Podcast appearances and mentions of noble laureate

Dr Gerald Schroeder was my guest on today's show. Gerald is most famous for his books in which he has explored the areas in which science and religion meet. Where God meets physics. In this show we explore the science of the big bang and the words of Genesis, objective morality, and much more. Gerald Schroeder is a scientist with over thirty years of experience in research and teaching. He earned his Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorate degrees all at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, followed by five years on the staff of the MIT physics department prior to moving to Israel, where he joined the Weizmann Institute of Science and then the Volcani Research Institute, while also having a laboratory at The Hebrew University. His Doctorate is in two fields: Earth sciences and physics. His book, God According to God, A scientist proves we've been wrong about God all along, was published in May 2009 with HarperOne and has enthusiastic endorsements by leading theologians, both Jewish and Christian, and a Noble Laureate scientist. http://geraldschroeder.com/  Believe in God in 5 Minutes (Scientific Proof) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQVm8RokoBA  Genesis and the Big Bang Theory: The Discovery Of Harmony Between Modern Science And The Bible - https://amzn.to/3PcmjzW  The Science of God: The Convergence of Scientific and Biblical Wisdom - https://amzn.to/3PvAFeD  God According to God: A Physicist Proves We've Been Wrong About God All Along - https://amzn.to/3yHOqQl  You can listen to the show on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5AYWZh12d92D4PDASG4McB?si=5835f2cf172d47cd&nd=1  Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/chatter/id1273192590  Google Podcasts - https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5wb2RpYW50LmNvL2NoYXR0ZXIvcnNzLnhtbA  And all major podcast platforms.  Watch Us On Odysee.com - https://odysee.com/$/invite/@TheJist:4   Sign up and watch videos to earn crypto-currency!  Buy Brexit: The Establishment Civil War - https://amzn.to/39XXVjq  Mailing List - https://www.getrevue.co/profile/thejist  Twitter - https://twitter.com/Give_Me_TheJist  Website - https://thejist.co.uk/  Music from Just Jim – https://soundcloud.com/justjim 

Gerald Schroeder is a scientist with over thirty years of experience in research and teaching. He earned his Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctorate degrees all at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with his doctorate thesis being under the supervision of physics professor Robley D. Evans. This was followed by five years on the staff of the MIT physics department prior to moving to Israel, where he joined the Weizmann Institute of Science and then the Volcani Research Institute, while also having a laboratory at The Hebrew University. His Doctorate is in two fields: Earth sciences and physics. Schroeder's formal theological training in biblical, talmudic and kabalistic interpretation includes fifteen years of study under the late Rabbi Herman Pollack, Rabbi Chaim Brovender and Rabbi Noah Weinberg, of blessed memory. The scientific career that Schroeder chose has given him varied and often unusual experiences. In his work with nuclear disarmament, he has been present at the detonation of a long series of nuclear weapons [atomic bombs]. Work in control of radioactivity has put him hundreds of meters below ground in U.S. and foreign uranium mines. Within this research, he invented and had patented the first real time monitor for airborne alpha beta gamma emitters. The government of the People's Republic of China, during the decade before it established direct contacts with Israel, was willing to overlook his Jerusalem address and had him as a frequent advisor. He also has consulted for agencies of the governments of Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Canada, USA. Invitations for him to lecture have come from around the world. He has over 60 publications in the world's leading scientific journals on topics ranging from the radon atmosphere of the moon (in Science) to the metabolism of mother's milk (in Nutrition Reports International). The results of Schroeder's work have been reported in Time, Newsweek, Scientific American and in newspapers as far apart as Boston and Adelaide. His formal training in chemistry, physics and the Earth and planetary sciences provides the basis for the broad scientific perspective he brings to his books and lectures. For the past twenty-five years, Dr. Schroeder has also pursued a study of ancient biblical interpretation. An ability to handle the biblical material in the original languages allows him to tap the subtle depths contained in the original texts. These nuances are often missed when working with translations. The uniqueness and success of Schroeder's approach integrating biblical and scientific knowledge is demonstrated by the success of his first book, Genesis and the Big Bang (published by Bantam Doubleday), and the wide acclaim for his second book The Science of God (published by The Free Press of Simon & Schuster and Broadway Books of Bantam Doubleday) which was on the Barnes & Noble list of non-fiction best sellers and was Amazon.com's best selling book in the field of physics/cosmology for all of 1998. This was followed by The Hidden Face of God, discovering the unity that binds all existence (published by The Free Press of Simon & Schuster). His book, God According to God, A scientist proves we've been wrong about God all along, was published in May 2009 with HarperOne and has enthusiastic endorsements by leading theologians, both Jewish and Christian, and a Noble Laureate scientist. His books appear in 10 languages. Gerald Schroeder lives in Jerusalem with his wife (the author, Barbara Sofer). They've had five children with a changing number of grandchildren. He moved to Israel from the USA in 1971. In addition to his current work in radiation control, he teaches at Aish HaTorah College of Jewish Studies, writes and lectures on the extraordinary confluence of modern science and ancient biblical commentary.

