* Boulder, Colorado's Planetarium Show on Christ's Birth: For Christmas Eve, we're enjoying this Real Science Radio rerun about the University of Colorado's Fiske Planetarium presentation of a live program, The Astronomical Star of Bethlehem, by amateur astronomer Gil Buller. From the planetarium's website, "This exciting program examines the sky at the time of the birth of Christ to see which astronomical phenomenon may have been the Star of Bethlehem." * Orbital Mechanics Help Identify the Star of Bethlehem: Using computer-generated images of the night sky in ancient Israel, this planetarium program does in great style what Bob Enyart's DVD does using more modest computer simulation software. Click to get Bob's classic DVD, The Planets, Stars, and The Bible. Today’s Resource: We invite you to browse through our Science Department in our online store? Also, you can check out our other stars video, from ABC's Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher. We call it Bob Debates the Stars. See Bob Enyart debate the celebrities on moral issues on his many appearances on national television. Other guests include Judd Nelson, Sisqo, Larry Flynt, Victoria Jackson, Jimmy Kimmel, Marilu Henner, Dennis Weaver, Donnie Osmond, Martin Short, Aisha Tyler, Jeffrey Tambor, Veronica Webb, Ruby Wax, Lynn Redgrave, Cherie Carter Scott, Armin Brott and Coleen Haskell.

Dr. Phil Silvia What destroyed the Bronze Age city of Tall el-Hammam? As currently estimated, this happened 3,700 years ago. A popular hypothesis by archaeologist Phillip Silvia (as reported by space.com, sciencenews.com, livescience.com, newsweek.com, forbes.com, universetoday.com, etc.) suggests that a meteoroid's aerial explosion may have destroyed this ancient city just east of the northern shore of the Dead Sea, a possible site for the biblical city of Sodom. Real Science Radio host Bob Enyart interviews Dr. Silvia about his talk at last month's annual meeting of the American Schools of Oriental Research in Denver. Hear about the obliteration of everything above ground in the city, the intense heat, the five-century abandonment of the area despite being the most well watered in the region, and the Dead Sea salts that were blasted up onto and over the outskirts of the city.

* See RSR's List of Gap Theory Consequnces: Below. Bob Enyart and Fred Williams, discussing the idea that the Bible indicates that a long period of time passed between the first two verses of Genesis, quickly list the consequences of what's called the Gap Theory. (They very briefly do the same for the competing Day-Age Theory.) What isn't always presented upfront is that as supporters try to maintain old-earth creation views, they then must rearrange the order of those days (since their theory requires the existence of the Sun before Day 4; etc.). Gap theorists also tend to reject that there were no thorns before Adam's sin, Noah's global flood, etc. The Day-Age theorists also tend to reject even that the languages originated at Babel, the Exodus, Jericho's supernatural fall, Joshua's conquest of Canaan, etc. So it turns out that making a small adjustment in Genesis 1 leads to extensive rejection of many plain historical passages of scripture and of many corroborating archaeological and scientific discoveries. * The Day-Age Theory Consequences: The initial presentation of Day-Age might seem reasonable, that the word "day" can mean a long age and so Genesis accommodates an old earth. What isn't always presented upfront however is that as supporters try to maintain the Day-Age theory, they not only lengthen the days but then also: - must rearrange the order of those days (since their theory requires the existence of the Sun before the Earth; of birds after land animals, etc.) - reject that there were no thorns before Adam (as Genesis states) - reject that all was "very good" until sometime after Day Six - reject that there was no death before Adam's fall (as the Bible states) - reject the great ages that the antideluvians (like Methuselah) lived to - reject the global flood (and all the evidence for it) - reject that the languages originated at Babel - reject the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah - reject the Exodus (and all the evidence for it) - reject Jericho's fall (and all the evidence for it) - reject Joshua's conquest of Canaan - reject Jesus' statement that God made man at the beginning of creation - etc. So it turns out that making a small adjustment in Genesis 1 and overlooking that "the evening and the morning" were the first day, the second day, etc., leads to extensive rejection of other plain historical passages of scripture. What then, arises, with the adoption of the Gap Theory? Bob and Fred investigate (see below). * RSR's Multiple Creation Site Search: This single Google-based custom creation search already has saved Bob and Fred dozens of hours in research and made us much more effective.

