You used the word "evolve" - I don't think this means what you think it means. Evolving means that positive mutations are occurring that assist these organisms; what is really happening is Natural Selection; where already pr

I think it may be tough if you have not continued to improve yourself. There are some maxims to always follow to prevent yourself from "expiring": Keep learning. 1. Always learn some new hard thing; a language, more math, or go d

No, that is how Natural Selection works, not Evolution. This is a demonstration of natural selection, as the resistance was already resident in the DNA. Natural Selection != Evolution.

I have odds that this will not work out the way they think it will. “They can also be made entirely dependent on synthetic amino acids in their diets, to allay the fear that recoded bacteria could escape from a lab and wreak havoc in the wi

The only time employers (that are worth working for) actually care about your degree at all is if you are being hired as an engineer, a lawyer, or a doctor.

I do not disagree with you at all; however college or school does not necessarily educate you; the education you speak of can be obtained elsewhere these days and much more cheaply. This also is relatively new to the world - the ability to

9 times out of 10...if you did not major in Engineering or Science, Law, or Medicine then you should not be going to college. It is a waste of money and most importantly time.

It is about balance, independence and longevity of the nation. A diverse economy is more able to resist economic challenges of ALL types. It is also able to resist sudden turns in foreign policy (war) and maintains options for such a countr

Yet nowhere has this been "field tested" for any length of time. Unless one makes the case that it has been tested in the form of several countries in the 20th century. Places like the the Soviet Union, China, etc. We see that it

Have you ever tried anything with PhGABA in it? The known good source I have found is Biotest's Z-12. From the experience of others using Melatonin will only last so long before it too stops having a noticeable effect. I used Z-12 fo

So this is the problem with statistics; these statistics apply to the average person. But there is no such thing as an average "real person". For instance MY chances of suicide are zero; and the chances of me being killed by a te

Not being mean here, but purely looked at, these "atypical sexes" are deformities. I don't think it is accurate to call them anything else.

The U.S certainly did pull punches almost the entire war. The Line Backer II operation, which removed those restrictions, force the NV to the table and they were ready to sue for surrender terms...but amazingly the U..S would not let them.

The problem here is that not all diseases are the same in terms of risk to health/life or even the ability to infect others. Comparing Smallpox to Polio to the Measles in equal terms is a stretch at best and probably closer to being di

Yes, I think "Toughen the cells" as you said is the right way of distilling this article; also note that subjecting yourself to periods of high heat or cold can produce a similar response. The mechanism, in part, is thought to be
