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 […]
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Before the Universe and Why God is the Best Explanation
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 […]
New Research Says Life Started Hot, But Here’s What They Won’t Tell You.
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 […]
On Discrimination and Noah’s Ark
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 […]
The Amazing Cell!
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 […]
What Is The Difference Between Shannon Information and Specified Complex Information? And why it’s important.
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 […]
Why Insect Gears Point to God and Away from Darwinism
Covering the design company IDEO’s product design process, the host of the documentary called “IDEO Deep Dive” said something to the effect of “everything besides nature was designed.” The Gear Consider the lowly gear – classically an iconic element to indicate human technological progress and design. We all have seen them – mundane right? Actually […]
Mr. Kingfisher
Problem: Train needs to travel at 200 mph with very little noise-pollution. Solution: The Shinkansen Bullet Train and a bird-watching engineer. Excessive noise is generated when trains zip too fast, exiting tunnels. Thus a sonic boom. As it moves through a tunnel, pressure builds up in waves which causes this boom as it emerges. A […]
That thing that smells
A humans Nose (2) OK, you know that thing that at times looks ugly, sticking out from your face? Yes, that thing that is messy when you have a little cold and has those few annoying hairs that stick out? Good, we are talking about the same thing here, just to be sure. So let’s […]
Double Function: DNA Code and Duons
Cells are the “building block of life”, they form organisms. Inside, DNA resides, storing the instructions that tell how to build proteins. Protein are made up of something called called amino acids. The instructions in the DNA are called genes. However, the DNA has other functions as well, it regulates some of the cell’s activities. DNA code […]
