 As a biologist, I can come up with a reasonable scenario to explain evolution of particular traits seen in lifeforms. But I have only been able to imagine how things could have come into being when they are macroscopic. Microscopically, I and most of the scientific community can offer no explanations as to how certain life molecules and structures came into being. I'm referring to such things as DNA, RNA, ribosomes, histones, flagella, viruses, mitochondria.

I came across a video of someone who used the metamorphosis of the Monarch Butterfly to show that a creator must have designed this lovely creature. It as a very compelling presentation but when I started imagining a more conventional explanation, I knew that my faith in Darwinism (macroscopically) was restored. This is what I ...

I think women are told that it's an overactive bladder. I asked Goggle's Gemini to write a report on the latest findings. It spewed out an excellent report in a few minutes. What it told me was that "contemporary research has firmly established nocturia as a distinct clinical entity with a diverse range of underlying causes extending beyond the urological system . " The full report follows. Read it all because nocturia is associated with higher overall mortality.: Modern Theories Concerning the Cause(s) of Nocturia Nocturia, characterized by the need to wake during the night to urinate, is a prevalent condition affecting individuals across all age spectra, with its frequency tending to increase with advancing years. 1 This seemingly benign symptom can significantly impair an individual...
