Right, which is purely an ethical opinion. A fertilized egg is technically a developing human. That's a scientific fact; the personal ethics determine whether or not one believes it's okay to prevent this egg from developing further.

What the students in the article are doing is fundamentally different, because the existence of evolution is not open to debate, not something one can choose to dislike and opt out of. Particularly in infectious disease, as others have mentioned, it is crucial to understanding medicine.

There's a Doonesbury strip in which a doctor asks his patient, diagnosed with TB, if he's a creationist. When the patient asks why, the doctor explains that he can either treat the TB as it originally was prior to antibiotics, or as the multiple drug resistant strain it's evolved into.

If you don't believe in evolution, you must believe that no infectious diseases have ever evolved, e.g., you believe that MRSA doesn't exist, and that the same flu vaccine can be used every year. And that is not only 100% wrong, but would be fatal to a patient.

I'll just patiently wait here for them to post this proof. *twiddles thumbs*

This is like saying "I'm not a physicist, so if the laws of physics change, I'm not concerned hugely." If you don't live on Earth, then you shouldn't be too concerned about its climate changing, but I'm going to take a wild guess and say you do. This is probably the biggest problem regarding climate change, the idea so many people have that "it won't affect me." Yes. It. Will. No matter how much money you have, you cannot afford a new planet; what humans have done to this one WILL come back to bite all of us in the ass.

I could have picked "no, I do not," but read the question more as "if you run Windows, which version?"

I don't always run Windows, but when I do...I still use the XP that came with this POS. And thank Bob my school switched from Vista to 7 post haste.

I did a science project asking if several small windmills produced more energy than one big windmill. Little did I know the physics were way out of my league...I don't even recall what my amateur conclusion was.

Who starts a band thinking they're going to be millionaires? That's stupid. If someone paid $5 to see me perform, I'd be ecstatic. If they wanted to buy a t-shirt with my band name on it, I'd cry. And if my favorite band wasn't doing so well and had to take day jobs to afford to produce more music, I'd take note and donate a few bucks to keep them going. I'm guessing I'm not alone in that, either. If people don't give a crap if you go bankrupt and never release another song, maybe you're not talented enough to charge $20 for a CD.

Hyperforin is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor. Although it's a weaker one than the synthetic versions on the market, it's still nothing benign to mess with.

That's why placebo-controlled studies exist, bro. People sign a consent form saying they know they'll either get the active drug, which they've been told about--effects, risks, etc.--or they'll get the placebo, and they won't know which one they're getting.

Gingko is food? You ever smelled a ginkgo tree fruit? It may not be medicine, but you won't see ginkgo-flavored ice cream any time soon. ....ok, maybe in Japan.

exactly. i figure the person translating it knew minimal english and just wrote down what they thought they heard.

i have to check those out again--with several i couldn't even figure out what the real line was.
