Podcast appearances and mentions of neil tyson

 I saw the video from Neil TysonAnd he is explaining in precise words: The religions are correct: For spiritual purposes. For giving faith.Forgoing beyond worldly matters.For finding spiritual happiness.To become humble in front of the creator. To connect with the divine.To become honest and humble. And that proves even the greatest scientific geniuses.Like Kopernikus, Einstein, Tesla, Leonardo Da Vinci, Newton…Religions have nothing to do with science!We cannot let the Religions dictate what is scientifically true or wrong!Even so, science is 97% wrong!Only 3% remain true for longer than 5 years! People give up their faith in God and prefer science to be true!Life is not logical. We live in chaos that has some order! (Google: Images, Order in Chaos, Mandelbrot, fractal geometry). There are indefinite more irrational numbers than rational numbers.Why do even the greatest geniuses submit that there is a force, power that is beyond themselves? It is absolute nonsense that science should prove God's existence…Science is looking for trueness and is mainly always wrong … But through science, we discover and develop so much more opportunities, that science makes sense!I have learned as an engineer to create a model from/for the reality that should be as simple as possible.And that model is good enough if this model is true for only one aspect, even though there exist millions of aspects.We have learned:What we can watch, that we can control!What we cannot watch in every aspect, we never can control…!What can we watch in every aspect?Nearly nothing, compare to the things that exist…So, we never can prove that God is true! My Video: Science and God https://youtu.be/ujvD-ihBYVUMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast2/Science-and-God.mp3

Episode 3 explores a variety of topics related to science, genetics, and personal development. Hosted Jimmy Prime, and Tj, the podcast features lively discussions and debates about trending topics in the fields of science, genetics, and self-improvement

Show Notes: Covid fatigue: When we are in the eye of the storm and can't find our way out, it is easy to lose hope and think the storm will last forever. But one day the sun will shine on you again, and the clouds will clear, and you will look around and realize you have been blown to an even better place. Sometimes, in the storm, there is a miracle waiting to be seen. Dani, look for the lessons & gifts from the pandemic vs focus on the negatives Some days there won't be a song in your heart. Sing anyway. Emory Austin, take action to create energy, momentum, and movement Support kids in developing grit & confidence: Just remember: The people that say, “Your dreams are impossible” have already quit on theirs. Grant Cardone When someone tells me “No”, it doesn't mean I can't do it, it simply means I can't do it with them. Karen Quinones Miller May you never be the reason why someone who loves to sing doesn't, or why someone who dressed so uniquely now wears plain clothing, or why someone who always spoke so excitedly about their dreams is now silent about them, or someone gave up on a part of themselves because you were critical, nonappreciative, judgmental, or sarcastic about it. Mostafa Ibrahim; It's curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. Neil Tyson, Support kid's passions & dreams Mindfulness: Do not ask your children to strive for extraor­dinary lives. Such striving may seem admirable, but it is the way of foolishness. Help them in­stead to find the wonder and the marvel of an ordinary life. Show them the joy of tasting toma­toes, apples, and pears. Show them how to cry when pets and people die. Show them the infi­nite pleasure in the touch of a hand. And make the ordinary come alive for them. The extraordi­nary will take care of itself. William Martin Plenty of people miss their share of happiness, not because they never found it, but because they didn't stop to enjoy it. William Feather Model and teach kids to be in the moment and to savor each moment Being of service: We can't help everyone, but everyone can help someone. Ronald Reagan Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. Howard Thurman We live in a world in which we need to share responsibility. It's easy to say, “It's not my child, not my community, not my world, not my prob­lem.” Then there are those who see the need and respond. I consider those people my heroes. Fred Rogers; acknowledge heroes other than soldiers & first responders: teachers, activists, nurses, people who are of service to others, people who live life fully and don't care what others think "It actually doesn't take much to be considered a difficult woman. That's why there are so many of us." Jane Goodall, honor powerful girls even if they have rough edges Final thoughts for parents who want to become and remain an influence in their daughter's life now, throughout the teen years and beyond: My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person—he believed in me. Jim Valvano My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived and let me watch him do it. Clarence Kelland In the end, there doesn't have to be anyone who understands you. There just needs to be someone who wants to. Robert Brault Happy new year to you all Contact Dr. Jordan: www.drtimjordan.com

Some people have supernatural or paranormal experiences, while others yet have experiences with UFO sightings escalating to alien abduction or direct E.T. contact. Academics seem to believe none of this is real, and Neil Tyson recently suggested experiencers should livestream their alien abductions...is it only real if a video exists?http://www.troubledminds.org Support The Show! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/troubledminds https://rokfin.com/creator/troubledminds https://troubledfans.com https://patreon.com/troubledminds#aliens #conspiracy #paranormalRadio Schedule Mon-Tues-Wed-Thurs 7-9pst - https://fringe.fm/iTunes - https://apple.co/2zZ4hx6Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2UgyzqMStitcher - https://bit.ly/2UfAiMXTuneIn - https://bit.ly/2FZOErSTwitter - https://bit.ly/2CYB71UFollow Algo Rhythm -- https://bit.ly/3uq7yRYFollow Apoc -- https://bit.ly/3DRCUEjFollow Ash -- https://bit.ly/3CUTe4ZFollow Daryl -- https://bit.ly/3GHyIaNFollow James -- https://bit.ly/3kSiTEYFollow Jennifer -- https://bit.ly/3BVLyCMFollow Joseph -- https://bit.ly/3pNjbzb Matt's Book -- https://amzn.to/3fqmRWgFollow Nightstocker -- https://bit.ly/3mFGGtxRobert's Book -- https://amzn.to/3GEsFUKFollow TamBam -- https://bit.ly/3LIQkFw--------------------------------------------------https://www.gearpatrol.com/watches/a42136153/neil-degrasse-tyson-accutron-interview/https://twitter.com/tinyklaus/status/1602652380830498818https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/phenomenology/#PhenPhenhttps://theyflyblog.com/2019/04/the-ufo-contactee-experiencer-delusion/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenomenology_(philosophy)https://www.britannica.com/topic/phenomenologyhttps://www.howandwhys.com/whitley-strieber/https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Whitley_Strieberhttps://www.soulask.com/the-strange-case-of-whitley-strieber/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperrealityhttps://theamericangenius.com/tech-news/hyper-reality/https://literariness.org/2016/04/03/baudrillards-concept-of-hyperreality/https://cla.purdue.edu/academic/english/theory/postmodernism/modules/baudlldsimulTnmainframe.htmlhttps://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/anxiety-another-name-pain/202212/stop-looking-your-authentic-selfhttps://patents.google.com/patent/CN102761296A/en

