The Ultimate Proof of Creation. Pt. 1 of 4. (Creation vs. Evolution)
wwwgenesisprojectorg 📤 8 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.

Insects outnumber humans by a lot and we only like to think we're in charge because we're bigger than they are. But insects and other arthropods weren’t always so small. About 315 million years ago during the Carboniferous Period, they were not only abundant: they were enormous.

Atheistic evolutionists would have us believe the entire universe is the result of a cosmic accident. That would mean that the earth really has no significance other than what blind chance brought about. We discuss an article by Dr Jonathan Sarfati that reveals just how special the earth actually is and why that supports a belief in the God of the Bible!

Spyro 3 history - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVQqaGrmNQ8


It’s time for another dive into the magical world of Spyro the Dragon, and today we’re going to look into the history of the most notorious game in the series – Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly.

If you know your Spyro history or watched my previous Spyro video, you’ll know that Enter the Dragonfly was the first in the series not to be made by Insomniac Games. Instead, Universal Interactive hired Equinoxe Digital Entertainment and Check Six Studios to make the first Spyro game on the Playstation 2 and Gamecube.

The game was originally going to be about the return of Gnasty Gnorc and Ripto, who would team up to bring about the downfall of the dragons by stealing their dragonflies. The game would feature 120 dragonflies to collect, 25 realms to explore, and due to the power of the PS2 and Gamecube, a steady 60fps for the NTSC version and super-fast loading times.

Instead of featuring those 120 dragonflies and 25 realms we were promised though, the developers only managed 90 dragonflies and 9 realms, even if you include the boss arena. Needless to say the game was considered a failure, and it ended up being the only game Equinoxe Digital Entertainment and Check Six Studios would ever release.

The story of Enter the Dragonfly begins shortly after Year of the Dragon. A party is being held to celebrate the giving of dragonflies to the baby dragons which were rescued in the previous game. Spyro, Sparx, Hunter, Bianca and a number of baby dragons and dragonflies are in attendance, when suddenly a crack of lightning hits the ground and a portal appears. Out comes none other than Ripto, the antagonist of Spyro 2. He’s even brought his minions, Crush and Gulp. After a little speech, Ripto wastes no time in poofing away all the dragonflies, including Sparx.

Luckily, he’s not a very good sorcerer, and Bianca realises that Sparx hasn’t gone far and guides Spyro to him. Bianca then comes up with the idea of empowering Spyro with different breath abilities that will help him in retrieving the lost dragonflies. Unfortunately she seems just as hopeless with her magic as Ripto, and while Spyro can technically use different breath attacks now, she explains he’ll have to find particular dragon runes to enable each one. It’s then that the plucky purple dragon and his sparkly sidekick set off to find the dragonflies and collect all the magic runes.

In terms of controls Enter the Dragonfly plays more or less the same as Year of the Dragon, with a few extras thrown in. It’s still circle to breath attack, square to charge, X to jump and again to glide, and triangle to hover at the end of a glide, look around while stationary and of course headbash. The newest abilities Spyro will learn are his various breath attacks and Wing Shield. These are taught by finding and collecting various runes scattered about the realms.

To cycle through all of Spyro’s different breath attacks you’ll need to hit L1. R1 is used to show the inventory but the most you’ll carry at one time is a rune or key, not exactly difficult to remember. And apart from Sparx’s ability to spot treasure by holding down the L3 and R3 buttons, that’s it in terms of controls.

Sale wise Enter the Dragonfly actually did rather well, but I guess that’s because it was riding on the success of Year of the Dragon. Just like its predecessor, the PS2 version of Enter the Dragonfly received a Platinum sales award from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association for selling over 300,000 units in the UK.

High sales don’t indicate high quality though, and reviews for Enter the Dragonfly ranged from mixed to negative. While critics praised the wonderful soundtrack and some even liked the graphics, others were not impressed by the pace of the game, boring story and how there was nothing particularly new brought to the table.

Most of us agree lightning is one of nature’s most mesmerizing light shows. In June I’m usually trying to track down the most magnificent storms and every now and then, I’ll stumble across one of Mother Nature’s other fascinating light shows. Fireflies

On this magical evening in Kansas the camera set up to capture the storm, was getting photobombed by the bright little bugs. More and more my attention was turning away from the flashing in the clouds and into the flashing in the trees.

