         <description><![CDATA[<p>Use of scientific language that is meaningless definition:</p><p>The definition of " use of scientific language that is meaningless " is when a person uses scientific words to sound smart, when there's no reason for it. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Connection: </p><p>The company Derma uses the scientific word like "derma" to sound more sophisticated. They could just use the title "skin product E" but they use meaningless scientific words to grab the customers attention. </p>]]></description>

They would leave out ALL of the data and that would lead to data not being able to be recreated or verified. Without all the raw data you are not able to evaluate the source, evaluate the evidence, or come to proper conclusion. Without doing these steps there is a very high chance the results could be dangerous to a consumer. </p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Convines by faith and belief ( in spite of evidence) definition:</p><p>Convinces by faith and belief defines as someone who is convinced with their whole heart and beliefs that they are correct, in spite of real evidence.</p><p><br/></p><p>Connection:</p><p><br/></p><p>Charlie Kirk was a right wing guy who went around American colleges and challenged students beliefs. He would bring actual evidence to support is claims and his opposition brought nothing but emotions. Charlie had numerous reputable sources to back his claims. He was assassinated recently for speaking his opinion (lot of it was messed up but he had evidence) by the "left wing" supporters. It's crazy to think a public figure as popular as him can be killed just for having an opinion with strong supporting evidence. </p>]]></description>

Which led to many people becomingskeptical about the situation, which also led to an investigation. </p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p><br/></p><p>Suppression of authorities definition:</p><p>The definition of Suppression of authorities is when the government withholds, hides, or lies about information from the public. </p><p><br/></p><p>Connection: </p><p><br/></p><p>Area 51 is known to the public as a military base where they test planes. Over the years ex employees have come forward stating that the base is used to experiment on aliens.  Ever since area 51 became known to the public the American gov has done absolutely everything to distort the truth of the base. All their other bases are open to the public, just need permission and a legit reason to be there. You can't even get near the front gate at area 51 it's so guarded now. If it really is just a  base to test planes why all the secrets? They have been very transparent with their military technology in the past. </p>]]></description>

Having them around u wil transfer the energy into you. For example a tigers eye rock is said to protect a person from negative energy. There have been studies done to debunk this claim. No mattr what evidence you bring forward to  a "stone believer "  their beliefs are so strong nothing will change their mind. They need the "energy" to feel confident. My sister in law is a stone energy believer, she has a rock for every emotion or scenario to help her "energy levels".</p>]]></description>

They get together every Sunday and spend an hour praising their God. Through praying and doing good deeds they " feel" God's love. In the end they are hoping their deeds will love will be enough to get into heaven. There has been many scientific studies done or events that happened,that prove their God isnt real. Even with all this evidence their emotional connections are so strong nothing will deture their faith. </p>]]></description>

Although in 2024 scientists discovered a new part of the Nile that as buried, possibly how they were able to transport the stones.</p>]]></description>
