CYKIAE Season 15 Part 59. CYKIAE And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – The Benefits of Eugenics – James Watson and the Double Helix.
Eugenics – all those years ago. A mistaken road that science had turned down. But is that true? Walter Isaacson in his book, The Code Breaker, about Nobel Prize winning scientist Jennifer Doudna, wrote the surprising story of one of the greatest scientists of all times, who only died on 6…

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 58. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – The Benefits of Eugenics – Human Behaviour Is Like Ants.
In The Descent of Man [Darwin] asserted, "At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races." In 1881 Darwin warned W. Graham against underestimating the efficacy of...

CYKIAE Season 15. Part 57. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – Not the Religion of Peace - Atheism.
In early June 1926 John Scopes was in New York where the American Civil Liberties Union, the ACLU, was trying, without success, to dissuade him from having Clarence Darrow as one of his attorneys. The ACLU’s prospects in this regard were probably not overly bright. For one thing, by way of a...

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 56. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – I propose to present an outline of the great, sacred struggle for the liberty of science.
By the turn of the century, secular historians and essayists rather than theologians and scientists were largely responsible for keeping alive the public perception of hostility between Christians and evolutionists. During the last third of the nineteenth century, two academicians from New York,...

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 55. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – 3.85-Billion-Years Is Not Enough.
… even taking into account life's 3.85-billion-year history. It follows that the mechanism of random mutation and natural selection has not had enough time to generate or search but a minuscule fraction (one ten trillion trillion trillionth, to be precise) of the total number of possible…

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 54. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – Some Things You Just Gotta Take on Trust.
It’s entirely possible that you‘ve never heard of the French nobleman, Alexis de Tocqueville. The editors of the 2000 edition of Alexis’s famous book, Democracy in America, Harvey C Mansfield and Delba Winthrop, wrote: Alexis de Tocqueville was born on July 29, 1805, and died in his fifty-fourth...

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 53. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – Scientific Murder.
A 1999 booklet published by the National Academy describes Darwin's finches as "a particularly compelling example" of the origin of species. The booklet goes on to explain how the Grants and their colleagues showed "that a single year of drought on the islands can drive evolutionary changes in…

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 52. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – The Limits of Evolution.
Natural selection. Mutations. These are Darwin’s lynch pins. Without them working major changes to produce new species his Theory of Evolution would be worthless. Science tells us they don’t work. It tells us this from studying Darwin’s model for change. Selective breeding. Scientists know that...

CYKIAE Season 015 Part 51. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – Major Mutation = Death.
High school students in Australia are taught this in their biology textbooks. The one I’m using for these programmes is the textbook Nelson QScience Biology, Units 3 and 4 by Pam Borger and others. This is what it teaches: All species that have ever lived are related by descent. The theory of...

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 49. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – Clearest Case in which Evolutionary Process Has Actually Been Observed
Jonathon Wells, in his book Icons of Evolution wrote: Darwin was convinced that in the course of evolution "Natural Selection has been the most important, but not the exclusive, means of modification," but he had no direct evidence of natural selection. There was plenty of evidence that plants…

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 48. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – Species Extinction is a Way of Life.
It is a curious fact that on Earth species death is, in the most literal sense, a way of life. No one knows how many species of organisms have existed since life began. Thirty billion is a commonly cited figure, but the number has been put as high as 4,000 billion. Whatever the actual total…

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 45. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – Alfred Russel Wallace the Black Sheep of Evolution.
The reason Science Says that all species must have descended from common ancestors is that materialistic science abhors the idea that any of them were created. According to materialistic science, creation is ruled out from the start. If (as Darwin thought) the only alternative to the tree of life...

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 44. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – Your Children Being Taught the Same Lies as Your Grandparents.
Clarence Darrow, possibly America’s greatest lawyer ever, in his autobiography, The Story of My Life, wrote of his early years of school: Schools were not established to teach and encourage the pupil to think; beyond furnishing a place for keeping the children out of the way, their effort was to...

CYKIAE Season 15. Part43. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – Our Very Young Children Must be Indoctrinated for Their Own Good.
Our betters, on the left of politics, have recognised the need for interventions with all of our very youngest children, because those very young children are born seised with a very dangerous idea. That idea is that God exists. Child psychologist, Deborah Kelemen, Director of the Child Cognition...

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 42. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – ACLU Bullying Schools for Not Teaching the Theory of Evolution.
In June 1925 John Scopes, the defendant in the Scopes Monkey Trial, visited New York for two main purposes. The first was to meet with the American Civil Liberties Union (the ACLU) to discuss tactics (which included the ACLU’s fervent wish to get Clarence Darrow off Scope’s legal team). The other...

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 41. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – Freedom of Speech.
Darrow … had grand matters to place before the country — issues of academic liberty, free thought, and scientific inquiry. He hoped, by calling scientists to the stand, to educate the public and alert them to the threat posed by rural zealots with their silly lockstep creed. And the defense was...

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 40. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – The Atheists Who Were Holier Than Thou.
Darwin took us forward to a hilltop from where we could look back and see the way from which we came. But for this insight and for this knowledge we must abandon our faith in the pleasant poetry of Genesis Thus sprake Henry Drummond, (Spencer Tracy) who played the fictional role of the real life...

