Tin

I never intended for this blog to be political or controversial, but some of science is just that. I caught on to reading Pharyngula, a science blog, and this video was posted recently. I have debated posting it, but I think it is extremely important to see all perspectives that people come from when discussing topics like evolution.

The narrator speaks really fast so I hope you can keep up! To read more about Pharyngula's reply to the video, click here. In his blog, Pharyngula explains his opposition to the movie with scientific discoveries. I am not here to sway anyone's ideas so believe what you choose...just be open and understanding to both sides.




 Fun Fact: Most items that bear the name tin (tin cans, tin foil, tin roofs, etc.) are not and were never made of actual tin. In common vernacular, tin refers to a thin sheet of any metal, not the element itself.

Fun Fact 2: At cold temperatures, tin turns from a silvery metal to a dark grey powder. This caused a problem for money made of tin, as the weather made things worthless. In Europe, pipe organs made of tin were known for having "tin pests" when the winters were cold, as the pipes would disintegrate.
