science questions…? plz help!?

ok..well all of these questions are about muscles…so if you know ANY of them just put the # of the question(s) and answer it. thx

1.Are there preventative measures to prevent diseases from occurring and if so what are they?

2.What are some nutrients or supplements that can help your body to run more efficiently (with the muscular system)?

Independent study in Biochemistry?

I am a high junior who would like to take an independent study course next year.
I would like to study the Biochemistry of Immune System and Virology.
Are there any good college text books out there to do this?
And what kind of long term research projects should I consider doing?
*This course will also involve the study of HIV virus and how to increase the rate of production of antibodies by the B-cells.

Why does science still teach that organic life sprung from non-organic matter through a natural mechanistic?

The bible has long stated that we are from the dust and were created according to each kind of creature.

Yet by and large, the text books teach that organic life sprung from non-organic matter exclusively through a natural mechanistic process on a pre-biotic earth. That original life form then evolved into more complex life forms through a natural process of random mutations and natural selection. In a nutshell, the majority scientific hypothesis is that matter randomly acting on matter for a long period of time created everything we see.

How can nothing explode?
Where did all that matter and energy come from?
What caused its release?
How did this explosion of everything (from nothing) order itself?
How can simplicity become complexity?
Where did the chemical elements come from?
Where did the mathematical laws and physical properties come from?
How do we explain the design, complexity and fine-tuning inherent in spiral galaxies, solar systems, and stars?

How did life come from a rock?
How did a bird come from a lizard?
Why don’t we see birds come from lizards today?
Why are there no transitional fossils in our museums today?
Why have we never observed beneficial mutations?
Where did the information code in DNA come from?
Where did the language convention that interprets DNA come from?
How can we explain the random development of the human eye, reproductive system, digestive tract, brain, heart and lungs?
What about the subconscious mind?
What about love, morality, ethics, and emotions?

Can these things really evolve gradually and randomly over time?

I am really sick, any tips? Please help me!?

I have the most dreadful cold right now. I have these symptoms…

*Really runny nose(literally hasn’t stopped all day)
*Really stuffy nose(can hardly even breathe)
*Extremely congested headache
*Upset stomach
*Fever
*Really really really sore throat
*My ears have been clogged up ALL day(I can’t hear a thing!)

I feel just terrible! I have benchmarks this week, and tomorrow is review day for math! I have missed about 14 days of school this year(I have caught everything that has come around my town, twice). If you haven’t noticed, I have a screwed-up immune system. I really need some suggestions to get well ASAP! I MIGHT be able to review separately for math if I rest tomorrow……please help me! :-)

Thanks in advance
Amelia Anne
