Starlight and Time with Dr. Russell Humphreys
Based on the Bible the universe is just thousands of years old, so how can we see stars that are billions of light-years away. Dr Russell Humphreys' White Hole Cosmology deals with this question with a scientifically sound solution based on the physics of Einstein's relativity.

Video on Science and Politics
Video on Science and Politics
When ever science and politics interact science is more often than not the looser. This does not mean that all interactions between science and government are negative but the overall affect on science is negative. The Reason for this is that politics is about acquiring and holding on to power and not knowledge.

Genesis 2:17
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil mentioned is first mentioned in Genesis 2:17. Note that name of the tree is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and not the the knowledge as some have claimed.

Quantum Physics and Free Will
Quantum Physics and Free Will
The above link deals with the question of free will which is part of the the mind brain problem, that is are the mind and brain one and the same (monism) or are they different entries. (dualism) The paper mentioned in this video is called Synaptic Quantum Tunnelling in Brain Activity and it shows that synaptic activity requires quantum tunneling on demand to work. This quantum tunneling has only a one in ten million chance of occurring naturally. The result is that the human mind has to be controlling this quantum tunneling, meaning that it has to be in some manner independent of the brain. This eliminates a big argument against dualism, which is the lack of a control mechanism for the sole over the brain and quantum tunneling on demand provides this control mechanism.

Yeast designed for rapid adaptation to stressful environments
Yeast designed for rapid adaptation to stressful environments
Experiments with yeast show that in stressful environments increase their genetic flexibility allowing rapid adaptation. Studies at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research have reportrf that when yeast is placed in a stressful environment that their genomes become less stable. The yeast genomes shows added flexibility involving losing or acquiring enter chromosomes so as to adapt rapidly
From a creation perspective this in not a problem but something that current creation science models of post Flood adaptation predicts. It shows that the animals that came off of the Ark could have quickly adapted to post Flood environment which would have been stressful.

Genesis 2:15-16
Man’s pre-fall occupation in the Garden of Eden mentioned in Genesis 2:15-16
Man is place in the garden to tend it thus showing that work proceeds man's fall. This work would not have been the drudgery that is often seen in work today that is shown to have cone into play after the fall as part of the curse.

Debate in Science
Debate is a way for science to deal with disputes over theory since in an ideal situation both sides get to make their case. The benefits of debate are that both sides get to make their case and get to a chance to learn about the other side and their own side as well.
