  • Why does human head hair and facial hair continue to grow?

    Why isn't human head hair and facial hair short like most dogs? Not looking for physiological reasoning, looking for reasons based on evolution. Thanks

  • Has anyone had this feeling? (read below)?

    This is an odd question that I always wanted to ask but haven't got to it. I also realize it is going to be near impossible to describe since its more of an experience, but here it goes. This usually happens when I am unhappy or depressed about something. However, this is not always the case. Sometimes I start thinking about myself. I kind of see myself from an outside view. I kind of realize what I am. It becomes very difficult to think about. It usually leads to muscle tension and brain tension. Sometimes I also get light headed from thinking about it. It has happened to me so much that I can not think about it, no matter what my mood is, if I concentrate hard enough. However, the tension still occurs. I don't think anyone will know what I am talking about at all unless it has happened to you as well. Has this happened to anyone before or am I alone?

  • Is Biological Systems Engineering a good or bad Major?

    I am thinking about majoring in Biological Systems Engineering. Is it hard finding a job with this degree? I herd that it is hard finding a job with a bachelors in Biomedical engineering because it is not traditional, not considered a real engineering degree, and many would rather have mechanical engineers. Is Biological Systems with a minor in biomedical engineering just as bad as biomedical engineering?

  • Do you think humans could be "improved via genetic engineering?

    Why or why not? Asked this question because to me it seems like everything you could do to "improve" people has its downfalls as well, just like evolutionary trade offs. If your answer is yes, then how?

  • Creationist, why do you believe in intelligent design over evolution?

    There is just so much evidence for evolution while there is no good evidence (that I am aware of) for creationism. What evidence are you aware of for it? If there isn't any, why do you believe it?

  • What do you think of asceticism?

    What do you think of asceticism, particularly in regards to acquiring happiness. In seems like many philosophies/religions such as Buddhism and Epicureanism believe in some form of it. So, you would think it would work. However, I could not imagine myself as being happy if I gave up say watching college football with friends and watching a good movie every now and then. I can understand not getting attached to these things. However, do you think giving them up will make you more happy in the long run?

  • Is this a Crime?

    If you go up to a bank teller and politely ask "May you please hand over the money in the drawer?" and you don't have a weapon or anything. If they do it, is it a crime? After all, all you did is ask a question and you didn't threaten them or anything. I would obviously assume its a crime. However, it is a very odd situation. What would happen in court?

  • How did large dinosaurs lay eggs?

    How did the really large dinosaurs like Argentinosaurus lay eggs? Eggs can only get so large until oxygen can't diffuse through them. From what I read it seems most people believe these dinosaurs slept standing up. If they chose to lay down, could they get back up? If not, how did they lay eggs without them cracking when they hit the floor? This is just one of those questions that kept popping in my head, but I never actually asked it till now. Thanks guys!

  • What would happen if a gamma ray burst hit Earth?

    A long time ago I read about how a potential gamma ray burst could hit Earth within the next 500,000 years from 8,000 light years away. The worst case scenario would be about a 25% drop in Earth's ozone. After searching into this I found that for every 1% decrease in ozone, UV B radiation would increase by 2%. This gives Earth a 50% increase in UV B radiation. Now, what this means, I don't know. Thats why I'm consulting you fine scientists out there. Now, obviously there would be an increase in skin cancer and obviously the side of Earth facing the gamma ray blast would be a little screwed, but what about the other side of Earth? What would happen to Earth? Would black people survive? Would lighter skinned people survive if they wore sunscreen outside all the time?

  • If you had the power to transform into any animal what would it be?

    Just saw the Animorphs is up on netflix. I love those books. So what animal would you transform into? Pick two. One for fun and one for practicality and usefulness. For example, you might not want to choose a tiger for the second one since many people would be afraid of you and probably shoot at you.

  • Question for Christians?

    Why did you choose the religion you did? I suppose this question is mainly pointed out to Christians who don't have Christians as parents. This is meant to be a serious question. However, I hope you guys don't involve "believe it because of your parents", "faith", or "believing it because other people believe it" in your answers as these are logical fallacies and many religions believe faith is important. So, why do you believe in Christianity and the Bible over other books like the Quran or Torah that predicts Jesus as just as a profit. Or why don't you believe in Hinduism, Buddhism, or Sikhism? Why don't you believe in those religions? I would also appreciate it if atheist don't respond to this question as it is not directed at them. Thanks!

  • What evidence is there for Jesus existing?

    This isn't meant to be a religious question but a historical one. I personally don't believe Jesus was the son of God. However, I don't have an opinion on wether or not Jesus actually existed. I have herd most historians believe an actual Jesus existed. However, I know others don't. What kind of evidence is there for Jesus? Additionally, besides the Bible, is there other first hand evidence of Jesus performing miracles? I'm particularly interested in primary sources. However, other sources will work for me if there appears to be a good reason they are accurate. Thanks guys!
