Over the past couple of decades, however, engineers armed with an array of high-tech materials and sophisticated ideas about angular momentum and moments of inertia have transformed the sport--and, most notably, the bowling ball. Nowadays the ball comes with a dizzying array of options, each imparting a different spin and roll. So where serious bowlers used to carry just one ball to the lanes, they now haul around half a dozen or more to be ready for whatever conditions they might encounter. "It's just like a golfer carrying 14 different clubs," says Bill Wasserberger, director...

Like any scientific theory, it can't explain how every aspect of every organism came to be, but each time scientists find new evidence-fossils of dinosaurs bearing feathers; fossils of the mammals whose descendants are whales; the molecular structure...
