"In matters relating to the physical or natural sciences the sacred writers spoke as children of their time, and in a language which their fellowman could understand." Comment on these words. Show how they help to explain many apparent contradictions between science and the Bible; e. g., Josue commanding the sun to stand still, the earth supposed to rest on water, the chambers of water above the firmament, the cud-chewing hares, etc.

Two loudspeakers, 5.5 m apart and facing each other, play identical sounds of the same frequency. you stand halfway between them, where there is a maximum of sound intensity. moving from this point toward one of the speakers, you encounter a minimum of sound intensity when you have moved 0.33 m . assume the speed of sound is 340 m/s.part a) what is the frequency of the sound? part b) if the frequency is then increased while you remain 0.21 m from the center, what is the first frequency for which that location will be a maximum of sound intensity? express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
