Coach Bill Carmody still uses the complex system of his predecessor, Pete Carril. But that system has become much simpler now that Carmody can tell everyone to pass the ball to Chris Young...
Humphreys supported Ham's claims by pointing out faults in the fossil record. He cited a lack of transitional fossils and questioned whether the evolution of life, from simple to complex, was actually represented in the data...
...accept that there has been moderate warming, we turn to computer models to see if humans are to blame and what will happen to the earth's climate in the future. These models are complex because climate depends on thousands of things, from Antarctic sea ice to sub-Saharan soil conditions. While the electronic simulations are monuments to the ingenuity and perseverance of their creators, they provide us with, at best, a fuzzy view of the future. They have difficulty handling factors like clouds and ocean currents (two major influences on climate), and if you fed the climate...
Aquaculture--fish farming--has established beachheads from Maine to the tropics, from the South Pacific to the North Sea. Raising fish in enclosed pens is a complex and controversial process that can pose enormous environmental problems, but if done right, it holds great promise for feeding millions of people and providing vast numbers of jobs...
Sure, why not? Scientists used to think it would be difficult to clone an animal as complex as a mammal, but Dolly the sheep neatly demolished that theory. If you can clone a sheep, a human isn't much tougher. Whether it is ethical to do so is another matter, and in fact human cloning has been outlawed in a number of countries and states. But illegal or not, someone's going to do it--and having been conceived by a convicted felon is no bar to public office...
