    Whats going on in the World

    Mixed emotions here. Personally, I'd have little to no guilt lying after being sworn in on the a book of fiction like the Bible. However, if those swearing me in would like total honesty from me, a copy of On The Origin of Species would keep me on the straight and narrow...

    As a career scientist I must regretfully inform you that this is not a published study, so the "Best Available Study" to date, like it or not, and I'm not a fan either, is the Diodati study.
