There is a huge difference between computers and the human brain. While the computer transmits information using electricity, the brain communicates its information using powerful chemicals. Let's say that you accidentally touch a hot pan on the stove. In less than two tenths of a second, millions of reactions take place while your brain performs a huge number of operations. As a result, you pull your hand away from the hot pan—very quickly!Depending on the need, your brain uses many different chemicals for communication within itself and with the nerves that connect your brain to the rest of your body. Over 50 such chemicals have so far been identified. And it has been learned that many of these chemicals work in combination with each other so that over 800 different messages are possible.Nor does the brain have set paths for messages, like a computer. In fact, it has been compared to a chemical soup rather than the circuits of a computer. In addition, the information paths in your brain change based on experience. If we can use computer language for a moment, the brain writes its own programs, doing many complicated tasks of which you and I are never aware.We know that the computer is the product of careful design, but to argue that the much more complex human brain is an accident of nature makes very little sense!Psalms 119:100“I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.”Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus Christ; More than any other thing which science can study, the human brain speaks most clearly of creation. Cause those who see this to desire to know more about You, and use me to help them find out about the saving gospel. Amen.REF.: Hammer, Signe. How does it work? Science Digest.

On previous Creation Moments, we have talked about some of the wonderful designs that help make the giraffe possible. The giraffe has a strong heart to pump blood all the way up to its head and strong arteries to withstand the high blood pressure needed to carry the blood to its head. We have also talked about the giraffe's so-called "wonder net," which is a network of blood vessels that helps to stabilize the blood pressure in the giraffe's head even when it raises and lowers its head.But modern science continues to uncover engineering wonders that enable the giraffe to keep blood flowing evenly to its brain and keep blood from pooling in its legs. Researchers have discovered that giraffes, unlike human beings, have a valve in the jugular vein. But these valves work in the wrong direction to help blood stay in the head. Instead, they close when a giraffe lowers its head, preventing used blood from backing up into the brain.And how does a giraffe, which stays on its feet all day, keep blood from pooling in its legs? Scientists have found that the skin on a giraffe's legs is very tight fitting. When a giraffe walks, its muscle movement within that tight skin actually helps pump used blood out of the legs.If life owed its existence to chance and genetic mistakes, we wouldn't have any giraffes today. But what a wonder of God's design these stately creatures are!Job 39:19"'Have you given the horse strength? Have you clothed his neck with thunder?'"Prayer: Dear Lord, there is nothing too hard for You. Help me to remember the example of the giraffe when life seems filled with too many difficult details. May I be reminded to bring all things to You, for You have promised to hear me. Amen.REF.: Pedley, T.J. How giraffes prevent oedema. Nature.

Did you ever wonder why you don't rust? Before you laugh, remember—iron is not only a major part of your blood, it is used to attract the oxygen that is carried by your blood to the rest of your body. And you know what happens when oxygen meets the iron in your car or a tool that is left outside overnight—rust! So, why don't we rust?Part of the reason is that the molecular structure of hemoglobin is very cleverly designed so that the iron in your hemoglobin attracts oxygen and holds it but, at the same time, is prevented from rusting. There are many designs that hemoglobin could have—but the actual structure prevents rust from forming. But 200 billion of your red blood cells die every day. The iron in those cells is no longer prevented by the hemoglobin from forming rust. So your body collects iron from these cells and stores it in tiny protective containers made up of the protein ferritin, where it is prevented from combining with oxygen and turning into rust.Actually, these rust-proofing systems in the body can go wrong because of a rare genetic defect called bronze anemia. People suffering from this defect actually do develop rust-like deposits in their bodies, and sometimes the rust actually discolors their skin.The careful planning and intricately related systems that make life possible speak loudly of a Creator. No wonder discoveries in the biological sciences have caused some scientists to defect from evolution and see creation as the better explanation.Acts 7:49-50"'Heaven is My throne, and earth is My footstool. What house will you build for Me?' says the Lord, or what is the place of My rest? Has My hand not made all these things?'"Prayer: Dear Lord, everything You have made is excellent beyond compare and made with great understanding. I ask that You would help me to have wisdom from You for my life. Amen.REF.: Why don't we rust? Science Digest.

