Holes in the Universe: Black or Naked?

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Many have heard of so-called black holes which are collapsed giant stars so massive that an “event horizon” surrounding it prevents light or anything else from escape—hence the name black hole. But the universe might also a harbor a sibling of the black hole, “naked singularities,” which also are created from massive stars but are visible.

In recent years the speculation of 96% of our universe is missing dark matter and dark energy, along side an infinite number of parallel universes, and the 4% of the stuff we know about has 7 hidden dimensions seem like bad science fiction. (more…)

Richard Dawkins Atheist Preaching False Gospels

Friday, January 23rd, 2009

Dawkins strikes again. Continuing to preach from the false gospel of materialism, Dawkins continues his atheist attack on religion and spirituality. I find it the ultimate in reckless, unscientific behavior to make assertions such as his God Delusion. The audaciousness to dismiss religion and spirituality with no evidence is beyond comprehension. Yet, because of the rifts between science and spirituality and between religions Dawkins spreads his gospel. Let us focus on commonality not on devisive, petty triviality Dawkins style.

Scientific Dogma Sticks like Epoxy

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

New ideas are rejected by the “old guard” scientists protecting their dogma and beliefs. The dogma of materialism is centuries old but still adhered to by scientists such as Richard Dawkins.

Disease and Wellness: More than genes making proteins

Monday, January 19th, 2009

For decades the holy grail of molecular biology was to find the DNA sequence of humans. In each of our cells nearly 3 billion bits of DNA are assembled in a unique order which literally defines us. In 2004, at a cost of several billions of dollars the human genome, the precise DNA human sequence (a composite from several individuals) was revealed. The dream was that knowing the DNA sequence that produces human proteins would allow the unraveling of most of the mysteries of disease states. But life is much more complex. Our DNA produces massive quantities of various small particles a hundredth the size of proteins called RNAi’s-mere dust compared to proteins. These “dust” entities may hold secrets to heart disease, cancer, and wellness.

RNAi’s were discovered only a decade ago in a lowly worm. Now it seems to be critical in all plants and animals. I was fortunate to have my research staff involved in some early work in this field. (more…)