We'd really encourage you to do that. So now we're gonna just get up and meet somebody you haven't met before fifth and sixth grade is gonna be released at this time. But junior high and high school are gonna be in cuz Jeremy's gonna be preaching this morning. So let's get up and mingle and Jeremy be back in just a minute. 9 (23m 34s): All right. Well good morning, everyone. Welcome. Welcome. I love it. Y'all rowdy this morning. Huh? That's great. Yeah, it was a surprise to see. First service was really rowdy as well. I don't know if it's the weather or what, what it is, but glad to see you guys awake as well. It's gonna be a great message. Pastor. Steve had a vacation this week and so he was gone. And so he asked me to come up and teach today and, and I showed him my outline earlier in the week. And he said, that sounds like it's a two-parter. 9 (24m 14s): So this, this will probably, well, this is going to extend into next week. So instead of one week, he got me two weeks. Sorry about that. Steve will be back after that. But my name is Jeremy. I'm the youth and family pastor. Hence the youth are staying in service. I'm glad to have them here. I, I realized the weight of, of today. I remember what I was doing 21 years ago. It was my college roommate's birthday and the phone was ringing off the hook. We, we, we thought that she was simply just trying to get ahold of him to wish him a happy birthday. When he finally picked up the, the phone and the kind that was attached to the wall, or we, we realized that the world had changed. 9 (25m 1s): And I spent that day with eight of my other college roommates staring at the TV, wondering how this would change the, our, what would this would change. And it did our, our, our world. Our nation has not been the same ever since on that day, the twin towers were attacked using our own commercial aircraft. The Pentagon was attacked and then flight 91 crashed in a field because of some brave men and women who decided they were gonna sacrifice their lives to bring that, that plane down to field and not into our capital building or into the white house. 9 (25m 46s): So that would start all this, this, this morning and with a, with just a moment of silence, as we, as we remember the, the brave men and women who rushed into those buildings that were on fire, the brave women, men, and women that stopped the airplanes from going where they were intended. We can remember them right now. 9 (26m 25s): Well, we thank you for the sacrifice those men and women paid to at least attempt the saving of li other lives. Lord, we think of that day that our world changed forever. When over 3000 people on American saw were, were, were killed because of the acts of a, a few evil people and how that's marked our world ever since Lord, where we thank you for those brave men and women that that kept evil at bay. 9 (27m 8s): We remember them now, Lord and Lord. Ultimately, we look to you, Jesus, because you, by your death and given of your life gave us freedoms in ways that we do not deserve Lord. So Lord, thank you for this morning, pray that we would open up your word and, and receive some truth. Lord Jesus made me pray. Amen. So we're taking a break, a short break from Peter this morning, and we're gonna look at, and we're gonna get ready for some verses that are to come in. 9 (27m 48s): Peter and that's maybe today is a little bit of a warmup for that, a little bit of, of getting ahead of the curve, but I'm gonna, I am gonna recommend that you get a note card out. I'm gonna be thrown out a lot of verses for you to mole over this week. Some passages to write down, to think through. And I want you to be like the BES and acts 17. You see the BES, Paul praises them because they heard what Paul had to speak. They heard Paul preach and then they went home and they searched the scriptures themselves. So some of the things I might say this morning might be new to you. 9 (28m 29s): It might be a little strange. And so I'm gonna encourage you to take what I have to say. Don't just take it from my word. Look at the scriptures. Look at these passages, look at our culture and we'll go from there. I also wanna do recommend that this, that there is some mature content in this morning's message. So I've tried to keep it a junior high level and above, but it, there will be a little bit of mature content, but I've labeled this message as the veil is getting thinner, you know, and when they unveil a new car, any car fans out there, you either go to the shows or, or, or, or you watch online and, and, and they're gonna be showing this new car. 9 (29m 10s): And so they have this veil covering the car, and then they, they say like, like the Tesla, the cyber truck, they pulled back the veil on that thing. And you're like, oh, what is this thing? It's, it's, it's it's crazy. Or that veil that was on my 13th, I think it was my 13th birthday bike. You see, I was getting into mountain biking and the Kmart huffy white Hawk was no longer doing the job. And I really, really wanted this Bianchi NA bike, but it was a little bit out. My, it was outta my price range and a little bit stretched to budget for my parents. 9 (29m 50s): And so that morning I woke up and there there's my birthday present. It's underneath this sheet. My parents had put a sheet over it and I'm like, oh man, is it gonna be another K-Mart bike? Or is it gonna be the Italian stallion, the Bianchi Nala? And because the sheet was thick, I couldn't see through it. But then my parents, they pulled it back and there was my dream bike, the Bianchi Nala, which I have some good, painful stories to tell on that bike. But had that sheet been any thinner I could have seen right through it. And I wouldn't have need to that veil wouldn't have need to be pulled back. I would've just known what it was. And I believe that in our culture, we're, we're, we're starting to see that the veil is getting thinner. 9 (30m 32s): We're starting to see a mixing of strange, strange things, a mixing between the natural and the supernatural in, in ways that steams like strange bed bedfellows, you know, movies. We think about when movies first came out and even movies in my childhood have changed a lot to movies. Now you think about all the supernatural movies that are coming out, you can think of even child children, children's movies like Moana. Right? Great movie. I was, I, I enjoy watching that, but what is it about it's about a demigod, a half band, half God being who comes and rescues the world, or he stole something. 9 (31m 16s): He guys put it back, or you look at the Marvel movies and how intense they're getting and how much superpower, superhuman strength. These, these things are being given. And, and it's, it's, it's getting strange to me. Our culture is being warmed up to the fact of this supernatural. And that makes sense because as we get closer and closer to the second coming of Christ, things will get more warmed up and more warmed up. The veil will become thinner and thinner. If you think about revelation, chapter 11, and that's maybe a verse to go back and or chapter to go back and look at revelation, chapter 11, we have the two witnesses in Jerusalem at the temple. And these two Jerusalem, these two witnesses were given the power that if anyone wanted to attack them, fire can come out of their mouth. 9 (32m 4s): They're given power over the water that they can either cause droughts or they can cause the water to turn to blood. That's weird. How do we go from right now where we're at in our culture, in our world to that to two men who can have fire come out of their mouth and not bat an eye, the world, doesn't take that into account the world. Doesn't like, oh my goodness, people gonna shoot fire mouth and, and, and repent. Or what about revelation 14 where there's three different angels flying in the, in the, in the heavens and the skies proclaiming different messages. And the world seems they turn a deaf ear to it. 9 (32m 47s): They're proclaiming the gospel. They're proclaiming the watch out for the mark of the beast. And yet the world's still marching the same way. How do we get to that place in the future? Where the people can be. So insensitives to these angels flying in the heavens. And that's because I think over the centuries, we've lost our supernatural biblical worldview, right? We think of angels and demons, but really Those are just cartoons, right? Those are those little things on the shoulders that get like speak into our ears. Is that really what angels and demons are? 9 (33m 28s): Or what about my friend's house? Who his mom had these chubby baby angels everywhere. Nothing to be fair. They were plastered everywhere in their house. Really cute, but I don't think that's a biblical angel. I don't see that picture and think, oh my goodness. And, and, and wanna fall down and this, whoa, I'm not, I shouldn't be here. The Shepherd's out in the field when that single angel comes to proclaim them a message. They all were just fallen down with fear. And the angels have to say, don't worry, don't fear. So much of our worldview right now is spent trying to explain everything naturally that we've lost the ability to understand and see what's the world around us. 9 (34m 15s): And as Christians, we're called to be a light to a broken world. And so how do we look at the world around us and bring the gospel? We see weird things are happening, weird things are happening. One of my favorite places growing up as a kid was the Woodlake hardware store. And it had a long history of being there. And I've, I, I think the employees must have thought we were CRA. We would go there days on end and just wander the aisles, just to look at every knife, every BB gun, every, every rope, every, just we as a kid. 9 (34m 55s): And I still do. I still do this every day. I walk into a hardware store. I just kind of catalog in my mind where things are at, if the, okay, if the faucet home breaks, this is where I can go to get that part. I just, I love wandering the aisles of hardware stores. And in a way I feel like that's kind of what I'm doing now is, is you look at culture and you start to pick up clues. Like what, how does this fit in with, with the Bible? What about this? Why is our government releasing data on UFO sightings by our military government report admits true UFOs. Aren't manmade. That's weird. 