The ALICE collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider has found a way to literally knock protons out of lead atoms and turn them into gold atoms. Researchers explained that when atoms just miss each other, the electromagnetic field around the atoms can cause them to change into different elements. These changes don't last long, however, and produce very little gold. From 2015 to 2018, the scientists created 86 billion gold atoms, or rather less than a trillionth of a gram, though each atom only exists for a fraction of a second before breaking apart. Perhaps this explains why alchemical legends speak about how lead can only be transformed into gold when it is no longer needed or desired. Of course, alchemy is about far more than literal gold, but the CERN story confirms again that science and magic are inseparable at their core: astrology birthed astronomy, ritual magic birthed psychology, and alchemy birthed chemistry. If science is “knowing” by “observation,” then even mythology is an early form of science. The fact is, alchemy is much more than turning lead into gold; it is the mystery of life, the homunculus grown in a container, the earth egg and comet sperm of panspermia, and the brain child idea that produces invention. This should make us rethink the supernatural and occult. So should another study from the University of Calgary and the National Research Council of Canada. An experiment on mice and leaves has unveiled physical evidence of a biophoton phenomenon ceasing upon death, suggesting that all living things literally glow until expiration. Despite this fact, Science Alert says “It's hard not to associate scientific investigations into biological electromagnetic emissions with debunked and paranormal claims of auras and discharges of surrounding living organisms.”*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

¿Vida en el planeta K2-18b? Científicos detectan gases asociados a organismos marinos en un planeta a 124 años luzPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoLa atmósfera del exoplaneta K2-18b contiene gases que, en la Tierra, solo producen seres vivosUn equipo de científicos ha detectado señales químicas en un planeta llamado K2-18b, ubicado a 124 años luz de la Tierra. Lo emocionante es que estas señales podrían ser el rastro de vida. Detectaron gases que, en nuestro planeta, solo generan organismos vivos, como las algas del mar. ¿Es posible que haya vida más allá del sistema solar? Aunque aún falta mucho para confirmarlo, este podría ser el hallazgo más prometedor hasta ahora. El planeta tiene una atmósfera rica en hidrógeno y podría estar cubierto por un océano cálido. Pero también hay dudas sobre su verdadera composición y si esos gases pueden tener otro origen no biológico.El planeta podría ser tan caliente que tenga océanos de lavaK2-18b fue descubierto en 2015 por el telescopio Kepler y desde entonces ha sido estudiado con atención. Es un exoplaneta más grande que la Tierra, con casi nueve veces su masa. Gira alrededor de una estrella fría en la constelación de Leo y está en la llamada zona habitable, donde podría haber agua líquida. Recientemente, el telescopio espacial James Webb analizó la luz que atraviesa su atmósfera. Detectó compuestos como metano, dióxido de carbono y, lo más sorprendente, dimetil sulfuro (DMS) y dimetil disulfuro (DMDS). En la Tierra, estas sustancias las generan solo los organismos vivos, especialmente microorganismos marinos como el fitoplancton.A pesar del entusiasmo, los científicos son cautelosos. El hallazgo es tentador, pero aún no es una prueba definitiva de vida. Para que lo fuera, la señal tendría que alcanzar un nivel de confianza del 99.99999 %. Por ahora está en el 99.7 %, lo que aún deja espacio para dudas. Además, hay desacuerdo entre expertos sobre si estos gases podrían generarse por procesos no biológicos, como actividad geológica desconocida. Incluso hay quienes creen que el planeta podría no tener una superficie sólida, sino estar cubierto por un océano de magma. También se discute si su atmósfera es demasiado caliente y espesa para permitir vida como la conocemos.El profesor Nikku Madhusudhan, de la Universidad de Cambridge, lidera este estudio. Él cree que, si se confirma que estos gases provienen de vida, el universo estaría lleno de otros mundos habitados. Para lograr esa confirmación, bastarían entre 16 y 24 horas más de observación del telescopio Webb, aunque esas horas podrían tardar años en asignarse. Mientras tanto, se seguirán haciendo pruebas en laboratorios para comprobar si los compuestos pueden originarse sin vida. Lo que sí está claro es que estamos cada vez más cerca de responder una pregunta que la humanidad se hace desde hace milenios: ¿estamos solos?K2-18b es un ejemplo de lo que los astrónomos llaman un “planeta hyceano”: mundos más grandes que la Tierra, cubiertos de océanos y con una atmósfera rica en hidrógeno. Hasta hace poco, se pensaba que solo los planetas rocosos como el nuestro podían ser habitables. Pero los hyceanos amplían esa posibilidad. En 2023, el telescopio Hubble ya había detectado vapor de agua en este planeta. Luego, el telescopio Webb confirmó la presencia de moléculas con carbono, y ahora se suman estas posibles huellas de vida. Aunque hay escepticismo, este descubrimiento está motivando nuevas misiones espaciales y futuros telescopios, como el Observatorio de Mundos Habitables que planea lanzar la NASA en la década de 2040.Científicos detectaron en K2-18b gases que en la Tierra solo produce la vida. Aún no es prueba definitiva, pero es la señal más prometedora hasta ahora. ¿Qué opinas? Escucha más noticias como esta en Flash Diario en Spotify

We look at the cosmic riddle of life and death… and the place in-between… the near-death-experience… from the view of those who have personally gone through it, those around them when it happened, and the doctors and scientists trying to make sense of it. Darkness Syndicate members get the ad-free version. https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateInfo on the next LIVE SCREAM event. https://weirddarkness.com/LiveScreamInfo on the next WEIRDO WATCH PARTY event. https://weirddarkness.com/TVIN THIS EPISODE: To some, the idea of life after death is comforting. It gives them a sense of hope that they will be reunited with loved ones who have passed away. For others, the thought of an afterlife is scary and uncertain. But regardless of how we feel about it, the topic of life after death is one that fascinates us all. And those who have had a near-death-experience are about the closest we'll ever get to finding an answer to that question – until we pass on ourselves. Tonight, we look at the cosmic riddle of life and death… and the place in-between… the near-death-experience… from the view of those who have personally gone through it, those around them when it happened, and the doctors and scientists trying to make sense of it.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = Disclaimer and Lead-In00:00:56.011 = Show Open00:02:28.157 = Lauran Canaday00:16:04.155 = Ancient Near-Death Experiences00:29:47.434 = The Seven Types of Near-Death Experiences00:37:32.389 = Doctor Believes In Life After Death00:43:43.286 = What It Was Like For These Undead01:01:59.256 = They Died And Saw Heaven01:10:35.182 = They Died And Saw Hell01:21:58.959 = Show CloseSOURCES AND RESOURCES FROM THE EPISODE…Episode Page at WeirdDarkness.com: https://weirddarkness.com/ndeCHURCH OF THE UNDEAD: “What Will Heaven Be Like?”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yn6xjcveCHURCH OF THE UNDEAD: “Myths About Hell”: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4urz9av6BOOK: “Independence Ave: How Individualism Killed Me and Community Brought Me Back” by Lauran Canaday:https://amzn.to/3TK21DaBOOK: “There Is A God: How the World's Most Notorious Atheist Changed His Mind” by Anthony Flew: https://amzn.to/41W9qkVLauran Canaday story: http://tinyurl.com/msmnd6yx; http://tinyurl.com/yc7f8bc5; http://tinyurl.com/2385zpes;http://tinyurl.com/2p8ef7c4; http://tinyurl.com/bdn9xjbn; http://tinyurl.com/yck5cn4t; http://tinyurl.com/mvekkjjr“Ancient NDEs” by Blake Lynch for ListVerse: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/3audrx8y“The Seven Types of NDEs” by Fiona MacDonald for Science Alert: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/ycyze3js“Doctor Believes in Life After Death” by Kelly Burch for Insider: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/5d79dkxz; and from Oddity Central: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/njbemyvb“What It Was Like For These Undead” posted by Adan Matthews for DidYouKnowFacts and reposted at TheLineUp:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/39xwt8kp“They Died And Saw Heaven” by Matt McWilliams for Church Creative Pros: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/4xavwzw9“They Died And Saw Hell” by Joe Harker for Unilad: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/23anjmau,https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p9758r4, and Katherine Ripley for Graveyard Shift:https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/yudk289p=====(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

Seems like the human race never learns. We just got through one massive, global pandemic that killed many millions of people. Now, fears surrounding Bird Flu are making headlines like: Experts Warn of Bird Flu Pandemic As Signals of Mutation Mount. That from ScienceAlert. SciTechDaily's headline reads: Alarming Mutation in H5N1 Virus Raises Pandemic Red Flags. The article goes on to say: "A recent study published in Science and funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) has found that a single alteration in a protein on the surface of the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) H5N1 virus—currently present in U.S. dairy cows—could significantly increase its potential for human-to-human transmission." And, now, the USDA is going be testing cow's milk! NBC News reports: "The mandate targeting bulk milk transporters and dairy processors is meant to help identify herds that have caught the virus, which has spread among livestock." So, what happens when they find Bird Flu? They've already killed millions of exposed chickens by baking them to death in a cruel mass-killing process called Ventilation Shutdown!  Are they going to bake the cows to death too? Would it be too crazy to suggest that humans should just stop torturing and killing 92 BILLION ANIMALS for food every year in dangerously cramped industrial factory farming systems? Here to discuss is Free From Harm's Robert Grillo and Amber Canavan, PETA's Vegan Campaigns Project Manager with UnchainedTV host Jane Velez-Mitchell.   

