Protein analysis:.Protein
analysis and the manufacturing within
the cell is an enormous job.."In
our
eyes, a protein
called a lens crystalline helps to build the lens. Yet its virtually the
same as alcohol dehydrogenase, the protein that digests alcohol in the
liver. The eye protein is so similar that it can degrade alcohol in a test
tube."....notes

Soap bubbles:.When
four soap bubbles meet, why are they designed to form in a particular way
and no other?."They
meet in pairs along six common surfaces at an angle of 109º. If a
fifth bubble is trapped at the common intersection, it distorts
into a rounded pyramid..(see
also the fern)
"Exactly the same shape
with the correct angles can be seen in the silica skeleton of the diminutive
organism Callimitra agnesae, a nasselarian.(a
microscopic marine creature). This hardly
looks like a coincidence."....Ian

Radiolarians.(microscopic
marine creatures).also

mathematical designs, dodecahedral,
icosahedral
and octahedral,

regular solids.
Dating methods:.Some
main approaches are, Dendrochronology,
Obsidian
Hydration Dating, Potassium
Argon, Radiocarbon-14.(a
radiometric
dating formula), TL Dating, Varve
Analysis and radioactive decay
of uranium-234 to uranium-238.
Trees:.Dendrochronology:.the
counting of tree rings dates. The Great Basin Bristlecone is believed to
be one of the oldest trees at over 4000 years.
Trees are our lungs. If they
don't breath, neither do we. Trees, shrubs, etc. take in what we breath
out, carbon
dioxide and in turn, they give out oxygen;
an incredible balanced system. Get out in nature and appreciate what supports
humanity and provides so much beauty.
Just as the intelligent
design of humans is mind
boggling, so it is with trees.
Pollution is the result
of the ego being influenced from the dark side way; the way of enticing
man with enough greed to disregard his production of poisons which choke
the planet of life, such as the poisonous combustion engine, jet engine
emissions, production emissions, deliberate
poisonings from many sources, such as
chlorine,
genetically
modified 'food', chemtrails, destruction of nature, disregard of First
Nations ways to allow for electricity from dams, the many 'cides'
and the poisonings in many
other ways on the road of death. And all that seems necessary
when
the dark side.easily
influenced ego of man.suppresses.technologies
that would provide humanity's needs freely.
A giant
Redwood's rings have been counted to be over 2500 years old. The Coast
Redwoods.(Sequoia
sempervirens).in
California are over 318 feet tall having trunk diameters over 25 feet!
The tallest is 369.75 feet. They are growing today, adding annually to
their rings and no doubt, will carry on growing for as long as man will
be here. They are living proof of their dated beginning.
But, there is a maximum:
due to the characteristics
God engineered into the tree, they can only achieve a height of 426 feet.(130m).due
to the transporting of
water the tree's natural mechanism uses.
Answers are available through
Bing and/or Google for questions on trees; for example why can't deciduous
trees stand frost, such as say, the sycomore?
How
old could the living Earth be? The age of trees pose
interesting questions.
Obsidian is usually black
or banded, hard volcanic glass that displays shiny, curved surfaces when
fractured
and is formed by rapid cooling of lava. Obsidian Hydration Dating estimates
dates based upon measurement of the thickness of a rim that was produced
through evaporation
of water that is made to seep
into obsidian creations.
TL Dating.(Thermoluminescence
Dating):.is based
on the phenomenon of natural ionizing.radiation.inducing
the free electron
in a mineral that.appears
to be.trapped
in defects of the mineral's crystal lattice
structure. Since this method assumes a constant background level of radiation,
its accuracy is in question.
Varve analysis:.Sediment
sequentially
deposited in a body of still water over a one year period, causing a series
of layers. From this, a rate of sedimentation,
measured in 'units per year' is divided by the number of units deposited.
This method leaves out the dynamic forces
which have affected the planet in the past.
Sand dollars:
Sand Dollars exhibit specialized design.
Their fabrication
is pefect for both their
sustenance
and continuance:."Sand
dollars have moveable spines much like sea urchins, but these spines are
smaller and more numerous, forming a dense felt covering over the entrire
animal. Among these spines are many small pedicellaria.(tiny,
three jawed
appendages
on long flexible stalks).that
are used to keep the body clean...Some species
cover themselves completely with sand...Sand dollars burrow in sand or
soft sediments...Different species burrow differently, but in all cases
the spines move sand grains.(symmetry
with diversity)...Fine food particles
drop between the spines and are moved to the margins of the body and then
down the oral surface of the animal. Here, a set of five radiating and
sometimes branching, food groves lined with specialized suckered tube feet
act as conveyor belts that transport the food particles toward the mouth
located at the centre of the oral surface."....Nature

Moles:."One
species, the.(blind).star
nosed mole, has taken a sensitive snout beyond any other animal. Twenty
two writhing
tentacles at the tip of its nose make it look like a living sea anemone
has been glued to its face. Supercharged with nerve endings, this star
shaped appendage
has a similarly shaped area in the brain that receives and processes its
tactile
information. To become the world's best digging animals, moles' shoulder
and collarbone are joined differently than other mammals, which allows
their front legs to splay out to the side. This is an excellent arrangement
for tunnel life.