9 (35m 38s): That's weird that these, these airplane pilots, these military airplane pilots are reporting these things that, that forest surpass anything, any speed that we're capable of as humans, anything, any technology that we've ever made, and the ability for these, these crafts to be traveling super fast and then make these right hand turns out of nowhere without slowing down without curving, without any. And then these CRE they've they've reported in some of these, these reports that these crafts have either flown above, or they go under the water into the ocean. They're just, they're just, we it's weird. If you really dig into these things, how does that fit in with the Bible? 9 (36m 19s): Or what about stories of, of people who've come back from near death experiences? You know, those experience, those, those times where somebody dies on a ho operating operating table, either from a heart attack or something, and they report going to someplace and seeing something or having an out of body experience, Or what about those? Like those, those stories where people seem to come out of their body, hover over their body, hover over the operating table while their people are working on them, operate, look around in the room. They're, they're witnessing all these things going on to their own body, but yet their soul is detached. And yet, while their soul is attached, people have come back and reported that they've can remember, or they can retell the serial numbers on the back of the machines that were in that operating table or operating room knowledge that they had no prior understanding beforehand. 9 (37m 12s): Or what about the person that came back from this near death experience, this death, where they, their heart rate was dead and they came back and they said, well, I saw sh there's these shoes up on the hospital. There's so there's certain colored shoes up on the top of the hospital. How, how do we explain that as Christians strange? What if you encounter someone on the street who says that they've lived three previous lives and they can explain those things in detail and they explain in a way that's very historically accurate. Are they outta their mind? See, I think the Bible, I think we have a way in our Bible of explaining these things and that's what I want to kind of get at. 9 (37m 57s): But those are strange things out in the world. What about the strange things in the Bible? There's some strange passages in the Bible. Yes. Let's look at a few. And these are maybe just, we're just gonna, I'm just gonna highlight a few, throw a few at you kinda like spaghetti on the wall. Look at Genesis chapter six, when you get home, write that down. Genesis chapter six. And we're gonna break that down just a little bit more later on Genesis chapter six caused about talks about the sons of God and the NELI, the giants, the mighty men. That's strange Daniel chapter three talks about a hand of God coming and writing on the wall. 9 (38m 38s): And it wrote me. Faron was Daniel chapter three, Daniel chapter 10 has these dueling superpowers in the heavens that Daniel started praying. And for 21 days, he kept praying and fasting, praying, and fasting. And he got no answer from God until an angel finally came and said, I was held up by the prince of the kingdom of Persia in the heavens. And it wasn't until Michael, the arc angel came and released me fought against that superpower, that king kingdom, prince of the kingdom of Persia and released me. So I can come bring this to you now, Daniel, 10 (39m 16s): That's 9 (39m 17s): Strange. What about first King's 22, the prophet Makaya, and yawe having a council or a cohort, and then aligned spirit, a spirit coming forth and, and saying, I will be a lion spirit in the mouth of those 400 priests and Macias stood apart from that that's weird Reed, first Kings 22 this week, or then you get to sections like Psalm 82, where it's like God and his divine council Elohim stands in the council of the mighty, the L. 9 (39m 57s): And he judges amongst the El hems, the gods that's 82. Isaiah 14 is a strange one as well. Is it a, is Isaiah 14, a prophecy against a king? The king of Babylon? Or is it a prophecy against Satan? It would almost seem like both because he's talking at one point to the king of Babylon, but then another point he says that you were in the garden beforehand and you were a mighty chair up. So is he talking to the king of Babylon or is he talking to Satan? What about Ezekiel 28? Same thing, human king of tire, or is he talking about Satan? 9 (40m 37s): Then we have passages in the Bible that we so often just, just floss over like the, the, the Virgin birth of Jesus. That's a supernatural thing. What about Jesus' dealings with the demons? How, where do we categorize that? Where is that to be put? Or what if finally, about the, what about the resurrection from the dead Lazareth called out of the grave? After three days, four days, three days, he stumps. He stunk. He stunk by that time called out of the grave or Jesus. When he died the streets, they said the tombs were opened and men began to walk about the streets. 9 (41m 22s): That's weird. These things are weird, but if the Bible is strange, what about the world around us as well? Thing, weird things are happening. As we all know, science is, is, is stuck in chasing after this philosophy of the, or this theory of the big bang, the theory of how we came into bean 13.8 billion years ago, there was a sub atomic particle and it blew up. And then this whole world came into, into be well, right now in se Switzerland is one of the largest machines in the world. 9 (42m 3s): It's called the large Hadron Collider. It's a sub sub atomic Parto particle Collider. And what it is, it's a 17 mile tunnel underneath the ground, about 300 feet under the ground. And it shoots out subatomic particles at near the speed of light. And these, these particles that what they're trying to find is how the universe was created. So they're trying to figure out how these things collided and how the big bang happened. Okay, They're looking for this, God particle the Boston Higgs particle, but strange things are there because it's not just science. You see, in between those buildings, you can find a bronze sculpture of the Hindu God Shiva, the Hindu God of destruction. 9 (42m 53s): And that is said, that is balancing unifies, ancient mythology, religious art, and modern physics. Why do you need a picture or a depiction of the Hindu God Shiva in the middle of a very, the world's biggest science experiment, where the scientists are saying that weird things are apparitions are happening as their, as these particles are colliding. In fact, there's many atheist scientists that were, that were calling up great warnings. We do not know what we're doing by colliding these things. One of those guys names is Neil Tyson. Degos another was Steven Hawking. 9 (43m 34s): They're like we are messing with things with forces, with powers, with things that we do not know, but going back to that, That sculpture, why, why have a sculpture of the Hindu God Shiva? This is what a postdoc student working there. His name is Aiden Randall Conde. He wrote this speaking about that statue. So in the light of day, when CERN is teaming with life, Sheva seems playable reminding us that the universe is constantly shaking things up and remaking itself and is never static. But by night, when we have more times to contemplate the deeper questions, Sheva literally cast a long shadow over our work. 9 (44m 17s): A bit like the shadows on Plato's cave. Sheva reminds me that when that we still don't know the answer to one of the LAR the, the biggest questions presented by the universe. And then every time we collide the beams, we must take the cosmic balance sheet into account. They're looking for something beyond science and they're finding it. What about if that is looking at the most ultimate, smallest particle and trying to find the origins of that? What about the, the galaxies recently, we just launched the James web space telescope, and it was a, it's an upgrade to Hubble. And this, this looks into the deepest universe, as farther than we, we can ever see. 9 (45m 0s): And if the images that are coming back are pretty phenomenal, but their discoveries are not matching their data or what they predicted or what they thought they would say. It's caused a lot of panic among scientists going there's things that we're witnessing or that were seen out there that we sh we, we didn't think we, we have to kind of rewrite the, go back to the drawing board in some sense, it's because there's trying to track down this big bang theory. So those are strange things. What about athleticism? What does athleticism have to do with worship? 