Scientists must venture outside their comfort zones to show the public how cool - and how important - their work really is.

I believe God did intend, in giving us intelligence, to give us the opportunity to investigate and appreciate the wonders of His creation. He is not threatened by our scientific adventures.

The best diet is the one that can be sustained over the long term, combined with other healthful lifestyle behaviors.

Proponents of intelligent design don't accept that some of the very complex nanomachines that we have inside ourselves could have come about solely on the basis of natural selection.
