OH MY GOD, IT’S FULL OF STARS

Globular Clusters
A spherical collection of stars that orbits a galactic core as a satellite. Globular clusters are very tightly bound by gravity, which gives them their spherical shapes and relatively high stellar densities toward their centers. The name of this category of star cluster is derived from the Latin globulus—a small sphere. A globular cluster is sometimes known more simply as a globular.
New Genetic Circuit Detects Cancerous Cells and Forces Them To Commit Suicide
—via spacetimecontinumm:progressivefriends
A new DNA-based logic circuit can sense the signs of cancer, compute that a cell is cancerous, and then cause it to self-destruct, researchers say. The cell-level diagnostic system could be used for drug screening or perhaps for disease treatment, killing tumors while leaving healthy cells alone.
In principle, the circuit works like any other logic circuit: It analyzes multiple inputs and makes a decision. In this case, the circuit really consists of genes that can detect up to five cancer-specific molecules and their concentrations. When all five of those characteristics are present, the circuit makes a positive determination, and then it triggers cell death.
Why Atheism Is Wrong
vruz: FEAR is logical. FEAR of god shouldn’t be questioned. FEAR is what motivates us. be very FEARFUL, live a life in FEAR or you may face horrible consequences when your loving Kim Jong-Il of the sky decides to punish you!
F.E.A.R. IS THE ONLY LOGICAL, SMART, BALANCED, REASONABLE DECISION FOR YOUR ENTIRE LIFE.
gimme a break…

The smart person reasons with both sides of the coin on the chance there may or may not be heads or tails and makes an effort to compromise with the outcome of both sides of the coins entailing effects. This is how it is with God. See the atheists they say they know there is no God. It is more logical to assume there is one and live life fearing it while abiding by it’s moral code then to assume there is not one and be immoral. It’s like a fifty fifty shot. You can either accept there is a God and do what it wants or you can persist in the delusional science crap that it’s all numbers and logistics and that we have no purpose and then if the God does turn out to exist (which He does) then you get punished so all along you were being stupid and not smart like you thought you were.
