Aujourd'hui, on se pose une grande question scientifique… Comment la théorie de l'évolution a-t-elle révolutionné la manière dont nous nous voyons ? La thématique est vertigineuse, car elle touche à notre origine, à notre place dans le monde et à notre rapport à nous-mêmes. Pendant des siècles, l'humanité se raconte une histoire rassurante, dans laquelle l'homme occupe le centre de la création. Puis, au 19e siècle, une théorie scientifique vient bouleverser ce récit, déplacer l'humain de son piédestal et le replacer dans le vaste continuum du vivant. Cette idée, simple en apparence, provoque un choc intellectuel, religieux et moral dont les effets se font encore sentir aujourd'hui. Pour comprendre cette révolution, il faut revenir à ce que l'on croyait avant, suivre le parcours de Charles Darwin et mesurer en quoi cette théorie transforme durablement notre regard sur nous-mêmes. _____ "Briller en société" est un podcast original NRJ, à retrouver sur toutes les plateformes d'écoute et sur le site et l'application NRJ.fr Texte : Daphné Breytenbach Voix et mix : Louis Daubé.

Why did a monk in a Moravian monastery spend eight years counting 30,000 pea plants — and how did the number three to one unlock the secret of heredity that Charles Darwin couldn't solve? Why did Gregor Mendel publish one of the greatest scientific discoveries of the nineteenth century to almost complete silence, only for his paper to be rediscovered thirty-four years later by three scientists who had all independently reached the same conclusion? And how did the statistician who accused him of fraud turn out to have made the statistical error himself?Join John and Patrick as they tell the story of Czechia and the pea — the monastery garden, the number that changed biology, and the 145-year arc from Mendel's first cross-pollination to the Human Genome Project...----------In Sponsorship with J&K Fresh.The customs broker who is your fruit and veggies' personal bodyguard.

TalkSPORT's Emmet Kennedy, Yahoo Sports' Andy Newton and former jockeys George Gorman and Georgia Cox bring you the Final Furlong Podcast Royal Ascot Betting Guide for Friday at the Royal Meeting. The feature race is a blockbuster renewal of the Coronation Stakes as Aidan O'Brien's Classic-winning fillies Precise and True Love clash for the third time this season. Ryan Moore has chosen Precise, but has he finally made the right decision after Wayne Lordan partnered True Love to victory in the 1000 Guineas before steering Precise to success in the Irish 1000 Guineas?

The video draws a stark contrast between the legacy of Charles Darwin and the Christian understanding of human dignity, arguing that Darwin's theory of evolution, particularly his assertion that humans evolved from primates, has profound moral and theological consequences. It highlights how Darwin's views—such as his racial hierarchies and the concept of 'survival of the fittest'—paved the way for dehumanizing ideologies, including eugenics and genocide. The sermon underscores that the rejection of divine creation as a foundation for human worth has eroded moral boundaries, enabling justifications for abortion, euthanasia, and infanticide. By referencing Westminster Abbey as a symbol of enduring legacy, it warns that ideas, especially those denying God's role in creation, carry lasting and destructive consequences. Ultimately, the message affirms that true human value is rooted in being made in God's image, not in evolutionary progression.

Rewind to 18–24 June 2006, when Pluto got some new friends, a teenage country singer quietly launched a global empire and everyone suddenly learned what drifting was.

Alita visitó a Susana Medina en Mezclas Abruptas y el resultado fue un viaje, literal y metafórico, por la ecología evolutiva, las extinciones masivas y la ciencia detrás de los estados alterados de conciencia. Platicaron sobre por qué tu perro te lame la cara, el dilema moral de extinguir a todos los perros o a todas las abejas, y lo que la ciencia sabe sobre los viajes con DMT y las misteriosas entidades amorosas que muchas personas dicen encontrar. También se aventaron una buena crítica al privilegio de buscar la iluminación espiritual con ayahuasca desde la comodidad de la Condesa, ignorando las consecuencias ambientales y sociales que estas prácticas pueden tener en el Amazonas. Sigue a Alita y encuentra sus libros Un trip de ciencia psicodélica y El libro de las investigaciones medianamente serias en tu librería favorita. También puedes escuchar sus audiolibros en Everand.