9 (45m 41s): You see every, every two years, or it's held every four years in between the Olympics, there's this thing called the Commonwealth games. And this year was held in Britain. And at this opening ceremony, it was one of the strangest open ceremonies that you, you could ever imagine. I'd recommend going back and watching that. But here's a cl this is a, a, a still image from that Commonwealth games, athletic games. And what you see is a woman holding a fallen star. And that phone star is the way that she can then communicate with that beast. This, this bowl that is being shackled. 9 (46m 25s): At one point, the woman then gets to ride the beast. And if that doesn't give you a revelation, prophecy, it's, it's just wild, but she can communicate with the bowl because she has a fallen star. She then rides it. That's weird. Why, what does worshiping a bowl have to do anything to do with the athletic games? What about building projects? You think building a physical thing would just be just doing that, just building a physical thing. Well, in Switzerland as well, they built one of the large largest, longest tunnels in the world. 9 (47m 5s): It's called the Gohar tunnel and the Gohar tunnel as well. And the opening ceremony was one of those bizarre things you could watch in which there was a Satan, a, a literal Satan that showed up And they were dancing and worshiping this, this Satan. It goes a lot back to the, the, the history of the area, but it was it's strange. I don't recommend watching it creepy stuff. What does it have to do with building a tunnel, going back to what, what, what is our government, why is our government releasing this UFO and how the most important question is, how do we look at this from a, a biblical worldview? 9 (47m 49s): There's four different worldviews as I see it. So I made this, I made a little quadrant in the top left. You have this supernatural, a biblical worldview. So they are against the Bible. They do not believe in the Bible, but they believe in the supernatural. And those are people like that, that you would find in ancient mythology. The ancient mythology believed that there was gods and they created the worlds and they, they, they, well, you can, you can study mythology. Mythology will, will give you a supernatural, a biblical world view. 10 (48m 30s): It's 9 (48m 31s): Strange that even scientists are starting to head in that direction. Richard ha Richard Dawkins. One of the, a staunch atheist is now looked at the probability and, and more, more research that comes out about the, about our world that we know, and the probability that life could not happen without some outside force now says that he believes that aliens might have seated the, our, our race here on the world, because he's not willing to believe in a God, Jesus. He has to go and believe that maybe aliens seated our planet. So that's strange, but in the bottom left the naturals, a biblical world, you would, you would have your, a, your evolutionary believers that things have always continued as they were. 9 (49m 15s): Nothing's really changed. There's no God to just dance to your DNA down at the bottom, right? We have men like Charles Darwin who had a, who held a degree in theology. He tried to have a biblical worldview, but he looked around and tried to make it like it was a natural progression up on the top, right? As I, I believe the view of the, of the biblical authors and the view, I'm trying to steer us towards the supernatural biblical world view. And often that starts right in the beginning of the Bible, Genesis one through 11 Genesis, one through 11, not viewed as poetic, not a story, but a literal account of the things that happen. 9 (50m 7s): How did Jesus view Genesis? And I would question you, do you have the same view of Genesis that Jesus did see our biblical worldview includes this supernatural, like things like God calling into the universe, calling the world and universe into existence, created from nothing bar, nothing. And our biblical supernatural worldview hinges on two passages. The first I'd like to go to is Genesis three, Genesis three. And if you look at Genesis three, we'll look at 4, 3, 14 and 15 God handing out the consequences of the fall to the serpent. 9 (51m 2s): He says, because you have done this, you are cursed more than the cattle and more than every beast of the field and on your bell, you shall go and you shall eat of the dust all the days of your life. And I will put nity between you and the woman between your seed and her seed. He shall bruise your head and you shall bruise his heel. So in the same way that Isaiah 14 talks about a human king, but also Satan, who's controlling that human king the same way as Ezekiel has talked about another human king, that's being controlled by Satan. God is now addressing first, the serpent and then the power behind the serpent. 9 (51m 46s): So addressing the power behind the servant, he's talking about a cosmic battle that is to come. I will put enmity. I will put war between you, between the serpent between Satan, between you Satan and the woman between your seed Satan and between her seed. He shall bruise your head. So the coming Messiah shall bruise your head, serpent, Satan, but you shall be allowed to bruise his heel. That is the first message of the gospel. It's called the proto Evangelion, the first message of the coming Messiah. 9 (52m 27s): And that was the start of the cosmic battle between the seed of the woman and the seed of Satan. Now, as time goes on, we've come to another big event in the Genesis narrative. And that is found in Genesis chapter six, after giving the genealogy in Genesis chapter five, the Tola dot of Adam. We now come to this strange passage in Genesis six, about a worldwide flood and the need for it. And the flood was accepted up until the mid 18th century. 9 (53m 8s): It was a man by the name of George Von, who, who then looked at the world. And he said, well, things have always consisted. And they began to weed out that a global flood happened and they began to explain, like, things have always just continued the way it is. And so even George Beon got away from the world, a biblical worldwide flood, but going back fur further before him, the early church fathers, the biblical writers, they all believed in a worldwide flood, a global worldwide flood. Jesus himself believed in a global worldwide flood. Matthew 24 says, but of the day an hour, no one knows not even the angels in heaven, but my father only, but as the days of Noah were so also the coming of the son of man will be for as in the days before the flood, there were eating and drinking Marion and given marriage until the day that Noah entered the arc and did not know until the flood came and took him away. 9 (54m 10s): So also will be the coming of the son of man. Jesus is looking forward to some coming events, but he's using that. And he's looking back at the story of the flood as the days of Noah. He didn't say as in the days of the stories of Noah, Noah, as in the days of Noah, that's what it's gonna be like before my second coming Luke 17, he also says this as well as it was in the days of Noah. So it'll also be in the days of the son of man, they ate, they drank, they married wives and were given in marriage until the day that Noah entered the arc and the flood came and destroyed them all. 9 (54m 50s): If it was a regional flood, God could have just told Noah to move your family out of the area. I'm gonna flood the area there's wickedness there, but God didn't, God had him put into a safe place, had him made an arc. The only way of salvation in an arc that would then float above the waters during this time of global upheaval in which all were destroyed. So that's what Jesus believed. What do you believe? Genesis six is one of the strangest verses in the Bible chapters in the Bible, Genesis six, read the, we will read through one through four. 9 (55m 42s): We'll spend some time breaking it down a little bit this week, and maybe next week as well, Genesis chapter six, one through four says in now it came to pass. When men began to multiply on the face of the earth and the daughters were born to them, that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful. And they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. And the Lord said, my spirit shall not strive with man forever free is indeed flesh. Yet his days shall be 120 years and there were giants or Neelum on the earth in those days. And also afterwards, when the sons of God came into the daughters of men and they bore children to them, those were the mighty men of old men of renowned, strange verses might be about the strangest verses in the whole Bible. 