If you listen to this podcast for any length of time, you'll know that I believe the way forward is predicated on our finding shared values—I'd go for integrity, compassion, courage and generosity of spirit as the baselines—and then a suite of clear asks in the outer world and needs in the inner world.  In logistical terms, at an absolute baseline, we need Clean Air, Clean Water, Clean Soil. These are non negotiable and the fact that we currently have none of these is a grim indictment of how much we live in an economy that sucks the life out of everything rather than a society that grows. But we do have people who are working flat out to change the narrative on exactly these topics and this week's guest, Tim Smedley, is one of these.  Tim is an award-winning sustainability journalist who has worked with the BBC, the Guardian, Sunday Times and Financial Times. He is also a celebrated non-fiction writer. His first book, Clearing the Air: The Beginning and the End of Air Pollution, was shortlisted for the UK's Royal Society Science Book Prize. His latest: The Last Drop: Solving the World's Water Crisis was a Times Book of the Year and has been described as 'Smart, Sobering and Scholarly' which it certainly is.This is one of those books that's both terrifying, utterly compelling and—I'm glad to say—ultimately inspiring.  Yes, the world's water is in a desperate state.  Yes, it has been horribly mismanaged almost everywhere by the kleptocracy that masquerades as a democracy in our modern world.  But yes, we do have responses that will work, they have been carefully explored and water is one of those unifying elements that brings people together across tribal boundaries. We all need clean water and getting there means we need to find common principles by which we can live. Spoiler alert: turning water into a for-profit commodity is not a part of the solution.  Regenerative agriculture, re-Wilding our waters, beavers (yay!) and sane water saving/sparing practices definitely are. Tim is so knowledgeable and his books are both brilliantly researched and utterly personal.  He goes to the places he writes about and his first-hand experiences are priceless.  I have put links in the show notes for both of his books, plus the Medium article on DeGrowth which is where I first came across his work.  Please do explore afterwards.

We live in a world of invisible circulation. It swirls in us and around us at all times, transporting and exchanging all things good and bad, some natural, some man-made. This week we're discussing the ocean-fresh water system--the full global circulation, from mountaintop to abyssal plain, upon which all life depends. About World Ocean Radio World Ocean Radio is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays available for syndicated use at no cost by college and community radio stations worldwide.

Alec, Cameron, Cooper, and John dive into some WATER trivia this week!

A conversation with Louis De Jaeger, international keynote speaker, author, award-winning filmmaker, and landscape designer, about dreams, action, and storytelling—how to reach and touch people. We discuss why storytelling is highly underrated and underfunded, and why he is organizing a festival—not the next Burning Man, but a regeneration festival.He shares his excitement about small water cycle restoration, the biotic pump, and much more. And in the end, it all boils down to one simple message: Eat More Trees.During his 5-year sabbatical that turned into a lifelong mission to regenerate landscapes, Louis' revelation came during world travels where he witnessed environmental degradation firsthand—monoculture landscapes so depressing "you want to drive against a tree, but there are no trees." This observation sparked his mission to regenerate 550 million hectares of land globally, potentially cooling our planet by two degrees Celsius.Beyond the environmental benefits, Louis paints a compelling vision of a regenerative future characterized by abundance rather than sacrifice. "We're going to have an even more luxurious lifestyle, we're going to have better food that tastes fantastic" he assures us. His approach isn't about shaming people into environmentalism but showing how regenerative practices create healthier, more desirable lives.More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/louis-de-jaeger.==========================In Investing in Regenerative Agriculture and Food podcast show we talk to the pioneers in the regenerative food and agriculture space to learn more on how to put our money to work to regenerate soil, people, local communities and ecosystems while making an appropriate and fair return.

March 22nd is World Water Day, a celebration of what Jacques Cousteau called The Great Hydrosphere, expanded beyond Ocean to include the entirety of the water cycle: the one natural system that controls our planet's utility. From mountaintop to abyssal plain, water is the great circulatory system that connects all things. This week on World Ocean Radio we pay homage to water, without which we would not exist. Think about it: where and when is water not present in our lives? About World Ocean Radio World Ocean Radio is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays available for syndicated use at no cost by college and community radio stations worldwide.

What is the State of Agriculture in 2025 in America? How do we substantively make a difference in 2025 in American Agriculture? Gabe Brown and Dr. Allen Williams join me to discuss their understanding of where we are in agriculture and how we make real progress in a regenerative direction. Thanks to our Studio Sponsor,...

