Review of Three Channels

About five years ago I realized I was a biblical creationist. Much before that I would have said that birds came from dinosaurs and the world was gazillions of years old.

This has been one of the most interesting rabbit holes I have EVER gone down. I know you may be glad you didn’t go down yourself, but if you ever decide to take the plunge, below are three YouTube channels that I now regularly watch and highly recommend.

Standing For Truth

This episode covers Jason Lisle’s Anisotropic Synchrony Convention (ASC) and the model which predicted before the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reported back data that we would see fully formed galaxies at further red shifts that had heavy elements in them.

When JWST confirmed the predictions of Lisle’s model it falsified the big bang as we know it. A corrected big bang story will need to be devised by those who won’t give up on the Lambda Cold Dark Matter model, but Lisle’s ASC model needs no modification.

Examining Origins

My first introduction to Cornelius Hunter came from this channel. He is a philosopher of science who views biological evolution as a “theological research project”, not a science, although it could become a science if it started to take itself seriously.

Since listening to him a few months ago I have read his books, Darwin’s God and Science’s Blind Spot, both of which I recommend if you are interested in biology and the philosophy and history of science.

Logos Research Associates

In this episode John Whitmore provides an overview of the Coconino Sandstone. The beds of this layer are slanted rather than flat. A flat layer can easily be seen as having been laid down by a huge water catastrophe (think, the global flood of Genesis 6-9). However, can the tilted layers of the Coconino Sandstone also be viewed as deposited by water?

Concluding Remarks

The discussions on these channels are lively. Although the hosts are creationists, many evolutionists comment to challenge them. So, it is not a totally one-sided experience.

For a quick jump down the rabbit hole, these three channels are good places to start. You might even find, as I have, that you prefer it down there.

Proverbial Fairy Tale: Lad And Lass

Once upon a time there was a lad who proudly declared that he took only one biology class (of which all he remembered was dissecting some frog), no chemistry classes and no physics classes (worth mentioning). He did take enough mathematics and programming classes to confidently declare that he could read all of that other garbage should he ever want to waste his time doing so.

About the same time there was a lass who had her eyes on the lad. It is unclear whether she pursued him or whether she convinced him to pursue her or whether there was any difference between those two options. Regardless, she got him.

Since biology works no matter how many classes you’ve taken nor how many frogs you’ve dissected nor how many boyfriends you’ve convinced to pursue you, they made a vow to live happily ever after.

Proverbial Fairy Tale: Dumping Dark Matter on the Commodity Exchange

Once upon a time there was a lad who read bestsellers like The Fool’s Guide to the Multiverse, The Evolution of Unbelievably Common Ancestors and How To Buy and Sell Dark Matter.

Our lad had many friends. He taught them everything he learned from his extensive reading. They said, “Wow!” In turn they taught all of it to everyone they knew.

The lad and his friends lived happily ever after until they dumped a tad too much dark matter on the commodity exchange generating an enhanced gravitational force that collapsed the exchange into an unstable stellar object which exploded leaving a nasty black hole all of which is detailed in the lad’s new bestseller How NOT To Dump Dark Matter on a Commodity Exchange.

Cosmic Photo Challenge: A Cold Start

Dale offers the prompt “a cold start” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.

It is rather warm where we live in the Carolinas and Florida although sometimes it reaches Florida freezing temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

These photos are from when we lived in the Chicago area where Chicago freezing temperatures reached minus 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Or so I heard. On those days I didn’t go out to check.

______

Cold, but still warm enough for snow to cling to the trees
Snowing along a path in Northbrook, Illinois
No snow, but cool temperatures

Proverbial Fairy Tale: Yadda Yadda Yadda

Once upon a time I listened to the yadda, yadda, yadda of a spell echo round the cylindrical walls of a black cauldron filled with a smelly, syrupy soup concocted to fix whatever it was the witch doctor stirring the pot said was wrong with me. Doc ladled some of the syrup into a cup and gave it to me forcing me to wrap my fingers around the cup’s ornate handle featuring a smiling serpent with a wicked forked tongue sticking out.

Now, what would you have done? Would you politely drink whatever was in the cup or would you dump it all out?

I often just drink it, but this time I poured it out when doc wasn’t looking. An ugly monster rose from the dirt floor and grew to immense proportions before its head exploded – and I was glad it didn’t do that in my stomach – leaving me happily ever after to tell the tale.
