The crystal structure of a molecule from a primitive fungus has served as a time machine to show researchers more about the evolution of life from the simple to the complex. By studying the three-dimensional version of the fungus protein bound to an RNA molecule, scientists have been able to visualize how life progressed from an early self-replicating molecule that also performed chemical reaction... read full post picked by AutumnLotus 9 months ago

Snippets of mammalian DNA have been found that have survived eons of evolution and yet have no apparent purpose. Furthermore, although mutations do occur in this region, they are quickly weeded out. It seems that this region is under an intense purifying selection. picked by bernardblack 3 days ago

The ReligionFacts "Big Religion Chart" is an attempt to summarize all the complexities of religions and belief systems into tiny little boxes on a single, quick-reference comparison chart. Yes, of course this is impossible. As we always warn with our comparison charts, this is no substitute for reading about religions in greater detail, talking with religious adherents, etc. But this rel... read full post picked by 2manyusernames 8 months ago

Pope Benedict has said there is substantial scientific proof of the theory of evolution. The Pope, speaking as he was concluding his holiday in northern Italy, also said the human race must listen to "the voice of the Earth" or risk destroying its very existence. picked by deepchill 1 year ago

Hey, it's the name of the site! "If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities" -- Voltaire (1694-1778) Throughout history, religion has been responsible for a large proportion of the suffering in the world - yet religious beliefs are based in ancient myths and legends that should have been discarded centuries ago. The purpose of this site is to point out the errors in religi... read full post picked by 2manyusernames 9 months ago

It's not "just" a theory, fossil record gaps prove nothing and science classrooms should shun creationism. Overzealous creationists might want to pay particular attention, and those who accept evolution may learn something, too. picked by TheStep 8 months ago

In the history of life on earth, one intriguing mystery is how plants made the transition from water to land and then went on to diversify into the array of vegetation we see today, from simple mosses and liverworts to towering redwoods. picked by 2manyusernames 2 years ago

More than a month ago, atheists began to blaspheme the existence of God on the popular YouTube network. Today, Christians are turning the tables and taking up the challenge to stand up to their faith in Jesus Christ publicly. Kind of reminds me of the that cliche scene in the movie when one brave person starts a slow clap, a few more join in, and then the crowd starts to realize who the good guy... read full post picked by kellenheller 2 years ago
