I know what you mean – I've noticed that a lot too. After all – we're making a whole new world, and the more we learn about how God made his, the better ours is going to be.

How would you see the topics you've integrated being taught in such a way as to be useful in writing?
I actually am watching right now a really awesome chemistry video series called Chemistry 101, and the way it has been approaching the subject is awesome – especially when it comes to integrating the subject into your writing (though of course from a purely learning angle it's the best I've seen too ). He's going through the history of who discovered the various theories and principles of chemistry and how they discovered it. It gives you an awesome historical view of what stages people went through in finding out the truth, what theories they had in the interim, and the actual processes they used to discover the facts. When it comes to using that in your worldbuilding, it gives you a basis for portraying your people at a less advanced scientific stage, much more realistically. I'm loving it.
