Religion / Science

There's an excellent article from Jerry Coyne - American biologist - about the futile attemps to reconcile science and religion. Apart from it being spectacular show of logic and common sense, the greatest part is the discussion afterwards. Particulary Sam Harris (i would marry him if he was a chick) has a great piece of satire. 

Can a biologist harbor any educated doubts about the Virgin birth of Jesus? No—because human parthenogenesis has nothing whatsoever to do with biology. Can a physicist form an educated opinion about the likelihood of the Ascension? How could he? Bodily translocation into the sky does not require any interaction with the forces of nature. Can either a biologist or a physicist realistically doubt the coming Resurrection of the Dead? Many have tried—all have failed. (Please understand that any mention of "entropy" in this context is mere posturing.)

Good news from space

I'm a big eater of sweats - candies, cookies, desserts, sweet-and-sour chinese pork - you name it. That's why i cheer to the great news of today - sugar is found in space! Now if decide to leave this planet, i'm sure i can have my dose of sugar even in the outer space.

P.S. Is it just me, or the drawing of the glycolaldehyde molecule looks a bit like giraffe?
