NERD AGONIES: Life as Creationist Grad Students in the Secular World, Pt. 3
NERDS go clubbing.
The phrase "Clubbing" usually refers to Night Clubbing, as in going to Night Clubs and partaking in the associated rancorous trappings.
But nerds go clubbing too, they do "Journal Clubbing" -- as in getting together to read through scientific journal articles.
Sal and Emory will do readings of peer-reviewed literature as well as personal essays and popular articles.
On the Docket:
Works of evolutionary biologist turned-ID hero Richard Sternberg
Revision by factors of 200 to Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA) estimates. Be careful about trying to affix dates to when an ancestor lived!!!
Genomic decay and death spiral in the much-vaunted and hyped Lenski experiment that was a disaster for evolutionary theory
Sal will then do a monologue:
Laser Stars and why we can't trust distance "measurements" of stars.
Ground-breaking discoveries in the chemical and electrical influence of radioisotopes and radioactive decay may clear the path for YECs!
Maxwell's Equations, Special Relativity, General Relativity, Variable Speed of Light theories, and the YEC distant starlight problem.
