This is Irena Sendler hero of the Holocaust who saved the lives of 2500+ children by smuggling them out of the Warsaw ghetto taken over by the Nazis. She was tortured by the Nazis but never divulged their whereabouts. That there are heroes of her stature even today never ceases to amaze me and they are ohhhhh so few. During the war and Nazi occupations many (yet comparatively few) rose to the occasion.

What was amazing in genetic research and dna research from what I have studied is that even slight genetic differences are crucial and small differences have great meaning due to the way we are wired. (Shawn Carroll ,The Making of the Fittest). Is this not very indicative of intelligent design?

Literacy is awareneass -especially in science

I just heard an interview with the elder James Watson who broke the DNA code and wrote the book Avoid Boring People . He made the observation that arrogance and assertiveness is essential especially for young people in making great discoveries. We,at least some of us, would recoil from such a comment . Yet what he does say makes a great deal of sense to me in that context.

Genetic Resarch

Am investigating Shawn Carroll's The Making of the Fittest.. and find genetic research to be utterly a fascinating endeavor. He's from the University of Wisconsin. Forensic dna records can now explain why genetic development of certain species happened that way. The selection process is predictable and not random whereas the mutated genes and non functional genes are random. He also discusses "trichromatic vision", full color spectrum vision, which we as humans have and not all mammals have this full spectrum.Some birds have ultraviolet perception we don't have.
