RSR: A Leading Telescope Designer in Studio

Jim Burr telescope designer* Bob Enyart Interviews a National Asset: Jim Burr is recognized throughout the world for his achievements in telescope design and manufacturing, including finally, after 400 years making binocular telescopes available to astronomers and amateurs alike! David Levy, co-discoverer of the famous Shoemaker-Levy 9 comet that crashed into Jupiter, says that Jim Burr's binocular telescopes are the greatest improvement to the concept of the telescope since Galileo!

For today's show RSR recommends
What You Aren't Being Told About Astronomy:
Our Created Solar System
!

* The Sun, the Moon, the Formation of Stars: Hear Bob and Jim describe how it is that Big Bang cosmologists cannot explain the existence of our Moon, of our Sun, of our Sun's lack of rapid rotation, of the formation of a star, and of so many other features of our solar system and of galaxies. Scripture on the other hand says that the stars are innumerable, like the grains of the sand, even though in the ancient world, like today, only about 5,000 stars were visible to the naked eye, whereas astronomers now estimate that there are 70 (or more) sextillion stars, that's a 70 with 22 zeroes after it. And if all the stars in the heavens really being formed naturally, then millions of new stars should still be coming into existence (many of which would become visible to Earth) every hour, but that's just not happening. So where are all the photos showing portions of space where there was no star, and now there is a star? The truth is that, "In the beginning God made the heavens and the earth... and He made the stars also," (Gen. 1).

Spike Psarris on Astronomer Phil Plait & Evolution

* Discover Magazine's Astronomer Now Takes A Shot at Real Science Radio...

* Evolutionary Astronomers & the Funny Phil Plait Spat: We've already reported that Discover magazine's astronomer, evolutionist Phil Plait, accused Spike Psarris of being deceptive because he uses the term "evolution" to describe naturalistic astronomy for, as Plait wrote, "evolution has nothing to do with astronomy." (Of course stellar nucleosynthesis is also called chemical evolution, but even that theory is in crisis. See below.) Now Plait has also criticized Real Science Radio for our report on the spat, which included this comment: "Spike knocks it out of the park by showing the covers of nine astronomy texts, each one with the word evolution in their titles, such as Solar System Evolution." Psarris and Enyart also discuss the circular reasoning of atheists trying to account for the origin of the universe and life on earth.

* Check Out RSR's Big Bang Video

* Father of the Big Bang Theory Talked "Evolution": The terminology which Plait himself uses, but objects to from creationists, goes back to the birth of the big bang theory. In his brief paper that announced his big bang theory in the May 1931 issue of Nature paper, he wrote, "Clearly the initial quantum could not conceal in itself the whole course of evolution..." And in September of 1931, because of challenges with "stellar evolution" Lemaître said to the British Association, "We want a 'fireworks' theory of evolution." But, "The last two thousands million years are slow evolution..." [Lemaître scored public relations points by applying the slow and gradual geological uniformitarian mindset to cosmology.] "The evolution of the world can be compared to a display of fireworks that has just ended... we try to recall the vanishing brilliance of the origin of the worlds." And in Georges Lemaître's 1951 book, The Primeval Atom, "Evolution: The Evolution of Stars. The idea of evolution has played an important role..."

* Father of Star Formation Theory Talked "Evolution": 1931 Report of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, The Evolution of the Universe, "We are, of course, discussing only the physical universe. ... The physical universe never has any choice--it must inevitably move along a single road to a predestined end. What we are calling evolution is like the rolling of a train along a single-track line, with no junctions of any kind." -James Jeans, and present were de Sitter, Eddington, Lemaître, et al.

* Then There's the Black Hole "Missing Links": Thousands of scholarly papers use the evolutionary "missing link" terminology to describe the tendency for black holes to be either up to about 100 solar masses, or over 100,000 solar masses. (In 2018, a particular black hole was proposed as a candidate for spanning this gap, then this one was proposed in 2019.) This problem is not unlike the evolutionary problem of missing links of organisms with more than a single cell and fewer than any of the known smallest multicellular organisms, and it's also like the inability of secular physicists to explain the origin of the majority of the elements of the periodic table, those above iron, as explained at rsr.org/bb#supernova.