NUEVE AÑOS del Curiosity en  Marte El 6 de agosto de 2012 aterrizó sobre la superficie marciana y desde entonces ha sido una inestimable ayuda para conocer mejor a nuestro vecino cósmico. Se cumplen siete años de la llegada del Curiosity a Marte. Este astromóvil de exploración forma parte de una misión espacial que se lanzó el 26 de noviembre de 2011 y aterrizó en territorio marciano el 6 de agosto de 2012. Aunque en principio la misión estaba programada para durar dos años, los grandes avances que ha proporcionado el Curiosity han hecho que se prolongue de manera indefinida. Es por ello que, la web Science Alert ha querido hacerse eco de los siete descubrimientos más importantes de estos años. Prestemos oídos a la crónica …

* List of Discoveries Squeezing Evolution: Did you know that dinosaurs ate rice before rice evolved? That turtle shells existed forty million years before turtle shells began evolving? That insects evolved tongues for eating from flowers 70 million years before flowers evolved? And that birds appeared before birds evolved? The fossil record is a wonderful thing. And more recently, only a 40,000-year squeeze, Neanderthal had blood types A, B, and O, shocking evolutionists but expected to us here at Real Science Radio! Sit back and get ready to enjoy another instant classic, today's RSR "list show" on Evolution's Big Squeeze! Our other popular list shows include: - scientists doubting Darwin - evidence against whale evolution - problems with 'the river carved the canyon' - carbon 14 everywhere it shouldn't be - dinosaur still-soft biological tissue - solar system formation problems - evidence against the big bang - evidence for the global flood - genomes that just don't fit - and our list of not so old things! (See also rsr.org/sq2 and rsr.org/sq3!) * Evolution's Big Squeeze: Many discoveries squeeze the Darwinian theory's timeframe and of course without a workable timeframe there is no workable theory. Examples, with their alleged (and falsified) old-earth timeframes, include: - Complex skeletons existed 9 million years before they were thought to have evolved, before even the "Cambrian explosion".- Butterflies existed 10 million years before they were thought to have evolved. - Parrots existed "much earlier than had been thought", in fact, 25 million years before they were thought to have evolved. - Cephalopod fossils (squids, cuttlefish, etc.) appear 35 million years before they were able to propagate. - Turtle shells 40 million years before turtle shells began evolving - Trees began evolving 45 million years before they were thought to evolve - Spores appearing 50 million years before the plants that made them (not unlike footprints systematically appearing "millions of years before" the creatures that made them, as affirmed by Dr. Marcus Ross, associate professor of geology). - Sponges existed 60 million years before they were believed to have evolved. - Dinosaurs ate rice before it evolved Example - Insect proboscis (tongue) in moths and butterflies 70 million years before previously believed has them evolving before flowers. - Arthropod brains fully developed with central nervous system running to eyes and appendages just like modern arthropods 90 million years earlier than previously known (prior to 2021, now, allegedly 310mya) - 100 million years ago and already a bird - Fossil pollen pushes back plant evolution 100 million years. - Mammalian hair allegedly 100-million-years-old show that, "the morphology of hair cuticula may have remained unchanged throughout most of mammalian evolution", regarding the overlapping cells that lock the hair shaft into its follicle. - Piranha-like flesh-eating teeth (and bitten prey) found pushing back such fish 125 million years earlier than previously claimed   - Shocking organic molecules in "200 million-years-old leaves" from ginkgoes and conifers show unexpected stasis. - Plant genetic sophistication pushed back 200 million years. - Jellyfish fossils (Medusoid Problematica :) 200 million years earlier than expected; here from 500My ago. - Green seaweed 200 million years earlier than expected, pushed back now to a billion years ago!  - The acanthodii fish had color vision 300 million years ago, but then, and wait, Cheiracanthus fish allegedly 388 million years ago already had color vision. - Color vision (for which there is no Darwinian evolutionary small-step to be had, from monochromatic), existed "300 million years ago" in fish, and these allegedly "120-million-year-old" bird's rod and cone fossils stun researchers :) - 400-million-year-old Murrindalaspis placoderm fish "eye muscle attachment, the eyestalk attachment and openings for the optic nerve, and arteries and veins supplying the eyeball" The paper's author writes, "Of course, we would not expect the preservation of ancient structures made entirely of soft tissues (e.g. rods and cone cells in the retina...)." So, check this next item... :) - And... no vertebrates in the Cambrian? Well, from the journal Nature in 2014, a "Lower-Middle Cambrian... primitive fish displays unambiguous vertebrate features: a notochord, a pair of prominent camera-type eyes, paired nasal sacs, possible cranium and arcualia, W-shaped myomeres, and a post-anal tail" Primitive? - Fast-growing juvenile bone tissue, thought to appear in the Cretaceous, has been pushed back 100 million years: "This pushes the origin of fibrolamellar bone in Sauropterygia back from the Cretaceous to the early Middle Triassic..."- Trilobites "advanced" (not the predicted primitive) digestion "525 million" years ago - And there's this, a "530 million year old" fish, "50 million years before the current estimate of when fish evolved" - Mycobacterium tuberculosis 100,000 yr-old MRCA (most recent common ancestor) now 245 million- Fungus long claimed to originate 500M years ago, now found at allegedly 950 Mya (and still biological "the distant past... may have been much more 'modern' than we thought." :) - A rock contained pollen a billion years before plants evolved, according to a 2007 paper describing "remarkably preserved" fossil spores in the French Alps that had undergone high-grade metamorphism - 2.5 billion year old cyanobacteria fossils (made of organic material found in a stromatolite) appear about "200 million years before the [supposed] Great Oxidation Event". - 2.7 billion year old eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus) existed (allegedly) 1 billion years before expected - 3.5 billion year "cell division evidently identical to that of living filamentous prokaryotes." - And even older cyanobacteria! At 220 million years earlier than thought, per Nature's 3.7 billion year old dating of stromatolites! - The universe and life itself (in 2019 with the universe dated a billion, now, no, wait, two billion!, years younger than previously thought, that's not only squeezing biological but also astronomical evolution, with the overall story getting really tight) - Mantis shrimp, with its rudimentary color but advanced UV vision, is allegedly ancient. - Hadrosaur teeth, all 1400 of them, were "more complex than those of cows, horses, and other well-known modern grazers." Professor stunned by the find! (RSR predicts that, by 2030 just to put an end date on it, more fossils will be found from the geologic column that will be more "advanced" as compared to living organisms, just like this hadrosaur and like the allegedly 100M year old hagfish  fossil having more slime glands than living specimens.)  - Trace fossils "exquisitely preserved" of mobile organisms (motility) dated at 2.1 billion years ago, a full 1.5 billion earlier than previously believed - Various multicellular organisms allegedly 2.1 billion years old, show multicellularity 1.5 billion years sooner than long believed   - Pre-sauropod 26,000-pound dinosaur "shows us that even as far back as 200 million years ago, these animals had already become the largest vertebrates to ever walk the Earth." - The Evo-devo squeeze, i.e., evolutionary developmental biology, as with rsr.org/evo-devo-undermining-darwinism. - Extinct Siberian one-horned rhinos coexisted with mankind. - Whale "evolution" is being crushed in the industry-wide "big squeeze". First, geneticist claims whales evolved from hippos but paleontologists say hippos evolved tens of millions of years too late! And what's worse than that is that fossil finds continue to compress the time available for whale evolution. To not violate its own plot, the Darwinist story doesn't start animals evolving back into the sea until the cast includes land animals suitable to undertake the legendary journey. The recent excavation of whale fossils on an island of the Antarctic Peninsula further compresses the already absurdly fast 10 million years to allegedly evolve from the land back to the sea, down to as little as one million years. BioOne in 2016 reported a fossil that is "among the oldest occurrences of basilosaurids worldwide, indicating a rapid radiation and dispersal of this group since at least the early middle Eocene." By this assessment, various techniques produced various published dates. (See the evidence that falsifies the canonical whale evolution story at rsr.org/whales.) * Ancient Hierarchical Insect Society: "Thanks to some well-preserved remains, researchers now believe arthropod social structures have been around longer than anyone ever imagined. The encased specimens of ants and termites recently studied date back [allegedly] 100 million years." Also from the video about "the bubonic plague", the "disease is well known as a Middle Ages mass killer... Traces of very similar bacteria were found on [an allegedly] 20-million-year-old flea trapped in amber." And regarding "Caribbean lizards... Even though they are [allegedly] 20 million years old, the reptiles inside the golden stones were not found to differ from their contemporary counterparts in any significant way. Scientists attribute the rarity [Ha! A rarity or the rule? Check out rsr.org/stasis.] to stable ecological surroundings." * Squeezing and Rewriting Human History: Some squeezing simply makes aspects of the Darwinian story harder to maintain while other squeezing contradicts fundamental claims. So consider the following discoveries, most of which came from about a 12-month period beginning in 2017 which squeeze (and some even falsify) the Out-of-Africa model: - find two teeth and rewrite human history with allegedly 9.7 million-year-old teeth found in northern Europe (and they're like Lucy, but "three times older") - date blue eyes, when humans first sported them, to as recently as 6,000 years ago   - get mummy DNA and rewrite human history with a thousand years of ancient Egyptian mummy DNA contradicting Out-of-Africa and demonstrating Out-of-Babel - find a few footprints and rewrite human history with allegedly 5.7 million-year-old human footprints in Crete - re-date an old skull and rewrite human history with a very human skull dated at 325,000 years old and redated in the Journal of Physical Anthropology at about 260,000 years old and described in the UK's Independent, "A skull found in China [40 years ago] could re-write our entire understanding of human evolution." - date the oldest language in India, Dravidian, with 80 derivatives spoken by 214 million people, which appeared on the subcontinent only about 4,500 years ago, which means that there is no evidence for human language for nearly 99% of the time that humans were living in Asia. (Ha! See rsr.org/origin-of-language for the correct explanation.) - sequence a baby's genome and rewrite human history with a 6-week old girl buried in Alaska allegedly 11,500 years ago challenging the established history of the New World. (The family buried this baby girl just beneath their home like the practice in ancient Mesopotamia, the Hebrews who sojourned in Egypt, and in Çatalhöyük in southern Turkey, one of the world's most ancient settlements.) - or was that 130,000? years ago as the journal Nature rewrites human history with a wild date for New World site - and find a jawbone and rewrite human history with a modern looking yet allegedly 180,000-year-old jawbone from Israel which "may rewrite the early migration story of our species" by about 100,000 years, per the journal Science - re-date a primate and lose yet another "missing link" between "Lucy" and humans, as Homo naledi sheds a couple million years off its age and drops from supposedly two million years old to (still allegedly) about 250,000 years old, far too "young" to be the allegedly missing link - re-analysis of the "best candidate" for the most recent ancestor to human beings, Australopithecus sediba, turns out to be a juvenile Lucy-like ape, as Science magazine reports work presented at the American Association of Physical Anthropologists 2017 annual meeting - find skulls in Morocco and "rewrite human history" admits the journal Nature, falsifying also the "East Africa" part of the canonical story - and from the You Can't Make This Stuff Up file, NPR reports in April 2019, Ancient Bones And Teeth Found In A Philippine Cave May Rewrite Human History. :) - Meanwhile, whereas every new discovery requires the materialists to rewrite human history, no one has had to rewrite Genesis, not even once. Yet, "We're not claiming that the Bible is a science textbook. Not at all. For the textbooks have to be rewritten all the time!"  - And even this from Science: "humans mastered the art of training and controlling dogs thousands of years earlier than previously thought."- RSR's Enyart commented on the Smithsonian's 2019 article on ancient DNA possibly deconstructing old myths...  