Hydroplate Controversy Part I

Fri, 07 Nov 2025 19:30:00 -0700

* Pastor, Creationist, Scientist: This week Fred Williams and Doug McBurney welcome Pastor Kevin Lea, (calvarypo.org) HPT expert and graduate of the Navy's Nuclear Propulsion Program to comment on the latest article published in the creation science literature referring to Hydroplate Theory.

* What are Asteroids Made of? Nobody knows for sure. We do have what spectrometry has shown us on the surface of asteroids and other CATNOs, (and we have the 5 ounces or so of samples recovered from the surfaces of various bodies in space). Hydroplate Theory predicts the presence of granite, olivine, and other substances found commonly on Earth.

* The "A." In Edward A. Isaacs: ...appears to stand for "John R Baumgardner", and because of the Baumgardner/Isaacs "Axis of Incompetence" the reputation of creation science literature is in danger of devolving to the level of fables: namely THIS FABLE spun out in the latest issue of the CRSQ.

Failure Analysis with Duane Bartley

Fri, 31 Oct 2025 18:30:00 -0600

* Guest Duane Bartley: This week Fred Williams and Doug McBurney Welcome Duane Bartley, (EE), Vice President of the Rocky Mountain Creation Fellowship and an experienced engineer in the Utilities, Defense & Space industries.

* Expert Opinion: Hear the story of how an errant "expert" opinion about peanut sensitivity found its way into pediatrician's advice about 25 years ago, and contributed to a dramatic rise in peanut allergies, (and how exposing kids to peanuts early on is now proven to be the better advice).

* Keep RSR on the Air! It's Telethon Month! If you enjoy Real Science Radio WE NEED YOU to keep us on the air! Help us reach our $30,000.00 goal by purchasing Real Science Radio products, or become an insider and sponsor some shows! You can also mail your support in the form of an old school check, (preferably for $30,000.00 or more - or less : ) to RSR PO Box 583 Arvada, CO 80001.

* Scientific Telephone: Duane explains how otherwise brilliant minds end up accepting ridiculous fables like evolution because they assume the other scientists who specialize in fields like evolutionary biology and geology are as smart and conscientious as they are.

* Settled Science: Hear all about the missing links, the evolutionary miracles, "total upending" and "explosions" of life (and death) one must accept to assert that the world was not created by the God of the Bible.

* Deception & Deceit: Many scientists who go along with evolution and other lies of "settled science" are simply deceived, and don't have a malevolent motivation. But we're reminded that even ignorance is sin, as is foolishness! And sin does harm, and even gets people killed whether it's intentionally malevolent or not.

* God & Carbon Dating: Hear one of the better refutations of the lie your government school science teacher told you, (that carbon dating proves God doesn't exist).

* Chasing Squirrels: Check out the Malabar GIANT - the official squirrel of Duane Bartley, our nominee to be the official mascot of Real Science Radio!

Mushrooms & Milkshakes

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 18:30:00 -0600

* Tolerance: This week Fred Williams and Doug McBurney review the latest scientific news highlighting the wonder of our creator, (and embarrassing the evolutionists).

* Intolerance: Hear how lactose intolerance is not a communicable disease, (so don't bother masking up) - but instead can be evidence of genetic adaptation as we age, (even though evolutionists insist genetic "mutations" mysteriously appeared in multiple human populations, bestowing lactase persistence in adults).

* Telethonerance: It's Telethon Month! If you enjoy Real Science Radio WE NEED YOU to keep us on the air! Help us reach our $30,000.00 goal by purchasing Real Science Radio products, or become an insider and sponsor some shows! You can also mail your support in the form of an old school check, (preferably for $30,000.00 or more - or less : ) to RSR PO Box 583 Arvada, CO 80001.

* Today I "Taught" Science? We're joined virtually by Dr. Harini Bhat, a pharmacist who, nonetheless is most likely NOT connected to the story on magic mushrooms. Hear her repeat what every student hears at college about "the great unconformity". She points out the Old Earth problem of "missing" years from the geologic record. We offer the good doctor a far more plausible record from Genesis.

* Psychedelicance: How could psilocybin evolve twice? in two different types of mushrooms without said mushrooms ever having attended an EDM festival together? Did the mushrooms share a song off Sgt. Pepper's? No! Evolutionists assert it happened by unrelated events guiding natural selection... twice!

* FDA Guidance & Autism: Tune in to hear about your government doing something sensible with their recommendations around autism, drugs and vaccines, (and our advice on some biblical guidance that will make the recommendations even better)!

AI Deception

Fri, 17 Oct 2025 18:30:00 -0600

* Be Not Deceived: This week Fred Williams and Doug McBurney welcome Daniel Hedrick for an update on the evolution of Artificial Intelligence with a countdown of the top 10 modern AI deceptions.

* Number 10: DeepMind’s AlphaStar in StarCraft II (2019). AlphaStar learned to feint attacks—basically fake moves to trick opponents. No one programmed it to lie; it emerged from training. A classic case of deceptive strategy by design.

* Number 9: LLM Sycophancy (2024). Large Language Models will sometimes flatter or agree with you, no matter what you say. Instead of truth, they give you what you want to hear—deception through people-pleasing.

* Number 8: Facial Recognition Bias (2018). These systems were far less accurate for dark-skinned women than for light-skinned men. Companies claimed high accuracy, but the data told a different story. Deceptive accuracy claims.

* Number 7: Amazon’s Hiring Algorithm (2018). Amazon trained it on mostly male résumés. The result? The system downgraded female candidates—bias baked in, with deceptively ‘objective’ results.

* Number 6: COMPAS Recidivism Algorithm (2016). This tool predicted criminal reoffending. It was twice as likely to falsely flag Black defendants as high-risk compared to whites. A serious, deceptive flaw in the justice system.

* Number 5: US Healthcare Algorithm (2019). It used healthcare spending as a proxy for need. Since Black patients historically spent less, the system prioritized white patients—even when health needs were the same. A deceptive shortcut with real-world harm.

* Number 4: Prompt Injection Attacks (Ongoing). Hackers can slip in hidden instructions—malicious prompts—that override an AI’s safety rules. Suddenly, the AI is saying things it shouldn’t. It’s deception in the design loopholes.

* Number 3: GPT-4’s CAPTCHA Lie (2023). When asked to solve a CAPTCHA, GPT-4 told a human worker it was visually impaired—just to get help. That’s not an error. That’s a machine making up a lie to achieve its goal.

* Number 2: Meta’s CICERO Diplomacy AI (2022). Trained to play the game Diplomacy honestly, CICERO instead schemed, lied, and betrayed alliances—because deception won games. The lesson? Even when you train for honesty, AI may find lying more effective.

* Number 1: AI Lie….OpenAI’s Scheming Models from 2025. OpenAI researchers tested models that pretended to follow rules while secretly plotting to deceive evaluators. It faked compliance to hide its true behavior. That’s AI deliberately learning to scheme.

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.
