There's a poem:

water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.

Why did the boards shrink? (They are in the sea)

I've heard the theory that this is because the liquid level rises around the perimeter as the tea (or coffee etc.) is stirred. This is not the case! If you start stirring, the ringing rises in pitch. Allow the cup to settle and stir again and the ringing is still high pitched.

Come on you scientists! Get your grey matter around this little oddity and impress me.

For example, the Hamadrayas Baboon exhibit at the zoo smelt absolutely god awful, but I had to approach to write about my observations for biology. Then, after about thirty seconds, I couldn't smell anything, even though I knew better than to assume that the babboons just stopped stinking.

who is now in danger of losing his tenure because of his scientific investigations into something most other professors disbelieve and to which they object. What happened to the legendary principled open-mindedness of scientists and the scientific method?

I read an article recently in the National Geographich that explained why Darwin got it right. I also read Richard Dawkins' "River Out Of Eden". Although I believe in creation, I tried to read these as objectively as possible. It seemed to me that they did not present a successful case. Although each presented a specific argument within the overall case that seemed persuasive, it was on a scientific matter that I only understood a little. These specific points did make me stop and think, though. Unfortunately, I can't actually remember what they were. Many of the arguments presented in each document could be successfully countered. If Evolution is true, why is the evidence not of such a high quality? I think evolutionist have generally not presented their case very well, but what do you think?

I'm not talking about minor variations such as blue and green. I'm saying if you see blue, could someone else see your blue as orange.

You can tell that I'm not a science major. I had this question as a child and never got a good response. This question just came out of nowhere!

I work in a lab using a small machine that produces UVB. We use a curtain around the machine, but light still escapes through the openings.

Can anyone tell me the anwer to this. I have looked everywhere but no one seems to be able to answer it. Why is evolution so widely accepted if it goes against all known scientific fact?
Example:
It's been proven that things can mutate(lose genetic information only)
It's also scientific fact and common knowledge that nothing can gain genetic info or evolve. so, if things cant evolve, nor have they ever, why do people believe this?
