Learning , sharing,  growing , changing . . .  creating      wonderful excitement.

There are many companies out there who are offering Resveratrol. 

How many have jumped the gun?

There is a huge distinction between rats and humans. 

 

Evaluate the Suppliers:

1. Have they performed the double-blind placebo based clinical human trials to verify safe, effective dosing?  Ask for the data.
2. Have they stabilized the delivery of Resveratrol so that the   XX mg per dose you have in their bottle today is also there when you open their bottle tomorrow?

Note: The amount of Resveratrol in a bottle of Pinot Grigio is diminished by approximately 50% when the bottle is opened the following day.

Do the research, evaluate the suppliers and it will make a difference in your supplemental health regime.  I recommend Univera.

Studies showed that resveratrol increased life span in lower organisms by activating the NAD (+)-dependent histone deacetylase Sirt1. And, it was found that that resveratrol promoted longevity and improved glucose homeostasis in mice by stimulating the Sirt1-mediated deacetylation of the transcriptional coactivator PGC-1alpha. [7] Researchers are interested to know if resveratrol benefits animals suffered from chronic diseases, such as diabetes. The following is a summary of a few interesting research studies about the potential benefits of resveratrol on chronic diseases, such as diabetes. In 2001, Naderali EK and co-workers from University of Liverpool found resveratrol (5-35 micromole/l) induced concentration-dependent relaxation of mesenteric arteries preconstricted with noradrenaline (8 micromol/l) or KCl (125 mmol/l) from both lean and dietary-obese rats. [1] Hyperglycemia, a symptom of diabetes mellitus, induces hyperosmotic responses, including apoptosis, in vascular endothelial cells and leukocytes. Hyperosmotic shock elicits a stress response in mammalian cells, often leading to apoptotic cell death. Moreover, resveratrol was found to attenuate high glucose-induced apoptotic changes by virtue of its antioxidant property. [2] Diabetic nephropathy is a serious vascular complication and one of the main causes of end-stage renal disease. Increased oxidative stress plays an important role in the etiology of diabetic nephropathy. In a study, researchers found treatment with resveratrol significantly attenuated renal dysfunction and oxidative stress in diabetic rats. [3] Most of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients eventually become insulin dependent because insulin secretion by the islets of Langerhans becomes exhausted. In the present study, researchers from Chang Gung University, Taiwan, showed that resveratrol (3,5,4'-trihydroxylstilbene) possesses hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects in streptozotocin-induced diabetes rats. In resveratrol-treated diabetic rats, the plasma glucose concentration on day 14 was reduced by 25.3%, and the triglyceride concentration was reduced by 50.2% compared with the placebo-treated rats. In nicotinamide-treated diabetic rats, the plasma glucose oncentration on day 14 was reduced only by 20.3 %, and the triglyceride concentration was reduced by 33 %. Resveratrol administration ameliorates common DM symptoms, such as body weight loss, polyphagia, and polydipsia. In STZ-nicotinamide DM rats, resveratrol administration significantly decreased insulin secretion and delayed the onset of insulin resistance. [4] Usually, diabetic rats exhibited a significant thermal hyperalgesia and cold allodynia along with increased plasma glucose and decreased body weights. Allodynia means other pain. It is a painful response to a usually non-painful stimulus. Hyperalgesia is an increased sensitivity to pain, which may be caused by damage to nociceptors or peripheral nerves. [Wikipedia] Sharma S and co-workers from Panjab University, India, reported treatment with resveratrol (10mg/kg orally) from week 4 to week 6 significantly attenuated the cold allodynia and thermal hyperalgesia, suggesting the application of resveratrol in diabetes, especially for diabetic neuropathy. [5] Researchers, at Boston University Medical Center, revealed inactivation of hepatic AMP-activated protein kinase was a key event in the pathogenesis of hyperlipidemia in diabetes (based on a study of in type 1 diabetic LDL receptor-deficient mice). They showed that resveratrol could lower lipid levels by activating AMP-activated protein kinase. It was about 200 times the potency of Metformin! [6] Recent Research Studies of Resveratrol on Diabetes Schmatz R and co-workers from Universidade Federal de Santa Maria, Brazil, found that treatment with resveratrol prevented the increase in acetylcholinesterase activity and consequently memory impairment in diabetic rats. [8] Palsamy P and other India researchers found daily oral treatment of resveratrol to diabetic rats for 30 days demonstrated a significant decline in blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin levels and a significant increase in plasma insulin level. The administration of resveratrol also reverted the altered activities of the key enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism such as hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glycogen synthase and glycogen phosphorylase in liver and kidney tissues of diabetic rats to near normal levels. [9] Researchers from New York Medical College observed that resveratrol increased mitochondrial mass and mtDNA content, up-regulated protein expression of electron transport chain constituents and induced mitochondrial biogenesis factors (PGC-1alpha, Nrf-1, Tfam) in cultured human coronary arterial endothelial cells. They found resveratrol treatment normalized impaired mitochondrial biogenesis in aortas of type 2 diabetic mice. This suggests the potential benefits of resveratrol on diabetes or metabolic diseases. [10] Researchers from Dortmund University of Technology, Germany, observed that resveratrol could inhibit the formation of islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP) fibril. Following preferential partitioning of IAPP into the fluid lipid phase, the membrane of beta-cells suffered irreversible damage and predominantly circularly-shaped lipid-containing IAPP amyloid was formed. Deposition of amyloid in the extracellular matrix of beta-cells commonly occurs in type II diabetes mellitus. Thus, resveratrol may benefit animals suffered from diabetes. [11] Rodella LF and co-workers from University of Brescia, Italy, found resveratrol and cobalt protoporphyrin administration increased heme oxygenase-1 protein expression and heme oxygenase activity in the aorta and significantly increased serum adiponectin levels, compared to untreated diabetic rats. Increased heme oxygenase-1 expression usually improves vascular function. [12] Resveratrol decreased blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood urea, serum uric acid, serum creatinine and diminished activities of pathophysiological enzymes such as aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in diabetic rats after 30 days of treatment. [13] The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is high.nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is linked to obesity, diabetes mellitus, and hypertriglyceridemia. Approximately 20% of patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease will eventually develop cirrhosis. Resveratrol was found to decrease nonalcoholic fatty liver disease severity in rats. This effect was mediated, at least in part, by tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) inhibition and antioxidant activities.

