Dr Rob wraps up his 4-part series Species Were Designed to change by introducing a fascinating, profound, game-changing idea: the ‘Braided Baramin Concept’. Species are not the ‘created unit’. Baramins are. Species are ephemeral. Baramins are fixed, in that they are a group of organisms designed to reproduce within themselves and not with any member of another baramin. Species, on the other hand, can form, go extinct, remain constant, or merge with other species. Thus, all the data Darwin used for his theory are actually part of Creation.

This is the third installment in my Species Were Designed to Change series. Here, I take the concept of a baramin (a "created kind") and unpack it so that we can broaden our understanding of the range of possibilities inherent in this concept. God could have created a sexually reproducing baramin with only two individuals (like humans), or baramins with high or low diversity, or with many or few individuals. He could have created a single baramin with a wide distribution or one that was broken up into discrete and isolated pockets. In the latter case, when members of those pockets did eventually manage to meet, a burst of speciation due to new gene combinations could have commenced. The possibilities are almost endless, which goes a long way to explain some pretty profound mysteries in paleontology.

Dr Rob explains the idea that species were designed to change, on purpose, by God. In part 2 of this series, he turns the discussion to the population level and explains where species come from, how much 'change' the creation model can handle, and the limits to change that are inherent in the system.

Dr Rob puts the smackdown a tired old meme: the claim that the Bible teaches that God created all species just they appear today. In so doing, he outlines four important mechanisms that allow for 'change over time' within the creation model. This is the first part in a series of videos on the topic. They parallel a series of articles he wrote for Creaton.com.

Dr Rob describes a contentious idea: the Waiting Time Problem. Mathematical simulations tells us that the rise of specific new mutations would take a fantastically long time. Is this a serious challenge to evolution? He sure seems to think so! Tune in to find out why.

Dr Rob reviews the history of US government involvement in the fetal tissue debate, then throws a monkey wrench into the machine by pointing out that the use of any fetal cell line destroys the privacy of the mother, father, and relatives of the deceased child. This wraps up our four-part series. Notes and links: https://biblicalgenetics.com/fetal-tissue-research-par-t4-politics-and-privacy Thank you to my growing list of supporters!

Morality is not always an easy thing to deal with, and the moral implications of using cell lines from aborted babies is one of the more difficult subjects. Dr Rob gets into the meat of the argument, using simple illustrations to help out sort out the problems. Can we, with a good conscience, use medicines that were developed using fetal cells?

The use of fetal cells in modern medicine and technology is an obscure field. Yet, there are profound moral, theological, and societal issues inherent in their use. Dr Rob starts off this series with a discussion of several new studies, one that took human skin cells and turned them into embryo-like structures, another that used sequencing data to recreate the development of the embryo, and a third where scientists grew mouse embryos in a test tube. He also outlines the biblical issues, clearly documenting the differences between human and non-human life.

Are you pro-life? Then this video is a must-watch for you. Are you pro-abortion? Then consider this application of the Christian worldview to a very difficult situation as a direct challenge to you. This is a discussion of the five main strains of human cells, starting in the 1950s, that that were used to develop many different medicines and life-saving vaccines. Questions of ethics, privacy, paperwork (or not), and other things make for a tangled web of information. Dr Rob untangles everything for you.

Epigenetics deals with those things that control which genes are turned on and off, and at what time, in the cell. It is a serious challenge to the neo-Darwinian idea that evolution occurs via a simple mutation + selection scenario.

Origin-of-life research got a boost with the recent publication of a massive new computer program that was designed to model early chemical evolution. At least, that’s what the headlines say. Dr Rob explains that things are only getting worse for the evolutionary story of how life arose and how these problems tie into the study of genetics.

The idea is that all humans came from a first couple. Many people don’t think this is possible, but Dr C demolishes one common argument against Adam and Eve: the thought that you can’t get millions of rare variations in the genome if you start with just two people a few thousand years ago. In fact, not only are Adam and Eve an excellent fit for the real-world data, but computer modeling tells us the biblical scenario is a better fit to the data than the evolutionary one.

Should there be a genetic difference between clean and unclean animals after the Flood? The answer will surprise you! Can you trace modern humans back to each of the three sons of Noah? Again, the answer is probably not what you expect! Dr C addresses these frequently asked questions, while delving into a little military history and a discussion of chromosomal recombination.

DNA can only withstand so much mutation and breakage before it breaks down. An amazing system of repair enzymes keeps decay in check, mostly. Yet, without the crazy complex system of DNA maintenance and repair, life cannot exist, which brings up questions of how we got here.

We can only understand the size of DNA by comparing it to something else. If you, for example, scaled it up to the length of a major highway, how wide would it be? If you took all the DNA in your body, could you use it to lasso the solar system? Could you wrap it around the sun? How many times? When couched in math like this, the only rational response for the Christian is to praise the Creator of life and the Programmer of that wonderful computer operating system found in all of our cells.

Genetic entropy is controversial. Creationists say it is real. Evolutionists say it is poppycock. But the theory was developed with long-lived, multicellular species with small population sizes and long generation times in mind (e.g., humans). What about the other end of the spectrum? Can bacteria withstand genetic entropy? Dr Rob says yes, maybe. If there are any species that can survive it, it is bacteria. This does not mean bacteria can evolve, only that they can survive long-term, and survival in an an environment that is so hostile to all life forms is a miracle in itself.

I am super excited about this one. This was my first attempt at filming in a studio setting, but even more important is the subject matter. We are going to look into what it takes to manufacture a single protein that is used in the ATP synthase motor...and how much ATP is required! DNA synthesis, transcription, and translation are things we all learned about in school. They are required for ATP synthase to even exist, but they also burn up huge amounts of ATP. Looking at the details spaghettifies the concept of irreducible complexity. Who needs to see this? Any science teacher, any student in high school or college biology, and anyone with enough 'nerd' in them to relish digging into the details of cellular biochemistry.