9 (56m 34s): So we have to ask ourselves who is this group of beans, who is the sons of God? And I'll tell you there's been three major theories throughout 10 (56m 47s): Christianity. 9 (56m 51s): First is that they're fallen angels. The second theory is that their royalty that their, they took multiple wives and had hers. The third theory is the, is the Sethy theory theory. And that there's the descendants of the lineage of Seth marrying with the ungodly lineage. Those are the three main theories, but I'm not interested in theories. I wanna know what the Bible has to say. That's where we look at hermeneutics, the study and the art of interpreting the Bible. The most important is that scripture always interprets scripture. 9 (57m 31s): So we have to go and we have to look at where else this phrase, sons of God is, is used in the old Testament twice. It's used here in Genesis six, and then twice more it's used in the book of job. So job chapter one, verse six, he says that there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord and Satan came with them. Also, we know that job was brought up in that conversation. God said, look down at my people. And they found job as an excellent man. Once again, they, they, they corral back up job chapter two, verse one. And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord and Satan came also among them to prevent, present himself before the Lord. 9 (58m 22s): So we see that these sons of God come in a way to God, they're able to present themselves. And it says that strangely, that Satan came also. So you look at other passages of scripture and you see that Satan was a fallen angel as well. And so here we have a little, a little bit of knowledge, but let's look at job chapter 38. This is the last time it's used. God is then questioning job in job chapter 38, Joe job, you know, struggling with why he's doing all this. Why, why is all happening to him? 9 (59m 4s): And God begins to then ask questions to job. In, in this section in chapter verse six and seven, he's asking, asking them specific questions about creation. So in verse seven, he says, what are when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy, Joe were there when the, the stars sang together. When I created the world and the stars began to sing. And it's, and, and were you there when all the sons of God shouted for joy? So we see that the sons of God, and this, this section are used as angelic beans, divine beans that were there witnessing the creation of the universe. 9 (59m 46s): And they were there shouting for joy. So what we deduce from those passages and that is that the sons of God actually refers to angels. In Genesis six case. We look at the sons of God, refers to fallen angels, and we'll get to that in a bit. This whole thing about the sons of God becoming, becoming were descendants of Seth was a, a later theory in the early church, the early church always all believed that the sons of God were angels or angelic beans. But that then that the, that, that theory that the sons of God were the descends of Seth was introduced by Julius Africanists and later codified into the Catholic church by St. 9 (1h 0m 35s): Augustine, they took a natural biblical worldview. Now I know there's some pushback on this fallen angels theory in that, you know, there's a passage in mark chapter 12, when Jesus is talking about what the resurrection will be like, remember the stages he were arguing about, well, you know, Jesus, this, this brother dies. And the, his, his wife has to marry the next brother and that brother dies. And the wife has married her. He goes down, which, which husband is, is she gonna be married to in heaven? And so Jesus answered mark 12 and says for when they rise from the dead, they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven. 9 (1h 1m 21s): And see that's the angels in heaven. Doesn't say they cannot, but what, they don't see the angels in heaven, obey God, the fallen angels have left their place. And I have new Testament evidence for that as well. See, we pray in our Lord's prayer Lords here on earth. Like it is in heaven in heaven. God has his will. God has his way, but here on earth, we're praying. And we're called to give the gospel. We're called to pray that God's will be done here on earth. There's also some pushback because Genesis chapter six, when the new king James says, they took wives for themselves, it actually should be more like took women for themselves Because that word in the Hebrew word, that word Esau, it could be for a woman married or single. 9 (1h 2m 14s): So these sons of God took and that it took is a euphemism for sex. It's that same Herman word. You can study. Humanics. Judah took his wife, took his sister Tamar as in, he raped her. These angels left their place and they took women for themselves. That's weird stuff. So why do we need to know this? And you're probably asking me that question. Why do we need to know this? Why are you bringing this up? Because we're gonna be coming up on some strange verses in the new Testament, some strange ones coming up in first, Peter, and then in Jude, I love Steve pastor. 9 (1h 2m 59s): Steve. He's been, we've been working our way through, through the new Testament and we're in we're normally we've been in first, Peter, and we're gonna get come to these verses. In fact, first Peter three, we can look that up first, Peter three 18 through 21 says for Jesus also suffered once for all sins, the jest for the unjust that he might bring us to God being put to death in the flesh, but made alive by the spirits by whom he also went and preached to the spirits in prison who were formally disobedient when once the divine long suffering waited in the days of Noah while the arc was being prepared in that, which a few that is eight souls were saved through water. 9 (1h 3m 43s): You look at 20 verse 21 is a strange one as well. There is also an anti type, which now saves us baptism, not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but an answer of a good conscience towards God through the resurrection of Jesus. So the question is in first, Peter three, who are these spirits that were held in prison? We know they were disobedient when the divine long suffering Waited in the days of no. While the arc was being prepared, those 120 years that God said, my, I will not strive with man for this. I'm gonna put a limit to his days that wasn't a limit of years of life because their Abraham lived longer than 120 years, but it was the limit that God would put on the way that humanity was headed in 120 years, God said, I'm gonna bring the global worldwide flood. 9 (1h 4m 37s): And the only people saved would be those aboard the arc. So God had divine patience, divine long suffering, while he was waiting for Noah to complete the arc that his Noah and his family who were perfect, who had good DNA waiting for them to be saved. And there was only one way of salvation during the flood. And that was on the arc. What about second Peter chapter two verses four and five. It says for God, do not spare the angels who sin, but cast them down to and deliver them into chains of darkness to be reserved for judgment. 9 (1h 5m 22s): And he did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah. One of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly. So God sent a global worldwide flood and only saved Noah and his one of eight people. But before that, there were angels who sinned. Well, who were those angels who sinned. Those were those angels from Genesis chapter six that took women for themselves. They deliver them in a special place of chains and darkness to reserve for judgment. What about Jude chapter one, verse six or Jude six, cuz there's only one chapter, right? 9 (1h 6m 6s): Jude six says the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode. He has reserved in everlasting chains, under darkness for the judgment of the great day, those angels who left their proper domain, the angels, the sons of God who came in and took women, thereby creating a superhuman race, giving us the myth, the legends that we have in Greek mythology, Roman mythology, strange things, but it's biblical. 