Podcasts about Lyell

Emergency treatment may be necessary after a person's first seizure or at the onset of abnormal acute repetitive (cluster) seizures; it is required for status epilepticus. Treatment for these emergencies is dictated by myriad clinical factors and informed by published guidance as well as emerging research.   In this episode, Lyell K. Jones, MD, FAAN, speaks with David G. Vossler, MD, FAAN, FACNS, FAES, author of the article “First Seizures, Acute Repetitive Seizures, and Status Epilepticus,” in the Continuum® February 2025 Epilepsy issue. Dr. Jones is the editor-in-chief of Continuum: Lifelong Learning in Neurology® and is a professor of neurology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Dr. Vossler a clinical professor of neurology at the University of Washington School of Medicine in Seattle, Washington.

Dr Jones: This is Dr Lyell Jones, Editor-in-Chief of Continuum: Lifelong Learning in Neurology. Today, I'm interviewing Dr Dave Vossler, who has recently authored an article on emergent seizure management, taking care of patients with the first seizure, acute repetitive seizures, and status epilepticus, which is an article in our latest issue of Continuum covering all topics related to epilepsy. Dr Vossler is a neurologist at the University of Washington, where he's a clinical professor of neurology and has an active clinical and research practice in epileptology. Dr Vossler, welcome. Thank you for joining us today. Why don't you introduce yourself to our listeners? Dr Vossler: Thank you very much for the introduction, Lyell. It's a pleasure to speak with you on this podcast, and I hope to go over a lot of important new information in the management of seizure emergencies. As you said, I'm a clinical professor in neurology at University of Washington, been in medicine for many decades now and have published and done research in this area. So, I'm anxious to give you not only my academic experience, but also talk about my own management of patients with status epilepticus over the last four decades. Dr Jones: Yeah, that's fantastic. And I always appreciate hearing from experienced clinicians, and I think our readers and our listeners do appreciate that voice of clinical expertise. And I'll tell you this is a topic, you know, as a neurologist who doesn't see many patients with acute seizure emergencies in my own practice, I think this is a topic that gives many clinicians, including neurologists, some anxiety. Your article, Dr Vossler, is really chock-full of helpful and clinically relevant considerations in the acute management of seizures. So, you now have the full attention of a huge audience of mostly neurologists. What's the one most important practice change that you would like to see in the care of patients with either first or acute prolonged seizures? Dr Vossler: Without a doubt, the most important clinical takeaway with regard to the status epilepticus---and for status epilepticus, many, many clinical trials, research trials have been done over the last couple decades and they all consistently show the same thing, that by and large most patients who have status epilepticus are underdosed and undertreated and treated too slowly in the initial stages of the status epilepticus. And it's important to use full bolus dosages of benzodiazepines to prevent mortality, morbidity, and later disability of these patients. To prevent the respiratory depression, many physicians are afraid to use higher doses of benzodiazepines, even guideline-recommended doses of benzodiazepines for fear of respiratory depression. But it's actually counterintuitive. It turns out that most cases of respiratory depression are due to inadequate doses and due to the status epilepticus itself. We know there's greater mortality, we know there's greater morbidity and we know that there's greater need for higher dose, subsequent, anti-seizure medications, prolonged status, if we don't use the proper doses. So, we'll kind of go over that a little bit, but that is the one clinical takeaway that I really would like our listeners to have. Dr Jones: Let's follow that thread a little bit. Dave, I know obviously we will speak in hypotheticals here. We're not going to talk about actual patients, but I think we've all been in the clinical situation where you have a patient who comes into the emergency room usually who's actively seizing, unknown history, don't know much about the patient, don't know much about the circumstances of the onset of the seizure. But we now have a patient with prolonged convulsive seizures. How do we walk through that? What are the first steps in the management of that patient? Dr Vossler: Yeah, well, I'll try to be brief for the purposes of the podcast. We do, of course, go through all of that in detail in the Continuum article, which hopefully everybody will look at very carefully. Really in the first table, the very first table of the article, I go through the recommended guideline for the American Epilepsy Society on the management of what we call established status epilepticus. The scenario you're talking about is just exactly that: established status epilepticus. It's not sort of evolving or developing status. We're okay they're having a few seizures and we're kind of getting there. No, this patient is now having evidence of convulsive seizure activity and it's continuing or it's repeated seizures without recovery. And so, the first phase is definitely a benzodiazepine and then the second phase is then a longer-acting bolus of a drug like phosphenotoine, valproic acid or levetiracetam. I could get into the details about dosing of the benzodiazepines, but maybe I'll let you guide me on whether we wanted to get into that kind of detail right at the outset. It's going to be a little bit different. For children, its weight-based dosing, but for adults, whether you use lorazepam or you use diazepam or you use midazolam, the doses are a little bit different. But they are standardized, and gets back to this point that I made earlier, we're acting too slow. We're not getting these patients quick enough, for various reasons, and the doses that are most commonly used are below what the guidelines call for. Dr Jones: That's great to know, and I think it's fine for the details to refer our listeners to the article because there are great details in there about a step-by-step approach to the established status epilepticus. The nomenclature and the definitions have evolved, haven't they, Dr Vossler, over time? Refractory status epilepticus, new-onset refractory status epilepticus, super refractory status epilepticus. Tell us about those entities, how they're distinguished and how you approach those. Dr Vossler: That's an important thing to kind of go over. They- in 2015, the International League Against Epilepsy, ILAE, which is, again, our international organization that guides our understanding of all kinds of things epileptic in nature around the world. In 2015 they put out a definition of status epilepticus, but it used to be that patients had thirty minutes of continuous seizure activity or repetitive obvious motor seizures with impairment of awareness and they don't recover impairment between these seizures. And that goes on for thirty minutes. That was the old definition of status epilepticus. Now, the operational definition is five minutes. And I think that's key to understand that, after five minutes of this kind of overt seizure activity, you need to intervene. And that's what's called T1 in the 2015 guideline, the international guideline. There are a bunch of different axes in the classification of status that talk about semiology, etiology, EEG patterns, and what age group you're talking about. We won't really get into those in the Continuum article because that's really more detailed than a clinician really should be. Needing to think about the stages, what we call the stages of status epilepticus that you mentioned and I alluded to earlier are important. And that is sort of new nomenclature, and I think probably general neurologists and most emergency room physicians aren't familiar with those. So, it just briefly goes through those. Developing status epilepticus is where you're starting- the patient's starting to have more frequent seizures, and it's heading essentially in the wrong direction, if you will. Established status epilepticus, as I mentioned, is, you know, this seizure act, convulsive or major, major outward overt seizure activity lasting five minutes or more, at which time therapy needs to begin. Again, getting back to my point, what doesn't happen often enough is we're not- we're intervening too late. Third is refractory status epilepticus, which refers to status epilepticus which continues despite adequate doses of an initial benzodiazepine given parenterally followed by a full loading dose of a single non-sedating anti-seizure medicine, which today includes phosphenotoine IV valproic acid or IV levetiracetam. In the United States, and increasingly around the world, people