* Bob Enyart in Round Two with AronRa - Pt 4: Bob completes his discussion with one of the web's leading anti-creationists, AronRa.

* UPDATE: Bob Enyart and AronRa Began their Debate 1-31-12 on a UK Site: Check it out!

* Bob Enyart Interviews AronRa: Continuing with the Foundational Falsehood videos, Bob has a conversation with one of the web's leading anti-creationists, AronRa.

* Widespread and Confirmed Dinosaur Tissue Finds Unknown to an Out-of-Date AronRa (and Talk Origins and PZ Myers, etc.): Evolutionists should be excited and up-to-date about what may be among the top biological discoveries of the 21st century: the widespread finds and confirmation of original dinosaur soft tissue! Instead, as is common, even with leading evolutionists (like PZ Myers who said the same when recently addressing our RSF Trochlea Challenge), they tend to be unread and out-of-date on the topic, and therefore claim that the many finds are some kind of contamination like "biofilm," which would be a more recently-formed bacterial residue. The following exchange came just after Enyart, who asserts that dinosaur fossils appear suddenly in the fossil record without an obvious predecessors, had asked AronRa where dinosaurs evolved from, to which Aron answered "Archosaurs," which seems like circular reasoning since the Archosaur group includes dinosaurs. Then (postponing for now the implications of dinosaur soft-tissue) considering who is up-to-date and excited about the latest scientific observations, as transcribed from this 1.5 minute segment (starting 27 minutes into today's program):

Bob Enyart: The soft-tissue that we find, the Tyrannosaurus Rex that we've got original biological material [from, and] then they found it in a Mosasaur that's [allegedly] 80 million years old. Then they found it in...

AronRa: You don't have original biological material.

Bob Enyart: Yes you do.

AronRa: No you don't. I've read Schweitzer's paper [Mary S., Jack Horner, etc. [Proc. Bio. Sci. 2007]. I suggest you review it.

Bob Enyart: Well you need to read the last five years worth of refereed scientific journals including from everywhere... in Nature, Science, PLoS -- Public Library of Science, [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, etc.]

AronRa: [dismissive laughter]

Bob Enyart: Ten universities [and institutes] just published a report, in the U.S. and [Europe], leading universities, I can list them for you, saying we have absolutely ruled out contamination. This is not biofilm. This is original...

AronRa: Are you going to argue that you have blood cells? ... I'm not even going to argue this for the moment. I've covered this in my series.

Bob Enyart: It's out-of-date. Because there are now dozens of institutions [acknowledging the studies]. They're finding biological tissue, dinosaur tissue.

* Whale Ancestor Now Denied by Discoverer:  Real Science Friday co-hosts Fred Williams and Bob Enyart discuss articles on Saturn and whales from the Fall 2011 issue of Creation magazine. As documented in Creation and on video in Dr. Carl Werner's fabulous evolution/creation DVDs, the discoverer Dr. Philip Gingerich now admits, "I speculated that it might have had a fluke [whale-like tail], I now doubt that Rodhocetus would have had a fluked tail." And the same with the whale-like flippers, Gingerich said: "Since then we have found the forelimbs, the hands, and the front arms of Rodhocetus, and we understand that it doesn't have the kind of arms that can spread out like flippers on a whale."

* Evolutionists Continue To Claim Rodhocetus as Whale Ancestor: The Rodhocetus story demonstrates that evolutionists have a greater commitment to illusion than to science. This creature was claimed as an ancestor to the whale because it was believed to swim in the ocean with flippers and to have a fluked tail. Now that it's discoverer admits that it didn't have whale-like flippers but forearms, and it didn't have a whale-like tail, REGARDLESS, evolutionists cannot bear to lose an icon of whale evolution. SO, THEY CONTINUE TO CLAIM RODHOCETUS AS A WHALE ANCESTOR, EVEN THOUGH THEY NOW ADMIT THAT THEY HAD COMPLETELY MISCHARACTERIZED A LAND-DWELLING ANIMAL AS A MARINE CREATURE. This is a tremendous example of the commitment of evolutionists to maintain the illusion of evolutionary lineage. If that had good evidence, they wouldn't constantly cling to the most embarrassing scenarios.

* Cassini Spacecraft Scientist Lists Evidence for a Young Saturn: Bob and Fred also discuss the extensive evidence against an old age for Saturn and its rings as reported by one of the Cassini spacecraft's leading scientists, Dr. David Coppedge!

* But What If Jonah's Not In Heaven? "Then you can ask him," the young girl said to her teacher. Real Science Friday co-hosts Fred Williams and Bob Enyart discuss Ken Ham's current Answers magazine articles on:
- the size and abilities of the blue whale
- the latest find of soft tissue in allegedly million-year-old fossils.
Also, two stories in the news are discussed...

