FIVE 3D printers and a rescue robot were on display at the opening of the Shanghai Science Festival in the Pudong New Area yesterday. One of the highlights was the "Iron Man" rescue robot designed by students from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The robot has six iron feet and is controlled by remote instructions from a computer. It can carry up to 100 kilograms and keep walking for more than four hours on one battery charge. It can be used in rescue work from fires or nuclear radiation. Meanwhile, it was the second time 3D printers have been displayed to the public after their debut earlier at Shanghai International Technology Fair. Visitors had the chance to watch the entire process of a plain model being printed into color. He Ming, regional manager of Beijing TierTime Technology Co Ltd, a producer of 3D printers, said: "3D printers can help children develop their imaginations by printing the models they design." The Shanghai Science Festival continues until Saturday. ...

Sundays With The Christianists: A Biology Textbook That Explains Science Is Mostly Atheists Making Things Up

Sun, 19 May 2013 15:00:45 GMT

Source: wonkette.com --- Sunday, May 19, 2013
You know what’s compelling about creationists? They are awfully good at making incredulity seem like Science: “Evolution is like believing that a tornado in a junkyard could build a 747″ and so on. Which means that we’re in for one last look at our tenth-grade Science textbook, Biology for Christian Schools, by William S. “Stop Calling Me Pinkie Pie” Pinkston. Last time, we looked at the totally convincing scientific evidence for Noah’s Flood (review: God said it did), so now, let’s take a brief look at why most biologists are lying (it is because they hate God). To start with, let’s just reject the notion of common origins, because all life was created by God, after all: there is no history of evolution recorded either by man or by fossils. This lack of evolutionary records does not disturb most evolutionists because they believe they have a model of how evolution took place. This model is often illustrated by a phylogenetic tree — a line-up of organisms based on how they are supposedly related in an attempt to show the path that evolution has taken. It is quite natural to notice similar facial features in different members of one family. But people who look very much alike may be entirely unrelated. One organism may have characteristics similar to another organism’s but not be related to it at all. Haha, why would anyone think that people from different families are all related, unless they read the part of Biology For Christia ...
