Watch the two-minute video embedded here which just begins to give examples of additional layers of information that control how our genes are used.

We expect this scientific tool will become a major asset in the creationist's arsenal. Metagenomics is "the study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental samples" also known as environmental genomics, ecogenomics, and community genomics. See also RSR's 2017 metagenomics prediction. * UPDATE: Illustration of Epigenetics: Bob Enyart shared on air with Stephen Meyers and separately, with Paul Nelson, a way of illustrating one category of epigenetic information, namely, the information inherent in all the molecular machines embedded in the cell membrane. "Imagine that Manhattan Island represents a cell, and that the main public library on 42nd Stree represents the DNA in the nucleus, and that the entire city is just completing the process of reproducing itself. There are now two cities, and two libraries filled with DNA, but also, the process of mitosis has duplicated the bridges and tunnels which connected the city to the rest of the world. Such membrane structures inherently comprise great quantities of information, which in our analogy is one category, among many, of epigenetic, non-DNA, information." We probably shouldn't describe epigenetic information as non-nuclear, or extra-nuclear, because there is probably plenty of epigenetic information with a cell's nucleus. "Non-DNA biological information", may be the best term, except that psychological (i.e., soulical) information likely transcends the biological information, and probably fills an essential role in animal instinct. * LOOK WHAT THE LORD HATH WROUGHT! Post-show update.

Imagine someone tells you about the most amazing short story you will ever read, and then hands you a normal-looking sheet of paper with print on only one side, normal except that the text is in the Courier non-proportional font. The story about a school play performed on a riverboat immediately grabs your attention. It opens, "Madam, I'm Adam." As you continue reading down the page, you're fascinated. But you've come to the last word on the last line and realize the story is nowhere near its end. Your friend sees your puzzled look and says, "Keep reading." You turn the page over, but the other side is blank. "There's nothing else to read." He says, "Just continue reading. But backwards. You know, not left to right, but right to left." You look at him like he's crazy, and then you look again, at the last six words. They form the headline of an article reviewing the play that was about the first week of Adam and Eve wearing fig leaves: PUPILS BRAG ON 'SEVEN EVES' TUB. Hmm. Weird headline. Rather condensed, but you get the point. Then you look at the letters in reverse order and realize that by reading backwards, the story continues, reporting a second review headline. This review focuses on the layers of meaning revealed through the plot of the play. As you continue reading backwards from right to left you work your way back up, line by line, to the first line at the top of the page. Then you look up for help because the story is not done but your friend just looks back at you, as though you should be able to figure out how to read the rest of the story. You look again at the very first word, and then the first word of the second line, and suddenly you realize that the first letter of each of the first five lines spell out the word, "sword." And as you pick out the first letter in order as you scan down the lines of the page, you begin reading not left to right, nor right to left, but downward, top to bottom, down the first column of letters. And the story continues. And when you get to the bottom of the page, then you read down the second column, formed by the second letter of each line, and so on, top to bottom, top to bottom. Then for the second time, you've come to the bottom right corner of the page, and again, though the story is almost at its climax, it's still not finished. But you've run out of letters. Except that now, you're convinced of the supreme brilliance of the author, and so without hesitating you reverse course, and start reading upward, bottom to top, bottom to top, up the last column, then the penultimate column, and so on, until you finish the story which ends in all its glory in the top left corner of the page at the first letter of the first word of the first line. And this multidirectional story gives us a glimpse of how we are formed, fearfully and wonderfully made in secret in our mother's womb, beginning at that moment of conception, even before the first day passes, when our substance (DNA) has yet to knit together our body, which itself is made in God's image. * RSR Word Game $500 Prize Offer: A palindrome of course reads the same backward as forward as with, "Madam, I'm Adam". Only two words in our "headline" (in our Multidirectional Story just above) form a palindrome but all six words together taken backward read: BUT "SEVEN EVES" NO GARB SLIP UP." That works, but hopefully better is possible. You can win $500 (to date RSR separately has awarded $2,000 in prize money) by helping us improve the above RSR Multidirectional Story. Just submit a better phrase that reads differently forward and backward. You'll win the money if your submission: - fits into any proposed literary account (doesn't have to be the above Adam & Eve story) - works in both its forward and backward readings as consecutive phrases within the story - and gets selected and replaces the phrase used in the above Multidirectional Story paragraph.   Today’s Resource: Get the greatest cell biology video ever made! Getting this on DVD: - helps you to share it with others - helps keep Real Science Radio on the air, and - gets you Dr. Don Johnson's book as a bonus! Information is encoded in every cell in our DNA and in all living things. Learn how the common world view of life's origin, chemical evolution, conflicts with our knowledge of Information Science.