* Four-time Texas Multi-million Dollar Lottery Winner: Joan Ginther of Texas won $5M, $2M, $3M, and then $10 million dollars in a Texas scratch lottery game. Her recently publicized PhD in statistics from Stanford University has led many to conclude that she is not "lucky" but has figured out a way to give herself a winning edge. Bob and Fred talk about probabilities and how powerfully mathematics can inform you on whether something has actually happened by chance, or by some other method. For example, the appearance of a single protein, let alone a reproducing, living cell. Correction: Contrary to what Bob said on air, the same person winning a multi-million dollar pay off four times over would happen not once every septillion years, but once every quadrillion years!

* Albert Einstein's Laboratory: As discussed on a recent program, James Nickel, in his best-selling Mathematics: Is God Silent?, shows how mathematicians (and theoretical physicists for that matter) turn away from the physical universe and yet make astounding discoveries that help to explain the world of matter and energy. A common atheistic cliché refutes itself: "You can only know what your five senses tell you." In reality, mathematicians use only their minds, and their discoveries come decades or even centuries before their real-world counterparts find affirmation through observational science. Time Magazine's Albert Einstein: The Enduring Legacy says that today's "high precision instruments such as atomic clocks and lasers... have shown that he was absolutely on target with the equations he worked out with nothing more than a pencil." Yet to Einstein, the non-physical realm of "ideas" shouldn't even exist and that non-physical mathematics could describe so beautifully the physical universe was incomprehensible. Again, these phenomena are answered only by that which Einstein denied: that the universe was designed in the mind of God, so its workings can be discovered by the mind of men who are made in God's image. So in accurate science, as Johann Kepler is paraphrased, we are thinking God's thoughts after Him. Exploring astounding and unexpected symmetries with Einstein, mathematicians often describe their work as an aesthetic pursuit of beauty. So picking up pencils and ignoring their five senses, the mathematicians who turn away from the physical world to the non-material world of ideas, seeking pleasure from pure intellectual elegance, often end up being the ones who come closest to describing the physical nature of the cosmos. Atheists and agnostics like Albert Einstein struggle with the design in nature and its comprehensibility because these suggest that the universe originated with the desire for beauty in the mind of a personal Creator.

* 80% of Known Fossils are Marine Animals: Real Science Friday co-host Bob Enyart discusses the current Creation Research Society Quarterly paper, The Search for Evidence Concerning the Origin of Fish,  by RSF friend Dr. Jerry Bergman. The photo on the right of a salamander, circulated online by uneducated evolutionists claiming that it's a fish with legs, depicts an Axolotl, which is not a fish but, like some other amphibians, lives permanently in its larval form.

* Trouble for Fish Evolution: With a million fish and marine fossils in museum collections alone, many of which are pristine, there is a COMPLETE lack of fossil evidence of the evolution of vertebrates from non-vertebrates, and also, generally, a widely-admitted (by evolutionists) lack of evidence of evolution from alleged non-fish ancestors, and a tremendous lack of evidence, despite the extensive (and allegedly ancient) worldwide record of fish fossils.

* Public School Biology Teachers Resist Darwinism:  Real Science Friday co-hosts Fred Williams and Bob Enyart discuss Ken Ham's current Answers magazine. But their first two stories are from even more current stories:
- Universal Atheistic Contradiction -- Atheist Pasta Dogma Denies Dogma: This member of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster made the Austrian government look foolish by getting them to issue his drivers license with a photo of him with a pasta strainer on his head. Atheist Niko Alm affirms the self-refuting claim of many non-Christians that "the only dogma... is the rejection of dogma."
- Bob's Starbucks Encounter: An old-earther tells Bob that the word for day "yom" in Genesis doesn't matter because the Hebrew language changed 500 years before Christ, to which Bob replied, "Did Carbon 14 change?" The conversation went well.
- 60% of U.S. Public School Biology Teachers: do not endorse Darwinism!
- Christian Colleges: Parents Beware! Many Christian colleges are undermining their students' trust in God's Word.
- Sharks GPS: Fred is an engineer at a GPS applications firm and this ability in sharks is a testimony to God's genius and a challenge to the atheist's noodle.
- Instincts: How do instincts, in babies, spiders, birds, kangaroo rats and sea turtles refute Darwinism?

