In some communities, man tried to build his paradise by establishing the highest level
of modernisation with the highest standard of living. However, unfortunately, he
found that this was accompanied with the highest percentage of those who commit
suicide, suggesting that the people felt unhappy in that paradise, to the extent
that some lost interest in living. But, I wonder, how will it be in Heaven's
everlasting paradise? Can anybody imagine it?

 
Regarding the human skin colour, all humans make the same pigment melanin
and have much the same number of melanocytes, but the difference is in
how much melanin is produced. However, estimating the amount of the
sunlight reflected due to that difference showed that the European's
light skin transmits 3.5 times as much as the dark skin of Africans,
suggesting that suitability of the dark skin for adaptation to
sunnier latitudes depend on attributes different than
sunlight reflection. Now, what are these attributes?

 
 
 
 
 
 
The woman that beautiful creature, although she taught the man
how to be civilized, she always behaved instinctively and her
interests stayed as they were firstly created.
Woman's and man's lives become spicy if woman's interests
were aroused. But, why do the majority of the husbands neglect
such criteria?

 
 
 
 
 
Recent studies show that although all humans share 99.9
percent of their genetic material, single-letter differences
in their DNA sequences ensure that each individual is unique,
i.e. 0.1 percent difference is responsible of the difference in
shape and traits between the more than 6 billion humans existing
nowadays and between the more billions which will come in the
future to our world. Isn't that miraculous?

 
 
 
 
Why is human fertility lower in well-developed countries than
in the developing countries, although the conditions are more
favourable in the first ones, while it is unfavourable in the
second due to the sufferings from poverty, hunger and disease,
in addition to that most of the latter countries are situated
in the hot region and humans are exposed to the unfavourable
hot climate conditions that inversely affect fertility.
Some may report that there are some intentional reasons, but
what are the spontaneous ones, in such phenomenon?
Particularly, under the conditions in the hot climate region,
this is not clear: why is fertility higher in man, while it is
low in the big animals, although both are homeotherms and
originated, developed and lived, under the same conditions?

 
 
 
 
Some of the known dangerous diseases in either humans or animals seem to be
a result of unrational interference of man in the regular ways in which such
organisms really are and act. Particularly, the spread of AIDS disease in
humans is primarily due to sexuality that became common in some communities,
while naturally, it is a reserve for husband and wife in privacy. In animals,
the spread of the cow disease (B.S.E.) is due to feeding animal protein to
cattle which are originally herbivores, while the same disease does not
occur when feeding carnivores the same feedstuff.

A lesson from nature: The recent studies show that the lowly
bacterium may occupy a higher rank in the scheme of life than was
imagined, since they organize themselves into complex and tenacious
films (biofilms), differentiate, manufacture hundreds of proteins not
found in free floating cells and behave as a developmental process,
after they alight on a surface.

It seems that we may have to rediscover the traditional systems of
agriculture, since some of these systems have been highlighted by
modern agriculture.
