”It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.“         Charles Darwin

On Creation Moments, we often challenge evolution with examples that show that the creation is carefully and lovingly designed by the Creator. Many of these evidences leave evolutionists silent and unable to respond. But one evidence for design is so powerful, it almost seems unfair for creationists to mention it. Yet they do, as in one release from scientists at the Institute for Creation Research.While the brain weighs only three pounds, it can do the work of 1,000 supercomputers. It doesn't need to be connected to a power source and it doesn't overheat because it is able to make its own electricity and it operates on only microvolts of power. If your brain's 10 trillion cells were placed end to end, they would stretch for over 100,000 miles. Your brain has the capacity to store every word of every book on a bookshelf 500 miles long.In order for the human brain to have evolved from a simpler brain in the time that evolutionists claim it has, the brain would have had to evolve millions of new cells every year for millions of years. A.R. Wallace, co-discoverer with Charles Darwin of natural selection, once noted that there is a huge gulf between the human brain and that of the ape. Darwin recognized what Wallace's argument did to their theory and responded, "I hope you have not murdered completely your own and my child."God has given you a brain that has wonderful abilities. Don't waste one of the greatest material gifts the Creator has given you.Psalm 40:5"Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works which You have done; and Your thoughts which are toward us cannot be recounted to You in order; if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered."Prayer: Forgive me Father, for underestimating the great gift which You have given me—my brain. Grant me Your Holy Spirit so that I may begin and continue all learning and wisdom in You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.REF.: DeYoung, Don, and Richard Bliss. Thinking about the brain. ICR Impact.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  15 years ago, I remember being excited to find Ian Fleming's explanation of how to write a thriller. I saved the text of that article from the Internet directly into Evernote. As I look back, I think that is probably my favourite piece of text that I've saved in my notes over the years. This morning I did a little experiment. I asked Gemini what Ian Fleming‘s advice is for writing a thriller. Within seconds, Gemini gave me not only the original text but also a summary and bullet points of the main points.  Does this mean that many of the things we have traditionally saved in our digital notes today are no longer needed? I'm not so sure. It's this and many similar uses of our digital note-taking applications that may no longer be necessary And that nicely brings me on to this week's topic, and that means it's time for me to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Ricardo. Ricardo asks, Could you discuss more about note-taking in your podcast, as I have difficulties regarding how to collect and store what's important? Hi Ricardo. Thank you for your question.  When digital note-taking apps began appearing on our mobile phones around 2009, they were a revelation.  Prior to this innovation, we carried around notebooks and collected our thoughts, meeting notes and plans in them.  Yet, given our human frailties, most of these notebooks were lost, and even if they were not, it was difficult to find the right notebook with the right notes.  Some people were good at storing these. Many journalists and scientists were excellent at keeping these records organised. As were many artists.  And we are very lucky that they did because many years later, those notebooks are still available to us. You can see Charles Darwin's and Isaac Newton's notebooks today. Many of which are kept at the Athenaeum Club in London, and others are in museums around the world.  It was important in the days before the Internet to keep these notebooks safe. They contained original thoughts, scientific processes and information that, as in Charles Darwin's and Isaac Newton's case, would later form part of a massive scientific breakthrough.  Darwin's journey on HMS Beagle was a defining moment in scientific history. It provided the raw data and observations that would eventually lead to his theory of evolution by natural selection.  That was published some twenty years after his journey in his book On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection.  During Darwin's five-year journey around the world, he filled 15 field notebooks with observations and sketches—these were roughly the same size as the iconic Field Notes pocket notebooks you can buy today.  Additionally, he kept several Geological Specimen Notebooks. These were slightly larger than his field notes notebooks. He used these primarily to catalogue the fossils and rocks he collected Darwin also kept a large journal during his travels, which he used to record data and incidents.  These were all original thoughts and observations.  Today, all that information is freely available on the internet and, of course, in books.  What's more, with AI tools such as Gemini and ChatGPT, finding this information today is easy. I, like many people today, rarely use internet searches for information. I simply ask Gemini.  This means there's no point in saving this information in my digital notes. All my searches are saved within the Gemini app, as they are in ChatGPT and Claude.  But your original thoughts, ideas and project notes are unique. It's these you want to keep in your digital notes.  Much like Charles Darwin and Isaac Newton wrote down their thoughts and observations, your thoughts, observations and ideas should be collected and stored.  When Darwin travelled on the Beagle, he was 22 years old. When he published The Origin of Species, he was 45.  And perhaps, like Darwin, not all your ideas today will have an immediate practical purpose. But if you don't keep them, they never will. This is why it's important to keep them where you can find them later.  And that's where our digital tools today are so much better than the paper notebooks we kept. We can find anything, any time, from any digital device we have on hand.  I remember reading Leonardo Da Vinci's biography, and he often travelled to other parts of Italy. If he needed to reference a note he had made—and he made copious notes—and he did not have the right notebook with him on his travels, it would have taken him days to retrieve the information.  We don't have that problem today.  So, when it comes to collecting, be ruthless in what you keep.  I have a notebook in my notes app called “Suppliers”. This is where I store the names of the companies I regularly buy things from.  For example, I get my clothing from several preferred retailers. I buy my woollen jumpers (sweaters) from Cordings of Piccadilly. In the note I have for Cordings, are my sizes and the website address.  This makes it easy for me to find what I am looking for and order. I use Apple's Password app to store my login details, so once I have found what I want, I can order it very quickly.  Amazon makes this even easier with a “Buy It Again” section, so if I am running low on Yorkshire Tea, I go to Amazon, click Buy It Again, and within a few seconds, I see Yorkshire Tea and can order straight away.  Ten years ago, I kept all that information in my notes. Today, I don't bother as it's faster to go directly to Amazon.  Another use I have for my digital notes is to keep all my client meeting notes. Each week, I will have around fifteen to twenty calls with clients, and I keep notes for each call as I write feedback, which I send to the client after the call.  These are unique notes, and each one will be different, so using the Darwin/Newton principle—keeping thoughts, ideas and observations in your notes—they will be kept in my notes in a notebook called “clients”. What's great about this is I have over eight years' worth of client notes in Evernote, which feed ideas for future content as they're directly relatable to real experiences and difficulties.  Another useful note to have in your notes is something called an “Anchor Note”. This is a note where you keep critical information you may need at any particular time.  For example, I keep all the subscriber links to my various websites there, which can be quickly copied and pasted whenever needed.  I also have the Korean Immigration office website there, since it's not easy to find, and I only need it every 3 or 4 years.  Depending on how security-conscious you are, you can also keep your Social Security and driving license numbers there, too.  How you organise your notes depends on you and how your brain works. However, the more complex your organisational system, the slower you will be at finding what you need.  Now this is where computers come into their own. Whether you use Apple, Google or Microsoft, all these companies have built incredible search functionality into the core of their systems.  This means as long as you give your note a title that means something to you, you will be able to find it in five or ten years' time.  I remember once my wife asked me for a password to a Korean website I had not used in ten years or more. I couldn't remember it, and I didn't have the password stored in my old password manager, 1Password.  As a long shot, I typed the name of the website into Evernote—the note-taking app I've been using for almost fifteen years—and within a second, the website with my login details was on my screen.  If I'd tried to find that information by going through my notebooks and tags, I would never have found it. I let Evernote handle the hard work, and it did so superbly.  However, that said, there is something about having some basic structure to your notes. I use a structure I call GAPRA. GAPRA stands for Goals, Areas of Focus, Projects, Resources and Archive. It's loosely based on Tiago Forte's PARA method.  I find having separate places for my goals, areas of focus and projects makes it easier for me to navigate things when I am creating a note.  My goals section is for tracking data. For instance, if I were losing weight, I would record my weight each week there.  My areas of focus notebook is where I keep my definitions of my areas and what they mean to me, and it gives me a single place to review these every six months.  My project notebook is where I keep all my notes for my current projects.  The biggest notebook I have, though, is my resources notebook. This is a catch-all for everything else. My supplier's notebook is there, as is information about different cities I travel to or may travel to in the future. As I look at that notebook now, Paris is the note that has the most information. (Although Osaka in Japan is getting close to it)  I also have places to visit in Korea that I keep for when my mother visits—which she does every year—so I can build a different itinerary for her each year.  The archive is for old notes. I'm not by nature a hoarder, but I do find it reassuring that anything I have created is still there and still searchable.  And that's it, Ricardo.  You don't need to keep anything that is findable on the internet or in AI; that's duplication. But what I would highly recommend you keep are your original ideas, thoughts, and meeting notes (even if they are being summarised by AI. How AI interprets what's been said is not always what was meant)  And if, like me, you prefer to take handwritten notes, you can scan them into your digital notes app so you have a quick reference even if you don't have your paper notebook with you.  I hope that helps, and thank you for your question, Ricardo. And thank you to you, too, for listening.  It just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very productive week.   

