Today's public service pandemic program is brought to you by Crawford Broadcasting. Real Science Radio continues its series with today's discussion of the just authority governments have to deprive their citizens of liberty to combat a feared existential threat. Vitally important also, at rsr.org/ways, is our List of 23 Ways a Downturn Kills People. Please share that list to put pressure on those who absurdly advocate an indefinite shutdown, for their cure may end up killing far more people than SARS-CoV-2 ever could. Today's resource: God's Criminal Justice System: Does the Bible support the death penalty before the crucifixion? How about after the crucifixion? The death penalty forms the centerpiece of the Gospel. The first and last books of the Bible deal with execution, as do the Old and New Testaments generally. Enjoy this presentation of God's ideas about criminal justice. Many Christians pray for an open door to share the Gospel with a friend. That door opens with every newscast, and with the reading of every newspaper, for those who benefit from God's Criminal Justice System. Meanwhile, discover the unique style of Bob Enyart and enjoy all of his teaching tapes. The Bible tells the story of human history and the work of God for His creation. And as all good stories do, Scripture has a plot! Grasping the big picture will help you reconcile many seemingly contradictory and controversial Bible passages. So consider listening to The Plot series based on Bob’s manuscript of the same title. Then enjoy these book studies and see how the big picture can help you to better know the living God.

Real Science Radio hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams conclude discussing RSR's List of Problems with Star Formation. They present the discoveries that undermine the theory of, and the laws of physics that prevent, the collapse of nebulas into stars. Those discoveries do however rather effectively collapse star formation theory itself. You may first want to hear Part 1 and Part 2 and see in Part 1 the many links discussed on these programs. (As of May 4th we're still adding some of the promised links, and if you see anything missing, please let us know at [email protected]. Thanks!)

Today's public service pandemic program is brought to you by Crawford Broadcasting continuing Real Science Radio's series on how we got here, to this pandemic and shut down, why now and never before, and on today's program,  simple test that you can administer at home, for whether or not you, yourself, are correct if you claim that you would never have shut down the economy. And secondly, beginning at 15 minutes into today's program, what are the relevant just principles of governance that governments should adhere to when considering whether or not to battle a disease. Today's Resource: God's Principles of Government Join Bob Enyart as he explores God's Principles of Government. From Against Democracy where we look at the biblical principles related to the idea of majority rule, to a Representative Republic and its similarities with democracy, to a real Alternative to Democracy, to what a Bible-based Constitution actually looks like, after this series, the Scriptures' principles of governance will permeate your thinking like never before! Or your money back. (Really.)

(See the transcript of today's important program just below.) Today's public service pandemic program is brought to you by Crawford Broadcasting continuing Real Science Radio's series on how we got here, that is... - Why now and never before - The list of ways a shut down also kills people , where is this global phenomenon headed, and what are the relevant principles of governance that governments should be adhering to. All that, while rebutting a few conspiracy theories along the way including The Shaun Hannity Interpretation of China's Flights. See also part one, our Stunning Report 1: Why the Unprecedented Shut Down at rsr.org/why-now-and-never-before. If you're interested, see also our COVID science interviews at rsr.org/michael-behe-covid, rsr.org/kevin-anderson-covid, and rsr.org/james-tour-covid.   * List of 25 Ways a Downturn Kills People: (One of our classic kgov.com/lists including our List of Ways to Reduce Crime.) The opposite of an improved standard of living is an increase in the ways of dying. What makes an economy function is not money but when we do as the Bible commands, and "serve one another." As discussed below, like so much economic calculation, these increases in death often happen "on the margins", to people and in circumstances where events could go one way or another, and a "tipping point" otherwise avoided is reached because of economic stress. So here is BEL's list of ways that economic decline kills people: - Suicide increases (normally, the 10th leading cause of death; 2nd for young adults) - Stress, a major factor in increased disease, depression, and directly, death itself - Starvation as recession could horrifically increase the nine million annual deaths - Unemployment increases death rate by 50% from disease, accidents, etc. - Extended disappointment can lead to depression, then to death - Increase in polluted water and air not tolerated by prosperous societies  - Increasing family debt leads to increased stress (see above) - Forego needed medical treatment for known ailments - Forego routine healthcare/early diagnosis (TB to kill a million due to quarantine)  - Forego needed vehicle maintenance increasing crashes - Forego recreational exertion and work-related physical exercise - Forego equipment maintenance increasing workplace accidents - Forego healthier foods to eat less nutritiously deteriorating health - Farmers may produce less for various economic reasons - Manufacturers may cut corners producing less safe and satisfactory products - Increased crime including because less money is spent on security - Failed businesses bring enormous stress to owners and employees - Career employment is replaced by poorly paying jobs - Marriages fail leading to depression in adults and children - Raised by a mom alone is the primary indicator of kids ending up on welfare, as criminals, addicts, and early death - Increased loneliness from fewer family visits leading to death by broken heart  - Increased marijuana and other drug use - Increased alcohol abuse - Increased abortion - Government leaders who don't understand godly principles of government introduce additional socialist measures which overtime lead to increased societal dysfunction, depression, and death. Finally, for every one person who dies as a consequence of economic recession, many many more people grieve and have an increase in stress, unhappiness, failure, depression, disease, and divorce.   Offsetting Factors: Recession consequences that may actually save lives include... - people, friends, families and church members relying more on one another - some social government services being curtailed - more kids liberated from public school as an unintentional return to single-income households gives a parent the opportunity to homeschool - the emotional fulfillment from increased economization - the economic benefit of an increase in preparedness for future hard times - reduced traffic - reduced respiratory illness from temporarily reduce