A conversation with Ali Bin Shahid, an engineer with a deep background in permaculture (and a military one too), a passion for modelling and one of the very few people using data and engineering approaches to tackle critical questions about regeneration. We explore how to put numbers to abstract ideas like slowing water down, spreading it, and soaking it. What does "slow" actually mean? How do we measure it—by kilometres per hour, or some other metric? How much regeneration is required to restore rivers or trigger rains in a given landscape? And, for example, where globally do we have the biggest potential? Where is the biggest gap between the forest and water potential and the current situation on the ground? It's definitely possible to manage a few acres or a few hectares through observation, if you're there for many decades or even through different generations. But as soon as we start talking about regeneration at the landscape level, we need numbers. We need numbers and models. Surprisingly, a lot is already possible: we can calculate to a relatively detailed degree, what certain flows of air, water, and moisture will look like in a landscape. This means you can start to calculate and imagine, almost at a parcel level, where we need to regenerate in order to restore, for instance, summer rains and year-round rivers.But the surprising part is how few people are doing this work. Ali is at the forefront, bridging the gap between philosophical principles of water cycle restoration and practical, data-driven solutions. Together, we delve into early but exciting efforts to quantify these ideas: how much water to slow, where the global potential lies, and the vast gaps between current conditions and what's achievable. ---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/ali-bin-shahid.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

The face of war is changing quickly: cheap, unmanned, versatile drones and remotely operated aircraft, coupled with rapidly-advancing technology, ambiguous algorithms, accountability, and responsibility are shifting the shapes of war around the globe, especially as it pertains to the unseen and largely unmonitored high seas. With a world struggling to keep up, the instruments of war are becoming invisible, ephemeral and uncontrollable.

GPM uses an advanced radar and radiometer system to measure precipitation from space, helping us better understand our water cycle.

Cabot Institute for the Environment scientists, Dr Gemma Coxon and Dr Ross Woods, highlight some surprising facts about the water system and how nature based solutions to drought and floods may not serve the purpose we want, especially if implemented without sufficient prior research.

It has been nearly twenty years since the Ocean Literacy Principles and Framework were first adopted by classroom educators to promote the ocean as a central focus for climate, water, food, health, exploration, science, and more. Today it has been incorporated into the agenda of the UN IOC; it seems Ocean Literacy is riding a new wave of interest and possibility. This week on World Ocean Radio we are laying out the basic tenets and truths of Ocean Literacy, describing the foundational assumptions that underlie the matrix, including the first principle: the earth is one big ocean with many features. About World Ocean Radio World Ocean Radio is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays available for syndicated use at no cost by college and community radio stations worldwide.

Eustacy is a word used to describe worldwide changes of sea level. This is a new word for us: even though it seems we live in a eustatic world. We're using this newly-discovered word to distill the five areas of our existence where the ocean matters most: fresh water, the ocean-fresh water continuum, energy, food, health, and exchange. About World Ocean Radio World Ocean Radio is a weekly series of five-minute audio essays available for syndicated use at no cost by college and community radio stations worldwide.

In this episode, we chat with Erica Gies, award-winning journalist and author of Water Always Wins: Thriving in an Age of Drought and Deluge. We explore the complex relationships between water, nature, and human societies, emphasizing the need to embrace 'slow water'—respecting the natural rhythms of water's cycles for the benefit of both human and nonhuman life. Highlights include: Erica's personal decision not to have biological children as both a personal choice and a contribution to reducing human pressure on the planet; The concept of 'slow water' and allowing for water's natural cycles on the land contrasted with modern, infrastructure-heavy approaches that focus on controlling water; The broader implications of population growth on water and the need to address this issue within environmental and degrowth movements; The hidden complexity of natural systems in water ecology and the need to both appreciate our ignorance of these natural systems' complexity while also working to understand them better in order to live more in harmony with the natural world; The significance of traditional knowledge and ecological wisdom in living more in harmony with natural water cycles.  See episode website for show notes, links, and transcript:  https://www.populationbalance.org/podcast/erica-gies ABOUT US The Overpopulation Podcast features enlightening conversations between Population Balance executive director Nandita Bajaj, researcher Alan Ware, and expert guests that draw the connections between pronatalism, human supremacy, social inequalities, and ecological overshoot.

