The fiction I was referring to was the DaVinci Code, not any of the stuff they referenced later in the article.
If it was actually a "scientific" journal, the article should have just been this part: | Quote: | | Brown says on page 8: ‘In this work of fiction, the characters, places and events are either the product of the author’s imagination or they are used entirely fictitiously.’ |
|
And other journals also publish about religious matters such as Abiogenesis as well. Whats the difference? |

I guess I'm just the unsolemn majority on this one, aren't I? I should just claim I'm some guy who's trying to impersonate me on Panda's Thumb. That would really satisfy him here I suppose. |

Are these supposed to be papers supporting creationism, or did you just randomly go out and find papers? (Because that's what it looks like you did.) _________________ "Men never do evil so completely and cheerfully as when they do it from religious conviction."

According to P123, none....
The bugs actually wasn't my PHD thesis, but it was peer reviewed research that I've performed.
But according to my thesis - Title: Cellulose digestion in insects
Author(s): Martin, Michael M.
Issue Date: 1983
Publisher: Elsevier
Citation: Martin, Michael M. (1983)."Cellulose digestion in insects." Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part A: Physiology 75(3): 313-324.
Abstract: 1. 1. Cellulose digestion has been demonstrated in the Thysanura (Lepismatidae), Orthoptera (Cryptocercidae, Blattidae). Isoptera (Mastotermitidae. Kalotermitidae. Hodotermitidae, Rhinotermitdae, Termitidae). Coleoptera (Buprestidae. Anobiidae, Scarabaeidae, Cerambycidae), and Hymenoptera (Siricidae).2. 2. In all but the scarab beetles, cellulose digestion is brought about by a complex of three types of enzymes (C1-cellulases, Cx-cellulases, and cellobiases), as in fungi.3. 3. Many insects are able to synthesize their own Cx-cellulases and cellobiases, but few (if any) can synthesize C1-cellulases.4. 4. Insects compensate for their inability to synthesize C1-cellulases by exploiting the cellulolytic potential of protozoa, bacteria, or fungi.5. 5. The maintenance of permanent populations of hindgut protozoa, the maintenance of permanent populations of hindgut bacteria, and the ingestion of fungal cellulases are described as three distinct mechanisms by which insects have been shown to use the cellulolytic potential of microorganisms.6. 6. A process in which ingested cellulolytic bacteria proliferate in one region of the gut at the expense of ingested cellulose, only to be digested and assimilated in a more posterior section, is a fourth possible mechanism by which insects might accomplish the digestion of cellulose with the help of microorganisms.
That was up at the University of Michigan where I was doing some research at the time.
Though I never actually formally attended the University of Michigan, I did do some research work up there.
1983-1984. Graduate Research Assistant. Division of Biological Sciences, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI 48109; characterization of digestive system of Manduca sexta; Michael M. Martin, P.I.
My original thesis paper in 1977 was on neurological effects. So not directly with insect related topics. But I do have some other experience in Insect Physiology as well. |

Sure, but it also had to do with Neurological effects! Thats the title of my Thesis however.
Grow up, P123. This is getting quite absurd.  |

'Your' web page describes your thesis thusly:

Are not amino acids found in hemoglobin? I'm going to teach you something useful, which is what is known as "complimentery truths." These are often overlooked in the Bible as well, and thought to be contradictions. |

What do the hemoglobin, the swine, and the insects have to do with the neurotransmitters?

Ever heard of insect neurotransmission? |