Recently, I found myself using the word Allopathic or Allopathy.  When asked what it meant, I stumbled blindly towards the answer, " . . . a generalization of the standard practice of medicine."   I lucked out.  However, having looked up the word I am not inclined to use the word again.  Why?   It has to do with motivation and maturity.  People have a right to have their opinions.  You might hear them say, " . . .  that is the way it is done and all other ways are false".   Since the goal is to advance the efficacy our efforts we must be patient until one can demonstrate or show the value of new, different ways of restoring and maintaining our body's vitality or in any other area of life.   With that purpose in mind, I believe using 'Allopathy' or 'Allopathic' to describe the main stream, standard way of today's medicine or health practitioner is counter productive.  Just a useless as describing non-traditional health maintenance and renewal arts as 'snake oil' et al.

(This post acknowledges and encounter with Robin 6/8/09)

Allopathy is a term coined in the early 19th century^[1] by Samuel Hahnemann^[2], the founder of homeopathy, as a synonym for mainstream medicine. It was used by homeopaths to highlight the difference they perceived between homeopathy and conventional medicine, and its use remains common among homeopaths. The term derives from the Greek ἄλλος, állos, other, different + πάϑος, páthos, suffering. The distinction comes from the use in homeopathy of substances that cause similar effects as the symptoms of a disease to treat patients (homeo - meaning similar). The term allopathy was meant to contrast the homeopathic approach with those conventional medical treatments that are different from or which directly counter a patient's symptoms; hence the terms allopathic and antipathic. Homeopaths saw such symptomatic treatments as "opposites treating opposites". However, many conventional medical treatments do not fit this definition of allopathy, as they seek to prevent illness, or remove the cause of an illness by acting on the etiology of disease.^[3][4]