Book- Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife, Believe in God in 5 Minutes (Scientific Proof) and Science Continues to Reveal God. ACU Sunday Series.  Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the AfterlifeBelieve in God in 5 Minutes (Scientific Proof)Science Continues to Reveal God Dennis Prager talks to the author of ‘Proof of Heaven: A Neurosurgeon's Journey into the Afterlife’ by Eben AlexanderThe #1 New York Times bestselling account of a neurosurgeon's own near-death experience—for readers of 7 Lessons from Heaven.Thousands of people have had near-death experiences, but scientists have argued that they are impossible. Dr. Eben Alexander was one of those scientists. A highly trained neurosurgeon, Alexander knew that NDEs feel real, but are simply fantasies produced by brains under extreme stress.Then, Dr. Alexander’s own brain was attacked by a rare illness. The part of the brain that controls thought and emotion—and in essence makes us human—shut down completely. For seven days he lay in a coma. Then, as his doctors considered stopping treatment, Alexander’s eyes popped open. He had come back.Alexander’s recovery is a medical miracle. But the real miracle of his story lies elsewhere. While his body lay in coma, Alexander journeyed beyond this world and encountered an angelic being who guided him into the deepest realms of super-physical existence. There he met, and spoke with, the Divine source of the universe itself.Alexander’s story is not a fantasy. Before he underwent his journey, he could not reconcile his knowledge of neuroscience with any belief in heaven, God, or the soul. Today Alexander is a doctor who believes that true health can be achieved only when we realize that God and the soul are real and that death is not the end of personal existence but only a transition.This story would be remarkable no matter who it happened to. That it happened to Dr. Alexander makes it revolutionary. No scientist or person of faith will be able to ignore it. Reading it will change your life.  Believe in God in 5 Minutes (Scientific Proof)https://youtu.be/eQVm8RokoBA Sinai SpeakWatch PART 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oml3S...

It's a must-read that every person, religious and non-religious, should buy and peruse every night before bed. It'll make you think harder, pray more ardently, and understand your civilization better." — Ben Shapiro, host of "The Ben Shapiro Show""Dennis Prager’s commentary on Exodus will rank among the greatest modern Torah commentaries. That is how important I think it is. And I am clearly not alone... It might well be on its way to becoming the most widely read Torah commentary of our time—and by non-Jews as well as by Jews." — Rabbi Joseph Telushkin, bestselling author of Jewish LiteracyWhy do so many people think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is outdated? Why do our friends and neighbors – and sometimes we ourselves – dismiss the Bible as irrelevant, irrational, immoral, or all of these things? This explanation of the Book of Exodus, the second book of the Bible, will demonstrate that the Bible is not only powerfully relevant to today’s issues, but completely consistent with rational thought.Do you think the Bible permitted the trans-Atlantic slave trade? You won’t after reading this book.Do you struggle to love your parents? If you do, you need this book.Do you doubt the existence of God because belief in God is “irrational?” This book will give you reason after reason to rethink your doubts.The title of this commentary is, “The Rational Bible” because its approach is entirely reason-based. The reader is never asked to accept anything on faith alone. As Prager says, “If something I write does not make rational sense, I have not done my job.”The Rational Bible is the fruit of Dennis Prager’s forty years of teaching the Bible to people of every faith, and no faith. On virtually every page, you will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world and to your life.His goal: to change your mind – and then change your life. Highly Recommended by ACU.Purchase his book at-https://www.amazon.com/Rational-Bible-Exodus-Dennis-Prager/dp/1621577724  The Rational Bible: Genesis by Dennis Prager USA Today bestsellerPublishers Weekly bestsellerWall Street Journal bestsellerMany people today think the Bible, the most influential book in world history, is not only outdated but irrelevant, irrational, and even immoral.This explanation of the Book of Genesis, the first book of the Bible, demonstrates clearly and powerfully that the opposite is true.

