Evander Bradley McGilvary Ph.D. (July 19, 1864–September 11, 1953) was an American philosophical scholar, born in Bangkok to American Presbyterian missionaries, the Rev. Daniel McGilvary and Mrs. Sophia McGilvary. He came to the United States to study, graduating from Davidson College (N.C.) in 1884 and from Princeton University (A.M.) in 1888. In 1891, he returned to northern Thailand to join his parents in the Laos Mission of the Presbyterian Church USA. Although assigned to translate the Bible into northern Thai, McGilvary was soon embroiled in a denominational controversy over biblical inerrancy. In the wake of the 1893 heresy trial of Charles Augustus Briggs, whose views on Scripture he agreed with, McGilvary resigned from the Laos Mission in 1894 and returned to the United States. For five years, he taught at the University of California where he received the degree of Ph.D. in 1897.

Biblical authority
The term biblical authority refers to the extent to which commandments and doctrines within the Old and New Testament scriptures are authoritative over human belief and conduct, as well as the extent to which their propositions are accurate in matters of history and science. Biblical authority stems from the fact that God has revealed himself in written form through human authors and that the information contained in the canonical books is not of human origin. It entails, but is not exhausted by, questions raised by biblical inerrancy, biblical infallibility, biblical interpretation, biblical criticism, and Biblical law in Christianity.

Argyrochosma
Argyrochosma is a genus of ferns known commonly as false cloak ferns. The genus is included in the Cheilanthoideae subfamily of the Pteridaceae. Species now in this genus were previously treated as members of related genera "Notholaena" or "Pellaea" but were segregated into their own genus in 1987. These ferns, of which there are about 20 species, are mostly native to the Americas, from North to South and including the Caribbean, while one species, "A. connectens", is known from Sichuan, China. They are commonly found growing in cracks between rocks. Their leaves are generally shorter than 40 centimeters and have rounded bluish or grayish green segments. Often the lower surface of the segments is coated in a white dust, and the sporangia contain brown spores.

Nomascus
Nomascus is the second-most speciose genus of gibbons (family Hylobatidae). Originally, this genus was a subgenus of "Hylobates", and all individuals were considered one species, "Hylobates concolor". Species within "Nomascus" are characterized by 52 chromosomes. Some species are all black, some are light with a distinct black tuft of crown fur, and some have distinct, light-colored cheek patches. "Nomascus" is found from southern China (Yunnan) to southern Vietnam, and also on Hainan Island. One species, "Nomascus nasutus," has been deemed "the most critically endangered ape species in the world". All species in this genus are endangered or critically endangered.

Pseudopontia
Pseudopontia is a genus of butterflies found only in wet forests of tropical Africa. It is the only genus in the subfamily Pseudopontiinae. It was traditionally thought to contain only one species (monotypic), "Pseudopontia paradoxa". However, a recent study showed there are at least five species of "Pseudopontia" which can be distinguished genetically and by details of wing veins. Each is found primarily in a different part of Africa, though several of the species have overlapping geographic distributions.

Anthocharis
Anthocharis is a Holarctic genus of the butterfly tribe Anthocharini, in the Pieridae family. These are typically small, white-hued butterflies that have colorful marks just inside the tips of the forewings. The tip colors are usually a red-orange hue, hence the name "orange tip". The larvae of these butterfly often consume cruciferous plants containing chemicals called glucosinolates. This genus is characterized by two of the five subcostal veins branching off before the apex of the cell, by the upper radial being only little united with the subcostal, and by the central discocellular being rather long. In all the species the males have at least the apical portion of the forewing orange red or yellow. Only one species inhabits also the northern districts of the Palearctic region, all the others are found in the south of the Palearctic region, also some species occur in North America, but not one species extends into the tropics. The Anthocharis species have only one brood. The butterflies occur in spring.

