SARS-CoV-2 Origins: Lab Theory v Zoonotic Disease Transfer Theory ProponentsIf you've been following the debates about SARS-CoV-2 origins, you are aware that the battle between those emphasizing zoonotic transfer ("natural" explanation) versus lab escape is heating up.

Quite a few experts have recently lined up to suggest that the virus has lab origins while other experts deny such origins as probable. The news media are strangely aligning around these expe... read more

*"Coyotes"* "Is this world truly fallen? They say no. For there's the new moon, there's the Milky Way, There's the rattler with a wren's egg in its mouth, And there's the panting rabbit they will eat. They sing their wild hymn on the dark slope, Reading the stars like notes of hilarious music. Is this a fallen world? How could it be?

They don’t end with – and the moral of the story is – though. They leave it to the reader to figure them out. So in addition to being just plain fun to read they are wonderful teachers about life. Perhaps the best thing about this one is that we still use the expression it contains exactly the same way that the ancient Greeks intended it almost 3,000 years ago. That almost never happens.

How Pesticides Are Harming Soil EcosystemsThe first year after Jason Ward began transitioning his newly purchased conventional farm to organic production, he started seeing more earthworms in the soil beneath his corn, soybeans, and wheat fields. By the third year, he had spotted numerous nightcrawlers—big worms reaching up to eight inches long—on his 700-acre farm in Green County, Ohio. With conventionally farmed land, “anything synthetic is hurting the natural ecosystem of the soil,” said Ward, whose acreage is now largely certified organic. “As you transition away from that, the life comes back.” By life, Ward means th... read more