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 39. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – She Murdered Her Philandering Husband in Court and He Got Her Off because She Was a Widow
William Jennings Bryan was pitched against Clarence Darrow in the Scopes Monkey Trial – and it wasn’t a fair fight. John Farrell, in his biography, Clarence Darrow – Attorney for the Damned, wrote of one of Darrow’s more remarkable court wins – and he had had many remarkable court wins: He was a...

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 37. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – A Boy Named Sue.
Now here’s what could sound like a very modern story. Only it isn’t. In this part I’m going to be telling you about Sue Hicks of Tennessee. Except Sue Hicks isn’t the 1925 Southern Belle that you might be thinking she is, in any event Sue Hicks wasn’t originally from Tennessee. Although in one...

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 36. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – Hitler On the Side of Christian Fundamentalists.
If you get it right all the time, you’re doing really well. But sometimes you get it really, really wrong. Permit me to illustrate. William B Riley conceived the idea of a body to advance Christian Fundamentalist ideas. The body that emerged from this idea was called World's Christian…

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 35. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – When Science is Just Good Storytelling. Part 35
William Jennings Bryan challenged evolution for what he saw as the lack of evidence to show that man evolved from lower animal forms. His chief scientific opponent, well I’ll let Edward J Larson tell you about that from his book on the Scopes Monkey Trial, Summer for the Gods: At the time, the...

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 34. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Dayton Tennessee – Survival of the Fittest.
It was the rise of mass public education that was going to make inevitable the clash between Darwin’s materialistic Theory of Evolution (excluding God from the role of the creator of all life, and especially human life) and the Christian religion in America, in that rather large courtroom in…

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 33. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Scopes Monkey Trial – Evolution or Christianity on Trial - The Trial of the Century.
What many atheists call the war of religion against science, most relevantly against the Theory of Evolution, moved from being a debate in the public square, in churches and elsewhere and moved into the courtroom in Tennessee in 1925. Maybe now a decisive answer from this Court, or some superior...

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 32. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Universe . . . no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
In one of his many books, River Out of Eden, Richard Dawkins wrote: The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference. That isn’t how I see the world, the universe.…

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 31. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – The Universe- Whatever begins to exist must have a cause.
Medieval Muslim scholars developed one of the most famous versions of the cosmological argument, known as the Kalām argument. It asserted that the universe had a temporal beginning — a proposition that philosophers typically sought to justify by showing the logical or mathematical absurdity of an...

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 30. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – repeated abrupt appearances of new biological form and information in the history of life.
What science has just learned about the history of life on earth is a result entirely unexpected by atheist scientists. It doesn’t give the appearance Richard Dawkins ascribed to the universe of no design, no purpose . . . nothing but blind, pitiless indifference. Instead Stephen Meyer, in his…

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 29. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – Darwin’s Theory’s Other Graver Danger.
In the Origin of Species, Darwin depicted the history of life as a gradually unfolding, branching tree, with the trunk representing the first one-celled organisms and the branches representing all the species that evolved from these first forms. In this view, novel animal and plant species arose...

CYKIAE Season15 Part 28. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – I cannot look at the Universe as the result of blind chance.
At the very beginning of this series I opened with the words Carl Sagan spoke, in the opening of his spectacularly successful 1970 TV series, Cosmos. His entire philosophy reduced to just 13 words: the cosmos is all that is, or ever was, or ever will be. But that was clearly untrue. Stephen...

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 27. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – If Henry Ford Was God.
Hitler, in his book Mein Kampf, praised one American, and only one American. He described him as the single only great man in that country. He spoke about how the sinister tentacles of the Jewish world conspiracy had even reached the New World. These are Hitler’s exact words: it is not only the…

In 1994, biologist and textbook writer, Kenneth Miller wrote: The human genome is littered with pseudo-genes [DNA sequences thought to have lost a function they once had], gene fragments, 'orphaned' genes, 'junk' DNA, and so many repeated copies of pointless DNA sequences that it cannot be...

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 21. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – Something Terrible Happened to Dean Kenyon.

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 19. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – Do Materialist Evolutionary Biologists Feel Lucky.
Did Watson and Crick, when they discovered the structure of DNA accidentally let God’s foot in the door, something materialist evolutionary biologists had worked for generations to stop happening. There must be an answer explaining the data in DNA that doesn’t mean that intelligent design, God…

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 18. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – Crick’s Central Dogma – Was He a Catholic?
There are two world views about how life began. The first is the materialistic view of the world – the no God view. Crick’s central dogma which I summarised in Part 15 of this series in these words, is a key part of the modern world of the atheist scientists. "DNA makes RNA makes protein makes…

Jonathon Wells, in his book Zombie Science, wrote: … the central dogma continues to mislead scientists and non-scientists alike. True, some DNA sequences encode some RNAs, and some RNA sequences encode proteins, but in general the central dogma is false. DNA does not contain the genetic program…

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 16. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – RNA –Francis Crick’s Big Mistake.
The childlike simplicity offered by some of the evolutionary scientists about DNA and the characteristics people have because of having a certain type of gene, is becoming clearly an illusion. But it’s one that’s still promoted. John Lennox, in his book God’s Undertaker, tells us: Indeed for many...

CYKIAE Season 15 Part 15. And Christ Rose Yet Again – The Sudden Death of Atheism – RNA.
Those oh so primitive views of life that the scientists of Darwin’s day had, had gradually evolved, yes that’s the right word, to the point where it was about to tell the world that life had emerged from matter – and that God didn’t matter! Oh happy day. Tag words: God; DNA; RNA; Elliot Volkin;...
