By viewing evolution as the motion of energy flows toward a stationary state (entropy), evolution can be explained by the second law of thermodynamics, a law which conventionally describes physical systems. In this view, a cheetah serves as an energy transfer mechanism, and beneficial mutations allow the animal to transfer more energy within its environment, helping even out the energy.

Actress Lindsay Lohan has once again been rushed to a hospital, this time for a fractured wrist reports Access Hollywood. A source close to Lindsay Lohan claims the actress went to the emergency room at St. Vincent's Friday in New York after sustaining a fall

It's a statistic that would have Charles Darwin turning in his grave - more than one third of Americans don't believe in evolution, according to a new study. After tabulating surveys that covered 34 countries, researchers at the University of Michigan have found that U.S. citizens are much less likely to accept Darwinism than Europeans and the Japanese. The study, published in Friday's issue of the journal Science, found that in countries like Iceland, Sweden, Denmark and France, at least 80 per cent of adult believe that humans evolved from other species. In Japan, 78 per cent of adults believe...

An interview by Jamie Glazov with Larry Arnhart, a professor of political science at Northern Illinois University, about his new book Darwinian Conservatism. Glazov: Larry Arnhart, thanks for taking the time out to talk about your new book. Arnhart: It’s a pleasure. Thank you for inviting me. Glazov: Tell us briefly what your book is about and your main argument. Arnhart: I am trying to persuade conservatives that they need Charles Darwin. Conservatives need to see that a Darwinian science of human nature supports their realist view of human imperfectability, and it refutes the utopian view of the Left that...

What Does the Fossil Record Show? Can the theory of evolution be proven? After all, it is called the theory of evolution in acknowledgment that it is a hypothesis rather than a confirmed scientific fact.Where can we find evidence supporting evolution as an explanation for the teeming variety of life on earth?Since evolutionists claim that the transition from one species to a new one takes place in tiny, incremental changes over millions of years, they acknowledge that we cannot observe the process taking place today. Our lifespans simply are too short to directly observe such a change.Instead, they say, we...

Remember the Contract With America and all the other good stuff about reducing the size of government? Here's a nice graphic illustrating the question: What Happened? I have no idea.

The Americans arrive to much fanfareBY FILIP BONDY New York Daily News HAMBURG - Bugenhagenstrasse, the narrow, cobbled road behind the Park Hyatt, was blockaded at both ends on Friday afternoon, with 20 policemen standing guard to protect the precious cargo inside the hotel. That would be the U.S. national soccer team, with its special security needs and its modest World Cup expectations. "Second round or bust," is the unspoken motivational motto around here, at least until further notice. The players landed Friday morning at 6:03 a.m., were mobbed by German media, and soon discovered this isn't Korea anymore. In...

U.S. sovereignty slip-sliding away -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: August 6, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern By Henry Lamb -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com It began in 1994. All the attention was focused on the new WTO emerging from the Uruguay round of GATT negotiations. Little attention was paid to the Summit of the Americas meeting in Miami. The assembled ministers agreed to create a Free Trade Agreement of the Americas and that it would be completed by January 2005, entering into force by December 2005. For ten years, 34 governments have been conducting negotiating sessions throughout the Americas, fashioning a new trade agreement that...

A Colorado congressman pushing for immigration reform is in Iowa, and he says he'll launch a presedential campaign if no other candidates takes up the cause.Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo is appearing at a breakfast reception this morning in Dubuque."Porous borders allow people into this country who have things on their mind other than just trying to get a job. They are coming here to do very bad things. They are coming to kill you and me and my kids and yours," Tancredo says."If we don't control our own borders, then we can't possibly hope to really be terribly succesful in...

In a impassioned speech before hundreds of influential Hispanic civil rights leaders from across the nation, Gov. Mike told a captive audience Wednesday that America is great because it has always opened it doors up to people seekign a better way of life.

OK, I've "done the homework" for y'all and hoping I can get some support for this cause. I saw Tom Tancredo on C-Span a few days ago as he spoke to a women's group in New Hampshire and he "went on record" saying that "Yes, I will run if no one else does" (not a direct quote) should there be no Republican that takes a firm stand on the issue of illegals. My crusade here, then, is to email him w/words of encouragement (use the form at): http://www.tancredo.org/info/contact.html and THEN send an email or phone or fax (State, Border Governor's...

``It really wasn't about (a makeover). I think it's starting to take on a life of its own,'' said Millar. ``It was about raising money for the Little League in Port Charlotte that got hit by the hurricane the year before that. That's what it was about. It wasn't about us getting our hair cut or getting a makeover. It took on a life of its own because that's what the show was about. But the main thing was we played two innings of baseball for this Little League and basically just goofed around a little bit.''

U.S. Border Patrol agents have been ordered not to arrest illegal aliens along the section of the Arizona border where protesters patrolled last month because an increase in apprehensions there would prove the effectiveness of Minuteman volunteers, The Washington Times has learned.

I dont know about all of you, BUT, I a fed up, with the double-standard of the left. FROM NOW ON, I will have a harsh response, for those pleading for money, support, etc, TO SAVE ANIMALS, TREES, OR FISH, or for the civil rights of TERORISTS, KILLERS, AND ALIENS. After the way most of this country(according to polls) abandoned Terri Schiavo, allowing that demon-filled husband, and the other demons in the Florida legislature, to KILL her, I WILL NOT SUPPORT ANY OF THEIR ANIMAL RIGHTS CAUSES!! the left, and EVERYONE, need to know that PEOPLE, especially AMERICANS, are more...