The term allopathic was used throughout the 19th Century as a derogatory term for the practitioners of heroic medicine,^[5][6] a precursor to modern medicine that did not rely on evidence. The meaning and controversy surrounding the term can be traced to its original usage during a heated 19th-century debate between practitioners of homeopathy, and those they derisively referred to as "allopaths."^[7] The meaning implied by the label has never been accepted by conventional medicine, and is still be considered pejorative by some.^[8][9] More recently, some sources have used the term allopathic, particularly American sources wishing to distinguish between conventional medicine and, say, osteopathic.^[10][6][11]

History is full of examples of this kind of tension or Semmelweis reflex; rejecting the obvious benefits in favor of the norm.

Socratic Method: Short Stories and James Hoskins

May 18, 2009 01:12 PM PDT

Today on ID the Future, Casey Luskin interviews James Hoskins about his latest creative writing endeavors. Hoskins, a philosophy major at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, has written several pieces based on the debate between ID and Darwinian evolution, including one that pits Socrates and imaginary materialist Hector Dawkins against each other as they argue over the scientific merit of ID. Hoskins also reads excerpts from some of his stories, and describes the inspiration behind them.

Hoskins' work, including his Debate Between Socrates and Hector Dawkins, can be downloaded from ID Arts here.

There are many ways to transition to a pro-active way to handle your future years.  If Univera's cellular renewal is indeed extending your productive life and you are beginning to see others are connecting to these benefits because of your sharing.  Perhaps the excellent compensation system of Univera is a way to go.  However, some may have a cash flow which is on a seemingly endless diet.  If you are 62 or older you may have an income boost which may be just the ticket for making that quantum leap from the same ole - same ole to a dynamic, expanding, business quadrant to match the changes in your life and your associations.   Here some information which may help from the Social Security Administration..

When To Start Receiving Retirement Benefits

SSA Publication No. 05-10147, July 2008, ICN 480136 [View.pdf] (En Español)

At Social Security, we're often asked, “What is the best age to start receiving retirement benefits?” The answer is that there is no one “best age” for everyone and, ultimately, it is your choice. You should make an informed decision about when to apply for benefits based on your individual and family circumstances. We hope the following information will help you understand how Social Security can fit into your retirement decision.

Contents

Your decision is a personal one

Monthly payments differ substantially based on when you start receiving benefits

Retirement may be longer than you think

Your decision could affect your family

You can keep working

Don't forget Medicare

Your decision is a personal one

Would it be better for you to begin receiving benefits early with a smaller monthly amount or wait for a larger monthly payment later that you may not receive as long? The answer is highly personal and depends on a number of factors, such as your current cash needs, your health and family longevity, whether you plan to work in retirement, whether you have other retirement income sources, your anticipated future financial needs and obligations, and, of course, the amount of your future Social Security benefit. We hope you will weigh all the facts carefully and consider your own circumstances before making the important decision about when to begin receiving Social Security benefits.

[Top]

Monthly payments differ substantially based on when you start receiving benefits

If you live to the average life expectancy for someone your age, you will receive about the same amount in lifetime benefits no matter whether you choose to start receiving benefits at age 62, full retirement age, age 70 or any age in between. However, monthly benefit amounts can differ substantially based on your retirement age. Basically, you can get lower monthly payments for a longer period of time or higher monthly payments over a shorter period of time. The amount you receive when you first get benefits sets the base for the amount you will receive for the rest of your life, though you do receive annual cost-of-living adjustments and, depending on your work history, may receive higher benefits if you continue to work

The following chart provides an example of how your monthly benefit amount can differ based on the age at which you decide to start receiving benefits.

Let’s say your full retirement age is 66 and your monthly benefit starting at that age is $1,000. If you choose to start getting benefits at age 62, your monthly benefit will be reduced by 25 percent to $750 to account for the longer period of time you receive benefits. This is generally a permanent reduction in your monthly benefit.

