The Privileged Planet: A Critique

One of my Creationist listeners has been kind enough to e-mail me with a question regarding the movie “The Privileged Planet: A Critique”. I will provide my critique of the film, which I have compiled briefly, after visiting the documentaries website, and why the order of thinking presented in the film is not proper. Before addressing these however, I will begin by addressing a Creationist claim presented to me by a Youth Group pastor — finding so-called “polystrate” fossils in the fossil record.

Oh, if I sound a bit nasally, or just different: I have a bit of a cold!

Reason for podcast delay

Hello everyone,

This weeks podcast will hopefully come out on the weekend, and if not then, early next week. The reason for the delay is this: a listener suggested I do a show on the video "The Privileged Planet", but the DVD has not shipped from Netflix yet! Hopefully I will get it by the weekend.

Thanks for waiting patiently everyone, and I hope the episode is out soon!

Baryogenesis: The Origin of Matter

This week we are going to attempt to tackle a rather difficult question: where did all the matter from the universe come from? This question is often asked by Creationists in an attempt to present God as a “viable option” though it is no more than a God-of-the-Gaps argument. What we will cover involves matter-energy relation, what baryons and anti-baryons are, the stages of the early universe, and finally, the matter dominance.

CP Violation

A quick google search should result in quite a bit on CP symmetry and violation, as well as baryogenesis.

Evolution, Atheism, and Anti-Matter

This weeks podcast discusses the claim that Evolution is Atheism. It points out numerous Biblical passages that denounce a literal interpretation of Genesis, and also discusses anti-matter.
