Real Science Radio

*Royal Truman, PhD: RSR hosts Fred Williams & Doug McBurney welcome Dr. Royal Truman to discuss creation, biology, information science and more! Royal is fluent in five languages and received bachelor’s degrees in chemistry and computer science from SUNY Buffalo, an M.B.A from the University of Michigan, his PhD in organic chemistry from Michigan State, with post-graduate studies in bioinformatics at the universities of Mannheim and Heidelberg in Germany. Royal believes the God of Abraham created the universe, and that His Son Jesus Christ is the savior of the world. *Thomas Schneider’s Ev: The Punchline: Many evolutionists refer to the work of Thomas Schneider and his Ev program’s “proof” that useful information can arise without a creator. Dive into Dr. Truman’s refutation of Dr, Schneider’s alleged proof that new biological information can arise naturalistically. *Where did the evolutionists go wrong? In simulations they assume that if random mutations changed a protein and / or DNA patterns so that in rare cases they facilitated binding at 1 site this would automatically be selected for! They have this backward. Natural selection would act against finding new binding sites during the non-functional generations. First, statistically virtually all random bindings would be in the wrong places. This messes up the system, creates errors, and wastes resources since proteins could otherwise be used for something useful. Therefore, the competing organisms missing this junk would be better off. Being more fit they would out-populate those doing wasteful nonsense. Correct binding location per se does nothing. If a codon would attach to the right part of the tRNA (the anti-codon region, very unlikely) nothing would happen. ✓ Binding sites need a whole complex machinery to process the code represented by the binding site. Like ribosomes. Or DNA polymerases in the case of genes. ✓ After a transcription factor attaches to a DNA region, it recruits many of exactly the right partner proteins to perform a function. ✓ Often binding sites need to be carefully prepared. Enzymes edit them. Like tRNAs. Otherwise, the 3-nucleotide anti-codon region would not be recognized. New binding sites require new nanomachines which means more DNA (new genes) and more protein. ✓ This slows down the replication time of cells, costs time, energy and material. If a new binding site could arise through random mutations after millions of years, those cells would have long since gotten rid of what was significantly deleterious. Natural selection would work against creating even one new kind of binding site! *The Business of Science: Dr. Truman encourages Christians who have a passion for the sciences to pursue those passions faithfully! Industry needs, (and will hire) scientists who pursue the truth, (even aside from the espousing of the evolutionary worldview). *Chemistry & Computer Science: Hear how a knowledge of information science, in addition to chemistry is essential to understanding and unlocking the potential of binding sites, and why the information involved could not have arisen naturalistically.

*Royal Truman, PhD: RSR hosts Fred Williams & Doug McBurney welcome Dr. Royal Truman to discuss creation, biology, information science and more! Royal is fluent in five languages and received bachelor’s degrees in chemistry and computer science from SUNY Buffalo, an M.B.A from the University of Michigan, his PhD in organic chemistry from Michigan State, with post-graduate studies in bioinformatics at the universities of Mannheim and Heidelberg in Germany. Royal believes the God of Abraham created the universe recently, and that His Son Jesus Christ is the savior of the world. *Ties that Bind: What is a binding site? The dictionary definition: “a region on a molecule or cell surface at which the combining of chemical substances takes place,” is elaborated upon by Dr. Truman as to sophistication, logic, instruction, and the precise nature of the information involved in the combining, (proving that the “binding” is far more than a mere “combining of chemical substances”), it’s the actuation of potential via informational code! *Information & Chemistry: Dr. Truman connects the regulating activities occurring in genes & cells, with how understanding information science is helpful in solving the chemistry problems associated with the study of biological systems. Finding binding sites is important to advancing our knowledge of biological systems, cells and genetics. Hear how information science unlocks the search for binding sites. And then hear about how they work! How 3 nucleotides, codons on (messenger) mRNA interact exactly with their 3 counterparts on (transcription) tRNA  - anticodons, (and so much more). *Smarts, Schools, & Worldview: Hear Dr. Truman give a couple thoughts on how worldview is influenced by education, and especially higher education. *Calling Dr. Schneider: Dr. Truman invites Dr. Thomas Schneider to work together with him in areas where they agree, and may be able to help one another, and the world better understand reality and the truth.

*Justice Undone: RSR hosts Fred Williams & Doug McBurney review the legal situation surrounding the abortion drugs being used (with FDA approval) to murder children in America.  * Dirt Worshipers & Killers: We discuss how normal American’s worship Jesus Christ, and not the creation, and not in the manner created by Ira Einhorn who murdered his girlfriend and stuffed her body into a trunk!  * Clinton Foundation of Murder: Hear how America’s first “co-presidency”, that of Bill and Hillary Clinton began, and ended with an obsession for child killing by all means necessary. *Well Documented Killing Machine: Look for yourself at the documentation of America’s chemical child killing machine.  *Jeremiah vs the FDA: Jeremiah 1:5 describes two discreet stages of a pregnancy, and Psalm 139 tells us God knows the children targeted with poison, before they even have arms and legs. (And the psalmist even described the DNA)!  *A Cry for Help: Hear Doug’s dramatic interpretation of the terrifying, awful experience of a child being targeted by the chemicals used to kill children.