--Please remember that it helps to support us on Spotify. --Sorry for being gone so long! I was on a trip and couldn't make an episode. But now that I'm back, enjoy this episode about dinosaurs, which is probably going to be kids' favorite! Also, I put up 2 new games on the website! One is Chocolate Factory, and the other one is Pixel Stick Dino. They're both great! In this episode, we'll talk about fossils, how they went extinct, fun facts, and more! I hope you enjoy it! Transcript (From Script) Who wants to play a game about chocolate? Do you? If you do, check out the Kids Learning Lab website and look at the home page. You can't miss it! Our website is at kidslearninglab.weebly.com. Now, time for today's episode, which might be one of your favorites, dinosaurs. How do we know dinosaurs existed? Well, that's all because of fossils. Fossils are the dead bodies of the dinosaurs that we can dig up. From there we can make guesses about what the dinosaur did. For example, if the dinosaur's teeth were flat and big, we would guess it was a vegetarian. Dinosaurs who ate veggies usually had flat teeth that were strong for chomping up plants. Meat-eating dinosaurs usually had sharp, pointy teeth. They needed these for either eating other dinosaurs or eating small animals. Now, I have a question for you. Do you know how the dinosaurs went extinct? Hint: extinct means not existing anymore. Some of you might know the answer. If you don't that's okay! A lot of people are still wondering how it happened, but they do have some ideas. Idea 1: A meteor hit Earth off the coast of Mexico and created so much smoke that the sun was covered. Before we talk about this, I just thought of a fun fact. Did you know every type of energy came from the sun? Plants need light from the sun, and a lot of people eat plants. Even if you eat meat, those animals still had to eat plants which got energy from the sun. Windmills and wind turbines still get energy from the sun, believe it or not. Wind is actually what happens when hot air rises up and cold air takes its place. Hot stuff always rises. And the reason the hot air is hot is because of the sun. Solar panels get energy from the sun, and water power is still going because of rain, which is also powered by the sun. You can check out our Water Cycle episode, our Solar System episode, our Comet episode, our Moon episode, our Aurora episode, and our Gravity episode for more on that. Okay, back to the idea that a meteor hit Earth and created smoke to block the sun. This is an idea that 70-90% of people believe. A meteoroid is a piece of rock that is flying through outer space. When it enters our atmosphere, it is a meteor. Usually, the rocks burn up here. Sometimes, the rocks survive, and land on our surface, and are called meteorites. This specific meteorite contained iridium and when it landed, lots of ash and smoke covered the sun. Remember like 45 seconds ago, when we were talking about how every energy is from the sun? Well, all of the dinosaurs' energy was also from the sun. So, they died. Idea 2: A volcano. Some people (5-10%) say that the smoke and ash still was present, but it was from a volcano, not a meteor. This could be possible, since scientists have found a large field full of ash and igneous rock in West India. (Check out our Rock Cycle episode for more on types of rock.) Anyways, this field could mean a volcano wiped out the dinosaurs. Idea 3: A disease Very few people (1-2%) believe it was a disease that killed the dinosaurs. There is very few evidence about this, but it could be possible. If you don't know what a disease is, it's when a species, for example dinosaurs, get sick because of these tiny little germs in your body. Thanks for listening to this episode of Kids Learning Lab!

In this episode of The Founder Spirit, the trailblazing Atossa Soltani, Founder and Board President of Amazon Watch, shares her journey of becoming a leading voice in protecting the Amazon rainforest and defending the rights of its indigenous population. She discusses her formative experiences witnessing the Iranian Revolution, and also talks about her aha moment when the Gaia Hypothesis really resonated with her. She highlights the Amazon rainforest, the heart of our planet, being at an irreversible tipping point, and the urgent need to reverse deforestation. As the current Director of Global Strategy at Amazon Sacred Headwaters, an alliance of 30 Indigenous nations to permanently protect 86 million acres of rainforests in the most biologically diverse ecosystem on Earth, Atossa also underscores the outsized role that the Indigenous Peoples play in protecting Gaia as environmental defenders, and the lessons from their worldviews and traditional knowledge. She acknowledges that in order to realize a grander vision for the world, it requires a paradigm shift in our collective consciousness from material wealth to collective harmony and wellbeing, and a holistic perspective that recognizes the sacredness of life and our interconnectedness with nature. By mimicking nature's genius and adopting nature's principles, we can create a world that is in harmony with the web of life.Just how did Atossa become a leading voice in protecting the Amazon Rainforest and defending rights of its Indigenous population?