really are using levetiracetam. First, it has some advantages. There's now proof from a class one NIH-funded trial. We know that these three drugs are equivalent at the full doses that I go over in the article. You have your kind of dealer's choice on those. Phenobarbital, which we used to use and I used as a resident as long as forty years ago, is really a second choice drug because of its sedating and other side effects. But around the world in resource-poor countries phenobarbital can be used and, in a pinch, certainly is an appropriate drug. And then finally, you mentioned super refractory status epilepticus and that's status that's persisting for more than twenty four hours. Now, despite initial benzo and non-sedating anti-seizure medicine, but also lasting more than twenty four hours while receiving an intravenous infusional sedating, anesthetizing anti-seizure medicine like ketamine, propofol, pentobarbital or midazolam drips. Dr Jones: So, it sounds like the definitions have evolved in a way that improves the outcomes, right? To do earlier identification of status epilepticus and more aggressive management, I think that's a great takeaway. If we move all the way to the other end of the spectrum, let's move to the ambulatory setting and we have a patient who comes in and they've had one seizure, they're an adult; one seizure, the first seizure. The key question is, how do we anticipate the risk of future seizures? But walk us through how you talk to that patient, how you evaluate that patient to decide if and when to start anti-seizure medicines. Dr Vossler: Well, it depends a little bit if it's an adult or a child, but the decision making process and the data behind it is pretty robust now. And the decision making process is pretty similar for adults and children, with some differences which I can talk about. First of all, first seizures. I think it's really important to stress that there's been so much research in this area. I'd like to get a cross point that they're not as innocuous as I think many general neurologists might suspect. We know that there is a two- to threefold increased risk of death in children and adults following a first seizure. Moreover, the risk of a second seizure, both in kids and adults, is about 36% two years after that first seizure. It's about 46% five years after that first seizure. It's really pretty substantial. The risk of a second seizure is increased twofold. It doubled in the presence of any kind of a history of prior brain insults that could result in seizures. Could be infections, it could be a prior stroke, it could be prior significant brain trauma. It's also doubled in the presence of an EEG, which shows epileptiform discharges like spikes and sharp waves---and not just a sort of borderline things like sharply contoured rhythmic Theta activity. That's really not what we're talking about. We're talking about overt epileptiform discharges. It's doubled in the presence of lesion that can be seen on imaging studies, and it's doubled in the presence of seizures if that first seizure occurs during sleep. So, we have a number of things that double the risks, above the risk of a second seizure, above that 36% at two years and 46% at five years that I spoke about. And so those things need to be considered when you're counseling a patient about that. Should you be on an anti-seizure medicine after that first seizure? Specifically, to the point of anti-seizure medications, the guideline that was done, the 2015 guideline that was done by the American Academy of Neurology for adults, and the 2003 guideline was actually a practice parameter that was done by the Academy and the American Epilepsy Society for children, are really kind of out of date. They talk about the adverse effects of anti-seizure medications, but when you look back at the studies that were included in developing that practice parameter for kids and guidelines for adults, they are the old drugs: carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital and valproate. Well, I don't think I need to tell this audience, this well-educated audience, that we don't use those drugs anymore. We are using more modern anti-seizure medicines that have been developed since 1995; things like lamotrigine, levetiracetam, and lecosamide. Those three in particular have very low adverse events. So, the guideline that the Academy, American Academy Neurology and American Epilepsy Society put together for kids and for adults talks about this high adverse event profile. And so, you need to take a look at the risks that I talked about of a seizure recurrence and balance that against adverse effects. But I'm here to tell you that the newer anti-seizure medicines---and by newer I'm talking in the last thirty years since lamotrigine was approved in 1995---these drugs have much better side effect profiles. And I think all epileptologists would agree with that. They're not necessarily more effective, but they are better tolerated. That makes the discussion of the risk of a second seizure, the risk of mortality versus side effects of drugs, it really pushes the risk category higher on the first side and not on the side of drugs. We know that if you take an anti-seizure medicine, you reduce your risk of a second seizure by half. Now, that's not sustained over five years, but over the first two years, you've reduced it by half. In a person who's driving, needs to get to work, has to take the kids to school, whatever, most of my patients are like, yeah, okay, sign me up. These drugs are really pretty well tolerated. There's a substantial risk of a second seizure. So, I'll do that. In a kid,  a child that's, you know, not driving yet, that might be a different discussion. And the parents might say, well, I'd rather not have my son exposed, my daughter exposed to this. They're trying to go to school. They're trying to learn. We don't want to hinder that. We'll wait for a second seizure and then if they have a second seizure, which by the way is, you know, one of the definitions of epilepsy, well then they have epilepsy, then they probably will need to go on the seizure medication. Dr Jones: Great summary, Dr Vossler, and it is worth our audience being aware that the evidence has evolved alongside the improvement in the adverse effect profile. And sounds like your threshold is a little lower to treat then maybe it would have been some time ago, right? Dr Vossler: I would say that's exactly correct in my opinion. Particularly for adults, absolutely. Dr Jones: That's fantastic, Dr Vossler. I imagine there are a lot of aspects of caring for these patients that are challenging, and I imagine many scenarios are actually pretty rewarding. What do you find the most rewarding aspect of caring for patients with acute seizure management? Dr Vossler: Yes, I mean, that is really true. I would say that the most challenging things are treating refractory status epilepticus, but worse yet, new onset refractory status epilepticus and the super refractory status epilepticus, which I talk extensively about or write extensively about in the article and provide a lot of guidance on. Really, those conditions are so challenging because they can go on for such a long time. Patients are hospitalized for a long time. A lot of really good clinical guidance doesn't exist yet. There is a tremendous amount of research in that area which I find exciting, and really there's an amazing amount of international research on that, I think most of our audience probably is unaware of. And certainly, with those conditions, there is a high risk of later disability and mortality. We go through all of that in the article. The rewards really come from helping these people. When someone was super refractory status and it were non- sorry, new onset refractory status epilepticus, has been in the hospital for thirty days, it gets really hard for everybody; the family, the patient. And for us, it wears on us. Yet when they walk out the door, and I've had these people come back to the epilepsy clinic and see me later. We're managing their anti-seizure medications. They've survived. The NORSE patients often have substantial disability. They have cognitive and memory and even some psychiatric disability. But yet we can help them. It's not just management in the hospital, but it's getting to know these people, and I take them from the hospital and see them in my clinic and manage them long-term. I get a lot of great satisfaction out of that. We're hoping to do even better, stop patients' status early and get them to recover with no sequelae. Dr Jones: What a great visual, seeing those patients who have a devastating problem and they come back to clinic and you get the full circle. And what a great place to end. Dr Vossler, thank you so much for joining us, and thank you for such a thorough and fascinating discussion on the importance of understanding and managing patients with the first seizure, acute repetitive seizures, and status epilepticus. Dr Vossler: Thank you very much, Lyell.

