Bombs Away! Part II w/Dr. Andy McIntosh

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 18:30:00 -0600

Listen to Part I HERE

*Andy McIntosh, PhD: This week Fred Williams is on assignment so Doug McBurney welcomes a brilliant mind in science and design — Dr. Andy McIntosh. He’s a professor of thermodynamics and combustion theory, and he joins RSR to help us understand one of the most sophisticated combustion engines ever observed! He states in his biography that: “At Bangor University in North Wales in the early 1970s... ...At that point we only had Whitcomb and Morris’ book, ‘The Genesis Flood’, and a few others. But to us the issue was clear – what is in the Bible must determine all our beliefs. The straightforward interpretation is 99% of the time, the way to interpret Scripture.”

* He Wrote the Books: Get both of Dr. McIntosh's books: Wonders of Creation and Genesis One to Eleven: a verse by verse commentary.

* Truth Wins Out: Check out the Truth in Science organization over in England! Point 1: We examine scientific evidence carefully and present it with honesty and integrity, especially to school and college students, both on our websites and through professionally produced media and resources. Point 2: We expose the assumptions and methodological errors in some of today's widely accepted scientific models, and point out what is conjecture and based on a materialistic worldview. Point 3: In particular, we seek to clarify the meaning of the term "Evolution", so as to avoid careless acceptance of all its claims and supposed implications. Point 4: We advocate models based on rigorous, observable scientific evidence in contrast to unproven hypotheses lacking in experimental support. Point 5: We seek to lobby the Department for Education to permit, rather than censor, the attitude of healthy criticism integral to the scientific method, in school and college classrooms and laboratories.

* The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Hear Fred, Doug and Andy discuss the Bible, The Creation the Bombardier Beetle and men including: Thomas Eisner & Hermann Schildknecht. And hear them express their hope for the soul of Richard Dawkins!

All Science is Creation Science with CRS Director Joel Brown, PhD

Fri, 12 Sep 2025 18:30:00 -0600

* Dr. Joel Brown: This week Fred Williams and Doug McBurney welcome Creation Research Society Director Joel Brown. He was a pastor’s son, who chose to trust Christ from a young age. He got his undergraduate degree in Biology Education at Pensacola Christian College and spent ten years in secular research. He earned a master’s degree in biology from the University of West Florida, followed by a PhD in Molecular Biology from Cornell. He then spent five years teaching biology to high schoolers.

He joined CRS in no small part because Ecclesiastes 12:1 reminded him to “remember now thy creator in the days of thy youth.” Dr. Brown wants to help churches, believers, and young people think through some of the greatest questions of all, the questions of our origins and our past.

* Mary, Mary Quite Contrary: Hear how Dr. Brown and CRS are planning and working to secure Mary Schweizter's place in scientific history through further research and investigation regarding the various biological tissues being discovered in fossils.

* The iDino DNA project: Consider supporting CRS's iDino project going after dinosaur DNA.

Captain America Visits Real Science Radio

Fri, 22 Aug 2025 21:00:00 -0600

* Head & Sholders Above: This week Fred Williams and Doug McBurney welcome Dr. Aaron Sholders (aka Captain America) professor of biochemistry at Colorado State University and author of Principles of Biochemistry to discuss how the design described in the Bible is evident in the biological world.

* Learning Outcomes Assessment: Hear how Dr. Sholders helped develop tools and protocols to confirm that students are learning what they're being taught!

* Working Man Find out how a Bible believing Christian maintains a successful career (according to I Thes 4:10-12) in the secular world of universities and private industry.

* Introduce Yourself: Find out about the impact and potential of Dr. Sholders habit of introducing himself as a Christian to each new class of students.

* Rightside Up: Dr. Sholders' parents raised him with the gospel. Hear how their faithfulness led him through tragic loss and into the arms of Jesus Christ.

* Incidental Intelligent Design: When a professor teaches biochemistry, he's teaching intelligent design whether he acknowledges it or not.

* What are the Odds: Dr. Sholders reminds us that no one has refuted microbiologist Douglas Axe's assertion (standing for over 20 years) that the odds of a protein coming into existence via unguided amino acid sequences is about 1 in 10⁷⁷which RSR asserts is absurd.

Standing for the Truth of Endogenous Retroviruses

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 21:00:00 -0600

* Stand Up! This week Fred Williams and Doug McBurney welcome Donny Budinsky and Matt Nailor of Standing for Truth Ministries to discuss the Bible, DNA, and endogenous retroviruses.