Rodney completed a BSc in Physics from the University of New Brunswick and subsequently worked as a research assistant for UNB in a CO2 laser lab before attending University of Toronto on an NSERC scholarship where he completed an MASc in electrical engineering.  His graduate work was modeling and simulation of a semiconductor device-physics industrial problem, a solution he later presented at an international modeling and simulation conference in Pittsburg.  He has spent over 35 years working in industry in telecom chip design, fiber-optics, computing, and LED lighting.   He was involved in modeling and simulation activity for some of the projects he worked on including writing an Excel-based simulator 15 years ago to solve a complex electrical network problem.   In 2022, Rodney took on a personal challenge to see if he could calculate the temperature rise for an increase in GHGs.   His interest became an obsession which led to his development of a comprehensive tool he calls GHG Lab that implements his understanding of the GHG physics and a website called Climate Bell to share it with others.   Now, anyone even without any physics understanding, can use his GHG Lab tool to compute Earth's temperature change from a change in GHG levels.  The tool has produced interesting and good-news results that he wishes to share with threatened industries so they can defend their interests against unnecessary climate-change mandates.  He has also setup an open peer review forum so scientists can publicly comment too. 00:00 Meet Rodney McInnis: A Journey from Physics to Climate Modeling 00:40 Introducing Climate Bell: A New Approach to Greenhouse Gas Modeling 01:31 The Science and Skepticism Behind Climate Bell 01:58 GHG Lab: A Revolutionary Tool for Climate Analysis 03:02 Shifting Perspectives on Climate Change Over 25 Years 03:25 The Making of GHG Lab: From Inspiration to Innovation 04:28 Demystifying the Greenhouse Gas Effect: A Deep Dive 06:04 Puzzle Pieces of Climate Modeling: Building a New Framework 36:13 GHG Lab in Action: Demonstrating Precision in Climate Modeling 41:28 Debunking Climate Change Myths with GHG Lab 42:00 Exploring the Impact of Methane and Nitrous Oxide 42:43 The Complexities of the Water Cycle and Climate Modeling 46:40 Live Demo of GHG Lab: A Deep Dive 51:00 Addressing Climate Change Industry Flaws 52:39 Revisiting Venus: A New Perspective on Greenhouse Effects 56:32 Engaging with the Community: Peer Review and Educational Tools 58:33 Debunking Popular Climate Change Alarms 01:00:50 GHG Lab: A Tool for Change and Education 01:03:16 Final Thoughts and Call to Action Slides for this podcast: https://tomn.substack.com/p/a-novel-engineering-approach-to-precision Climate Bell's learning center:  https://www.climatebell.org/learn.html Download GHG Lab:  https://www.climatebell.org/calculator.html Climate Bell's peer review forum:  https://climatebell.createaforum.com/index.php X: https://twitter.com/ClimateBell ========= AI summaries of all of my podcasts: https://tomn.substack.com/p/podcast-summaries About Tom Nelson: https://linktr.ee/tomanelson1 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL89cj_OtPeenLkWMmdwcT8Dt0DGMb8RGR X: https://twitter.com/TomANelson Substack: https://tomn.substack.com/ About Tom: https://tomn.substack.com/about

It's a surprisingly rewarding journey, as the desert itself puts Biodiversity under a "microscope." The intricacy of species and their biological niches, their interdependence and dependence on systems interactions revealed, guide us in our steps forward, gaining new knowledge, moving into a world of adaptation to climate and into our own ever evolving thinking.

As we are wrapping up 2023 we look back at a year which feels even crazier than 2022. Another war has started and we have been flooded literally with extreme weather events. Every month seems to have been the warmest, driest, wettest etc. in history! Let's look at what we covered and learned in the podcast:This Changes Everything: Cooling the PlanetWhat if water is more important than carbon? It's the question posed by Alpha Lo, physicist and writer of the Climate Water Project, about the importance of slowing water down, the connection between drought, fire, and floods, and the massive role water plays in heating and cooling our planet. We hosted many other conversations, a full series on Water Cycle, about this key (and neglected) topic. Rodger Savory, joined us to talk about scale and cows, how to kickstart regeneration in desert situations, changing local weather patterns, abundance, soil bacteria, conventional agriculture, WW2 and much more. Neal Spackman rejoined the podcast and shared why it is so difficult to to raise funding for this kind of projects while professor Millàn Millàn explained how to restore the small water cycle in the Mediterranean, why the summer storms and rains have disappeared and how this turned out to be connected to massive snows in the UK and massive floods in Central Europe.“Healthy forests invest their capital to create their own rain” said Anastassia Makarieva because, according to the latest science, healthy ecosystems, and specifically healthy forests, regulate moisture and thus rain.

