understand it. It’s not a religion and it’s not a criticism of science, just a common sense approach. It’s good that science asks questions but it often goes further and dismisses anything it can’t control. If someone who is suffering finds something that works for them – if it can’t be scientifically proved that doesn’t mean it isn’t working

Supporting Aardy and anon. Many things are already in place until science tries to prove or understand it. It’s not a religion and it’s not a criticism of science, just a common sense approach. It’s good that science asks questions but it often goes further and dismisses anything it can’t control. If someone who is suffering finds something that works for them – if it can’t be scientifically proved that doesn’t mean it isn’t working. Just means science hasn’t discovered why yet.
Way to go Paul. Maybe that’s what some of the more reactionary scientists are frightened and defensive of!

Personally – i believe that natural substances can cure these problems combined with positive thinking.

” The researchers thought the taste receptors MIGHT HAVE EVOLVED as a protection against toxic plants.”

Though I throughly believe in evolution, I must defend Aardey byi saying that they scientists said it might have evolved. In other words, they don’t know, and Aardey never said she was a creationist. He/she simply stated that it was possible that our lungs were always like this.

Evolutionary science IS science: the process of asking questions. Creationism is not: it’s the process of accepting the lack of answers. As such, creationists clearly do NOT accept science on its very basic level. Evolutionusm is open and progressive; creationism is closed and static. Creationist ideas are NOT scientific, and don’t belong on a science board as valid discussion. While creationists may understand the “basic science,” (facts discovered by scientists asking questions) they do not accept science’s basic premise that everything is questionable. Therefore, on a very basic level they do not understand science. Accepting that at the present moment some things are unknowable (as Einstein did) does not mean that the final answer is God. It means we have something else to explore. An open system, as opposed to a closed one. Two different realities. Scientists understand God the way Creationists understand Science. Two different things.

This is incredibly fascinating! I suffered from mild asthma as a child and I can not wait to see how this newfound research will pan out. I do agree with Anon. Shouldn’t there be organic substitutes that will accomplish the same goals as the medication? After all, this bodily reaction is induced from contact with “bitter” organic substances like poisonous plants anyways.

By the way, I really do not appreciate your hatred for creationists or intelligent design sympathizers, Me. There is absolutely nothing to be attained by you bashing someone that thinks differently than you. Not only that, but believing theory of intelligent design does not make you incapable of understanding science and fact (some of the greatest biologists/physicists in history believed in intelligent design. ex. Gregor Mendel and Albert Einstein) . I do understand that some creationists are close minded and ignorant to the ways of science but please, be more understanding.

I agree with Anon, that was incredibly rude and uncalled for.
I’m not at all a believer in creationism, but it doesn’t mean i have to insult those that are by default.

I’d like to know if anything more has come of this? Because it’s a really interesting discovery that could help so many people!

This gives me comfort (as a mild asthmatic) to know that we are making scientific progress towards finding a cure, I know the article’s contents aren’t a step towards it, but it is still progress and it brings me a sense of calm knowing we are making stride. Thank you for all the work those who were involved with this discovery.
