CYKIAE (Christ You Know It Ain't Easy)

In 1999, the editor of the prestigious scientific magazine Nature, Henry Gee wrote "it is effectively impossible to link fossils into chains of cause and effect in any valid way. To take a line of fossils and claim that they represent a lineage is not a scientific hypothesis that can be tested, but an assertion that carries the same validity as a bedtime story — amusing, perhaps even instructive, but not scientific."

Thanks to our discovery of DNA, RNA and all things associated with them, and what we know of how it operates, we now know that every living system, just like your computer, is powered by its own operating system to power what it is and what it does. Until that discovery we used to think that our universe was made up of just matter and energy. Now we know living things, besides energy and matter, also need information. A new species...

Darwin admitted that if an irreducibly complex form of life was found, then his Theory of Evolution would be proven to be a failure. Richard Dawkins agreed, although he lifted the bar that Darwin had set. Perhaps Dawkins was trying to keep his life’s work of promoting the still unproven theory of evolution alive.  Today Darwin’s Theory of Evolution has remained unproven and increasingly dubious because over the 175 years since his ...

In my previous programmes I’ve looked at serious problems with Darwin’s still unproven Theory of Evolution. Problems that he knew about when his book On the Origin of Species was published. Here’s another one. The late Sir Charles Darwin wrote in his book:

 If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely bre...

I think I’m probably right in assuming that most of you have heard of the Big Bang. It says that first there was nothing and then it exploded and became our universe. But have you heard of the Big Life Explosions. They happened mainly in the Cambrian period - 542 to 488.3 million years ago. But they also happened in other periods as well. When they happened winged insects, birds, flowering plants, mammals, and many other groups app...

Darwin was exactly like Einstein – only not in the good way that turned out for him. I’ll tell you about that later in this programme.

DARWIN WROTE IN THE FIRST EDITION OF THE ORIGIN OF SPECIES that North American black bears had been seen "swimming for hours with widely open mouth, thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water." What did this have to do with the subject of his book? "Even in so extreme a case as this," Darwin continued, "if the supply of insects were constant, and if better adapted competitors did not already exist in...

Now I’m about to enter into a discussion of Darwin’s Theory of Evolution. I’ll be putting material that doesn’t agree with that theory, and that’s very brave of me. Maybe insanely brave. Maybe mad.

John Lennox, in his book, God’s Undertaker explained why recounting this story:

A leading Chinese palaeontologist Jun-Yuan Chen ran into this problem when visiting the USA in 1999. His work on the remarkable discoveries in Chengjiang of st...

The first great fall of man, that we know about, happened with Adam and Eve. Man was expelled from paradise, the Garden of Eden. Paradise was lost.

But then thousands of years later, in 1859, the world, looked at from the point of view of the British Empire, was living in another golden age, perhaps in a new Garden of Eden, as if we’d somehow managed  to find our way back into Eden. But then, perhaps even more startling, a new revel...

Carl Sagan was probably the best known scientist in the West in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1980 his 13 part series, Cosmos, aired and was a spectacular hit. In the very opening of the series he told his audience this:

So according to Carl Sagan, the cosmos is all that is, or ever was, or ever will be. To elaborate he meant that the universe was made only from things in our universe -- matter and energy. Explicitly he was saying that th...

A great thinker said that the the medieval mind was broader than ours because they believed that the ultimate realities were outside place and time and that man could commune with them through mystical experience and after the death of the body. Who was it that said that?

In his book, 12 Rules for Life, Jordan Peterson wrote:

So why not call this a book of "guidelines," a far more relaxed, user-friendly and less rigid sounding term than "rules"?

Because these really are rules. And the foremost rule is that you must take responsibility for your own life. Period.

One might think that a generation that has heard endlessly, from their more ideological teachers, about the rights, rights,...

Dr Frankl, now liberated from the death camps, wrote in his book Man’s Search for Meaning: We came to meadows full of flowers. We saw and realized that they were there, but we had no feelings about them. The prisoners of the Nazi death camps had been gutted. Would they ever feel again?

Dr Frankl, Dr Iacoboni and Carter would have definitely related to the lyrics of the Bee Gees “Stayin’ Alive”:

Life goin' nowhere
Somebody help me
Somebody help me, yeah
Life goin' nowhere
Somebody help me, yeah
I'm stayin' alive

But would they? Would they stay alive?

Death, in the form of cancer, had invaded Maria’s body – but she wasn’t afraid. Why not? Who would win – Maria or death? So many before, in her position, had been carried off by the Grim Reaper. Over 50 years before, in Hitler’s ever diminishing Greater German Reich, for Jews, death could come at any time from any one of many places or people in the Nazi death camps, or they could, instead, take their own lives – but these men didn...

There is the other side. Crossing over to the other side. To Dr Viktor Frankl it meant one thing – betrayal. To Dr Stephen Iacoboni it meant something else, something divine. Let’s dive deep into these two very different experiences.