9 (1h 6m 54s): Now next week, I'm gonna get into the difference between angels and demons because there's very, very difference. It's a big difference and what I didn't do first service, but maybe I'll try this service is, is, is there any questions so far? I I'll be open to a couple questions. I know we're a little bit over time, but are they, is anything just pressing so far that I've said Things to study. I want you to take these things home to study. Don't just take my word for it. Go and study these things. But I think there's, if there we are wrestling, not against flesh and blood is what Paul said. 9 (1h 7m 38s): And that's why God is talks about Ephesians. Why God gives Paul the instructions that put on our full armor of God. And as I look at the full armor of God, I always, I always question, maybe you have to the boots. Why does somebody's feet need to be shawed with the preparation of the gospel of peace as a Roman soldier would put all their armor on as they're ready to go out to battle. They've been trained, they've been prepared. They would put on their last thing. They put on their boots. Boots. Things seems to be a strange thing for me in my mind that that Paul had mentioned. But then once you begin to learn what boots are to the Roman soldier, you learn that these boots not only had protection had covering, they had these two inch spikes in the bottom. 9 (1h 8m 23s): And that was, if you were in town, if you were like in your, in a parade, you'd wear these boots that had two inch spikes in the soul. But when going to battle, you would wear these spike. These spikes, your shoes that have were up to six inches long. And that's because the Roman soldiers viewed their, their shoes as a weapon. It was offensive thing because the Roman soldiers wanted to be, they knew they had to be hand to hand tight combat. They had shorter swords so they could swing them easier. They wanted to be up close in person. And one of the things they want on the tactics that they want to do to their enemies is they want to knock 'em to the ground. And then you just take a spiked boot right into their body. 9 (1h 9m 7s): To us. We hear the, the, the preparation of the gospel piece. That sounds so nice to us. Oh, wow. Yeah. I want to, I want my feet to be beautiful, like up on the mountains, like Isaiah talks about, but you have to remember from the perspective of the enemy, when we have our feet, shawed with a preparation of the gospel, peace that's peace to us and we wanna bring peace to others, but that peace comes at a cost to the enemy. The enemy know what that means and saying. So we have an enemy, Like Elijah said, when he, when he looked at his servant, a servant came in, gave him a report, oh, we're surrounded by the armies. Elijah's like, oh Lord, open his eyes. 9 (1h 9m 48s): Let him look up. And he saw above him a multitude of the heavenly host, just waiting to go to battle lately. I just finished the book, the pie in this darkness by Frank Peretti and this pastor who was just on his knees and prayer and the, and the, the damage, the, the darkness that was unfolding on the town, around him. As I wonder what that darkness is in the spiritual realm, around our church, around our community. Right now we need people who know what they're headed, the kind of battle that they're headed into and are prepared for that. So the more we know about our enemy, the more we can be prepared to fight that fight. 9 (1h 10m 31s): Dday was not one by sending one ship or two ships sent by rose and rows and boats and boats and lives and lives to storm that beach and to win it. It's because they knew the fortified city, the fortified beats that they're headed into and there came of cost. Next week. We're gonna jump into the difference between angels and demons and how those things influence us even now. And just as a precursor, I didn't give this to him. I'm gonna give you guys a clip of Joe Rogan next week. And I'm gonna show you how he has opened himself up to demons and how those demons are communicating with him. 9 (1h 11m 19s): That'll be next week. Let's pray, Lord. I know by your word that we are facing a battle, we are facing an enemy Lord. And there, there are people souls around us that are being held captive by the evil hosts, the evil armies, Lord, God, you have given us a, a gospel. That is good news. It is good news to us because we've believed it and we've taken it Lord, but is not good news to our enemies. 9 (1h 12m 1s): Lord, put on us the full armor of God that we may be able to fight against the wilds of the devil that we can go to battle for you. Lord, help us to understand the enemy and that what we're, what we're up against Lords. That was we, we love. And we preach the gospel to those around as family members, neighbors com people in our community, people in our schools that we can know that we are up against What you came to save and deliver from the darkness Lord. So we thank you Lord for this morning, Jesus name, we pray. 9 (1h 12m 43s): Amen. 4 (1h 13m 13s): Oh, my words, for sure. I can nothing new. How could I express? Oh my gratitude. I could sing these songs as I often do. Every song must praise you. 4 (1h 13m 58s): It, it's not much for singing. I've got, I've got one. 4 (1h 14m 54s): You and 11 (1h 15m 49s): Don't you get, I'll be lifted up lifts. Cause you got 4 (1h 15m 54s): Lie inside of those and praise the 1 (1h 16m 0s): Lord 4 (1h 16m 9s): Lift because you got my praise you again and again, he said for, 12 (1h 17m 46s): We just lay everything before you're thrown this morning and worship you, Lord, fill this with your spirit, shine through us. As we go about our week minister to our hearts, Lord, as we glorify you in Jesus name, amen.

 I saw the video from Neil TysonAnd he is explaining in precise words: The religions are correct: For spiritual purposes. For giving faith.Forgoing beyond worldly matters.For finding spiritual happiness.To become humble in front of the creator. To connect with the divine.To become honest and humble. And that proves even the greatest scientific geniuses.Like Kopernikus, Einstein, Tesla, Leonardo Da Vinci, Newton…Religions have nothing to do with science!We cannot let the Religions dictate what is scientifically true or wrong!Even so, science is 97% wrong!Only 3% remain true for longer than 5 years! People give up their faith in God and prefer science to be true!Life is not logical. We live in chaos that has some order! (Google: Images, Order in Chaos, Mandelbrot, fractal geometry). There are indefinite more irrational numbers than rational numbers.Why do even the greatest geniuses submit that there is a force, power that is beyond themselves? It is absolute nonsense that science should prove God's existence…Science is looking for trueness and is mainly always wrong … But through science, we discover and develop so much more opportunities, that science makes sense!I have learned as an engineer to create a model from/for the reality that should be as simple as possible.And that model is good enough if this model is true for only one aspect, even though there exist millions of aspects.We have learned:What we can watch, that we can control!What we cannot watch in every aspect, we never can control…!What can we watch in every aspect?Nearly nothing, compare to the things that exist…So, we never can prove that God is true! My Video: Science and God https://youtu.be/ujvD-ihBYVUMy Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast2/Science-and-God.mp3

In this week's episode, me and Tony discuss the Neil Tyson appearance on Rogan as well as the new leaked video showing the UFO splashing.  After that we take a look at the lab leak theory and in particular the illustrious Senator from California, John Kennedy  We discuss the Chicago PD decision to no longer pursue suspects on the run for minor traffic violations, and the police shooting that sparked this change.  A thirteen year old child was shot by police after a foot chase.  Were these reforms enough to silence critics? Next, we talk about the Intactivism movement.  This is a growing movement that wants to end involuntary child circumcision.  The arguments are persuasive, but I WILL find a way to dig in my heals and maintain my position. We briefly touch on woke culture, and sort of leave the majority of the discussion for a later date.  I want to explore more facets of it prior to taking a definitive position on the term overall.   These are only a few of the things we discuss this week, and I know you will enjoy the show.   Please subscribe to the YouTube channel, and follow us on Twitch.  We have bonus content on our Patreon page.  Feel free to follow us there and support the growth of the show. Thank you and enjoy the rest of your week. Check out our website - https://explodingstarpodcast.wordpress.com/

