Dinosaurs have long been a source of fascination and the inspiration for many stories and scientific explorations. Fossilized dinosaur bones have been discovered in different parts of the world for centuries, with the first scientifically recorded specimen called Megalosaurus unearthed near Oxford in 1824 by William Buckland.

Astronomy is a great hobby, but how do you start? You likely are not an astrophysicist or scientist, but want a telescope which is easy to use. Today, there are the same old conventional telescopes, and the new type of computerized telescopes that make life much easier.

We rely on osmosis to survive. It is a naturally occurring process that happens automatically in our bodies where a solvent moves through a semipermeable membrane into a solution of higher solute concentration. This tends to equalize the solute concentration either side of the membrane. This occurs in the human body in certain cells and organs in t

Never has an intermediate fossil of a reptile evolving into a bird been found. Thousands of fossilized reptiles and birds are documented, yet not a single transitional fossil has been discovered that proves one species morphed into the other creature. The overall fossil record is an enemy to Darwinism. All higher kinds of plants and animals

Since the internet has created easy access to even a hobby such as practical astronomy, we have easy access to telescopes. Even some toy stores sell telescopes.
