Aquaculture

This is my Aquaculture Blog - I am currently pursuing an Associate Degree in Aquaculture, with hopes of eventually obtaining a Ph.D. in Marine Biology. With a year in multimedia (Westwood College, Denver), of course my focus is on photography, including microscopy which has became a personal favorite hobby.

Thousand Dollar Question

Will somebody please point out where either term, "Create" or "Design," even appear in the text of Genesis, Epoch Three, related to the introduction of algae around hydrothermal vents on early earth, including forms of soft bodied, non-photosynthetic plant-life?

Genesis 1:11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth (tender) grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.
Genesis 1:12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed
after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself,
after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.

Still waiting....

Japan's Dolphin Slaughter.
Dolphin slaughter of Japan
On evolution and intelligence in cetacea.
Japan continues to allow the butcher of these magnificent and intelligent creatures, despite endangered species treaties ratified in over 150 governments (UN). Japan's indifference demonstrates its lack of respect for ocean waters and creatures living in them.
BTW, that does not qualify under commercial "fishing" because dolphin aren't fish! They're highly evolved, intelligent mammals, like us.

Black Book of Communism: Crimes, Terror, Repression
Meticulously detailing Communism's crimes from Russia in 1917 to Afghanistan in 1989, the soul-destroying connections between Marxist idealism and the violence committed in the name of Communism, a damning reckoning with a cumulative toll of victims under communist rule, estimated by the authors at between 85 and 100 million victims, dwarfs even the crimes of the Nazis. Concluding, they wonder forcefully why such "class genocide" is excused more easily than the Nazis' "race genocide."
