Basic Scientific Principles.

Quite simply science does not have all the answers. Instead it extrapolates results based off observable and accurate models. Science asks how and why, and therefore is in no shape or form have anything to do with belief systems. They are based off nothing observable and claims made within religions are not repeatable and therefore inapplicable to the natural universe.

Religion is free to exist but is in no position to challenge the facts scientists have discovered. That is quite a malicious form is misinformation. Especially when taught to children. After all, just look at what happened during the Spanish inquisition.

By the way, Atheism is not a religious belief. It is a lack of belief. For example, is atheism was a religion, then you can say off is a tv channel, dead is a lifestyle, not collecting coins is a hobby. if atheism is a religion, then Christians, who must only believe in Christianity, are believers of non-islam, and non-buddhism.

Chemistry week continues. I'm half assing this one, there appears to be only small fragments in my understanding.

Prognosis

Chemistry Week is upon me. Also English Week too I guess. Paerhaps some preparation for Maths week is needed. Quite simply, This will be extremely taxing. Also there is a very low amount of chemistry related images. I promised ten images today. Stupid idea. Tomorrow you get one only.

Such is life

My life recently can be summed up as; work work work and not enough time to finish. Nevertheless, I will finish today. Somehow.

Academia Rambo

Contingency plan starts now. No sleep until physics finished. Note. VIBRATIONS IN WINE GLASSES ARE SEXY.

Imminent failure

Extraordinarily behind on work. And running low on physics images.







And just a note. I have no objections towards ones beliefs as long as they do not spread insidious lies and science fails. Like evangelists or creationists. To them e=mc^2 is e=mc*mc

Knowledge and understanding prevents you from being pulled into the blackhole designed for ignorant fools.

80 pages to do today. I can do it. No doubt about it. At all. Really.





Just so you know, google translator is freaking epic nowadays.

Work is such an unfortunate necessity.

One is not permitted to hold feelings of hate and negativity towards the concept of working. Unless its pointless like being a cashier and earning minimum wage. Then your life just sucks.

The day after yesterday

Its still physics week. Nothing much else to say. 3/14 done. The substantial amount of information needed to be understood in the next 4 weeks is very straining.

Physics week.

Time to study Physics for one week. That's 300 pages and approximately 400 questions in 7 days. I have doubts about the success of this endeavour.

Fact or Fiction?

No pics today kiddos. I feel like exerting my powers of internet to do the following. EDIT: no i have to put pics this looks out of place.








Once again creationists are trying to push their religion into biology as 'Intelligent design'. their argument is that some features of organisms are just so perfect that they must have been designed by someone. Many creationists have only just got over their previous idea that the world was only 6000 years old; they cannot imagine that life on earth began 4.6 billion years ago and that the rules of evolution have been going on since then. Many of the quoted 'scientific' sources used by creationists are not from Biologists who have knowledge of a large range of groups of organisms but from "Dr..." or "Prof..." who is a Physicist or Doctor ot Theologian from an obscure religious college in the US.

Evolution has been shown to occur in thousands of species; rabbits in Australia have evolved because a few had a slight genetic immunity to the Mixomitosis virus. When its introduction, after WWII, changed the environment, most rabbits died but a few that carried accidental beneficial mutations survived and multiplied, passing on their mutations. The rabbits are different genetically from the ones brought here in the 1800's. They have evolved.

Creationists will say that this does not prove that a monkey evolved into a human. Evolution does not say this. Evolution says that about 10 mya, monkeys and humans had a common ancestor with a range of genetic variation. Natural selection has 'chosen' some to survive as environments have changed or our ancestors moved to different environments. Longer and stronger arms were an advantage in forests. Longer legs for walking and more dexterous fingers for collecting seeds are an advantage in grasslands.

The eye is often given as an example of one of these perfect 'intelligent designs', but a large proportion of the worlds population have genetic or early degenerative problems with their eyes. Natural selection has wiped out most of the variations along the way that did not produce a huge advantage for such a delicate investment. Only a few thousand years ago those people with genetic or early degenerative eye problems would have died out because they could not have hunted or gathered food efficiently, or would not have seen predators. The ones with better eyesight would have been more likely to survive, reproduce and pass on their genes. In some environments such as caves there is no advantage having eyes; they are just a liability. Natural selection has 'chosen' some totally blind species to survive.
