Where is the best place to find low-cost, easy-to-produce, natural, robust and non toxic antibiotics? Easy, in our own bodies. Nature so often provides the solutions we are looking for and, as an aside, that is why the preservation of species from extinction is so important. In this case the solution is natural antibiotics which University of California at Berkeley researchers have confirmed to exist in the tails of certain proteins called cytokeratins. These proteins help our eyes, for example, ward off infections. The eye’s cornea is remarkably free of pathogens and the research reveals something about how these wonderful proteins work. Once again, however, the research was not motivated by evolutionary theory. Read more

Also, Christians are enjoined to deny themselves, to die to themselves, even sometimes to the point of a martyr’s death. The ideal, indeed, is arguably, a hermit – about as unimpassioned as regards their personal survival as it’s possible to imagine, short of a single act of suicide.
‘Survival of the fittest’ hardly applies to Christianity’s adherents – unless one takes into account its crucial benison, in terms of the extraordinary lead it has afforded the West in empirical science.
So, how is it that it has lasted 2000 years (arguably more including its hebrew matrix), and, while currently declining apace in the West, in Africa it is by far the largest religion, and growing; as well as growing elsewhere in Asia. OK. Christianity’s contribution to science must have paid a large part in last two or three centuries, but hardly before.
‘Take up your cross daily and follow me.’ Is that the watch-word of a go-getter, fittest survivor? Apparently – but not ostensibly!