This Smithsonian article about an ancient DNA paper in Science Advances, or actually, about the misuse of such papers, was itself a misuse. The published research, Ancient DNA sheds light on the genetic origins of early Iron Age Philistines, confirmed Amos 9:7 by documenting the European origin of the biblical Philistines who came from the island of Caphtor/Crete. The mainstream media completely obscured this astounding aspect of the study but the Smithsonian actually stood the paper on its head. [See also rsr.org/archaeology.]* Also Squeezing Darwin's Theory: - Evolution happens so slowly that we can't see it, yet - it happens so fast that millions of mutations get fixed in a blink of geologic time AND: - Observing a million species annually should show us a million years of evolution, but it doesn't, yet - evolution happens so fast that the billions of "intermediary" fossils are missing AND: - Waiting for helpful random mutations to show up explains the slowness of evolution, yet - adaption to changing environments is often immediate, as with Darwin's finches Finches Adapt in 17 Years, Not 2.3 Million: Charles Darwin's finches are claimed to have taken 2,300,000 years to diversify from an initial species blown onto the Galapagos Islands. Yet individuals from a single finch species on a U.S. Bird Reservation in the Pacific were introduced to a group of small islands 300 miles away and in at most 17 years, like Darwin's finches, they had diversified their beaks, related muscles, and behavior to fill various ecological niches. So Darwin's finches could diversify in just 17 years, and after 2.3 million more years, what had they evolved into? Finches! Hear this also at rsr.org/lee-spetner and see Jean Lightner's review of the Grants' 40 Years. AND: - Fossils of modern organisms are found "earlier" and "earlier" in the geologic column, and - the "oldest" organisms are increasingly found to have anatomical, proteinaceous, prokaryotic, and eukaryotic sophistication and similarity to "modern" organisms AND: - Small populations are in danger of extinction (yet they're needed to fix mutations), whereas - large populations make it impossible for a mutation to become standard AND: - Mutations that express changes too late in an organism's development can't effect its fundamental body plan, and - mutations expressed too early in an organism's development are fatal (hence among the Enyart sayings, "Like evolving a vital organ, most major hurdles for evolutionary theory are extinction-level events.") AND: - To evolve flight, you'd get bad legs - long before you'd get good wings AND: - Most major evolutionary hurdles appear to be extinction-level events- yet somehow even *vital* organs evolve (for many species, that includes reproductive organs, skin, brain, heart, circulatory system, kidney, liver, pancreas, stomach, small intestines, large intestines, lungs -- which are only a part of the complex respiration system) AND: - Natural selection of randomly taller, swifter, etc., fish, mammals, etc. explains evolution yet - development of microscopic molecular machines, feedback mechanisms, etc., which power biology would be oblivous to what's happening in Darwin's macro environment of the entire organism AND: - Neo-Darwinism suggests genetic mutation as the engine of evolution yet - the there is not even a hypothesis for modifying the vast non-genetic information in every living cell including the sugar code, electrical code, the spatial (geometric) code, and the epigenetic code AND: - Constant appeals to "convergent" evolution (repeatedly arising vision, echolocation, warm-bloodedness, etc.) - undermine most Darwinian anatomical classification especially those based on trivialities like odd or even-toed ungulates, etc. AND: - Claims that given a single species arising by abiogenesis, then - Darwinism can explain the diversification of life, ignores the science of ecology and the (often redundant) biological services that species rely upon AND: - humans' vastly superior intelligence indicates, as bragged about for decades by Darwinists, that ape hominids should have the greatest animal intelligence, except that - many so-called "primitive" creatures and those far distant on Darwin's tee of life, exhibit extraordinary rsr.org/animal-intelligence even to processing stimuli that some groups of apes cannot AND: - Claims that the tree of life emerges from a single (or a few) common ancestors - conflict with the discoveries of multiple genetic codes and of thousands of orphan genes that have no similarity (homology) to any other known genes AND (as in the New Scientist cover story, "Darwin Was Wrong about the tree of life", etc.): - DNA sequences have contradicted anatomy-based ancestry claims - Fossil-based ancestry claims have been contradicted by RNA claims - DNA-based ancestry claims have been contradicted by anatomy claims - Protein-based ancestry claims have been contradicted by fossil claims. - And the reverse problem compared to a squeeze. Like finding the largest mall in America built to house just a kid's lemonade stand, see rsr.org/200 for the astounding lack of genetic diversity in humans, plants, and animals, so much so that it could all be accounted for in just about 200 generations! - The multiplied things that evolved multiple times - Etc. * List of Ways Darwinists Invent their Tree of Life, aka Pop Goes the Weasle – Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes: Evolutionists change their selection of what evidence they use to show 'lineage', from DNA to fossils to genes to body plans to teeth to many specific anatomical features to proteins to behavior to developmental similarities to habitat to RNA, etc. and to a combination of such. Darwinism is an entire endeavor based on selection bias, a kind of logical fallacy. By anti-science they arbitrarily select evidence that best matches whichever evolutionary story is currently preferred." -Bob E. The methodology used to create the family tree edifice to show evolutionary relationships classifies the descent of organisms based on such attributes as odd-toed and even-toed ungulates. Really? If something as wildly sophisticated as vision allegedly evolved multiple times (a dozen or more), then for cryin' out loud, why couldn't something as relatively simple as odd or even toes repeatedly evolve? How about dinosaur's evolving eggs with hard shells? Turns out that "hard-shelled eggs evolved at least three times independently in dinosaurs" (Nature, 2020). However, whether a genus has an odd or even number of toes, and similar distinctions, form the basis for the 150-year-old Darwinist methodology. Yet its leading proponents still haven't acknowledged that their tree building is arbitrary and invalid. Darwin's tree recently fell anyway, and regardless, it has been known to be even theoretically invalid all these many decades. Consider also bipedalism? In their false paradigm, couldn't that evolve twice? How about vertebrate and non-vertebrates, for that matter, evolving multiple times? Etc., etc., etc. Darwinists determine evolutionary family-tree taxonomic relationships based on numbers of toes, when desired, or on hips (distinguishing, for example, dinosaur orders, until they didn't) or limb bones, or feathers, or genes, or fossil sequence, or neck bone, or..., or..., or... Etc. So the platypus, for example, can be described as evolving from pretty much whatever story would be in vogue at the moment...   * "Ancient" Protein as Advanced as Modern Protein: A book review in the journal Science states, "the major conclusion is reached that 'analyses made of the oldest fossils thus far studied do not suggest that their [allegedly 145-million year-old] proteins were chemically any simpler than those now being produced.'" 1972, Biochemistry of Animal Fossils, p. 125 * "Ancient" Lampreys Just Modern Lampreys with Decomposed Brain and Mouth Parts: Ha! Researches spent half-a-year documenting how fish decay. RSR is so glad they did! One of the lessons learned? "[C]ertain parts of the brain and the mouth that distinguish the animals from earlier relatives begin a rapid decay within 24 hours..." :) * 140-million Year Old Spider Web: The BBC and National Geographic report on a 140-million year old spider web in amber which, as young-earth creationists expect, shows threads that resemble silk spun by modern spiders. Evolutionary scientists on the otherhand express surprise "that spider webs have stayed the same for 140 million years." And see the BBC. * Highly-Credentialed Though Non-Paleontologist on Flowers: Dr. Harry Levin who spent the last 15 years of a brilliant career researching paleontology presents much evidence that flowering plants had to originate not 150 million years ago but more than 300 million years ago. (To convert that to an actual historical timeframe, the evidence indicates flowers must have existed prior to the time that the strata, which is popularly dated to 300 mya, actually formed.) * Rampant Convergence: Ubiquitous appeals to "convergent" evolution (vision, echolocation, warm-bloodedness, icthyosaur/dolphin anatomy, etc.), all allegedly evolving multiple times, undermines anatomical classification based on trivialities like odd or even-toed ungulates, etc. * Astronomy's Big Evolution Squeeze: - Universe a billion, wait, two billion, years younger than thought   (so now it has to evolve even more impossibly rapidly) - Sun's evolution squeezes biological evolution - Galaxies evolving too quickly - Dust evolving too quickly - Black holes evolving too quickly - Clusters of galaxies evolving too quickly. * The Sun's Evolution Squeezes Life's Evolution: The earlier evolutionists claim that life began on Earth, the more trouble they have with astrophysicists. Why? They claim that a few billion years ago the Sun would have been far more unstable and cooler. The journal Nature reports that the Faint young Sun paradox remains for the "Sun was fainter when the Earth was young, but the climate was generally at least as warm as today". Further, our star would shoot out radioactive waves many of which being violent enough to blow out Earth's atmosphere into space, leaving Earth dead and dry like Mars without an atmosphere. And ignoring the fact that powerful computer simulators cannot validate the nebula theory of star formation, if the Sun had formed from a condensing gas cloud, a billion years later it still would have been emitting far less energy, even 30% less, than it does today. Forget about the claimed one-degree increase in the planet's temperature from man-made global warming, back when Darwinists imagine life arose, by this just-so story of life spontaneously generating in a warm pond somewhere (which itself is impossible), the Earth would have been an ice ball, with an average temperature of four degrees Fahrenheit below freezing! See also CMI's video download The Young Sun. * Zircons Freeze in Molten Eon Squeezing Earth's Evolution? Zircons "dated" 4 to 4.4 billion years old would have had to freeze (form) when the Earth allegedly was in its Hadean (Hades) Eon and still molten. Geophysicist Frank Stacey (Cambridge fellow, etc.) has suggested they may have formed above ocean trenches where it would be coolest. One problem is that even further squeezes the theory of plate tectonics requiring it to operate two billion years before otherwise claimed. A second problem (for these zircons and the plate tectonics theory itself) is that ancient trenches (now filled with sediments; others raised up above sea level; etc.) have never been found. A third problem is that these zircons contain low isotope ratios of carbon-13 to carbon-12 which evolutionists may try to explain as evidence for life existing even a half-billion years before they otherwise claim. For more about this (and to understand how these zircons actually did form) just click and then search (ctrl-f) for: zircon character. * Evolution Squeezes Life to Evolve with Super Radioactivity: Radioactivity today breaks chromosomes and produces neutral, harmful, and fatal birth defects. Dr. Walt Brown reports that, "A 160-pound person experiences 2,500 carbon-14 disintegrations each second", with about 10 disintergrations per second in our DNA. Worse for evolutionists is that, "Potassium-40 is the most abundant radioactive substance in... every living thing." Yet the percentage of Potassium that was radioactive in the past would have been far in excess of its percent today. (All this is somewhat akin to screws in complex machines changing into nails.) So life would have had to arise from inanimate matter (an impossibility of course) when it would have been far more radioactive than today. * Evolution of Uranium Squeezed by Contrasting Constraints: Uranium's two most abundant isotopes have a highly predictable ratio with 235U/238U equaling 0.007257 with a standard deviation of only 0.000017. Big bang advocates claim that these isotopes formed in distant stellar cataclysms. Yet that these isotopes somehow collected in innumerable small ore bodies in a fixed ratio is absurd. The impossibility of the "big bang" explanation of the uniformity of the uranium ratio (rsr.org/bb#ratio) simultaneously contrasts in the most shocking way with its opposite impossibility of the missing uniform distribution of radioactivity (see rsr.org/bb#distribution) with 90% of Earth's radioactivity in the Earth's crust, actually, the continental crust, and even at that, preferentially near granite! A stellar-cataclysmic explanation within the big bang paradigm for the origin of uranium is severely squeezed into being falsified by these contrasting constraints. * Remarkable Sponges? Yes, But For What Reason? Study co-author Dr. Kenneth S. Kosik, the Harriman Professor of Neuroscience at UC Santa Barbara said, "Remarkably, the sponge genome now reveals that, along