When the church faces death, it encounters a critical moment when it may know the power of resurrection. But the church can only know this power in actually facing its death. Resurrection is not an abstraction or a mere possibility; resurrection is impossibility, that is, it cannot be counted on in the normal course of events. It is not a guarantee. It lies on the other side of that which canno...

Resurrection plants can tolerate extreme water loss. Substantial sugar accumulation is a phenomenon in resurrection plants during dehydration. Sugars have been identified as one important factor contributing to desiccation tolerance. Phylogenetic diversity of resurrection plants reflects the diversity of sugar metabolism in response to dehydration. Sugars, which accumulate during dehydration, h...

The golden era of molecular biology has paved the way for us now to tweak, fix, engineer, or even entirely synthesize genomes at levels and scales never seen before. Sequencing technologies continue to improve at exponential rates and have yielded powerful new insights into organisms of the distant past, as well as those that co-inhabit the planet with us. The era of genomics has ushered in the...

Water is a major limiting factor in growth and reproduction in plants. The ability of tissues to survive desiccation is commonly found in seeds or pollen but rarely present in vegetative tissues. Resurrection plants are remarkable as they can tolerate almost complete water loss from their vegetative tissues such as leaves and roots. Metabolism is shut down as they dehydrate and the plants becom...

in this article, the compatibility of the opinion on the impossibility of reincarnation and belief in bodily resurrection in transcendental philosophy is studied. to this end, while defining and mentioning different types of reincarnation, some impediments that caused the transcendental philosophers consider reincarnation as impossible are compiled. then it is specified, with regard to the opin...

most of the theologians and muslim philosophers, at least in accordance with tradition and narrative, believe in bodily resurrection as a necessary faith; but they have different conceptualizations of the “body of resurrection” such as: elemental body, heavenly body, intermediary body and imaginary body. the presentation of these conceptualizations will help us to find guidelines for more accur...

based on some important factors such as abstraction of imagination and also the power of soul on creation external imagery, molla sadra utters his claim about bodily resurrection and creation of eternal body by soul. and also he clarifies the way of creation and its quality. examining and understanding the dominant system on the world and resurrection, leads us to this point that in the world c...

I will discuss a new class of forcing axioms, the Resurrection Axioms (RA), and the Weak Resurrection Axioms (wRA). While Cohen’s method of forcing has been designed to change truths about the set-theoretic universe you live in, the point of Resurrection is that some truths that have been changed by forcing can in fact be resurrected, i.e. forced to hold again. In this talk, I will illustrate h...

Desiccation-tolerance (DT) evolved as the key solution to survival on land by the early algal ancestors of terrestrial plants. This 'first' DT involved utilizing rapidly mobilisable repair mechanisms and is still found today in mosses, such as Tortula ruralis, and ferns, such as Mohria caffrorum. The first seed plants lost vegetative DT while investing their seeds with tolerance mechanisms impr...
