Adam, fall

He went on to explain that the governance of medicine had been placed in the hands of the archangel Raphael. It had been the fall of Adam that had been the cause of disease and of all evil, since this had led to man absenting himself from God s virtue. 

I can t bear it. It s unbearable, as remembering Adam so clearly was not, and a hot tear slides quietly from the corner of my eye and falls onto my jacket, a small, clean stain. 

All men must repent, for we are all sinful, since the fall of Adam, I say, like a dutiful schoolboy. It is not enough, though if I speak of such things, at such a time, it should be wholeheartedly, to the glory of God.

Carothers returned to Illinois chemistry department that fall to concentrate for two more years on organic chemistry with minors in physical chemistry and mathematics. His thesis topic was related to Adams signature discovery, a catalyst used to hydrogenate unsaturated fats for the shortening and soap industries. Carothers and 11 other collaborators produced 18 papers about the catalyst with Adams. At the same time, Carothers... 

A careful repeat of the flowing-afterglow measurement of Adams et al. 18 was subsequently carried out by Smith and Spanel.29 The results confirmed the Adams et al. observation that the recombination coefficient appears to fall off to a small value in the late afterglow. The authors concluded that the small recombination coefficient observed in the late afterglow is the proper value for v = 0 ions and that the initial rapid plasma decay in the early afterglow should be ascribed to vibrationally excited ions. 

R. Findling, The Commitment Cure What to Do When You Fall for an Ambivalent Man (Avon, Mass. Adams Media, 2004). The self-help section of bookstores is filled with books on commitment phobia. It is, though, interesting to note that the emphasis of these books is on the greater difficulties that women have in getting men to commit than vice versa. 

Forman s distrust of women was coupled with an interest in female physiology and morbidity. FFe repeated the humanist account of the model of the womb and ovaries as an inversion of the penis and testes and he was particularly concerned with the womb as a seat of disease. 1° For instance, in a transcription of a medieval manuscript describing the life of Adam and Eve, Forman inserted a list of diseases from which humankind would suffer after the Fall. Because Eve harkened the serpent , women suffered more than seventy diseases specific to their sex, though Forman only recorded fourteen of these. These all related to the womb or the breasts, and were conditions that Forman encountered amongst his patients. ... 

Ashm. 802, ii. I follow the title used by modern scholars. Formans earlier interest in Adam and Eve is documented in his Argument between Forman and death (1585), which concluded with details about Adam and Eve being in Paradise for seven hours, and with the Fall creating death Ashm. 208, fo. 248.

In a chapter on the originall causes of all diseases in the greate worlde, and the little worlde, which is man, Bostocke recounted the story of the Fall in order to demonstrate that the binary principle of Galenic medicine, predicated on opposites, was corrupt. The serpent, Binarius , had persuaded Adam and Eve to eat the apple, Whereupon by the curse of God impure Seedes were mingled with the perfect seedes, and did cleave fast to them, and doe cover them as a garment and death was joyned to life. This impurity was in all... 

Whether or not Du Bartas or I.W. influenced Forman s taxonomy of disease, their texts demonstrate that there were precedents in Elizabethan England for cataloguing the diseases which afflicted man after the Fall, though I have not located another instance of Adam rehearsing a list of diseases on his deathbed. 

Du Bartas, Forman, and the elusive I.W. probably drew on similar sources and traditions and their lists suggest an association of the Fall, disease, and alchemy across a spectrum of literature, medical, alchemical, literary, and moral, in sixteenth-century Europe. Forman perused this material in pursuit of information about man, the cosmos, medicine, and disease. He documented what happened when Adam and Eve ate the fruit of the tree of knowledge and sowed the seeds of disease within their bodies. Banished from Paradise, they kept free will and the knowledge of good and evil, the two vehicles by which humankind had thereafter tried to return to the tree of life, once again to eat the food of angels and achieve eternity. 

While the unimolecular chemiluminescence of dioxetanones appears to fall easily within the framework of conventional dioxetane chemiluminescence, the chemiluminescence of dioxetanones in the presence of certain fluorescers falls resoundingly outside that framework. Adam et al. (1974) noted that the addition of rubrene to solutions of dimethyldioxetanone gave a yield of light twenty times that obtained when an equivalent concentration of 9,10-diphenylanthracene was added. Importantly, the apparent dissimilarity between rubrene and diphenylanthracene is inexplicable by any conventional mechanism of dioxetane decomposition. Also, significantly, Adam et al. (1974) observed an increase in the first-order decay constant of the dioxetanone with the addition of rubrene, an observation for which they did not offer an explanation. Sawaki and Ogata (1977) also observed an unusual dependence of the chemiluminescence yield on the identity of added fluorescer in the base-catalyzed decomposition of or-hydroperoxyesters, for which a dioxetanone intermediate was proposed (25). 

Tertullian s fallen angels. He is the primordial man, a microcosm of the universe living in harmony with nature in Eden. The Fall is seen as Adam and Eve s exercise of free will, of their desire to immerse themselves in the physical world while still retaining a connection to the spiritual.
