This is also a reason why religious people accept modern technology since we can observe it, but are less likely to accept the various conclusions of the scientific world about the past
10 Unexpected Scientific Reasons Why Old People Are Awesome - Listverse
Public health expert Emmanuel Ezekiel encourages health professionals to assist the elderly with sex education since sex comes naturally for people living in close proximity (in retirement homes, for example). University of Southampton psychologist Constantine Sedikide, notes that modern researchers are just really beginning to find out the psychological benefits of nostalgia

Atheists have the wonderful opportunity to think about the world, to consider the way the would like it to be, to consider how they would like to treat other people and how they would like to be treated themselves, and then to act on that. Reply D-Mart Says: March 21st, 2012 at 12:45 am As an atheist, I can say morality does not need to come from a belief of a higher being or a supernatural phenomena
The Many Myths Surrounding Charles Darwin
Whatever you believe about it, you can see why many Christians through the theory of evolution being presented up until the last century or so, and the Catholics from the beginning, have had no major problem with evolution. So these could not have come about as a result of random mutations unless each system of parts mutated into existence all at once, or each part was selected by itself even though it provided no advantage when it formed before the other parts of the system

Why Sales People Are the Highest Paid Employees... - Fistful of TalentFistful of Talent
While I agree that the more your bring, the more you should get paid, it is not entirely true to say that the success of a sale is wholely dependant on the salesperson. In short: we were targeting the wrong audience, introducing features borne out of a need to ensure commissions and, quite frankly, not getting very far as a result
Thoreau's Civil Disobedience - 1
He forthwith adopts one of the candidates thus selected as the only available one, thus proving that he is himself available for any purposes of the demagogue. Others, as most legislators, politicians, lawyers, ministers, and office-holders, serve the state chiefly with their heads; and, as they rarely make any moral distinctions, they are as likely to serve the devil, without intending it, as God

He doesn't know how lucky he is; how many tailors are there on the high seas who can fit a monkey for a pirate's outfit? Monkey magic: His post-credit appearance in the first Pirates movie. The primates in the opening scenes of Stanley Kubrick's epic sci-fi don't do much apart from scream, snarl and bash things, but they plant the seed for man's future destructive nature
Why Are So Few People Left-Handed?
Admittedly, these are only general guidelines, and most neural activities are shared between the hemispheres to some extent, but we can definitely say that many functions are primarily handled by one hemisphere as opposed to another. Birds and frogs, for instance, process the noises they make in one particular side of the brain, and there's no evidence of handedness in the way they use their limbs
Now I am zero carb (9 months now) eating just meat and my lifts at the gym have gone up, I have flat abs and tons of energy, clear skin, soft hair, etc. all primates, from our current lineage back through the fossil record of primates that have been discovered so far, show signs of some vestige of carnivorous activity
Buller on Evolutionary Psychology
In all likelihood, our Pleistocene ancestors, like the sample of hunter-gatherer societies discussed in Kelly (1995) or Gurven and Kaplan (2007), lived in diverse habitats, engaged in diverse economic activities within the rubric of hunting and gathering, had diverse social structures, met with diverse biotic and abiotic environmental challenges to survival and reproduction, and dealt with diverse hostile and harmonious relations with conspecifics outside of their natal groups or communities. I know of no convincing evidence that such variation exists and for this and other reasons, I remain a steadfast skeptic of the idea that natural selection has shaped all these important psychological mechanisms independently and with precision to the tasks to which they are supposed to represent engineering solutions

How scientists taught monkeys the concept of money. Not long after, the first prostitute monkey appeared
It was just as simple as giving a monkey a dollar and see what would happen, which was exactly the case, instead of the dollar, however, a silver disc with a hole in its center was employed a means of currency for the capuchins. Caring for people less fortunate than ourselves despite it not necessarily serving our own selfish needs at the time is a good thing, and interestingly, I note that a lot of Romney supporters are Christian
How The Arctic Monkeys Saved Rock 'N' Roll - Esquire
Though AM was recorded in California, where three-quarters of the band now ride motorbikes and date models, in fact the most significant factor in their upswing in fame might be their attitude to fame itself. The next week, the NME will pull its proposed cover (Beck) for a mocked-up picture of Turner as Lord Kitchener and a six-page story on the 146-word speech
Why did humans and monkeys evolve to hate the color red?
With all due respect for people who consider red their favorite color, the overwhelming cultural cues when it comes to red is that it's the color of danger and should be avoided - driving for as little as thirty seconds should present you with a traffic light or stop sign that's ample reminder of that. Assuming an aversion to red didn't evolve separately in humans and macaques, then it's a trait that goes back very far in our evolutionary history, to a time that we shared a common ancestor with Old World monkeys
How come there are still monkeys? - RationalWiki
It nicely highlights how our definitions might be a little arbitrary when put next to reality, but this has little bearing on the misconceptions underpinning the fallacy. Given a simplistic view of evolution, it's easy to assume that humans are more complex than monkeys and that consequently "humans evolved from monkeys"
With how big a human's brain and skull are vs a woman's pelvis, if we went to a higher gestational age we wouldn't be able to come out and it would cause infant and maternal death. I've heard various scientists try to bumble through hypothesis for why immobility is a evolutionary advantage and I'm sorry but no matter how you spin it - it is not an advantage