the way toward the emergence of animals, genes for an entire network of many specialized cells evolved and laid the basis for the core gene logic of organisms that no longer functioned as single cells." And then there's this: these simplest of creatures have manufacturing capabilities that far exceed our own, as Degnan says, "Sponges produce an amazing array of chemicals of direct interest to the pharmaceutical industry. They also biofabricate silica fibers directly from seawater in an environmentally benign manner, which is of great interest in communications [i.e., fiber optics]. With the genome in hand, we can decipher the methods used by these simple animals to produce materials that far exceed our current engineering and chemistry capabilities." Kangaroo Flashback: From our RSR Darwin's Other Shoe program: The director of Australia's Kangaroo Genomics Centre, Jenny Graves, that "There [are] great chunks of the human genome… sitting right there in the kangaroo genome." And the 20,000 genes in the kangaroo (roughly the same number as in humans) are "largely the same" as in people, and Graves adds, "a lot of them are in the same order!" CMI's Creation editors add that "unlike chimps, kangaroos are not supposed to be our 'close relatives.'" And "Organisms as diverse as leeches and lawyers are 'built' using the same developmental genes." So Darwinists were wrong to use that kind of genetic similarity as evidence of a developmental pathway from apes to humans. Hibernating Turtles: Question to the evolutionist: What happened to the first turtles that fell asleep hibernating underwater? SHOW UPDATE Of Mice and Men: Whereas evolutionists used a very superficial claim of chimpanzee and human genetic similarity as evidence of a close relationship, mice and men are pretty close also. From the Human Genome Project, How closely related are mice and humans?, "Mice and humans (indeed, most or all mammals including dogs, cats, rabbits, monkeys, and apes) have roughly the same number of nucleotides in their genomes -- about 3 billion base pairs. This comparable DNA content implies that all mammals [RSR: like roundworms :)] contain more or less the same number of genes, and indeed our work and the work of many others have provided evidence to confirm that notion. I know of only a few cases in which no mouse counterpart can be found for a particular human gene, and for the most part we see essentially a one-to-one correspondence between genes in the two species." * Related RSR Reports: See our reports on the fascinating DNA sequencing results from roundworms and the chimpanzee's Y chromosome! * Genetic Bottleneck, etc: Here's an excerpt from rsr.org/why-was-canaan-cursed... A prediction about the worldwide distribution of human genetic sequencing (see below) is an outgrowth of the Bible study at that same link (aka rsr.org/canaan), in that scientists will discover a genetic pattern resulting from not three but four sons of Noah's wife. Relevant information comes also from mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) which is not part of any of our 46 chromosomes but resides outside of the nucleus. Consider first some genetic information about Jews and Arabs, Jewish priests, Eve, and Noah. Jews and Arabs Biblical Ancestry: Dr. Jonathan Sarfati quotes the director of the Human Genetics Program at New York University School of Medicine, Dr. Harry Ostrer, who in 2000 said: Jews and Arabs are all really children of Abraham … And all have preserved their Middle Eastern genetic roots over 4,000 years. This familiar pattern, of the latest science corroborating biblical history, continues in Dr. Sarfati's article, Genesis correctly predicts Y-Chromosome pattern: Jews and Arabs shown to be descendants of one man. Jewish Priests Share Genetic Marker: The journal Nature in its scientific correspondence published, Y Chromosomes of Jewish Priests, by scie

It's Monday, November 11th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Hundreds of Hindus attacked 14 Christians in India As police officers watched in India, hundreds of Hindus attacked 14 Christians on October 30 in Chhattisgarh, after the believers defied orders to abandon their Christian faith and harvested crops from a communal farm, reports International Christian Concern. Several of the Christians, including two women, were beaten with wooden rods and suffered head trauma and broken bones. The mob also demolished the believers' homes, destroyed the crops they had harvested, and injured a police officer who had tried to help.  Nagesh Micha, a Christian rights activist, said, “The police, which are supposed to uphold the fundamental rights of an individual, have allowed 14 people to be beaten in their presence. This means there are higher authorities who are supporting the mobs.”  According to Open Doors, India is the 11th most dangerous country worldwide in which to be a Christian. Trump flipped Nevada and Arizona While Donald Trump was declared the presidential victor over Kamala Harris, the vote counting continued. Last Friday, Trump flipped Nevada 50.6%-47.4%, reports The Epoch Times. And on Saturday night, Trump was declared the victor in Arizona, 52.6%-46.4%. Remarkably, that means Trump has now won all seven of the swing states. Trump earned 312 electoral votes to Kamala's 226. To win, 270 electoral votes were needed. U.S. House: GOP has 213 vs Dems at 202 And, in the U.S. House of Representatives, the Republicans have won 213 seats compared to the 202 seats won by the Democrats. Outstanding races where ballots are still being counted are located in Arizona, Alaska, California, Iowa, Louisiana, Oregon, and Washington State. The party with 218 seats gets the majority. Trump selects first-ever female Chief of Staff President-elect Donald Trump chose Susie Wiles, the co-chair of his presidential campaign, to serve as his chief of staff, reports Fox News. She will be the first woman ever to serve in that role. Franklin Graham urges Trump to seek God daily Evangelist Franklin Graham tweeted, “Congratulations to Donald Trump on being elected the 47th president of the United States of America! I pray that you will look to God every day for His guidance and wisdom.” On the Billy Hallowell CBN podcast, Graham added these cautionary words. GRAHAM: “Our country, I believe, is doomed unless we repent of our sins and call upon the name of Almighty God and His Son, Jesus Christ. “The entertainment industry, they're normalizing sin. It's in every program you watch on TV. They try to make sin normal. It has a dulling effect, I believe, on us spiritually. It takes the sharp edge off of us, and we just begin to kind of become ‘ho hum' about it. We should be shocked. We should be embarrassed. “We should never accept it within the church. Unfortunately, many churches have accepted sin.” 3 things Christian should do in wake of Trump's victory In the wake of Trump's re-election, Pastor Josh Howerton tweeted three things that Christians should do. First, “Give thanks. Our nation was given an undeserved mercy. It is a window for repentance. No Christian anywhere should've supported the policy platform that was mercifully defeated and saying that should never have been controversial. In fact, it should prompt deep reflection about what happened to the U.S. church…. It is not wrong to celebrate and give thanks today for being spared from something our rebellious nation deserved … ‘When wicked things perish, there are shouts of joy' — Proverbs 11:10” Second, “Pray. Not only because we are commanded to pray for our governing leaders in 1 Timothy 2:1, but because of the situation. We elected Jehu, a flawed leader who defeated a greater evil, not Josiah, a righteous leader who led national revival, and that comes with risks. “The command to “trust not in princes” (Psalm 146:3) means there is Someone 10 trillion times greater than a President and something 10 billion times greater than an election that we should ache and hunger for — an outpouring of the Spirit in our generation.” Third, “Hurl yourself into the purposes of God in our generation. … Judeo-Christian values can keep a nation out of chaos, but they cannot keep a person out of Hell. Only the blood of Jesus Christ can do that.” Former DNC official: Biden should resign & appoint Kamala president Jamal Simmons, a former deputy director of communications for the Democratic National Committee, proposed an idea so wild that even the CNN panel he was taking part in seemed skeptical, reports Red State. SIMMONS: “Joe Biden has been a phenomenal president. He's lived up to so many of the promises he's made. There's one promise left that he could fulfill, being a transitional figure. “He could resign the presidency in the next 30 days, make Kamala Harris the president United States.” CNN CONSERVATIVE CONTRIBUTOR SCOTT JENNINGS: “Woah!” SIMMONS: “He would absolve …” DANA BASH: “Wow!” SIMMONS: “…her from having to oversee the January 6 transition of her own defeat. And it would dominate the news at a point where Democrats have to learn drama and transparency and doing things that the public wants to see. This is the moment for us to change the entire perspective of how Democrats operate.” BASH: “This has now jumped from an internet meme to a Sunday morning show.” If Biden resigned and appointed Kamala as president, this would indeed dominate the news. The message sent would be that the Democrats treated the presidency like a participation trophy.  No doubt, if President Biden were to take this foolish suggestion seriously, he would both sully what's left of his reputation and simultaneously cement the Republican hold on the White House for decades to come. Big snowstorm hit Colorado (“Let it snow” song) God sent a whole lot of snow into Colorado, reports the Denver Gazette. Not only did Denver receive 8 inches and Colorado Springs got 14 inches, but Evergreen got 18 inches of the white stuff and La Veta Pass was buried in 37 inches of snow. Deep sleep boosts brain health, reduces memory problems And finally, deep sleep could be the key to forestalling slow declines in brain health that may one day lead to Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia, reports Science Alert. Matthew Walker, a neuroscientist at the University of California Berkeley, said, "Think of deep sleep almost like a life raft that keeps memory afloat, rather than memory getting dragged down by the weight of Alzheimer's disease pathology. This is especially exciting because we can do something about it. There are ways we can improve sleep, even in older adults." Want some more deep sleep yourself?. Cut out coffee late in the day. Get exercise. Then, right before bed, avoid screen time, and take a hot shower.

Si l'impact de l'alimentation ultra-transformée sur notre santé n'était pas encore suffisamment clair, deux chercheuses en nutrition et santé mentale ont récemment publié un état des lieux quant au lien entre la malbouffe et les symptômes dépressifs. Le constat est sans appel : une alimentation pauvre en micro-nutriments déclenche un phénomène appelé « faim cérébrale », qui peut entrainer des difficultés à réguler ses émotions, mais aussi davantage de violence verbale et de manifestations de dépression.Un rapport clairement établi depuis plusieurs annéesEn 2021, deux autrices scientifiques, Bonnie Kaplan et Julia Rucklidge, publient un article dans le magazine Science Alert au sujet des conséquences qu'induit la consommation de malbouffe régulière sur la santé mentale. Elles ne sont pas les premières à souligner le rapport de cause à effet. Des dizaines d'études s'y sont intéressées et montrent que les personnes qui suivent un régime de type méditerranéen, avec une grande proportion de végétaux, sont en meilleure santé mentale que les personnes qui ont une alimentation moins équilibrée.Mieux, certaines expériences révèlent que des personnes atteintes de dépression guérissent plus souvent lorsqu'elles associent leur traitement avec un régime alimentaire sain que lorsqu'elles se contentent de prendre des médicaments. Le taux de rémission passe alors de moins de 1 sur 10 pour celles qui conservent de mauvaises habitudes nutritionnelles à 1 sur 3 chez celles qui adoptent une bonne alimentation.Pourquoi la malbouffe favorise la dépression et l'anxiété ?Plusieurs pistes sont évoquées afin d'expliquer le lien entre malbouffe et dépression. D'abord, la nourriture industrielle ultra-transformée est très pauvre en micro-nutriments. Or le cerveau a besoin d'une variété d'une trentaine de ces éléments pour fonctionner correctement. En état de « faim cérébrale », l'organisme présente des dysfonctionnements et va par exemple éprouver des difficultés à résoudre les problèmes quotidiens, occasionnant stress et idées noires.Ensuite, la consommation à outrance de nourriture riche en sucre, en sel et en gras produit une inflammation systémique de l'organisme. Dans un tel état, le cerveau reçoit des molécules pro-inflammatoires qui interfèrent avec le fonctionnement normal des neurotransmetteurs. Parmi ceux-là, certaines molécules participent à la régulation de l'humeur. L'inflammation systémique aboutit donc à une moins bonne gestion des variations émotionnelles, qui peut induire l'apparition d'anxiété et de troubles dépressifs.Enfin, alors que les acides gras consommés dans le cadre d'un régime méditerranéen sont bénéfiques au cerveau, les acides gras trans et saturés omniprésents dans la malbouffe s'avèrent très mauvais pour la santé. Leur consommation est associée à une baisse générale de la fonction cognitive, et plus précisément de la mémoire. Quand on sait que le déclin cognitif œuvre en faveur de la dépression, le lien entre malbouffe et troubles dépressifs n'en est que conforté. Hébergé par Acast.

