It seems to me that life is simply a matter of good chemistry. We understand biochemistry intimately but there are still mysteries to unravel. But can we get to the point where we can cheat death altogether? We’ve seen it some extent in movies where a computer diagnoses an early tumor and...

I’m sitting in a Coffee shop reading some mathematics and physics - which is why I posted the Three body problem in the math forum. IAE, sitting nearby are a man and woman studying the Bible - not sure if they are a couple.They are discussing what constitutes the promised land under the Bible...

Is the three body truly unsolvable? Despite centuries of advances in mathematics a direct general solution to the problem of three bodies orbiting each other has yet to be solved. We have found numerous solutions to particular periodic orbits, but not generally in terms of all possible orbits...

Well, for the US. What’s your prayer for the US? Dear Lord Baby Jesus, or as our brothers in the South call you: 'Hey-suz'. Please save me from your followers.

The Virgo Cluster of Galaxies is one of the most widely studied Galaxy clusters. We are really part of it, although in the outer burbs. It is almost 54 million light years away from us. M87, on the right side of this picture is the largest and central galaxy. This is where the famous black...

So John Stewart had a long diatribe last night about AI and how it will destroy jobs. He then had as his guest, the chair of the FTC, Lina Khan talking about antitrust and AI. While antitrust issues are not at the top of the agenda for most people and their relationship with AI is even...

Saw this on Facebook by a trumper. Ah ha!

https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/524/3/3385/7221343 So this model, and it is still controversial, basically argues that JWST observations of the early universe show too many galaxies already formed and operating 300 million years after the Big Bang. This contradicts galaxy formation...

The Problem with the Problem of Evil The problem of evil has been around for thousands of years and generated much discussion. There is a lot that I do like about it. Frankly theists don’t have many good arguments against it. That being said, I did not lose my faith because of it even though I...

So there is a lot of right wing chatter about executing Biden on the right. The following articles show the levels have gotten out of control. Here’s one of Michele Morrow, GOP nominee to run North Carolina public schools called for violence against Democrats, including executing Obama and...

Sad. Farewell.

So Lee Strobel is coming to our community to speak. It will be at our Public library, but hosted by our local Presbyterian Church. It’s Saturday, March 2, evening. What is a good question I can ask to stump him?

Well, she turned me into a newt . . . I got better.

These people worship him like Jesus. He’s being sacrificed for their sins. But not mine apparently. I went to Trump’s Facebook page to read the comments. Here is a small sample: I’d like to hear some serious psychoanalysis of these people. But in the end, he’s just picking up people...

Ok. He won. No shit. But it wasn’t a 70 or 80% win. Merely 51.47%. Hmmm. I would’ve thought it would’ve been a lot more. Not exactly an encouraging endorsement. Makes me wonder if a Lynn Cheney run might be worth a shot.
