    Kid with rare AB blood type faces imminent death unless someone donates a lung.

    Unfortunately, the part about so few people becoming donors is true. More would no doubt do this, but there's a TON of misconceptions going around (like "docs will just give you up, for dead, to harvest your organs if you get sick.") I believe most of the problems with organ shortages would...

    Thanks. In the meantime, if you want to help a (totally unrelated) kid who will soon die unless he gets a live donor with AB blood type, see this thread.. :(

    Kid with rare AB blood type faces imminent death unless someone donates a lung.

    Okay, the deal is that someone I just read about on the Internet (originally from Medford, OR) is dying of the same illness I have. His lungs are so bad, and the prospects for finding a dead donor so slim, that the docs have basically given up unless two live donors with the same bloodtype (AB*)...

    Newly-identified cat pseudogene (for tasting sweets)

    What's this about shaved pussies, now?

    Newly-identified cat pseudogene (for tasting sweets)

    That's some pretty impressive hopped-up ultra-evolution, capable of modifying your "basic cat" into lions, tigers, cheetahs, panthers, and wild cats alike, and in just the few hundred years that written history leaves for such modification after the Flood before all those species are recorded as...

    Newly-identified cat pseudogene (for tasting sweets)

    This mutation demonstrates that cats share a common ancestor, not that mutations can be useful, so trying to object on that basis would totally miss the point, z3ro. But to be fair, that wouldn't be the first time creationists missed one. :)

    Newly-identified cat pseudogene (for tasting sweets)

    So, any creationists willing to explain this one? Did God take the "basic cat" template, decide they didn't need the ability to taste sugar, and then crippled the gene for it across all cats in the same way (which eerily resembles how it could get crippled by a mutation)? Or did this gene become...

    Universal health care push being revived.

    As someone who has seen, first-hand, just how messed up our current health coverage system is (see sig), I applaud any move in the right direction, towards a system where money would not be the decisive factor in whether people could receive life-saving medical treatment.

    Tennessee town celebrates 80th anniversary of Scopes Trial as evolution debate rages.

    One must be careful to distinguish ID as a metaphysical notion, which is unscientific, a religious belief, and rightly belongs in philosophy class, if at all, with "intelligent design" the organized pseudoscientific babble, which has nonsense like "irreducible complexity" and other central...

    AIDS Patient Wins in McDonald's Case

    Far better to pay a few cents less for a burger than for the sick to have freedom from arbitrary life-threatening layoffs, eh? I'm sad to say this, but atheists like you make me weep for humanity far more, as you don't have the excuse of just following religiously-motivated firebrands, or...

    Winace moves on with this thing called "normal life"

    Whatever. I won't need them where I'll be going, anyway.

    Winace moves on with this thing called "normal life"

    I'll let a much eloquent poet than I answer that. "The pearly treasures of the sea, The lights that spatter heaven above, More precious than these wonders are My heart-of-hearts filled with your love. The ocean's power, the heavenly sights Cannot outweigh a love filled heart. And...

    Hmm…

    Ah, what the heck. Happy birthday, Brimshack! And now, I must scurry off into my self-imposed exile again.

    Help in pulmonology- not for the weak of stomach

    This might be serious. Are you comparatively thin, short or young-looking for your age? Do you ever have difficulty digesting certain foods, like high-fat pork products? And this may sound like a bizarre question, but has anyone ever told you your skin tastes salty (i.e., from kissing the...

    Methodist Court Rules on Homosexuality

    Just wondering, are you out there condemning remarriage after a divorce? Leviticus 18:10 "If there is a man who commits adultery with another man's wife, one who commits adultery with his friend's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death." Take note that this is...

    Bush administration is arguing that it has the right to lock up U.S. citizens forever

    Real slick explanation... Quite a masterpiece of "innocently phrased" under-the-radar flame. I commend your brinkmanship skills, sir. Anyway, I dislike the very idea of racial profiling. There's reason to be wary of any person under some circumstances. I would not be more reassured of a...