If you choose to not receive benefits until age 70, you would increase your monthly benefit amount to $1,320. This increase is from delayed retirement credits you get for your decision to postpone receiving benefits past your full retirement age. The benefit amount at age 70 in this example is 32 percent more than you would receive per month if you chose to start getting benefits at full retirement age.

[Top]

Retirement may be longer than you think

When thinking about retirement, be sure to plan for the long term. Many of us will live much longer than the “average” retiree, and, generally, women tend to live longer than men. About one out of every four 65-year-olds today will live past age 90, and one out of 10 will live past age 95. Social Security benefits, which last as long as you live, provide valuable protection against outliving savings and other sources of retirement income. Again, you will want to choose a retirement age based on your circumstances so you will have sufficient income when you need it.

[Top]

Your decision could affect your family

Your spouse may be eligible for a benefit based on your work record (spouse benefits are reduced if claimed before the spouse’s full retirement age). If you die before your spouse, he or she may be eligible for a survivor benefit based on your work record, particularly if you have earned more than your spouse over your lifetime. If you begin receiving Social Security benefits early, we cannot pay your surviving spouse a full benefit from your record. Also, if you wait until after the full retirement age to get benefits, your surviving spouse—if he or she is at least full retirement age—generally will receive the same benefit amount that you would have received.

Your children also may be eligible for a benefit on your work record if they are under age 18 or if they have a disability that began before age 22. For them to receive benefits, you must be getting benefits, too.

[Top]

You can keep working

When you reach your full retirement age, you can work and earn as much as you want and still receive your full Social Security benefit payment. If you are younger than full retirement age and if your earnings exceed certain dollar amounts, some of your benefit payments during the year will be withheld.

This does not mean you must try to limit your earnings. If we withhold some of your benefits because you continue to work, we will pay you a higher monthly benefit amount when you reach your full retirement age. In other words, if you would like to work and earn more than the exempt amount, you should know that it will not, on average, reduce the total value of lifetime benefits you receive from Social Security—and may actually increase them.

Here is how this works: after you reach full retirement age, we will recalculate your benefit amount to give you credit for any months in which you did not receive some benefit because of your earnings. In addition, as long as you continue to work and receive benefits, we will check your record every year to see whether the additional earnings will increase your monthly benefit.

[Top]

Don’t forget Medicare

If you plan to delay receiving benefits because you are working, you should sign up for Medicare three months before reaching age 65, regardless of when you reach full retirement age. Otherwise, your Medicare medical insurance, as well as prescription drug coverage, could be delayed, and you could be charged higher premiums.

When To Start Receiving Retirement Benefits

Sheikh Tamimi, Benedict XVI A leading Palestinian cleric commandeered an evening devoted to interfaith dialogue with Pope Benedict XVI on Monday to rant against Israel for "killing Gaza's children," "bulldozing Palestinian homes" and "destroying mosques." Slideshow: Pope in Israel, Day I In an impromptu speech, delivered in Arabic at the Notre Dame Pontifical Institute in Jerusalem, Sheikh Tayseer Tamimi, chief Islamic judge in the Palestinian Authority, launched a 10-minute tirade against the State of Israel for confiscating Palestinians' land and carrying out war crimes against the residents of Gaza.

I'm glad the Pope walked out.  He is a man of principle.  Unlike Obama who sat and listened for hours as Chavez delivered his hate America speech.

It is impossible for a Muslim Cleric to publicly befriend leaders of other faiths.  The Koran forbids this at the price to their life unless they are intentionally seducing of the infidel's heart and mind in order to eventually effect the subjugation of the submissive as they expand Shari ah.  Shari ah is . . . The 'Peace' of the Religion of Peace.

Those who hear such a declaration and do not comply . . .  then any devote Muslim is justified to wage jihad on those who have refused to submit.   This is similar to the declaration made by Osama to the United States several months before the towers fell.  Again, parts of Koran free the militant from any pang of conscience as they deliver judgment to men, women and children who refused to submit to the call  . . .

Principle #6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.

