When people who are obese, restrict their eating to between 7am and 3pm, they start slimming 7.6 kilograms in 14 weeks.
The practice of 16/8 intermittent fasting involves limiting your intake of foods andcalorie-containing beverages to a set window of 8 hours per day.

In plants, rapid evolution is of a
dominant marsh sedge Schoenoplectus
americanus can alter the heritable variation of the biomass. This
accounts for differences in sediment accreation and marsh elevation,
factors that influence a marsh’s resilience to rises in sea level,
So this does not have to do with
Darwinian evolution, in the goo to you version.

According to evolution, the Arctic was a warm, swampy
place during the Eocene. Yet two primates lived there.
They lived during the Eocene epoch (56 million to 33.9 million years ago,, and according to evolution, a period of intense planetary warming. -
They were small, at 2 kilos pr 5 pounds each, genus Ignacius, and were given the names of I. dawsonae and I. mckennai .

Some asteroids are very hard to break. According to evolution, dust particles survived at least 4.2 billion years or near the age of the solar system.
The Japanese gathered dust from the ´surface of a 500 meter or 1640 foot long Itokawa, and it would seem that they are harder to destroy than previously thought, -
"NASA tracks the locations and orbits of roughly 28,000 asteroids", some of which might be deadly to us.

Depression is a malady that effects most of us. It can not be cured by antidepressant drugs restoring levels of a brain-signalling chemical called serotonin,
But now we know depression isn’t actually caused by low serotonin.
,How about giving glory to God, for the beauty that is in us,

What is the difference between children and chimpanzees? When it comes of heredity, people are much smarter than chimps, having genes that control the way they focus on a thing and take their focus off it.
A ¨test in which children were forced to choose rules or instructions for instance by choosing a different way when their route is blocked by roadworks. the test showed that children over the age of five could easily switch their focus from one task to another.Taylor, Luke. 2023. Children aged 5 are better at switching their attention than chimps. New Scientist 18 January.

Volcanoes can very drastic effects in the world, for instance by filling the earth with a volcanic plume into the mesosphere global-scale as well as wave motions in Earth’s lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.
They also cool

A loss pf a gene in hummingbirds led to increased muscle energy, according to Darwinists. They know little of its purported evolution,
But they say that Osipova et al, found that a gluconeogenic muscle enzyme, FBP2, was lost as hovering flight evolved. They
are assured that this loss of a gene can be adaptive.
Some researchers have
found soft tissue in a 47 million year old bird. This would call for
questioning the evolutionary dogma of millions of years.

A comet that is called C/2022
E3 WILL come near us in the future. On Thursday January 12 it will be at perihelion, its closest point to the sun when we see a coma.
The
comet could be visible near the northern sky constellation Corona Borealis and
then will move westward as time goes on. By Feb. 1, when the comet makes its
closest approach to Earth, at 45 million kilometres or 28
million miles the comet could be visible near the northern sky constellation
Corona Borealis, and then will move
westward as time goes on.
Many comets have
elliptical paths that bring them very close to the sun. A comet loses much of
its material each time it approaches the sun. It has been estimated that
a comet will loose all its mass in under 100 000 years. This is a serious problem
for the secular view of a 4.6 billion year old solar system. If the solar
system were that old, we should not see any comets.

If our world was made by Darwinian ways, who do not the vast universe also teem with life?
But they have not responded to Earth´s calls. "Maybe aliens are waiting for the exact right
moment, Aliens may be waiting
until a cosmic version of "high noon" to send out all but two of the
signals were determined to be due to interference.
Telescope to
search for radio signals from 12 exoplanets
whose transits were observable during a brief window in March 2018. In a new study, researchers hunted for technological
signs of E.T. during the moments when exoplanets pass directly in front of
their suns, from Earth's point of view. These exact moments could be the
perfect chance for an alien world to beam out a signal to Earthlings in an
attempt to make contact their signals to us, scientists have suggested.
The remaining two, a
couple of short bursts from Kepler-1332b and Kepler-842b — both potentially
rocky planets larger than Earth — were deemed worthy of further follow-up.
However, Sheikh said, those two are also almost certainly due to interference
and are not real messages."

Millions of years ago, the earth did not have an ozone layer. This is the
speculation some Darwinists have made. They say that it happened during the Permian extinction, when about 90 per cent of marine species and 70 per cent of land
ones died.
But what happened to the rest of the animals? We have the tardigrades have been persent since the present since the Cambrian strata “530 million years” ago.

For
evolutionists, finding a hot Jupiter right in front of a star would put star forming
strategies out of order. An exoplanet

Darwinists are hailing the Chernobyl frogs' rapid evolution, It brings to mind the peppered moth. ,
The peppered moth (Biston betularia) is one of the most famous icons of evolution that Darwinists have treasured since the Victorian times. Darwinian evolution would be in big trouble without mutation.
A paper
published in Nature in 2016 examined the genetic changes that made the
peppered moth famous. Dr Ilik Saccheri, at the University of Liverpool, one of
the co-authors of the study, believes that a mutation occurred in a transposable element (TE or
transposon) probably in 1819, helping the moth to adapt to a darker industrial
world.
While the darker moths were better able to survive
in cities, the lighter variety did not die out, and since the 1960s, their
numbers have increased considerably, as the air in urban centres has become
cleaner.
Evolution needs change and this requires mutations that are like typos in a blog post
Typos seldom improve a post.
The nuclear accident in Fukushima shows why
mutations are no friends of the evolutionist. They have damaged the
butterflies’ wings.
Natural selection cannot make use of such mutations.
So this it what live science
says of the matter. "Eastern tree frogs with high concentrations of the dark
pigment melanin in their skin were more likely to survive the Chernobyl nuclear disaster than their highlighter-yellow counterparts, a
recent study suggests. The frogs' dark skin may have helped protect them from
the damaging effects of radiation. Today, frog populations within the
radioactive contamination zone are significantly darker than those outside the
zone. "
