Welcome to The School of Godology. Whereas theology schools focus on religion, The School of Godology focuses on God. This course - God 101 - is a course on what/who God is. This course discusses different aspects of God to give you a general idea of what/who God is. God 101 is a pass/fail course. In order to pass, you must consider all of the information presented and present a paper discussing what/who God might be, ending with the conclusion that nobody really knows what/who God is. Any person (angels excluded) concluding that they know what/who God is will fail.

These states have laws that car companies selling cars in their state must provide a certain percentage of EVs. I am going to focus on the EVs which are widely available in the US now (2018).

How did I find myself alone in a ship with the one person who frustrates me the most? Why does Sarah have to be so different? Why do I keep hearing her name in my head?