Life, Liberty, & The Pursuit of Happiness “Everyone has a natural right to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely to give him comfortable subsistence.” Thomas Jefferson

In my mind Unions try to guarantee results.  It’s impossible.   Because they do ( guarantee results for the workers)  they eventually get in the way of  creativity and progress.  Therefore, this news is predictable. 

Manufacturing.Net - April 01, 2009

 

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Membership in the United Auto Workers union declined 7 percent in 2008 to more than 431,000 workers, according to a Labor Department report.

The report filed Monday said the union lost 33,873 members during the past year, bringing it down to levels not seen since World War II. The UAW had fewer than 500,000 members in 1941 but by 1945, it had boosted its membership beyond 1 million.

UAW membership peaked in 1979 at 1.5 million members.

The union has been hard hit by plant closings and job cuts by Detroit's automakers. According to the Labor Department, the union had more than 700,000 in 2001.

Union officials, however, have said the membership levels cited by the Labor Department give a false impression of the union's size. In 2007, for example, they said the UAW represented 512,000 members. Messages were left Tuesday with UAW officials.

UAW President Ron Gettelfinger received a salary of $157,117 in 2008, a 4 percent raise over the previous year, according to the Labor Department.

Why is the Family Party posting this standard of principles and values? 

My Answer:  The Family Party recognizes the social desire expressed as ‘we need’  begins with ‘I am’.  From where ‘I am” we build identity, family and  a society which can thrive and endure. Principles and values in action and expression are the core manifestation of character.  Without people of character we have no foundation for family.  Without families we have no foundation for a cohesive, vital, creative society.

Religious and political entities  are providing their contribution to this effort to create a better society..   However, the Family Party recognizes the social desire expressed as ‘we need’  begins with ‘I am’.  From where ‘I am” we build identity, family and society which can thrive and endure.

If you have difficulties with any two of the principles, that is fine.  With honesty, sincerity, graciousness, responsibility (response able) and humility let’s engage in the expression of our position and understanding.  Having done so, we both grow in charity, hard work, moderation and courage.  Now, we’re on the way.

 

9 Principles

1. America Is Good.

2. I believe in God and He is the Center of my Life.

God “The propitious smiles of Heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the external rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained.” from George Washington’s first Inaugural address.

3. I must always try to be a more honest person than I was yesterday.

Honesty “I hope that I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider to be the most enviable of all titles, the character of an honest man.” George Washington

4. The family is sacred. My spouse and I are the ultimate authority, not the government.

Marriage/Family “It is in the love of one’s family only that heartfelt happiness is known. By a law of our nature, we cannot be happy without the endearing connections of a family.” Thomas Jefferson

5. If you break the law you pay the penalty. Justice is blind and no one is above it.

Justice “I deem one of the essential principles of our government… equal and exact justice to all men of whatever state or persuasion, religious or political.” Thomas Jefferson

6. I have a right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, but there is no guarantee of equal results.

Life, Liberty, & The Pursuit of Happiness “Everyone has a natural right to choose that vocation in life which he thinks most likely to give him comfortable subsistence.” Thomas Jefferson

7. I work hard for what I have and I will share it with who I want to. Government cannot force me to be charitable.

Charity “It is not everyone who asketh that deserveth charity; all however, are worth of the inquiry or the deserving may suffer.” George Washington

8. It is not un-American for me to disagree with authority or to share my personal opinion.

On your right to disagree “In a free and republican government, you cannot restrain the voice of the multitude; every man will speak as he thinks, or more properly without thinking.” George Washington

9. The government works for me. I do not answer to them, they answer to me.

Who works for whom? “I consider the people who constitute a society or a nation as the source of all authority in that nation.” Thomas Jefferson

12 Values

Honesty      Reverence    Hope               Thrift                Humility

Charity        Sincerity       Moderation    Hard Work      Courage

Personal Responsibility                          Gratitude

These rumors have been ginned up in many varieties of the theme since 2005 and pushed about in almost every state in the US.  Click here to go to Snopes.com which specializes collecting and exposing rumors.  The latest one was here in Miami, FL.  My daughter text messaged me.  I sent the message to Wal-Mart administration at noon and the local media was coming out with the 'False Rumor' news by 2pm.  What hurt more was an associate at work said he had heard that a police type was saying a gang was sending this information out.  Yes, you could say that . . . depending on your definition of 'gang'.   

