In one of the first successful attempts at genetically engineering mosquitoes, Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) researchers have altered the way the insects respond to odors, including the smell of humans and the insect repellant DEET. The research not only demonstrates that mosquitoes can...
Virginia Tech researchers successfully used a gene disruption technique to change the eye color of a mosquito - a critical step toward new genetic strategies aimed at disrupting the transmission of diseases such as dengue fever. Zach Adelman and Kevin Myles, both associate professors of...
Chronic kidney disease changes the composition of intestinal bacterial microbes that normally play a crucial role in staving off disease-causing pathogens and maintaining micronutrient balance, according to UC Irvine researchers. This profound alteration of the gut microbial population may...
We could't help but share this excellent piece of socially-aware street art from our friends over at Healthy is the New Skinny. Apparently, a wheatpaste artist in Germany found H&M's highly Photoshopped ads (which got a lot of flak for using*excessively*tan models) to be in need of a little...
Even mild head injuries can cause significant abnormalities in brain function that last for several days, which may explain the neurological symptoms experienced by some individuals who have experienced a head injury associated with sports, accidents or combat, according to a study by Virginia...
A research group from the University of Leeds has shown that infection by the brain parasite Toxoplasma gondii, found in 10-20 per cent of the UK's population, directly affects the production of dopamine, a key chemical messenger in the brain. Their findings are the first to demonstrate that a...

Prophecies? Or is a lie? According to Islam, the Hebrew Scriptures and the Greek Scriptures were altered by the Jews and Paul, and are not Original, only the Koran is the True Book, How would the Jews know what to write in this text, for instance (there hundreds of other texts):

...lyrics inside)? I remember it was mostly vocal, and the only musical instruments heard were 1. reminiscent of a standing pipes kit (The thick, long pipes that get hit on the top with a wooden mallet), and 2. a wooden slatted percussion block.
A few of the lyrics I remember, I looked up, but...