Why did Isaac Newton read books on chiromancy, the occult science of hand reading that revealed the secrets of the soul? Why did Charles Darwin claim that the hand gave humans dominion over all other species? Why did psychoanalyst Charlotte Wolff climb into the primate cages of the London Zoo, taking hundreds of delicate palm prints? Why did Francis Galton, the father of fingerprinting, take palm prints too? And why did world-leading geneticists study the geometry of palm lines in their search for the secrets of chromosomal syndromes? Decoding the Hand: A History of Science, Medicine, and Magic (University of Chicago, 2025) is an astounding history of magic, medicine, and science, of an enduring search for how our bodily surfaces might reveal an inner self—a soul, a character, an identity. From sixteenth-century occult physicians influenced by the Kabbalah to twentieth-century geneticists, and from criminologists to eugenicists, award-winning historian Dr. Alison Bashford takes us on a remarkable journey into the strange world of hand readers, revealing how signs on the hand—its shape, lines, marks, and patterns—have been elaborately decoded over the centuries. Sometimes learned, sometimes outrageously deceptive, sometimes earnest, and, more often than we ever expected, medically and scientifically trained, these palm readers of the past prove to be essential links in the human quest to peer into bodies, souls, minds, and selves. Not only for fortune-telling palmists were the future and the past, health, and character laid bare in the hand, but for other experts in bodies and minds as well: anatomists, psychiatrists, embryologists, primatologists, evolutionary biologists, geneticists, and more. Drawing telling parallels between the divination promised by palmistry and the appeal to self-knowledge offered by modern genetic testing, Decoding the Hand also makes clear that palm-reading is far from a relic or simple charlatanism. Dr. Bashford's sagacious history of human hands touching and connecting opens wide the essential human pursuit of what lies within and beyond. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

What if the real story isn't science versus faith—but how faith helped give rise to modern science? That question sits at the heart of this episode of Thinking Things Through. Rather than rehearsing familiar culture-war arguments, we invite you to rethink the relationship between science and Christianity from a historical, philosophical, and deeply human perspective. Ron makes the provocative claim that modern experimental science did not arise despite Christianity, but within a culture shaped by it. For most of human history, people from every culture on every continent observed nature, but they did not conduct experiments to test their explanations. What changed around 500 years ago was the belief that the universe is not only orderly, but intelligible—and that humans are permitted, even encouraged, to understand how it works. The European Christians began to believe that God wanted the faithful to understand the universe to alleviate suffering. This led to modern medicine and pharmacology. Science refines and deepens theology. Charles Darwin was an example of how rigorous science and deep faith can coexist. Ron's own faith is stronger because of science.If you're shaped by scientific thinking but curious about Christianity—or if you're a believer trying to make sense of faith in a scientific age—this conversation is for you. Let's think it through.

Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species opened the modern era of evolutionary thinking. The very name of his book suggests that as we look back in time, we should see fewer kinds of animals. Darwin led many people to think that there should be a greater variety of plants and animals today than in the distant past. And, those plants and animals should be more sophisticated today.But the fossil record tells just the opposite story. The most ancient rocks with identifiable fossils of multicelled creatures in them contain every major family alive today. These creatures just appear fully formed all at once. And both evolutionists and creationists admit that not all the creatures that existed in the day when these fossils were formed have been preserved in the fossil record.When you think of some of the pictures of strange creatures from the early days of earth history, it seems obvious that, contrary to Darwin's theory, there was a much greater variety of creatures alive in the past than exists today. And generally, they were bigger and stronger than creatures are today. Ferns grew over 100 feet high, and dragonflies had wingspans of six feet. There are fewer kinds of creatures today, and what we have are often smaller and weaker than what we find in the fossil record.These facts don't present a picture of evolutionary development and improvement at all. It is a picture of a perfect creation corrupted by sin and running down. This is the same flow of history revealed in Scripture. But thankfully, Scripture shows us how in Christ Jesus there is escape from all the effects of sin!Genesis 1:31"Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day."Prayer: Dear Father; the entire creation groans under the consequences of man's sin. Give me a clearer understanding of the fact that the gospel of forgiveness is a needed message for us in the everyday world, and help me to communicate that to others. In Jesus' Name.

CrowdScience listener Limbikani in Zambia is always being told he has his Dad's laugh, so he set us the challenge of trying to find out whether a laugh can be passed down in our genes or if it's something we learn from our environment. Presenter Caroline Steel steps into the world of one of the world's greatest laughter experts, Professor Sophie Scott, neuroscientist at University College London. In her office stuffed with memorabilia of a life filled with fun, they discuss how the shape of our bodies could play a role in how we laugh. Also joining the fun is Dr Gil Greengross, evolutionary psychologist at Aberystwyth University in Wales, UK. Gil tells us how Charles Darwin was the first person to question how laughter evolved. Caroline also speaks to Dr Nancy Segal, Professor of Developmental Psychology and Director of the Twin Studies Center at California State University, Fullerton. Nancy is an expert in studies that demonstrate the role of nature vs nurture in how who we are and how we behave. She tells the story of the ‘Giggle Twins', who were separated at birth but found they laughed identically when they met three decades later. So does that mean that we really do inherit our laughs from our parents?

Evolution says that life began with the simplest forms. It took over a billion years just to evolve algae and another billion years for living things to have more than one cell. It took half a billion years of slow development to generate today's creatures. And evolution says that this story comes from the fossil record.What most people do not know is that there is no such story in the fossil record. And when not writing textbooks or appearing on television, evolutionary scientists will admit that their story of life cannot be found in the fossil record. According to the fossil record, every major family alive today appears suddenly and fully formed in the Cambrian rocks, which contain the first clear evidences of developed life.Charles Darwin was aware of this. Believing his own theory to be true, he called this problem a real mystery and wrote that it is probably a valid argument against evolution. Darwin wrote that he expected the problem to be solved as more fossils were discovered. But today, well over a century later, the problem remains and was written about in recent history in the Scientific American.So, Christians should not feel intimidated by the claims of scientists. We Christians have our faith by which we interpret what we see in the world. But the evolutionary story of life and the fossils is nothing more than the interpretation of the world according to evolutionary faith. We agree that far greater faith is required to believe in the revelation of Charles Darwin than to believe the revelation of God.Luke 19:40"But he answered and said to them, "I tell you that if these should keep silent, the stones would immediately cry out."Prayer: Dear Lord; Men mock what You have revealed in Your Word and try to intimidate Your people by telling us how ignorant our beliefs are. Give Your people, beginning with me, a strong and bold faith in Your revealed Word. In Jesus' Name. AmenREF.: Marland & Rudwick. The great Intra-Cambrian ice age. Scientific American.

In this short series, Pastor/Dr. David Murphy shows us that Christianity dominated the Western world for hundreds of years, but now the world is changing. We'll look at the ideas of three individuals who have changed the world's mindset away from God:1-Carl Marx, attacking God as ruler2-Charles Darwin, attacking God as creator3-Sigmund Freud, attacking God as the moral judge

Hoy vamos a desmontar de una vez esa frase tan repetida de “la ciencia dice que el hombre viene del mono”, repasando la historia real de Charles Darwin: un joven que pasó por medicina, derecho y teología antes de embarcarse en el Beagle durante cinco años, acumular observaciones sin tener aún una teoría, y volver a Inglaterra a rumiar durante décadas una idea que iba a sacudirlo todo: la selección natural (variación, herencia y muchísimo tiempo), una explicación sin plan ni intención, donde no gana el más fuerte sino el que encaja mejor en su entorno; veremos por qué tardó tanto en publicarla, cómo le presionó la carta de Wallace, qué críticas eran legítimas en su época y cómo la genética de Mendel terminó cerrando el círculo; pero sobre todo cerraremos el debate: los humanos no venimos de los monos actuales, sino que humanos y otros primates compartimos un antepasado común, ramas distintas del mismo árbol evolutivo. #ciencia #curiosidades #divulgacion

Warum sind die Organismen so unterschiedlich? Charles Darwin konnte nicht alles beantworten. Doch dank biologischer Grundlagenforschung und den Möglichkeiten, komplette Genome zu sequenzieren kommen inzwischen immer neue Erkenntnisse ans Licht.