Almost everyone who walks into a casino feeling confident that they're gonna walk out richer is what is technically known as “a sucker.” Every game you play at a casino gives the house an edge. Not much of one—otherwise, why would people play? Players have to win a decent portion of the time, that's why they keep putting their money down on the table. But behind the glitz and glamour, casinos run on cold mathematical certainty. Over the long term, over hundreds of hands of cards and rolls of the dice and spins of the wheel, the house ultimately always wins.  But what if they didn't? What if people, through brainpower and daring, managed to beat the odds and come out on top? It's a tantalizing thought—and for the people in these three stories, it was too tempting to pass up.Sources: https://www.888casino.com/blog/famous-mit-team-membersBBC News: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-27519748Esquire: https://www.esquire.com/entertainment/tv/a37016468/heather-tallchief-roberto-solis-heist-netflix-now/NBC: https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna9766179Boston Magazine: https://www.bostonmagazine.com/arts-entertainment/2019/06/21/mit-blackjack-team/NY Times: https://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/16/us/fugitive-in-armored-car-theft-gives-up-after-12-years.htmlNew Scientist: https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21428644-500-roulette-beater-spills-physics-behind-victory/Science Alert: https://www.sciencealert.com/a-physicist-has-built-a-machine-that-can-beat-the-odds-at-rouletteJustice.gov: https://www.justice.gov/archive/usao/nv/news/2006/03302006.htmlhttp://www.richardmunchkin.com/2011/08/my-interview-with-john-laurie-c-mit.htmlNewsweek: https://www.newsweek.com/heist-netflix-heather-tallchief-roberto-solis-true-story-facts-documentary-1610361Follow us, campers!Patreon (join to get all episodes ad-free, at least a day early, an extra episode a month, and a free sticker!): https://patreon.com/TrueCrimeCampfirehttps://www.truecrimecampfirepod.com/Facebook: True Crime CampfireInstagram: https://gramha.net/profile/truecrimecampfire/19093397079Twitter: @TCCampfire https://twitter.com/TCCampfireEmail: truecrimecampfirepod@gmail.comMERCH! https://true-crime-campfire.myspreadshop.com

Pivotal moment for humanity as disasters threaten to converge", that new headline is from Science Alert. From looming global conflict to complete biosphere collapse, the long list of threats we collectively face are an unfolding and rapidly accelerating reality. Is industrialized / militarized society reacting rationally to the Earth changes which now pose an extremely near term existential threat to us all? The short answer is no. The manipulators of the matrix are doubling down on planetary destruction with the active or passive support of the majority population. Where does that leave us? What can we expect in the coming weeks and months? The latest installment of Global Alert News is below.

It's Wednesday, February 28th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Apple took down Pray.com's app with Bible reading plans Communist China continues its crackdown on the Bible. Last week, Pray.com reported its app was taken down from the Apple App Store in mainland China. The app contained Christian content and Bible-reading plans. In 2022, China enacted “Measures for the Administration of Internet Religious Information Services” to further suppress Christians. Steve Gatena with Pray.com said that “in response to these limitations, our team is exploring alternative avenues to deliver our content and services to people in mainland China.” Sweden one step closer to joining NATO On Monday, Hungary's parliament approved Sweden's bid to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). The vote was the last hurdle for Sweden to join the western military alliance. The Scandinavian country began the process in 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine.  Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said, “Sweden is leaving behind 200 years of neutrality and non-alignment. It's a big step and something to take seriously but it is also a very natural step that we take.” Trump: "No one will touch the cross of Christ under Trump administration.” In the United States, former President Donald Trump addressed the National Religious Broadcasters Convention in Nashville, Tennessee last Friday. If elected, Trump said he would “create a new federal task force on fighting anti-Christian bias. … Its mission will be to investigate all forms of illegal discrimination, harassment, and persecution against Christians in America.” Trump went on to warn of the radical left that wants to tear down crosses, promising that would not happen under his administration.  TRUMP: “No one will be touching the cross of Christ under the Trump administration. I swear to you that will never happen. Never happen.” In Psalm 14:4, God asked, “Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up My people as they eat bread, and do not call on the LORD?” (You can watch Trump's NRB speech here.) Trump supports 16-week abortion ban Speaking of Trump, the former president has expressed support for a 16-week abortion ban, according to the New York Times. A new poll by The Economist and YouGov found that 48% of U.S. adults support a national 16-week abortion ban. Twenty-seven percent of respondents strongly support the ban. Only 36% opposed it, and 16% said they were not sure. The survey also asked if abortion should be legal at all. Thirty-eight percent of Americans said abortion should be banned but with some exceptions; 8% said abortion should never be allowed; 29% said abortion should be legal with restrictions; and 24% said abortion should be completely legal.  54% of public school parents want to opt kids out of sexual perversion indoctrination Pew Research released a new survey on what Americans think about presenting information about sexually perverted lifestyles in public schools. The study found that half of teachers think students should not learn about gender identity in school. That number rose to 62% among elementary teachers. Nonetheless, most K-12 teachers, at 58%, identify as or lean Democrat. Among U.S. adults, 54% believe parents should be able to opt their children out of learning about so-called sexual orientation or gender identity. Forty-eight percent of teachers said the same. Ephesians 6:4 says, “And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.” Nvidia hits $2 trillion market value Nvidia briefly reached $2 trillion in market value last Friday.  The tech company's rise comes as it provides most of the computer chips used by generative Artificial Intelligence programs like chat-GPT. In less than a year, Nvidia's market value has doubled from $1 trillion to $2 trillion. It is now the third largest company in the U.S. behind Microsoft and Apple.   America landed on moon first time in 50 years And finally, a Texas-based company accomplished the first American moon landing in over 50 years last Thursday. Intuitive Machines landed their robot craft, called Odysseus, near the moon's south pole. The accomplishment marks the first time a private company has landed a craft on the moon.  While Odysseus did tip over after landing, it still will be able to send back  helpful data, reports Science Alert.com. The mission is part of NASA's Commercial Lunar Payload Services program. NASA hopes to use private companies to transport scientific instruments and cargo to the moon before eventually sending astronauts again. Odysseus's primary mission is to collect data about the environment in the lunar south polar region. That area is of growing interest because its permanently shadowed craters are thought to contain reserves of water or ice that could support future moon bases. NASA is planning to send a crew of astronauts to the lunar south polar region in 2026.

I denne episode af RumSnak tager vi turen fra Jorden og ud forbi Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus og Neptun, helt ud forbi Kuiperbæltet, dér hvor rummet for alvor er ved at blive mørkt og tomt. Men måske er der ikke helt tomt. Faktisk er der nogen der tror, at de har fundet en ny planet derude – Planet 9, som den kaldes indtil videre. Vi har besøg i studiet af Mike Alexandersen som er astronom på Minor Planets Center i Cambridge, Massachusetts, for at høre mere om Planet 9 – eller i hvert fald de observationer og simulationer som har givet anledning til hypotesen om bonusplaneten derude. Derudover skal vi selvfølgelig have et par aktuelle nyheder – og en held håndfuld bonusser – denne gang blandt andet om endnu en privat Månemission, om Euclid-missionen og om en dokumentarfilm med fokus på astronauters mentale og psykiske velbefindende.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The likely first longevity drug is based on sketchy science. This is bad for science and bad for longevity., published by BobBurgers on December 12, 2023 on LessWrong. If you are interested in the longevity scene, like I am, you probably have seen press releases about the dog longevity company, Loyal for Dogs, getting a nod for efficacy from the FDA. These have come in the form of the New York Post calling the drug " groundbreaking", Science Alert calling the drug " radical", and the more sedate New York Times just asking, "Could Longevity Drugs for Dogs Extend Your Pet's Life?", presumably unaware of Betteridge's Law of Headlines. You may have also seen the coordinated Twitter offensive of people losing their shit about this, including their lead investor, Laura Deming, saying that she " broke down crying when she got the call". And if you have been following Loyal for Dogs for a while, like I have, you are probably puzzled by this news. Loyal for Dogs has been around since 2021. Unlike any other drug company or longevity company, they have released almost zero information (including zero publications) about their strategy for longevity. These thoughts swirling around my head, I waded through the press releases trumpeting the end of dog death as we know it in order to figure out what exactly Loyal is doing for dog longevity. And, what I found first surprised me, then saddened me. Loyal did not prove efficacy in dog longevity. They found a path around the FDA instead. That's the surprising part. The sad part is that, in doing so, they relied on some really sketchy science. And I think that, based on their trajectory, they won't just be the first company to get a drug approved for longevity. They will be the first one to get a longevity drug pulled for non-efficacy as well, and put the field back years. So let's start with how they got their drug approved in the first place. Well, they didn't. To get drugs approved in animals, you need to prove three things: efficacy, safety, and manufacturing consistency. Normally, efficacy is the hardest part of this, because you have to prove to the FDA that your drug cures the disease that it's supposed to. This is especially hard in aging, because any aging trial would take a long time. Loyal found a way around that. If you can instead prove to the FDA that it would be too difficult to test your animal drug for efficacy before releasing it, they allow you to sell the drug first, and prove the efficacy later. This is a standard called "reasonable expectation of effectiveness". So, what exactly did Loyal show to the FDA to prove that there was a reasonable expectation their drug would be effective in aging? Well, it's hard to tell, because, again, Loyal has released very little data. But, based on the NYT article and their blog post, I can sketch out a basic idea of what they did. Loyal's longevity drug is an injectable insulin-like growth factor 1, or IGF-1, inhibitor. As the name suggests, IGF-1 is closely related to insulin and is regulated by insulin. Also as the name suggests, IGF-1 causes things to grow. High IGF-1 causes acromegaly, the condition that makes people look like storybook giants. Loyal gave their IGF-1 inhibitor to healthy laboratory dogs (and possibly diabetic dogs, although it's hard to tell). Lo and behold, it lowered IGF-1. It probably also reduced insulin. They then looked at healthy pet dogs, and found that big dogs had higher levels of IGF-1, which is one of the reasons they're big. Small dogs had lower levels of IGF-1. Small dogs, as we all know, live longer than big dogs. Therefore, Loyal said, our IGF-1 inhibitor will extend the life of dogs. Needless to say, this is bad science. Really bad science. There are holes big enough in this to walk a Great Dane through, which I'll talk about in a sec. Apparent...

