Science Mag has released a list of 100 scientific questions that we want answers to. You can also view short essays on the top 25 questions here. Many of the questions would address Creation Scientists common talking points (eg. planet formation) but amazingly for a science mag, it continues the myth of 1.2% genetic difference between chimps and humans. (It is more like 5%) and about 'junk dna'
Coyotes and wolves are breeding into a new hybrid. If they can interbreed, why are they still considered seperate species?
Are we headed for a scientific dark age? A scientist studying innovation has researched its decline and seems to think so. (And no...it has nothing to do with teaching creation or ID in the class room)
Scientists have created great new lenses to plaster to your eyes to help you see better. Bet you didn't see that one coming?

You are thinking that species are separate, reified things, like plates in your cupboard. They are more like chocolate chip cookie dough. Usually you put them far apart on the sheet before you cook them, so they stay nicely separated. But when you put 2 or 3 close together they melt and run into one another. And if you just put all the dough into a pie plate and half cook it, you get an undiferentiated gooey mass, not unlike the bacteria. Promiscuous, DNA swapping, little tarts!