Salmos 104:25“He allí el grande y ancho mar, en donde se mueven seres innumerables, seres pequeños y grandes”.Si usted disfruta observar a los peces tropicales, El camarón mantis es una de las criaturas que usted no quisiera tener en su acuario. Aunque esta criatura está relacionada con el camarón común tiene una característica inusual y especializada.En su estado salvaje, si el camarón mantis encuentra un sabroso caracol, acciona su recargado antebrazo retráctil y destruye el caparazón. El antebrazo del camarón se mueve a través del agua a una velocidad de 80 kilómetros por hora. Tan rápido que causa cavitaciones, asimismo genera calor y un destello de luz mientras colapsan las burbujas. Y por supuesto, ¡el camarón mantis puede romper las paredes de vidrio de un acuario! Para hacer esto, el camarón debe generar doscientos mil watts de poder por una libra de músculo, algo que ningún otro músculo podría hacerlo. El camarón puede hacer esta tarea aparentemente imposible si almacena la energía generada por los músculos. Este camarón primero traba el brazo y luego contrae sus músculos. La energía almacenada de esta forma dañaría el brazo si no fuese por un diseño muy ingenioso de resorte. Este resorte en forma de montura puede acumular enormes cantidades de energía sin romperse al comprimirse. Cuando el camarón está listo para atacar, simplemente libera el resorte.El antebrazo del camarón mantis solo es una unidad que trabaja efectivamente cuando todas sus partes especializadas trabajan juntas. Es difícil imaginar como pudo haber evolucionado un mecanismo así.Oración: Padre, Te agradezco por todos los sabios diseños que Tú has puesto en Tu creación, especialmente Tu plan de salvación.

Many people mistakenly believe that dinosaurs prove evolution. After all, dinosaurs are strange creatures and seem to represent a very different world from the one we know today. But a recent discovery of the most ancient dinosaur challenges this.One of the oldest dinosaurs ever discovered was about six feet long and weighed about 300 pounds. Scientists had never before seen a complete skeleton of the creature they called Herrerasaurus. But being the most ancient dinosaur discovered at the time, perhaps the dinosaur from which all others evolved, evolutionary scientists expected it to be much less advanced than later dinosaurs. What they found was yet another well-designed creature.The meat-eating dinosaur had excellent teeth, like those of a shark; its jawbone had a double hinge so that it could easily hang onto its prey. These sophisticated features weren't expected in such an ancient dinosaur. This is yet another proof that all creatures were well designed from the beginning. Herrerasaurus is yet one more example of the impossibility of evolution.Dinosaurs, just like all other creatures, were created by God during the first six days the universe existed. This means that dinosaurs and humans once shared this earth in the recent past. All things were created in a perfect state, so there was no need for evolved improvements. The changes we see since creation are not due to evolution but due to the degenerating effects of sin.Romans 1:25"…who exchanged the truth of God for the lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen."Prayer: Dear Lord, teach me to seek my improvement not through created things but through You, the Author of all that is good and the conqueror of all that is evil through Your death on the cross of Calvary and Your Resurrection.

Ref.: P. Christoph Kreitmeir OFM, Klinikseelsorger und Autor Vom Sinn des Lebens Der Klinikseelsorger P. Christoph Kreitmeir über Viktor Frankls Logotherapie als Hilfe im Leben In diesem Jahr wäre Viktor Frankl 120 Jahre alt geworden. Am Sterbetag des Begründers der Logotherapie sprechen wir mit dem beliebten Seelsorger P. Christoph Kreitmeir OFM darüber, warum Frankls Frage nach dem Sinn des Lebens so entscheidend für die psychische Gesundheit ist. Frankl war überzeugt: „Wer ein Warum und ein Wofür in seinem Leben hat, der erträgt fast jedes Wie. Seinen therapeutischen Ansatz hatte er als Jude in der Hölle der KZs Theresienstadt und Auschwitz durchbuchstabiert. Wie die Sinnfrage auch unserem Leben Halt geben kann, darauf wird P. Christoph in der Lebenshilfe auch mit praktischen Ratschlägen und Beobachtungen aus seinem Alltag als Klinikseelsorger eingehen.

