Origin of Skunk Spray
Guests: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer Description: I often wondered who the unfortunate graduate student was who got the assignment of determining the chemical formula of skunk spray. This was finally done in 1980, and the unpleasant odor comes from thiols, which are sulfur compounds. Though it is obvious that this is a created feature, one wonders if it was always that way or if it was the result of the fall. There is very little information about skunk evolution, and one has to

The Chemistry of Dirt and Dirt on Mars
Guests: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer There is a vast difference between Martian soil and soil on the earth. Martian soil does not contain organic matter and contains toxic perchlorates that interfere with the formation of life. Scientists speculate terraforming Mars into an environment that resembles earth, but that would mean transporting organic material to that planet, changing the atmosphere, warming the planet, creating an ocean, and starting life there. But if you compare t

The Hydrogen Bond
We owe our existence to an abundance of features of chemical elements designed by God in perfect proportion to its role in sustaining life. One such feature is the hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds are forces where a hydrogen atom is weakly attracted to an unshared electron pair of another atom, commonly oxygen. It is this weak force that makes water a liquid, not a solid. Therefore, the hydrogen bond is the sticky note glue that holds the universe together. The chemistry of wate

A Biochemistry Lesson
An explanation how complex bonding of molecules in proteins causes them to fold up into a three dimensional shape that facilitates it to perform active functions in life. Proteins are made up of amino acids, and each of the 20 amino acids have an amine group and an acid group where they form the peptide bond. The peptide bond requires the removal of water, which is what life does automatically, but it creates problems for those who want to emulate the origin of life. Each ami

Elements of the Bible
ELEMENTS OF THE PERIODIC TABLE ARE REVEALED IN THE BIBLE
Properties: Several elements of the Periodic Table are revealed in the Bible in the context of their properties. We talk about 10 of them. During its writing, the Bible had already suggested that pure materials were the building blocks of the World. However, ancient Greece’s “Earth, Air, Fire, Water” theory was gaining popularity. It was a false “science” that a person could believe even back in Biblical times.

The Periodic Table Found in Daniel Chapter 2
1. The Image of Nebuchadnezzar featured in the dream that Daniel interpreted in Chapter 2 was a prophetic message foretelling the rise and subsequent fall of 5 world kingdoms, the last still to be realized. The statue in the dream had five distinct sections, each made of a different material: A Head of Gold, Breast/Arms of Silver, Belly/Thighs of Brass, Legs of Iron, Feet parts of Iron and Clay. From a science perspective, these are listed in reverse Periodic Table of Eleme

The Nature of the Chemical Bond
Understanding basic chemistry leads to solutions to two important issues for creation scientists. It helps understand how leaching may occur in radioisotope sample causing dates to be skewed dramatically toward deep time. It also helps us to understand how bonding of various types leads to the processes we observe in life. Each element had a nucleus of protons and neutrons, and that nucleus is surrounded by electrons. Electrons have four types of orbitals: s, p, d and f. The

The Broken Clocks of Deep Time
Evolutionists use radiometric dating methods to justify their claims of deep time. But are the results accurate? Charlie Wolcott explains the assumptions of radiometric dating and analyzes the exponential decay function which is the primary equation that is used to derive the age of the earth and the rock layers in the geologic column. The assumptions with the decay equation are:
1. Known initial amount of parent isotope
2. Known initial amount of daughter isotope
3. Constant

How I Found God in Quantum Chemistry Class
Dr. Mike Nolan describes his experiences in graduate school that started him on a search for an explanation for what he saw in all of the complex rules and equations he learned in quantum chemistry class. There, he was compelled to understand principles like Schroedinger’s equation that defined the wave orbital structure of electrons about the nucleus of an atom. He deduced that the world is governed by these interrelated rules, and they must have come from some higher intell

Did God Use 200-bit Encryption When Creating Life?
Derek Marshall explains that there is evidence of design in that the biological molecules of earth are formed from 5-6 elements from the 3rd period of the periodic table creating a digital combination lock, a form of encryption. The chemical space created by this encryption is a possible 10 to the 60th power of possible organic compounds under 500 Daltons. Derek’s model shows that generation of the larger amino acids of the 20 that are used by life are not probable under orig

The Periodic Table Found in Solomon’s Molten Sea
The dimensions of the molten sea found in Solomon’s temple have often been a bit of controversy among skeptics of the bible who point out that the diameter and circumference don’t quite accurately reflect pi. In addition one account talks about the volume being 2,000 baths, and another 3,000. Derek Marshall solves these issues and observes that the dimensions of each of the parts of the molten sea reflect God’s design in the periodic table of elements.
