Biology - August 2006

I've been looking at what some people think Extra-terrestrials would look like. But I have to think, is it really possible to imagine, realistically, an alien species? To think they would be made of the same elements is, of course the obvious topic, but is it very plausible that any other organism would evolve or develope in any way like Earth's? Things like DNA, Cellular resperation, Cells themselves, Photosynthisis(sp?), and many other things we use to recognize what organisms are. So yes, this is less a question and more of a spring-board for disscusion.

I have been told by many people that sitting in front of a computer monitor all day will ruin good eyesight very quickly. Is this true or false? Is it the radiation, and if so why? Do LCD monitors also ruin eyesight?

I'd like to know what's the point in having different blood types instead of just everyone having the same blood type. I'm interested in the answers from both evolution and creation point of view.

So we have to do a bug collection for Biology. We have to capture bugs and then kill them before we disect them...by either suffocating them with nail polish remover or freezing them in the freezer. Erm...isn't that a little inhumane? I mean, I know they're just bugs, but its pretty horrible if you think about it. Why isn't there some kind of rule against doing it? I know it must sound stupid, but heck, I wouldn't want to die by being frozen or suffocated... ok, maybe I'm weird, but it sounds pretty cruel.
