Do you enjoy educational T.V.?

The comments ov T.V. viewing on the "Bedtime Stories" thread made me think of this.

I love educational programs and my favorite channels are, "The History Channel", "Discovery", "PBS", and "The Learning Channel".

Just the other night there was a program on called "Newton's Dark Secrets" about Isaak Newton. I learned things I never knew. For instance, Newton was a devout Christian, whose meticulous study of the scriptures led him to conclude that both Catholicism and the Anglican Church of England were based on dangerous heresies. He also searched out hidden meanings in the Bible and pursued the covert art of alchemy.

Another fixation was dating the Apocalypse based on clues in the Bible. It was recently announced that, according to Newton, the date for all the turmoil predicted in the book of Revelation is in our own century: 2060.

He had a strange, complex, and fascinating mind to be sure! He and I would probably have gotten on just fine! Lol. ;-)

Oh god YES!!! Those are my favorites!! I love the Planet Earth series! I could watch those for hours! Amazing stuff!! I also like the Worst Jobs In History. (I think that's the name!)

I adore PBS! That is great TV!

I watch an lot of this stuff also, I have taped in particular such as finding the "Star of Bethlahem" at Chirstmas,  and I loved the PBS "Peter, Paul, and Mary Holiday special, they did an song there that I had in an book I found, and I asked my son's teacher Mary if she knew the tune at his Montessori School..quite an surprise to me to hear this trio sing it. I alos like th e"Bible in HIsotry" where they have been taking passages and scientifically recreating the words for truth..it has been amzaing information..such as indeed starting fires without matches, the proven heigth of th etower of babel possibly..ect, and of course we see also Animal Planet, The Survivalist, England's Castles, all kinds of shows. Kind of getting into more Hallmark Tv shows also. They have all but mad emy HGTV show into an real estate selling show...far from what it was in years back...it's getting tiring to see them do nothing but sell houses...as I enjoyed the craft shows and new ideas in it as much as the travel shows and odd built houses world wide that they use to show. I like dhte designer shows, with ideas for under $500 dollars. How else would I know to make rocks into painted old time village houses and buy the people for an Christmas Village. Or using collinders to strain food, upside down forunique lighting in the kitchen...even old hub caps from cars in an boys bedroom. What I don't watch, heavy documentary shows, soap box operas, and lot of sports..and my hubby and I go around in this, I send hm to his own small TV set,...as I do the kids on cartoons also..bu tthen they seem to let the tv's run and come upstairs anyway. WE lla like simple game shows..Concentration, so forth, I use to lkike to watch Emeril Lagasse nightly cookingshow with his entertainment, they took it off, I'm tird of constant Martha Stewart and Racheal Ray...I stilllike house hunters an dinternational house hunters though, I like the design shows out, Wha tnto to wear, as Long as they are to rude in what they say to their people getting make-overs,..an lot of Discovery shows also. 

 That was an surpise..thank you whomever posted the picture of my dad an me...Ok POE..can you detect I was what they call now an "indigo" child from this picture? My mother and sister were siting next to my dad, my brother had not been born as yet..they are all smiling and I'm kind of deep souled looking even then. About this time, my dad introduced to me, his "Popular Science" magazines he kept in old cigar boxes, and tinker toys and between the both of us, we went through an lot of science/building things together. . I guess you know I would live with his blasted thick bushy eye-brows in my female life. I found an woman that is an CEO of her own company, that just so much reveled my entire life, and she too was an "indigo" child, why they came up with the term for this these days is beyond me, but we were born "different". I was seeing "visions" back then, but nothing like now, since the after-death expereinces.

Sorry about the spellings..this morning I typed something up and watched it actually show up an long time after I had typed it...and then incorectly. I never know what is going to show up after posting it.