* Flying Spaghetti Monster Church BACKFIRES: Atheists claim that the Christian belief in God is absurd so they try to illustrate that absurdity by pretending themselves to believe in something absurd: the Flying Spaghetti Monster. However it turns out that atheists actually do believe what they themselves admit is absurd. How so? Virtually 100% of atheists believe in aliens. Because of the assumed trillions of planets that could support life (and because of the assumed trillions of universes of the Antrhopic Principle's multiverse) atheists believe aliens will evolve forms of virtually infinite variety (which by the way disproves the claim that Darwinism is falsifiable). With the typical atheist claim (as with the origin of life) that anything that is possible given enough time becomes probable, therefore, atheists really do believe in flying spaghetti-like monsters. And they would characterize them as monsters, frightening creatures, as Stephen Hawking has warned us to avoid aliens should we happen upon them because they are very possibly going to be mean. And NASA-affiliated scientists at Penn State University have suggested that aliens might destroy mankind because of global warming. Therefore out of fear we should dedicate our lives to Mother Earth so that the Flying Spaghetti Monsters will not damn us to everlasting darkness. So, unwittingly acknowledging the absurdity of their own beliefs, atheists REALLY DO believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

* Real Science Friday Listens In to Spike Psarris: On this special edition of RSF, you'll audio from the stunning DVD, What You Aren't Being Told About Astronomy. Spike Psarris, former engineer with the U.S. military space program lists some of the very many observations that seriously contradict the standard evolutionary scheme for forming the Solar System.

Get the Spike Psarris Video: What You Aren't Being Told About Astronomy and his great Vol. II, on Our Created Stars and Galaxies! YOU'LL LOVE IT!

* Discover's Astronomer Attacks Psarris & RSF: Discover magazine's evolutionist Phil Plait accused Spike Psarris, of Creation Astronomy, of being deceptive because he uses the term "evolution" to describe naturalistic astronomy for, as Plait wrote, "evolution has nothing to do with astronomy." Instead of showing humility and dropping the issue, next Plait criticized Real Science Friday for our report on the spat, which included this comment: "Spike knocks it out of the park by showing the covers of covers of nine astronomy texts, each one with the word evolution in their titles, such as Solar System Evolution."

* RSF Talks About and With Spike Psarris:
- Honey Baby and Discover Mag's Phil Plait
- Spike Psarris on Astronomer Phil Plait and Evolution
- The Best Astronomy DVD Ever Made (this show)

* When a Seed is Planted, It Rises to New Life: When we trust in Christ, we become new creations in Him, and will live forever far beyond physical death in the everlasting hereafter. At Denver Bible Church we've lost a dear friend, a young man from our midst, who has gone home for the last time, but now, home to be with the Lord.

* Special Edition: of Real Science Friday!

* Studies Show Girls Entering Puberty Terribly Early: Among other factors, Bob Enyart and Jo Scott describe two possible reasons for this alarming development. First as often discussed, growth hormones given to animals then flow into the food supply. But secondly, kids grow up in an intensely sexualized culture, and our mind has a significant effect of course on our bodies. In the case of these young children, this psychosomatic effect results from their minds being bombarded ten thousand times with images of adults being sexual and their young minds and bodies attempting to emulate what they see. We don't expect our godless society to readily understand this however. Probably no group of young girls are as sexualized as young black children with the utter filth on music videos and throughout the black youth culture, and studies show that the highest rate of early puberty hits 7-year-old African American girls. And while the media and our secular researchers don't see these harmful effects as coming from all the sexual immorality thrown at our children, they do think it might come from plastic. As Dr. Joyce Lee from the University of Michigan said, "Kids today are exposed to plastic much more than they were 10 or 20 years ago." Yeah, it's not MTV modeling intense sexual behavior to children. It's that black kids rub more plastic into their skin than do Latinos or whites. Right.

* Creation-Evolution Replay: Bob plays a call from 1997 when an evolutionist, Tim Delaney, almost knocked Bob off his chair. After Bob repeatedly asked Tim to give one piece of evidence why he believes that evolution is true, the caller finally came up with an extraordinarily embarrassing offer... embarrassing, that is, to our public school system. He said, "human embryos have gill slits." Bob almost split his seams. Here's a summary of the gill slit thing from a Real Science Friday show from a year ago:

Atheist and Fraud Perpetrator Ernst Haeckel: created the scam drawings of a fetus to look like a fish and a reptile to support his utterly discredited "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" and according to the New York Times, March 8, 1907, he was later honored as the founder of the "Association for the Propagation of Ethical Atheism." Ha! Even Richard Dawkins admits in this video that Haeckel's drawings were faked and that today's textbooks should not be propagating his error.

* To Live and Die in Denver: Fifty years ago a woman in Denver tried to arrange an abortion but was turned down by her doctor. The daughter that survived later led her mom to salvation, and is still a witness for Jesus Christ wherever she goes. That mom, Mary Henning was led in her later years to the abortion mill in Denver and was a faithful witness there, holding her sign that read, “Please don’t, we can talk” for all the moms going in to kill their babies there.