Green acouchi
The green acouchi ("Myoprocta pratti") is a species of rodent in the acouchi genus, part of the family Dasyproctidae, from South America. Its distribution is in western Amazonia, west of the Rios Negro and Madeira, in northwestern Brazil, northeastern Peru, eastern Ecuador, southeastern Colombia, and southern Venezuela. There is substantial variation within this range, and the Green Acouchi, as currently recognized, may contain more than one species. Because the application of the scientific name "acouchy", currently in use for the Red Acouchi, has historically been disputed, the name "Myoprocta acouchy" has sometimes been used for this species instead of "Myoprocta pratti". The species is named for Antwerp Edgar Pratt who was a British naturalist.

Megacheira
Megacheira ("Great Hands") is an extinct class of predatory arthropods that possessed a pair of short enlarged appendages (the source of the class' name). They strongly resemble early chelicerates. Most of them were found in marine environments throughout the world from the lower to middle Cambrian. The group might also contain one species ("Enalikter aphson") described from the Silurian Herefordshire Lagerstätte of the United Kingdom, and one species ("Bundenbachiellus giganteus") known from the Early Devonian of Germany; however, the interpretation of these taxa as megacheirans was challenged by Struck "et al." (2015). Megacheirans were important components of several faunas, including the Burgess, Wheeler and Maotianshan Shales Lagerstatten. Genera referred to the class include "Leanchoilia", "Alalcomenaeus", "Oestokerkus", "Yohoia", "Fortiforceps" and "Jianfengia".

The show was broadcast on the channel M-net from September 3, 2006, to November 19, 2006, during which time twelve episodes aired. The contestants for this season were initially split into two tribes, the Embera tribe, named after Panama's semi-nomadic and heavily body-painted tribe, whose buffs were blue, and the Kuna tribe, named after a traditionally matriarchal and politically organised people of Panama, whose buffs were red. During the pre-merge portion of the program the Embera tribe dominated as they won the majority of both the reward and immunity challenges while Kuna saw their numbers dwindle from six to three. When the tribes merged into the Nagual tribe their buff colors may have changed to yellow, but their original tribal alliances remained and the former members of Embera quickly voted out Yagazie "Yaga" Chuwumerje and Nana Sarpong, leaving Metasebia "Meti" Yilma as the only former Kuna member left in the game. Following the elimination of Nana, Tsholofelo "Tebby" Gasenelwe approached Meti and Olanike "Nike" Gbolahan about forming an all-girl alliance. Once formed, the girl alliance, along with Jeremiah Zulu, voted out both Leonard Mapuranga and the leader of the former Embera alliance, Derrick Assetto. When it came time for the final four, the contestants competed in two challenges in order to determine the final two. The first of these challenges was the "plank" challenge. As Meti was the first person to fall off the plank, she was eliminated from the game. As Tebby was the last person to fall off the plank, she automatically advanced to the final two. The other two contestants competed in a second challenge which Jeremiah won and advanced to the final two while Nike was eliminated. Ultimately, it was Gasenelwe from Botswana who won this season over Jeremiah Zulu with a jury vote of 6–0.

The first of these alliances was South team's "C Team" alliance, which was composed of the younger members of the tribe, Birger Jensen, Christina Vilsøe, Frank Markussen, and Signe Ilkjær. This alliance was quickly broken up when in episode 3 Christina was injured and her fellow tribe members were forced to vote her out and when Signe betrayed her fellow alliance members by voting with Brigitte Hoff and Jens Jensen to eliminate Birger. The other, more successful alliance, formed early on in the North team. This alliance, composed of Kim Møller-Nielsen, Lærke Bregenhøj, Pia Rosholm, and Sonny Petersen created a voting block that would prove powerful throughout the season. Two episodes(episode 9 to be specific) after the teams initially merged, there was a vote to decide which of the eliminated contestants would return to the game. Christina won the vote and entered the game, but was soon voted out once again. The North team alliance having eventually picked off all merge members outside of their alliance composed the final four, with members Pia and Sonny eventually making up the final two. The jury this season was composed of the last eight players eliminated with the public awarding five jury votes as well. Ultimately, it was Sonny Petersen who won the season over Pia Rosholm with a jury vote of 8-5. Sonny was revealed to have received two of the three public jury votes as well as Anton, Brigitte, Christina, Ebbe, Frank, and Signe's votes.