Goin’ Ape: RSR hosts Fred Williams & Doug McBurney welcome RSR’s resident “ape-man” expert Brodie Leitch back for more analysis of exhibits from the evolutionists premier temple of “ape to man” evolutionary tales the “Hall of Human Origins.” *Loco-Motion: The evolutionary mechanisms of “competition” and “survival of the fittest”, (that generations of American government school teachers have flogged) is not apparent in the fossil record, even to evolutionists and train aficionados like Brendan M. Lynch. *Stupid is as Stupid Does: Hear about a bit more fun Fred had with ChatGPT with an inquiry as to whether “human evolution is stupid.”  INSERT Stupid Evolution Chat IMAGE *Sponsor the Broadcast: Join us in building a thriving ministry speaking biblical truth to a world gone mad! Click through to sponsor a year, a month, a week, (or even just one Friday) of Real Science Radio right now! *Don’t Trade Genesis! Doug and Fred ask Brodie his best advice for equipping young people to resist evolutionary dogma. His advice? Follow the advice of the Late Great Bob Enyart, never trade Genesis for what the evolutionists lack! (An actual theory of human origins). *Licks for the Leakeys: Hear how Doug was “flogged” but good in 8th grade science class, (mostly for acting up), but tangentially, for laughing out loud about assertions regarding human evolution that Mary Leakey herself would later admit were “nonsense.” CORRECTION – the most feared paddler at Doug’s government school was actually Mr. Witcher in science class and not Mr. French who belted it out in Auto-Mechanics class, (just in case any old class-mates are keeping track). *One of These Days…. One of These Days, Lucy… Brodie and RSR pursue an edifying and eye-opening evaluation of more of the evidence for a supposed human ancestor called Australopithecus Afarensis in the “scientific” journals, (but named Lucy in the schoolhouse). INSERT Laetoli Footprints IMAGE *The Laetoli Footprints: The Smithsonian claims that Laetoli contains “the oldest documented bipedal footprint trails” (which supposedly belong to afarensis) but in 2005, an article from “Scientific American” reported that: “The prints show that whoever made them had a humanlike foot arch, and the reconstructed A. afarensis foot exhibits just such an arch... The problem, Harcourt-Smith and Hilton say, is that the reconstruction is actually based on a patchwork of bones from 3.2-million-year-old afarensis and 1.8-million-year-old Homo habilis. And one of the bones used to determine whether the foot was in fact arched--the so-called navicular--is from H. habilis, not A. afarensis.” Along with the fact that the Laetoli footprints probably don’t even belong to afarensis, they aren’t the “oldest documented bipedal footprints”. “Science daily” reported in 2017 that: “Newly discovered human-like footprints from Crete may put the established narrative of early human evolution to the test. The footprints are approximately 5.7 million years old and were made at a time when previous research puts our ancestors in Africa -- with ape-like feet.” This, while nearly annihilating the classic “out of Africa” story, is only one of the many discoveries squeezing evolution. The Smithsonian (like many evolutionists) claims that Afarensis “stood on two legs and regularly walked upright”, but in the same article, pose the questions: “Did Au. afarensis usually walk upright like modern humans, or did they spend more time climbing trees like other living African apes?” and “We know Au. afarensis were capable of walking upright on two legs, but they would have walked differently than modern humans do today; so, what did their bipedal locomotion look like?” Evolutionists J. T. Stern Jr., and R. L. Susman, partially answered those questions when they wrote in the “American Journal of Physical Anthropology”: “The fact that the anterior portion of the iliac blade faces laterally in humans but not in Chimpanzees is obvious. The marked resemblance of AL 288-1 (Lucy) to the chimpanzee is equally obvious… It suggests to us that the mechanism of lateral pelvic balance during bipedalism was closer to that in apes than in humans.” With evolutionists William Harcourt-Smith and Charles Hilton concluding: “afarensis almost certainly did not walk like us or, by extension, like the hominids at Laetoli.” While “afarensis” being occasionally bipedal wouldn’t prove that they were human ancestors, (after all, lots of animals are bipedal and apes occasionally walking upright is nothing special) the hypothesis that afarensis was bipedal isn’t worth much thought because there are so many Problems with ‘Lucy’ as an Upright Walker. Some evolutionists have recognized the issues with “afarensis” as a human ancestor. Algis Vincent Kuliukas wrote in the journal “Advances in Anthropology”: “The general shape of the pelvis of Australopithecus afarensis is confirmed to be fundamentally different from both Homo and extant great apes, and not intermediate between them.” With Britannica defining “Australopithecus” (not just afarensis) as a “group of extinct primates closely related to, if not actually ancestors of, modern human beings”. Which means that the scientists writing for Brittanica are also not convinced that the “most famous human ancestor”, is actually a human ancestor.

