RSR'S Timesaving Google Creation ToolMultiple Creation Site Search!

Welcome to Real Science Radio: Co-hosts Fred Williams and Doug McBurney talk about science to debunk evolution and to show the evidence for the creator God including from biology, genetics, geology, history, paleontology, archaeology, astronomy, philosophy, cosmology, math, and physics. (For example, mutations will give you bad legs long before you'd get good wings.) We get to debate Darwinists and atheists like Lawrence Krauss, AronRa, and Eugenie Scott. We easily take potshots from popular evolutionists like PZ Myers, Phil Plait, and Jerry Coyne. The RSR Archive contains our popular List Shows! And we interview the outstanding scientists who dare to challenge today's accepted creed that nothing created everything.

RSR airs every Friday at 3pm MST on AM 670 KLTT in Denver, Colorado. For rebroadcast times and podcast platforms, see our Affiliates page.

The Hungary Geneticist: Trends Contradict Darwinism

* Meet this Creationist Geneticist: Real Science Radio host Bob Enyart interviews a Ph.D. geneticist Mark Carson on major trends in genomic research that contradict the expectations of neo-Darwinism. In 2001 in Eastern Europe Dr. Carson co-founded Hungary's Protestant Creation Research Group, online at kezdetek.hu, which grew into today's active organization with 150 involved persons.

Finding Noah's Brent Baum on RSR

*Ark Expedition: What kind of film needs a director of photography who has summited Mt. Everest? Coming soon to a theater near you, "Finding Noah" (DVD available here) will appear on 650 screens across the country for one night only as a Fathom Event at 7 p.m. on October 8th. Real Science Radio host Bob Enyart interviews Brent Baum, the producer and director of this powerful film. Mankind's collective memory reveals through hundreds of flood accounts, from cultures around the the globe, the most cataclysmic event in Earth history. In this interview, but especially through the film, follow the expedition of a team of men using state of the art technology, risking everything, and facing the elements and the fighting in eastern Turkey, in their quest to find the remains of Noah's Ark on Mt. Ararat.

Once Again: Brought to You by the Number Three

* Made in God's Triune Image: Rebroadcast from a couple years ago, and after some science news items, Real Science Radio hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams talk about God who said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness..." (Gen. 1:26). God exists as three persons in one Trinity. Man also, as it turns out, has a triune nature.

Real Science Radio is brought to you by God,
maker of heaven and earth and other fine products!

* Three in the Bible: Consider the Bible's extraordinary use of this number. Christ was three days in the tomb, which Jonah’s three days foreshadowed, as did Abraham’s three days of thinking that he would sacrifice his son Isaac on that same hill called Golgotha, the Skull, and Mt. Moriah (Gen. 22:14; 2 Chron. 3:1). Israel's three patriarchs are Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The priestly tribe of Levi is from Jacob's third child (Gen. 29:34), as Leviticus is the third book of the Bible. And the day the law was given, the sons of Levi killed “about three thousand men” (Ex. 32:28), whereas the day the Spirit was given, “that day about three thousand souls" were saved (Acts 2:41; and see 2 Cor. 3:6 and The Plot).

The Hebrew Scriptures comprise three sections, the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings (Luke 24:44), and God created three archangels. The most noteworthy women are Eve, Sarah, and Mary. The magi brought gold, frankincense and myrrh. Three persons (one being the Son) started their public service at thirty years of age: Joseph (Gen. 41:46), a deliverer of his people; David (2 Sam. 5:4) seated on the messianic throne (2 Sam. 7:12-13); and "Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age" (Luke 3:23). God could have led Esther to fast for two days, or four; and He could have kept Jonah in the whale for one day, or a week, but three days and three nights prefigures God’s plan of salvation for Christ’s time in the grave. For Jesus "rose again the third day according to the Scriptures" (1 Cor. 15:4). And thus, the triune Christian God, the mystery of the Trinity, Three Persons in One God, is the only true God. And even theoretically, unlike the unitarian Alah and any of the alleged pagan idols, the God of the Bible is the only one whose testimony we would be able to trust, for His triunity answers both the philosophical problem of the one and the many and it answers Socrates' challenge against theism titled Euthyphro's Dilemma.

