He Is Not Dead

It’s a day past Easter, but still a good time to reflect on the seven victories it represents.

The Gospel According to EnChroma

Stephen McAlpine reflects on EnChroma glasses (which right color blindness) and asks, “What if the world we see right now in all its blazing colour is but a pale, anaemic, washed out version of the world that is coming?”

Did you know that some birds trick others into doing all their parenting for them? This video explains.

Will Editing Your Baby’s Genes Be Mandatory?
