“New” I never knew it took that much faith!

Why the Universe is the Way it is  Evidence for Fine Tuning of the Universe  Slides

 

Lists of Scientists who question Undirected Origins and/or have Creation perspectives.

 

Why the Peer Review Process inhibits certain publication.  Funny but True” and Scholarly accounts. 

 

 See how RNA copies the DNA and how Proteins get built in your cells! 

 

 ArdiRedefines Human/Primate evolutionary thinking?   It appears that Chimps evolved from “Man”.  Ardi existed before “Lucy” and is more complete.  Like Lucy, assembled via fragments found in the regional area (1.5km).

Nov. 2009 NOVA Series on “Becoming Human” presents Toumai and Selam as 2 conclusive examples of Bi-Pedal ancestors in man’s evolution.  Others disagree.

 

How Identical is the Human and Chimp DNA?  Take the Test!

 

100% of the Human “Genome” has been mapped, which accounts for 1.2% of the DNA strand.  3.8% of the “junk” has now been found to be “similar” amongst mammals.  The massive “variety” in the world may have been “pre-programmed” into the DNA.  

You are “Unique”!   -  Rice has genome 4x the size of humans, an onion even more. 

 

 

 Stem Cell Updates”  Stem Cells can now be made from human skin cells.  A woman’s failed heart is totally repaired in 4 months via stem cells from her bone marrow avoiding risks of rejection factors.  A father’s adult stem cells are used to successfully treat his infant son’s malignant infantile osteoporosis; an exceedingly rare blood disorder that affects approximately 20 U.S. babies a year.  More

 

 Scripture indicates we are fearfully and wonderfully made!  Our maker has “knit” us together in an incredible way.  The “knitting”, our “cellular glue” is the protein Laminin.  Check it out!

 

The search for “dark matter” discovers massive voids in the universe.  The edges of the universe are found to be still be accelerating troubling theories of a self-sustaining universe. It is theorized they can seemingly “pop out of nothing”.

 

Recent fossil finds are changing the impressions of what velociraptor (Jurrasic Park) looked like.  Some think it may have been feathered.  Initial reports and illustrations indicate wide latitude in the interpretation of the fossil evidence.

 

 Greenland is Cooling, then Warming, normal historic variations?; 2007 Arctic ice melt recovered in 2008, temps are stable, data indicates no unusual 30 year variances; Temp reports and statistics available from NASA, others and World-Wide Stations

 

 NOVA series “Becoming Human” indicates that a large lake in east Africa has undergone severe and dramatic climate change multiple times in ancient history.  (View Transcript)

“NARRATOR: Against the backdrop of a slow drying trend, Africa was periodically pulsing with climate change: wet, dry, then wet again, sometimes in the space of a thousand years.”

Massive “Super Volcanoes” have been discovered producing 10,000 times the ash and gasses of Mount St. Helen’s.  Yellowstone Nation Park is one of 23 of them.

 

Nov 9, 2009 - Scientific Conference Challenging Evolution Theory, held in Rome, Italy “So that All Sides may be Heard!”

Abstracts:

1 “The Scientific Impossibility of Evolution”

            Based findings in Geology, Physics, Dating, Paleontology, Bio-Genetics

2 Experiments in Stratification Do Not Support the Theory of Evolution     Analysis

            New Data and Experiments indicate old time frames are off by 99.99%

3 The Second Law of Thermodynamics Excludes Evolution

            Entropy demands a loss in information, never a gain – exactly what we see.

            e.g. Flies lost their wings on windy islands. Nothing generated complex organs!

4 Are Radio-dating Methods Reliable?

            Initial assumptions need correction, discordant results discarded, no forum for objections.

5 Did Megafauna, Man and Dinosaurs Live at the Same Time?

            Collagen found inside Fossilized Dinosaur bones produces a young Carbon-14 date!!

6 Impact of Race Formation and Mutations on the Theory of Evolution

            Human “Races” are due to isolation and in-breeding not Natural Selection and Adaptation.

 

 

We have much to discover!

Evolution-Design Agreement/Difference (animated) 

 

 

Our Christian Faith, Design is not in opposition to the Facts of Evolution.

 

Oranges and  Apples? 

 

Intelligent Design focuses on Origins and embraces the facts of evolution.

 

Evolution focuses on Changes of the Species and does not formally address Origins.

 

Origins is typically taught as an extension of Evolution Theory.

Most scientists interpret the fossil evidence as speciation via adaptation.

Many scientists interpret the fossil evidence as extinction via natural selection.