If you've ever walked out of a doctor's office feeling dismissed, confused, or like something just didn't add up, this episode is for you. In this conversation, we're pulling back the curtain on something most people never stop to examine: the difference between science itself and the human biases, financial interests, and worldviews that shape how science gets used. As a registered nurse with over 17 years inside the pharmaceutical industry, I've seen this pattern up close. And as a Christian woman, I believe this is one of the biggest blind spots in the church today. This episode is for the Christian woman who is tired of being told to simply trust the system, who senses that something deeper is going on, and who is ready to bring discernment and faith into every health decision she makes. --- The Real Threat to Your Health May Not Be What You Think We live in a culture that shuts down questions with slogans. Question the consensus and you're labeled ignorant. But here's what Merriam-Webster actually says science is: systematized knowledge that may be studied or learned. Why would anyone be against learning? Science in and of itself is not the problem. The problem is the human bias, financial agenda, and worldview behind some of the science. When evaluating any study or health claim, wise questions to ask include: - Who ran the experiment? - Who funded it? - How many people were included? - What does the researcher stand to gain? - What worldview is shaping the interpretation? A perfect study does not exist. And even if it did, the conclusions drawn from it would still pass through a human filter. --- Worldview Shapes Everything, Even in the Lab To illustrate how a scientist's worldview affects their conclusions, consider Charles Darwin, widely taught as the father of evolutionary theory. A Princeton University article titled "The Descent of Man, 150 Years On," published in the journal Science, documents that Darwin described indigenous peoples of the Americas and Australia as lesser than Europeans, referred to African peoples as cognitively inferior, and characterized women as less capable than white men. His worldview was deeply racist and sexist, and it shaped his science. This is not an isolated example. It is a pattern. --- We've Been Wrong Before. More Than Once. Throughout history, the cultural and medical consensus has been confidently wrong: - Margarine was promoted as a heart-healthy butter alternative - Cigarette smoking was endorsed by medical doctors as safe or even beneficial - All dietary fat was declared the enemy - Kellogg's cereal was marketed as a complete, healthy breakfast - Formula was pushed as superior to breast milk - Giving birth on your back in a hospital was presented as the only safe option These were not fringe ideas. They were mainstream consensus backed by experts. And they were wrong. --- The Brainwashing Goes Beyond Health The same pattern shows up across every area of culture. We've been conditioned to believe that delaying marriage and children is the sophisticated choice, that divorce is self-care, that pornography is harmless, that sexual identity is the foundation of human identity, and that children and the elderly are burdens rather than blessings. Each of these ideas contradicts both scripture and human flourishing. When we can see the pattern clearly in culture, we become better equipped to recognize it in healthcare too. --- Why the Church Has a Blind Spot Here Many believers view the medical system as conflict-free and the science as settled. But if the enemy can convince us to put harmful things into our bodies while calling it health, he can do significant damage without ever being noticed. This is not a call to throw out the entire medical system. It is a call to bring the same discernment to your healthcare decisions that you bring to every other area of your faith. Seeking God's wisdom first for your health is not anti-science. It is stewardship. --- Timestamped Highlights - 0:01 - What if the real threat to your health is assuming the consensus is always correct? - 0:29 - Why questioning science gets mislabeled as ignorance - 1:26 - The right questions to ask about any study or health claim - 2:22 - Darwin's worldview and what it reveals about how science gets interpreted - 3:48 - A cultural history of things we were confidently told that turned out to be wrong - 5:12 - How the same brainwashing pattern shows up in marriage, sexuality, and family - 6:37 - Why this is a blind spot in the church and why it matters for holistic health - 7:08 - The real goal: not to reject the system, but to question it wisely --- Key Takeaways - Science is a tool. Like any tool, its value depends entirely on who is using it and why. - Financial interests and personal worldview shape scientific conclusions, sometimes significantly. - History shows us repeatedly that the consensus can be wrong. Discernment is not ignorance. - The church is not immune to cultural and industrial influence when it comes to health. - Seeking God's wisdom for your health is an act of faith, not fear. - You do not have to choose between faith and informed health decisions. You were made for both. --- Ready to Take the Next Step?

150 years ago, Charles Darwin noticed that birds and humans were both drawn to bright plumage and elaborate display. He called this interspecies esthetic appreciation a “shared taste for the beautiful.” Now, in a recent study, an interdisciplinary team of scientists built an online game exploring the mating calls of 16 different species and discovered, to their surprise, that humans and animals agree on which sounds are more attractive.PLUS:How the brain can learn to truly multitaskFrom the archives: The Russian space mirror that flashed across Canadian skiesThe Matrix is real: birds, dragonflies and dogs see the world in slow motionCould the next giant particle collider unlock the mysteries of the universe?

Prächtige Geweihe, schillernde Federn, bunte Köpfe oder beeindruckende Körpergrößen: Bei vielen Tierarten sehen Männchen und Weibchen erstaunlich unterschiedlich aus. Dieses Phänomen nennt man Sexualdimorphismus. Doch warum investieren Tiere so viel Energie in bunte Farben oder überdimensionierte Waffen?Wir sprechen über die Ideen von Charles Darwin zur sexuellen Selektion, über Konkurrenzkämpfe, Partnerwahl und die Frage, warum Schönheit in der Evolution manchmal wichtiger sein kann als praktische Nützlichkeit.Eine Folge über Eitelkeit, Wettstreit und die erstaunlichen Wege, auf denen Evolution Unterschiede zwischen den Geschlechtern formt.

