Real Science Radio

* Real Science Radio on Honey, Babies, and Phil Plait: RSR co-hosts Fred Williams, with Creation Research Society, and Bob Enyart, have fun on this episode of Real Science Radio talking about the topics below from the latest issue of Creation magazine from Fall 2010. Also, they chuckle over the accusation leveled by Discover magazine blogger evolutionist Phil Plait who accused Creation Astronomy's 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." So, 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. :)

* Update: Phil Plait has responded. Stay tuned... On his arbitrary objection (which he does not apply to believers in the Big Bang) that the word "evolution" can only be used for a "change in frequency of alleles", of course that would invalidate the use of the term by physicists, cosmologists, etc., who have faith in abiogenesis, which they refer to as chemical evolution, and also invalidate the use among astronomers of the term "chemical evolution" to refer to the claim that the elements in the periodic table were produced in the Big Bang (and in susequent populations of stars). Nonetheless, regarding the absurd moon landing myth, of course we're grateful to Phil for his Apollo Moon Hoax page which helped us produce our own rsr.org/moon-landing-hoax-refuted program.

* 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.

* Bob and Fred Recommend Subscribing to Creation Magazine: Consider:
- Yale shows that babies are born with a rudimentary understanding of physics, math, and morality. (2012 Update: 60 Minutes segment on babies.)
- Archaeologists uncover the world's oldest honey bee farm in the land "flowing with milk and honey"
- Youth abandon Christ due to a lack of teaching on creation (and godless schools exacerbate the problem)
- Bone microstructure hasn't changed through tens of millions of years of alleged evolutionary history
- Walt Brown recognized as first scientist to publish a tectonic model of the global flood

* Dates, Eyes, Hunting, Nice Hair, and Brains: Real Science Radio co-hosts Fred Williams, with Creation Research Society, and Bob Enyart, have a bit too much fun on this episode of Real Science Friday presenting the latest issue of Creation magazine from Fall 2010, including about:
- Fossil wood from England dated at 25,000 years by carbon-14 embedded in 183-million year old limestone
- Diamonds from Botswana carbon-14 dated at 55,000 years old mined from rock dated 2 billion years old
- Mount St. Helens rock that should date as solidifying 30 years ago but dating 350,000 to 2.8 million years old
- Geologists say Uganda lava is just thousands of years ago but it's radioactively dated at 773 million years old
- The natural selection of hunters and fisherman taking large cod and bighorn sheep are not helping but culling DNA
- Moth eyes don't reflect light, and so once that was recognized, engineers can now make better solar cells
- Geneticists are still blown away by how the genetic code is increasingly far more sophisticated than expected
- Mammal hair found in supposedly 100 million year old amber looks surprisingly "similar" to... modern hair :)
- Richard Dawkins' eyes might be wired backward, but does he sees well enough to now understand why they are?
- Swedish computer scientists want a computer to mimic the human brain, but it would be the size of the pentagon (and would fail anyway).

* Real Science Radio Sorts Out the Fossils: RSR co-hosts Fred Williams, with Creation Research Society, and Bob Enyart, have a fun time on this episode of Real Science Radio presenting more articles from the Summer 2010 issue of Creation magazine including about:
- Fossils squeezing evolutionary history with vertebrates now showing up in the Cambrian explosion!
- Sharks and land plants are pushed back 25 million years; arthropods 40 million, and winged insects 80 million years back!
- Cells with a nucleus now show up a billion years early than previously believed.

* Real Science Radio hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams: have a fun time on this episode of Real Science Radio talking about more articles in the Summer 2010 issue of Creation magazine including on:
- Japan's chief bullet train engineer copied God's bird design for more energy efficient, quieter, and faster trains
- Evolutionists finally admitting that some global distribution of animals occurred via floating vegetation mats
- Small dogs originated... guess where? Where all other land animals and men disseminated from: the Middle East
- Supposed ancestor Little Lucy left footprints but experiments show modern humans make identical prints
- Evolutionists surprised that "stone age" men performed successful surgery with anesthesia
- Evolutionists surprised that "stone age" men worked textiles, wove and dyed fabrics pink, gray, and turquoise

* Special Edition: of Real Science Radio!

* 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 Radio 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 9, 1907, ironically, he was also honored as the founder of the "Association for the Propagation of Ethical Atheism." Even Richard Dawkins admits in this video that Haeckel's drawings were faked and that today's textbooks should not be propagating his error. Yet, because the "gill slits" argument is "too big to fail", evolutionists have taken to arguing that the pharyngeal arches in both fish and human embryos make the same evolutionary point as if the embryo did have gills. However, if those arches are remnants of respiratory function from 400 million years ago, there would have been no evolutionary need to conserve them through the alleged evolutionary eons.  For example, from a leading evolutionist (as quoted by ReMine, 1993, p. 387), "There are no design constraints that require sharks and humans to have similar embryos and yet develop into completely different organisms" (Futuyma, 1983, p. 225). Yet countless times evolution allegedly exergeted such unneeded effort over hundres of millions of years.

