What makes our planet unique? When astronomers are looking for life on other planets, what do they look for?  Water.  One of the wonderful properties of water is its ability to hold heat. In fact, our oceans and seas act like big thermostats that moderate the Earth’s...

Where are the transitional fossils? Charles Darwin believed that if evolution were true, it would be found in the fossil record. He believed that the fossil record would show a species gradually changing from simple to greater complexity. But over the last hundred...
