Worms and Humans Are One Family

Research proved that the worms and humans have the same origins, at lest their nervous systems do. While it was a fact that they have some common ancestors, yet now it was proved their nervous systems are forming in about the same way. ...

clearly you havent heard of Dr. Mello's nobel winning research on RNAi. as a test subject, he used this transparent worm (I'm currently looking up the name of it) which had many of the organs humans do, which make them excellent test subjects. its true that if we chart out the human evolution, we'd see that one of them would branch out to become what is a worm today. what is our nervous system is probably altered for the modern worm due to the drastic conditions the two live in. you have to remember though, the ancestor wasnt last generation: the two have been changing themselves to adapt to different, yet ever changing conditions for millions upon millions of years.

I have my doubts about the validity of these claims of finding a human brain fossil. I would like to see photos. on the other hand, I do have photos of the real thing, One that my wife and I own. This one is for real. Check it out on You Tube Man with two brains (I was trying to catch attention).
Honestly, I do really have this thing and it is Infiltration nature actual cast pseudo morph, not encrustation and not endocast.

This is wild. When will this end? Where do we draw the line? Soon we'll be genetically modifying humans and having "designer children". Releasing these organisms into the environment is wrong. We've already done it on a mass scale with genetically modified foods. This needs to stop.

This problem is extremely actual. We have to admit that we can't avoid carrying out experiments on animals. Scientists can't find another way of testing drugs that will be later used by people. Yet the number of experimental animals should be strictly established and not exceeded. An experiment shouldn't turn into a slaughter!!!

Caesarian delivery is not the best method of delivery in my opinion. It is known that children born like this have a rather worse immune system than children born in natural conditions... besides, the connection between the mother and the baby that appears once the baby is naturally born is not the same in these conditions... of course, there are cases when it cannot be avoided under certain circumstances, but when the mother simply wants to have a painless delivery... why not try to have a painless AND natural delivery? it depends a lot on the mother's positive attitude, physical form, diet, nervous system and so on...there is a lot of information nowadays about it...

According to Religion, it is acceptable, but God has given us enough Scientific evidence to realize that over time the risk factor rises. If two first cousins married from generation to generation, this would cause a multiplied risk. That is the danger of marrying first cousins. Using common sense, it would be wise to say that marrying a first cousin should only be as a last resort.

Cheers! =D