What isn't always presented upfront however is that as supporters try to maintain the Gap Theory, they not only insert a long period of time into Genesis 1 but then also: - reject that there was no death before Adam's fall in Genesis 3 - reject that the sun was not made until Day Four (so they effectively re-order the days) - reject that God made the stars after He made the Earth (preferring billion-year astronomy stories) - reject that there were no thorns before Adam (as Genesis states) - reject that "everything... was very good" on Day Six (Gappers claim the Devil already existed) - reject that Lucifer became the enemy at Eve's fall ("because you have done this", and not before) - reject that Lucifer was in the Garden of Eden when he fell ("in Eden"; "I will ascend into heaven") - minimize Noah's flood (claiming the biblical and scientific evidence for it was for Lucifer's flood) - reject the Ten Commandments statement that "in six days the LORD made the heave

* First Shocking Thing First: Before getting to the sad shocker of today's program, that creation groups are reinterpreting the "fountains of the great deep" to refer not to water but to volcanoes (?!), hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams report actually shocking science news about how far a hundred watts of energy will take your brain (and body), about our ability to see a single photon, and about crocodiles eating fruit! Real Science Radio today also airs audio from infamous anti-creationist Eugenie Scott to put the lie to the Junk DNA story, once again, now that some human retrovirus genes have been found to be, not junk but, essential to reproduction! But the big story today is that our beloved creation movement is headed down yet another tragic and obvious dead end, this one designed to save the failed creationist version of the secular Plate Tectonics theory, by claiming that the fountains of the great deep that flooded the globe were not water... but magma??? Oh boy! Here we go again... * RSR Programming Notes: On Nov. 25, 2016 we aired our rsr.org/crossover-depth program with aerospace and defense industry engineer Bryan Nickel discussing four scientific problems with Catastrophic Plate Tectonics's "MAGMA (?) of the Great Deep" flood interpretation. One week earlier, on Nov. 18, we published RSR's YouTube video on the topic. This topic my intimidate some folks from commenting, but please feel free to share your thoughts. Thanks! Also, toward the end of this video, a notice points viewers to this page to see a second short video, the one embedded just below this first one;      * AiG March 2017 Update: We're excited that Answers in Genesis has published the claim that the water for the flood may have come from beneath the crust! To better understand this issue, we suggest that you keep reading, but if you must, feel free to skip below to the AiG update!  * "Crossover Depth" Falsifies CPT & AiG Animation: Below 220 miles, called the "crossover depth", melted rock greatly compresses and so would not rise but sink. So aside from the biblical error of claiming that the fountains of the great deep were not water but magma, a physics error is that CPT has the magma impossibly rising through 1,800 miles of mantle up to the crust. This and many other powerful scientific observations falsify catastrophic plate tectonics, AiG's animation, and also plate tectonics. (Just like the public hears very little about dinosaur soft tissue, because it exposes the falsity of old-earth paleontology, so too, the public hears little about the crossover depth, because it exposes the falsity of plate tectonics. See also rsr.org/flood and rsr.org/albright.) Consider further, the magma just beneath the mantle is approximately double the density of the mantle's solid rock that is sitting just inches above the liquid outer core. The main reason for the sharp boundary between the liquid outer core and the solid mantle is the difference in density. And again, by the laws of physics that magma cannot rise through the nearly 1600 miles from the core up to the crossover depth, as claimed by Answers in Genesis, Plate Tectonics, and the Catastrophic Plate Tectonics theory. Geologists are not physicists; they've developed many stories that somewhat match their worldview and that somewhat match the data, but the harder part is getting those stories to fit in with the laws of physics, which they do not.  Further, if magma melted a path from the core up to the crust, its path could possibly be detectable today with seismic tomography. That now solidified path should have a sharp density contrast with the rest of the mantle. (Long, thin, straight lines are easy to detect. (Recall seeing from an airplane or satellite photos roads in jungles or bridges over rivers.) It seems that none of the theory authors of Catastrophic Plate Tectonics have ever predicted that such a path might be detectable. Contrast that with the many predictions made by Dr. Walt Brown, author

* Another WWB Discovery: RSR hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams discuss yet another WWB discovery, diamonds in meteorite fragments! While dismissing the popular notion of a large exploded planet to explain these diamonds (not enough solar system debris; gravity likes to keep planets together; Genesis reports a catastrophic event on Earth and not elsewhere), the guys explain how the fountains of the great deep launching debris into space beat up the moon and the rocky planets, explains meteoroids, populated the asteroid belt, and formed the comets and the TNOs. To understand all this better Bob and Fred recommend watching RSR's Global Flood and Hydroplate Theory video (or buying one to share) and reading Walt Brown's In the Beginning (or buying a case of eight as Christmas gifts for only $100 including shipping)! * And More New Stuff: The guys also report on a newly discovered DNA structure and a newly discovered human organ!