* Three in Nature: God has imprinted our world and even ourselves with His triune nature. The number three manifested in Scripture turns the Christian's attention outward to see space existing in three dimensions, height, width, and length, as does time in past, present and future. The electromagnetic force operates in positive, negative, and neutral, and in light, red, green, and blue blend into the hues of the rainbow whereas and in pigment the three primary colors are red, yellow, and blue. We human beings on this third planet from the Sun are made of atoms built of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Further, three generations of elementary particles underlie all matter, which mankind initially experienced only in three states, solid, liquid, and gas. The strongest shape for building is the triangle. Writers often give three examples and artists group in threes as in interior design, sculpting, and even movie directors, as they have the word trilogy (1, 2, 3) but no word for any other number of films. Physicist Richard Feynman in his book QED asked how many fundamental actions are there to account for nearly all phenomena in the universe regarding light and electricity to which he answered: "There are Three!" And in his Nobel prize lecture Feynman listed the three unique ways of "describing quantum mechanics". Photographers use the rule of thirds. Genetic scientists discovered that the language of DNA uses only three-letter words. And so we humans are body, soul, and spirit (1 Thes. 5:23), made in the image of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

* The Birth of Another Great RSR LIST
: Coming in November 2016, RSR's List of Ancient Egypt's Evidence for the Exodus! Just as we credit...
RSR's List of Fresh Fossils and our rsr.org/dinosaur-soft-tissue#supplement to Brian Thomas over at the ICR, and
Dr. Carl Werner for his startling exposé of the fraudulent whale transitional fossils that enabled us to produce this latest List of Whale Evolution Problems, so too we're crediting
- Tim Mahoney and Brad Sparks (see Brad's bullet just below) for the research that went into the bullets that will appear below in our written List of Ancient Egypt's Evidence for the Exodus!
So, thank you Brian, Carl, Brad, and Tim, for your amazing work! BTW, we decided to wait for one year to pass from after our Patterns of Evidence interview before we began to include it's evidence in our list! (If you would like to help obtain resources for this project, please check out rsr.org/wish-list.)

* Related -- Brad C. Sparks Research: See Brad C. Sparks presentation at the scholarly 2013 Exodus Conference at the University of California San Diego documenting ancient Egyptian writings which parallel details of the Exodus, and that according to the scholars who translated the hieroglyphics and first published these significant historical records.

* Secular Timeline Criticism: Secular Egyptologists dismiss the significant evidence assembled by Mahoney and others, often citing the impossibility of a viable timeline. Immediately following the Patterns screening, the Fathom Event included a panel discussion in which Dennis Prager stated:

They're saying that, "The Exodus that never took place, because the Jews were never in Egypt, couldn't have taken place earlier." Is that correct? Isn't that a bit odd? They deny it ever took place, so there's no timeline for them. I don't get it. What is their argument on timeline? Now, if you have eight huge pieces of data, of incontrovertible data, like Joseph and his multicolored robe in that specific place at that time, and the Semites of that area escaping as it were overnight, at a certain period, and more and more of that at a certain time in history, you have to willfully deny it. "Well, it couldn't have happened because it had to happen later, therefore it never happened at all", makes no sense. So you sort of pinch yourself. And that brings us to what that archaeologist or scientist said, 'Look, we have our biases, and they have theirs.' Yes, that is exactly right. They have theirs. They don't want an Exodus.

* Archaeologists Confuse Building the City of "Ramses" with a Date: Exodus 1:11 says that the enslaved Jews "built for Pharaoh supply cities, Pithom and Ramses." Secular Egyptologists confuse the naming of this city with the date of the first construction at that location. That such confusion is evident invalidates the outright dismissal of Mahoney's work by claiming that his evidence belongs to a time prior to Ramses II, who built Pi-Ramsees. (Pithom and Ramses may be the storage facilities of Pi-Ramses.) To illustrate their error, consider the Google search for: when was New York City Founded...

 

* New York City Wasn't New York City Until Much Later: NYC wasn't "named" "New York" until 1664. "York" is a British name and when the Dutch founded the settlement in 1624 in the region they called "New Netherland", they soon constructed "Fort Amsterdam" and named the island "New Amsterdam". Four decades later the King of England granted the land to the "Duke of York" and it became New York. Google's result, consistent with countless other references, is not in error because "New York City" did not exist in 1624. (Istanbul was founded centuries before Christ as Byzantium, yet it's most common name was Constantinople from 330 A.D. until 1922.) It is so common that we often don't even think of it as anachronistic to use the current name for something even when referencing a time before that name came into use. Writing in Genesis, for example, Moses referred to God as YHWH describing events that occurred before he learned God's name in Exodus, and the land of Ramses was mentioned .  