On a misty morning in the fall of 1985, a small group of Haida people blockaded a muddy dirt road on Lyell Island, demanding that the government work with Indigenous people to find a way to protect the land and the future. The Stand is a riveting feature documentary drawn from more than a hundred hours of archival footage from that first blockade and the months that followed. Christopher Auchter, director of the award-winning documentary Now Is The Time, recreates the critical moment when the Haida Nation took a stand to protect their land. The Stand is showing this month in Vancouver and at other locations around BC. We spoke with Christopher Auchter in September last year.

En 1858, Darwin reçoit une lettre d'un jeune naturaliste gallois, Alfred Russel Wallace, qui travaille à Bornéo. Wallace demande l'avis de Darwin sur ses travaux qui - Darwin en tombe de sa chaise -  aboutissent aux même conclusions ! Wallace prie Darwin de transmettre le document, s'il le trouve satisfaisant, à Lyell, un éminent géologue de cette époque (cf épisode 2/8). Darwin est désespéré, aux abois. Faut-il transmettre le texte de Wallace et perdre le bénéfice de 20 ans de travaux ? Faut-il publier ses propres textes en doublant Wallace sans le lui dire ? Darwin, loyal et bienveillant, coupe la poire en deux. Les textes seront présentés comme cosignés et lus devant l'éminente Société linnéenne de Londres. Ce sera le premier séisme scientifique, celui qui annoncer la publication de l'origine des espèces en 1859. Cette publication va faire tomber l'homme du piédestal sur lequel il s'était installé. Une révolution sans précédent depuis la découverte de la gravitation par Newton._______ 

A l'occasion de la Journée mondiale de Darwin, le 12 février, BSG rediffuse une série consacrée au père de la théorie de l'Évolution.Dans cet épisode, l'explorateur Alexander Von Humboldt, le botaniste et entomologiste John Henslow et le géologue Charles Lyell, dont les explorations, les études et les théories ont beaucoup influencé le jeune Darwin.Alexander von Humboldt (1769 - 1859) est le «second découvreur de l'Amérique». Cet allemand, frère intrépide du fondateur de l'université de Berlin, était un mix entre De Vinci et Mike Horn pour faire simple;) Un esprit universel, qui remonté l'Orénoque en pirogue, escaladé le volcan Chimborazo (un volcan très spécial, cf épisodes volcans avec JM Bardintzeff), bravant bien des tempêtes au long cours...John Stevens Henslow obtient en 1822 la chaire de minéralogie de l'université de Cambridge. Ce religieux progressiste se passionne pour la botanique et l'entomologie. Henslow est un professeur très recherché. Son élève Charles Darwin lui doit son intérêt pour l'histoire naturelle. C'est grâce à Henslow que Darwin rencontre le capitaine Robert FitzRoy du HMS Beagle.Le géologue Charles Lyell expose vers 1830 une théorie très controversée: la terre aurait été façonnée lentement, pendant des millions d'années, par des forces toujours existantes (uniformitarisme). Cette vision s'oppose au catastrophisme soutenu par Cuvier. Selon le Français, la Terre avait été modelée par une série de catastrophes, tel le déluge, dans un laps de temps court. Cuvier was wrong... Lyell, ami proche de Charles Darwin, est l'un des premiers scientifiques reconnus à apporter son appui à L'Origine des espèces, à une époque où Darwin essuyait une grosse shitstorm...Jean-Claude Simard est  professeur de philosophie et chercheur à l'Université du Québec à Montréal, et un grand connaisseur de la vie de Charles Darwin.Sur la photo: Alexander Von Humboldt_______

