This episode is based on CMI's booklet 15 Reasons to Take Genesis as History. It is a summary of some of the major arguments that the Genesis record must be taken as real historical events involving real people. Allegorical or mythological renderings result in massive theological difficulties.

📺 The Ultimate Proof of Creation. Pt. 1 of 4. (Creation vs. Evolution)

wwwgenesisprojectorg ^{📤 7 years ago 2010-08-30}

In this seminar Dr. Jason Lisle presents the ultimate proof for the existence of God and the truth of creation. He goes beyond the battle over "evidence," and demonstrates why and how we are to defend the faith. Dr. Lisle shows why secular worldviews (such as belief in Macro Evolutionary theory) cannot stand up to logical scrutiny, and how only the Christian worldview can account for the world we live in.

Though this is presented in a format intended for Christians, the content itself will be very interesting for anyone interested to see why Creation, as recorded in The Biblical book of Genesis, is the only rational answer for the existence of the universe.

Just a little note: While I'm all for dignified and respectful discussion, any comments which do not meet this criteria (such as containing profanity, for example) will be deleted. This post will not be a springboard for name-calling and venting. Having said that, comments and discussion are welcome! If you want to disagree with something Dr. Lisle shared, please be specific -- it will aid in fruitful discussion more than making sweeping generalities.

The pattern also allows you to eliminate code duplication. It separates behavior from super and subclasses. It is a super design pattern and is often the first one taught.

📺 Dragonflies: The Flying Aces of the Insect World - Science Nation

National Science Foundation ^{📤 6 years ago 2011-09-29}

Next time you see a dragonfly, try to watch it catch its next meal on the go. Good luck! "Unless we film it in high speed, we can't see whether it caught the prey, but when it gets back to its perch, if we see it chewing, we know that it was successful," says Stacey Combes a biomechanist at Harvard University. With support from the National Science Foundation, she and her team are using high-speed cameras to help them study how dragonflies pull off complicated aerial feats that include hunting and mating in mid-air. They can fly straight up, straight down, hover like helicopters and disappear in a blur. Combes is also exploring the use of dragonflies for mosquito control.

📺 The Amazing Mosquito Hawk | Creation vs. Evolution

Creation Moments TV ^{📤 3 years ago 2015-01-23}

Flight is a big problem for those who believe that we owe our existence to evolution. Birds, mammals, reptiles, insects, and even some fish fly or at least glide through the air in controlled flight. So many different creatures fly that evolutionists must say that flight evolved several different times. The dragonfly is among the best fliers in the animal kingdom. The dragonfly can beat its four wings in unison or separately depending on the maneuver it wants to make. Dragonflies can fly at speeds up to 25 miles an hour and even faster. They can hover, take off backward and even make an unbanked turn. The dragonfly eats small insects, including mosquitoes, earning it the nickname "mosquito hawk." A dragonfly can see a gnat from three feet away, fly to it, capture it and return to its original position in just over one second! One third to one half of its body mass is made up of flight muscles. Its two eyes have a total of 60,000 lenses and are situated so that its range of vision is nearly 360 degrees. Dragonflies not only appear in the fossil record fully formed, but in much greater variety than today. One fossilized dragonfly was the size of a crow! Even the United States Air Force has studied the dragonfly to learn how it flies. The dragonfly is no product of natural selection. It is clearly a specially designed creature whose Designer understands flight better than we do. This Designer is our Creator God.

Prayer: I thank You, dear Father, for the beauty and wonder of the dragonfly. You are truly to be glorified! In Jesus' Name. Amen.

📺 Robotic insect: world's smallest flying robot makes first flight

The Telegraph ^{📤 5 years ago 2013-05-03}

Scientists at Harvard University have created a flying robot that can sit on a fingertip. Inspired by the biology of a fly, the robot is able to perform the agile movements of an insect.

Researchers at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) put a decade's work into developing the penny-sized robot, before it took off for the first time.

Please Share with your friends if you enjoyed it.

The camera we used is the Phantom Miro 320S

The footage we obtained was incredible. I'll demonstrate that in upcoming videos.

Thanks to Rainforest Expeditions for inviting me down, if you'd like to go down to the Amazon Rainforest and see all of this for yourself check them out at
Phil Torres is the Conservation Biologist in the video who was wise enough to bring his books to the middle of the jungle! You can tweet Phil ( )

The music is an original work by Gordon McGladdery of A Shell in the Pit, who went to Peru with me.
Gordon had to pay for his flight down to Peru and hasn't made his money back yet.
Please donate something in exchange for his awesome work!

Alexander Spenny was kind enough to my request via twitter and created the Wasp and Dragonfly face. I think they're great.

📺 Dragonfly World

KennethKramm ^{📤 7 years ago 2010-07-12}

This video provides an up-close and personal view of dragonflies. See them fly in slow motion, eat insects, and breathe through spiracles (holes) in their abdomens.

Despite their name, dragonflies are not related to common flies. In fact, they are part of an entirely different group of insects. Dragonflies are part of the Odonata Order, which have roamed Planet Earth for approximately 300 million years.

Dragonflies are predators, feeding on creatures smaller than themselves. They are useful in controlling mosquitos. They have large multifaceted (compound) eyes that can see nearly 360 degrees. As far as insects go, dragonflies are among the fastest. Some species can fly up to 30 miles per hour and quickly and accurately change directions.

Dragoneflies in this video:
20sec. Halloween Pennant
31 sec. Needham's Skimmer male
34 sec. Needham's Skimmer female
1.01 Eastern Pondhawk male
2.19 Needham's Skimmer female
2.36 still Needham's Skimmer male
2.45 still Black Saddlebags

The video was filmed at The Spring Creek Greenway, Texas (Montgomery County Preserve, Old Riley Fuzzel Road Preserve, Pundt Park and Jesse H Jones Park). The Greenway is an important segment of the Sam Houston Trail & Wilderness Preserve, designed to connect and protect up to 12,000 acres of forest. See: for additional information.

📺 Light sensitive species - a problem for dinosaur extinction theories

CMIcreationstation ^{📤 7 months ago 2017-11-03}

One of the biggest mysteries in earth history is what caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. There are over 100 theories, including the suggestion that dinosaurs suffered from slipped discs, shrinking brains or chronic constipation. The most popular idea is that a meteorite hit the earth and caused dramatic changes in earth’s climate, which led to the demise of the dinosaurs.
However, even though this story is often repeated as fact, many scientists don’t believe it.
For instance, in their book The Great Dinosaur Extinction Controversy, two evolutionary scientists explain how the meteorite idea has become a new dogma that has outstripped the evidence. They expose many problems with the theory. For instance, how did some organisms that require daily sunlight inexplicably manage to survive an event that supposedly blacked out the sun and caused 50% of species on earth to go extinct!
So, it appears that even the best evolutionary theory of dinosaur extinction can’t see the light of day!

📺 Helicopter Rotor Blade Tip Vortices

Hueyfan45 ^{📤 6 years ago 2012-03-20}

Rotor blade with double tips: Each blade has two delta shaped sub-wings.
The forward delta subwing tip is slightly outside( longer radius) the back subwing tip.
The experiment was filmed with casio fh25 high speed camera. The camera
was set to 420fps.

A blade where the forward sub-wing has a slightly longer radius creates a lower noise signature then a blade with sub-wings of the same radius.

The interaction between the vortices recduces the overall swirl a little.

Rotor Radius: 439.5 mm
Tip speed: 82.84 m/s
Collective pitch: 6.5 deg
Twist: 0 deg
Rotational frequency:188.5
Tip Mach number: 0.24
