It's a little bit in the genes because my brother is a journalist and my father was a sports writer.

According to materialistic science any memory requires a material substrate such as the neuronal network in the brain or the DNA molecules of the genes.

And of course identifying all human genes and proteins will have great medical significance.

I think that different pleasures work for different readers - a friend of mine won't read anything that's not a cardiovascular sort of page-turner. I tend to care less about plot but I'm a sucker for humor and strangeness.

With our knowledge of modern-day genetics we realize that it was possible for God to place the potential for all people throughout history into the genes of Adam and Eve when He created them.

We can't understand when we're pregnant or when our siblings are expecting how profound it is to have a shared history with a younger generation: blood genes humor. It means we were actually here on Earth for a time - like the Egyptians with their pyramids only with children.

I don't have a problem believing in God and Jesus. But in Genesis one has to wonder about these sentences that just go on and end without finishing. The thought is unfinished. Where did Adam go? What is he doing? Hello? There has to be some pages missing.

I couldn't wait to look at someone who shared my genes. I thought my baby was going to provide a decoder key to my past. But then I looked at Pippa and realized no she's actually the key to my future.

While weight loss is important what's more important is the quality of food you put in your body - food is information that quickly changes your metabolism and genes.

The public should know that the liability issues here have yet to be resolved or even raised. If you're a farmer and you're growing a genetically engineering food crop those genes are going to flow to the other farm.

Chicken fat beef fat fish fat fried foods - these are the foods that fuel our fat genes by giving them raw materials for building body fat.

It is from the progeny of this parent cell that we all take our looks we still share genes around and the resemblance of the enzymes of grasses to those of whales is in fact a family resemblance.

Dating is just awkward moments and one person wants more than the other. It's just that constant strangeness. I think it's a very real thing.

My dad was a good athlete. My mom had longevity. There were some athletic genes that certainly got passed down.

I would ask my dad what he did and he'd say 'I listen to people's problems.' In some way what he did for a living is in my genes.

I'm really really lucky. I was given my dad's good genes.

Survival in the cool economics of biology means simply the persistence of one's own genes in the generations to follow.

The world is a crazy beautiful ugly complicated place and it keeps moving on from crisis to strangeness to beauty to weirdness to tragedy. The caravan keeps moving on and the job of the longform writer or filmmaker or radio broadcaster is to stop - is to pause - and when the caravan goes away that's when this stuff comes.

We also maintain - again with perfect truth - that mystery is more than half of beauty the element of strangeness that stirs the senses through the imagination.

There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.

The strangeness will wear off and I think we will discover the deeper meanings in modern art.

It is the addition of strangeness to beauty that constitutes the romantic character in art.

If you talk to geneticists they are constantly finding that your genes are being switched on and off because of the environment. Genes alone do not determine an exact path in your life.

In Genesis it says that it is not good for a man to be alone but sometimes it is a great relief.
