You can pretty much suss out that men and women are different with your experience and eyeballs. Throughout human history, men and women have looked, acted, and operated far differently from each other while still managing to be two sides of the same coin. Yet, despite this being common sense and backed by thousands of years of scientific study, modern politicization has made mainstream culture believe that the two are interchangeable.The “follow the science” crowd that scoffed and screamed about non-scientific things such as masks, vaccines, and the church of climate change, seem to be wholly willing to ignore science...

Acclaimed geneticist William French Anderson was sentenced Friday to 14 years in prison for molesting an employee's daughter who took martial arts classes at his home. Before sentencing, Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael E. Pastor noted an extraordinary number of letters supporting Anderson, including one from a Nobel Prize winner. But the judge said Anderson had caused "incalculable" emotional damage to a victim he described as an insecure and trusting immigrant. "Because of intellectual arrogance, he persisted and he got away with as much as he could," the judge said. Anderson, 70, was convicted last July of one count...

LOS ANGELES A jury convicted world-renowned geneticist William French Anderson on Wednesday of molesting the daughter of a colleague. Anderson, 69, is widely credited as the "father of gene therapy," a promising but controversial experimental medical treatment that involves injecting healthy genes into sick patients. He was the first person to successfully treat a patient this way in 1990, launching the field. The white-haired Anderson sat stoically, staring straight ahead, his head held high. He showed no reaction as the verdicts were read. His wife, a renowned surgeon, sat in the front row of the spectator section behind him with...

Reason to Believe A leading geneticist argues that science can lead to faith. Reviewed by Scott Russell Sanders THE LANGUAGE OF GOD A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief By Francis S. Collins Here we are, briefly, under the sun, one species among millions on a gorgeous planet in the remote provinces of the universe, our very existence a riddle. Of all the words we use to mask our ignorance, none has been more abused, none has given rise to more strife, none has rolled from the tongues of more charlatans than the name of God. Nor has any word been...

Once upon a time, not too awfully long ago, America was known as the ‘shining city on the hill.’ America, the most radical experiment in the history of the world, was the only nation to which people oppressed and repressed by old world systems of social classes and castes could be free of the stifling bindings engendered by those man created constraints. She was a Judao-Christian nation where God of the bible, and not an elite ruling class, was sovereign over all. America was the land of hope, promise and opportunity, where not only all men were equal before God’s...

But despite the fact that we both belong to the same species, our genes are pretty different. Only half the genes are identical among siblings who aren't twins, for example, and for most of us, the degree of genetic relatedness is much...
