Sunday Thoughts
Actually, these thoughts come upon me at completely random moments, so why bother nominating a day to express them? I listened yesterday to this radio program on ABC Radio National, dealing with music and it's effects upon our psyche. The speaker was Doctor Oliver Sacks. I found the program to be...
Writers, Vivo la Evolución
Every once in a while I peruse my old writings, be they blog or good 'ol pen and paper entries, usually on a whim or as some sort of tangent from whatever it was I was supposed to be doing. If you've ever partaken in this, which I imagine many writers do, then you know that this too is part of the...

Geology Newz: Hogwash
There are critters that live inside your body naturally, that have been around since the dawn of life, or nearabouts (2 billion years ago). It would probably make you barf (and sometimes does, if the balance is upset, or sometimes you eat something they are hiding in, waiting for you) if you knew...
What I'm learning this summer: evolution of the cell, and more
The fascinating question is how mitochondria and chloroplasts among other things originated and have evolved. Did the mitochondrion arise at the same time as, or subsequent to, the rest of the eukaryotic cell? Did it originate under initially anaerobic or aerobic conditions? What is the evolutionary...
Investigate Intelligent Design for Yourself
After the movie Expelled http://www.expelledthemovie.com/ came out I was glad that there was attention to Intelligent Design. The movie did a great job of opening a huge can of worms. However it did not help people take next steps in exploring the real issues. There were negative reactions and spin...
Spore Creature Creator
Even though I hate EA right now (mainly because of how they mangled The Sims Online), I am looking forward to the "life simulation" game of evolution, Spore, which is due to be released on September 7, 2008. Mary and Jack bought us the Spore Creature Creator because they know how much Maddie likes...
Genetic code of conduct?
clipped from www.psychologytoday.comMen and women are needy in different ways. Men get obsessed before they land a partner; women get obsessed after they find one. Men and women alike become desperate for a guarantee of love, but that desperation kicks in, roughly speaking, at different points in...
Still On Top After All These Years
150 years ago today, the theory of natural selection was first presented to the public. It is most interesting to note that not one but two scientists had discovered natural selection completely independently of one another. Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace did not know one another beyond...
evolution
Evolution the gecko curls his feet in fetal bliss wax worm fed eyes shuttered against light as when he sat in his egg content in warm goo dreaming nothingness and then a light cracking through calling him to break the shell and struggle out hungering I passed through ages in mother's womb floating...
Denialococcus evolureus
The sad thing is that this (also see this) comes from the same people that don't believe in anthropogenic contributions to planetary warming (even in the face of the evidence). See... no matter what, whether it is evidence of bacterial evolution or human contribution to our climate, there are those...
Opinion: The real news is not on the front page
If you happen to be a newspaper reader (or news site reader), I'd like to share my unscientific opinion that grew out of 3 years of daily reading of such esteemed newspapers as The Washington Post and The New York Times. The Business Section is about the only hope of reading what's really going on...
Richard Dawkins's Delusions
Richard Dawkins's Delusions I have been asked by a number of individuals to write an article commenting on Dr Richard Dawkins and his most recent book: The God Delusion. I have long admired his popular scientific works, long envied their clarity and his beautiful use of analogies. Like his American...
Evolution Isn’t Random
Many if not most of the people who oppose evolution have little or no real understanding of how it actually works. One of the greatest misconceptions is that evolution is random. Often they will argue that evolution is like expecting a fully operational 747 to assemble itself out of a pile of scrap....
christianity's 2 enduring problems
christianity has two enduring, but acute problems, both exacerbated by modernity. the first is the question of origins -- how the universe began. sending our children into the society without the equipment to think-through the modern view of origins is like placing them outside naked in the winter....
Creation VS. Evolution Rant
I weary of the seeming constant yammer of the creation/evolution debate. I weary of the evangelical requirement to check my brain at the door of the church. I weary of the fear and distain many of the churched have for those in the sciences. I weary of science’s fear of the church, built on the...
the laws of nature pt 1: birds and tortoises
As a child, while floating in the waters of sleep, going under then bobbing back up, waiting to sink, I would very often become aware of strange things going on in my brain. It was as though I were eavesdropping on conversations taking place at deeper levels of my mind. No, not conversations –...
