"Close enough", what according to you? What's funny is that creationists seem to think that a couple exceptionally preserved fossils = evolution is wrong. 😆 Some organisms visually change more than others. 100s of millions of years "the same" isn't really the same in the sense that a species...

Because the vaccines focus the immune system on the spike protein, the effect of the mutations is reduced because the immune system will target parts of the spike protein that do not or cannot change very much. In a natural infection the immune system will target all kinds of things. Also the...

There's a strong bias in today's culture that "natural" is always better. The problem is, the virus contains many proteins, some of which are useless as far as the immune system targeting the virus. The vaccines produce a single protein which allows the immune system to laser focus on the...

From further looking: "A scientific name has two components: a genus and a species name. The beetle needed a new genus name because it didn’t fit into any existing frog-legged leaf beetle genera. Krell chose the name Pulchritudo, which is Latin for “beauty.”" So, no. NOT identical. Source...

Show me the identical beetles when this one was given its own name. Stating "there's no such thing as" doesn't make it true.

It would not look like that if it was squashed "yesterday" you'd still have the exoskeleton intact (and fully colored) rather than fused into the rock. Stuff I find in my pool trap does not look like that fossil. Perhaps you all were confused by the digital reconstruction? Also, in the grand...

Sad for his family, but urging people to not get vaccinated is just going to get more people killed. Get vaccinated or get COVID and possibly die/use hospital space for actually sick people.

Evolution is a well supported scientific idea attested by a wide variety of scientific data and Jesus Christ is a singular figure in human history with strong evidence of being different from every other person that has ever lived. His death burial and resurrection are unique and leads me to...

Anyone know anything about this group: https://www.holyspiritspeaks.org/ ? They showed up as a youtube ad, something about God's name changing? Seems to be out of China. English was hilariously overdubbed what was clearly filmed in another language, so much I thought it was a joke. It's...

Trump supporters do not like criticism, even if it's not direct criticism, or really criticism at all. The ad simply shows the relatively accurate historical roots of the original Anheuser-Busch brewers. There was anti-german immigrant sentiment at the time, and anti-immigrant protests. People...

A french canadian and known internet troll, and Trump supporter. Inspired by French nationalist leader Marine Le Pen, Bissonnette began clashing with others online by attacking refugees and writing of his support for Le Pen and Trump, according to the Globe and Mail. source Fox news spread...

So Trump has revealed the unmitigated evil of his presidency (guessing primarily Steve Bannon's advice). Starting with the unconstitutional interpretation of Trump's executive order (against green card holders) which was announced on Holocaust remembrance day as well as not mentioning Jews in...

This is the third straight year of record warmth. Also global sea ice extent is the lowest on record. CO2 is also continuing to climb. And fyi, solar output is down. But hey we have a nominee for the EPA that doesn't want to tell us what his position is on climate change!

The Tea party: It's all about the deficit and debt! Until Republicans get into power, then it's Repeal the ACA, Build the wall (but have US taxpayers pay for it). Of course the same thing happened under George W and Reagan. Mind you the recession Obama had to deal with was far worse than the...

Unusual for a woman to do this but then, she was apparently very protective of her gun rights. Police in Fort Bend County said that 42-year-old Christy Sheats was shot by officers after they arrived at her home in response to a series of 911 calls. When they arrived, they found two women lying...

It's still getting hotter after 2015 was the hottest year on record by a large margin. We've seen huge areas of the great barrier reef corals bleach as ocean temperatures rise. Odds are good that many of these now white corals will die since they lack the photosynthetic symbiotes that provide...

Let's see how the posters explain this one. A case has been taken by SCOTUS. Cases showing that prosecutors intentionally strike potential black jurors, because they are black. So you end up with Black defendants in majority black cities with juries that are either all white or nearly so. The...

What is the "race problem"? The disproportionate outcomes in the United States of people from different racial groups. Higher incarceration rates, higher rates of poverty, lower rates of educational attainment. Etc. More breakdown on incarceration rates Poverty Rates Higher Unemployment...

Quite a few large mining and other multinational corporations have called for a climate agreement at the meeting in Paris later this year. A new climate agreement in Paris can help strengthen the role of, and minimize risks to, the private sector in a number of ways: Providing Long-Term...

It seems the Exxon knew the dangers of their product's waste (CO2 emissions) back in the 1980s. In an internal September 1982 document, Exxon scientists summarized the expert consensus on human-caused global warming, and the consistency of their own research with that expert consensus. The...
