Robert Lee Hotz And John Johnson write in the Los Angeles Times that it may be possible for evil to be passed down genetically to family members. They examine families in which several generations have committed the same types of terrible crimes.

Scientists now know that genes influence our behavior. But can our behavior change our genes and can we then pass on our defective genes to our children? New research is revealing that life experiences can alter the biochemistry of many genes. “The new way of looking at this is that different experiences turn different genes on and off,” says psychologist Seth Pollak. “Experience matters.”

A congregation in Ohio heard their preacher ask for a sign from God just before their church was struck by lightning.

David Whitehouse writes in bbcnews.com that astronomers have found a planetary system that’s similar to ours, with a big, Jupiter-like planet circling a Sun-like star.

Of the more than 100 planetary systems we know about, this is the one that is closest to our own.

Although astronomers have only seen the largest orbiting planet so far, they think it’s likely that there are smaller planets, like ours, in the inner orbits. The solar system is 95 light-years away, which is close in astrological terms. This means that if we could travel at the speed of light, we’d reach it in about 100 years.