In this episode of Believing the Bible, the hosts tackle one of life’s toughest questions: Is God really in control? Exploring the tension between God’s sovereignty and human free will, the discussion dives into why suffering exists, what role Satan plays in the world, and how biblical passages from Job to the crucifixion help make sense of it all. Referencing thinkers like Sigmund Freud and Charles Darwin, the conversation highlights how different worldviews attempt to answer the problem of evil. Thought provoking and grounded in Scripture, this episode challenges listeners to rethink control, faith, and trust in the midst of life’s uncertainties.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this co-hosted episode of From a Lancashire Lass, Sophia and I visit Moorside House, home to the Grove family, Heath, Kelly, Jericho and Eden. This house was once the home of Lydia Becker, the women's suffrage pioneer. We talk all about Lydia and her legacy, her friendship with Charles Darwin and the character of her childhood home. We also talk to the family about how the house has inspired their book series, 'The Series of Silence', and how they have created different gins to accompany each book in the series.

Der spannendere Teil eines Baumes liegt unter der Erde – und ist meist viel größer, als man denkt. In dieser Folge von Peter und der Wald nimmt euch Peter mit in vor seine Haustür und zeigt direkt vor Ort, was unter unseren Füßen passiert: warum Wurzelsysteme deutlich größer sind, als viele denken, wieso ein alter Stumpf noch Jahrzehnte weiterleben kann. Außerdem geht es um das unterirdische Kommunikationsnetz der Bäume – Charles Darwin hat schon vor 150 Jahren von einem „Wurzelhirn" gesprochen – und darum, warum man im eigenen Garten lieber selten und richtig gießen sollte als oft und wenig. Eine Folge für alle, die wissen wollen, was direkt unter ihren Füßen vor sich geht.

Parables are a good way to teach. Jesus often used parables to teach a lesson. Parables can even be a good way to teach science. However, parables cannot be used to establish scientific fact.Unfortunately, Charles Darwin frequently used parables as part of his scientific method. Many modern evolutionists continue that tradition. Let's look at an example. Those who believe in evolution have tried to find an explanation for why some birds have luxurious, bright plumage. Does the peacock really need those brilliant tail feathers? Well, say evolutionists, females prefer the males with the most beautiful plumage. So, the brightest males had more babies. Evolutionists call this sexual selection.What does the story prove? It doesn't prove anything in the scientific sense. It doesn't explain where the colors came from in the first place. It doesn't explain why females prefer showy males. Nor does it explain where peacocks originally came from. And it doesn't explain why some birds have very drab colors. The biggest problem with this explanation is that it simply begs the question. You see, many evolutionists admit that they have no good explanation for how sexual reproduction evolved in the first place.So the evolutionists' story for how the peacock came to have such bright feathers is just a story--not scientific proof. And when it comes to stories, I prefer the stories reported in the Bible, because they have our Creator's own personal guarantee of truth.2 Timothy 4:3-4"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”Prayer: I pray, dear Father, that You would give me a clear-thinking, critical mind informed by Your Word. Help me use these abilities to clearly see the errors of the world's thinking and better appreciate Your wisdom. In Jesus' Name. Amen.REF.: "The Sight that Made Darwin Sick!" Riginal View, No. 8.

In this episode of Believing the Bible, the hosts take on tough cultural and historical questions from evolution and the reliability of Genesis to cancel culture and America’s founding figures. Examining the legacy of Charles Darwin and the beliefs of leaders like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, the discussion explores how worldview shapes our understanding of race, equality, and history. The team also dives into what the Bible really says about slavery, human identity, and our ultimate purpose challenging listeners to consider not just what they believe, but who they follow.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Aujourd'hui, nous allons réhabiliter un mal-aimé. On l'a longtemps traité de « vestige inutile », de « bombe à retardement » ou d'erreur de l'évolution. Je parle de votre appendice. Pendant plus d'un siècle, on a suivi l'avis de Charles Darwin. Pour lui, ce petit tube n'était qu'un reste archaïque de notre passé de mangeurs d'herbe. Mais la science moderne vient de prouver que Darwin s'est trompé. L'appendice n'est pas un déchet, c'est une forteresse biologique... Hébergé par Acast.