* Fred is Back! Yeah! Real Science Radio hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams continue RSR's List of Problems with Star Formation. They present the discoveries that undermine the theory of, and the laws of physics that prevent, the collapse of nebulas into stars. Those discoveries do however rather effectively collapse star formation theory itself. You may want to make sure to hear Part 1 first and see there the promised links and our RSR's written list of star formation problems, and Part 3 provides the fun conclusion to this fascinating and educational series. (As of May 4th we're still adding some of the promised links, so if you see anything missing, please let us know at [email protected].

(The transcript of today's important program appears just below and you may want to check out next week's Part 2.) Real Science Radio host Bob Enyart takes lessons from the founder of the discipline of praxeology, as it's been called by Ludwig von Mises, the past leader of the Austrian School of Economics. Taking brilliant insights from von Mises, and working them within the context of a biblical Christian worldview, gives stunning insights into why, just now and unlike ever before, the world has shut down to fight a pandemic. Good for the mind. Great for the soul.   Today's Resource: God's Principles of Government. Join Bob Enyart as he explores God's Principles of Government. From Against Democracy where we look at the biblical principles related to the idea of majority rule, to a Representative Republic and its similarities with democracy, to a real Alternative to Democracy, to what a Bible-based Constitution actually looks like, after this series, the Scriptures' principles of governance will permeate your thinking like never before! Or your money back. (Really.) * Transcript of Today's Program:  As a public service for the COVID-19 pandemic and brought to you by the Crawford family of radio stations, welcoming new RSR listeners in Portland and San Francisco, today we'll present an overview of the coronavirus pandemic. How we got here, where we are at, and what this global experience portends for the future. And we'll rebut a few conspiracy theories and hopefully mitigate some misplaced anger. Real Science Radio has long run as a weekly Bible-based science program out of Denver and during the pandemic its been made available to various Crawford Broadcasting stations. Today, we include the soft science of praxeology, as Ludwig von Mises called it. Von Mises was the recognized leader of what is called the Austrian School, or the more conservative school, of Economics. For RSR to understand what a virus is and how it spreads requires interviewing scientists, like we've done in this series. Audience favorite molecular biologist Kevin Anderson, and world renowned scientists like biochemist Michael Behe and synthetic chemist James Tour and his nanoprobe device, remember that from last week, like a guided missile, seeks out pathogens, attaches and drills into them at three million RPMs, three million revolutions per minute, to destroy them! Yes, many brilliant scientists including those among the most successful in the world, like Dr. James Tour, reject secular origins and trust in Jesus Christ as savior and in the Scriptures as God's Word. But if you want to understand how the world, including our own government, got to this point of near-global extended quarantine, vast economic shut down, and millions of jobs lost, and likely, tens of thousands of failed businesses with employers who will no longer and never again provide jobs for others, these questions fall into the domain, not only of economics, but into the larger realm, of what Von Mises called praxeology, for the study of Human Action. Hence, Mises' masterpiece, which I highly recommend though it was quite a slog to get through it, at a thousand pages, his magnum opus, titled, Human Action. The mass shut down as an early response to a growing worldwide outbreak was bound to happen, eventually. Like a Calvinist who gets a broken leg and, by his theology, believed that this was decreed from eternity past, breaks his leg and says, "Boy, I'm glad that's over with", right, believing that it was unavoidable. Well, about this COVID pandemic, I'm not making any kind of theological argument; not at all. I'm making a praxeological argument, that eventually in human history, a shutdown like this was unavoidably coming, and now that it's here, we can say, once we emerge from it: Glad that's over with. I'll explain why such a shut down was inevitable; and for whatever reasons this started, as we've said on air for, what, two months now, the cure may be worse than the disease. Becaus

Real Science Radio host Bob Enyart is optimistic about the scientific assault on the coronavirus. World-renowned scientists like synthetic chemist Dr. James Tour have added so much to our body of knowledge. Regarding life itself, they've taught us how daunting it is to build the molecules needed, let alone assemble them into living cells, and how material things alone could never accomplish such a task and originate life, for life only comes from life. And secondly, they've taught us so much about working at the molecular level that many people are optimistic that targeted antibodies and other technologies are going to defeat COVID-19. So with his 650 published papers, 200 patents, 77,000 citations in the scientific literature, and armed with a tiny nanoprobe designed to seek out and destroy pathogens, Bob Enyart welcomes famed Dr. Tour to RSR.