* Analyzing the Great Works of Literature -- Via Spelling: Consider Phil Plait's summary explanation for biological evolution, which allegedly generated all of life's diversity. Plait claimed that the origin and diversification of species (genus, family, order, phylum, etc.) that is, neo-Darwinian evolution, is all about a "change in frequency of alleles", or, variations in genes. (This same claim arose when RSR debated atheist AronRa.) This "change in the frequency of alleles" explanation of life's diversity is as insufficient an approach to understanding life as it would be to attempt to comprehend the evolution in the great works of literature by focusing on spelling variations.

*  One Dead Protein: Bob Enyart points out that even if a trillion universes all pulled together to overcome the odds of a protein forming and folding by chance, and natural processes produced the first protein... so what? All you'd have is a single, non-living protein.

An extinct Spikepsarris

* Stephen Hawking's Circular Reasoning Exposed: (not as though that was difficult however) Hawking claims that in the Big Bang the laws of physics produced the universe, even though the Big Bang claims those laws did not exist prior to the Big Bang. And Hawking says, for example, that the matter of the universe came from energy borrowed from the gravitational energy of the universe, to which Enyart asks, "What universe?" If you're explaining the origin of the universe, you cannot appeal to the universe itself. Note also our page, rsr.org/stephen-hawkings-irrational-fears, where we record his phobias, with his pretty wild suggestions which include:
- that people should avoid talking to aliens who are likely to be mean
- that we should beware of danger from "highly intelligent machines", forgetting perhaps that we call it "artificial" because machines have no intelligence and even no awareness
- that if he has any credibility, then we too would fear the Higgs Boson (really), and
- that mankind should go to the Moon (daytime temperature over 200 degrees, 107 C) to escape global warming.

RSR: Jerry Bergman on Slaughter of the Dissidents

Bergman: Slaughter of the Dissidents* Most Prolific Creationist Writer in Studio: Real Science Radio's Bob Enyart interviews Dr. Jerry Bergman, author of Slaughter of the Dissidents (buy now at creation.com!) Bob Enyart has been reading Dr. Bergman's writings for 30 years and is honored to have the good doctor in studio! Ben Stein's movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, created more awareness for Dr. Bergman's book. Enyart and Bergman discuss evolutionists who kill the careers of those who doubt Darwin, and they talked about Richard Dawkins, Richard Sternberg, and Dr. Jonathan Sarfati's new book that references Dr. Bergman's work.

* RSR's List of Educated Folks who Doubt Darwin: In the tradition of our List of Not So Old Things, and List of Dinosaur Soft Tissue, and List of Genomes that Just Don't Fit, with some addmitted overlap, here is our List of Educated Folks who Doubt Darwin:
- 300 medical doctors signing PSSI's Physicials and Surgeons who Dissent from Darwinism
- 600 advanced degreed scientists who are members of the Creation Research Society
- 800 scientists who signified their dissent at DissentFromDarwin.org
- 3,000 scientists and professors (most of whom hold a Ph.D. in some field of science) who reject secular Darwinism to varying degrees as named online by Dr. Jerry Bergman
- 30,000 U.S. public high school biology teachers, i.e., 60%, do not endorse Darwinism in class
- 100,000 college professors in the U.S. alone who, according to Harvard researchers, agree that "intelligent design IS a serious scientific alternative to the Darwinian theory of evolution."
- 570,000 medical doctors in the U.S., say God brought about or directly created humans. Medicine is an "applied science" within biology that is practiced by highly educated professionals. Thus it is significant that 60% of all U.S. medical doctors reject the strictly secular Darwinist explanation for our existence, with three of five docs agreeing that either God initiated and guided the process that led to human life or that God specially created human beings as we are.