* Too Big To Fail: Like National Geographic two years earlier, for the the PBS television series Nova still in 2009, Ernst Haeckel's fraudulent embryo drawings and related theory is too big to fail. The Darwinian media cannot be trusted on news about evolution. Without providing any illustration whatsoever, Nova implies that human and fly embryos look similar. Google Images quickly shows the enormous differences between fly embryos and human embryos. Here are the scientifically accurate illustrations the Darwin marketing reps at Nova failed to display:

* This Show Summary includes the RSR Earthquake Warning Policy: Today's special edition of Real Science Radio on earthquakes features Kevin Lea who's interest in geology has led him to monitor earthquakes worldwide for ten years and to keep his own daily database for five years of earthquake activity as reported by the USGS. Kevin Lea, a graduate of the Naval Nuclear Power program who later worked in the nuclear engineering department of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, now pastors Calvary Church in Port Orchard, Washington. Bob asks Kevin:

- Why did ancient cultures use a 360-day calendar? (see RSR's 360dayyear.com)
- Why did early mathematicians divide a circle into 360 degrees?
- Why does the Earth's core rotate faster than the Earth?
- Why are there so many earthquakes away from plate boundaries?
- Why are there 40,000 volcanoes in the Pacific rather than in the Atlantic?
- Why are so many ocean trenches in the Pacific and not in the Atlantic?
- Why does the center of the Pacific trenches lie opposite of the Mid-Atlantic ridge?
- Why are there super deep earthquakes with epicenters so low they stun geologists?
- Why is there so much liquid rock in the earth?

* Bob Preps the Audience: for next week's program with Kevin Lea on:
- Why ancient cultures used a 360-day calendar?
- Why early mathematicians divided a circle into 360 degrees?
- Why the Earth's rotation sped up from 360 to 365 days per year?
- Why is there so much liquid rock in the earth?
- Why are there 40,000 volcanoes in the Pacific rather than in the Atlantic?
- Why are so many ocean trenches in the Pacific and not in the Atlantic?
- Why does the center of the Pacific trenches lie opposite of the Mid-Atlantic ridge?
- Why GPS shows that the crust does not move as predicted by plate tectonics?
- Why are there so many earthquakes away from plate boundaries?

* Co-Author to Speak in Denver: Dr. Raymond Bohlin, co-author of Darwin's Racists, will speak in Denver on Friday, Sept. 10 at the monthly meeting of the Rocky Mountain Creation Fellowship!

At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes, as Professor Schaaffhausen has remarked, will no doubt be exterminated. The break [between humans and non-humans] will then be rendered wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state, as we may hope, than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as at present between the negro or Australian [aboriginal] and the gorilla. -Charles Darwin, The Descent of Man, p. 156.

* Real Science Radio looks at Creation Magazine: Bob Enyart and co-host Fred Williams have a fun time on this episode of Real Science Friday talking through the Summer 2010 issue of Creation magazine including on:
- Mar's Redness: embarrassed again, big bangers find out that Mars could turn red in less than a billion years: actually, in seven months, Space.com 9-21-09
- Flowering Plants Stand Alone: Science magazine 4-3-09, Nature magazine, the Swedish Museum and Cornell University still agree with Darwin that the evolution of flowering plants is an "abominable mystery" with DNA analysis and radiation scans of fossil plants leaving evolutionists baffled that the "ancestor just isn't there" and that they seemed to have "transformed without intermediates."
- Email from Tim Bowen: Tim asks about whether Bob has debated atheists and Fred listed a few (see below) including Eugenie Scott, Michael Shermer, ABC's Infidel Guy, and today's atheist in the news from University of Texas
- Richared Dawkins: comparing Christianity favorably to Islam
- Bearded Ladies: genetic research shows that women with a lot of facial hair are not a throwback to a hairy past but a very modern mutation
- The Giraffe's Neck: fun creationist update #276

2011 UPDATE: A year later, as quoted below, PZ Myers replied to RSR and to his credit, he acknowledged that he does not have an answer for our trochlea challenge...

2012 UPDATE: PZ blogged on August 17 about the RSR's Debate with atheist AronRa, and he removed Bob post, so we put it back online, and it's just below. But first, check out our challenge to PZ... 

The PZ Myers Trochlea Challenge on Real Science Radio: Well-known evolutionist PZ Myers published a blog titled Bob Enyart's wants me to respect his intelligence. Myers quoted the nicest thing ever written about Bob by anyone he's ever debated (from British Darwinist James Hannam):

"Richard Dawkins once said that 'if you meet somebody who claims not to believe in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid or insane (or wicked, but I'd rather not consider that).' It rapidly became clear that Bob was none of these things. For a start, I know a fair bit about evolution and genetics. But when it came to familiarity with the arguments, he was way ahead of me. On epigenetics, RNA/DNA chemistry, and animal physiology, I was hopelessly outclassed. Bob is not ignorant. And it is pretty clear he is neither stupid nor insane. He came across, in fact, as extremely intelligent. So perhaps he is wicked? Well, despite a brush with the law a few years ago, I am sure he is nothing of the sort. Comments such as those made by Dawkins only further undermine the presumption of good faith on the part of creationists and Darwinists." -British Evolutionist Richard Hannam quoted by PZ Myers

PZ Goes ad hominem On Us, So We Went All ad hominid On Him: So we posted to his blog: "PZ, since you won't debate him, Bob Enyart has now posted what he's calling his one and only question to you: The PZ Myers Trochlea Challenge. It's a sketch of the human eye with the question in its caption." -A Bob Enyart Live staffer
