Have you ever imagined what the future would be like? Here
is a hint as to what the latest discoveries will unfold within our lifetime.
Unfortunately, we also found some unlikely stories about the past that try to
make the advances of scientific development a kind of joke. Read on!
1. Last year, personalized embryonic stem cells became
experimentally more viable with the successes made by the Oregon Health and
Science University in cloning human embryos and collecting stem cells from
them. Using those derived cells, they were able to produce cells into
specialized cells usable for the skin or heart. This will allow doctors in the
future to use such cells to generate entire organs or parts of them for
transplant procedures.
Cut off your finger with a knife or lost an eye in an
accident? A replacement can be generated, perhaps, in a matter of days or
weeks, perhaps, using your own body as the source of original cells to produce
cloned body parts since they claim that they may be able to generate such cells
without using embryos. It is like real-life imitating fiction. Exciting but a
bit scary and reminiscent of Frankenstein.
2. Was there water on Mars? Well, if NASA has it right,
there might have been. Or wasn’t there? NASA’ Curiosity rover allegedly found a
lake on the red planet which “could have supported” life more than three
billion years ago. But the conclusion appears to be a big leap of faith, so to
speak, for researchers to claim. Just because there is water does not mean
there could have been life on Mars. Comets, perhaps hundreds or thousands of
them. are basically made of ice and where they got that water somewhere in
outer space would lead us to suppose that there is a lot of life out there. So
far, we seem to be alone.
Besides, where is all that supposed lake water now? Could
that lake have been formed by some other liquid or fluid, more volatile than
water, such as methane, ammonia or some kind of mineral-based acid? Or could
that lake have been merely a crater formed by an asteroid like many
meteor-formed lakes we have on our planet?
In fact, the photo has all the evidences of a crater formed
from a ballistic impact of a meteor rather than a lake that once held water.
Notice the exact center where the tell-tale rebound of rock materials formed a
small peak. Remember the popular slow-mo drop of water rebounding out? That is
what happens with a meteor impact on solid ground. It forms a small peak on the
center from the debris that are is thrown upward. A more exacting scientific
inquiry and not speculations should be made before coming out with such
“desperate” conclusions.
This piece of news is far from being a vindication of NASA.
We need more proof of life — intelligent, if possible — to make us applaud.
Even a college student will see through this unfounded claim.
3. A skull discovered in the Republic of Georgia apparently
showed more ancient and more recent human characteristics. Evolutionists would
feel confounded by this news as it would disrupt there belief that there was
progression in the development of the Homo Sapiens species that we are. The
conclusion the scientists reached, rather conveniently, was that more archaic
humans apparently mated with the more advanced Homo Erectus or the first
primitive erect humans before our “species” emerged.
Now this might be a rather surprising admission; but it is
again a desperate and illogical hypothesis that throws cold water on the whole
Theory of Evolution. It is basically saying that because some fossils show
mixtures of pre-evolved and post-evolved characteristics then it could have
only been the result of the reproduction of the two. But that is exactly like
saying that a “zebronkey” – a mutant zebra that had features of a zebra and a
donkey documented in Manila back in the 1970’s – was the product of the mating
of a zebra and a donkey.
Again, it seems evolutionary scientific research has a lot
of credibility check it has to undergo before we can accept its farfetched
conclusions. Besides, a single toe bone does not a whole human being or
so-called whole humanoid. With such sparse evidence, we wonder how scientists
could confidently brag about their “latest discoveries”.
There are, to be sure, legitimate and amazing scientific
discoveries out there; but these few we found online seem to be more like press
release materials for fund-raising purposes rather than acceptable results of
serious scientific inquiry.
