Moreover, this theory should also explain why natural selection has favou...

that the authors conclude that Drosophila can be used as an instrumental model to elucidate the role of immune response as regulators of neuroprotection. In addition to Drosophila , much has been learnt from studying the zebrafish (Danio rerio) , appearing as an early vertebrate during evolution. The zebrafish has become an important organism for exploring defense mechanisms in innate immune re...

Among those who hold biblical views of the inspiration of the Scriptures certain interpretations of that chronology have, indeed, long been traditional. These may disagree as to the duration of the "days" of Genesis 1 but they have in common the opinion that the order of narration in that chapter coincides w...