The debate among academic scholars and scientists continues today over the issue of creation versus evolution. How can we respond thoughtfully to this controversy in our culture? What’s the biblical basis for refuting Darwin’s contemporary theory? In this interview from August 2013, Dr. R.C. Sproul speaks with the author of Darwin’s Doubt, Dr. Stephen Meyer.

The debate among academic scholars and scientists continues today over the issue of creation versus evolution. How can we respond thoughtfully to this controversy in our culture? What’s the biblical basis for refuting Darwin’s contemporary theory? In this interview from August 2013, Dr. R.C. Sproul speaks with the author of Darwin’s Doubt, Dr. Stephen Meyer.

Guest: Dr. Steven Meyer, Discovery institute, Author - Darwin had doubts, and openly acknowledged important weaknesses in his theory of evolution, but his 'disciples' don't and won't acknowledge them. Today's public defenders of a Darwin-only science curriculum do not want any scientific doubts about Darwinian evolution given to students. How does Intelligent Design solve science mysteries which Darwin's theory couldn't?

Dr. Stephen Meyer | Director | Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture

Join Devin and Melissa Pellew as we discuss issues related to Christian Apologetics, theology and biblical worldview issues. This week, we will be discussing the new book, Debating Darwin's Doubt: A Scientific Controversy That Can No Longer Be Denied, edited by David Klinghoffer. The book includes ten chapters written by Dr. Steven Meyer and contributions from biologists Richard Sternberg, Douglas Axe, and Ann Gauger; philosopher of biology Paul Nelson; mathematicians William Dembski and David Berlinski; and Center for Science and Culture research coordinator, Casey Luskin. During the first hour, we'll be joined by attorney Casey Luskin of The Discovery Institute in Seattle. In his role at Discovery Institute, as Research Coordinator for the Center for Science and Culture, Casey assists and defends scientists, educators, and students who seek to freely study, research, and teach about the scientific debate over Darwinian evolution and intelligent design. Casey will discuss the information he researched and shared in the book. During the second hour, we'll be joined by Dr. Steven Meyer. Stephen C. Meyer received his Ph.D. in the philosophy of science from the University of Cambridge. A former geophysicist and college professor, he now directs Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture in Seattle. In addition to his book, Darwin's Doubt and his work on Debating Darwin's Doubt, that we will be discussing, he has also authored Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design. Dr. Meyer's bio includes many published editorials in national newspapers and appearances on national television and radio programs as well as many other popular scientific documentaries. Join us for this informative discussion with some of the leading Intelligent Design proponents of our day.

With the release of the epic film 'Noah' starring Russell Crowe, Justin is joined by three different perspectives on the Biblical story of the flood. Tim Chaffey of Answers In Genesis holds a Young Earth view and is involved in their Ark Encounter project. Hugh Ross of Reasons To Believe holds an Old Earth perspective and is the author of 'Navigating Genesis'. Irving Finkel of the British Museum is the author of 'The Ark before Noah' and believes the Genesis account borrows from other ancient flood stories. Book for Unbelievable?

Does the rock and fossil record point to Noah's flood or evolution?

Stephen C Meyer is the world's leading Intelligent Design proponent. His new book Darwin's Doubt claims that the Cambrian fossil record, which saw an "explosion" of new life forms in a short space of time, is evidence for ID. Evolutionary biologist Charles Marshall of the University of California, Berkeley has written a critical review of the book. He debates Meyer on whether Darwinian evolution can explain the diversity of life in the Cambrian rocks.
