FILTER RESULTS ►Party Animal Banned from Drinking Tells Judge to Jail Him Instead

College Football's 25 Most Explosive Offensive Players for 2013
Football used to be a war of attrition, a 12-play-per-drive slug-fest where only the strongest could survive. It was grind-it-out or get-it-out, a sport that Charles Darwin, had he seen it, would have probably cited in The Origin of Species. Show More Summary
How Darwin helped invent the idea of aliens
The 19th century was still trying to wrap its head around the theory of evolution when a group of scientists decided to up the ante and declare that the universe was teeming with “ultra-terrestrial” life. Read more...
Random Social Evolution or Money Talking?

Thoughts on New Gene Origination
The other day, I wrote a damning critique of Darwin's theory and offered nothing in the way of a positive alternative to the traditional view of accumulated-point-mutations as a driving force for evolution. It's easy to take potshots at someone else's theory and walk away. Show More Summary

A Scientist And A Gentleman
Charles Darwin, notes David Askew in a review of Paul Johnson’s Darwin: Portrait of a Genius, was not insensitive to the mores of his time: Darwin’s mechanism [of natural selection] was self-regulating: it could explain the birth of new and the death of old species without having to turn to supernatural causes.

The Trouble with Darwin
As a biologist, I find Darwin's theory hugely disappointing. It's better than the alternative (which is to believe in magic, basically), but not by much, sadly.
