The intersection of biblical studies, genetics, history, genealogy, and geography.
Human vs Chimp part 2
This is the second installment in a now multi-part series on human and chimpanzee genetic differences. I had a lot of pushback from my last episode, including negative reviews posted by Gutsick Gibbon, Creation Myths, and Dapper Dinosaur. Unperturbed, I push on. Here,...
Human vs Chimp: an honest evaluation of our genetic differences
Several anti-creationists have made a hobby out of attacking creationists. Their best efforts, however, have generally failed. For example, see: Sanford 2013 Critic ignores reality of Genetic Entropy: the author of a landmark book on genomic decay responds to...
Eschatological Genetics
Dr Rob outlines three aspects of genetics that tell us that, scientifically, the human species is doomed to eventual extinction. These include the rate of mutation accumulation in our population over time, the inability of natural selection to remove most of those...
Fisher’s failure and the dramatic end of neo-Darwinism
Dr Rob discusses a fundamental aspect of neo-Darwinism (Fisher's Theorem of Natural Selection) and how it fails mathematically. First postulated in 1930, Fisher's idea was promoted as something as firm and settled as the 2nd Law. Problem is, he made several incorrect...
Geeking out about DNA damage repair
Dr Rob waxes eloquent about some amazing new revelations involving DNA damage repair systems. Researchers recently turned AI onto the human genome, probing the genes and gene systems that are involved in maintaining and repairing DNA. The results shocked everyone....
Why you can’t trace your family tree to Adam and Eve
Everybody loves genealogy, but we are severely limited in what we can know about our family histories. There are two main reasons for this. First, family records only go back so far. Even the longest family trees can't go back thousands of years. Second, personal...
It’s an RNA world after all
Notes and links: Genetic Entropy, by John Sanford Keffer oak RNA: the epicenter of genetic information, by John Mattick and Paulo Amaral (reviewed by Witold Filipowicz)
Bacteria deceived us! Life is not simple
Science advances in fits and starts, and it sometimes takes a detour onto a dead-end road. Bacteria represent one of those roads. Studying bacteria gave us a sense that we could easily figure out biology, that there was a direct connection between genes and behavior,...
How I made fluorescent fish (a Christian response to genetic engineering)
Genetic engineering is a controversial topic. From vaccines to fetal cells to transhumanism, the debate rages. Yet, there are certain aspects to genetic engineering that are demonstrably good. How are we supposed to make heads or tails of this new technology,...
