Some atheists say things like “science has fired God” or “science killed God.” What about some who say “science is making belief in God obsolete and incoherent”? Or what about this, “we are getting smarter and we can now explain things without invoking God.” Just like a previous post, “Reason vs. Faith“, where I argue […]
Once I met a German engineer working to reinvent the vacuum cleaner. When I say reinvent, I mean that! A totally different design. If he and his team were successful, they would do well. If not, he would be knocking on doors for a new job. Hard, Hard Work! Engineers, designers and artists understand how […]
We all know human life is valuable. But when does it begin? “If the unborn is not a human person, no justification for abortion is necessary. However, if the unborn is a human person, no justification for abortion is adequate” [1]. What evidence can we find from science? First we know that the first stage […]
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea Verne’s fictitious whaler characters chased Captain Nemo’s stupendous submarine all over the ocean. Wild imaginations of a gigantic whale haunted them. You see, captain Nemo’s design for his vessel, Nautilus, was somewhat based upon marine creature’s hydrodynamic shapes. Ideological Framework The single most pervading intellectual ideology of our time […]
Near the end of his article, Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist who starred in the series “Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey”, talks about what was prior to the universe’s existences. After making some slightly disparaging remarks toward the theists view, he postulates a couple other “where the universe came from” ideas. The multiverse and it “just […]
Up From a Hot Micropore We Arose – Did Life Start Hot? In a recent Nature Chemistry article, we are informed that some scientists feel they may have found a mechanism for the formation of life’s precursors, DNA replication in hot rock micropores [1]. An experiment was set up to mimic hot rock’s micropores in […]
During the last few years, Ken Ham’s organization, AIG, has been spearing heading a project to build a full size replica of “Noah’s Ark.” One may not be interested in this project, agree with it, or even go to see it, but, it would seem to me, most would be like “great, if it brings […]
A couple of years ago, I came across a presentation given at one of the TED conferences by a Drew Berry. If I would have a guess, many non-biologists would be really bored with a talk on cell division, right? But no, not this one, it was most interesting, using computer animation, he exposed the […]
Information is interesting, here I want to specifically discuss Shannon Information verses Specified Complex Information. I know, you may be saying “so what, it sounds boring to me.” Maybe so, it may even zip over your head, in that case duck so it will hit the person behind you! While being of an esoteric philosophical nature, I think it’s […]
Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology, professor lecturing – I can still picture it even though it was back in the first year of the new millennium. “Men and women on average have 24 ribs” he said. And then he said: “no, men don’t have one less rib”, he want on “that was only Adam.” First […]