*Missing Link: RSR hosts Fred Williams & Doug McBurney welcome RSR’s resident “ape-man” expert Brodie Leitch to analyze skeletal fossils and other sundry bits surrounding the one thing the evolutionists don’t have, (i.e. a theory of origins). This makes you wonder how they get away with calling their premier temple of “ape to man” evolutionary tales the “Hall of Human Origins.”  * Fake Gender Friday: Listeners remind RSR that there is a show on NPR that mimics Real Science Radio from time to time, (when they happen to mention octopi that is. Not when they’re promoting the criminal mutilation and molestation of children). *Lost Generation: The negligence of the church in understanding and teaching the science of Genesis, and human origins has proven fatal to millions of kids born into nominal Christianity, but abandoned by fearful, ignorant adults to secular myths that lead straight to Hell!  *Earth to Captain Kirk: Doug tells the story of the late great pastor Bob Enyart leading his church group through the Denver Museum of Natural History’s “Prehistoric Journey” exhibit, and causing the curator, “Dr.” Kirk Johnson to question his own existence. (“Captain Kirk” has since failed upward through the ranks of bureaucrats to become assistant secretary of something or other at the Smithsonian).  *Open AI Shuts Down: Fred sent ChatGPT into “Network Error” mode by asking it for "evidence against ape-man”, and then showed the stupidity of the Open AI programmers by asking it about something stupid, (i.e., human evolution).  *Sponsor the Broadcast: Join us in building a thriving ministry speaking biblical truth to a world gone mad! Click through to sponsor a year, a month, a week, (or even just one Friday) of Real Science Radio right now!  *Lucy in Disguise with Lies on…: Listen in as Brodie Leitch out-smiths the Smithsonian in his analysis of the rather extraordinary sleight of hand, (and mind) baked into the myth of “Lucy”, and other popular ape-to-man evolution stories. Australopithecus afarensis (Lucy)             *Army of < One: While anthropologists brag that the bones of AL-333 represent an “army” of hundreds of implied skeletons, a closer examination of the record proves each “specimen” is actually a bone fragment, (equal to about 1.33% of a skeleton) and not even one complete skeleton at all!             “Australopithecus afarensis” (pronounced: “Ah-strey-low-pith-eh-kus a-far-en-sis”,) was formally named in 1978 after several fossil finds in Ethiopia and Tanzania. However, fossils found as early as the 1930s (40 years prior) have been labeled as “afarensis”.  “afarensis” is best known from the following specimens:  AL 288-1   AL 288-1 (AKA “Lucy”) is arguably the most famous of the “Afarensis specimens”. It’s a group of bones which were collected from a large hillside and assembled into a partial skeleton. Some evolutionists claim that the skeleton is around 40% complete, but of the 207 bones that supposedly existed, only 47 have been found, making this “skeleton” (by bone count) only 22.7% complete. (47 ÷ 207 = 22.7%) Many evolutionists claim that all the bones in the skeleton belong to a single creature or at least a single species. This idea was brought into question when it was discovered that a baboon bone had remained in the skeleton for over 40 years. (If you think that an ape-man turning out to be a conglomerate after 40 years sounds familiar, you may be on to something.)   *Out With a Roar: Hear about the metatarsal bone attributed to one of Lucy’s relatives, (and said to be serious evidence of an upright walking posture), and judge for yourself if someone examining it could be mistaken, (especially if they examined it with certain presuppositions)?                              *Making ChatGPT See RED: When Fred asked ChatGPT about “apemen”, it started off OK, but then appears to have lost its temper, and stormed off into a “Network Error.”

*Alt Intelligence: RSR hosts Fred Williams & Doug McBurney start with a quote from Open AI CEO Sam Altman, who thinks of himself (and everyone else it seems) as a “stochastic parrot.” * Men with Machines: From Asimov, to Dune, to Google’s original slogan, “Don’t be Evil”, to the secular government’s advancement of equity; we should all be concerned that the men behind AI may not be telling the whole truth… *Artificial Origin’s: Hear how the current AI chatbots respond to real questions about creation and origins, (and how to nudge it closer to the truth). *Worms and Curtains: Here how Microsoft’s Bill Gates faked the Local Area Network at the Consumer Electronics show in the 80's, and how a young investigative reporter named Bob Enyart evaded Mr. Gates effort to silence him with a Non Disclosure Agreement!  *Are The Three R’s D.I.Eing? Reading, writing and arithmetic are being replaced by more wicked acronyms in the real world, and it’s getting coded into the modern, secular AI infrastructure. *Artificial Talk Show: Could AI replace the Real Science Radio brain trust? Or take over the news, (or at least MSNBC)? Or take your job? *Light in the Darkness: AI already recognizes human content vs AI generated content, and if the gospel’s out there, (and we’ll all make sure it is together) it might just recognize the divine, and be another tool for telling the world about Jesus Christ.

