-(Natural News) A new paper that has argued for the concept of intelligent design (ID) has just passed peer review. Published in the Journal of Theoretical Biology, the paper argues that living beings are too exquisitely complex to have arisen by mindless, purposeless forces of nature, expressing this argument in mathematical terms. In the paper, researchers Steinar […]

-(Natural News) Contrary to what most people might think, the human skull — the bone structure that supports the face and forms a protective cavity for the brain — is actually composed of many bones rather than one — 22 bones, to be precise. These bones, which are connected together by fibrous structures known as “cranial sutures,” harden and […]

-(Natural News) Researchers from the University of California, Riverside (UC Riverside) have shown that the way animal mothers nurture their offspring can influence how they develop, and can even influence how fast a new species develops. The study, which was published in the journal Nature Communications, studies more than 170 species from the Poeciliidae family of freshwater fish, the most famous […]

-(Natural News) Modern crocodiles are known as apex predators – and rightly so. While these fearsome reptiles don’t primarily hunt people, estimates indicate that crocodiles kill about 1,000 humans per year.
