rainforest flowers
There are thousands of rainforest flowers species. The rainforest has more flowers growing in it than anywhere on earth. Many of the rainforest flowers can be grown at home or anywhere in the world and they are not dependent upon the climate of the rainforest for growth.

Mystery: Huge Death Valley Rocks Slide/Move On Own
Scientists baffled by rocks (some 100s of pounds) apparently moving, sliding on own across "almost perfectly flat" & dry desert area called, Racetrack Playa. No one has seen movement but long visible trails left behind. Number of theories, based on unique nature of desert surface, wind, etc. [Piece includes photos.]

Ego traps us in costly, losing battles, study finds
The study consisted of four experiments on college students. In each, the participants received some cash, and an opportunity to gamble or play it in games of skill or luck. These games were mostly losing propositions, by design.
Advanced Nuclear Reactors - Why you are wrong to oppose..
Generations I and II were built by the military - for the military - with the single aim of producing plutonium for nuclear weapons.. We are now in the stage of going from advanced gen III to gen IV, something the public is entirely misinformed about..

Evolution does not fit as well with the facts of science
The Evolutionary model says that it is not necessary to assume the existence of anything, besides matter and energy, to produce life. We know perfectly well that if you leave matter to itself, it does not organize itself. Darwinism has never had much appeal for science outside of the English-speaking world.