In Dennis Prager's words, “If something I write is not rational, I have not done my job.” The Rational Bible is the fruit of Dennis Prager's forty years of teaching the Bible—whose Hebrew grammar and vocabulary he has mastered—to people of every faith and no faith at all. On virtually every page, you will discover how the text relates to the contemporary world in general and to you personally. His goal: to change your mind—and, as a result, to change your life.   Highly Recommended by ACU.

The third episode featuring fellow travelers who first recorded in the 1950s and who are still with us (the previous one is from 5/14/2020). This episode features Harry Belafonte and Mighty Sparrow. Over sixty years is a long time to have a recording career, and these are two of the last ones standing. This week on "Who Did It Better?" we ask you to choose between Harry Belafonte's and Bob Dylan's versions of "Shenandoah." Go to our Twitter page @RainTrains and vote for who did it better!

Some men see things as they are, and ask why. I dream of things that never were, and ask why not. Robert Kennedy said that.  So too did George Bernard Shaw, essentially. But unless you're a Kennedy or a Noble Laureate, it might not be the most practical approach to take. If you can't give a better answer to the question of Why...then maybe you shouldn't be doing what you're doing. Otherwise, it's all about 'Spray & Pray'. #why #whynot #justification #reasons

Jeffrey Smith is back talking GMOs! Join us as we dive even deeper into the murky world of GMOs and RoundUp. Jeffrey helps bust some myths and explains how we got to where we are now. You want to understand what Roundup (Glyphosate) does to your body so tune in and let Jeffrey explain in layman’s terms.   * * * About Jeffrey Smith Jeffrey is the founding executive director of the Institute for Responsible Technology and the leading consumer advocate promoting healthier non-GMO choices. He was named the 2017 Person of the Year by Masters of Health Magazine for more than two decades or work in 45 countries exposing how biotech companies mislead policymakers and the public and put the health of society at risk. In 2018, he and Amy Hart released Secret Ingredients, a documentary that highlights numerous individuals and families that healed from serious conditions after switching to an organic diet. His feature-length documentary, Genetic Roulette: The Gamble of Our Lives was awarded the 2012 Movie of the Year, and inspired millions worldwide to choose healthier non-GMO foods. His books include Seeds of Deception, it is the world's bestseller on GMOs, and Genetic Roulette: The Documented Health Risks of Genetically Engineered Foods. He has counseled government leaders and healthcare practitioners from every continent and has been quoted by thousands of news outlets, including The New York Times, the Washington Post, and Time Magazine. He appears on influential radio and television programs, including the BBC, NPR, Fox News, Democracy Now, The Doctors, and the Dr. Oz Show.    Secret Ingredients - SecretIngredientsMovie.com “The most effective and efficient tool at convincing people that they absolutely have to eat organic immediately”, Jeffrey Smith In the film, all these people get better from different diseases and disorders just after switching to organic food. then they realize the role of the food and the secret ingredients in the food   GMOs That Are Sprayed With Roundup Soy Corn Cotton (for cottonseed oil) Canola Sugar Beets Alfalfa Zucchini Yellow Squash Papaya - from China & Hawaii Potatoes and Apples (engineered not to go brown) Can change expression in our bodies - very dangerous In fact, the person who made the potato, the scientist who first worked at Monsanto and then later at J.R.