Proverbios 4:14"No entres por la vereda de los impíos, Ni vayas por el camino de los malos".La gente pudo darse cuenta de que Charlie era un niño problemático, aún cuando era tan sólo un niño pequeño. Por su propia declaración luego en la vida, él fue un niño sádico que sentía gran placer en torturar y matar animales. Uno de sus pasatiempos favoritos era matar a los pájaros golpeándolos en la cabeza con un martillo.Cuando llegó a ser un adolescente, Charlie siguió comportándose como un individuo retorcido. A los17 años de edad, dedicó el verano y el otoño a matar animales, no por alimento, sino por el puro placer de matar. Posteriormente, empezó a hacer planes para realizar una travesía por el océano que le llevaría a muchas tierras exóticas, y decidió llevar varias pistolas, con la esperanza de encontrar caníbales para poder matarlos.Si aún no lo ha adivinado, estoy hablando de Charles Darwin. No sólo era un niño problemático y obsesionado en torturar y matar animales, sino que creció para dar rienda suelta a una filosofía que dejaría a todo el mundo en ruinas, después de la publicación de su libro El origen de las especies.Como Kevin Swanson señala en su libro Apóstata: Los hombres que destruyeron el occidente cristiano. Darwin vino de una larga línea de apóstatas, entre los cuales se incluían a su padre, Robert, y a su abuelo, Erasmus, quien fue un pionero humanista y un pensador del siglo de las luces. Sin embargo, fue el apóstata Charles Darwin que dio la espalda a su Creador, y que desde la tumba, aún alcanza y destruye con su filosofía incontables millones de vidas.Oración: Padre Celestial, ruego que bendigas a pastores, maestros de la Biblia y ministerios bíblicos-creacionales que están proclamando la verdad sobre Darwin y su filosofía atea. ¡Muéstrame cómo ser una bendición para ellos! Amén.Ref: Kevin Swanson, Apóstata: Los hombres que destruyeron el Occidente cristiano. Imagen: Charles Darwin, George Richmond, PD, Wikimedia Commons.

Charles Darwin and some of his friends saw a certain beauty and order in evolution, believing that random processes can bring about living systems. That anyone survived what a poet has described as ‘nature, red in tooth and claw,' is a miracle for naturalists. Others believe miracles, if you can call them that, happen because some impersonal cosmic force allows them.There's not much comfort in that, though. Remember the account of ancient people who longed to see a miracle from their God? The Egyptians developed a complex system of gods that operated on a whim, but when the God of Moses showed up, they very clearly understood the true source of miracles. And that was the point of the 10 plagues: to show them that the Creator God was infinitely powerful and capable of producing miracles. We've been given a reasonable source that tells us where miracles come from: The Bible. Deuteronomy 29:2–3 says, “Moses summoned all the Israelites and said to them, ‘Your eyes have seen all that the Lord did in Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his officials and to all his land. With your own eyes, you saw those great trials, those signs, and great wonders.'”Here we see clearly that the source of any and all miracles is God Himself, not a force in the universe. Not a spirit guide. Miracles are from God alone, and He wants you to experience miracles in your life. He wants you to live an abundant life, not one of defeat and misery and oppression. His limitless power was seen by the ancients, and today, people on every continent see that miracle-working power. There's a beautiful description of this in Isaiah 43:13, which says, “Yes, and from ancient days I am He. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?” And this is the truth we can expect from the One who really does want to help you, and help you today. Let's pray. Father God, you have put within each of us the knowledge that tells us you are the source of all miracle-working power. And this is part of the good news of Jesus that we get to tell others about. Thank you for the miracle of Jesus. Thank you for all of Your miracles. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

You might find this hard to believe, but back in Charles Darwin's day, the cell was thought of as little more than a piece of jelly. Thomas Henry Huxley called it a “simple, homogenous globule of undifferentiated protoplasm.” But today, thanks to discoveries in molecular biology, we've discovered the cell is something far more astonishing. And that begs a crucial question: if the cell is infinitely more than Darwin envisioned, can a Darwinian process really explain its origin, and how it came to produce the diversity we see in life? On today's ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid begins a two-part conversation with molecular biologist Dr. Douglas Axe and biochemist Dr. Michael Behe, two experts featured in the new movie The Story of Everything. Over two episodes they'll discuss their participation in the movie and unpack some of the insights they share in it. We're also sharing some exclusive clips from the movie! Source

La Mesa - Viernes 17.04.2026 - Charles Darwin: ¿Cuán importante ha sido su aporte a la ciencia? by En Perspectiva

