Cellular Carginogens

We've all heard this nasty rumor before: cellphones can lead to cancer if used too much.  Well, it turns this rumor is actually true.  An international study and team of experts found that cellphones are possibly carcinogenic, ranking them with the likes of gasoline exhaust and DDT.  So what does this all mean?  That we should drop our precious iPhones, Androids and Crackberries right this instant?  No.  It just means that once again, more research needs to be done on the topic.  Especially since it's really too soon to tell the actual effects of extended cellphone usage, since no study has been conducted for a long enough time period for such effects to be even visible.  However, maybe we should be aware of the amount of time we spend gabbing away on these handy devices because it will be awhile before science is able to prove anything, and by then it might be too late.

Science & Religion

Science and religion are like oil and water to most people, they just don't mix.  In fact, science competes with and attempts to override religion in most cases, and vice versa.  But, this week celebrations of Galileo took place, and even the Catholic Church was involved.  In a sort of truce between the two competing forces, both joined together to celebrate Galileo's achievements.

I'm glad that such an event could occur because I don't think it always needs to be science against religion. I think there is often a middle ground, which should be explored and accepted more often.

What do you think?
