Chemistry

Chemistry By Design is an interactive virtual flashcard that allows everyone to test their skills using known synthetic sequences. The goal is to display the reagents, starting materials and products for every single step used in constructing a natural product or pharmaceutical.
To better serve the community everyone is called to submit a synthetic sequence not yet included in the app. The app is available online or for iOs and Android devices.
Chemistry By Design is created by Professor Jon T. Njardarson (Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry, University of Arizona). 

Furthermore about Chemistry, Marie Curie Actions sometime ago presented a funny video: "Chemicals having a party".

Why science cannot prove the existence of God

The demonstration of God's existence on scientific and mathematical grounds is a topic that, after captivating thinkers like Anselm and Gödel, reappears in the recent book by Bolloré and Bonnassies. However, the book makes a completely inadequate use of science and falls into the logical error common to all arguments in support of so-called "intelligent design."

The demonstration of God's existence on rational grounds is a subject tackled by intellectual giants, from Anselm of Canterbury to Gödel, including Thomas Aquinas, Descartes, Leibniz, and Kant. However, as is well known, these arguments are not conclusive. It is not surprising, then, that this old problem, evidently poorly posed, periodically resurfaces.