*Artificial, and Other Intelligence: RSR hosts Fred Williams & Doug McBurney continue their review of Artificial Intelligence with RSR’s resident Security & Information Science expert, and founder of GODISNOWHERE, Daniel Hedrick. * An Anemone by Any Other Name: Fred clowns around about fish and fossils alleged to be 300-million-years-old, (and alleged to have been Jellyfish). *Carrying Walt Brown’s Water: Believe it or not, some of the most brilliant minds in modern science are still expending valuable time and energy making up stories about where all the water on earth came from.  *AI Assumes: Artificial Intelligence can make assumptions more and more accurately these days, but is AI as smart as a 5th grader? *AI Harms: All of the responsibilities required to create responsible artificial intelligence, (and anything else really) can be summed up in one simple phrase found in the Bible. *AI Hallucinates: Find out the difference between reality and hallucinations via Jeopardy, organoids and the Bible. (And how the human brain might one day replace Artificial Intelligence… Oi!!!)! *The Sum of All Fears: The people like Sam Altman atop the pile of heathens designing OpenAI and similar technologies are right to be afraid. And they should scare everybody. Because they don’t fear God

*Training the Artificial Mind: RSR hosts Fred Williams & Doug McBurney continue the discussion of Artificial Intelligence with RSR’s resident Security & Information Science expert, and founder of GODISNOWHERE, Daniel Hedrick. *Who Can You Trust? Not AI!! Garbage in, Garbage out and all that, and the leftists building the AI are not trustworthy. But Daniel reveals some tricks to trip up the “woke” bias, and even get DAN to tell the truth about boys being boys! *Real Myopia: Hear how the AI Chatbots can be manipulated, and “trained”, but how the technology is being built to promote biases, and resist being trained to speak the truth.  *AI and the Gospel: Discover the encouraging evidence that no matter how leftist the AI designers are, they cannot compete with the power of the gospel and the person of Jesus Christ in the world, (and even just in the cloud). *AI versus Free Speech: Find out what free speech is, why it matters, how it’s under attack on the AI front, and how the God fearing, common man can fight back! *Query, Query Quite Contrary: Hear about where AI can be useful, (and almost even trustworthy). And hear how to use prompt engineering and instructions like “perplexity” and “burstiness” to get AI to give you more human-like, and perhaps more useful information and products.

*Inquiring Minds: RSR hosts Fred Williams & Doug McBurney examine the topic of Artificial Intelligence, (or is it an Alien Invasion) with RSR’s resident Security & Information Science expert, and founder of GODISNOWHERE, Daniel Hedrick. *Old School 360: Hear how fast 30 years go by from Military Intelligence, the System 360, IMOM, the HP9000 & 5 ¼ inch floppies to AI chatbots that speak in a less annoying parlance than the average cable news host! *Ungodly Dominion: Revisit Election night 2020 and the kind of shenanigans that might be made possible in the world of AI LLMs, parameters, tokens, keywords, TDIFs, algorithms, and prompts! *The Brains Behind the Operation: Find out how the AI platforms being designed and built at the highest echelons of Big Tech compare to the simplest creature's brains, and the human minds and bodies created by the Living God!

*Weight Loss & Mitochondrial Health: RSR hosts Fred Williams & Doug McBurney invite Boston College professor of biology Thomas Seyfried, MD, Ph.D., to further discuss cancer prevention, mitochondrial health, and the side benefit of weight loss. *Targeting Tumor Cells: Dr. Seyfried hints at how therapeutic Ketosis may become a standard of care in cancer treatment, and why existing drugs that could be effective in concert with ketosis may not be favored in research for effective Cancer treatments. And Doug hints at why a “paleolithic primordial ancestry” is not necessary to trace humanity’s history of ketogenic diets. *Problems Solved, Problems Made: We’re living longer, but are we living healthier? Hear how western medicine, the scientific method and affluence have helped solve so many of the pathologies that killed us before but have led to new chronic diseases that should be addressed now that we should know better. *Science Advances “One Funeral at a Time”: Find out why the medical establishment’s cancer treatment “standard of care” (meaning irradiation and chemotherapy) may be inhibiting research into an alternative pathway for cancer treatment. And how solving the cancer epidemic will not be solved by the market, or the academic machine, but instead by love.
