sentences: Green Thumb Theatre (also known as the Green Thumb Theatre for Young People and simply as Green Thumb) is a Canadian children's theatre company based in Vancouver, British Columbia that was founded in 1975.
 Playwright Dennis Foon was one of the co-founders.
 The theatre building out of which Green Thumb operates is located in East Vancouver near the Vancouver East Cultural Centre.
 English Canadian Ken Peirson was the manager of Green Thumb from 1982 to 1985.
 In 1982, Green Thumb produced "Feeling Yes, Feeling No", a sexual abuse prevention program.
 Green Thumb performed the premiere of Colin Thomas' play "One Thousand Cranes" in 1983.
 Morris Panych has written several plays for the company that have toured internationally.
 Green Thumb's "Celestial Being" received the 2015 Jessie Richardson Theatre Award for outstanding production for young audiences.
 Also that year, Green Thumb performed George F. Walker's "Moss Park".
 As of 2014, Patrick McDonald is Green Thumb's artistic director.
The Korean Bow (Korean: 각궁, Gak-gung hanja: 角弓 , or "horn bow") is a water buffalo horn-based composite reflex bow, standardized about centuries ago from a variety of similar weapons in earlier use.
 Due to its long use by Koreans, it is also known as Guk Gung (Korean: 국궁 hanja: 國弓 , or "national bow").
 The Korean bow utilizes a thumb draw and therefore employing the use of a thumb ring is quite common.
 The Korean thumb ring is somewhat different from the Manchu, Mongol, or the Turkish Thumb Ring, as it comes in two styles, male and female.
 Male thumb rings are shaped with a small protrusion that sticks out that the bowstring hooks behind (similar to a release aid), while the female thumb ring simply covers the front joint of the thumb as protection from getting blisters (pulling heavy bows repetitively with only the thumb can easily cause blisters to form on the pad of the thumb).
 Also, the arrow is laid on the right side of the bow, unlike the western bow, where the arrow is laid on the left side of the bow.
Karl Willard Giberson (born May 13, 1957) is a physicist, scholar, and author specializing in the creation-evolution debate (see Creation-evolution controversy).
 He has held a teaching post since 1984, written several books, and been a member of various academic and scientific organizations.
 He formerly served as vice president of the BioLogos Foundation.
"Clubbed thumb" , stub thumb, potter's thumb, bohemian thumb, royal thumb, trolls thumb, dinosaur thumb, or murderer's thumb are historically colloquial names likely associated with the genetic trait known as brachydactyly type D or BDD.
 BDD is the classification of a skeletal formation found in one or both hands marked by an abnormally short and round thumb with an accompanying short and wide nail bed.
 BDD exhibits autosomal dominance and is developed or inherited independently of other hereditary traits.
Charles Darwin's views on religion have been the subject of much interest.
 His pivotal work in the development of modern biology and evolution theory played a prominent part in debates about religion and science at the time, then, in the early 20th century became a focus of the creation-evolution controversy in the United States.
The Panda's Thumb is a weblog on the creation-evolution controversy from a mainstream scientific perspective.
 In 2006, "Nature" listed it as one of the top five science blogs.
 It is written by multiple contributors, including Wesley R. Elsberry, Paul R. Gross, Nick Matzke, PZ Myers and Mark Perakh, many of whom also have complementary weblogs at ScienceBlogs.
 The blog takes its name from The Panda's Thumb, the pub of the virtual University of Ediacara, which is named after the by Stephen Jay Gould, which in turn takes its title from the essay "The Panda's Peculiar Thumb", which discusses the Panda's sesamoid bone, an example of convergent evolution.
Dr. Wesley Royce Elsberry (born January 23, 1960) is a marine biologist with an interdisciplinary background in zoology, computer science, and wildlife and fisheries sciences.
 He has also become notably involved in the creation-evolution controversy.
Ariel A. Roth (born 1927) is a zoologist and creationist who was born in Geneva, Switzerland and now lives in the United States.
 He is a leading figure in the field of flood geology, having been involved and published extensively on the creation-evolution controversy.
The level of support for evolution among scientists, the public and other groups is a topic that frequently arises in the creation-evolution controversy and touches on educational, religious, philosophical, scientific and political issues.
 The subject is especially contentious in countries where significant levels of non-acceptance of evolution by general society exist although evolution is taught at school and university.
Denis O. Lamoureux (born May 27, 1954) holds a professorial chair of science and religion at St. Joseph's College at the University of Alberta, Canada.
 He has doctoral degrees in dentistry, theology, and biology.
 The author of "Evolutionary Creation" and of "I Love Jesus and I Accept Evolution", he has also written (along with Phillip E. Johnson) "Darwinism Defeated?
 The Johnson-Lamoureux Debate on Biological Origins", on the creation-evolution controversy (Regent College, 1999).