-- Finches Diversify in Decades, Opals Form in Months,  Man's Genetic Diversity in 200 Generations, C-14 Everywhere: Real Science Radio hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams present their classic program that led to the audience-favorites rsr.org/list-shows! See below and hear on today's radio program our list of Not So Old and Not So Slow Things! From opals forming in months to man's genetic diversity in 200 generations, and with carbon 14 everywhere it's not supposed to be (including in diamonds and dinosaur bones!), scientific observations fill the guys' most traditional list challenging those who claim that the earth is billions of years old. Many of these scientific finds demand a re-evaluation of supposed million and billion-year ages. * Finches Adapt in 17 Years, Not 2.3 Million: Charles Darwin's finches are claimed to have taken 2,300,000 years to diversify from an initial species blown onto the Galapagos Islands. Yet individuals from a single finch species on a U.S. Bird Reservation in the Pacific were introduced to a group of small islands 300 miles away and in at most 17 years, like Darwin's finches, they had diversified their beaks, related muscles, and behavior to fill various ecological niches. Hear about this also at rsr.org/spetner. * Opals Can Form in "A Few Months" And Don't Need 100,000 Years: A leading authority on opals, Allan W. Eckert, observed that, "scientific papers and textbooks have told that the process of opal formation requires tens of thousands of years, perhaps hundreds of thousands... Not true." A 2011 peer-reviewed paper in a geology journal from Australia, where almost all the world's opal is found, reported on the: "new timetable for opal formation involving weeks to a few months and not the hundreds of thousands of years envisaged by the conventional weathering model." (And apparently, per a 2019 report from Entomology Today, opals can even form around insects!) More knowledgeable scientists resist the uncritical, group-think insistence on false super-slow formation rates (as also for manganese nodules, gold veins, stone, petroleum, canyons and gullies, and even guts, all below). Regarding opals, Darwinian bias led geologists to long ignore possible quick action, as from microbes, as a possible explanation for these mineraloids. For both in nature and in the lab, opals form rapidly, not even in 10,000 years, but in weeks. See this also from creationists by a geologist, a paleobiochemist, and a nuclear chemist. * Finches Speciate in Two Generations vs Two Million Years for Darwin's Birds?  Darwin's finches on the Galapagos Islands are said to have diversified into 14 species over a period of two million years. But in 2017 the journal Science reported a newcomer to the Island which within two generations spawned a reproductively isolated new species. In another instance as documented by Lee Spetner, a hundred birds of the same finch species introduced to an island cluster a 1,000 kilometers from Galapagos diversified into species with the typical variations in beak sizes, etc. "If this diversification occurred in less than seventeen years," Dr. Spetner asks, "why did Darwin's Galapagos finches [as claimed by evolutionists] have to take two million years?" * Blue Eyes Originated Not So Long Ago: Not a million years ago, nor a hundred thousand years ago, but based on a peer-reviewed paper in Human Genetics, a press release at Science Daily reports that, "research shows that people with blue eyes have a single, common ancestor. A team at the University of Copenhagen have tracked down a genetic mutation which took place 6-10,000 years ago and is the cause of the eye colour of all blue-eyed humans alive on the planet today." * Adding the Entire Universe to our List of Not So Old Things? Based on March 2019 findings from Hubble, Nobel laureate Adam Riess of the Space Telescope Science Institute and his co-authors in the Astrophysical Journal estimate that the universe is about a billion years younger than previously thought! Then in September 2019 in the journal Science, the age dropped precipitiously to as low as 11.4 billion years! Of course, these measurements also further squeeze the canonical story of the big bang chronology with its many already existing problems including the insufficient time to "evolve" distant mature galaxies, galaxy clusters, superclusters, enormous black holes, filaments, bubbles, walls, and other superstructures. So, even though the latest estimates are still absurdly too old (Google: big bang predictions, and click on the #1 ranked article, or just go on over there to rsr.org/bb), regardless, we thought we'd plop the whole universe down on our List of Not So Old Things!   * After the Soft Tissue Discoveries, NOW Dino DNA: When a North Carolina State University paleontologist took the Tyrannosaurus Rex photos to the right of original biological material, that led to the 2016 discovery of dinosaur DNA, So far researchers have also recovered dinosaur blood vessels, collagen, osteocytes, hemoglobin, red blood cells, and various proteins. As of May 2018, twenty-six scientific journals, including Nature, Science, PNAS, PLoS One, Bone, and Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, have confirmed the discovery of biomaterial fossils from many dinosaurs! Organisms including T. Rex, hadrosaur, titanosaur, triceratops, Lufengosaur, mosasaur, and Archaeopteryx, and many others dated, allegedly, even hundreds of millions of years old, have yielded their endogenous, still-soft biological material. See the web's most complete listing of 100+ journal papers (screenshot, left) announcing these discoveries at bflist.rsr.org and see it in layman's terms at rsr.org/soft. * Rapid Stalactites, Stalagmites, Etc.: A construction worker in 1954 left a lemonade bottle in one of Australia's famous Jenolan Caves. By 2011 it had been naturally transformed into a stalagmite (below, right). Increasing scientific knowledge is arguing for rapid cave formation (see below, Nat'l Park Service shrinks Carlsbad Caverns formation estimates from 260M years, to 10M, to 2M, to it "depends"). Likewise, examples are growing of rapid formations with typical chemical make-up (see bottle, left) of classic stalactites and stalagmites including:- in Nat'l Geo the Carlsbad Caverns stalagmite that rapidly covered a bat - the tunnel stalagmites at Tennessee's Raccoon Mountain - hundreds of stalactites beneath the Lincoln Memorial - those near Gladfelter Hall at Philadelphia's Temple University (send photos to Bob@rsr.org) - hundreds of stalactites at Australia's zinc mine at Mt. Isa.   - and those beneath Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance. * Most Human Mutations Arose in 200 Generations: From Adam until Real Science Radio, in only 200 generations! The journal Nature reports The Recent Origin of Most Human Protein-coding Variants. As summarized by geneticist co-author Joshua Akey, "Most of the mutations that we found arose in the last 200 generations or so" (the same number previously published by biblical creationists). Another 2012 paper, in the American Journal of Physical Anthropology (Eugenie Scott's own field) on High mitochondrial mutation rates, shows that one mitochondrial DNA mutation occurs every other generation, which, as creationists point out, indicates that mtEve would have lived about 200 generations ago. That's not so old! * National Geographic's Not-So-Old Hard-Rock Canyon at Mount St. Helens: As our List of Not So Old Things (this web page) reveals, by a kneejerk reaction evolutionary scientists assign ages of tens or hundreds of thousands of years (or at least just long enough to contradict Moses' chronology in Genesis.) However, with closer study, routinely, more and more old ages get revised downward to fit the world's growing scientific knowledge. So the trend is not that more information lengthens ages, but rather, as data replaces guesswork, ages tend to shrink until they are consistent with the young-earth biblical timeframe. Consistent with this observation, the May 2000 issue of National Geographic quotes the U.S. Forest Service's scientist at Mount St. Helens, Peter Frenzen, describing the canyon on the north side of the volcano. "You'd expect a hard-rock canyon to be thousands, even hundreds of thousands of years old. But this was cut in less than a decade." And as for the volcano itself, while again, the kneejerk reaction of old-earthers would be to claim that most geologic features are hundreds of thousands or millions of years old, the atheistic National Geographic magazine acknowledges from the evidence that Mount St. Helens, the volcanic mount, is only about 4,000 years old! See below and more at rsr.org/mount-st-helens. * Mount St. Helens Dome Ten Years Old not 1.7 Million: Geochron Laboratories of Cambridge, Mass., using potassium-argon and other radiometric techniques claims the rock sample they dated, from the volcano's dome, solidified somewhere between 340,000 and 2.8 million years ago. However photographic evidence and historical reports document the dome's formation during the 1980s, just ten years prior to the samples being collected. With the age of this rock known, radiometric dating therefore gets the age 99.99999% wrong. * Devils Hole Pupfish Isolated Not for 13,000 Years But for 100: Secular scientists default to knee-jerk, older-than-Bible-age dates. However, a tiny Mojave desert fish is having none of it. Rather than having been genetically isolated from other fish for 13,000 years (which would make this small school of fish older than the Earth itself), according to a paper in the journal Nature, actual measurements of mutation rates indicate that the genetic diversity of these Pupfish could have been generated in about 100 years, give or take a few. * Polystrates like Spines and Rare Schools of Fossilized Jellyfish: Previously, seven sedimentary layers in Wisconsin had been described as taking a million years to form. And because jellyfish have no skeleton, as Charles Darwin pointed out, it is rare to find them among fossils. But now, reported in the journal Geology, a school of jellyfish fossils have been found throughout those same seven layers. So, polystrate fossils that condense the time of strata deposition from eons to hours or months, include: - Jellyfish in central Wisconsin were not deposited and fossilized over a million years but during a single event quick enough to trap a whole school. (This fossil school, therefore, taken as a unit forms a polystrate fossil.) Examples are everywhere that falsify the claims of strata deposition over millions of years. - Countless trilobites buried in astounding three dimensionality around the world are meticulously recovered from limestone, much of which is claimed to have been deposited very slowly. Contrariwise, because these specimens were buried rapidly in quickly laid down sediments, they show no evidence of greater erosion on their upper parts as compared to their lower parts.- The delicacy of radiating spine polystrates, like tadpole and jellyfish fossils, especially clearly demonstrate the rapidity of such strata deposition. - A second school of jellyfish, even though they rarely fossilized, exists in another locale with jellyfish fossils in multiple layers, in Australia's Brockman Iron Formation, constraining there too the rate of strata deposition. By the way, jellyfish are an example of evolution's big squeeze. Like galaxies evolving too quickly, galaxy clusters, and even human feet (which, like Mummy DNA, challenge the Out of Africa paradigm), jellyfish have gotten into the act squeezing evolution's timeline, here by 200 million years when they were found in strata allegedly a half-a-billion years old. Other examples, ironically referred to as Medusoid Problematica, are even found in pre-Cambrian strata. - 171 tadpoles of the same species buried in diatoms. - Leaves buried vertically through single-celled diatoms powerfully refute the claimed super-slow deposition of diatomaceous rock. - Many fossils, including a Mesosaur, have been buried in multiple "varve" layers, which are claimed to be annual depositions, yet they show no erosional patterns that would indicate gradual burial (as they claim, absurdly, over even thousands of years). - A single whale skeleton preserved in California in dozens of layers of diatom deposits thus forming a polystrate fossil. - 40 whales buried in the desert in Chile. "What's really interesting is that this didn't just happen once," said Smithsonian evolutionist Dr. Nick Pyenson. It happened four times." Why's that? Because "the fossil site has at least four layers", to which Real Science Radio's Bob Enyart replies: "Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha", with RSR co-host Fred Williams thoughtfully adding, "Ha ha!" * Polystrate Trees: Examples abound around the world of polystrate trees:  - Yellowstone's petrified polystrate forest (with the NPS exhibit sign removed; see below) with successive layers of rootless trees demonstrating the rapid deposition of fifty layers of strata. - A similarly formed polystrate fossil forest in France demonstrating the rapid deposition of a dozen strata. - In