Heart Surgeon Takes Notes from da Vinci
vivekg writes "Leonardo da Vinci probably never thought he had the proverbial Holy Grail to a revolution in heart surgery. Almost 500 years after da Vinci's death, intricate diagrams of the human heart made by him have inspired a British surgeon to pioneer a new way to repair damaged hearts."
We always knew that Da Vinci was ahead of his time. Now we know just how far. :-)
Ignore Alien Orders
Am I the only one who expected the actual newly-discovered method to be described, but didn't find it in this fluff article?
I feel... cheated. RTFAing doesn't pay.
Shame to you and all who are self-righteous "Christians". We are tired of your blasphemy and false-teaching. Christ himself said to beware of the false-prophets, and I have learned in my years who He meant. The fundamental theory of science is that there are only natural interactions in the universe. What you are suggesting is like saying my cold is caused by an imaginary troll living in my chest. It can't be proven, or even provided concrete evidence, therefore it violates the scientific method. No one ever said that Religion, science, and philosophy were the same thing. I am a man who follows the christian faith, follows various philosophies (most of which share many ideals with the Bible), and I follow what science says. Science is never concrete solid fact. That is the point of science. Theories cannot be proved, but evidence can support them. If some new evidence comes up, the theory is altered. Religion is different. You don't alter your faith every time someone speaks out against christianity. I'm not sure that someone with such a hateful message has faith, however. Christ specifically said to the Pharisees, the self-righteous of his time, that "tax-collecters and prostitutes" were entering heaven all the time. He also said that the rich have less of a chance of getting to heaven than a camel has of going through the eye of a needle. Many literalists contend He meant the wealthy, but I am inclinded to believe that he meant "rich" as in an Earthly person. Wealth is not evil; idolitry is the evil. Jesus in fact promoted freedom of thought, but obviously people like you have fallen victim to the opposite. I wish "Christians" (especially the self-righteous bastards like you) would read the Bible and not just listen to your propaganda preachers. In fact, up the ante. Why not go and read the original Greek and Aramaic. The messages will no doubt surprise you and might upset you. You are the work of Satan! Get thee behind me!