* Fetal Development and Exogenous Viruses... Hear how ERV's behave like antiviral components of immune response, and appear to be instrumental in embryological development.

* Research Agrees with Genesis: Hear how the scientific literature in the field of ERV's, particularly regarding antiviral protection lead honest researchers to question the evolutionary suppositions.

Standing for the Truth of Adam & Eve

Fri, 08 Aug 2025 21:00:00 -0600

* On the Stand: This week Fred Williams and Doug McBurney welcome Donny Budinsky and Matt Nailor of Standing for Truth Ministries to discuss the Bible, science, history and the gospel!

* Starting with the Bible: Hear Donny Budinsky and Matt Nailor answer Aron Ra's phylogeny challenge out of the Bible, (which happens to be confirmed by empirical science).

* Eden , Eve, the Tree, the Ark and more... Starting with the Bible, (with references to extra-biblical sources), we discuss how history, literature and science help confirm the facts of Genesis.

* Genetics Agree with the Bible: Hear how the scientific literature in the field of genetics, particularly regarding mutation rates lead honest researchers right back to the Bible!

Sharkskin Jets, Pangolin Armor, and Atheists Denying Atheism!

Fri, 01 Aug 2025 21:00:00 -0600

* Of Pangolins and Protection: Fred and Ryan review the latest Creation Magazine, starting with the pangolin! Its an armored, anteater-like creature with keratin scales and unique defensive design. Evolutionists once linked it to armadillos, but genetic studies disproved the connection, forcing an appeal to convergent evolution—a recurring "rescue device" for failing Darwinian models.

* Shark Skin and Airplanes: From ocean to air, shark skin's ridged structure reduces drag. Engineers have reverse-engineered this feature for airplane coatings and banned swimsuits. Like past guest Dr. Michael Egnor noted, reverse engineering proves intentional design.

* A Forest from a Warmer Past: Global warming headlines falter as ancient warm-climate forests are discovered under melting snow in Wyoming.

* Dawkins vs. Dawkins: Irony strikes as atheist icon Richard Dawkins clashes with the Freedom From Religion Foundation over gender ideology. Dawkins is now censored for insisting humans can't change biological sex. As Romans 1 says, suppressing truth leads to folly.

* Life on Bennu? Not So Fast: NASA’s return samples from asteroid Bennu contain racemic amino acids—both left and right-handed—suggesting death, not life. Fred and Ryan highlight the missed opportunity by CMI to support the Hydroplate Theory, which better explains why Earth-like materials (like serpentinite) are found in space.

* Dire Wolves and DNA: A biotech firm claims to have "de-extincted" the Ice Age dire wolf using CRISPR and gray wolf DNA. But critics argue it's just a genetically engineered look-alike. The ethics—and science fiction parallels—raise valid concerns about modern tinkering with life.

* Ant Eyes and Imaging Breakthroughs: Desert ants’ compound eyes detect polarized light to navigate featureless landscapes. Chinese scientists copied this tech to enhance imaging—enabling detection of cancer cells without staining. Once again, man learns from the Master Engineer.

Investigating Immortality with Dr. Michael Egnor

Fri, 25 Jul 2025 21:00:00 -0600

* "Pseudoscience" and Reverse Engineering: This week Fred Williams and Doug McBurney welcome Dr. Michael Egnor: author of "The Immortal Mind", a medical doctor, professor of neurosurgery at Stony Brook University, and a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute who’s been a leading voice addressing intelligent design, the mind-brain relationship, and the limits of materialist explanations in science.

* The Heart of the Matter: Listen in as Dr. Egnor explains how the assumption that the heart is a pump, (a design inference) is essential to analysis of the "Windkessel effect" and how the design of the circulatory system of the brain protects delicate microcirculation infrastructure from the powerful pumping force of the heart.

* Hemispheres: Get the back story on a surgical procedure called the "hemispherectomy", and it's implications for the mind/body interface, including fascinating descriptions of how Penfield's study of seizures implies that reason, abstract thought and the will arise not in the brain, but elsewhere.

* Flesh Versus Mind: Dr. Egnor reviews the thoughts of Aquinas, Plato, Ryle, Descartes, Aristotle and others regarding the mind and the body, and the compatibility of those thoughts with the best understanding of modern neuroscience.

* The Savant: Hear Dr. Egnor comment on Bob Enyart's theory regarding the often amazing capabilities displayed by savants.

* Soul, Spirit & Body: Listen to Fred, Doug & Dr. Egnor explore the nature of the body, soul, spirit relationship, and how Francis Crick proved that being smart does not necessarily make one wise, (check out quote number three)!
