With Steve Spracklen, ragtime pianist The Lewiston Area Historical Society hosts ragtime pianist Steve Spracklen in concert at the museum. The Lewiston Area Historical Society maintains several buildings full of artifacts of the lumbering era which took place between 1891 and 1910. After the lumbering operation was over, the town survived with farming and tourism. Lewiston is a playground for hunters and fishermen, and there is a great effort by the residents to preserve thei

Whale evolution is disputed. Research on the whale's song has revealed little about whale communication despite over 60 years of research.

Hosts: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer Guest: Jerry Bergman, Ph.D. Dr. Jerry Bergman joins us to discuss how peer pressure causes people to make wrong choices about their spiritual life. Standing up for the truth can be difficult and it is tragic that church leaders cave in to accept and teach unscientific theories with poor theological scholarship because it gives the illusion of being tolerant and accepting. Theistic evolution is just that, a worldview that has evolutionary roots

Hosts: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer In April 2024, scientists observed the sea floor split wide open. Earlier that year, in February, marine geophysicist Jean-Yves Royer of the French National Center of Scientific Research deployed the Observatory with Hydro-Acoustics and Geodesy near Amsterdam Island on the Southeast Indian Ridge between Australia and Antarctica. This is part of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands and includes the Kerguelen Islands, MacDonald and Heard Islan

What influence did Christianity have upon the founding of the United States of America?

Hosts: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer Our culture in recent years has fallen victim to the philosophies of the ancient gods of Canaan. The devil hasn’t changed his tactics, and the pagan practices that Israel fell into are the same ones that our culture has adopted. When I was young, I was brought up in a Christian home but began to ask why there were so many other religions. I reasoned that if the God of the Bible was who He claimed to be, that He was powerful enough to show himse

Hosts: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer Does the creation model explain the ice age? Meteorologist Michael Oard says yes, emphatically so! In fact, this is an area where the creation model really shines. A combination of warm oceans and barren cold continents provides the engine needed to produce mountainous continental ice sheets. Such a mechanism is impossible today under uniformitarian conditions. Quick frozen mammoths indicate a rapid climate change.

Host: Rich Geer Guest: Allen Roy Allen Roy of "Another Viewpoint" Canyon Tours describes a synthesis of creation models that accounts for the erosion and creation of landforms during Noah's Flood. This interview took place at Red Rock Canyon in Waterton Park, Alberta in 2002. At that time, flood models were still in the development stage. Walt Brown proposed his Hydroplate model, Dr. John Baumgardner proposed Catastrophic Plate Tectonics and Michael Oard proposed vertical tec

Hosts: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer The Bombardier Beetle has been a subject of interest for many years. This beetle is called a ‘bombardier’ because it ejects (with an audible popping sound), a hot, highly noxious spray of aqueous benzoquinones, oxygen and steam as a defense mechanism against would-be predators. This secretion is very accurately delivered via twin sets of spray nozzles located at the tip of the beetle abdomen and is most effective at stunning predators, even mam

Hosts: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer A study involving North Carolina State University reported evidence that certain soft-tissue remnants in dinosaur fossils may persist for millions of years under rare preservation conditions. A. Scientists are not saying fresh, intact dinosaur flesh survived unchanged for millions of years. B. The research is usually about microscopic structures, proteins, collagen fragments, blood-vessel-like tissues, or chemical remnants preserved in rare c

Guest: Dr. John Baumgardner Hosts: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer Dr. John Baumgardner explains his Catastrophic Plate Tectonics model of the Flood of Noah to Doug Sharp and Rich Geer at Bandelier National Monument. The catastrophic plate tectonics (CPT) model is a young-Earth creationist attempt to explain much of Earth’s geology, especially the continents, ocean basins, mountains, and fossils, within the framework of Noah’s Flood. The model proposes that before the Flood, Earth’

Speaker: Dr. D. Russell Humphreys Dr. D. Russell Humphreys predicted the strength of the magnetic fields of Uranus and Neptune based upon his theory that God created the earth and planets of the solar system from water where all of the hydrogen atoms were lined up, and then decayed in strength from there. His predictions were right on, whereas the dynamo theorists fail in their predictions.

Guest: Dr. Richard Overman Design in the universe is intuitively obvious to the most casual observer. You see it in DNA numbers, the use of Fibonacci sequence throughout nature and order in the physical laws. Where does the design come from? It has to either be Nature that makes the design decisions by random chance, or a transcendent God outside of the universe using design engineering principles that are purposeful and function. If it is a Nature god, if it is true, there w

Hosts: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer Photosynthesis underpins most biomass production in the biosphere, and Rubisco sits at the center of that process by catalyzing the entry of atmospheric carbon dioxide into organic metabolism. Yet Rubisco is also a biochemical paradox: despite its extraordinary abundance and global significance, its catalytic efficiency in natural settings is markedly constrained, making it a focal point for research in plant biology, evolution, and crop improv

Hosts: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer What is that queasy feeling in my stomach? Is it because evolution gives me butterflies? A recent article in Phys.org claims that evolution has been using the same genetic cheat sheet for over 120 million years, suggesting that life on earth may be more predictable than first imagined. They studied several distantly related South American rainforest butterfly and moth species that sport similar wing color patterns that warn away predators. The

Hosts: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer I am really getting tired of claims that say that scientists are finding signs of life on other planets. The Curiosity Rover on Mars is analyzing chemicals dug up at the Gale Crater site. They are looking for signs of life that possibly existed billions of years ago. What did they discover? 1. Long chain hydrocarbons (alkanes) a. Decane (10 carbon atoms) b. Undecane (11 carbon atoms) c. Dodecane (12 carbon atoms) 2. No evidence of amino a

Rich Geer presents his intriguing thoughts in archaeology and chronology. When he was at the University of Wyoming, Rich took a biblical archaeology class and it was where he first heard that Biblical people and events could actually be verified.

Hosts: Doug Sharp and Rich Geer Doug and Rich speculates on whether or not artificial intelligence is good or bad. The conversation began to explore the broader topic of AI's potential benefits and challenges. In a 1998 article by Daniel Graves about artificial intelligence and its implications on the RAE website, many of the benefits and problems are listed and still remain today. There is a fantasy about the triumph of reductionism: the doctrine that everything can ultimate

Guest: Dr. John Sanford One of the biggest reasons people give why they believe in evolution are the evidence from fossil man. Dr. John Sanford takes on this problem in his new book Contested Bones. He shows that the fossils purported to be ape-men are either inbred degenerative humans, mixtures of ape and human bones, or extinct apes.
