Facts: Did you know?
The changing seasons result from the Earth’s axial tilt, creating a complex and predictable cycle that has profound effects on agriculture, ecosystems, and the life cycles of organisms.
The reliability and predictability of the seasons are seen as evidence of divine order and design. Genesis 8:22.
THE NATION OF SOMALIA
Sunni Islam is the official religion of the unstable nation of Somalia. With no established permanent government, Somalia functions under the temporary leadership of the Union of Islamic Courts, which serves as a transitional authority.

Somalia has the seventh highest birth rate in the world, accompanied by the second highest maternal mortality rate, and the fourth highest infant mortality rate. The decades-long instability has also led to a 38% literacy rate, and almost one third of children are underweight.
