A. Well, I know that the concept of plate tectonics is talked about in the Bible, though I have no idea when that specific term was coined. AIDS was discovered in the 80s. Stem cell research (the concept of) I think back in the late 1800s. I think the real progress with it began in the 30s? Look up the first attempted bone marrow transplant. If you dont know when we landed on the moon, I will not tell you. That one is sooo overly simple to look up. So is the first landing on mars (rover).

Q. Why are there Christians that still reject new scientific discoveries because they contradict the Bible? I'm a Catholic, I don't take the Bible literally, but I'm not saying that the Bible shouldn't be believed, but it should be read literally and metaphorically, especially if it contradicts new scientific discoveries, everyday, scientists, doctors, astronomers, etc, are discovering something new, and as we venture into the 21st century and beyond, science will continue to discover something new and advance, the question here is, are we going to reject these new scientific discoveries because they contradict Scripture?

Certainly there are things that are metaphors, alliterations, parable and figures of speech; but I am confident Augustine believed in a literal crucifixion and a literal resurrection from the dead. it is clear from reading the New Testament Jesus believed in literal Adam and Eve; a literal Noah's Flood, a literal Sodom and Gomorrah, a literal great fish that swallowed Jonah and a literal hell of flames.

The discovery of penicillin is arguably one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century.?
Q. The discovery of penicillin is arguably one of the most important scientific discoveries of the 20th century. In the years following this discovery, it was assumed that we had conquered bacterial infections and science moved onto other problems, like combating viral infections. However in recent years there has been a rise in infections caused by antibiotic resistant bacteria. How do bacteria develop antibiotic resistance? How can inappropriate use of antibiotics and other antibacterial products contribute to this problem? What should we do to combat it?
Asked by tigger - Wed Jul 16 12:01:00 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Some bacteria (Gram negative) have membranes outside their cell walls. Since Penicillin works by attacking cell walls, it does not work on these bacteria. Also, over-use of antibiotics created some bacteria that contain Plasmids, which are a small extra Rrna molecule inside the cell. This makes the bacteria antibiotic resistant. It's just survival of the fittest. Bacteria mutated to find ways to survive, just like other species.

A. I think some ancient sea wreckage was uncovered. The science of levees controlling floods was tested and failed. Human nature was exposed and should be studied as to why people reacted or failed to react to the conditions. Storm theories were tested and predictions were studied for errors. Just a few ideas not sure if they will help.

What are some scientific discoveries you find amazing/inspiring/interes ting/whatever?
Q. Okay, I'll level with you here. I've got to write a paper on a piece of literature/musical composition/scientific discovery that I think everyone in my potential freshman honors college class should study, and what I think they would gain from it, and I'm quite frankly drawing a blank. Plenty of you are more educated than I, so I'm looking to you for inspiration. All I need is something to write my paper about, you don't even need to elaborate. I greatly appreciate any helpful answers I may get.

A. Probably the biggest of all discoveries has been the discovery of Nano-science and its offshoot Nanotechnology. Few technologies have been able to affect the way we live in such a big way. Want an example? Consider this: The cross-section of a single human hair is approximately 50-80,000 nano meters. Electronics is currently engaged in making transistors that are around 30-70 nanometers in size. The Intel Core 2 Quad uses transistors that are 50 nanometers across. The effect? Look at the communications boom we've seen over the past 20 years. The prime mover has been the amount of computing power we can pack into a simple square inch of chip. This is the effect of nanotech in only one sector - electronics. Similarly, Nanotech has… [cont.]

A. There is so much junk science that a protocol has developed to deliver reliable, truthful science news (which does not always work) Science institutions (the government, universities, research labs, etc.) do not publicize incremental or unverified findings. When things have progressed far enough on a line of research or discovery and has been repeated or verified, then an announcement can be made. The facts of such announcements are often obscure and incomprehensible, so the emphasis is on the implications - what the discovery or research means to peoples lives, or if not relevant there, then the implications to common understanding and conventional wisdom. And of course, information on where we go from here. So there can be a lot of… [cont.]

Asked by Helping Hand IT - Sat Apr 1 10:31:31 2006 - - 10 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Because it hasn't been till very recently when women were allowed to learn anything in those types of fields. There are still more men than women in the scientific industry, in another 100 years or less the list you gave should include a lot more women. Remember, women were barely allowed to go to college when my grandmother was of age (I'm 24). Even then, they were expected to go to college to find a man, not a career. We are just now starting to see the the first generations of women who have proper educations. You could have asked the same only change women to African Americans, it's not because either group is less intelligent. It's because they have been suppressed from that line of work until very recently.

Would women have made more scientific discoveries than men if they were given equal rights earlier?

What Scientific Discoveries would you have to hide or reject to protect your career?
Q. Given the propensity for governments & universities to insist upon political correctness, what politically incorrect information/data would you have to hide to keep from being ostracized by those in your field insisting on the status quo? I'd think the people that discovered neanderthal genes in the sapien genome are walking on egg shells because some of these genes are associated with cognitive development. Imagine the uproar if some gene is found to give some group an advantage or disadvantage over others!

A. I have always believed in the theory of evolution, and as a sixth grade teacher, I taught a short unit on our hominid ancestors. Sixth graders need to get out of their seats, so I had them do the hominid 5 million year dance: stand up,mimic hitting two rocks together(tools), mimic starting a fire, and leave Africa(circle desk and sit back down). I was always afraid some parent would come in and complain so I always said,"Scientists believe..." What I did hide for over 30 years was that I am an agnostic.

A. The evidence for evolution is overwhelming. More is found every year. DNA which is the chemistry of reproduction is a clear reason why it works as Darwin suggested. There is ZERO evidence of creationism. In every case I know of the Strobel arguments are either based on non-facts, or complete misstatements of what is known. It is fair to question scientific theory. that is what scientists do. Evolution theory explains what is observed, and makes specific predictions about what should be expected. Evolution does not explain the origin of life. that is still being studied.

In their search they were warned to switch topics by their bosses.

What were the main scientific discoveries and ideas of Carl Linnaeus?
Q. Please don't just give a link to wikipedia or to some biography on his life, I only need main points / a summary of what he discovered as a scientist thanks
Asked by x-unique-x - Thu Sep 11 13:24:28 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Well, Linnaeus' chief contribution to biology was what scientists call "taxonomy", that is, the discipline of classifying and naming organisms. He made his career as a physician, botanist, and zoologist. Not only did he devise the "binomial nomenclature"system of taxonomy that is used in biology today ---he was once quoted as saying "God creates, I organize"--- he was also the founding father of modern-day ecology. I think some links to the Wikipedia article on Linnaeus could prove helpful, therefore I'm going to include them.