He realized after he retired that it was a travesty and could be causing massive damage to health.   Other Mom-GMO Crops That Are Regularly Sprayed With Roundup Grains Beans Sunflowers Kiwi Citrus Potatoes Sweet Potatoes Vineyards ...and more!   What Roundup (Glyphosate) Does To Your Body It's primary poison is called glyphosate. Glyphosate was patented as a chelator. It chelates with all sorts of minerals making them unavailable, and these are the minerals we want to have available. . The reason it was patented, it was patented as a descaler to clean the mineral deposits inside industrial boilers and pipes. So it was a cleaning chemical. It kills the beneficial bacteria in the soil and also in our guts, but not the nasty pathogens. It blocks the shikimate pathway which is a seven-step metabolic route used by cells to function. The shikimate pathway is used by gut bacteria to produce the precursors to; serotonin, melatonin, dopamine. Causes a leaky gut. “When you take human cells in a Petri dish that are bound tightly together with tight junctions, and you add Roundup in that Petri dish, they separate. So it loses the tight junctions. If that happens inside our gut, that's leaky gut.” Linked to birth defects. Linked to increased cancer numbers.   An Activist’s Timeline IRT started talking about the health dangers early on, 1996. Jeffrey published Seeds of Deception in 2003. It became a world best seller. He traveled all over the world with that book. People started changing the way they're talking about GMOs. Starting around 2010, I found that people who had been reading my books and reading my articles which were not lightweight. They were detailed and long as to ensure understanding of all the issues we faced with GMOs and glyphosate. In 2010, IRT created the Tipping Point Network of groups. In 2010 the Non-GMO Project came up. Started to verify products. There was a flood of people trying to get their products, Non-GMO Project verified so that they would get a boost in sales. So there was an 18-month waiting list for getting their verification. In 2012, he released the movie Genetic Roulette, and also there was a ballot initiative in California for labeling. Between the two of them, the number of people that were concerned about the health dangers in GMOs went from 51% in 2012 to 61% in 2013. Whole Foods, in 2013, said at the Natural Foods Expo West, "We're going to require products to be either organic, certified, or Non-GMO Project verified by 2018, or they will be considered GMOs." They also mentioned that when a product becomes non-GMO verified, there's an increase in sales at 15 to 30%. That was the tipping point for the natural products industry. At the beginning of 2014, other products started to do the same, who are not in the natural products industry, first was Cheerios, and then Grape-Nuts. It started in 2014 in the mainstream, and now it's 46% of Americans say they're seeking non-GMO food. All the major food companies are putting more and more effort into replacing the GM ingredients due to consumer demand. Then comes along 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer, determines that glyphosate is a class two A carcinogen. In particularly for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Now, the lawyers are involved because of the non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and they started to defend and take on cases of people that had non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that were using Roundup, or the survivors. And winning.     Myths Busted   GMOs are the same as Crossbreeding The FDA scientists have said GMOs are different, lead to different risks, compared to natural breeding. George Wald, the Noble Laureate, said the same thing. Belinda Martineau, who did the first GMO tomato. It's no longer on the market. She says, "Of course it's not an extension of natural breeding. It's different. It leads to different risks. It creates massive collateral damage that's not seen in nature. Those mutations can be dangerous. A single point mutation can kill someone, and there can be hundreds or thousands of them when you do these transformations with genetic engineering."   GMOs Increase Average Yield & Help Feed the World Over 400 scientists contributed to a document for the United Nations.

Dr. Abdus Salam is Pakistan’s first Noble laureate, a scientist of global repute. But he was ostracised and denounced as a heretic in his homeland. This tragic story forms the backdrop of Pureland, a beautiful allegorical book by the New York-based author Zarrar Said. In this podcast Said talks about belief, fundamentalism and simplifying the idea of the divine.

They’re at the grocery checkout. They kill cancer cells. They’re in pointers that drive cats crazy and in the fiber networks that connect us to the internet. Lasers are so ubiquitous it’s hard to imagine a world without them. So you’d think we would know who the inventor was, right? Turns out it’s not so easy. There’s the guy who wrote down the initial idea, two other guys who got a patent for it, and then another guy who actually built the first laser. We spoke to Nick Taylor, author of Laser: The Inventor, the Noble Laureate, and the Thirty-Year Patent War about this story and what it tells us about how inventions happen.
