Molecular DNA Switch Found To Be The Same For All Life

ScienceDaily reports that "the molecular machinery that starts the process by which a biological cell divides into two identical daughter cells apparently worked so well early on that evolution has conserved it across the eons in all forms of life on Earth."

Of course, one could also say that the sameness of the DNA switch was because the design was so magnificent that it was used by the intelligent designer in every kind of living cell.

Scientists Discover Why Cornea Is Transparent And Free Of Blood Vessels, Allowing Vision

ScienceDaily reports that scientists at Harvard University are the first to learn why the cornea, the clear window of the eye, is free of blood vessels - a unique phenomenon that makes vision possible. The key, say the researchers, is the unexpected presence of large amounts of the protein VEGFR-3 (vascular endothelial growth factor receptor-3) on the top epithelial layer of normal healthy corneas.

No wonder Darwin shuddered and felt cold when he considered the eye...and he did not know the half of it.