a thousand locations including famously the Fossil Cliffs of Joggins, Nova Scotia, polystrate fossils such as trees span many strata. - These trees lack erosion: Not only should such fossils, generally speaking, not even exist, but polystrates including trees typically show no evidence of erosion increasing with height. All of this powerfully disproves the claim that the layers were deposited slowly over thousands or millions of years. In the experience of your RSR radio hosts, evolutionists commonly respond to this hard evidence with mocking. See CRSQ June 2006, ICR Impact #316, and RSR 8-11-06 at KGOV.com. * Yellowstone Petrified Trees Sign Removed: The National Park Service removed their incorrect sign (see left and more). The NPS had claimed that in dozens of different strata over a 40-square mile area, many petrified trees were still standing where they had grown. The NPS eventually removed the sign partly because those petrified trees had no root systems, which they would have had if they had grown there. Instead, the trees of this "fossil forest" have roots that are abruptly broken off two or three feet from their trunks. If these mature trees actually had been remnants of sequential forests that had grown up in strata layer on top of strata layer, 27 times on Specimen Ridge (and 50 times at Specimen Creek), such a natural history implies passage of more time than permitted by biblical chronology. So, don't trust the National Park Service on historical science because they're wrong on the age of the Earth. * Wood Petrifies Quickly: Not surprisingly, by the common evolutionary knee-jerk claim of deep time, "several researchers believe that several millions of years are necessary for the complete formation of silicified wood". Our List of Not So Old and Not So Slow Things includes the work of five Japanese scientists who proved creationist research and published their results in the peer-reviewed journal Sedimentary Geology showing that wood can and does petrify rapidly. Modern wood significantly petrified in 36 years these researchers concluded that wood buried in strata could have been petrified in "a fairly short period of time, in the order of several tens to hundreds of years." * The Scablands: The primary surface features of the Scablands, which cover thousands of square miles of eastern Washington, were long believed to have formed gradually. Yet, against the determined claims of uniformitarian geologists, there is now overwhelming evidence as presented even in a NOVA TV program that the primary features of the Scablands formed rapidly from a catastrophic breach of Lake Missoula causing a massive regional flood. Of course evolutionary geologists still argue that the landscape was formed over tens of thousands of years, now by claiming there must have been a hundred Missoula floods. However, the evidence that there was Only One Lake Missoula Flood has been powerfully reinforced by a University of Colorado Ph.D. thesis. So the Scablands itself is no longer available to old-earthers as de facto evidence for the passage of millions of years. * The Heart Mountain Detachment: in Wyoming just east of Yellowstone, this mountain did not break apart slowly by uniformitarian processes but in only about half-an-hour as widely reported including in the evolutionist LiveScience.com, "Land Speed Record: Mountain Moves 62 Miles in 30 Minutes." The evidence indicates that this mountain of rock covering 425 square miles rapidly broke into 50 pieces and slid apart over an area of more than 1,300 square miles in a biblical, not a "geological," timeframe.  * "150 Million" year-old Squid Ink Not Decomposed: This still-writable ink had dehydrated but had not decomposed! The British Geological Survey's Dr. Phil Wilby, who excavated the fossil, said, "It is difficult to imagine how you can have something as soft and sloppy as an ink sac fossilised in three dimensions, still black, and inside a rock that is 150 million years old." And the Daily Mail states that, "the black ink was of exactly the same structure as that of today's version", just desiccated. And Wilby added, "Normally you would find only the hard parts like the shell and bones fossilised but... these creatures... can be dissected as if they are living animals, you can see the muscle fibres and cells. It is difficult to imagine... The structure is similar to ink from a modern squid so we can write with it..." Why is this difficult for evolutionists to imagine? Because as Dr. Carl Wieland writes, "Chemical structures 'fall apart' all by themselves over time due to the randomizing effects of molecular motion."Decades ago Bob Enyart broadcast a geology program about Mount St. Helens' catastrophic destruction of forests and the hydraulic transportation and upright deposition of trees. Later, Bob met the chief ranger from Haleakala National Park on Hawaii's island of Maui, Mark Tanaka-Sanders. The ranger agreed to correspond with his colleague at Yellowstone to urge him to have the sign removed. Thankfully, it was then removed. (See also AIG, CMI, and all the original Yellowstone exhibit photos.) Groundbreaking research conducted by creation geologist Dr. Steve Austin in Spirit Lake after Mount St. Helens eruption provided a modern-day analog to the formation of Yellowstone fossil forest. A steam blast from that volcano blew over tens of thousands of trees leaving them without attached roots. Many thousands of those trees were floating upright in Spirit Lake, and began sinking at varying rates into rapidly and sporadically deposited sediments. Once Yellowstone's successive forest interpretation was falsified (though like with junk DNA, it's too big to fail, so many atheists and others still cling to it), the erroneous sign was removed. * Asiatic vs. European Honeybees: These two populations of bees have been separated supposedly for seven million years. A researcher decided to put the two together to see what would happen. What we should have here is a failure to communicate that would have resulted after their "language" evolved over millions of years. However, European and Asiatic honeybees are still able to communicate, putting into doubt the evolutionary claim that they were separated over "geologic periods." For more, see the Public Library of Science, Asiatic Honeybees Can Understand Dance Language of European Honeybees. (Oh yeah, and why don't fossils of poorly-formed honeycombs exist, from the millions of years before the bees and natural selection finally got the design right? Ha! Because they don't exist! :) Nautiloid proves rapid limestone formation. * Remember the Nautiloids: In the Grand Canyon there is a limestone layer averaging seven feet thick that runs the 277 miles of the canyon (and beyond) that covers hundreds of square miles and contains an average of one nautiloid fossil per square meter. Along with many other dead creatures in this one particular layer, 15% of these nautiloids were killed and then fossilized standing on their heads. Yes, vertically. They were caught in such an intense and rapid catastrophic flow that gravity was not able to cause all of their dead carcasses to fall over on their sides. Famed Mount St. Helens geologist Steve Austin is also the world's leading expert on nautiloid fossils and has worked in the canyon and presented his findings to the park's rangers at the invitation of National Park Service officials. Austin points out, as is true of many of the world's mass fossil graveyards, that this enormous nautiloid deposition provides indisputable proof of the extremely rapid formation of a significant layer of limestone near the bottom of the canyon, a layer like the others we've been told about, that allegedly formed at the bottom of a calm and placid sea with slow and gradual sedimentation. But a million nautiloids, standing on their heads, literally, would beg to differ. At our sister stie, RSR provides the relevant Geologic Society of America abstract, links, and video. *  Now It's Allegedly Two Million Year-Old Leaves: "When we started pulling leaves out of the soil, that was surreal, to know that it's millions of years old..." sur-re-al: adjective: a bizarre mix of fact and fantasy. In this case, the leaves are the facts. Earth scientists from Ohio State and the University of Minnesota say that wood and leaves they found in the Canadian Arctic are at least two million years old, and perhaps more than ten million years old, even though the leaves are just dry and crumbly and the wood still burns! * Gold Precipitates in Veins in Less than a Second: After geologists submitted for decades to the assumption that each layer of gold would deposit at the alleged super slow rates of geologic process, the journal Nature Geoscience reports that each layer of deposition can occur within a few tenths of a second. Meanwhile, at the Lihir gold deposit in Papua New Guinea, evolutionists assumed the more than 20 million ounces of gold in the Lihir reserve took millions of years to deposit, but as reported in the journal Science, geologists can now demonstrate that the deposit could have formed in thousands of years, or far more quickly! Iceland's not-so-old Surtsey Island looks ancient. * Surtsey Island, Iceland: Of the volcanic island that formed in 1963, New Scientist reported in 2007 about Surtsey that "geographers... marvel that canyons, gullies and other land features that typically take tens of thousands or millions of years to form were created in less than a decade." Yes. And Sigurdur Thorarinsson, Iceland's chief  geologist, wrote in the months after Surtsey formed, "that the time scale," he had been trained "to attach to geological developments is misleading." [For what is said to] take thousands of years... the same development may take a few weeks or even days here [including to form] a landscape... so varied and mature that it was almost beyond belief... wide sandy beaches and precipitous crags... gravel banks and lagoons, impressive cliffs… hollows, glens and soft undulating land... fractures and faultscarps, channels and screes… confounded by what met your eye... boulders worn by the surf, some of which were almost round... -Iceland's chief geologist * The Palouse River Gorge: In the southeast of Washington State, the Palouse River Gorge is one of many features formed rapidly by 500 cubic miles of water catastrophically released with the breaching of a natural dam in the Lake Missoula Flood (which gouged out the Scablands as described above). So, hard rock can be breached and eroded rapidly. * Leaf Shapes Identical for 190 Million Years?  From Berkley.edu, "Ginkgo biloba... dates back to... about 190 million years ago... fossilized leaf material from the Tertiary species Ginkgo adiantoides is considered similar or even identical to that produced by modern Ginkgo biloba trees... virtually indistinguishable..." The literature describes leaf shapes as "spectacularly diverse" sometimes within a species but especially across the plant kingdom. Because all kinds of plants survive with all kinds of different leaf shapes, the conservation of a species retaining a single shape over alleged deep time is a telling issue. Darwin's theory is undermined by the unchanging shape over millions of years of a species' leaf shape. This lack of change, stasis in what should be an easily morphable plant trait, supports the broader conclusion that chimp-like creatures did not become human beings and all the other ambitious evolutionary creation of new kinds are simply imagined. (Ginkgo adiantoides and biloba are actually the same species. Wikipedia states, "It is doubtful whether the Northern Hemisphere fossil species of Ginkgo can be reliably distinguished." For oftentimes, as documented by Dr. Carl Werner in his Evolution: The Grand Experiment series, paleontogists falsely speciate identical specimens, giving different species names, even different genus names, to the fossil and living animals that appear identical.) * Box Canyon, Idaho: Geologists now think Box Canyon in Idaho, USA, was carved by a catastrophic flood and not slowly over millions of years with 1) huge plunge pools formed by waterfalls; 2) the almost complete removal of large basalt boulders from the canyon; 3) an eroded notch on the plateau at the top of the canyon; and 4) water scour marks on the basalt plateau leading to the canyon. Scientists calculate that the flood was so large that it could have eroded the whole canyon in as little as 35 days. See the journal Science, Formation of Box Canyon, Idaho, by Megaflood, and the Journal of Creation, and Creation Magazine. * Manganese Nodules Rapid Formation: Allegedly, as claimed at the Wikipedia entry from 2005 through 2021: "Nodule growth is one of the slowest of all geological phenomena – in the order of a centimeter over several million years." Wow, that would be slow! And a Texas A&M Marine Sciences technical slide presentation says, “They grow very slowly (mm/million years) and can be tens of millions of years old", with RWU's oceanography textbook also putting it at "0.001 mm per thousand years." But according to a World Almanac documentary they have formed "around beer cans," said marine geologist Dr. John Yates in