* Secular Archaeologists Should Retract this Ramses Objection: Thus secular archaeologists make an unjustified assumption when they equate the naming of a city (Ramses) with the date of the first building of a city at that location. Regarding the significant excavated evidence from the city of Avaris presented by Mahoney, it is therefore of interest, as reported by Wikipedia, that, "Avaris was absorbed into the new city of Pi-Ramesses constructed by Ramesses II (1279–1213 BC)..." So archaeologists are wrong to dismiss the patterns of evidence for the Exodus on the claim that such evidence belonging to a date prior to Pharaoh Ramses II. Therefore, Real Science Radio calls on Stephen Gabriel Rosenberg and skeptical Egyptologists to retract the general objection to Exodus evidence that it should be dismissed because of a date prior to Pharaoh Ramses II.

* List of Ancient Egypt's Evidence for the Exodus: Again, RSR credits Tim Mahoney and Brad Sparks with collecting much of the evidence we will be providing below. This list is no substitute for their own publications so we highly recommend those of scholarly interest read Sparks and those of either casual or scholarly interest view Patterns of Evidence! Further, we have supplemented materials from Mahoney and Sparks with other generally available information, so please don't assume that just because something is on this list that it comes from their work. We expect to build this list during the month of November, 2016! So if you're interested, please check back soon!

The Hebrews Gave the Word "Pharaoh" to the World: The etymology of the word Pharaoh looks back to the term for the palace of Egypt's king. Chilperic Edwards, one of the first scholars to translate the Code of Hammurabistated regarding the non-Egyptian origin of the title of their monarch: "Pharaoh was the name given by Hebrew writers to the king of Egypt." Most Egyptologists reject the historical basis for the Exodus, discounting any significant role for Abraham's descendants in Egypt. Yet language itself, one of the greatest of world treasures, is perhaps our most important historical monument. Thus, Israel's role in Egypt can be rediscovered by recognizing that the Jews gave to the world the Hebrew word Pharaoh, a word that eventually attained to common usage even by the ancient Egyptians themselves. See more at rsr.org/pharaoh.

The next item is the hardest to understand,
but understanding it enables consideration of the rest. 

- Exodus Didn't Happen in the 13th Century BC: Great! Almost everyone agrees, from secular Egyptologists who reject the Exodus outright, to the vast majority of biblical literalists, these all agree that the Exodus did not happen in the 13th century BC or, for that matter, at anytime in Egypt's New Kingdom period. Tim Mahoney's Patterns of Evidence film highlights the primary argument used by archaeologists, like Norma Franklin and Israel Finkelstein, to dismiss the evidence for the Israelites' presence in ancient Egypt. Summarizing, their main argument is this: "The Exodus never happened, but when it never happened was in the 13th century BC." So, if the Exodus occurred in the earlier 15th century BC, even if it left behind the mountain of evidence documented in Mahoney's film, the "13th century argument" prejudices experts and excludes much hard evidence from consideration.
- 15th century BC Avaris was home to Semite population: Excavating the 15th-century BC Avaris, from beneath the southern sector of the 13th-century city of Ramses, Manfred Bietak has uncovered a large city of Semites. (Bietak believes these people could not have been Israelites because the Exodus did not happen in the 13th-century BC.)
- Avaris became a major city of protected foreigners: Bietak estimates the population of the "huge town" of Avaris as between 25 and 30,000 foreigners, "people who originated from Canaan Syria-Palestine", who thrived in the midst of powerful Egypt, obviously with Pharaoh's support, ranking Avaris as one of the largest cities in the ancient world.
- Twenty Semite settlements in Goshen: Prof. John Bimson of the The UK's Trinity College estimates that more than 20 settlements of Semites, lighter-colored people from north of Egypt including from the land of Canaan, many of which that have been only partially excavated, are in the land of Goshen, the northeastern Nile Delta region of Egypt. The dating of Avaris may show it to be the first established of these second millennium B.C. cities.
- The Hebrews likely gave the word "Goshen" to Egypt: Like the word Pharaoh, another word that appears to have come from the Jews is the word Goshen, which refers to a fertile region of the Nile delta. At least by the time of Egypt's 26th dynasty (664 - 525 B.C.), this area was called Gesem. This word seems to "only [have] meaning through Hebrew, as if it were a word meaningful only to the Hebrews who settled there". The Septuagint translation suggests the meaning "'cultivated'—comparing the Arabic root j-š-m, 'to labor.'" [With the Jews giving to the world the words Pharaoh and Goshen, imagine 
the significance if the Egyptian name Ramses also originated with them.]
- Semites were shepherds: Through thirty years of field work at Avaris, Bietak [unfinished...]