And: - Original dinosaur and other soft tissue will be found largely independent of the claimed age of the fossil. CONFIRMED in April 2014! The Journal of Paleontology reported original soft tissue in Precambrian "beard worms" that are allegedly 530 million years old!

* Italy Recovering: Begiining at seven minutes into today's broadcast (which airs on America's #1 most powerful Christian radio station), American Right To Life spokesman Bob Enyart debriefs Fred Williams on our just-completed Bible Tour of Israel: When in Rome, Do Romans. Regarding the unholy Roman Catholic Church which was on full display during our trip, hear about: - the arrests at the Vatican of Ken and Jo Scott (see below) - the Vatican hypocritically using a wall to keep out illegals and unwanteds - how the Vatican daily treats their thousands of visitors like animals - the profligate wealth somehow accumulated through a vow of poverty - how they eliminated the second commandment, "Thou shall not make for yourself a graven image" - the constant adoration of men including bishops and popes - the official word from the Roman Catholic Church that they don't know where Peter's wife is buried (and don't care) - the paintings and statues of naked men that surround the Pope - the unbiblical requirement of celibacy when even Peter was married - Michaelangelo's own guilt in the #MeToo and priest molestation scandals - the Pope thinking the crisis is in the demand for justice rather than in the decades of priests raping boys - and that the more one has to lose in this life, the harder it is to care about what he may lose in the next. In Italy They Say You Can’t Protest the Pope But when Denver Bible Church visits Rome, that’s just not the case. The state police told two members of this American congregation that it is illegal to “vilify” the Pope. However, by rejecting corroborated accusations and by exalting a bishop previously censured for having sex with seminarians, Pope Francis has vilified himself. During a Bible Tour of Italy called When in Rome, Do Romans (led by ARTL spokesman Bob Enyart), Ken and Jo Scott protested outside the walls of the papacy where thousands visiting the Vatican saw the message, in English and Italian, on their signs. Pope – Repent – Resign. The worldwide suffering caused by thousands of homosexual Roman Catholic priests raping children has even hit this small Colorado church. Years ago a DBC family lost a loved one when Stuart Saucke committed suicide after leaving behind a handwritten letter (see it at kgov.com/saucke). Stuart wrote about the Denver Archdiocese priest, Fr. Neil Hewitt, who got him drunk as a young boy, exposed him to pornography, and severely sexually molested him. Another Hewitt victim, Michael Smilanic, now of Florida, traveled to Denver for a radio interview with DBC pastor Bob Enyart (kgov.com/smilanic) to add his voice to the cries for justice against the Catholic Church. The Denver Archdiocese followed the worldwide systematic process of covering up accusations of child molestation by moving a predator priest to a new parish filled with unsuspecting families. Denver’s previous and current archbishops, Charles J. Chaput and Samuel J. Aquila, over many years have dodged and outright refused to answer the questions, asked in private at the archdiocese headquarters and publicly on the radio, by these families regarding what accusations had been leveled against Hewitt, who has since left the priesthood, during the years when the bishops were moving him around Denver and into the Leadville mountain parish. The rebuke of the Pope appeared to shock the crowds said Jo Scott. However, “Except for those who seemed to be officials, no one expressed disapproval, not even among the Vatican’s visitors many of whom must have been Catholic. And we got a lot of support from the locals and others.” Otherwise, said Ken, the first ninety minutes of the protest were quiet. “Until the police showed up.” On that Monday afternoon, October 8, 2018, “Vatican workers came out to confront us and called the police. That brought nine officers who pulled up in three police cars.” “For twenty minutes, half in Italian half in English, the police were trying to explain to my husband why we couldn’t be there
