The intersection of biblical studies, genetics, history, genealogy, and geography.
How the butterfly got its stripes
The genetics of the humble butterfly tells us a lot about the creation-evolution debate, the definition of 'species', the definition of 'junk DNA', and how complex the control systems for things like wing patterns are. The 'unit' of creation is not the species but the...
Why Egyptians are not ‘Black’
Egyptian culture is thousands of years old, yet they never maintained perfect isolation from the nations among whom they lived. They have been conquered and they themselves have conquered many times. Invading armies brought hordes of soldiers, who would have left...
DNA of the Ancient Pharaohs
Dr Rob describes the horrible levels of inbreeding within the ancient Egyptian royal family and how this affected them over time. This includes the problems we see in the mummies of King Tut and his father Akhenaten, plus further up the family tree in the time of...
How did they build the pyramids so soon after Noah’s Flood?
Dr Rob travels to Egypt to answer some difficult questions about the biblical timeline, population growth, the people of Egypt, and how, on earth, there were enough people to build the pyramids just a few centuries after Babel. Notes and links: Tour Egypt with CMI...
Fighting among the creationists?
Dr Rob talks about how divisions and disagreements are not only necessary but also productive for scientific progress. Thus, when you see two scientists disagreeing, this does not mean they hate each other or that they are necessarily refuting each other. He talks...
There is no Y Chromosome Clock
The 'molecular clock hypothesis' is critical for evolutionary theory. If it fails, many evolutionary speculations will fall as well. Yet, there is abundant evidence that mutations in the Y chromosome have happened at different rates among different people groups. If...
Evolution’s Wobbly Foundation
During the process of protein translation, the cell matches three letters in DNA for each amino acid. But there are 4 x 4 x 4 = 64 possible 3-letter combination and only 20 amino acids. This means that most amino acids have more than one code and that many mutations...
Adam and Eve did not live 200,000 years ago
Dr Rob explains an issue in the creation vs. evolution debate: how fast mutations accumulate. The rate we can measure in families (the 'genealogical' rate) is much faster than the rate at which it is claimed mutations accumulate in the population (the 'phylogenetic'...