A conversation with Tim Coates, co-founder of Oxbury Bank, the UK's only specialist agricultural bank, about flood risk mitigation, water quality, water cycle restoration, selling flood mitigation to institutional investors and much more.Tim Coast, a third-generation farmer founded an agriculture focussed bank. He argues that the best place to start (at least in the UK) water cycle restoration might be selling flood mitigation to institutional investors and other institutional players suffering from bad watershed management like the drinking water companies trying to make sure we have clean drinking water, insurance companies who pay when businesses and houses flood, the reinsurance companies that pick up the final bill, the towns which get regular flooding, the railways, etc. It doesn't make sense to sell the cooling effect of healthy water cycles and ecosystems to people who are not on board yet. According to Tim, you will lose too much time on education and convincing and... we don't have time!---------------------------------------------------Join our Gumroad community, discover the tiers and benefits on www.gumroad.com/investinginregenag. Support our work:Share itGive a 5-star ratingBuy us a coffee… or a meal! www.Ko-fi.com/regenerativeagriculture----------------------------------------------------More about this episode on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/tim-coates.Find our video course on https://investinginregenerativeagriculture.com/course.----------------------------------------------------The above references an opinion and is for information and educational purposes only.

This week on the RESCUE series we're continuing our discussion of the water cycle and the ways it defines our cultural identity from global to local. We are surrounded by evidence of our cultural ocean: we see it at all shores both fresh and salt, we see it the location of our settlements, in our bridges and dams, in fishing vessels and practices, in ports, and so much more. In this episode we'll explore these myriad connections in depth.World Ocean Radio offers five-minute weekly insights that dive into ocean science, advocacy and education, hosted by Peter Neill, Director of the W2O, author, and lifelong ocean advocate.

The lack of enforcement is also jeopardizing the overall health of the customers who support the organic movement; customers who are not getting what they pay for at market but still paying a premium price. And the lack of enforcement is jeopardizing the very cycles (water, air, nutrients) that Earth relies upon to provide us all with a place to live, by pushing extractive, chemical agriculture to the forefront.If you like what you hear and are feeling inspired, we would love for you to join our movement by becoming one of our 1,000  Real Friends:https://www.realorganicproject.org/real-organic-friends/To read our weekly newsletter (which might just be the most forwarded newsletter on the internet!) and get firsthand news about what's happening with organic food, farming and policy, please subscribe here:https://www.realorganicproject.org/email/

Aquatic ecotoxicologist Marco Vighi is studying the water cycle in agriculture and presence of plastics. He shares vital information with listeners such as: The different sizes and sources of plastic in our water such as micro, macro, and nano plastics; The concern for acute aquatic toxicity and why our inability to measure nano plastics is concerning; and What we do know about the types of plastic sources that harm marine wildlife. Former professor and researcher Marco Vighi works with the IMDEA Water Institute studying acute aquatic toxicity and ecology risk assessment. He's following the water cycle in agriculture, from rivers to irrigation to agricultural application and back to surface water.  He begins by explaining it is better to understand in general the origin of micro plastics and consider that nano plastics are the unknown—we don't know anything about their presence because we don't have the tools to measure them or know if they are crossing cell barriers.

He explains to listeners that there are two types of micro plastics: first, ones that are intentionally produced at a micro level for products like cosmetics and toothpaste; and second, non-intentionally produced micro plastics derived from the fragmentation of bigger plastics, from synthetic clothing fibers, and from roadside products like tire pieces. He adds that while regulations are in play for the first type, which is less concerning, there is little in the way to control the second type. buy strattera online buy strattera over the counter online pharmacyHe explains more about the technical aspects of how these plastics fragment, how ubiquitous they are, and additional struggles with understanding nano plastic activity. buy albuterol online buy albuterol over the counter online pharmacy For more information, he urges listeners to comb through information with care, learning what is accurate and what isn't. buy lipitor online buy lipitor over the counter online pharmacyFinally, he says that packaging makes up the majority of harmful plastic and is a source that we can replace with alternate  materials and must tackle.

What do we do when the science in the bible seems wrong by today's standards, but typical for their world? For example, those who believe in a flat earth often point to scripture as evidence for their belief. Indeed the bible arguably does contain some texts that imply a flat earth. But, if the Hebrew people believed in a flat earth, does that mean we should today? Should we posit an elaborate conspiracy that Google, SpaceX, and NASA are trying to hide the truth of a flat earth? In addition to tackling scientific inaccuracies, Will Barlow will also cover many scientific accuracies that point to divine inspiration in scripture.