It's a gorgeous day here as we get close to the end of 2020, everyone's assuming that 2021 is just going to be that much. Like we're going to flip a switch and all of a sudden everything's gonna be better.  And, uh, you know what, I'm too tired. I'm too tired to argue with that. So I'm going to say, yeah, sure. That sounds great. We are talking to someone who will tell us all about how crazy that idea is because this woman is involved with science. Her name is Raven Baxter, Dr. Raven Baxter, otherwise known as Raven, the science Maven. which I love.  Okay. She's an award-winning and internationally acclaimed science communicator and molecular biologist. All right. So right here, I can tell you this woman's four times as smart as me, which is great. She works to progress the state of Science, Education and Culture by creating spaces that are inclusive, educational and real.  I love that so much, I'm sitting here staring at my seven year old daughter, and I'm thankful that people like Raven exist.  Raven is an entertainer, she's a content creator, she's known for her unique style of combining science and music, that teaches and empowers those in STEM... and beyond. Raven speaks to that innovation in science education and social change in STEM, she founded Science Haven. Science Haven has this STEMbassy, I love that name, which is a live web series that connects to the public within science and technology and the connection with science, technology professionals, and Black In Science Communication, a group that works to build relationships in the Science community, equipping others with the knowledge and resources necessary to share science with the world in their own flavor. She was one of Fortune Magazine's “40 under 40”, this year. She has a job,  she has a project in progress called Nerdy Jobs with Raven the Science Maven, which I think is awesome. She's had a TEDx talk,  she's on the STEMbassy season finale, she’s all over the internet…. welcome Dr. - welcome Raven. It is great to have you.  Hi, thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited to be here. I hope you're doing well.  I always know that my introductions have gone too long when the person like falls asleep and has to come back and say, Oh yeah, Hey, but no, it was a great into,  wonderful to have you. I'm thrilled that you're, that you're a part of this.  (2:47) Um, you're doing some amazing, amazing things first and foremost. Tell us about your background. Tell us about how, how, how Science sort of picked you, as it were.  Yeah, I mean, I think, you know, a lot of people listening to this podcast can relate. But potentially to having ADHD and like being, perhaps being a child and being into everything and wanting to explore everything.  And, um, I feel like with ADHD that was amplified in that, you know, I really felt like I was unstoppable. If I wanted to learn about the clouds I was in the library, like trying to get my hands on every single cloud book and. You know, when I got to the point where I felt like I knew everything about that, then I wanted to learn about space and I went to space camp, and I found that I was afraid of heights..  Yeah, I did it. Have you ever been?? Hey you know what's funny. I never went as a kid. As an adult. I got invited to Media Space Camp, and so I spent three days doing the same thing that they did in space camp and it was incredible.  That's awesome. So you know how cool it is?  Oh yeah Just imagine being a little kid.  Oh, I can't even imagine, plus I went . I saw the movie, like the second it came out. Right. I was all about Jinx the robot. I wanted that robot, jinx. I was like Jinx and Max friends forever. I totally wanted that robot.  Yeah, and I also, well, I guess not to be a downer, but I found out I was afraid of heights at space camp. So, you know, my dream of being an astronaut totally wiped down the dream, but I luckily had already been exposed to in part due to space camp, all of the different types of science careers you can have.  So, you know, I just dove into everything and eventually ended up into molecular biology. And that's where I’m focusing now,  and, um, kind of parlayed into science education after having a career as a corporate scientist.  Amazing amazing. Where'd you go to college?  I went to SUNY, well, I went to a couple, a couple different colleges actually.Um, I started at SUNY college of environmental science and forestry also known as SUNY ESF. Um, and then I went to community college for a little while, and then I transferred to, um, Buffalo State College where I graduated with my bachelor's and eventually my master's. And now, um, I'll be finishing my doctorate in May at a university at Buffalo.  Very cool. (5:17)  So tell me a bit, so, you know, science, when you were, when you got ADHD, what was that? When did that? Okay, well, first of all, when did you get diagnosed? I was diagnosed when I was about six or seven.  Oh wow really?  OK, and did, get that at that age… it  probably, it probably didn't really change much for you. You just knew, you know, here's, what's up, like it wasn't like you're diagnosed in your thirties or anything like that.  Right? No. Well,  so when I was diagnosed, um, ADHD medications were very new on the market, right?  And so it was really up to my Mother to say, “OK, she has this okay, she has this diagnosis, what do we do now? Um, being that the medications were so new, she really didn't feel comfortable putting me on anything, so, um, I essentially just… freestyled it, sorry, my dog is sneezing in the background. are you okay?  Um, yeah, so she just kind of freestyled it with me and just, let me, let me be me. That's awesome. You know, it's interesting. Um, when I was, when I was growing up, it didn't exist. Right? It was the sit down and interrupt the class disease and, um, you know.  Oh yeah, that was me.  So here’s the interesting thing,,,,the, the, the, the stuff that you liked, right? The, the, you know, like science, whatever kind of subjects you liked, I'm sure you were great at.  Oh yeah. I was, I was naturally gifted at pretty much everything that I did, and I think that's. That's probably what frustrated my teachers the most is that I couldn't sit down and do my work. I'd get up. I'd be spinning around during class while the teacher's teaching. And while literally everyone else is seated, I just be up like twirling, twirling around like a tornado.Um, but my work would be done, right? Like acing  everything. So. I mean, I was, I was also bored, but I also was hyperactive, but it was also very smart and getting my work done. So teachers really didn't know what to do cause they couldn't really justify putting me in time out because I wasn't white, like misbehaving, you know? Yeah. So, but they were putting me in time out. Um, that's the, my mom stepped in after that.  It's good to have parents that’ll have your back. That must've been tough. You know, here you are getting all this stuff done and it's just that you were too fast for them.  Yeah. Yeah, I didn't, um, I remember them putting me in, um, a gifted and talented program, uh, at the same time that they put me in a special education program, which is a little confusing for me.Um, because I was going to like three different classrooms where most of my friends weren't moving around. Like they just stayed in the same classroom. And, um, the, in the gifted and talented program, I, I was smart enough to do the work, but those kids were really self-disciplined. Um, they could sit down and do the work, and I felt very out of place because I couldn't, you know, it was a smaller group of kids and I realized I was the only one, like, couldn't stop moving around. Um, but I, I felt home in the special ed classroom. I really did.  Yep. I believe it. And you know, what's interesting is that, is that you go, you know, I remember, I never, my grades were… in  New York City, there was something called a resource room where you could get extra time and to do all these things, but my grades were too good. I, you know, I had great English skills and my math wasn't great, but my English and science, all that was enough that you're like, oh, he doesn't need that, but he won't shut up.  Right.  So you couldn't, you couldn't really win when you, (8:45) so when you decided to pursue science as a, as a career, you know, how was that, how did that sort of line u…. uh, how did that counter with your ADD/ADHD with the premise that, you know, you have to focus, right? You're looking at things that, you know, I say, what is that great, uh, that great quote, when, uh, when, uh, you know, when, when a nuclear physicist screws up the world explodes, one of geologists goes up, rock breaks and that's about it, you know, but you, you're, you're sitting there with like, you know, you're doing stuff that matters and you're doing stuff where you have to be completely on point, right?  You can't just sort of round up. In science. Exactly. What, tell us, tell us how you are… um, how do you make that work? How do you, how do you keep that focus? How do you get that sort of, uh, immediacy that's needed?  That's a very good question, and that's something that I honestly struggled to answer myself.  Um, because as a student, um, being a scientist as a student, and when you're learning the science, there's really not a lot of pressure. Like you're, like what you were saying, you know, you’re just enjoying the subject, you're mastering the subject. But when you're working as a corporate scientist, the script is completely flipped.  