the 1997 video Universe Beneath the Sea: The Next Frontier. There are also reports of manganese nodules forming around ships sunk in the First World War. See more at at youngearth.com, at TOL, in the print edition of the Journal of Creation, and in this typical forum discussion with atheists (at the Chicago Cubs forum no less :). * "6,000 year-old" Mitochondrial Eve: As the Bible calls "Eve... the mother of all living" (Gen. 3:20), genetic researchers have named the one woman from whom all humans have descended "Mitochondrial Eve." But in a scientific attempt to date her existence, they openly admit that they included chimpanzee DNA in their analysis in order to get what they viewed as a reasonably old date of 200,000 years ago (which is still surprisingly recent from their perspective, but old enough not to strain Darwinian theory too much). But then as widely reported including by Science magazine, when they dropped the chimp data and used only actual human mutation rates, that process determined that Eve lived only six thousand years ago! In Ann Gibbon's Science article, "Calibrating the Mitochondrial Clock," rather than again using circular reasoning by assuming their conclusion (that humans evolved from ape-like creatures), they performed their calculations using actual measured mutation rates. This peer-reviewed journal then reported that if these rates have been constant, "mitochondrial Eve… would be a mere 6000 years old." See also the journal Nature and creation.com's "A shrinking date for Eve," and Walt Brown's assessment. Expectedly though, evolutionists have found a way to reject their own unbiased finding (the conclusion contrary to their self-interest) by returning to their original method of using circular reasoning, as reported in the American Journal of Human Genetics, "calibrating against recent evidence for the divergence time of humans and chimpanzees,"  to reset their mitochondrial clock back to 200,000 years. * Even Younger Y-Chromosomal Adam: (Although he should be called, "Y-Chromosomal Noah.") While we inherit our mtDNA only from our mothers, only men have a Y chromosome (which incidentally genetically disproves the claim that the fetus is "part of the woman's body," since the little boy's y chromosome could never be part of mom's body). Based on documented mutation rates on and the extraordinary lack of mutational differences in this specifically male DNA, the Y-chromosomal Adam would have lived only a few thousand years ago! (He's significantly younger than mtEve because of the genetic bottleneck of the global flood.) Yet while the Darwinian camp wrongly claimed for decades that humans were 98% genetically similar to chimps, secular scientists today, using the same type of calculation only more accurately, have unintentionally documented that chimps are about as far genetically from what makes a human being a male, as mankind itself is from sponges! Geneticists have found now that sponges are 70% the same as humans genetically, and separately, that human and chimp Y chromosomes are  "horrendously" 30%

Episode 142: Tirzepatide IIFuture Dr. Beuca explains that tirzepatide has shown benefits in patients with obesity that go beyond its weight-reducing effects and includes reduction of blood pressure, among others. Dr. Arreaza explains that Wegovy (semaglutide approved for weight loss) is also very beneficial for weight loss and explains.  Written by Maria Beuca, MSIV, Ross University School of Medicine. Comments by Hector Arreaza, MD.You are listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast, your weekly dose of knowledge brought to you by the Rio Bravo Family Medicine Residency Program from Bakersfield, California, a UCLA-affiliated program sponsored by Clinica Sierra Vista, Let Us Be Your Healthcare Home. This podcast was created for educational purposes only. Visit your primary care provider for additional medical advice.Maria: Hello everyone, today is June 2, 2023, and we want to re-visit our discussion about the drug Tirzepatide from our May 19th, 2022. A little re-cap for those of you who don't know, tirzepatide, also known by the brand name Mounjaro, is a drug that was approved by the FDA a year ago for the treatment of type 2 Diabetes. It is similar to the drug Semaglutide, also known by the brand name Ozempic which many of you may be more familiar with, thanks to the Kardashians and other celebrities making it popular as a “weight loss” drug. Arreaza: The brand name for weight semaglutide is Wegovy.Maria: Both of these drugs are injected once a week and mimic the effect of the incretin hormone GLP-1 by binding to its receptor. Incretin hormones are a group of hormones that cause insulin to be released from the pancreas after eating to help lower blood sugar levels.  These incretin hormones also help suppress the appetite, causing you to eat less and lose weight. Tirzepatide is different because it is the first drug to mimic the action of two hormones, both GLP-1 and GIP. In our last episode, we also discussed the SURPASS-2 study that showed tirzepatide to be superior to semaglutide because of this dual incretin action, with greater weight loss, lower HA1c levels, and lower triglyceride and VLDL levels. At that time, we also mentioned the SURMOUNT-1 Phase 3 clinical trial that was ongoing at the time. Well, it is now complete, and the results are in. There were 2,539 obese or overweight participants without diabetes in the study who lost between 16-22.5% of their starting weight on Tirzepatide. On 15 mg dose, participants lost about 52 lbs (24 kg), on 10 mg 49 lbs (22 kg) and on 5 mg about 35 lbs (16 kg), but those on the placebo lost only 2.4% or about 5 lbs (2 kg). As you can see there is very little difference in weight loss between the 10 mg dose and the 15 mg dose, although a big difference is seen compared to the 5 mg dose. It's important to note that they took Tirzepatide for 72 weeks or a year and a half. Arreaza: That's very significant weight loss. It is important to emphasize that these patients did NOT have diabetes. Maria: These weight loss results have proven to be comparable to bariatric surgery. The study also showed improvement in cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors such as lower blood pressure, fasting insulin, lipid levels and even aspartate aminotransferase levels in comparison to the placebo. By the end of the study, more than 95% of the participants who had pre-diabetes had converted to normal glucose levels. This study was so impressive that it was presented at the 82nd Scientific Sessions of the American Diabetes Association and was also published in The New England Journal of Medicine. Arreaza: It seems like tirzepatide is ahead of the game for weight loss.Maria: Although it is approved as a drug for diabetes, the next step is to approve it for weight loss and to begin treating obesity as a chronic disease that needs to be treated. Maria: And this makes sense. Currently, more than 4 in 10 American adults have obesity, and obesity is the cause of many other conditions. Just yesterday, I was seeing patients in the orthopedic clinic and I had several patients being seen for knee pain due to obesity, and they are postponing surgery because they have been losing weight on tirzepatide and are already feeling better. I think avoiding knee surgery alone is a pretty good reason to approve these drugs for weight loss, but there are many other conditions that are improved by weight loss. Arreaza: My anecdotes are related to semaglutide, but I can imagine that this may also apply to tirzepatide. I had a patient who was able to stop all antihypertensive medications because of 40-lb weight loss. Maria: Dr. Caroline Apovian, director of the Center for Weight Management and Wellness at Brigham Women's Hospital, states that “If everybody who had obesity in this country lost 20% of their body weight, we would be taking patients off all these medications for reflux, for diabetes, for hypertension. We would not be sending patients for stent replacement.”Maria: Last month, officials from Eli Lilly, the company that makes tirzepatide, stated that they are hoping to have a fast-track approval to sell it for chronic weight management by sometime this year. The problem is that many of these patients who were prescribed Tirzepatide have not been able to get it because it has been out of stock for the last few months in all the local pharmacies. They get the prescription, start taking Tirzepatide and begin to lose weight or improve their blood sugar levels and then it is out of stock and now you have people with Diabetes who have gotten off insulin because Tirzepatide worked so well and suddenly they can't get it and are at risk for getting pretty sick without it. Arreaza: The manufacturer of Wegovy announced this, “we will only be able to supply limited quantities of 0.25 mg, 0.5 mg, and 1 mg dose strengths to wholesalers for distribution to retail pharmacies which will not meet anticipated patient demand. We anticipate that many patients will have difficulty filling Wegovy® prescriptions at these doses through September 2023. We do not currently anticipate supply interruptions of the 1.7 mg and 2.4 mg dose strengths of Wegovy®”. Why is this happening? Maria: The problem is that this drug was not meant for the masses, for all these young girls wanting to lose a few pounds for aesthetic reasons. It was meant for people with a BMI 30 or with a BMI 27 plus another comorbidity such as hypertension. Celebrities have brought attention to these drugs for weight loss, for example Ozempic has over 433 million views on TikTok. It has gotten so bad that people are turning to questionable sources online to purchase these drugs, where it is given cute names like “skinny shots.” And if your insurance does not cover Tirzepatide, it is still expensive, starting at around $1000 per month. Some of the insurers who used to cover the cost stopped covering it or placed new restrictions on who qualifies. Another downside is that tirzepatide and other drugs of this class have not been on the market that long, so the long-term effects are still not known. So far, early evidence shows that most people gain the weight back as soon as they stop taking it, so are the weight loss benefits sustainable at this high cost? Maria: We talked about the adverse effects in the last episode, but it's important to go over them again. Patients can have diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, constipation, and abdominal pain that can often bring these patients into the clinic or even the Emergency room thinking they are ill, when in fact it is an adverse effect of their medication, especially the first few days of starting or increasing the dose. So, educating patients is very important before they start this new drug. There is also a small risk of pancreatitis or gallbladder problems, so it is important to have blood work done to check the pancreas and gallbladder prior to starting tirzepatide. There is also a warning to avoid using it if you have a family or personal history of thyroid cancer. Arreaza: Reminder, MEN type 1. I would like to mention the so-called “Ozempic face”. It is the face you get with rapid weight loss, making you look a little older due to fat loss on the face. As a summary, tirzepatide is a very effective medication for weight loss, pending FDA approval. It is not free of side effects, so we still need to follow the recommendations from FDA and other reputable sources to prescribe it responsibly. There is room for further research on these medications. Currently, there are no clear guidelines regarding labs before starting treatment (lipase?) or labs for monitoring after treatment. The evidence regarding these medications continues to evolve and we should stay up to date with the changes. _______________________Conclusion: Now we conclude episode number 142 “Tirzepatide II.” Future Dr. Beuca came back almost one year later to shed more light on the use of tirzepatide in the treatment of obesity. Dr. Arreaza provided some insight into the management of side effects and the potential harm of this novel medication. Overall, tirzepatide is effective and safe and may be the answer to many of our patients with diabetes and obesity. This week we thank Hector Arreaza and Maria Beuca.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 1, 2022 is: leviathan • luh-VYE-uh-thun • noun A leviathan is something large or formidable. // Towering leviathans of the forest, these giant sequoias often reach heights of more than 200 feet. See the entry > Examples: "The Juno probe has been tasked with studying a leviathan: Jupiter, the heavyweight of the Solar System, King of the Planets." — Michelle Starr, Science Alert, 23 Mar. 2022 Did you know? Old Testament references to a huge sea monster, Leviathan (in Hebrew, Liwyāthān), are thought to come from an ancient myth in which the god Baal slays a multiheaded sea monster. Leviathan appears in the Book of Psalms, as a sea serpent that is killed by God and then given as food to creatures in the wilderness, and it is mentioned in the Book of Job as well. Today, its name is used for "something monstrous or of enormous size."