Well Into the AM hours, as the thunderstorm was winding down, the beaming little bugs were just amping up.

Discoveries of Exoplanets - It's Time to Meet the Neighbours
Space & The Universe HD 📤 5 days ago 2019-02-15
An exoplanet (extrasolar planet) is a planet located outside the Solar System. The first evidence of an exoplanet was noted as early as 1917, but was not recognized as such. However, the first scientific detection of an exoplanet began in 1988. Shortly afterwards, the first confirmed detection came in 1992, with the discovery of several terrestrial-mass planets orbiting the pulsar PSR B1257+12. The first confirmation of an exoplanet orbiting a main-sequence star was made in 1995, when a giant planet was found in a four-day orbit around the nearby star 51 Pegasi. Some exoplanets have been imaged directly by telescopes, but the vast majority have been detected through indirect methods, such as the transit method and the radial-velocity method. As of 1 February 2019, there are 3,976 confirmed planets in 2,971 systems, with 653 systems having more than one planet. This is a list of the most notable discoveries.

Investigating the Secrets of Dragonfly Flight
University of Virginia 📤 4 years ago 2014-09-12
The flight capabilities of flexible-winged insects are the subject of Professor Haibo Dong's research in the Flow Simulation Research Group at the University of Virginia. His team uses high speed video cameras and advanced computational systems to build 3-dimensional models of flying insects and the vortex structure of airflows created by their flight. The project's goal is to improve the design of small flying robots.

Dragonflies are incredible fliers, with the ability to even fly backwards! The modern day helicopter is based off of this insects design! How could this little insect accidently evolve such complex flying capabilities?

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: http://www.springcreekgreenway.com/the_project.htm for additional information.

Filmed on location in the Rainforests of Eastern Peru. I was on a tour run by Rainforest Expeditions (http://www.perunature.com)
Please Share with your friends if you enjoyed it.

The camera we used is the Phantom Miro 320S
http://www.visionresearch.com/Products/High-Speed-Cameras/Phantom-Miro-M320S/
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 http://www.perunature.com
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 (http://www.twitter.com/phil_torres)

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.

ERRORS:
Yes, I misspelled ODONATA on the title screen. Yes it bothers me.

Tweet ideas to me @SmarterYouTube

Instead of saving for my kids' college, I make videos using the money I would have saved.
The thought is it will help educate the world as a whole, and one day generate enough revenue to pay for their education. Until then if you appreciate what you've learned in this video and the effort that went in to it, please SHARE THE VIDEO!

If you REALLY liked it, feel free to pitch a few dollars towards their college fund by clicking here:

Aerodynamic SmartBird flight model - Bird flight deciphered: http://www.festo.com/smartbird_en

Aerodynamisches Flugmodell SmartBird - Vogelflug entschlüsselt: http://www.festo.com/smartbird_de

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------­­-------------------------

SmartBird is an ultralight but powerful flight model with excellent aerodynamic qualities and extreme agility. With SmartBird, Festo has succeeded in deciphering the flight of birds - one of the oldest dreams of humankind.

This bionic technology-bearer, which is inspired by the herring gull, can start, fly and land autonomously -- with no additional drive mechanism. Its wings not only beat up and down, but also twist at specific angles. This is made possible by an active articulated torsional drive unit, which in combination with a complex control system attains an unprecedented level of efficiency in flight operation. Festo has thus succeeded for the first time in creating an energy-efficient technical adaptation of this model from nature.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------­­-------------------------

SmartBird ist ein ultraleichtes, aber leistungsstarkes Flugmodell mit einer hervorragenden Aerodynamik und maximaler Agilität. Mit SmartBird ist es Festo gelungen, einen der ältesten Menschheitsträume zu entschlüsseln: den Vogelflug.

Der von der Silbermöwe inspirierte, bionische Technologieträger kann von selbst starten, fliegen und landen - ohne zusätzlichen Antrieb. Seine Flügel schlagen dabei nicht nur auf und ab, sondern verdrehen sich gezielt. Dies geschieht durch einen aktiven Gelenktorsionsantrieb, der in Verbindung mit einer komplexen Regelung bisher unerreichte Wirkungsgrade im Flugbetrieb realisiert. Damit gelingt Festo erstmals eine energieeffiziente, technische Adaption des natürlichen Vorbilds.