Week 38 of Ted Gioia's Immersive Humanities Course pairs two seemingly unrelated works: Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species (chapters 1–4) and John Stuart Mill's On Liberty. What initially felt random turned out to be an enlightening combination! Darwin's early chapters focus not on sweeping conclusions but on careful observation—natural selection as a real, ongoing process, and the frustratingly blurry boundary between “species” and “variety.” His meticulous attention to detail is both humbling and persuasive, even if the book's once-shocking claims now feel familiar. Mill's On Liberty complements Darwin perfectly by arguing that truth itself depends on open discussion. A society, Mill insists, produces great individuals only when it protects freedom of thought and speech and resists dogma. Read together, these works reveal how revolutionary ideas require not just insight, but a culture willing to debate, question, and change.

How have industry and technology shaped our understanding of ourselves and of our understanding and relationship with God? How have such intellectual and societal trends contributed to the rise of atheism and unbelief? We continue our conversation this week with author and teaching fellow of the Davenant Institute in Landrum, South Carolina, Dr. Joseph Minich. We discuss some of his 2023 book Bulwarks of Unbelief - Atheism and Divine Absence in a Secular Age. From the Davenant Institute Dr. Joseph Minich Dr. (PhD, The University of Texas at Dallas) is Faculty Chair and Professor of Philosophy at Davenant Hall. As part of his work, he also co-hosts the Pilgrim Faith podcast. The founding editor of Ad Fontes and former Editor-in-Chief of the Davenant Press, he is the author of Enduring Divine Absence (Davenant Press, 2018) and Bulwarks of Unbelief: Atheism and Divine Absence in a Secular Age (Lexham Press, 2023).

3/8. Darwin's Finches: The Evolution Myth and the Speed of Adaptation — Steven Moss — Moss corrects widespread misconceptions regarding Darwin's Finches, noting that Charles Darwin collected the specimens but failed to properly label their specific island origins, and subsequently employed pigeons rather than finches to explain evolutionary mechanisms. Moss discusses researchers Peter and Rosemary Grant, who demonstrated that evolutionary adaptation can occur with extraordinary rapidity, occurring within single El Niño weather events. Moss explores Australian birds, including the Magpie, as examples of misnamed convergent evolution. Moss emphasizes that all bird species, including the frequently underestimated pigeon, possess sophisticated cognitive and intelligence capabilities. 1862

Welcome to Part Two of the William Buckland saga, featuring Laurel Rockall of the High Tales of History podcast.If you thought licking cathedral floors and revolutionizing palaeontology through fossilized poop was weird, wait until you hear about his lifelong mission to eat every animal on Earth. In this episode of History's Greatest Idiots, we dive deep into Buckland's practice of "zoophagy," his house that was basically a Victorian zoo gone wrong, and the most infamous dinner party in history where he ate the mummified heart of King Louis XIV of France.This is the story of how brilliance and complete insanity can coexist in one man who served his guests mice on toast while a hyena in academic robes wandered through the living room.The Zoophagist's Manifesto:William Buckland's lifelong goal: eat his way through the entire animal kingdomHis philosophy: "The stomach rules the world! The great ones eat the less, and the less the lesser still!"The actual, documented menu from the Buckland household (these aren't rumours, these are from his children's memoirs)Regular dinner items: mice on toast, hedgehogs, crocodile steaks, panther chops, rhinoceros pie, roast ostrich, elephant trunk, porpoise head, horse's tongue, kangaroo ham, puppies, slugs, earwigs, and bluebottle fliesThe only two things Buckland declared disgusting: mole and bluebottle flyThe House of Chaos:Why the Buckland home was less "Victorian residence" and more "natural history museum gone catastrophically wrong"The indoor menagerie: guinea pigs, snakes, frogs, ferrets, hawks, owls, cats, dogs, a pony (INSIDE THE HOUSE), eagles, and monkeysBilly the Hyena: the real, living hyena who roamed the house in academic robesTiglath Pileser the Bear: the black bear treated as an honorary Christ Church College member who attended wine parties, enjoyed horseback riding, and once raided a sweet shopThe outdoor chaos: a giant tortoise William let people ride, plus foxes, chickens, and various creatures for "observation"Growing up Buckland: nine children raised in a house with a hyena, a bear, and a poop tableThe Heart of a King:The 1848 dinner party at Nuneham House (residence of the Archbishop of York)The silver casket containing the mummified heart of King Louis XIV of FranceHow a French king's heart ended up in England (spoiler: French Revolution and "Mummy Brown" pigment)Buckland's infamous declaration: "I have eaten many strange things, but have never eaten the heart of a king before"The moment he popped a 140-year-old royal organ into his mouth and swallowed itThe horrified reactions from distinguished guests watching a priceless historical artifact get eatenThe Serious Scientist (Because He Actually Was One):First scientific description of a dinosaur: Megalosaurus (1824)Pioneering coprolites (fossilized faeces) in palaeontology and coining the termRevolutionary work on Kirkdale Cave winning him the Royal Society's Copley MedalDiscovery of the Red Lady of Paviland (one of Britain's oldest known human remains)Contributing to modern geology by embracing glaciation theory over biblical flood narrativesTraining future scientific leaders including Charles Darwin's mentorMultiple species named after him: Megalosaurus Bucklandii, Goniopholis Bucklandi, and moreHis social conscience as Dean of Westminster, repairing the Abbey and defending mistreated tenantsThe Decline and Perfect Ending:Moving to Westminster Deanery in 1845 (with 16 staircases for maximum chaos)Signs of dementia in the late 1840s and deteriorating mental healthDeath on August 14, 1856, at age 72 from vertebrae decayThe perfect burial: discovering solid Jurassic limestone in his grave plot and needing explosives to excavate itHis friend's prophetic elegy about the geologist who couldn't escape geology even in deathHis legacy today: lunar ridges, islands, and that coprolite table still on display at Lyme Regis Museum