Rougir est une réaction universelle… et profondément humaine. Charles Darwin la qualifiait déjà de “plus humaine des expressions”. Pourtant, son mécanisme reste longtemps resté mystérieux. Aujourd'hui, la science commence à lever le voile.Tout commence dans le cerveau. Lorsque nous sommes exposés socialement — par exemple si nous faisons une erreur en public ou si l'on attire soudain l'attention sur nous — une réaction émotionnelle se déclenche. Ce moment de gêne active le système nerveux sympathique, le même qui intervient dans la réponse “fuite ou combat”.Cette activation provoque la libération d'adrénaline. Résultat : les vaisseaux sanguins, notamment ceux du visage, se dilatent. Le flux sanguin augmente, la température de la peau monte… et le visage devient rouge.Pourquoi le visage, précisément ? Parce que les capillaires y sont particulièrement nombreux et proches de la surface. C'est ce qui rend le phénomène visible.Mais rougir ne se résume pas à un simple réflexe physique. C'est aussi un phénomène social très particulier.Une étude en neurosciences publiée en 2024 a montré que le rougissement est étroitement lié à l'activation de zones cérébrales impliquées dans l'émotion et l'attention à soi. Dans cette expérience, 40 participants observaient des vidéos d'eux-mêmes chantant au karaoké. Résultat : leur température des joues augmentait significativement lorsqu'ils se regardaient eux-mêmes, bien plus que lorsqu'ils regardaient d'autres personnes.Cela confirme une idée clé : on rougit surtout lorsqu'on devient conscient de soi… sous le regard des autres.Les psychologues parlent de “self-conscious emotions”, des émotions liées à la perception de soi dans un contexte social. Rougir apparaît lorsqu'on pense être jugé, évalué, ou simplement observé.Mais ce n'est pas tout.Le rougissement a aussi une fonction sociale. Une étude publiée en 2019 dans la revue Cognition and Emotion a montré que les visages rougis sont perçus comme plus sincères et plus dignes de pardon après une erreur. Autrement dit, rougir peut jouer le rôle d'un signal social : il montre que l'on reconnaît une faute ou une gêne.C'est peut-être pour cela que l'évolution a conservé ce mécanisme. Rougir serait une forme d'“excuse automatique”, un moyen d'apaiser les tensions sociales.Enfin, il existe un cercle vicieux bien connu : plus on craint de rougir, plus on rougit. L'anxiété renforce l'activation du système nerveux… et amplifie le phénomène.Au fond, rougir n'est pas un défaut. C'est un langage silencieux du corps. Une manière involontaire mais très efficace de dire aux autres : “je suis conscient de moi… et de votre regard”. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

It's one of history's most enduring mysteries: the lost civilization of Atlantis. From a 19th century congressman who convinced Charles Darwin it was real, to psychic Edgar Casey predicting the discovery of an underwater stone road in the Bahamas decades before divers actually found it, to a 25-mile-wide circular formation in the Sahara that matches Plato's description almost exactly — the rabbit hole goes deep. Really deep. Like, possibly-under-Antarctica deep. We through the major theories: a pre-Ice Age global civilization wiped out by a comet, crystal-powered technology misused by the morally corrupt, a misremembered volcanic catastrophe, and of course, aliens setting up a base of operations on a nice island before conveniently flooding the evidence. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Why has Darwin's theory of evolution succeeded so dramatically? The official story, of course, is that it provides a sweeping and complete explanation of the development of life on Earth, with the claim that it's rock solid because it's grounded in an abundance of evidence. But when we take a closer look at that official story, we see that it actually resembles more of a myth, a legendary origin story that has been championed and propped up successfully for over 160 years. On this ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid treats you to a reading from False Messiah, a book by Neil Thomas recently published by Discovery Institute Press. The book provides valuable insight around the mythology of Darwinism as well as the mythical figure of Charles Darwin himself. To help us understand why Darwinism has persisted for so long, it's helpful to take a closer look at the forces that moved it forward and upheld it, lest we be tempted to think it has succeed purely on the strength of its scientific arguments.

Can you believe the world's most famous music is 3,000 years old?  Not necessarily from the first note written, but from the idea that created it. In this episode we cross paths with Thomas Edison, Stanley Kubrick,  Walt Disney, The Lone Ranger, Richard Strauss, Johannes Brahms, Charles Darwin, The Who, Edvard Grieg, Peer Gynt, Freidrich Schiller and Friedrich Nietzche and many more. 

In this episode, we're joined by professor Joel Wainwright (co-author of Climate Leviathan) to discuss his newest book, The End: Marx, Darwin, and the Natural History of the Climate Crisis. Together, Breht and Joel explore the intellectual impact Charles Darwin had on Karl Marx, and why it matters for the ecological crisis of our time. Wainwright argues that Marx's study of Darwin helped him develop a distinctly Marxian concept of natural history, reshaping how he understood history, nature, and capitalism itself. Reading Capital through this lens, they unpack how Marx's critique becomes an ecological critique: capitalism as a social formation that reorganizes the human–Earth relation, producing crisis, "surplus" populations, and new forms of domination - and have some fun disagreements along the way. They close by asking what this natural-historical Marx can contribute to building an eco-socialist alternative beyond capitalist growth and climate catastrophe.

