En 1859, más de tres siglos más tarde, otro hombre revolucionario publicó "Sobre el origen de las Especies", en donde también se vertían nuevas y radicales ideas sobre la naturaleza de la vida. El título de esta página no es más que una alusión (espero que no presuntuosa) a esta semejanza, porque si bien separados por varios siglos, ambos personajes fueron prácticamente tratados de herejes y ambos han sido los artífices de sendas revoluciones científicas y del pensamiento humano.

Sigo con mi ambición inicial: divulgar lo que constituye una de las ramas más apasionantes de la Ciencia.

Water is dangerous This was found on the newsgroup: rec.humor.funny A student at Eagle Rock Junior High won first prize at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair, April 26. He was attempting to show how conditioned we have become to alarmists practicing junk science and spreading fear of everything in our environment. In his project he urged people to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of the chemical "dihydrogen monoxide." And for plenty of good reasons, since: it can cause excessive sweating and vomiting it is a major component in acid rain it can cause severe burns in its gaseous state accidental inhalation can kill you it contributes to erosion it decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes it has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients He asked 50 people if they supported a ban of the chemical. He feels the conclusion is obvious.
