The Atheist Conundrum


Listen especially to the point when Richard Dawkins utters what has to be described as only 'laughable' -- which is what the audience is forced to do when he exposes his foolishness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AC5PzoXxRc0

Anti-Diuretic Hormone

The pituitary gland is separated into two sections – the anterior pituitary and the posterior pituitary. The gland is located at the base of the brain and secretes many different hormones. One – from the posterior gland – is called Vasopressin. It is also called anti-diuretic Hormone (ADH). When specialized cells in the body sense an increase in the blood ratio of particles such as sodium, urea, and glucose to the water content, the posterior pituitary gland secretes ADH to normalize that ratio. Too many particles cause water within the cells all over the body to dehydrate. Too few particles, and cells in the body will swell and burst. Depending on circumstances such as the ambient humidity and temperature, exercise, and diet, when ADH works properly, the kidneys of the healthy adult excrete approximately one to two quarts of water each day through urination. When ADH does not work properly – things go terribly wrong. Diabetes Insipidus (not to...

Lucky About Renin

Our blood nourishes and oxygenates every cell in our body. But that blood could not reach those cells without a pressure behind it, forcing it through our body. Just as important, if that pressure decreases too much and for too long – minutes in some cases for the brain and heart – death will occur. So, it just so happens, through a series of physiological events far too complicated for our purposes here, the body maintains blood pressure within a relatively narrow range. One of the ways it does this is through a hormone (renin) produced by the kidneys. For the sake of simplicity, when the kidneys sense a decrease in circulating blood volume (a low circulating blood volume translates into low blood pressure), they secrete renin. Renin travels through the blood system to the liver where it is converted to a substance called angiotensin 1. Angiotensin 1 then travels to the lungs where it is converted into angiotensin 2 (A2). Here is where it gets down to the business of increa...