® “L'origine delle specie” ha rivoluzionato il mondo della biologia, e il modo di studiare e di avvicinarsi alla scienza. Ma il saggio, pubblicato nel 1859, ha conosciuto una gestazione lunghissima, a causa della riluttanza dell'autore nel mettere le sue ricerche nero su bianco. E quando lo ha fatto, il suo lavoro è inizialmente passato inosservato. Il divulgatore scientifico David Quammen ripropone il suo fortunato “L'evoluzionista riluttante”, ritratto privato di Charles Darwin e la nascita della teoria dell'evoluzione, a vent'anni dalla prima pubblicazione (Raffaello Cortina editore). Una nuova traduzione e la prefazione del Prof. Telmo Pievani, per comprendere come quella figura, che ha riscritto la storia del mondo naturale che ci circonda, sia ancora oggi largamente incompresa. Non si può collocare Darwin al di fuori del suo tempo e della realtà vicino a lui. E' necessario comprendere dubbi, incertezze, ritrosie del naturalista ed esploratore britannico per posizionare davvero il suo pensiero nella giusta prospettiva.Prima emissione 13 giugno 2025

In this inspiring rerun episode of Straight Talk with Sally, Sally Sparks Cousins tackles one of the most common fears holding entrepreneurs back: "Am I too old to succeed?" After hearing countless people share their age on sales calls as if it were a limitation, Sally dives deep into the myths around age, success, and entrepreneurial timelines. She unpacks why society glorifies youthful "overnight successes," how comparison culture distorts our expectations, and why real, lasting success is far more common later in life. Sharing research, statistics, and relatable stories—including late bloomers like Vera Wang, Charles Darwin, and her own grandmother-in-law—Sally reveals how experience, emotional maturity, fluid intelligence, openness, and grit actually make older entrepreneurs more likely to thrive. You'll also take part in a powerful visual exercise that shows just how much life and impact you still have ahead of you. If you've ever questioned whether your time has passed, this grounded, energizing episode will remind you that your journey is far from over—and your biggest successes may only just be beginning.

How did a Victorian priest become the first person to scientifically describe a dinosaur, revolutionize paleontology through the study of fossilized poop, and terrify students by shoving hyena skulls in their faces while screaming about stomachs? In this episode of History's Greatest Idiots, featuring Laurel Rockall of the High Tales of History podcast, we explore the spectacular life of William Buckland, the eccentric geologist who dressed like a wizard, licked cathedral floors, and proved that brilliance and madness are often the same thing.This is the story of how to change scientific history while being absolutely insufferable at dinner parties.The Fossil-Hunting Childhood:How young William grew up in fossil-rich Devon with a father who took him rock hunting instead of, you know, normal parentingHis journey from Blundell's School to a scholarship at Oxford's Corpus Christi CollegeWhy he became obsessed with geology before it was even a proper subject (hipster geologist energy)The Most Terrifying Teacher in History:The infamous lecture technique of shoving hyena skulls in students' faces while screaming "THE STOMACH RULES THE WORLD!"How he'd get on all fours and prance around the lecture hall imitating dinosaur gaits (one colleague said it made him want to vomit)Why he dressed in full academic robes for fieldwork, looking like a wizard on a fossil huntThe students who attended his lectures: future Cardinal John Henry Newman, Samuel Wilberforce, and Charles Darwin's mentor Charles LyellThe Greatest Discovery (And It's Poop):The 1821 Kirkdale Cave discovery: workers using prehistoric bones to fill potholes in Yorkshire roadsHow Buckland proved the cave was a prehistoric hyena den by comparing ancient faeces to fresh hyena droppings (dedication!)The invention of "coprolites" (fossilized faeces) as a scientific field of studyHis infamous poop table: a dining table inlaid with fossilized faeces that he made guests eat on before revealing what it was made ofWinning the Royal Society's Copley Medal for his work on ancient hyena shitThe Dinosaur Whisperer:The 1818 discovery of mysterious bones near Stonesfield, OxfordshireConsulting with Georges Cuvier, the founding father of vertebrate palaeontologyFebruary 20, 1824: Buckland becomes the first person in history to scientifically describe a dinosaur (Megalosaurus)How he changed our understanding of prehistoric life foreverThe Tasting Geologist:Buckland's habit of identifying geological deposits by licking themHis honeymoon with wife Mary Morland: touring Europe's geological sites and tasting rocks togetherThe cathedral floor incident: licking "holy martyr blood" and declaring it bat urineHe Ate Everything:He set out on a mission to eat every living animal, which led to him creating recipes including: including mice on toast, panther chops, crocodile steaks, and...puppiesThe story gets even wilder in part two. William Buckland's lifelong mission to eat everything on Earth continues, including the mummified heart of King Louis XIV of France. Plus: his house that was basically a chaotic zoo, his pet hyena Billy who wore academic robes to wine parties, and how his scientific brilliance was matched only by his complete inability to behave like a normal human being.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Animation: Daniel Wilson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/wilson_the_wilson/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music: Andrew Wilson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/andrews_electric_sheep⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Apparently, the entire ecological collapse of the Galápagos Islands started because some pirates were hungry and forgot to pack food when travelling. Yes. That’s genuinely the inciting incident of this episode.Anyway—In this chaotic, mockumentary-style dive, we trace how a volcanic archipelago went from “accidental punishment island” to the stage where the goats begin their quiet, innocent march toward becoming a full-blown ecological menace.We meet pirates who never should’ve had livestock privileges, a bishop who did not mince words about how much he hated the place, Charles Darwin spiraling into an existential crisis because the birds were stressing him, and the blue-footed boobies who genuinely didn’t ask to be part of all this.This is where the saga begins, the origin story that sets up one of history’s most unnecessary wars. A war between man, nature, and goats who really should’ve just minded their business.Welcome to the beginning of the Great Galapagoat War.