John West and Darwin Day in America on RSR

* Dr. John West on Totalitarian Science: Discovery Institute senior fellow Dr. John West, author of Darwin Day in America: How our politics and culture have been dehumanized in the name of science, speaks with Real Science Radio host Bob Enyart about the rise of totalitarian science. As the culture increasingly looks to science for moral guidance, America is in a moral free fall, for the scientific laws have no moral component and do not even use the words right and wrong.

* ID Interviews on RSR: Hear also Paul Nelson, Stephen Meyer, Jonathan Witt, Lad Allen, and Richard Sternberg.

* Recalling Last Year's Alaska Science Cruise: On a real Science Radio program in 2014 Bob gave to his co-host Fred Williams a debrief on the Discovery Institute's cruise to Alaska which Bob benefited from immensely with great presentations from John West, Stephen Meyer, John West, Paul Nelson, and Oxford's John Lennox.

RSR: Bob and Fred Report on Flood Model Progress

* Real Science Radio in England: Bob Enyart is headed to England on a research project, from Sept. 13th to the 23rd. In the latter part of the trip, he will meet with creation-minded scientists, tentatively in Liverpool, Portsmouth, and at Cambridge or Oxford, but potentially, anywhere the trains go! So if you are such a scientist, or creation activist, please let us know at Bob@rsr.org if you would be available for a meeting.

* Update: Hear those RSR interviews recorded on location with science and engineering professors from Liverpool, Leeds, and Portsmouth. Also, there's a Skype interview tentatively in the works with a professor from Oxford. And see the Dawkins 3-to-1 Evolution Challenge that we put in Richard Dawkin's faculty mailbox at New College in Oxford.

* Where Did the Water Come From? Then the guys get to the controversial stuff on flood models. In RSR's Global Flood video we claimed that only the Hydroplate Theory can answer the question: Where did the water come from? Now we have what we are interpreting as an admission from the non-hydroplate theory camps that their flood models have no way of adding to the Earth's surface during the flood significant quantities of additional water.

* CPT Lead Author Claims Floodwaters were Simply Ocean Water: Dr. John Baumgardener replying to questions that arose during the Flood Science Review answered the question, "Is it possible that the water which emerged from the 'fountains of the great deep' was from a subterranean source?" as follows:

In this CPT framework the steam in these spectacular fountain-like jets as well as the water that becomes entrained in the fringes of the jets and lofted high into the atmosphere is ocean water.

See also rsr.org/cpt.

* Atheists and Pond Scum in the Latest Creation Mag: Real Science Radio hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams begin with fun science news in the latest edition of creation.com/magazine. For example, as illustrated on the right (by John Bracht, American University, and Robert Hammersmith, Ball State University), CMI reports on the discovery of a non-primitive, not-simple single-celled pond organism Oxytricha trifallax that breaks down its own DNA into 225,000 segments and then reassembles it before reproducing! In this issue of their great magazine, Creation Ministries International also reports on a survey about belief in aliens conducted by astronomer David Weintraub from Tennessee's Vanderbilt University, of various demographic groups, atheists, muslims, Roman Catholics, mainline denominations, etc. It turns out that the most superstitious of these groups were atheists, with a majority of atheists believing in aliens, whereas the least superstitious were fundamentalist evangelicals such as Southern Baptists (and Fred, and Pastor Bob, and Denver Bible Church).

* BTW: This evening, Bob Enyart, his brother Brian and sister-in-law Jen, and her mom Dee, appeared briefly on The Food Network's Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, from weeks ago when they enjoyed a meal at Denver's excellent Greek restaurant Axios.
