THE ORIGIN OF BIRDS AND FLIGHT

There are more than 10,000 species of birds on Earth, each of which possesses its own unique features. Hawks have very sharp eyes, broad wings and pointed talons. Plovers, weighing just a few hundred grams, flap their wings for 88 hours non-stop on the journey of 4,000 kilometers (2,485 miles) that they make every winter, crossing the ocean without mishap. With their ability to imitate sounds including human speech, parrots are among the cleverest of living things. Although anatomy of their mouths is wholly different—they have no teeth or lips, for instance—they are able to produce sounds very similar to those they hear. With their long beaks, the hummingbirds—the smallest known species of birds—can feed on flower nectar and the small insects they find inside flowers.
In order to feed, they needs to hover in the air in front of the flower, and with its specially created features, they are the only species of bird able to do so. Jays bury the bonito fish they collect for later use. With their powerful memories, they are able to find and extract these fish even after nine months have passed, in forests where every tree resembles every other.
The way that birds show devoted behavior towards their young is also most striking. Some birds construct highly intricate nests, taking account of a great many factors during their construction. Birds living by the seashore, for example, build nests that cannot be flooded, using the appropriate materials for this. They even calculate how their future young should come to no harm in the event that water levels rise. Some marsh-dwelling birds build nests with high walls so that their eggs cannot be blown out by the wind.
How are such different types of nests, intelligent behavior and altruism, whose variety would fill many volumes, possible for these creatures, which are totally without reason or training?
It is impossible for them to have gradually developed the features they possess, because they could not have survived during the intermediate stages of any such process. Indeed, no creature has ever grown to perfection in stages, as evolutionists would have us believe. On the contrary, all different living groups have existed in their current perfect states ever since they first appeared in the Earth's geological strata.
This is scientific evidence that birds too were created, and this evidence represents a truth taught to human beings in the Qur'an: it is Allah, the Creator of all things, Who created these creatures with all the features they possess and the systems appropriate to them.
In verses, Allah reveals His dominion over the living world:
“. . . There is no creature He does not hold by the forelock.” (Surah Hud, 56)

What is Nano Medicine ?

The existing situation in the sphere of medicine, therapeutic methods of treatment and clinical psychology is determined to a considerable degree by discontent by practical means they have at their disposal. This actively prompts researches to search of new approaches to development of higher mental performance models and technologies of medical practice in the field of general therapy, contributing to creation of new effective methods of prevention and treatment of human diseases.  Modern medicine begins active use of nano-technologies gains and thus develops its new direction i.e. so called nano-medicine .  This article is a short analytic survey of nano-technologies that underwent clinic tests and have prospects of practical use in medical practice and pharmacy. In this article I will try to systemize and generalize problems and achievements of nano-medicine, a science that is not really wide existing, but only an incipient one. Leading scientists predict, it is t...

Penelitian : Ternyata Tumbuhan Juga Saling Berkomunikasi

Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa tumbuhan ternyata saling berkomunikasi. Para peneliti memodifikasi gen kubis yang memicu keluarnya gas saat permukaan tanaman dipotong atau dilubangi. Modifikasi gen itu demi membuktikan bahwa tanaman "saling berbicara". Peneliti menambahkan luciferase protein ke DNA sehingga emisi tanaman 'dapat dipantau di depan kamera. Luciferase protein menimbulkan cahaya kunang-kunang dalam gelap. Tanaman kubis yang daunnya dipotong dengan gunting mulai memancarkan gas - jasmonat metil - yang 'memberitahu' tumbuhan di lain bahwa ada bahaya di sekitar mereka. Dua tanaman kubis di dekat tanaman yang dipotong itu menerima pesan untuk melindungi diri. Mereka melindungi diri dengan memproduksi bahan kimia beracun pada daun untuk menangkis predator seperti ulat. Ini adalah untuk pertama kalinya proses tersebut tertangkap kamera. Para ilmuwan mengatakan penelitian itu makin memperbesar dugaan bahwa semua tanaman berkomunikasi satu ...

Short Descripton About Mesothelioma Diagnosis

How do medical professionals diagnose mesothelioma? If you believe that you may have mesothelioma, a qualified medical professional will use a variety of diagnostic tests and methods to confirm the presence of the disease. The first step that mesothelioma doctors will take in evaluating an asbestos related disease is to obtain a full medical history to determine the level and severity of mesothelioma risk factors and presenting mesothelioma symptoms. This interview will consider among other things, where asbestos exposure occurred, the length of exposure and the amount of asbestos that you were exposed to.
