Growing up I was told that George Washington Carver invented peanut butter from my history teacher in elementary. I remember my teacher asking the class if we knew where peanut butter came from. Everyone just looked at each other waiting for a response. My teacher told us that George Washington Carver did, so I believed this belief for the longest time.

OLDVIEW: I use to think that Vincent Van

    Thomas Jefferson was an eminent inventor in the eighteenth century and his involvement as an inventor is very distinctive. Since Jefferson grew up in a family of farmers, he was strongly inquisitive in farming so he wanted to invent something that would make it easier. He invented an iron plow that dug deeper and averted soil erosion. To produce more of the same product he used mathematical procedures and marked outlines. There is a lot of controversy whether or not Jefferson invented the popular dish we eat today, macaroni and cheese. In fact, he didn’t invent macaroni and cheese, but instead, the macaroni machine. This appliance was used to roll pasta and legends say that his daughter created the first dish of macaroni and cheese made with parmesan. The establishment of the Polygraph was one of his most popular involvements and it copied letters by emulating the motion of the writer’s hand. It was initially produced by Hawkins and then sold to…

    Do you believe George Washington existed? The only thing we have to go by is writings about him. Do you believe all religions are false? If you looked at a watch, you would realize someone had to make it. The only thing religious people can go by is faith. The bible was written by humans, but those who wrote it were never seen by the people who presently believe its truth. Religious people that practice Christianity choose to trust those who wrote the bible. If you trust what was written by and about George Washington then why can't you trust what was written by those who wrote the Bible? “We are on the one hand finite, bound to earth, and capable of sin. On the other hand, we can transcend nature because we are “made in the image of God.” As…