Ref.: Tobias Haberl, Autor und Journalist beim Magazin der Süddeutschen Zeitung Als Tobias Haberl sich vor zwei Jahren mit seinem Essay "Unter Heiden" im Süddeutsche Zeitung Magazin als gläubiger Katholik outete, ahnte er nicht, welche Flut an Reaktionen er mit seinem Bekenntnis entfesseln würde: An die 500 dankbare Zuschriften erreichten den Journalisten in Form von Emails, Briefen und Päckchen. Einladungen zu Interviews und Talks folgten. Den Reporterpreis gab es noch dazu. Haberl war ebenso überrascht wie seine Redaktion: Offensichtlich hatte er einen Nerv getroffen. In seinem gleichnamigen Buch hat Haberl nun nachgelegt und schildert ehrlich seinen persönlichen Weg zurück in die Kirche seiner Kindheit. Gleichzeitig ist "Unter Heiden" so etwas wie ein Aufschrei: Wie kann es sein, dass das reiche christliche Erbe in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung so vollständig unter den Missbrauchsskandalen begraben wurde? Warum scheint ausgerechnet die westliche Öffentlichkeit geradezu darauf versessen, die Wurzeln der eigenen kulturellen Tradition zu kappen? Und warum fordert man so forsch von einer 2000 Jahre alten Institution, sich an den Zeitgeist anzupassen, statt dass der Zeitgeist sich fragt, ob es vielleicht von einer so langlebigen Einrichtung wie der Kirche etwas zu lernen gäbe...?

The Ref is something of a Christmas outlier; its title does not suggest a holiday-themed topic, the poster artwork fails to spread any holiday cheer, and overall it's a strange culmination of ideas. However, it was also a Martin holiday tradition,so it made sense to finally tackle this Denis Leary-starring vehicle for our final film in 2025's Festivus Series.We're also drinking Modelo's Noche Especial lager for this festive occasion!Approximate timeline0:00-12:00 Intro12:00-20:00 Beer talk20:00-end The RefWe hope you enjoyed our Festivus Series this year!

Instead, we present 10 movies that are maybe not in your annual Christmas rotation but ought to be! Enjoy! Julia's picks: The Ref (1994) Carol (2015) The Man Who Came to Dinner (1941) A Christmas Tale (2008) The Shop Around the Corner (1940) John's picks: Rare Exports (2010) A Midwinter's Tale (1995) 8-Bit Christmas (2021) About A Boy (2002) Little Women (1994)

Send us a text In this episode, Jessica Stone joins the podcast. She brings along the movie Rare Exports. Marty and Clif give Jessica the movie The Ref to watch.This milestone episode gets it's start with Ted Demme's The Ref (1994). The trio breaks down Dennis Leary's breakout performance as a cat burglar forced into referee duty for a brutally unhappy family, discussing the film's sharp dialogue, performative holiday traditions, and why its mix of rage, therapy, and forced honesty still works decades later.The conversation then shifts north - way north - with Rare Exports (2010), a Finnish holiday horror film that re-imagines Santa Claus as something far older and far more dangerous. The group digs into what makes the film so effective, how it contrasts with The Ref, and why both movies ultimately tap into the same holiday anxieties in very different ways. It's funny, unhinged, thoughtful - and the perfect way to ring in 100 episodes of Talking Pondo. #TalkingPondo #FilmPodcast #MoviePodcast #FilmDiscussion #ChristmasMovies #HolidayMovies #DarkChristmas #CultFilms #TheRef1994 #RareExports #DennisLeary #FinnishHorror #Episode100 #FilmAnalysis #MovieTalk Support the showFind our films here: The Love Song of William H Shaw Revenge of Zoe Writing Fren-ZeeMaking Pondo on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087139659233X (formerly Twitter):@MakingPondoInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/makingpondo/Making Pondo on Letterboxd:Season Onehttps://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo/Season Twohttps://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo-season-2/Season Threehttps://letterboxd.com/marty_ketola/list/talking-pondo-season-3/ Theme Song "The Rain" by Russ PacePhotos by Geoffrey Notkin

Eine Bundestagswahl im Winter, die zweite Trump-Präsidentschaft, eine Kanzlerwahl erst im zweiten Anlauf: 2025 ging politisch gleich mal turbulent los. Und das war erst die erste Jahreshälfte. Es folgte Koalitionskrach über eine Richterinnenwahl, ein lauwarmer Friedensgipfel in Würzburg und am Ende ein Herbst mit Reförmchen. In der letzten PK-Folge des Jahres schauen wir zurück: Was war wirklich wichtig in diesem Jahr? Was bleibt? Wer fehlt?