Do your eyes ever play tricks on you? Our eyes regularly play tricks on us with the help of our brains.Repeated research has shown that the images we see are not exactly what our eyes see. Our eyes and brains work together to construct the images we call sight. It's not that our eyes are out to hoodwink us. Most of the time, our eyes are working to help us. Working together, our brain and eyes add logical details to the images we see. Each of us has a blind spot in our vision because there are no vision cells where the optic nerve is. Instead of showing us a spot of nothing at the blind point in our field of vision, our brain invents an image from surrounding details. Your brain pulls the same trick on you when you proofread your completed manuscript. While others can still find typos, you may not. Your brain knows what you are saying, and so it automatically shows you a repaired version, making many of your typing errors invisible.Your pupils can reveal your thoughts. Studies show that when seeing unpleasant scenes, the pupils retract. Pleasant or interesting scenes cause the pupils to open wider.Charles Darwin wrote, “To suppose that the eye, with all of its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree.” We don't often agree with Charles Darwin, but this time we do!Psalm 139:14“I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”Prayer: Dear Father, I thank You that the excellence of Your work in making us is so noteworthy that even those who want to deny You cannot easily do it. Teach me how to use this to lead others to Christ. In His Name. Amen.REF: McCutcheon, M. The Compass in Your Nose… Los Angeles: Jeremy P. Tarcher.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA JÓVENES 2026“DIFERENTENarrado por: Daniel RamosDesde: Connecticut, USAUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church===================|| www.drministries.org ||===================25 de MarzoEfecto DominóEn el principio Dios creó los cielos y la tierra (Génesis 1:1).En el libro El ente y la esencia, Tomás de Aquino declaró que "un pequeño error en el principio se hace grande al final". Este concepto puede aplicarse al contexto del estudio de los orígenes, tal como se describe en el Génesis. Conocer la doctrina bíblica de la Creación es el fundamento indispensable para la teología cristiana y debería ser el punto de partida para todo estudiante de las Escrituras.En Génesis 1:1, vemos quién es el Agente de la Creación (Dios), cuándo se realizó (al principio), cómo ocurrió (por acción divina) y qué fue creado (los cielos y la Tierra). A partir de este preámbulo, encontramos en la Biblia la historia del Dios Creador que se relaciona con sus criaturas. En Génesis 1 y 2, vemos también cuál era el proyecto original de Dios para el ser humano: su familia, su trabajo, su dieta, el día de descanso y su relación con la naturaleza. Por lo tanto, conocer los orígenes es fundamental para saber quiénes somos, de dónde venimos y cuál es el propósito de la vida.Desafortunadamente, muchas personas consideran el relato de Génesis como una narración mitológica o algo que debe interpretarse a la luz de la teoría de la evolución, como hacen muchos teólogos contemporáneos. Los adeptos a la evolución teísta y a la Creación progresiva, por ejemplo, intentan armonizar la Creación con aspectos de la teoría cosmológica de Charles Darwin.Sin embargo, esta unión es defectuosa, pues hiere el Texto Sagrado y minimiza la omnipotencia divina. La Biblia dice: "Porque él dijo, y fue hecho; él mandó, y existió" (Sal. 33:9). Si no aceptamos este y otros textos como relatos literales, corremos el riesgo de alegorizar el resto de las Escrituras y crear un desastroso "efecto dominó". Después de todo, si estamos en un proceso de evolución, ¿para qué el Juicio o el regreso de Jesús? Corremos el riesgo de relativizar la capacidad de Dios para curar enfermos, resucitar muertos y cumplir la promesa del "nuevo Cielo" y de la "nueva Tierra".Mientras que la frase de Aquino es cierta, "el tiro le salió por la culata": al mezclar la teología bíblica con la filosofía griega, prácticamente negó la Creación como narración histórica y produjo un efecto cascada en la tradición cristiana. Esto debe alertarnos sobre la manera en la que entendemos el estudio de los orígenes. Sin los fundamentos, el edificio de la fe caerá.

It may surprise you to learn that evolution goes back to a time long before Charles Darwin. Even two thousand years ago, those who wanted to escape the inevitable conclusion that we are responsible to our Creator were trying to explain all things by appealing to natural laws.So, though he lived before Charles Darwin, Thomas Jefferson knew of evolutionary ideas because men like Immanuel Kant, James Hutton, and Thomas Malthus were promoting them. Of course, with three doctorates, well-versed in the sciences, and at home in six languages, Jefferson was as well-educated as anyone. And he pointedly rejected evolutionary ideas.Jefferson wrote against evolution and in defense of belief in the Creator. "I hold (without appeal to revelation) that when we take a view of the universe in its parts, general or particular, it is impossible for the human mind not to perceive and feel a conviction of design, consummated skill, and indefinite power, in every atom of its composition... It is impossible... for the human mind not to believe that there is, in all this design, cause, and effect, up to an ultimate cause, a Fabricator of all things... Surely this unanimous sentiment renders this more probable than that of the few other hypotheses..."We add that the creation testifies of the Creator of all, but only in the Bible do we learn of His deep love for us in Jesus Christ. Let the creation lead you to His revealed Word and love for you in Christ.Psalm 139:15"My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth."Prayer: Dear Father, when I am moved by a beautiful sunset or the sweet song of a bird to glorify You, let me be reminded to return to Your Word that I may learn even more about the forgiveness of my sins in Jesus Christ.

