The intersection of biblical studies, genetics, history, genealogy, and geography.
Genetic Engineering of Humans
What’s your response going to be the first time you hear that a human has been cloned? How are you going to react the first you hear that a baby has been born that has been genetically modified? What are you going to do when you go to the doctor with something and your doctor says, “Oh! We can fix that using genetic engineering. I ask those questions because they are not for tomorrow. They are not ten years from now. Those are questions that we are going to be facing in the immediate near future because they’re already possible to do.
My response to “Plandemic, part 1”
I will pull no punches here. PLANDEMIC Part 1 is atrocious.
Ancient History vs the Table of Nations
Dr C discusses the famous “Table of Nations” in Genesis chapter 10 and compares it to what we are learning about ancient human history. But most early humans left no trace of their existence and the Bible only explains the origin of people groups within a few hundred miles of Israel.
A Deluge of Data: why theory is struggling to keep up with modern genetics
Dr C talks about what it is like to be a geneticist in today's world. This is the first time in history where we have more 'data' than 'theory'. There is too much data! So be prepared for some of your cherished theories to be contradicted. This is a fun time to be a...
Don’t be Afraid of the Bible
Dr C is at a Christian university and takes the opportunity to speak on issues many theologians have with the book of Genesis. He ends with an encouraging call to remain faithful while studying hard.
Did Eve Live in Southern Africa?
Dr C discusses recent claims that the mother of every person alive on earth today lived in southern Africa, in what is now a vast desert. He points out several critical assumptions behind the conclusions and a couple of errors made by the researchers as they attempted to pinpoint the geographic location of the earliest humans.
Twisting Tales with Ancient DNA
The fact that ancient DNA exists at all is a minor miracle. And now that we have figured out how to extract it efficiently and sequence it accurately (more or less), we are suddenly able to answer many long-standing historical riddles. Dr. C explains how ancient DNA is revolutionizing our understanding of human history.
What on earth is a ‘gene’? Slicing and dicing the genome.
Dr. C attempts to explain how only 23,000 genes can manufacture hundreds of thousands of unique proteins in the human body.
The Genome is even more complicated than we imagined!
Dr. C tries to explain the complexity of the human genome. Problem is, nobody understands it because it is too complex! He compares the genome to a computer operating system, but this quickly gets eclipsed by what he calls the four-dimensional genome.
