Acid Bit

By Rachel Yoshida

 Criminals will go to almost any lengths to cover their tracks when they commit a crime that will send them to jail. Starting a fire deliberately will send them to jail also, but sometimes the act they committed will be worse than a fire. People have been using fire to destroy evidence and cover up crimes for hundreds of years or longer and probably at the top of the list is murder.

These days some criminals have learned the hard way that using fire to cover up a crime might not be as easy as it used to be. There have been so many new techniques developed to bring the truth straight out of the ashes. It should make any law breaker afraid of relying on a fire to get away with anything.

In the first place, a criminal will sometimes use some sort of accelerant to start the fire and it is easy for fire investigators to spot this today. They might also use a lighter or matches, but when they use accelerants to start the fire it is a more reliable way to ensure the fire will burn longer and hotter than using other methods. Trained dogs can be used to sniff out accelerants like gasoline, charcoal starter, or other flammable liquids that a criminal might use.

Murderers make the mistake of thinking that a fire can destroy a human body to the point that it can not be identified, but dental records or any trace of DNA can still be use for identification. A murderer might also think that a fire will cover up the cause of a death, but that is not necessarily true either. If there is any usable remains left, many times a coroner will be able to find the cause of death especially if a poison or sever trauma to the body was used.

So actually, when it comes to using fires to cover up crimes today, there is a very good possibility that someone will still be caught and prosecuted for their crime. It is no sure bet that a fire will destroy all evidence that can the guilt of someone or the actual facts of a case. If someone wants to get away with something, they might want to look for an alternative to setting fire to the scene because it is no where near as reliable as it once was.

It’s the End of the World As We Know It
By Patrick Omari

 Wednesday the 10th of September could be the last day in the history of the World, which wouldn’t be very convenient for those with travel plans at the weekend. What could cause the end of the world; a meteor strike? A mass tsunami? Or something man made? Something mechanical in the good name of ’science’ perhaps.

It could either be the end of the world or the start for a great period of scientific discovery in one of the most highly debated areas.

Fears are building as quick as protests can be mustered as scientists in Geneva at the European laboratory for particle physics (CERN) prepare to switch on its Large Hedron Collider. If the fears are held true we will all vanish into a black hole as the Earth and the solar system cease to exist. In this dimension at least.

While many are opposed to the experiment and fear it means the end, the physicists and scientists all agree that the collider is perfectly harmless and the chances of destroying the Earth through the experiment are infinitesimally small. CERN, who have been building the collider since 2003, have dismissed the risk of micro black holes and quasars being created by the experiment.

The idea is to gain a greater understanding of the Big Bang and the Universe as the Large Hedron Collider will explore the tiniest particles and come closer to re-enacting the Big Bang. The LHC will smash two beams of particles head-on at speeds close to the speed of light and scientists hope to see new particles in the debris of the collisions.

Proton beams - nuclei - will spin 11,000 times a second around the 17 -mile tunnel, nestled under 150-500 feet of earth on the French-Swiss border. Once a beam has been successfully fired counter-clockwise a clockwise test will follow before the scientists will aim the beams at each other so that the protons collide. Enough energy will be created to recreate conditions that existed one trillionth of a second after the Big Bang.

The energy will liberate thousands of quarks and gluons, normally imprisoned in the proton beams, which will then form the quark-gloun plasma. The plasma then cools and the quarks and gluons stick together forming protons and neutrons, the building blocks of matter and thus enabling scientists a greater understanding of the creation and makeup of matter.

The size of the tunnel and superconducting magnets give a hint but the size of this project is a monster in itself, black hole or no black hole. Researchers of 80 nationalities are involved and the price of the project sits at a cosmically large 5 billion pounds.

The first beams of protons will be fired to test the strength of the superconducting magnets, the largest on Earth, on Wednesday 10th and it will still be almost a month before the beams travelling in opposite directions are bought together in the collisions that so many are worried about.

So worried, in fact, that some protesters have filed suit in the U.S District Court in Hawai and in the European Court of Human Rights in an attempt to stop the project - citing that it incurs upon the basic human right to live.

It’s not just the potential calamity that could ensue that people are protesting over. The cost of the experiment has got a lot of people rattled especially considering the contributions from individual countries. With pressing issues such as climate change, many feel that the funding and research could be better spent.

While it may sound like the readings of an overly complicated science-fiction novel to some, the ideal cure for insomnia to others, a terrifying portent of doom to protesters or a huge waste of money and resources to those remaining nay-sayers, Wednesday’s experiment has certainly fired up a lot of debate before the machine has even been fired up.

Is Darwinian-Style Evolution a Scientific Fact?
By Russ Miller

 The word evolution has many meanings, but only one is testable, repeatable and observable. In other words, only one of the many definitions of the word evolution is a scientific fact.

This observable type of evolution is not Darwinian or Neo-Darwinian evolution. I will discuss that one form of evolution that is validated by real science later in this article.

Darwinian or Neo-Darwinian-style evolution would be one kind of plant or animal changing into a different kind of plant or animal. This has never been observed to have occurred within living plants or animals.

Never!

The fossil record, despite a handful of dubious and fraudulent claims to the contrary, does not support any form of Darwinian evolution either. Darwinian-style change would require that nature be able to add massive amounts of new and beneficial genetic information to already existing gene pools. This would be the addition of the types and amounts of new and beneficial genetic data that would cause one kind of being, let us say a dog, to evolve into a completely different type of creature, such as a pig, for example.

The addition of the required new and beneficial genetic data has proven to be yet another major problem for Darwinian-style change. If Darwinism had actually taken place scientists should have no trouble showing a million easily identifiable examples of nature adding new and beneficial genetic information to pre-existing gene pools.

However, as of this writing, and after literally millions of observed scientific experiments, Darwinists can show no viable example, not even one, of nature adding appreciable amounts of new and beneficial genetic information to a plant or animal gene pool.

Not even one!

The only meaning for the word evolution which actually is testable, repeatable and observable is Micro-evolution. Since the word evolution is generally thought to mean Darwinian-style change, it is best to remove the confusing term and refer to these observable changes as Micro-adaptations. These are simply changes within the same kind of plant or animal. For example, a brown dog giving birth to a yellow puppy.

Micro-adaptation is a dog birthing a dog or a finch hatching a finch, although there can be a wide variation within a particular kind. Dogs will only bring forth after their kind. And finches will only beget finches.

This is what Darwin observed on the Galapagos Islands: finches bringing forth finches displaying some different adaptations, but still fully remaining finches. These are Micro-adaptations, which are kinds bringing forth after their own kind.

This is an observable scientific fact and millions of examples could be shown. It is important for people to understand this because at least ten times in the Book of Genesis we are told that plants and/or animals will bring forth after their kind, and this is exactly what real science proves to be true.

Everyone needs to clearly understand this so they can choose what to believe.