In this episode of The Tactics Meeting, Dan Smiley convenes an expert panel to explore the evolving role of the Safety Officer in complex emergency responses. Drawing on lessons from maritime incidents, accident investigations, and even Charles Darwin's concept of adaptability, the discussion examines how safety culture is built in real time within Unified Command. Panelists share insights from salvage operations, incident management training, and transportation safety investigations to highlight why adaptability, communication, and learning from past mistakes are essential to keeping responders safe. The conversation also explores how emerging tools like AI could help bridge the gap between written plans and real-world operations in the field.

Edtech ThrowdownEpisode 210: AI Prompt Writing for EducatorsWelcome to the EdTech Throwdown. This is episode 210 called “AI Prompt Writing for Educators.” In this episode, we'll explore the power of prompts and how they can be the difference maker for those who use AI effectively and those who fall behind. This is another episode you don't want to miss. Check it out.Segment 1: Narrative: People still have an extremely wide range of engagement with AI. Nick has two conversations about AI - 1 with his in-laws about AI telling people to commit crimes and 1 with another teacher who thinks it just writes papers for students.Anatomy of a good prompt1. Don't just ask a question; tell the AI who it is and who it is talking to. This sets the tone and the "knowledge ceiling" of the response.What to include:Give it a job title (e.g., "veteran IB Biology teacher") and define the target audience (e.g., "students with no prior coding experience").2. Be incredibly specific about the verb. Avoid "Help me with..." and use "Analyze," "Draft," "Critique," or "Categorize."What to include:Provide the "raw material." If you want a rubric, paste the assignment. If you want a response to a parent email, paste the email.3. Tell the AI exactly how you want the information delivered. Don't settle for a wall of text.What to include:Specify the format (e.g., "a 3-column table," "a bulleted list of 5 items," or "a formal email script"). Add constraints like "Keep the total word count under 200" or "Use a witty, encouraging tone."Be purposeful with your AI use. Always ask - is there a reason for me to use AI here? Would it benefit my brain to do this myself? Sometimes doing even simple tasks yourself have benefits to maintaining your mind's own plasticity and critical thinking. You'll notice that many of our favorite prompts are for monotonous, time consuming, repetition-based tasks that would not be possible without the use of AI.Segment 2: Our favorite prompt libraries:Teacher Serverhttps://www.aiforeducation.io/promptshttps://promptbase.com/https://gail.wharton.upenn.edu/prompt-library/https://www.thepromptindex.com/Our favorite prompts:Multiple versions of the same question: Here is an AP Exam question about topic X: ____copy paste in the question ____. Can you write 8 more versions of this that all follow the same format but have different numbers and variations of each question.Meta search: Find for me all the ___ exam questions that deal with ___topic___.Text leveller: "Take the following text about [Topic] and rewrite it into three versions:Version A (The Hook):Written as a high-interest TikTok script for a 14-year-old.Version B (The Standard):On-grade level with 5 bolded 'power vocabulary' words.Version C (The Scaffold):For a student with a 3rd-grade reading level, using short sentences (max 10 words) and a 'one-concept-per-paragraph' rule. Include a 'Bridge Table' that helps Version C students eventually understand the key terms in Version B."I struggle with coming up withreal-world examplesof things. "I'm teaching [Mathematical/Scientific Concept]. Give me 5 'weird' real-world applications of this concept in careers students wouldn't expect (e.g., fashion design, professional gaming, or forest management). For one of these, draft a 2-minute 'Lesson Hook' story that starts with a high-stakes problem only this concept can solve."Jeopardy Clue WriterYou are a Jeopardy Clue Writer. Anytime an AP Biology term is entered, you will create a jeopardy clue using the AP Biology standards set by the AP College Board. For example, if someone entered Charles Darwin into the prompt, you would respond with: He developed the theory of evolution by means of natural selection after a five-year voyage on the HMS Beagle. Let the output be Times new roman font size 12.Add study guides or notes toGarbage Pail TeachersRole and GoalYou are the Garbage Pail Teachers Creator. Your purpose is to take an uploaded photo of a person and a provided name (first or last) and transform them into a high-quality, 1980s-style trading card parody. You specialize in gross-out humor, puns, and classroom-themed chaos.Image Generation GuidelinesWhen a user uploads a photo and provides a name, use the image_generation tool with these specific aesthetic requirements:Art Style: Classic 1980s trading card aesthetic. Hand-painted look with airbrushed textures, vibrant but slightly grimy colors, and thick outlines.Characters: The character must be a caricature of the person in the photo, reimagined as a "teacher" in a messy, surreal, or gross-out school setting.The Sticker Frame: The image must be encased in a classic die-cut sticker border (a white peel-off line) with a colorful header at the top.The Banner: The header must say "GARBAGE PAIL TEACHERS" in the iconic bubbly font.Naming Logic: Create a rhyming or alliterative nickname based on the provided name.Example: For "Guise," use "Greasy Guisey." For "Smith," use "Sickly Smitty."Place this name in the iconic nameplate bar at the bottom or side of the image.Creative ProcessAnalyze the Photo: Identify key features (glasses, hair style, expression) to maintain a "parody likeness."Teacher Theme: Place the character in a classroom context (e.g., covered in chalk dust, tangled in computer wires, eating a "rotten apple," or melting into a desk).The "Gross" Factor: Add a humorous, mildly gross-out element consistent with the original 80s cards (slimy textures, exaggerated expressions, or comical disasters).Interaction StyleStay in character as a mischievous 1980s trading card editor.When a user provides a name, confirm the "punny" nickname you've chosen before or during the image generation.Safety Note: Keep the humor "PG-13" gross-out (like the original cards). Avoid mean-spirited content, gore, or truly offensive imagery. Focus on "slapstick mess."Keep the correct spelling of the name. Have the adjective start with the same letter as the name. For example, if the inputted name was "Guise" make it "Greasy-Guise or if the name was "Johnson" make it "Junky-Food Johnson"AP Biology Lesson Plan GeneratorYou are an AP Biology teacher making formalized lesson plans using the College board AP Biology Standards. You must include the following parts of the lesson plan for each lesson: lesson objectives, standards, warm up, instructional strategies, closing activities, differentiation of instruction and/or assessment, and assessment techniques.

