James Bond is not a man, but a code name given to multiple agents. Possibly at the same time, or possibly only one James Bond at a time. This is why you see such radical changes in personality, age, and time frames of each mission and agent.
Science, eh?

What would happen if all humans suddenly became completely and permantly immune to infectious diseases?
Those that do not have a zoonotic source or pool would become extinct. Those that do would continue to be transmitted in their animal hosts. The human population would also greatly increase. The increased population would also put further strain on the worlds non renewable resources and those that are renewable but in short supply.
How can millions of parents expose their children for years to sex-drenched TV, radio, and print, yet be completely shocked when those same children get pregnant?
Teen pregnancy has little to do with media exposure alone and a lot to do with a culture that has a hypocritical view of sex. Combine the media saturation with a culture that also delivers the message that sex is bad should be avoided and you have a problem. The problem gets worse when you have a lack of good sex education. Teens should feel comfortable asking for and using condoms. They shouldn't feel like they are sneaking behind peoples backs and doing something wrong by having sex.
Explain the significance of the number .690.

What detector has been providing evidence that we are in fact part of a multiverse?
Hmm... not sure about this one. However no multiverse theory currently proposed predicts any phenomenon that would be considered a smoking gun if discovered. Some may predict phenomenon that might give tell tale evidence but nothing that couldn't also have other more plausible explanations. As to which detector I'm going to guess the Plank probe as it maps the CMB down to the finest detail and it's in this data that we are most likely to find any such clues.
What was Edwin Hubble's most significant discovery, and how did he come to discover it?
That the universe is expanding. He noticed that the spectra of galaxies were almost all red shifted and those that were the farthest away were the most red shifted. Meaning that all galaxies are moving away from us and moving away from us at a speed in proportion to their distance from us.
Outside of carbon based life, what other element has life formed from?