Who is Sean Finnegan?  Read his bio here —— Notes —— Science in the Bible • Cases when the science is “wrong”• Cases when the science is “right”• Overview and concluding thoughts Cases when the science is “wrong” • Flat Earth• Dome over the Earth• Unmovable Earth• Foundations of the Earth• Thinking with your intestines Flat Earth Isaiah 40:22   It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them like a tent to dwell in; Daniel 4:10-11   The visions of my head as I lay in bed were these: I saw, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great. The tree grew and became strong, and its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth. Matthew 4:8   Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. Dome over the Earth Job 37:18   Can you, like him, spread out the skies, hard as a cast metal mirror? This question by Elihu assumes a hard dome over the Earth — must have been a common belief of that time. Psalms 19:1   To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. See also Job 9:8, Psalms 102:25, Isaiah 45:12, and Isaiah 48:13. Unmovable Earth 1 Chronicles 16:30   tremble before him, all the earth; yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved. Psalms 93:1   The LORD reigns; he is robed in majesty; the LORD is robed; he has put on strength as his belt. Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved. See also Psalms 96:10 and Isaiah 45:18. Foundations of the Earth Psalms 104:5   He set the earth on its foundations, so that it should never be moved. See also Job 38:4, Isaiah 48:13, and Hebrews 1:10. Heart/kidneys The Bible often speaks of the heart and kidneys in ways that are not medically accurate. Ancient people had particular views about these things — this doesn't mean that we should believe these things in the same way that they did. John Walton on God “Correcting” Science Giving an analogy from the ancient view of the liver, kidneys, and intestines: “Yet we must notice that when God wanted to talk to the Israelites about their intellect, emotions, and will, he did not revise their ideas of physiology and feel compelled to reveal the function of the brain. Instead, he adopted the language of the culture to communicate in terms they understood.”— John Walton, The Lost World of Genesis One, page 16. Cases when the science is “right” • Numbering the stars• Gravity?• Meteorology • Ocean Currents• Human composition• Medicine Numbering the Stars Genesis 22:17   I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies, See also Jeremiah 33:22. Gravity? Job 26:7   He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth on nothing. This may not be describing gravity, but I believe it could be consistent with gravity. Meteorology Job 28:25-26   When he gave to the wind its weight and apportioned the waters by measure, when he made a decree for the rain and a way for the lightning of the thunder, The idea that molecules in air have weight is a recent scientific discovery. Ecclesiastes 1:6   The wind blows to the south and goes around to the north; around and around goes the wind, and on its circuits the wind returns. This looks like it is describing the jet streams and air currents. Psalms 135:7   He it is who makes the clouds rise at the end of the earth, who makes lightnings for the rain and brings forth the wind from his storehouses. This looks like it is describing the water cycle. Job 36:27-29   For he draws up the drops of water; they distill his mist in rain, which the skies pour down and drop on mankind abundantly. Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds, the thunderings of his pavilion? This looks like it is describing the water cycle. Ocean Currents Psalms 8:8   the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas. Matthew Fontaine Maury believed this verse and discovered ocean currents. Now, this is accepted scientific fact that there are large “paths of the seas.” Human Composition Genesis 2:7   then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. The same elements that make up the Earth's crust also compose human bodies. Medicine Leviticus 13:46   He shall remain unclean as long as he has the disease. He is unclean. He shall live alone. His dwelling shall be outside the camp. This is describing what we would now call quarantine. See also Numbers 12:14-15. The Bible also describes hand washing, quarantine after battle, refining metals with fire, etc. All of these are good ideas from our perspective of modern medicine. But the most amazing example? Circumcision on the eighth day, when Vitamin K levels are at their peak naturally. Overview• We want to believe the worldview that explains the most evidence• There are many ways to read Genesis 1, but the primary goal is to ask and answer the questions that the original readers would have had • There are many ways to reconcile Scripture and each branch of science• The Big Bang points to a Creator• Fine-tuning points to a Creator • The wonder around us in the natural world, whether we think evolution is the right mechanism or not, points to a Creator• Miracles can be understood as God working within His laws in many cases Concluding Thoughts At the end of the day, I believe science points to God's existence.There is no greater God than the God of the Bible, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ. Science does not have to be a barrier to the gospel message — it can supplement and support it.