You know, when you're working in drug discovery, where I was working, um, it was very difficult, to work in that high pressure situation, um, where you know that every number matters, right?  There's barely any room for error because you're working on a million dollar project and every test tube that you waste is $10,000 down the drain, literally.  And you're also making things that will potentially go into somebody's body down the line. And so you really want to make sure your work is the best it can be, which is possible with ADHD. But, um, I personally don't feel like professional environments, such as like, a corporate scientific environment... I don't think that they've quite come up with the resources needed to make that a comfortable working environment for somebody like you or me.  Um, I do think that like there needs to be special accommodations just like there isn't school for people with, um, you know, learning disabilities and attention disorders. I think I would have had a much more comfortable working experience had that been in place.  (11:05) Tell us about what you do, specifically…. right?  So give us like your top three. So you have a lot of kids who listen to this podcast and they're, you know, if any of them wanna go into science and they're afraid, well, I don't have the, the capacity to focus. Tell us what you do. Cause it's, it's obviously you've proved that it's possible.    Yeah. Um, I think that for me, having ADHD is definitely about recognizing where your superpowers work the best, right?  Um, and asking for help when you need it. So, for me personally, I feel like, um, my excitement and my love for science really is best used when I’m teaching about science and sharing that with other people. Um, and so I'm able to take everything that I learned about as a student and share it with people that want to learn about science who are around me.  Um, and that's what I do now. As a science communicator, I use music, I use videos, I use music videos and, uh, I communicate science through all of those things to help people learn about science and teach people about new things.  I've never heard that  term science communicator, I love that. And what I'm going to love, is that you've managed to take what you love, combine it with what you do, and here we are.   Right? Yeah. I love it too. Um, there, I'm sure you've heard of Bill Nye, The Science Guy, Neil Tyson… those are all science communicators. I just don't think people know what to call them.  Yeah. I'd never heard the term. That's so cool. (12:40) Tell us about, um, so. What do you say to kids who don't believe that, you know, oh, they've been told by the teachers and you know, mistakenly that yeah, you're ADHD. You're not gonna, you know, science isn't for you. I mean, I, I, I, had a teacher that actually said I should pursue accounting, right?  Oh my gosh. I think that science is perfect for people with ADHD. And the reason is because there's so many questions to answer. And if you're anything like me, you want to bounce from question to question to question.I mean, one day I'm thinking about. Oh my gosh, how did the universe start? Whoa. Now I'm looking into quantum physics and yeah, quantum physics...documentaries, and trying to learn about the big bang theory and different, different theories that exist that, um, that are talking about where the universe came from or where did life come from on planet earth, right?  All of those different theories. And it's really exciting. There's, there's really no one way to love and enjoy science. And there's so many different questions to answer, that it's perfect for somebody with ADHD, because there's something new all the time to focus on and learn about. I love that. I love that. So the premise that you'll never get bored? You'll never get bored. I can almost promise you that.  (13:54) So, what do you say to, uh, where, where should the kid go next? You know, you're going to get a seventh grader or something that says, Hey, I want to do more of this.  Ah, gosh, that's a really good question.I think that what's worked for me when I was a young kid is just not getting too worked up about following a particular path. Like really just follow your natural instincts and pay attention to what's interesting to you and just get lost in it. Right? Like I, some of the, I would've never become, I would have never become a molecular biologist if I didn' decide that I could learn anything I wanted to learn and do whatever I wanted to do to learn that. So like going on Wikipedia, and clicking on Wikipedia to different articles and just getting lost in the articles, because everything's linked to each other on the website, um, that's one way to do it or watching documentaries. Um, going on, you know, asking your parents to go on to Netflix and picking up documentaries,  that’s appropriate for you to watch, to learn more, asking your teachers interesting questions, because they might be able to teach you something new. Um, those are different ways to get into it.  Yup. I love that. Very, very cool. (15:10) Tell us what you're doing now... So now I am working full time as a science communicator while finishing my doctoral research.  Um, and I'm hoping to start a couple of new series with a major network next year. Um, all of this is pretty much under wraps, which is why I'm being a little vague, but, um, it's a network that everybody loves and enjoys. That, um, we're working on two shows together and both of those shows are science shows.  One of those shows is focused on biology and learning everything there is to know about biology. And, um, the other show is me exploring different jobs in science, technology engineering, and that the medics.  All right. Very cool. So stay in. So it's good that you're not busy or anything like that.  Yeah. Yeah. Right. Well, this has been very, very cool. (16:09) Tell, tell people how that they can find you, cause I have a feeling that you get a ton of followers and a ton of questions off this interview. How can people find you?  You can find me um anywhere on the internet, if you Google  “Raven, the Science Maven.” I'm on Twitter @Ravenscimaven, and everywhere else at “Raven the Science Maven,” except for TikTok, where I am @Science Maven.  I love it. I love it. Raven Baxter, Raven the Science Maven, thank you so much for taking the time to come on the podcast. This was a lot of fun and I think you're going to give a lot of kids a lot of hope because let me tell you someone who has a seven year old daughter, who is currently playing with her brand new rescue puppy that we got. Um, it's pretty awesome to watch her get excited about things. We've been doing science experiments, we've grown a crystal. Um, what else have we done? Done lot of fun stuff and, and it's, it's fun to watch her eyes light up when we do it. So, you know, go--- go science!  I'm always, it's funny. I haven't, I haven't said this yet, but I always want to quote the line every time she does something gets excited about, I want to teach her to say the line from um, um, from Breaking Bad where they cook their first batch of meth and is “science bitch,” but don’t wanna do it.  Raven, thank you so much for taking the time, we will definitely have you back at some point in 2021, stay safe, stay healthy, and we'll talk with you soon. Guys, you've been listening to Faster than Normal. We love it when you're here, we love it that you're here. We love it that our numbers keep going up and the more people are learning that  ADHD is a gift, not a curse.  Please stay in touch with us, shoot us an email, let us know who you want to hear. Raven came to us… uh, from a user, from a listener who said, “Hey, you should have this person on your podcast.”  And we did. That's how it works. It's really simple, so if you want more, give us some names, we will make more easily.  Otherwise leave us a review, stay safe, stay healthy, wear a mask, we will see you guys next week.

Opening and closing themes were performed by Steven Byrom and the opening introduction was recorded by Bernie Wagenblast. Thank you so much for listening. We'll see you next week. 

Imagine you were the architect of a virtual simulation as complicated as our universe, what would you create? Star Trek, The Matrix, Ready Player One...lots and lots of science fiction plays with the notion that our reality might actually be a glorified video game. From Elon Musk to Neil Tyson, many popular minds are pretty sure there's a non-zero chance we are living on The Holodeck. So what's the argument for this? MIght we be able to mathematically prove we are living in a simulation? Is there any way to see the "glitches in the matrix" to glimpse the fabric of our reality? Can we ask you for a favor? Please rate and subscribe on itunes, the 5 star kind of course! It really helps :) We will forever be in your debt, thank you.
