Video of the Day Janelle Monae ft. Erykah Badu, "Q.U.E.E.N."
Janelle Monae is back with a new video that serves as a refresher course for how a lady can don a tuxedo and make it pop. "Q.U.E.E.N.," Monae's brand new single that dropped last week, was well worth the wait. Erykah Badu adds some fiery flavor spitting verses over a funk-infused beat, and no one gives credit to a rising female singer quite like Badu can. Now you've got the visuals to give this energetic song that extra shine.
The young R&B singer has been strategic about the music she's released to date, and fans could have guessed that a major release was on its way with the number of performances and public appearances she has planned this summer–namely appearing on the Made in America Festival lineup. Watch the new video for "Q.U.E.E.N.," ft. Erykah Badu here and catch Janelle Monae on stage with Hova.
Pick up the single on iTunes and follow Janelle Monae on Twitter to stay up to date with news and releases.

After about two weeks in Fiji studying marine and terrestrial ecology, student Thomas Burnett was ready to change his major.
"I got a lot out of it," said Burnett, 20, of the study abroad opportunity he took as a freshman at Northern Virginia Community College. "It's why I have the major I have now."
Study abroad is not a program offering normally associated with community colleges.
"I never thought community colleges did that," said NVCC student Victoria Martin, 32, a Herndon resident. "When I first started at NOVA, they didn't offer any [traveling study programs] that I know of… It makes a world of difference."
Bolstering the visibility and availability of study abroad programs at NVCC has been a goal taken on within the last few years, said Associate Vice President for Global Studies and Programs Paul McVeigh.
"Study abroad has really been focused on the individual [professor] and student interest in going abroad… What we've done in the last couple years is to help facilitate and coordinate," he said.
Launched during the recent economic recession, NVCC's study abroad program has faced obstacles like student financial ability to pay for trips. Similarly, because of the diversity of students and needs on campus, NVCC has struggled to get the word out about study abroad offerings.
Some students, like Burnett, utilize community colleges with the goal of taking core classes at a lower cost and then transferring to a four-year institution later. Burnett is now a sophomore at the University of Pittsburgh studying evolutionary biology.
Community colleges also host working students, older students who are continuing their education and a large number of part-time students.
This diversity can cause the community college experience to feel more commuter-based than like traditional college life, students said.
"At community college… you don't really have that relationship with your professors and students," Burnett said.
Martin agreed, but said programs like traveling or study abroad courses are helping enhance the community college experience.
"A lot of the kids I went on the Rockies trip with, we still keep in touch," she said. "It gives lifelong bonding opportunities that — at a community college-level — are hard to get."
Burnett has traveled to the American Rockies twice with a geology class over the summer. This year marks the first time the geology class will travel abroad, visiting the Canadian Rockies.
"Every year these kids tell us how awesome [the trip] is and that they want more," said geology Professor Callan Bentley. "It's much more intuitive if students are there in person seeing these rocks in the field" rather than in photographs from a book.
"Last year a student wrote, 'I learned more in those two weeks than I've ever learned in any other class ever,'" said Bentley, adding there is a demand for more traveling study opportunities at the community college.
Professors at Northern Virginia Community College said the demand for more study abroad offerings is growing at the school. But there are a few barriers to this growth.
"I think it's really the staffing. But even more than that, I think it's about the cost," said English and composition Professor Jay Steere. "We can't afford to subsidize transportation [airfare]. Community college students are trying to get the bang for their buck."
Western Civics Professor Ruma Salhi said, "The fact that you can get this at a community college is a huge thing. There is a big student interest… The only barrier to this is the faculty having time to go."
Salhi last took a study abroad group to London in the winter of 2006.
"This is kind of an unspoken secret: you can get all the offerings of a four-year institute from a community college while living at home," he said.
Because of the diversity and large number of part-time students, offerings like the study abroad program are not always known to students, said American Literature and composition Professor Yuemin 'Booke' He.
"Community college students, a lot of them, don't know how to grab opportunities," she said. "They don't know what's out there like grants and scholarships. This is part of that."
Because many of NVCC's students end up transferring to four-year universities, He said, "It's important that we offer the same kind of experiences."
Professors at NVCC said students should also take advantage of the community colleges offerings early on because they could have an impact on their choice of studies later.
McVeigh said the college is currently looking at ways to help students pay for study abroad trips, like through scholarships provided by the school.
"Because our tuition is so much lower, that difference in tuition can be used to go on a really nice study abroad trip," said NVCC Professor Jill Caporale, who teaches biology courses and leads the Fiji study abroad trip, which is now in its second year. "It's best to get [a study abroad] as early in your college experience as you can because it may change what you want to major in. I've had many people say that."
This was true for Martin, who began at NVCC with a liberal arts focus.
"I blame Callan [Bentley]…I fell in love with natural sciences, geology in particular," she said. "That trip completely changed everything for me."
NVCC educators are hoping the study abroad program will draw the attention of non-traditional students as well.
Students like Burke resident Sherry Hawkins.
"I am actually a senior citizen with a background in liberal arts, who went back and took geology because I've had a long-time interest," Hawkins said. She is signed up for her third trip with NVCC. "The trips are just fabulous. On the Rockies trip, they had us camp out. That was my first time camping… It's one thing to go through a PowerPoint presentation or a textbook, and another being onsite. It's really a matter of magnitude."
Registration for the geology trip to Canada closed with 18 students signed up, more than the dozen or so who registered for the American Rockies trip last summer, Bentley said.
Fiji Study Abroad enrollment is still open, Caporale said. The trip is offered as a for-credit and a continuing education class. Last year's trip, she said, had students of all ages including a 70-year-old.
"It's open. If teachers want to come on this trip — like high school or even elementary school teachers — they can bring it back to the classroom… It's definitely a life changing experience."