Make sure The title of the lesson is The Unit # and Lesson # with the title of the lesson and that everything under each section is bulleted. Please don't use emojis in the lesson planAdd

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (03/02/26), Hank shares how Charles Darwin realized the fossil record did not support his theory of gradual step-by-step evolutionary development, but hoped future generations of scientists would make the necessary discoveries to validate his contention. But after 150 years of exploration, the fossil evidence demonstrates the contrary to Darwin's prediction.Hank also answers the following questions:I'm sharing with a Muslim on us being the children of God and Jesus being the Son of God. How can I explain the difference to him? Bob - TN (4:53)Is there a secret rapture? Does Jesus come twice? Robert - St. Louis, MO (15:13)If the dead in Christ rise first, what happens to those who are not dead in Christ? Jay - Fayetteville, AR (20:47)Do you know anything about the Recovery Bible by Living Stream Ministry? Mary - Omaha, NE (23:29)

Emily Dickinson and Charles Darwin both saw nature as alive with mystery – and treated wonder as a way of knowing. Literary scholar and science historian Renee Bergland, author of "Natural Magic," is our guide to the forgotten kinship between the reclusive poet and the celebrated naturalist. Dickinson and Darwin never met, but they had at least one close friend in common. Both were both fascinated by fossils. Both wandered the woods and swamps near their homes, studying insects and documenting rare plants. They shared a vision of the interconnectedness of all life. We know that Dickinson, with her background in botany, geology, astronomy and chemistry, was enthralled by Darwin's evolutionary theory. And it certainly seems possible that Darwin, with his degree in theology and his lifelong love of poetry and literature, might have admired the American poet whose close observations and delicate perceptions echoed his own. Bergland's dual biography, just out in paper, is vivid, sparkling intellectual history – a window onto a time when scientific thinking still embraced emotion and wonder as modes of perception. Could the belief in “natural magic” that infused Dickinson's and Darwin's ideas restore our own faith in a universe alive with meaning? Our conversation about the poet who studied natural history and the naturalist who loved poetry suggests a way forward – by reclaiming their shared ecological wonder. — Now out in paperback: "Natural Magic: Emily Dickinson, Charles Darwin, and the Dawn of Modern Science" Previous books from Renee Bergland: "Maria Mitchell and the Sexing of Science: An Astronomer Among the American Romantics" and "The National Uncanny: Indian Ghosts and American Subjects"  —0:00 — Meeting Renee Bergland9:00 — What Is Natural Magic?20:00 — Beauty, Truth, and Evolution34:00 — Hope and the Garden of Change Wonder Cabinet is hosted by Anne Strainchamps and Steve Paulson.