Vivimos en un mundo en el que las ciencias son de nicho y las letras, de multitudes. Mucha gente ha leído el Quijote, pero muy poca ha leído los Principia de Newton o los Elementos de Euclides. ¿Somos, pues, una sociedad de letras? ¿A qué se debe? ¿Y cómo podemos remediarlo? En el programa de hoy, el historiador de la ciencia José Manuel Sánchez Ron nos propone un viaje por las grandes obras maestras de la historia de la ciencia. Será difícil que leamos los Principios de Geología de Lyell o La Naturaleza del Enlace Químico de Pauling si ni siquiera los conocemos. Para remediar esto, Sánchez Ron ha escrito "El canon oculto", un libro en el que recopila las 100 obras científicas que todos deberíamos conocer si no queremos ser unos auténticos incultos. Porque la ciencia, como empeño humano que es, también es cultura. Al profesor Sánchez Ron ya lo tuvimos en el programa, en su faceta de académico de la lengua, hablando sobre las palabras científicas del Diccionario de la RAE.

This is the fourth part in a series on artificial intelligence in medicine and we try and unpick the causes and consequences of adverse events resulting from this technology. Our guest David Lyell is a research fellow at the Australian Institute of Health Innovation (Macquarie University) who has published a first-of-its kind audit of adverse events reported to the US regulator, the Federal Drugs Administration. He breaks down those that were caused by errors in the machine learning algorithm, other aspects of a device or even user error.   We also discuss where these all fit in to the four stages of human information processing, and whether this can inform determinations about liability. Uncertainty around the medicolegal aspects of AI-assisted care is of the main reasons that practitioners report discomfort about the use of this technology. It's a question that hasn't been well tested yet in the courts, though according to academic lawyer Rita Matulonyte, AI-enhanced devices don't change the scope of care that has been expected of practitioners in the past. Guests>Rita Matuolynte PhD (Macquarie Law School, Macquarie University; ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision Making and Society; MQ Research Centre for Agency, Values and Ethics)>David Lyell PhD (Australian Institute of Health Innovation, Macquarie University; owner Future Echoes Business Solutions) ProductionProduced by Mic Cavazzini DPhil.

Dr. Tina Albertson is the Chief Medical Officer and Head of Development at Lyell, using cell therapy to fight solid tumors through epigenetic and genetic reprogramming methods. Tumors have their own mechanisms for suppressing the immune system. These are the types of pathways Lyell is targeting with their engineering to find ways to counter the exhaustion that the T cells exhibit so that T cells can stay functional and kill the solid tumor cells. Tina explains, "Our cell therapies are from the patient's own cells, so these are what we call autologous cell therapies. We take the cells from the patient and bring them, in our case to Seattle, to our manufacturing facility. We both genetically and epigenetically reprogram them during manufacturing so that the cells will be resistant to the suppressive microenvironment of the solid tumors."  " I think most people are familiar with the concept of stem cells, which can self-renew as well as make cells that are functional and can differentiate. So when we reprogram them, we make them more stem-like, and this allows us to infuse cells into the patient that should be more persistent and more functional."  "The second product we're also testing in trials is tumor infiltrating lymphocytes or TILs. This is a product where you need a piece of their cancer or their tumor and extract the T cells from the tumor itself. That requires surgery, then a piece of tissue is also sent to our manufacturing facility. Those T cells are extracted and expanded. That takes a little bit longer. But similarly, once those are expanded to the right cell number, we send them back to the site to be reinfused into the patient." #Lyell #CellTherapy #SolidTumors #Oncology #Cancer #TCells #TCellExhaustion #AutologousCellTherapy lyell.com Download the transcript here

“There's a real diversity of jobs available that folks don't always think about initially when they think about going into healthcare,” says Marc Cummings, the President and CEO of Life Science Washington, a nonprofit trade association serving the life sciences industry in the state of Washington. Dr. Tina Albertson, the Chief Medical Officer at nearby Lyell Immunopharma, agrees. For instance at her company, which does R&D on cell therapies for solid tumor cancers, there's a need for specialists in logistics who organize and monitor the movement of patient cells that need to be flown to other locations to be genetically engineered and returned to the bedside for use in treatment. As these industry veterans share with host Michael Carrese, the Seattle region is a well-established hub in the growing biotech sector due to a unique blend of strengths including longstanding non-profit research institutions and powerhouse tech companies such as Microsoft and Amazon. “This region is really well-prepared for innovation from a basic science standpoint and also from the tech side of our community,” says Albertson. Check out this revealing discussion of the challenges and opportunities in life sciences, the critical role AI and machine learning is now playing, and what they wish more people understood about clinical trials and drug development. Mentioned in this episode: https://lyell.com/https://lifesciencewa.org/