The history of chloroquine and malaria provides vital insight into the theory of evolution and the possible future COVID-19. As a public service during the coronavirus pandemic and brought to you by the Crawford family of radio stations, RSR co-host Bob Enyart interviews biochemist Michael Behe, groundbreaking author of Darwin's Black Box, The Edge of Evolution, and Darwin Devolves. Dr. Behe helped launch the worldwide intelligent design movement of Ph.D. scientists exposing the failure of the theory of evolution to explain life's diversity. He's written on the history of chloroquine and its effect on the protozoa pathogen that causes malaria (a Plasmodium). That fascinating account reveals a stunning defect in the theory of evolution and also alerts us to the clear possibility that SARS-CoV-2 may mutate, and if so, it could create a second wave of challenging infections. (This is our second show today, so to hear the first, program, please click here.) Today's Resource: Does God Exist? (Debate) Bob Enyart: pastors Denver Bible Church. Bob began his professional life working for McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Company designing simulation software for the Army's Apache AH-64 attack helicopter, and then went to work for U S West, Microsoft Corporation, and PC Week. Bob eventually left his computing career to work fulltime in Christian ministry and to host a talk show. In 1991, Bob Enyart Live began airing on Denver's KLTT radio, and can still be heard there weeknights at 7 p.m. During the mid 90s, Bob's show moved to television and was available in eighty cities from Honolulu to Orlando. More than 50,000 copies of Bob's audio and video teaching tapes have been sold. And a few thousand people have read the overview of the Bible presented in The Plot manuscript which is Bob Enyart's life's work. Bob launched www.KGOV.com in 1999 with the purchase of O.J. Simpson's Hall of Fame Award and football jerseys, burning those items at the largest single-event press conference in the history of the LA courthouse. And Bob has organized a mobile protest of President Bill Clinton following him from Martha's Vineyard to Auckland, New Zealand with over 1,000 protests in 147 US and foreign cities for Clinton's sexual abuse of women. Bob has worked with parents of slain Columbine students to close down memorials to murderers Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, and was glad to see the destruction of two crosses on Rebel Hill and two trees planted in West Bowles Community Church memorial garden. Bob has been appeared on over 100 TV and radio shows, including multiple episodes of ABC's Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher; Fox News Channel's O'Reilly Factor and Hannity and Colmes, CNBC's Hardball with Chris Matthews, and various appearances on MS-NBC, the BBC, XTRA, Michael Reagan, E Network, etc. including on scores of radio stations from LA's KABC to NY's WABC. Zakath: a two and a half year veteran poster on TOL, is an atheist with a past. The man behind the screen name was raised in a Christian home, seminary trained, earned a doctorate in counseling psychology, pastored two churches, founded a Christian school, and a Christian counseling practice with his wife of twenty-five years. Zakath left the Christian faith almost ten years ago, eventually ending up in his present belief system, atheism. Zakath is the father of four grown children; two in active duty military service, and two in the federal consulting field. When he's not posting on TOL, he runs his consulting business, enjoys reading, organic gardening (and ponding), martial arts, and home brewing. * COVID-19 Deaths: Updated for April 5, 2020.

Real Science Radio host Bob Enyart concludes his interview with Ryan Mullins, theologian and author of the Oxford Studies title, The End of the Timeless God. Again, more than 700 pages on the websites of the big creation ministries (CMI, AiG, CRS, ICR) use the phrase "God and time". (You can verify that with this the time-saving customized Google tool atop rsr.org to simultaneously search the big creation groups.) The guys also discuss the nearly ubiquitous and utterly damaging doctine of Divine Simplicity, which, if true, would prohibit even the very triune nature of God. (And as our producer Dominic Enyart asks, If Divine Similicity were true, what's the point of learning more about God?) Research fellow at Scotland's University of St. Andrews, Dr. Mullins has published groundbreaking work on the topic of God's relationship to time. Bob read and highly recommends Mullin's book. And we invite you to browse our own titles and check out "God and time" resources at our own store.kgov.com! And make sure to hear Part 1 and Part 2 beginning at rsr.org/mullins and our series with Dr. Richard Holland on his book, God, Time and the Incarnation! Today's Resource: Open Theism Seminar Open theism seminar with Bob Enyart on three DVDs! BEL January 2007 Seminar Indianapolis, IN Another fantastic BEL seminar, this time, on the topic of Open Theism, answering the question, is the future settled or open? The Open View teaches that God can change the future. He interacts with the flow of history and changes the outcome of the future as it unfolds by His decisions and actions.  COVID Notice: This video of Bob Enyart's cellular animation and virus sermon was taped at Denver Bible Church.

* As a Public Service for the Coronavirus Pandemic: and brought to you by the Crawford family of radio stations, RSR host Bob Enyart interviews the director of the Van Andel Research Center in Chino Valley, Arizona, molecular biologist Dr. Kevin Anderson. We discuss the origin of this SARS-CoV-2 virus with the evidence against it being created in a lab as a biological weapon and why COVID-19 is far more deadly than the common cold. Bob co-hosts with Fred Williams the Denver-based long-running Real Science Radio broadcast with its home on Crawford's AM 670 KLT, a new affiliate Portland's KKPZ in Oregon, and our podcast home at rsr.org. * COVID-19 Deaths: Updated for April 5, 2020.
