What role did the space race play in reducing the nuclear threat during the 1960s? Interesting, and concise analysis. Thank you. |

Languages spoken by Josephus? I didn't do that initially because it's not a complete answer, but done... |

What role did the space race play in reducing the nuclear threat during the 1960s? If moon landing was relevant to ICBM technology, then the Russians wouldn't have abandoned their moon landing effort once the U.S. accomplished it, but would have re-doubled their efforts to prove catch up on the military front. |

What role did the space race play in reducing the nuclear threat during the 1960s? That argument makes sense for space craft that orbit Earth, but beyond that, the things necessary for a moon landing (dockable spacecraft, space walks, life support systems, and all that is necessary to land and take off from the moon) have nothing to do with ICBMs. I think the point the museum was making was that JFK was trying to push these other goals, that have no (direct) military application. |

Has there ever been a serious effort to reform the US Electoral College system? @KeithThompson: I suppose in a technical sense, it provides a boolean answer, along with a lot of personal opinion. But that boolean answer isn't very useful, IMO. Although considering the other up-votes, there are obviously those who disagree with me. |

Has there ever been a serious effort to reform the US Electoral College system? This doesn't even attempt to answer the question from what I can see (although I must admit, I didn't read every word), and sound like an editorial, with a few (irrelevant to the actual question) historical facts interspersed. |

Has there ever been a serious effort to reform the US Electoral College system? This doesn't really answer the question, and sounds mostly like an op-ed. |

Which came first: Polytheism or monotheism? Thank you for the thorough and respectful answer. |

When did polygamy start becoming illegal? I don't believe "Christianity" does ban polygamy. It was a common practice throughout the Old and New Testaments, and was never forbidden by scripture. That's not to say certain modern Christian sects don't ban it, though... |

How was the literacy rate of Americans impacted by the establishment of public schools? Public schools were not established in america all at once. That doesn't mean some interesting trends can't be gleaned, but there wasn't an "instant" at which public schools were made a reality, as the question seems to imply. |

Which came first: Polytheism or monotheism? I'm having a hard time understanding how polytheism is "simpler." It's clearly not simpler in a "mathematical" sense, as polytheistic religions tend to have very complex systems explaining the relationships between their various gods. In what sense is polytheism simpler than monotheism? Perhaps point me to a resource, since this is starting to get off topic for comments :) |

Which came first: Polytheism or monotheism? The Catholic tradition of praying to saints as "gods" is very common here in Mexico, too, but if anything, this is an example of "polytheism" growing out of monotheism, is it not? |

Which came first: Polytheism or monotheism? Why the down vote? Is this a bad question some how? |
