	Designing CONSTITUTION
		Humphreys not only gained experience in the design and construction of frigates from this association, he also gained introduction to people in positions of power, like Robert Morris, sometimes called the "financier of the Revolution." In the years following the peace, Humphreys became an established shipbuilder in Philadelphia.
		Humphreys also provided an estimate of the quantities of timber necessary, from 50,000 locust treenails in 18-, 24-, and 30-inch lengths, to 18,000 feet of four inch plank for bottom and ceiling planking, to one live oak stern post thirty feet long and twenty-two inches square.
		Joshua Humphreys had given his 44-gun frigate design the name "Terrible," meaning "Awesome," long before President Washington picked the name Constitution for the frigate to be built in Boston.

		He was the son of Samuel Humphreys (1778-1846), chief constructor U.S.N., and grandson of Joshua Humphreys (1751-1838), the designer of the Constitution and other famous frigates of the war of 1812, sometimes knowr as the father of the American navy.
		In the earlier part of the Civil War Humphreys was employed as a topographical engineer with the Army of the Potomac, and rendered conspicuous services in the Seven Days Battles.
		Soon after this he was assigned to command a division of the V. corps, and at the battle of Fredericksburg he distinguished himself greatly in the last attack of Maryes heights.

	The Mariners' Museum : Birth of the U.S. Navy
		Humphreys had been among the shipwrights Knox had consulted in 1791, and he was in complete agreement as to the type of ships the new navy would require.
		In a letter to Pennsylvania Senator Robert Morris, Humphreys offered his opinion that since the government could not afford to build a great fleet in terms of numbers, the frigates must be large and strong, yet fast.
		Humphreys felt that the American frigates should be constructed in such a way that "in blowing weather" they would prevail over double-decked warships, yet be fast enough to escape an overly large enemy if necessary.

	USS Constitution Rehabilitation And Restoration
		Joshua Humphreys, the designer of the Navy's first six frigates, that included Constitution, had two criteria to satisfy, to out gun the next rate ship and to out-sail adversaries.
		Just as Humphreys specified in 1794, the Detachment recognized in 1994 the effectiveness of the structural components and successfully extended the dry dock repair activity to include the restoration of those five structural components.
		Joshua Humphreys is owed credit for the 200 year story of success of Constitution.

	Building CONSTITUTION
		Before that could happen, a designer had to be picked, plans had to be drawn up, shipyards selected, and contracts signed for the cutting of the necessary timbers and for the manufacture of the many items needed to complete this most complex system.
		Joshua Humphreys' approach to designing the frigates was first to consider what they were expected to do, and then against whom they were to operate and how many of them there might be.
		While Humphreys was proceeding with his work, Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton used a list of materials provided by Humphreys to begin the contracting process on 16 April.

		In short, the argument comes down to is this: Sarfati, Humphreys, and their colleagues are morally certain that they have interpreted the Genesis account correctly and, based on this certainty, dogmatically believe that much of modern science must be rejected and the data reconstructed to bring them into accord with their understanding of the Bible.
		Missing is Late Bronze material, which is the period of Joshua's conquest, regardless of whether one chooses the early or the late date for the Exodus.
