Special Edition of Real Science Radio: Driving back from Real Science Radio's trip to totality in Nebraska, Bob called into a KHOW radio talk show. The start of today's BEL program rebroadcasts that call.

With today's standalone program (i.e., no need to first hear Part 1),  Real Science Radio concludes their reporting on the science, political correctness, and practicality of preparing for the Great American Eclipse! Bob Enyart and Fred Williams first chastise those claiming mystical significance to the eclipse, then discuss the appropriate viewing and travel warnings, the main astronomical fact (often obscured by the anti-design science media), and the politically correct complaining about the name of this eclipse by the libs over at AstronomyCast.

Dr. Jerry Bergman, author of 1,170 science papers, articles, and books, has now written the definitive book C. S. Lewis: Anti-Darwinist. One proof of a hundred in the book is what Lewis wrote to leading creationist Bernard Ackworth. "I wish I were younger... [I] think that you may be right in regarding it [evolution] as the central and radical lie in the whole web of falsehood that now governs our lives..." After reading about twenty of Lewis' books, RSR's Bob Enyart concurs with Bergman's conclusion and mentions the demonic character Prof. Weston from Perelandra whom Lewis describes as a devotee of "emergent evolution", the author's term for macroevolution.

* One of RSR's Favorite Lewis Quote: From rsr.org/historical-and-observational-science-equally-good...

On Scientific Thought, by C.S. Lewis
[Christian Reflections, page 77]

If popular thought feels ‘science’ to be different from all other kinds of knowledge because science is experimentally verifiable, popular thought is mistaken. Experimental verification is not a new kind of assurance coming in to supply the deficiencies of mere logic. We should therefore abandon the distinction between scientific and non-scientific thought. The proper distinction is between logical and non-logical thought. - Lewis

* Fossil Insect Ears Sound Warning to Darwinists: RSR co-hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams discuss a great David Coppedge story in the July - Sept., 2012 Creation magazine about fossilized insect ears. Darwinists have claimed that, prior to the (alleged) evolution of bats, early insects would be seen to lack ears. Lo and behold though, a study including by a scientist up the road from RSR, at the University of Colorado at Boulder, have found modern insect ears fossilized where they had expected to find deaf bugs.

* Jerry Coyne is a fruit-fly expert and evolution professor at the University of Chicago, well known for his opposition to creation and his website Why Evolution Is True. Bob Enyart is a young-earth creationist. So which man would you think, the evolutionist or the creationist, would more accurately understand and present the latest cutting-edge discoveries from the world of genetics, and which one would be in denial? See for yourself...

The following three screenshots are from Coyne's criticism of Real Science Radio in his Nov. 19, 2012 blog, with the third presenting his scientific criticism. Following them is the comment that Bob Enyart posted which Jerry has so far rejected from appearing on his blog. First, Coyne's heading...

Next, see Jerry's fun visual comparison of the logos (with RSR hoping that National Public Radio's SciFri sticks with their logo and doesn't copy ours ;)

And last, here is the main scientific criticism that Jerry Coyne chose to level against RSF.

So the question is, on this specific scientific matter, is the famed University of Chicago evolution professor correct, or is the fundamentalist Christian young earth creationist correct? Well, for starters, far from this being primarily a single-celled phenomena, even vertebrate genomes are so erratic and unwilling to be forced into a Darwinian lineage, that in their January 2013 journal, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reports that horizontal gene transfer must have "transformed vertebrate genomes."

Real Science Radio hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams concludes their series on this interesting biblical and scientific question: Did it rain before the flood! For Part 1 see rsr.org/rain and check out Dr. Walt Brown's article on the topic.

* Two Questions: How many water molecules are in an average-sized raindrop? And, how does that answer help to explain why po[lultion is needed to get rain?

* One Reason For Today's Severe Hurricanes: The Coriolis effect (from the rotation of the Earth) causes air, which would otherwise flow directly toward low pressure areas, to turn perpendicular to its velocity (thus causing hurricanes to rotate in opposite directions in the northern and southern hemispheres). Consider that if the Earth rotated more slowly, there would be less Coriolis effect, which would result in less severe or an absence of hurricanes. Thus the speeding up of the Earth's rotation (from its shrinking by the melting of its outercore) from its slower initial 360 day year to today's 365 rotations per orbit, is one of the post-flood factors that has led to devastating hurricanes. For this and other reasons, the slower-rotating pre-flood Earth would have prevented the development of hurricanes.
