“Ants offer special advantages for some important kinds of basic biological research. The colony is a superorganism. It can be analyzed as a coherent unit and compared with the organism in the design of experiments, with the individuals treated as the rough analogues of cells.” KindImportantIndividualSpecialDesignOffersResearchAdvantageExperimentsTreatedCellsRoughOrganismsUnitsAntsColonyAnalogue Author:Bert Holldobler

The pollution not only of air, water, and other substances, but also the unperceived pollution of distances.” WaterAirOffersResearchAreasDistanceResponseSubstancePollutionInitialsEcologicalCircuitsViralContamination Book:Open Sky Source: Open Sky
“If Christianity cannot present evidence that the soul is immortal, then they have nothing to offer the masses, eternity in heaven with God or hold over their heads suffering forever in hell. They need the immortality of the soul. I did my research, it's not in the Bible, so what do they do? They relied on Judaism, which has always believed in the immortality of the soul.

Their remark that Judaism probably got the immortality of the soul from the Greeks, so I go back further, where it all started with Plato.” IfsNeedsLooksSoulSufferingHeavenChristianityHellForeverOffersMassResearchEvidenceEternityImmortalityGreekImmortalPlatoJudaismRemarksAlways BelieveEncyclopedia Author:Vincent Bugliosi