In this episode of Strategic Minds, host Rich Horwath speaks with legendary strategist and bestselling author Geoffrey A. Moore, whose landmark books - Crossing the Chasm, Zone to Win, and Dealing with Darwin - have transformed how leaders approach innovation, disruption, and go-to-market strategy. Moore shares how storytelling, pattern recognition, and intellectual curiosity shaped his unique approach to strategic frameworks - tools that help executives make smarter decisions in high-risk, low-data environments. Together, they unpack how frameworks act as disruptive catalysts, enabling leaders to synthesize complexity, uncover trapped value, and allocate resources more strategically. Through examples from Salesforce, Microsoft, and Amazon, Moore explains the power of “zoning the enterprise” - aligning performance, productivity, incubation and transformation zones to optimize investment, leadership focus, and execution. His insights reveal why frameworks are not formulas but languages of strategic alignment, empowering leaders to think clearly and act decisively amid rapid business transformation.  

In the first episode of the Nature Insight's new season, Brit Garner and Rob Spaull set sail  - literally and figuratively - on a journey inspired by one of history's most influential naturalists. In ‘Darwin's Wake - New Horizons for Nature Science' they explore how today's scientists, conservationists and others are influenced by Charles Darwin's legacy and discover how biodiversity science has changed in the 21st century. In this episode Brit interviews Victor Rault, leader of a multi-year, round-the-world expedition retracing the route of Darwin's voyage on the HMS Beagle which  took place almost two hundred years ago. Rob speaks to Professor Alex Antonelli, the Executive Director of Science at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in the UK. It is home to the largest collection of living plants from around the world and Rob hears about its historical connections to Darwin and his legacy today.  To find out more about IPBES, go to www.ipbes.net or follow us on social media @IPBES

De hecho, Ecuador es el único país del mundo que lleva el nombre de una característica geográfica. El nombre oficial del país es «República del Ecuador». A las afueras de Quito hay un famoso monumento para marcar la línea ecuatorial. El monumento está a unos 240 metros del ecuador real. Las Islas Galápagos inspiraron la teoría de la evolución. Las Islas Galápagos son famosas gracias a Charles Darwin y su teoría de la evolución. La teoría se centra en los pinzones de las islas. Darwin examinó la forma en que la misma especie de ave había evolucionado de manera diferente en cada una de las 21 islas de Galápagos.Ecuador es el paraíso de un observador de aves. Esta es una de las mejores curiosidades de Ecuador para los amantes de la naturaleza. Ecuador tiene más aves por kilómetro cuadrado que cualquier otro lugar del mundo. Con 1.632 especies diferentes confirmadas y 48 otras especies hipotéticas. Ecuador tiene el punto más cercano al sol y la montaña más alta desde el centro de la Tierra.  El Everest es la montaña más alta del mundo. Sin embargo, el Chimborazo, con sus 6.268 metros, se considera el punto más cercano al Sol. La Virgen del Panecillo es la única virgen en el mundo con alas de ángel. Esta estatua de 41 metros de altura es uno de los iconos de Quito. Ecuador, Colombia y Venezuela fueron un mismo país. Cuando consiguió la Independencia de España en 1822, Ecuador se unió al proyecto de la Gran Colombia. Por aquel entonces era un enorme país que abarcaba los territorios de los actuales Ecuador, Colombia y Venezuela. Estaba liderada por Simón Bolívar y pretendía crear una nación muy fuerte para competir con las principales potencias europeas. Ecuador es tierra de volcanes. Hay 95 en su territorio (incluyendo los de las Islas Galápagos) y lo más asombroso (y un poco acojonante) es que 35 de ellos están activos o potencialmente activos. Uno de los datos más interesantes sobre la cultura ecuatoriana es que existen al menos 14 idiomas reconocidos que se hablan en el país. El español es el idioma oficial, mientras que también se reconocen 13 idiomas indígenas, incluidos el quichua y el shua.Los plátanos son un producto alimenticio importante en Ecuador. Los plátanos son un elemento indispensable de la dieta y la cocina ecuatoriana. En el país crecen alrededor de 300 tipos diferentes de plátanos para satisfacer la demanda interna, por lo que podemos decir que aquí realmente hay un plátano para cada día y ocasión. Durante los últimos 60 años, Ecuador ha sido uno de los mayores productores mundiales de esta fruta, produciendo el 25% de los plátanos del mundo. My new Youtube channel: Spanish with Dennishttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVuRUMQGwtzBIp1YAImQFQMy new Discord server and chat and you can already join and write to me there:https://discord.gg/HWGrnmTmyCMy new Telegram channel and you can already join and write to me or comment there:https://t.me/SpanishwithDennisJoin my Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/spanishwithdennisSupport me by joining my podcasts supporter club on Spreaker:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/slow-spanish-language--5613080/supportDonate with Boosty:https://boosty.to/spanishwithdennis/donateDonate with Donation Alerts:https://www.donationalerts.com/r/dennisespinosaDonate with Crypto currency:Bitcoin (BTC)1DioiGPAQ6yYbEgcxEFRxWm5hZJcfLG9V6USDT (ERC20)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855USDT (TRC20)TXoQwsaiTGBpWVkyeigApLT8xC82rQwRCNEthereum (ETH)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855If you have any other suggestions or recommendations on what other platform you can support me and my podcasts, please let me know.