Episode 184 – 10 Facts Every Christian Needs to Know 12 – Genesis Withstands the Doubts Welcome to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” The goal of Anchored by Truth is to encourage everyone to grow in the Christian faith by anchoring themselves to the secure truth found in the inspired, inerrant, and infallible word of God. Script: As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verses 37 through 39, New International Version ******** VK: Hello! I’m Victoria K. Welcome to Anchored by Truth brought to you by Crystal Sea Books. We’re very glad to be with you today as we continue the series we started several weeks ago on Anchored by Truth. We are calling this series “10 Facts Every Christian Needs to Know.” In the studio today we have RD Fierro. RD is an author and the founder of Crystal Sea Books. Today we are going to cover the last – the 10th of the 10 facts that we are discussing during this series. RD, we have typically been doing a short review of where we are in the series before we start of the new fact. But you said that today you wanted to just jump right into fact 10 because we have so much material to cover. RD: Well, I’d like to start by also saying hi to the listeners joining us here today but – yes – today I just wanted to get right into our discussion. Listeners who want to hear the discussion about any of the first 9 facts episodes of this series can find the episode where we discussed them on their favorite podcast app or from our website: crystalseabooks.com. VK: So, what is the 10th fact that every Christian needs to know? RD: The 10th fact every Christian needs to know to ensure that they can be secure in their confidence in the Bible is this: while the secular world has doubts about the historicity of the book of Genesis, the book of Genesis has never been disproven and indeed it cannot be disproven. Conversely, while the Big Bang Theory and Deep Time, the evolutionary hypothesis, and the uniformitarian hypothesis are widely accepted they have never been proven to be true, and indeed, they cannot be proven to be true. VK: Wow. Those are seemingly remarkable statements. Yet, you are saying those are facts. So, just to be sure that we’re being clear I want to restate our 10th fact. The secular world may have doubts about the historicity of the book of Genesis, but the book of Genesis has never been disproven - and indeed - it cannot be disproven. Conversely, while the Big Bang Theory and Deep Time, the evolutionary hypothesis, and the uniformitarian hypothesis are widely accepted they have never been proven to be true - and indeed - they cannot be proven to be true. I think that you’re right that we do need to get straight into the discussion. Where do we begin? RD: Well, let’s focus on the first part of our fact first. It’s sad to say but we cannot avoid noting that there are widespread doubts today about the historicity of the book of Genesis – not just by unbelievers but also by some Christians. That’s sad but it’s true. Many Christians have felt the need to surrender their belief in the Bible’s record of 6 literal days of creation that occurred just over 6,000 years ago. These Christians have been so bombarded by the narratives that circulate in our culture, especially our educational institutions, that the universe and earth are billions of years old that they have tried to reach an accommodation with those ideas. So, a number of seemingly acceptable alternative ways of interpreting Genesis such as the Day-Age theory or the Gap theory. VK: The “Day-Age” idea is that the creative days described in chapter 1 of Genesis are not normal 24-hour days but rather simply creative periods of an indeterminate length. The Day-Age theory argues that the Hebrew word translated as “day” in Genesis, chapter 1, can simply mean a long period rather a regular day. They sometimes appeal to passages like 2 Peter, chapter 3, verse 8 which says, “But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.” That’s the New International Version. RD: Yes. But as we pointed out in our Truth in Genesis series the Day-Age theory is not consistent with the ordinary rules of interpretation of the Hebrew words and grammar which clearly point to that part of scripture as being history and not some sort of poetic construction. Dr. Jonathan Sarfati who was our guest in that series makes that point very clearly in his Genesis commentary The Genesis Account. VK: And the “Gap theory” postulates that there was somehow a long gap between verse 1 of chapter 1 of Genesis and verse 2 of chapter 1. Gap theorists believe that during this gap millions or billions of years of uniformitarian development and evolution occurred in the universe and on earth. They further believe that from verse 2 onward Genesis describes the recreation of the earth to restore it from a great war that occurred between the followers of Satan and God’s forces. This war devastated the original creation and therefore God had to repair the damage. Both the Day-Age theory and the Gap theory are attempts by Christian interpreters to harmonize the supposed billions of years conventional science says happened and the seemingly incongruous record of the 6 days of creation found in Genesis. RD: But the truth is that there is no need for Christians to adopt strategies such as the Day-Age theory or the Gap theory. There is abundant scientific evidence that supports the accuracy of the 6 day creation account of Genesis as well as other events described by Genesis such as a worldwide flood. VK: And we have covered some of that evidence in this series because we want people to begin to realize that they do not have to surrender their belief in Biblical inspiration and infallibility yet also trust science – real science that is. RD: Exactly. Real science casts considerable doubt on the alternatives that are postulated to the history contained in Genesis – and that’s what we want to focus on with this 10th fact. The secular world has come to doubt Genesis largely because of the idea of uniformitarianism that was popularized by Charles Lyell and the biological extension of uniformitarianism, evolution, which was popularized by Charles Darwin. Neither Lyell nor Darwin were the originators of the ideas with which their names are now prominently associated but they did write books that brought their ideas into widespread public consciousness. Lyell wrote Principles of Geology in the early 1830’s and Darwin wrote On the Origin of the Species in 1859. Over time these books and the ideas contained in them continued to gain a greater foothold in western thought. That foothold has progressed to such an extent that today their ideas are taught in virtually every educational classroom and textbook in much of the developed world. VK: And it is largely owing to the spread of the ideas of geological uniformitarianism and biological evolution that many Christians have felt compelled to try and find a way to keep one foot in so-called science and the other foot in believing in the Bible. But this attempt has never achieved the desired aim. Christians hoped to preserve the Bible’s acceptability by seemingly finding within its text reasons that the Genesis creation account was consistent with the alleged spread of a science that demanded billions of years. But that never happened did it? RD: No. Starting in the latter part of the 19th century Christians began trying to embrace what was a blatant contradiction in their belief system – a manufactured harmony between deep time and the 6 creative days of Genesis. But the only thing since they began the attempt is that the Bible has seen its influence on society consistently shrink. Lyell’s and Darwin’s ideas require billions of years of Deep Time in which to accomplish their work. We need hundreds of millions of years for a trickle of water to turn a rut into the Grand Canyon. And the hope is that with billions of years the random collision of inanimate hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon atoms could turn into heroes, warriors, and champions. But, of course, the idea the earth and universe have been around for billions of years is in direct conflict with what we learn from Genesis. So, many Christians surrendered the truth of Genesis and placed their trust in human pronouncements. This has had a predicable effect. Rather than those Christians influencing the culture the culture influenced their faith. In the process both were compromised. VK: The truly tragic thing is that there was no need for Christians to make this accommodation. Ironically, as real science has progressed we have seen more and more empirical observations that actually affirm the historicity of the book of Genesis. For instance in Darwin’s day there had been no discoveries of soft dinosaur tissue that was so well preserved that red blood cells were still identifiable as such under a microscope. That happened in the 1990’s. In Lyell’s day geologists began to think that enormous river valleys such as the Grand Canyon were the result of erosion that occurred over millions of years. But in the 1920’s an American geologist, J. Harlan Bretz, became convinced that many of these river valleys weren’t due to erosion but were created by truly epic floods. Bretz proposed that the river valleys of eastern Washington were caused by such floods. When he first proposed his idea in the 1920’s he was met with widespread disbelief. Yet acceptance of the truth of Bretz’s observations is so widespread today that, at the age of 97, Bretz was awarded the Geological Society of America’s highest honor. Said differently, disbelief was transformed into belief. RD: Yes. And in the case of the book of Genesis widespread belief in its truth in the early part of the 19th century was gradually transformed into widespread disbelief by the latter half of the 20th century. A great many Christians came to, and are still under, the mistaken impression that the book of Genesis has either been disproven or at least that we cannot accept it as literal history. They thought and think that Deep Time, uniformitarianism, evolution, the Big Bang, etc. had rendered Genesis a sort of poetic origins story at best or outright wrong at worst. In any case they came to believe that the creation account of Genesis was irrelevant to the weightier matters of their faith like sin, salvation, and eschatology. But the book of Genesis was never disproven and, in fact, it cannot be disproven. VK: Why not? RD: Well, the biggest reason it can’t be disproven is because it’s true. VK: Touché. But I think we’re going to need more than that. RD: Well, also because you can neither prove nor disprove particular explanations for events of the distant past. All anyone can do with respect to events of the distant past is to look at the evidence that is currently available and then provide an explanation for why that evidence appears the way it does. This will always fall short of a complete “proof” because there will always be a second, third, or more possible explanation for that evidence. But in saying this we are not saying that some explanations may not be more reasonable than others. Some explanations certainly can be more reasonable than others. And that is what we have pointing out throughout this series. This 10th fact helps summarize what we have learned in this series. VK: So, the secular world may doubt the historicity of Genesis but doubt is not disproof. Doubt is just that. Doubt is a subjective opinion about the truth of a particular proposition but doubt does not prove anything. Nor does the doubt of a collective body of people prove anything. When J. Harlan Bretz first proposed his idea that the river valleys of eastern Washington were carved by monstrous floods his idea was widely doubted. But over time as more evidence came to light his idea gained widespread acceptance. The initial doubt did not mean Bretz was not correct. Today, most geologists believe Bretz is correct. But widespread acceptance does not automatically mean that Bretz is correct either. It simply means more people simply believe his explanation than the alternative. RD: Exactly. So, let’s reinforce that idea by turning to the second part of our 10th fact. VK: The second part of our 10th fact