Quotes from Scientists Regarding
*Design* of the Universe
Science is leading us back down the
road of design - not from a lack of scientific
explanation, but from scientific explanation
that requires an appeal to the extremely
unlikely - something that science does not
deal well with. As a result of the recent
evidence in support of design, many scientists
now believe in God.

Heaven's Gate, 10 Years After
Jesus was an alien, our bodies were
just "vessels" holding spirits ready to
ascend to an approaching spaceship hiding
behind a comet, and 39 suicides in the name

but it happened 10 years ago today.

Young Students Benefit from Focus
on Reading
A solid foundation in reading is a base
for better school performance across academic
disciplines and across grade levels. Successful
reading skills, acquired at an early age,
promote better overall school performance.

be success in science, social studies, mathematics,
health or any other discipline.

Either this thing is a hoax, which it
could be, but i have heard first hand accounts

or there is more to this prayer stuff that
science has yet to discover. Either way,
we can't totally discount it.

WORST SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT WINS
GRAND AWARD!!!
I'm sorry, but I just have to get this
out. Here is the abstract from a kid who
won 1st place in the computers section and
grand award at the High-School Houston Science
Fair. In my opinion, this isn't even a project,
and is just stating the obvious. It shouldn't
even be labled a "computer" project and
certainly should not be labled the best.

"Science"
I sit in an office for a good nine hours
every day, and we have an open floor plan.
That's right, no cubicles, no privacy whatsoever.
It's inevitable that in any of my nine hour
sittings, I'll hear no less than ten sneezes.Is

Who's More Evil: Scientists or Hitler?
Scientists of course. As I investigate

can’t help but see an ugly pattern emerge.
There seems to be a major contradiction

me since Darwin’s Theory of Evolution
was shoved down my throat in freshman biology.
As I advanced in my science classes......