This week, guest Veda Austin invites us to consider and grow closer to water – as both a preciously vital and often overlooked life source. Veda's work researching and making art with water has allowed her an intimate look into water's role on Earth and within our lives. Water is our companion, and more than just companion, it is what makes us. We are continually obliged to water, and it to us, as we are in an interdependent relationship with it. Veda calls us to investigate our liquid selves – the tears and sweat that make us human, the rituals of baptism and bathing that connect us to that which lies beyond. As Veda states, water is always in search of itself. How might understanding water begin to help us in our search for ourselves?Touching on her healing journey, art, practice, and methods of working with water as collaborator, Veda highlights curiosity, closeness, and tenderness as guiding principles. Continually on a learning journey, Veda's work shows what is possible when water is seen as source rather than as commodity. This episode reminds us of the wisdom we inherently hold alongside the grand scale of that which we have left to learn.  Veda is a water researcher, public speaker, mother, artist and author. She has dedicated the last 8 years observing and photographing the life of water. She believes that water is fluid intelligence, observing itself through every living organism on the planet and in the Universe. Her primary area of focus is photographing water in its ‘state of creation', the space between liquid and ice. It is through her remarkable crystallographic photos that water reveals its awareness of not only Creation, but thought and intention through imagery.Music by Strong Sun Moon/Camelia Jade and Doe Paoro.

I'll keep today's intro real short because this is a long episode. The short of it is that my good friend Nick Steiner and I have been diving real deep into the topic of landscape hydrology and water cycle restoration both on our own properties and through our work with clients and farmers all around Europe. In the process we've become complete nerds about this topic and all of the incredible potential that working with water systems can have for the ecology and quality of life where it's applied appropriately. So today, Nick and I are just gonna lay it all out and summarize some of the many learnings we've gathered through courses, research, personal experience and case studies from our work. We'll be looking at hydrological work through small home scale actions to massive regional and country level policy change and transformation.  So instead of explaining all of this twice, let's just jump right in.  Join the discord discussion channel to answer the weekly questions and learn new skills with the whole community Links: Contact us to schedule a free water project planning session https://www.linkedin.com/in/oliver-goshey-17a518122/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/steiner-nick/ https://www.instagram.com/permanick_permaculture/ https://www.instagram.com/regenerative_skills/

It's not often I get to do interviews in person, and it's not often that I get a chance to go to Italy to visit amazing farms and take a course on regional scale landscape hydrological restoration either. In fact this was my first visit to Italy at all. All of these fortunate circumstances came together at the end of November, a couple weeks ago, thanks to the incredible efforts and coordination by my friend Ed Cutler, the director of the Tuscany Environment Foundation. Early on Ed invited me to come and assist on a four day course that he was planning with Zach Weiss from Elemental Ecosystems and Lorenzo Costa from La Scoscesa farm, and since I've been in Zach's Water Stories course since the beginning I couldn't pass up the opportunity to go out and get my hands dirty with a few of my heroes while working on one of my biggest topics of passion.So today's interview is taking place up on Lorenzo's farm a day after the course wrapped up with incredible views of the mountain valleys and vineyards around as the three of us discuss some of the most important learnings of the week.  In that session we covered a lot of ground. Much like in the course itself we zoom in and out throughout the discussion to explore the challenges and opportunities for water restoration work at a large scale and in smaller and more specific examples. Lorenzo gave us great information and context on the history of land use in the Tuscan area as well as his own farm. Zach explained a lot of bigger picture concepts about working with water and the solutions for degraded landscapes and mismanaged infrastructure. We also refer regularly to the farm that hosted the course of the previous days, Tenuta di Paganico, which I highly recommend that you check out. I'll put the link to their website and social media in the show notes. Despite the challenges that they have with soil erosion and old water retention features that are no longer functioning, they are doing amazing work with forest management and grazing animals in silvopasture systems among others. I also highly recommend stopping by their farm store and restaurant if you ever find yourself near the town of Paganico.  I know this isn't a super detailed introduction to the interview, but everything is very well spelled out from personal introductions through the progress of the learnings from the course so I'm not worried that you'll fall behind.

So far we've considered physics and biology in our exploration of scripture and science. Today we begin to consider how earth science and the bible fit together. This becomes particularly significant when considering interpretations for Noah's flood. We'll get to that next time. But, for today, our teacher will lay out the basics of geology and earth science to give us a good overview. He'll also cover radiometric dating, which has a bearing on how scientists determine the age of the earth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VzgrLAFXfg&embeds_euri=https%3A%2F%2Flhim.org%2F&feature=emb_imp_woyt See below for notes. —— Links —— We are doing follow-up discussions to these episodes on YouTube.