is that while the Big Bang Theory and Deep Time, the evolutionary hypothesis, and the uniformitarian hypothesis are widely accepted they have never been proven to be true - and indeed - they cannot be proven to be true. RD: Right. Today the most widely accepted theory of how the universe came into existence is the Big Bang theory – the idea that at one time all the matter and energy of the universe were present in a singularity that exploded one day and began a formation process that resulted in our current universe. This idea is so prevalent that many people, including many Christians, believe that it must have been proven to be true. But that is not the case at all. Again, in part because the only thing any current observer can do is to look at current evidence and try to provide an explanation for that evidence. And there is evidence that is helpful to the idea of a primordial Big Bang such as the expansion of the galaxies and the presence of universal cosmic background radiation. VK: Observations of the universe indicate that the galaxies are not simply in a static holding pattern. Instead they seem to be moving outward as if they were moving away from a central point of origin. Moreover, scientists have now detected what is sometimes called a background microwave radiation “echo” that seems to come from the entire universe. This echo was first thought to be malfunctioning instruments but it has now been verified so some scientists see it as the radiation that must have come from a giant fireball or explosion in the past – hence the term “Big Bang.” RD: And there are other lines of evidence that proponents of the Big Bang point to. And you hear affirmations about the theory so much it seems that it must almost have been proven to explain the origin of the universe. Yet, very few people focus on the fact that the Big Bang theory is far from having proven to be true. There are lots of scientific observations that do not support the Big Bang hypothesis such as the need for so-called Dark Energy and Dark Matter. VK: According to Wikipedia “Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter thought to account for approximately 85% of the matter in the universe. Dark matter is called "dark" because it does not appear to interact with the electromagnetic field, which means it does not absorb, reflect, or emit electromagnetic radiation like light and is, therefore, difficult to detect. Various astrophysical observations – including gravitational effects which cannot be explained by currently accepted theories of gravity unless more matter is present than can be seen – imply dark matter's presence. For this reason, most experts think that dark matter is abundant in the universe and has had a strong influence on its structure and evolution.” RD: Simply put, the Big Bang cosmological model needs dark matter to work. Without dark matter there is not sufficient gravitational pressure to cause stars to form with the known laws of physics. And it goes without saying that without stars the universe does not contain galaxies, planets, and ultimately life. But physicists have been looking for some way to confirm the existence of dark matter for decades and have come up empty. Dark matter is neither seen nor detected yet – as the Wikipedia article stated - it supposed to make up to 85% of the material of the universe. Dark matter is also needed to solve other puzzles that astrophysicists know about. But some scientists are starting to acknowledge the elephant in the room. A theoretical physicist Mordehai Milgrom has proposed an alternative to dark matter, called Modified Newtonian Dynamics (or MOND) wherein he slightly changes the law of gravitation on the very large-scale of galaxies to solve the problem of galaxy rotation curves and dynamics of galaxies on larger scales. VK: According to a 2014 New Scientist article1 Milgrom was asked by reporter Marcus Chown: “Why is now a good time to take an alternative to dark matter seriously?” Milgrom replied: “A host of experiments searching for dark matter, including the Large Hadron Collider, many underground experiments and several space missions, have failed to see anything convincing. This comes on top of increasing realization that the leading dark matter model has its failings. Among other things, it predicts that we should see many more dwarf galaxies orbiting our Milky Way than we actually do.” RD: There are a great many problems with the Big Bang theory but that does not mean it is not widely accepted. It is. But the Big Bang theory, like all theories that depend on deep time are based on assumptions that are unproven and unprovable. They all require the user to make assumptions about the initial conditions of the universe or matter, a consistency of processes for indeterminate time periods, an absence of intervening external factors, etc. Yet none of these assumptions can be proven. And all of these explanations to Biblical creationism are necessary because of an unwillingness to simply acknowledge the presence of God and the truth of the Bible. VK: And some scientists have become willing to admit that they do so. Harvard evolutionary biologist and geneticist Richard Lewontin wrote: “We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failures to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori adherence to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counterintuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in the door.” But some people might say that this is just a case of “he said, she said.” RD: They can certainly say that but as we have pointed out throughout this “10 facts every Christian needs to know series” there are not only problems with the widely accepted explanations of secular scientists there is affirmative evidence supporting Biblical creation – supporting the Bible’s record that the earth and universe are thousands of years old, that God intelligently used the matter He created to create living creatures, and that the events of Genesis still reveal their presence in language, geography, geology, etc. So, it’s not just a matter of “he said, she said.” One side brought not only their claims but also pictures, recordings, forensic evidence, supporting eye witness testimony, and rigorous analysis that did not suffer from the need to keep creating, as Dr. Lewontin put it, ”just-so stories.” VK: In other words, the Biblical explanation makes better sense about a lot of things. It makes better sense about how the sun makes the amount energy the earth needs to sustain life, how the earth-moon operate together to create the conditions for life, and why marine fossils are found on the highest mountains on earth. The Biblical explanation makes better sense the number and type of languages we see in existence today, the number of people we see around the world, and why regions, towns, and rivers are called by certain names. Yet, despite this, it is fair to say that doubts about the Bible remain. RD: Yes. And that’s why I chose the opening scripture I did. Jesus told us that in Noah’s day people were pretending that everything was okay, but it wasn’t. It will be that way when He comes back. The doubts are not proof of anything and despite the repeated attacks against it the Bible remains defiant. The Bible displays the two characteristics that any book claiming to be the word of God would have to meet. It is consistent with what we know about the history of the earth and universe and human history and it displays evidence of supernatural origin. These attributes are demonstrated by the 10 facts that we have covered in this series and, of course, thousands or hundreds of thousands of others. We’re not suggesting that we expect the narratives that have been gaining force and acceptance for over 150 years are going to be set aside overnight. But we do think that it is high time for Christians to arm themselves with the facts that will enable them to sustain their own faith and effectively pass it along to their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. VK: The point of this series and today’s discussion is to help Christians guard against the narratives that circulate so widely today. One of those narratives is that the Bible cannot be trusted. So, to push that narrative the critics must cast doubt on the reliability and authenticity of scripture. But reality pushes back on the claim that the Bible can’t be trusted. The evolutionary, uniformitarian, and deep time explanations that are offered all come with significant problems. Moses wrote Genesis 3,500 years ago. Humanly speaking, he could not have known what the population of the earth would be in 2022, what languages would be spoken, or how the names of Noah’s grandsons would continue to be found in the names of rivers, cities, regions, and cultures. He didn’t know the moon was slowly moving away from the earth or how fast carbon-14 would radioactively decay. He didn’t know there were mollusk fossils on Mt. Everest. But God did. Moses just recorded the history God gave to him. He did so faithfully and accurately and we see the fidelity of his account all around us today. To close, for today let’s listen to a prayer of corporate confession. All of us have sinned and fallen short of God’s expectations and we should confess that regularly. But we must always combine our confession with the gratitude that he tells us in 1 John that even as we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive those sins. Truly we serve a gracious as well as a mighty God. ---- PRAYER OF CORPORATE CONFESSION VK: Before we close we’d like to remind our audience that a lot of our radio episodes are linked together in series of topics so if they missed any episodes in this series or if they just want to hear one again, all of these episodes are available on your favorite podcast app. To find them just search on “Anchored by Truth by Crystal Sea Books.” If you’d like to hear more, try out crystalseabooks.com where “We’re not perfect but our Boss is!” (Opening Bible Quote from the New International Version ) The Gospel of Matthew, chapter 24, verses 37 through 39, New International Version Dark matter in trouble again - creation.com Stars don’t form naturally - creation.com Satan’s Strategy • Cast doubt on God’s goodness • Deny God’s truth • Elevate self-importance • Establish a replacement in the mind and heart for God’s truth Cultural Narratives One way to look at narratives is that there are primary and secondary narratives that circulate in our culture. The primary narratives are so embedded in our culture that they are not even noticed any more. They are like the framed prints on your wall. Initially you see them but as time goes by you notice them less and less. Eventually you only know they are there when a visitor comes in and remarks about them. Deep time, evolution, uniformitarianism, and the equality of all religious viewpoints are now primary narratives in our culture. Only fools and the suspect disagree with them. The narratives we notice (such as the prominent social and political narratives) are secondary ones - the acceptability of abortion, same sex marriage, the difference between "green" energy and fossil fuels, "public" education, increased government control and regulation, etc. The secondary ones emerge from and are dependent on the primary ones. • The Big Bang/deep time does away with the need for God as Creator. • Evolution does away with the need for God as the Author of life. • Uniformitarianism does away God as the Administrator of justice (become evil continually and God will wipe you off the face of the earth). Since we've done away with God we now create our own standards for what constitutes "personhood," family, man's dominion over the earth, etc. The problem is, of course, we didn't do away with God or His truth. And the house built on intellectual sand falls when the river of reality hits it. So, we will proclaim the truth to try to save some and maybe by God's grace many or most. People who doubt the inerrancy of scripture never think about any of this but they should. The line from that which they doubt the Word to a life they don't want to live is very straight. The line grows even more straight as it uncoils - just like the hangman's rope.