"What is the matter with you? I thought mothers were sweet and nice and patient. I know loan sharks who are more forgiving than you. Your husband ain't dead, lady. He's hiding." We watched "The Ref" with our friend Darren Elms and if you're still looking for last minute gifts for us - Slipper Socks. Medium. We're so glad we got around to reviewing this true Christmas cult classic. If you're not quite sure why we decided on this one, the cast alone should reveal all. Judy Davis, Christine Baranski and Glynis Johns are the real queen divas of this film and, stay with us here, but 1994 Denis Leary can get it. Judy Davis is serving up her '90s mom realness with her spiky pixie cut and trademark brown lipstick and her performance is nothing short of perfection as the acid tongued Caroline. You absolutely love to hate Glynis Johns as the mother-in-law from Hell and MTMUG All Star Christine Baranski has some majorly quotable lines. Speaking of the legendary Ms. Baranski, we sneak in a Leading Ladies quiz commemorating Seven movies with Christine and it's a ton of fun. This underrated family dramedy is pretty hilarious and a nice little Christmas movie to add to your regular holiday re-watch rotation.  Thank you for listening, and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna

This week we tackle the holiday classic - THE REF! Denis Leary plays an unfortunate cat burglar, who is abandonded by his partner in the middle of a heist and is forced to take an irritating Connecticut couple (Kevin Spacey and Judy Davis) hostage. He soon finds that he got more than he bargained for when the couple's blackmailing son and despicable in-laws step into the picture. Before long they're driving him nuts with their petty bickering and family problems. The only way for him to survive is to be their referee and resolve their differences before he can be nabbed by the police.SUBSCRIBE TODAY!Visit thecultworthy.comVisit https://www.themoviewire.comVideo: https://www.youtube.com/@back2thebalcony

Ref.: Ursula Fehlner, seit 23 Jahren getrennt lebend Eine zerbrochene Ehe hinterlässt immer einen Riss im Leben. Besonders schwer ist eine Trennung jedoch für Menschen, die wirklich damit gerechnet hatten, mit dem Partner bis zum Tod zusammenzubleiben. Der Zerbruch lässt die Betroffenen mit einem Gefühl des Versagens und der Beschämung zurück. Bei gläubigen Christen kann sich auch die Frage stellen, warum Gott dieses Scheitern überhaupt zugelassen hat. Ursula Fehlner hat diese Erfahrung vor vielen Jahren gemacht und möchte heute anderen Betroffenen Mut machen: Gerade wenn man mit Gott durch das Schlachtfeld einer gescheiterten Ehe geht, dann kann nach und nach gerade aus diesen Trümmern neues Leben entstehen. In der Lebenshilfe erklärt sie auch, warum sie bewusst die Entscheidung getroffen, sich nicht mit einer neuen Partnerschaft über den Verlust hinwegzutrösten.

Plus we talk post-2000s Christmas episodes, including:• The Sopranos — Bobby as Santa, Paulie threatening him, a kid telling Santa “F*** you.” A holiday mood.• Aqua Teen Hunger Force — Meatwad's cursed t-shirt, “Horror Claus,” and Santa getting rebuilt with soccer-ball skin. Totally normal Christmas stuff. We also read your Patreon & Facebook picks, featuring everything from Die Hard debates to Bad Santa, Ernest Saves Christmas, Home Alone, The Ref, and more. ⭐️ TOPIC 2 — STRANGER THINGS (Final Season!) Everyone except Tim is watching and enjoying it.Everyone except Tim has opinions.Tim is busy hate-watching “Temu Stranger Things” (Welcome to Derry) instead. We break down the new season, what's working, what's not, and whether the finale sticks the landing.
