📺 Skepticism, Probability, and Common Sense

CMIcreationstation ^{📤 5 years ago 2012-09-27}

Imagine hearing that someone has just won the lottery three times in the same year, or a golfer has hit five consecutive holes-in-one!

We approach such improbable stories with healthy skepticism.

Considering the formation of the first living cell by a perfect arrangement of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and genetic material in a 'warm pond', Nobel Prize winner, Francis Crick, said: "... it seems almost impossible to give any numerical value to the probability of what seems a rather unlikely sequence of events .... An honest man ... could only state that in some sense, the origin of life appears at the moment to be almost a miracle ..."

The evolutionist Robert Shapiro at this point would prefer to abandon all skepticism, "Why need the event have been probable? We can just stare at the odds, shrug, and note with thanks how lucky we were ..."

When we abandon healthy skepticism, only gullibility remains—to invoke miracles without God.

📺 The Improbable Truth about Numbers

World Science Festival ^{📤 3 years ago 2014-07-29}

Four out of five dentists recommend a name brand toothpaste. One in ten people will develop a deadly cancer. 97% of statistics are made up on the spot. As humans, we have a tendency to take numbers as the whole truth. They give us a sense of objectivity. But as author Charles Seife explains in this introduction to The Illusion of Certainty, no matter how concrete numbers are, the fact that they are measured and interpreted by humans makes them fuzzy, or even flawed.

📺 Planets in Our Solar System and Universe Beyond - Solar System Exploration

Universe Documentary HD ^{📤 1 month ago 2018-05-16}

A solar system is a star and all of the objects that travel around it—planets, moons, asteroids, comets and meteoroids. Most stars host their own planets, so there are likely tens of billions of other solar systems in the Milky Way galaxy alone. Solar systems can also have more than one star. These are called binary star systems if there are two stars, or multi-star systems if there are three or more stars.

📺 Conan O'Brien on Trusting Information vs. Healthy Skepticism (with Nate Silver)

Nik Z ^{📤 4 years ago 2014-04-22}

"We've all become children at a certain point, I trust that 'Dad' or 'Mom' is taking care of certain stuff; I thought a Triple A rating was really vetted. We now know that nothing could be further from the truth." - Conan O'Brien

"We're learning that we have to be skeptical of a lot of different institutions, right? Including government and business and many different things. At what point can you have healthy skepticism without becoming a conspiracy theorist?..." - Nate Silver

📺 Pain in Pedigree Pups

CMIcreationstation ^{📤 5 years ago 2012-10-30}

The breeding of pedigree dogs is causing them to suffer great pain. According to Steve Jones, Professor of genetics at University College London, some dog breeds are "paying a terrible price in genetic disease".
One award-winning Cavalier King Charles spaniel was even suffering from a condition where its skull was too small for its brain.
Following Darwin, evolutionists often claim that selection—artificial or natural—is a creative force that can change microbes into microbiologists. However, in selecting one animal or plant over another, the genes of the non-selected one are lost. So selection gets rid of genetic information; it does not create it. For evolution to be believable, natural selection would need to create new genes with the specifications for all the features that humans have and microbes don't.
Natural selection happens in today's world, but it is not capable of changing microbes into mankind.

If evolution was true, the further back into history we look, evidence should show a gradual decline in man's intelligence. Science shows otherwise. Man, created in God’s image, has always been intelligent.

The International Space Station - ISS - circles the earth at 240 miles above the planet, on the edge of space in low earth orbit. The station is crewed by NASA astronauts as well as Russian Cosmonauts and a mixture of Japanese, Canadian and European astronauts as well.

The signal is temporarily lost from the international space station, live on UStream.tv

The ISS passes into the dark side of the earth for roughly half of each of its 90-minute orbits. As the Space Station passes into a period of night every 45 mins video is unavailable - during this time, and other breaks in transmission recorded footage is shown when back in daylight earth will recommence.

📺 Evolution is Wrong: Darwinism Exposed - FREE MOVIE

Worldwide Multimedia ^{📤 5 years ago 2013-03-19}

Should we believe the current theory of evolution? Was Darwin right? Or is there an alternative?

Dr. Anthony Latham authored the book, Naked Emperor, and has spent many years showing how the facts simply don't fit the theory.

Using the latest biological arguments and his own knowledge of anatomy, Latham seeks to challenge the presumption that everything we see came from some kind of freak accident. Looking closely at macro and micro evolution he shows that there had to be a greater intelligence behind existence itself.