Professor Lyell Asher is the creator of the popular video series, “Why Colleges Are Becoming Cults,” where he gives an analysis of university academics and culture in the 20th and 21st centuries. One part of Asher's critique is focused on the effect of the embrace of “whole language” in lieu of phonics in schools of education and its deleterious effect on reading instruction. Asher received his PhD at University of Virginia and is associate professor of English at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon.

En 1858, Darwin reçoit une lettre d'un jeune naturaliste gallois, Alfred Russel Wallace, qui travaille à Bornéo. Wallace demande l'avis de Darwin sur ses travaux qui - Darwin en tombe de sa chaise -  aboutissent aux même conclusions !   Wallace prie Darwin de transmettre le document, s'il le trouve satisfaisant, à Lyell, un éminent géologue de cette époque (cf épisode 2/8).   Darwin est désespéré, aux abois. Faut-il transmettre le texte de Wallace et perdre le bénéfice de 20 ans de travaux ? Faut-il publier ses propres textes en doublant Wallace sans le lui dire? Darwin, loyal et bienveillant, coupe la poire en deux. Les textes seront présentés comme cosignés et lus devant l'éminente Société linnéenne de Londres.   Ce sera le premier séisme scientifique, celui qui annoncer la publication de l'origine des espèces en 1859. Cette publication va faire tomber l'homme du piédestal sur lequel il s'était installé. Une révolution sans précédent depuis la découverte de la gravitation par Newton. _______  

