Guy walks up to the bar and orders, “Gimme a Helix, bartender. And make it a double.” I know you’ve heard of the Double Helix. It packs a powerful punch. But there’s no hangover the next morning.

And I’m guessing that you might already be aware of how your DNA starts decomposing the moment you die. Am I right? Well, it does. And apparently before 1990 almost no one believed DNA … The rest of the story…
You and I are fearfully and wonderfully made. Here’s scientific proof. You’ve heard of a double helix…right? It’s the best image scientists have come up with, so far, to represent Deoxyribonucleic Acid…also known as DNA. And DNA is scientific proof you and I are fearfully and wonderfully made. Not merely carbon copies of carbon lifeforms. Even the term “carbon lifeforms” contradicts itself. … The rest of the story…

Yeah, scientists have discovered some areas of impact on the “minor planet” that seem to show collisions with carbon rich asteroids. And of course, they emphasize that carbon is the essential building block … The rest of the story…
