A large fraction of the carbon dioxide added to the atmosphere by human activity enters the sea, causing ocean acidification. We show that otoliths (aragonite ear bones) of young fish grown under high CO2 (low pH) conditions are larger than normal, contrary to expectation. We hypothesize that CO2 moves freely through the epithelium around the otoliths in young fish, accelerating otolith growth while the local pH is controlled. This is the converse of the effect commonly reported for structural biominerals.

Researchers discover new fluorescent silicon nanoparticles
Researchers in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Leicester have developed a new synthesis method, which has led them to the discovery of fluorescent silicon nanoparticles and may ultimately help track the uptake of drugs by the body’s cells.

Now that we have 6.7 Billion people on the planet…It would seem that genetic evolution would be taking place in many parts of the world; however, humans are still humans.
Don’t you think it would seem more honorable for the Darwinist to just admit that Darwinian Evolution is really a myth. After a sample fo 6.7 Billion people, they can’t even come up with a single example.
When a change takes place to a DNA sequence, the net result is always a loss of information. A DNA sequence never gains information which is needed in order for change to take place in a species and become another. A net loss of information actually results in a weaker organism.
If anything, macro evolution as a blind process is lacking any real degree of evidence; rather, the DNA sequence is devolving rather than evolving.

Now ZDENNY, I think that you are really out of focus here with your comment.
There are many places where you can display your ignorance, using the comments of this blog wouldn’t get you anything else that more laughters.
You are biology-ignorant, OK, that’s clear enough and I wouldn’t try to educate you, you really should get a few textbooks and read them. Knowledge may be faith challenging but it’s a much better alternative. Try it some day, it may be a good surprise for you.
Please, try to keep your comments related to the posts where you place them, as the one on Intelligent Design. Else I may be tempted to just spam them.
They are visible at the right column anyway, at the Recent Comments section.
I should have trash the one below, but you aren’t familiar with the blog and the blogger, so I’ll be cool for this one. Not for the next one.
