And not just about science. From a comment on one of my answers, "World war 1 dramatically ended and no one knows why ??? The 11th hour...the 11th month...the 11th day Neither side surrendered....it remains a mystery...I call it God!!!" Are they afraid that knowledge will destroy their faith? GC - Thank for adding more weight to my argument with that answer. Science does nothing of the sort and shows that most events in the Bible have no evidence of ever happening. Fireball - When someone is blatantly ignorant and attributes known events as mysteries caused by god that is dangerously ignorant. As bad as the history and science was in the USSR. Ignorance is dangerous. Rude or not it needs to be called out and shown for what it is. And Fireball it was not rude. It was factual and a question on why some embraced ignorance along with my speculation on why that was so. Are you pro-ignorance? And another thanks to Gregory for providing more support for the premise of my question. And another thanks to Gregory for providing more support for the premise of my question.

Anything that sounds like that? Etorp, Etarp, Eterp, with or without "s" at the end. It may be closer to Calais, but it could be near Lille too. Also another called Vaux Chapelle or Vieux Chapelle somewhere close to Plug Street (Ploegsteert) or Albert Wood? Hard to say whether they are in France or Belgium. I have also asked under History I'm trying to find localities mentioned in a hand written memoir of the Western Front in World War 1 with some dodgy spelling. Localities where Australian 2nd Division may have passed through or been stationed in July - August 1916. I have found several but these two beat me.

What war (or battle) did Henry went into conflict with France because of Britanny? Who was the French King? What was the peace treaty called in which France agreed to give a life time pension to England?

I need to do a french power point on Sightseeing in North Western France. When I search it on Google tourism in NW France Brittany and Upper and Lower Normandy shows up. I look in these places and there isn't really anything i can put in there and if i find something I can't find any history on it. What are some good places for sightseeing/tourism in these areas? Please Help

Where abouts in France did the solders fight? Or Belgium, please give me the names of the places not just the Northern fronts on France/Belgium Thanks
