Modern sled dogs from across the Arctic can trace their ancestry back to Siberia, according to a new genetic study that dovetails with archaeological evidence. Today’s familiar breeds such as huskies and malamutes are descended from a lineage that was well-established in Siberia 9,500 years ago and has been critical to human survival in the Arctic ever since.

Needless to say, these are grandiose claims. A thruster that doesn’t require tanks of fuel sounds suspiciously like science fiction — like the jets on Iron Man’s suit in the Marvel movies, for instance, or the thrusters that allow Doc Brown’s DeLorean to fly in “Back to the Future.”But in Tang’s telling, his invention — let’s just call it a Tang Jet, which he worked on with Wuhan University collaborators Dan Ye and Jun Li — could have civilization-shifting potential here in the non-fictional world.“Essentially, the goal of this technology is to try and use electricity and air to replace gasoline,” he said. “Global warming is a major threat to human civilization. Fossil fuel-free technology using microwave air plasma could be a solution.”

The design in world history demands a non-theistic approach and is directly falfsifying of the Old Testament mythology.
It is even time for secular humanists to consider design arguments so that science can figure out its scientific basis.
https://www.dropbox.com/home/Public?preview=Decoding+World+History_DCDXver_4.pdfOur book ‘Decoding World History’, which will in a different version be an introduction to a very abbreviated edition of World History and the Eonic Effect is approaching a steady draft and can be read on its own terms.Everyone should be aware of this strange dynamic in world history. And it shows us the context of ‘evolution’ in the case of human history. It may also indicate the nature of evolution as such: evolution occurs in long sequences of transitions that operate over a region and induce species change via a form factor that tests its productions against the environment. No more silly thinking about natural selection.

Although the ID critics of Darwinism have usefully exposed the fallacies of Darwinism, the whole issue of ID is a grey zone of confusion. The pretense that Dembski has made a definable science of I…

Humans and monkeys may not speak the same lingo, but our ways of thinking are a lot more similar than previously thought, according to new research.
Sled dogs are much older and have adapted to Arctic conditions much earlier than previously thought. Researchers show that ancestors of modern sled dogs have worked and lived with humans for over 9,500 years.