Bien avant Charles Darwin et sa théorie de l'évolution par la sélection naturelle, un érudit du monde arabo-musulman avait déjà formulé une idée étonnamment proche. Au IXᵉ siècle, à Bassora, le savant Al-Jāḥiẓ écrivait dans son immense Livre des animaux (Kitāb al-Hayawān) que les êtres vivants sont engagés dans une lutte permanente pour survivre. Il observait que certaines espèces s'adaptent mieux que d'autres à leur environnement et que cette “lutte pour l'existence” façonne la nature elle-même.Al-Jāḥiẓ (776-868) n'était pas seulement un écrivain : il était aussi un observateur infatigable du monde naturel. Dans un style vivant et poétique, il décrivait les comportements des animaux, leurs interactions et les lois invisibles qui gouvernent leur survie. Il notait par exemple que certains poissons ne doivent leur existence qu'à leur capacité à se dissimuler, tandis que d'autres disparaissent faute de ressources suffisantes. Pour lui, chaque espèce dépend des autres, dans un équilibre fragile où la nourriture, la reproduction et l'environnement jouent des rôles décisifs.Ce qui frappe aujourd'hui, c'est la modernité de sa pensée. Près de mille ans avant Darwin, Al-Jāḥiẓ parlait déjà d'adaptation et de compétition entre les êtres vivants. Il évoquait même les effets de l'environnement sur la forme des animaux, anticipant ainsi les bases de la biologie évolutive. Ses écrits, empreints de curiosité et d'humour, témoignent d'une vision dynamique de la nature : un monde en perpétuelle transformation où chaque créature doit trouver sa place ou disparaître.Mais à la différence de Darwin, Al-Jāḥiẓ ne cherchait pas à construire une théorie scientifique au sens moderne du terme. Son approche restait ancrée dans la philosophie et la théologie de son époque : il voyait dans cette lutte pour la survie l'expression d'une sagesse divine. La nature, pensait-il, reflète la volonté d'un créateur qui a doté chaque être d'un rôle spécifique dans l'ordre du monde.Aujourd'hui, les historiens des sciences redécouvrent l'ampleur de son œuvre, longtemps méconnue en Occident. Le Livre des animaux n'est pas seulement un recueil d'observations : c'est une tentative magistrale de comprendre la vie dans toute sa complexité. En plaçant l'interaction, la survie et l'adaptation au cœur de la nature, Al-Jāḥiẓ a, bien avant son temps, pressenti une idée qui bouleverserait la science un millénaire plus tard : celle de l'évolution.

Hello Poison Friends! We are starting a series of sorts concerning the human experimentation that took place during WWII within the prison/concentrations camps of Nazi Germany and at Unit 731 in Japan. Before we jump into the details of these experiments, however, I think we need to go over the major philosophy that drove the atrocities of the Holocaust forward and allowed mankind to do such things to others. Eugenics is now defined as a pseudoscience, but it had a big following in the late 1800s and early-mid 1900s, even among prominent scientists and politicians. There were Eugenics societies, publications, education centers, and even events like "Better Baby Contests." The term was coined by Charles Darwin's cousin, Francis Galton, who took "survival of the fittest," and "natural selection" to an extreme Charles himself did not approve of (or at least he did not encourage it). In his view, different races fit on a sort of hierarchal pyramid with white men sitting up at the top. He and other eugenicists like him, beleived this idea that humans and people groups can be perfected through genetics and trait inheritance. You can see where this is going, I am sure. Eugenics developed from such thinking further into such ideas as "racial hygiene" and defending against "race deterioration."So, racism and the discrimination of those deemed unfit (physically or mentally disabled people, those with mental health disorders, those of a different race than caucasian, women labeled as promiscuous or hysterical or "feebleminded," etc.). Whole societies of racist white men were writing up propaganda against those they decided were "unfit." As a result, actual laws requiring the sterilization of those institutionalized were put into place, first in Indiana then another 29 states by the 1930s. This all sounds awful now, but it was becoming the popular opinion of the day, and not just in England and American. This ridiculous ideology spread from nation to nation. It was also prominent in Germany around the same time it was growing strong in America. When Hitler rose to power, he created various kinds of prison camps for those deemed "unfit" in his and his followers' view. Jewish peoples, blacks living in the area, Romani peoples, disabled people or those unable to work, and Germans who disagreed with their ways. He and his followers sought to exterminate all of those deemed unworthy or unfit in their eyes. Knowing this, we can see how they thought experimenting on these groups of people was fine. In their minds, these were not "fit human beings" and they were doomed to die anyway. Millions of people were tortured, starved, experimented on and killed as a result of this ideology, and it was more prevalent in other nations like American than most know.

Today I'm delighted to be joined by Sam co-founder of Wrigglebrew. Having witnessed first hand the devastating ecological impacts of excessive artificial fertiliser runoff on the aquatic environment, together with his business partner Gabe he started Wrigglebrew an ethical and fully independent regenerative agricultural company that has started a revolution capable of completely rewriting how large-scale agricultural fertilisers are produced and in so doing reversing many of the negative impacts that these inputs have on the wider environment. After years of careful experimentation inspired by the last works of Charles Darwin, they have harnessed the power of Earthworms to create a product that is not only organic and environmentally friendly but significantly is also cheaper than artificial fertilisers, offering struggling farmers an economic lifeline, where they don't have to choose between doing what's right for the future at the expense of their family. Whilst initially designed for large-scale application to be utilised for agriculture, you can of course also use it is your garden. Sam, Gabe and their team are incredible, they are passionate and dedicated to having a positive long lasting impact that will benefit all of us, they have started with creating a truly viable and organic alternative to industrial artificial fertilisers but that's just the beginning they also have developed an innovative solution to plastic pollution utilising earthworms. Whilst we certainly can't all be innovators we can be supporters and I would ask you to join me in supporting them, please help by sharing this episode with others to reach even more farmers and gardeners. They already have 1000s of acres being successfully farmed using their product but with your help we can get this amazing solution into the hands of even more people and help them have an even bigger impact. Learn more about SamSam Baker is the co-founder and CEO of WriggleBrew, a regenerative agriculture company turning earthworms and microbes into high-performance organic fertilizers. With a background in chemistry and economics and a passion for sustainability, Sam is pioneering new ways to transform waste—like plastics and food scraps—into living soil solutions. His work bridges science, entrepreneurship, and environmental stewardship, and recently earned national recognition through innovation awards and public-private partnerships.Website: https://www.wrigglebrew.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/PRAGWriggleBrew/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wrigglebrew/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sam-baker-702239155Support the showThank you for being part of this journey with me, please Subscribe so you don't miss our future episodes, leave a review & share with friends to help these messages ripple out across the world.

