King James Only Movement - King James Only Movement The King James Only Movement is a movement within Protestant fundamentalist Christianity which rejects all modern translations of the Bible, and accepts only the King James Version (KJV). This position is most prevalent within the Independent Baptist branch of the Baptist movement. The rejection is based in part on the different texts which were used to translate the different translations of the Bible. Most modern translations are translated from the Alexandrian manuscripts, while the King James Version was translated from the Textus Receptus, or Received Text. There are variations within the King James Only Movement. For example, the late John R. Rice, who published The Sword of the Lord, took a position that only the original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts are inspired scripture,.

James Hutton - James Hutton James Hutton (3 June 1726-26 March 1797) was a Scottish geologist, noted for formulating uniformitarianism and the Plutonist school of thought. Considered by many to be the father of modern geology. Trained as both a lawyer and medical doctor, Hutton found himself attracted to the nascent science of geology.

James Thurber - James Thurber James Grover Thurber (December 8, 1894 - November 2, 1961) was a U.S humorist and cartoonist. Thurber was best known for his contributions (both cartoons and short stories) to The New Yorker. Thurber was born in Columbus, Ohio.

Due to a childhood injury, Thurber suffered from very poor eyesight and his eyes grew weaker as he grew older.

Many of his short stories are humorous fictional memoirs from his life, but he also wrote.