On Wednesday, we faced a tough subject. Erie has seen a steep increase in fentanyl usage, and the unpredictable drug is causing too many overdoses and deaths. Erie County Coroner Lyell Cook came to our State Street studios to share the local data, and his perspective on this very troubling drug usage epidemic.

Charles Darwin (1809 -1882) est l'auteur de la «théorie de l'Évolution». En 1859, la publication de L'Origine des espèces eût l'effet d'un impact d'astéroïde dans la mare religieuse de cette époque. La plus grande révolution de l'histoire de la biologie a commencé... Dans cet épisode, l'explorateur Alexander Von Humboldt, le botaniste et entomologiste John Henslow et le géologue Charles Lyell, dont les explorations, les études et les théories ont beaucoup influencé le jeune Darwin. Alexander von Humboldt (1769 - 1859) est le «second découvreur de l'Amérique». Cet allemand, frère intrépide du fondateur de l'université de Berlin, était un mix entre De Vinci et Mike Horn pour faire simple;) Un esprit universel, qui remonté l'Orénoque en pirogue, escaladé le volcan Chimborazo (un volcan très spécial, cf épisodes volcans avec JM Bardintzeff), bravant bien des tempêtes au long cours... John Stevens Henslow obtient en 1822 la chaire de minéralogie de l'université de Cambridge. Ce religieux progressisite se passionne pour la botanique et l'entomologie. Henslow est un professeur très recherché. Son élève Charles Darwin lui doit son intérêt pour l'histoire naturelle. C'est grâce à Henslow que Darwin rencontre le capitaine Robert FitzRoy du HMS Beagle. Le géologue Charles Lyell expose vers 1830 une théorie très controversée: la terre aurait été façonnée lentement, pendant des millions d'années, par des forces toujours existantes (uniformitarisme). Cette vision s'oppose au catastrophisme soutenu par Cuvier. Selon le Français, la Terre avait été modelée par une série de catastrophes, tel le déluge, dans un laps de temps court. Cuvier was wrong... Lyell, ami proche de Charles Darwin, est l'un des premiers scientifiques reconnus à apporter son appui à L'Origine des espèces, à une époque où Darwin essuyait une grosse shitstorm... Jean-Claude Simard est  professeur de philosophie et chercheur à l'Université du Québec à Montréal, et un grand connaisseur de la vie de Charles Darwin.

Wowee, this one was jam packed! Catherine Lyell is a men's health and porn addiction specialist and a pioneer in her field who's not afraid to say some controversial shit! We had amazing and fascinating chats about porn addiction and covered things like how common it is, what qualifies as a porn addiction, how to recognise if you or someone you love has a problem with porn, how porn works in the brain and the science behind how it rewires your neurologically, approaches to recovering from a porn addiction, the connection between gaming and porn addictions, the impact porn has on relationships and the negative effects on partners of those watching it, how masturbating to porn regularly actually causes damage in the brain and results in erectile dysfunction, the vicious cycle created that spirals into depression, cheating, lying, and other dysfunctional behaviours, and loads more! We actually decided to break up this episode into two parts so we could really do it justice, so next week's episode is also about porn addiction and will cover more on what to actually do about it and how to navigate this with a partner. There is hope! So stay tuned for that action!

In the Hold my Drink — navigating culture with a chaser of civility, and Counterweight podcast, Episode 42, we speak with Professor Lyell Asher on the dysfunction of education schools and their growing influence on higher education. Education schools are infused with ideology, which became apparent in many K-12 virtual classrooms in 2020. This ideology is also seeping into higher education as education school graduates take student-facing roles in various administrative positions. Join us as we discuss the inequities baked into the education school paradigm and solutions to uplift our most disadvantaged children. All discussed with a chaser of civility, of course, a sip of scotch and a michelada. To read a recap of the conversation and additional thoughts, and for podcast resources, visit our post Understanding Ed School Ideology & Dysfunction on the Hold my Drink website. You can also watch the conversation on the Hold my Drink YouTube page.