Geology is the study of the Earth and the processes related to the Earth. • Geologists study rocks (and the rock cycle)• Subfields include atmospheric studies (meteorology), volcanology (studying volcanos), and mineralogy (study of minerals) Types of Rocks There are three major categories of rocks: • Sedimentary - formed by pressure acting on sediment• Igneous - formed by lava• Metamorphic - formed by extreme pressure and heat The Rock Cycle Since wind and water are constantly affecting change, there is a rock cycle. Geological Principles There are several main principles of geology: • Superposition• Cross-cutting relationships• Uniformitarianism Dating Methods There are major types of dating: • Absolute dating• Relative dating Absolute Dating Absolute dating is based on radioactive decay. What is radioactive decay? • Some forms of certain elements are (by nature) unstable• Over time, these elements change on the atomic level (sometimes losing protons and neutrons; sometimes exchanging protons and neutrons, etc.) Carbon Dating Carbon dating uses the decay of Carbon - 14 • Carbon - 12 has 6 neutrons and 6 protons• Carbon - 13 has 7 neutrons and 6 protons• Carbon - 14 has 8 neutrons and 6 protons What happens when Carbon - 14 decays? • Carbon - 14 exchanges a neutron for a proton• This changes the element from carbon to nitrogen• The reaction also produces an electron and an antineutrino So, how does this tell us anything about dating? • Radioactive decay is a process that is well understood• The half-life for carbon - 14 is ~5,700 years• This means, that it takes 5,700 years for the amount of carbon -14 in a sample to cut in half Is carbon dating exact? • No - it's a statistical process• However, there is a range of probable dates given Relative Dating What is relative dating? • Relative dating uses the geological principles of superposition and cross-cutting relationships to provide estimates on how old certain features are• Example: dating a rock layer based on the age of another layer (dated using radiometric dating) Structure of the Earth How do scientists know about the structure of the Earth? • Scientists understand what waves do when they hit various materials (ex: ultrasound imaging)• Seismological data from earthquakes has given us insight into the structure of the Earth The Water Cycle The water cycle is the process by which water goes through the phases of liquid, gas, and solid. • The water cycle helps moderate temperatures on Earth• The water cycle also supports life through crops and drinking water Carbon and Nitrogen Cycles Carbon and nitrogen also experience cycles of solid, liquid, and gas. • The carbon cycle is important for the support of life.• Disruption of the carbon cycle is one of the biggest fears of those promoting climate change. Plate Tectonics History of plate tectonics • Ancients did not believe in tectonic separation• In 1620, Sir Francis Bacon noted that Africa and South America looked like they could have fit together• Similar animal fossils and other pieces of evidence started getting scientists' attention• In 1925, Alfred Wegener formally proposed plate tectonic theory and was ridiculed.• In 1930, Wegener died while on expedition in Greenland, trying to find evidence for his theory.• In the late 1960s, almost overnight, the theory of plate tectonics reached scientific mainstream. Evidence for plate tectonics: • Paleomagnetic data• Similar rock outcroppings• Fossil evidence• Spreading of the sea floor• Direct evidence - we can observe the movement! Challenges to plate tectonics: • Where is the energy coming from?• Why are the continental plates moving like they are? “Even today, many questions pertaining to plate tectonics remain unanswered. Many exceptions to rigid rules have been found throughout the world. Although classical plate tectonic theory works well for oceanic crust, it has a difficult time explaining the motion of the continents”— Jon Erickson, Plate Tectonics, page 259. Challenges for Geology There are several concerns with geology as a science: • The principle of uniformitarianism is impossible to prove and so it's an assumption• Relative dating techniques can use circular logic at times

Today's ID the Future continues geologist Casey Luskin's presentation about how Earth is fine tuned in numerous ways for life, a talk he gave at the 2022 Dallas Conference on Science and Faith. Here in the second half, he highlights the many ways Earth's precise mix of atmospheric gases is strikingly fit for life. On top of that (or rather, beneath that), Earth's active geology and water-rich surface—unique in our solar system—are masterful at helping maintain our life-friendly atmosphere over long ages. Luskin argues that these and other finely tuned characteristics of planet Earth strongly suggest intelligent design. He then offers an additional design argument, this one aesthetic in nature, and then takes questions from the audience. Part 1 of his talk Read More › Source
