Soon after the young earth started cooling, it witnessed a rather uncommon event, or might we think so. Our planet is the only world known to harbor life so far. There is no guarantee that in the near or far future we will ever find a planet such as ours. Multiple theories and hypotheses try to explain what happened, or rather, how life arised on the surface of our beloved planet. Some theories claim that water has been brought by comets. It is the one of the most interesting theories to explain Abiogenesis a.k.a how life originated from inorganic material, even though recent discoveries tend to...
I am baffled by the poor skepticism most religious people show.Shall it be Islam or Christianity, both religions claim that we have been designed rather than evolved.The poorly critical mind might see the human body as a perfect machine, a beautiful survival machine, perfectly built, which would prove, somehow, the existence of a designer a.k.a God. For several reasons I have to disprove this claim, our body is far from being free of evolutionary mistakes, one of the most obvious ones is the fact that we use the same internal pathway for breathing and eating, resulting in an increased risk...
I respect it, specially when people do it for philosophical reasons such as trying to protect animals or trying to go against animal suffering. However, some people and even some advertisements on the television propagate the idea that we, humans, are vegetarians and that living solely on a herbivore diet is better for overall health. That is bullshit and I am going to explain it in this article using various anatomic references. The upper part of the skull holds a strong temporalis muscle ( Bite something and you will feel a muscle contracting right over your ears), being inserted high on the...
2014 was indeed a very good year for science, one of the greatest news I've heard that year is Rosetta's philae lander landing on a comet for the first time in human history, it landed on comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko, not easily though, the poor lander had hard time trying to land but it made it after all. It was success for humanity but it also led to an incredible discovery, philae analysed samples from the frozen rock and it found organic molecules ! It found glycine which is an amino acid that is indispensable for life as well as a bunch of others, it was an incredible discovery and it supported...
Time had began, space started expanding, encompassing all that could be seen. Our world was born and life quickly emerged from its shell, evolving forevermore. Ancient animals came to be, and from that very moment we could contemplate the very notion of power... Even today, when we observe the animal kingdom we can see this primordial principle dominate the animal kingdom and human society. From the beginning, people and animals have divided themselves into packs, tribes, societies and so on, these groups would always be governed by a leader be it an individual or a smaller group of elites. Throughout...
One of the most familiar accounts found in the old testament is the book of Genesis story of Noah, who upon God's unstruction built an ark to preserve himself and the animals of the world when God decided to destroy the world with a flood ( Such a psycho right ? ) God sensessly murdered billions and it is not the first time god displays horrific tendencies: Exodus chapter 12 verse 28: '' So the people of Israel did just as the LORD had commanded through Moses and Aaron. And at midnight the LORD killed all the firstborn sons in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sat on the...
Newton and Galileo were religious, would a theist person say; '' How can you set yourself superior to them ? Knowing the truth ? Just who do you think you are ? '' I've heard this really bad argument comming out of the mouth of people too often. As it is said in Dawkin's Book '' The God Delusion '' Wich i recommend every Believer or Non - Believer to read, Some people even add the name of Darwin, claiming that he has converted himself on his deathbed etc ... All rumours. Darwin followed that path because it was the best way for him, to keep up his researchs. But great scientists like Newton claimed...