It might surprise you to learn that Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection did not triumph on purely scientific grounds. There are other reasons beyond empirical science that gave it broad acceptance and enduring popularity. On today's ID The Future, host Andrew McDiarmid unpacks those reasons as he begins a conversation with professor emeritus and author Neil Thomas about his new book False Messiah: Darwinism As the God That Failed. Over two episodes, Thomas discusses the conceptual flaws and historical roots of the theory, the responses of major early dissenters of the theory, and how modern science is undermining the Enlightenment worldview upon which Darwinism relies. This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Look for Part 2 in a separate episode. Source

Cartógrafo, major e explorador, Percy Fawcett percorreu alguns dos lugares mais inóspitos do planeta. Em sua juventude, no Sri Lanka, explorou baías remotas e identificou ruínas de antigos reinos budistas.Quando adulto, trabalhou como espião para a Grã-Bretanha, investigando o sultão do Marrocos em Fez.Mas foi na Amazônia tornou-se famoso: Fawcett liderou expedições pelo Acre e pela Bolívia, ajudando a definir as fronteiras entre os dois países.Suas jornadas tornaram-se célebres, com seu rosto impresso em capas de jornais e revistas por toda Europa. Um tabloide da época dizia:“Esse é o verdadeiro escoteiro: tomem-o como exemplo! "O prestígio foi tanto que Leonard Darwin, filho de Charles Darwin e presidente da Royal Geographical Society, o levou em turnê para palestrar pela Inglaterra.Com chapéu de feltro, caderno de anotações e um jeito independente de trabalhar, Fawcett acabou se tornando o molde do aventureiro que mais tarde inspiraria personagens como Indiana Jones.Mas...nem todos o viam como um herói. Muitos colegas o consideravam rígido, arrogante e charlatão, um homem obcecado por glória pessoal e convicções quase absolutas sobre o território que explorava.E, de fato, havia muitas coisas sobre a vida de Fawcett que não era divulgada pela mídia geral...

Charles Darwin wrote about much more than evolution. Among other things, after his 'round-the-world trip in the 1830s, he wrote a book about coral reefs—an attempt to explain the origins of different types of reefs. A century and a half after the book was published, people got the idea that Darwin described reefs as “oases in marine deserts.” He didn't—and they're not. A recent study showed that, while reefs are some of the most vibrant ecosystems on the planet, the waters around most of them are busy as well. Researchers studied satellite observations of reefs and their surrounding waters from around the world. They also studied direct measurements of many of those environments. They looked at two key markers. One was chlorophyll—a pigment that tiny organisms use to produce energy. It colors the water green, so green water means a lot of life. The other marker was a set of compounds that serve as nutrients.             They found that about 80 percent of all the reef systems were surrounded by plentiful conditions—waters that were teeming with both chlorophyll and nutrients. Currents, tides, and fish and other organisms carry those life-giving ingredients onto the reefs. That makes the reefs oases in a land of plenty. But the easy way that these materials infiltrate the reefs also means that reefs can be more easily influenced by pollution, global warming, and the results of other human activity—damaging these vibrant ecosystems. The post Marine Oases appeared first on Marine Science Institute. The University of Texas at Austin..

Ella al-Shamahi is one part Charles Darwin, one part Indiana Jones. She braves war zones and pirate-infested waters to collect fossils from prehistoric caves, fossils that help us understand the origin of our species. Her recent hit BBC / PBS series Human follows her around the globe trying to piece together the unlikely story of how early humans conquered the world.  But Ella's own origins as an evolutionary biologist are equally unlikely. She sits down with us and tells us a story she has rarely shared publicly, about how she came to believe in evolution, and how much that belief cost her. Special thanks to Misha Euceph and Hamza Syed.EPISODE CREDITS: Reported by - Latif NasserProduced by - Jessica Yung and Pat Walterswith help from - Sarah QariFact-checking by - Diane Kellyand Edited by  - Pat Walters EPISODE CITATIONS:Videos - “Human” (https://www.bbcearth.com/shows/human), Ella's show on the BBC and PBSSignup for our newsletter!!

Influenced by a long line of materialist thinkers, Charles Darwin proposed the mechanism of natural selection as a substitute for God. But how does his theory's explanatory power measure up to recent scientific discoveries? On this ID The Future selected out of the archive, physicist Brian Miller discusses the resurgence of natural theology in modern science with Pat Flynn, co-host of the Philosophy for the People podcast. Natural theology advances arguments for God based on reason and the discoveries of science. It's an ancient pursuit that fell out of favor in the 19th century as a materialist account of life's origins took center stage. But scientific findings of the last century point to mind, not a mindless process, as the likeliest explanation for a life-friendly universe. As a result, the pendulum is swinging back to teleology, ushering in a new heyday for natural theology. This is Part 1 of a 2-part discussion. Source