And . . .hey, who doesn't like Wal-Mart?   Gangs?  However, let's check their modus operandi . . . 

Their tool:          Fear 

Their target:      The gullible. 

Their purpose:     Make big business, non-____ Wal-Mart suffer by getting gullible customers to stay away. 

So, who keeps resurrecting this 'Gang Killing at Wal-Mart' rumor?  Simple.  You wouldn't believe me.  And if I nailed it they might nail my tires. Really, I want to keep shopping at Wal-Mart as long as I can and/or as long as the prices are low, low. low.  So, until we all become socialist pigs, here's to the health and continued growth of Wal-Mart and other non-bailed-out, non-union, big businesses.

I wish I had not been swayed by the mass media about Huckabee. What I have seen of him on his show on FOX and here in this presidential debate clip inspires me to believe: There are men of principle who are able lead, stand up, and still have a respectful manner. I hope you can interview him someday.

It appears that Dec. 7th was the time for the poll and they may have revived it again.  Go there and vote. Approximately 9.3 million voted to keep "In God We Trust" from among 11+ Million who voted.  Way to go team. Now, Click Here and Vote.

At our left is the first coin minted with, "In God We Trust".  An 1864 two cent piece.

Recently I read Stephen Prothero's Book, Religious Literacy.  Reading, I was amazed to discover that the separation of church and state reached a defining moment when the Catholics and Protestants were quarreling over the right to put books, they approved of,  in parochial school during the late 1800's.  In response to a Catholic complaint about the matter, the American judicial system chiseled out a 'separation of church and state' stance that is now being used by some, to attempt to drive 'God' out of the American Milieu or 'Blood'.  This is wrong . . .  

Because of the Mayflower Compact,

Having undertaken, for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith and Honour of our King and Country, a Voyage to plant the First Colony in the Northern Parts of Virginia, do by these presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one of another, Covenant and Combine ourselves together into a Civil Body Politic, for our better ordering and preservation and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to enact, constitute and frame such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the Colony, unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.

. . . the Declaration of independence 

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

and much much more . . .

America is great because of its choice to recognize the creator as the source of live and the freedom to pursue happiness; not government, a political party or person.

This is the blood of America, created by the blood, sweat and tears of our founders and of man's journey of discovery through history. Anyone, of any faith, of any race who embraces the spirit and heart of these words is an American.

You've heard that Rush said,  " . . . I hope he fails . . ." about President Obama.  Get to the bottom of this with some bipartisan digging into the details. . . . Here's a good place to start . . . From an interview on CNBC on 1/29/09.

BURNETT: Bottom line, Rush. You're saying as an individual, you hope Barack Obama succeeds, right? He's your president, too?
RUSH: Yeah. I want him to succeed in bringing the country around, but the policies he's announced are not going to do it. I want the policies to fail; I want America to succeed. I love the country.

and

RUSH: I think this stimulus plan IS about re-FDRing America, the New New Deal, and as a conservative I want liberalism to fail. I want the country to succeed, and that's what I meant, and that's what I said over and over again. You've gotta stop reading these left-wing liberal sites that take me out of context.

Most of you may be familiar with a proof given for the evolution of life which goes like this . . . lighting, primordial atmospheric gases, lightning, heat, water, etc. finally producing  living organisms and eventually man.  Therefore the title.

An experiment by Miller-Urey set out to prove just that.  Hence the name: Miller-Urey Experiment.  However, problems have been found with the value of this experiment in proving the evolutionary advent of life.  So new versions of the Miller-Urey experiment have arisen. However, are these problems for proving the evolutionary origin of life resolved simply by tweaking the Miller-Urey experiment?   

Here is an episode from Intelligent Design The Future which may shed some light on the dilemma.  Hint: Be sure to refresh your understanding of 'reduction' . Click this link to check it out:
