Do you capitalize Best Wishes?
Best should be capitalized but wishes should not. Thus becoming: Best wishes.
A punctuation mark. Example [...] In writing, an ellipsis is a series of three periods (dots) that indicate an omission. They look like this:
... or . . .
They are most often used with quoted material to show where something was left out. Here is an example. Suppose you were quoting this passage: "During the war, manufactured goods, fresh produce, and luxury items were difficult to obtain." But the subject you're writing about is manufacturing and distribution. You don't need the whole passage. So you can leave out part of it and put in an ellipsis (the three dots are also called ellipsis points) to show where the omission occurred. Then you would quote it like this:
"During the war, manufactured goods . . . were difficult to obtain."
For a short passage, you probably wouldn't do this, but for a longer passage it might be necessary. You do have to be careful not to distort the meaning, though. The other way they are used, mostly in fiction, is to indicate a trailing off of speech, an unfinished thought. Here is an example:
"I don't think we should go to the party," said Shirley. "We weren't invited. But if you really want to . . ."
The plural of Dr. is Drs. (We consulted Drs. Carter, Lincoln, and Ford.)
To write a quote, you need to come up with a short and impactful sentence that captures a particular idea, message, or sentiment. Make sure your words are clear, memorable, and have relevance to the topic or situation you are addressing. It's also important to attribute the quote to the right person if it is a direct statement made by someone else.
Do you capitalize social studies?
You should capitalize the names of school subjects if you are referring to a specific class, like "History 241". If it has a name in it that is already capitalized such as "Spanish" (Spain) or in this case "United States history" I would assume that you capitalize United States because it is always capitalized, but not history unless it is a specific class.
Words such as "Spanish" and "American" are proper adjectives, and they should always be capitalized, just as are written the proper nouns from which they were derived, Spain and Americia. If you are simply referring to a school subject such as mathematics or physics, you would not capitalize these words unless, as previously stated, the names refer to specific class titles, as listed in a college catalog, for instance.
Semicolons are used to separate two independent clauses that hold the same idea, thus keeping them in the same sentence. You could say "I like baseball. Soccer is faster" however, you can also say "I like baseball; soccer is faster".

If God didn't marry why should you?
--God never had sex either. Why should you? --God created marriage in the Garden of Eden. (Genesis 2:18, 21-24) Furthermore, He uses marriage as a symbol of Christ's relationship with the church. (Ephesians 5:25) Genesis 2 18And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. .... 21And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 22And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. 23And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. 24Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; --God also didn't need to marry since He is entirely complete in Himself. Woman is a completer for man (not a competer) as man alone is in a sense incomplete. This is not to say that all will marry but that marriage is essentially a good thing and intended for the good of all who enter into it.

No. Spinoza was a Deist.
Spinoza was a pantheist == == == ==
Spinoza was definitely an atheist given any modern definition of the word. He argues that everything is a part of "God or Nature" and basically says that every "thing" is a part of Nature, which could also be called God, but God is not a transcendent being with free will, as one would typically define the god of theism. He doesn't think God can do miracles, act outside of his own nature, or be separated from what we would call the material and intellectual world. He is not a deist, deism consists of a transcendent God who is not one with the universe in any conceivable way. Spinoza is a Natural Pantheist, which is an important distinction from the pantheism involved in Hinduism or even Christianity. Pantheism is not distinct from atheism or theism in many ways, and it was probably an artifact of Spinoza's cultural environment that kept him from realizing the lack of distinction between his metaphysics and atheism. == == == ==
Who is the giant with 100 eyes in Greek Mythology?
Argus Panoptes: In Greek mythology, brother to the nymph Io, Argus was a giant with a hundred eyes. His great service to the Olympian pantheon was to slay the chthonic serpent-legged monster Echidna as she slept in her cave. He then had to guard a white heifer from the god Zeus, but in reality the heifer was Io, whom Zeus wanted to couple with.
