Science Vs Faith
Not faith in God, which cannot actually be refuted by “contradicting evidence”. Rather, faith in some religion and stories, some of which contradict known scientific facts (= theories proven beyond reasonable doubt), like Evolution.

A Vaccine for AIDS!
The wet dream of medical researchers has been achieved – the vaccine for AIDS is here (ready for clinical tests, that is).
After being with a biologist for 2 years, I can’t help but thinking this is not necessarily a good thing. Sure, the vaccine might work on 99.9% of the people, but there a good chance the rest of the viruses will evolve and mutate into something even more resistant.
Aya here says that it might even become airborne, since the vaccine is now messing with parts of the virus DNA which have been pretty constant now.
And the worst part is that none of this is can be tested in the lab. You can’t really predict what the outcome of releasing this “cure” will be by testing in a lab.
