Scientific Frustration
Something that continues to frustrate me is that Darwinists would like people to believe that their “science” is in the same category as mine and that of my colleagues who are working on the development of hypersonic inflatable aerodynamic decelerators. We must get stuff right. There is accountability. If the thing burns up, is aerodynamically or structurally deficient, and falls apart and goes down in flames, we are proven to be wrong and incompetent. There is no such standard for Darwinists. They just make up stories and call it science. When their theories/stories go down in flames (e.g., junk DNA) they just proclaim victory, that Darwinian theory is still incontrovertible and fully intact, and walk away. It would be as Read More ›

Number 1 Educational System Dumps Darwinism
Who is #1 in education at the grade school level? In 2010 it was South Korea. World Education Rankings Math Science Reading And who is #1 in dumping Darwinism from the educational system? From the pages of the prestigious scientific journal Nature it would seem it is also South Korea.

Design perspectives and the physiology of walking
Bipedalism, walking and running are characteristics that we tend to take for granted because they are so much a part of human experience. Yet, each of these traits requires a set of inter-related components and information processing machinery. To appreciate this, all we need to do is to reflect on the challenges faced by robot engineers attempting to mimic human behaviour (see also Walking with arthropods). New insights into the physiology of walking are provided in a recent analysis of the heel-sole-toe stance of the human foot. The authors recognise that the morphology and action they are studying is unusual among cursors, and this leads them to make a design inference. The hypothesis is that there are physiological reasons for Read More ›

Here’s the Tip of the Iceberg on Cellular Regulation and it Has Evolutionists Drinking Alone Again
A recent study of how phosphate groups regulate proteins uncovered a complex network of interactions. Kinases are proteins that add a phosphate group to a molecule, such as another protein, and phosphatases are proteins that remove the phosphate group. A protein is phosphorylated when a phosphate group is attached to a hydroxyl group in the side chain of a specific and particular amino acid out of the hundreds in the protein. Such phosphorylation controls the protein’s activity, for instance by altering the protein’s shape or attracting another molecule to bind to the protein. Furthermore, the kinase and phosphatase proteins themselves are regulated. It’s just a small bit, as the study helped demonstrate, of the cell’s immensely complex regulation network. Of course this Read More ›
