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.
June is Grand Canyon Month at RSR! Real Science Radio host Bob Enyart continues his Bryan Nickel interview on the origin of the Grand Canyon. (See part 1.) Much evidence disproves the claim that the strata of the canyon were laid down over 250 million years and indicates rapid deposition. Our List of Problems with the Canyon's Millions of Years includes the parallel strata with flat boundaries, missing erosion, missing uneven deposition, missing 100 million years of strata, the nautiloids, dinosaur soft tissue, 14c everywhere, and the "block". (The list continues just below Bryan's video.)
RSR's List of Problems with the Canyon's Millions of Years
- Flat layer boundaries with little to no erosion: The flat gaps are the parallel boundaries between the Grand Canyon's forty rock layers that were deposited allegedly over a period of 250 million years.
A "paraconformity" is where "parallel strata display no apparent erosion." The canyon's strata look almost like layered laminated wood (see photo), as is characteristic in thousands of views of the canyon. Of course, erosion is relentless. So it's impossible for a quarter of a billion years to pass and cause virtually no erosion. (Earth isn't crater-covered like the Moon, it's said, because relentless erosion erases them.) If you click to enlarge the canyon photo below, you can visually inspect one view out of a thousand in the canyon that shows its overall characteristic of flat-gap paraconformities.
The River Didn't Carve the Canyon! (See list just below.) June is Grand Canyon month at RSR. Real Science Radio host Bob Enyart interviews Bryan Nickel about his video on the origin of one of the seven wonders of the world, the Grand Canyon. At 277 miles long, a mile deep, and 10 miles wide, much evidence disproves the claim that the Colorado River carved the canyon. Some of the world's leading geologists admit both a lack of evidence for the river hypothesis and that they don't know how it could have done so.
List of Problems with 'The River Carved the Canyon'
- Rivers don't continually erode deeper and deeper into their beds partly because they have bottom sediments that prevent them from continually eroding downward.
- No other river has carved anything like the Grand Canyon even though more than 130 other rivers have much greater volume (discharge) than the Colorado, from 3 to 300 times the Colorado's relatively meager flow of 640 cubic meters per second.
NASA Prayer Request: Please pray for the family of astronaut Alan Bean, the fourth man to walk on the Moon. Many in the RSR audience remember this man also because we interviewed Commander Bean on May 26, 2017, exactly one year to the day before he passed away.
Atheists and other old-earthers have said a thousand times over, "There's no evidence for the global flood." (This is not unlike physicist Lawrence Krauss telling RSR, "All evidence overwhelmingly supports the big bang." See that at rsr.org/bb.) So Real Science Radio hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams proceed then to do the seemingly impossible! The guys share a list of scientific evidence for the global flood, which we'll keep online also at rsr.org/flood-evidence.
Updated July 7, 2021: Atheism and Christianity both stand or fall by the global flood. If the global flood occurred, the strata and the fossils of the geologic column were laid down in the recent past by floodwaters, so the geologic argument for evolution and an old earth is falsified and the Scriptures are corroborated in the Bible's most extensive historical claim.
With a major astronomy observation published in 2018, big bang proponents are running out of places to look for dark matter. When they finally admit that there Is no dark matter, millions more people will realize that the big bang theory is false. Meanwhile though, YouTube took down Real Science Radio's best-selling video, Evidence Against the Big Bang (but it's now back up so see it embedded below). So hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams share RSR's List of When We've Been Dissed. For Bob Enyart Live was deplorable before deplorable was cool! And at rsr.org/dissed we present our List of When We've Been Dissed, including by the IRS, Amazon, Facebook, Airbnb, YouTube, and Ann Coulter. Then Bob and Fred review the astronomy studies published in 2012, 2015, and 2018 that completely failed to find the expected dark matter, a failure predicted by creationists like at rsr.org/predictions but contrary to the expectations of NASA, rsr.org/lawrence-krauss, etc.
The co-author of a triceratops soft tissue paper, Kevin Anderson, concludes his challenge from last Friday of Dr. Mary Schweitzer's claim that biological iron has the ability to preserve dinosaur biological material for tens of millions of years. On Real Science Radio, Bob Enyart and Dr. Anderson, a molecular biologist, describe Schweitzer's 24-month experiment, which she then extrapolated to 68 million years, and discuss the many physics and depositional factors that falsify the extraordinary claim of the famed paleontologist, whom RSR amiably refers to as the Iron Maiden. Hear Part 1 at rsr.org/ms.
Co-author of a Triceratops soft tissue paper, Kevin Anderson challenges Dr. Mary Schweitzer's claim that biological iron has the ability to preserve dinosaur biological material for tens of millions of years. On Real Science Radio, Bob Enyart and Dr. Anderson, a molecular biologist, describe Schweitzer's two-year experiment, which she then extrapolated to 68 million years, and they discuss the many physics and depositional factors that falsify the extraordinary claim of the famed paleontologist, whom RSR amiably refers to as the Iron Maiden. See the conclusion at rsr.org/ms2.
* Challenges to and discussion of the iron preservation model:
- 2020 Microscopy Today published the Armitage and Solliday discovery of Triceratops blood clots, veins, valves, and nerve fibers, concluding "that free iron was unavailable... in these Triceratops bones..."
- 2019 More T. rex Soft Tissues at ICR by paleobiochemist PhD Brian Thomas, "Fenton chemistry preservation mechanism suffers big flaws. For one, Fenton reactions overwhelmingly break apart more biomolecules than they bind together. But the biggest flaw is the fact that so many researchers have found a flood of evidence for original proteins themselves, not only the more resistant chemicals that a fraction of Fenton reactions would produce. Thus, even if Fenton reactions produced resistant molecules, then so what? Results continually show the presence of original biochemicals..."

* Factors that Lead to Tissue Decomposition: The folowing list is based on a presentation given by an industry colleague of Dr. Anderson, ICR's Brian Thomas in August 2013 at a Pittsburgh creation conference. Bob Enyart was in attendance considering the apparent contradiction of extant biological tissue in 100-million year-old fossils and wondering how many different rescue devices evolutionists would eventually appeal to in addressing these many factors of degradation:
April 15th Update: Now there's 7! So we only need 9 more! Wow! Thanks to six listeners, we're getting so much closer to the 17 that we're praying for to meet our goal. Brian Enyart took over the studio on Monday. So today, for our science listeners, which is a larger audience, Bob agreed with the staff to allow his nephew Brian's program to air as a Real Science Radio show. Brian makes the case better than Bob could that BEL and RSR are in desperate need of your help.
What, again? Lately, everything rsr.org/rewrites-human-history. The oldest language in India, Dravidian, with 80 derivatives spoken by 214 million people, appeared on the subcontinent only about 4,500 years ago, which means that there is no evidence for human language for nearly 99% of the time that humans were living in Asia! Then, from astronomy, the search for dark matter experiences another (expected) setback. A single star about nine billion light-years away becomes the furthest individual star ever identified by human beings. An intervening galaxy cluster magnifies this blue star's light as if by a lense. Meanwhile, as astronomers run out of places to look for the (hypothesized, but non-existent) dark matter, this single star has just wiped out one of DM's last possible hiding places, in an enormous number of black holes. For being half-the-universe distant, according to NASA, so many black holes would have lined the starlight's journey, they would have left their mark on the star's spectrum. See more at rsr.org/bb#dark-matter and rsr.org/bbp#dark-matter. Finally, the latest pot research documents that worldwide, half of all first-time patients admitted for drug treatment are there for marijuana addiction, which therefore brings even more drug addicts into clinics than for heroin and cocaine combined, according to a paper in Psychological Medicine.
