If either myself or my opponent fails to meet their burden, we will have lost the debate.

The constant which symbolizes darkness is removed from the expression together with the verse in which God separates the darkness from light. The magnitude of evening, so-called, is accurate throughout every evening. That the magnitude becomes the radius of the dome is an accurate interpretation based on the fact that the subjects are accurately symbolized in the corresponding verses. The quantity, pi, symbolizes the earth--