HEAD player, and top tournament seed, Ramy Ashour, returned to the PSA Tour victorious, after a two-month injury, defeating fourth seed James Willstrop in three games at the Bear Stearns Tournament of Champions at Grand Central Terminal in New York.
This most recent victory may mark the beginning of a long reign at the top of the game for the talented 20-year-old from Egypt. Ashour defeated Willstrop 11-7, 11-10 (3-1), 11-9.
"I just decided to be confident tonight - I had to be, because James is an attacking payer and when he plays his game he's brilliant," said Ashour, who plays with the new MicroGel 125.
Ashour and Willstrop traded jabs in the opening game, testing the other's strength and focus. Tied at six all, Ashour took control of the game, surging ahead 10-6 and closing out the game at 11-7. The second game saw the lead change hands several times. Both players were consistently looking for the openings that that would win the point. It was again Ashour who took the game.
Undeterred, Willstrop looked like he might extend the match when he opened up an 8-4 lead. But Ashour stepped up to take seven of the next eight points, winning the match.

Practice Philosophy
Our practice philosophy is patient oriented. We provide a caring experience, and take time to listen to our patients. our qualified staff will assist with questions and information.
Procedures recommended are those which are reliable and likely to meet the patient's goals and represent good value.
Dr. Dupin, a pioneer in the development of procedures for breast reconstruction (DIEP), is Clinical Professor of Plastic Surgery and Director of Plastic Surgery training at Louisiana State University.
Cosmetic Plastic Surgery
Reconstructive Surgery
Micro Surgery
We offer services in a wide range of Plastic Surgery.
Facial wrinkling and sagging due to aging can cause a loss of confidence and make the patient look older than they feel. Facial rejuvenation, such as face and forehead lifting can restore a youthful appearance. Sagging or puffy eyes which make the patient look tired are not unusual. Blepharoplasty can reduce the signs of aging and fatigue. These procedures are performed in a safe outpatient setting and can be a great value.
Figure faults such as small or sagging breasts, overly large breasts or abdominal skin and fat excess can be very disturbing. Procedures to correct these conditions, such as breast enhancement, lift or reduction may solve these problems.
Abdominoplasty, both after pregnancy and massive weight loss is frequently and successfully performed in order to make the patients look normal and to allow them to wear the close a\that they like. Liposuction to remove bulges can be performed at the time of other procedures or alone.
loss of the breast from cancer can be devastating psychologically. Procedures to reconstruct the breast have markedly improved results and allowed women to feel normal. We perform the latest procedures such as the perforator flaps (DIEP and Gluteal) to provide soft and natural reconstructed breasts.
Deformity from removal of skin cancer, especially on the face, can be addressed with procedures which visually eliminate the deformity. We have a great deal of experience with these procedures and have returned many patients to a normal appearance.
Surgical procedures are performed in licensed and accredited outpatient and inpatient facilities. Some are part of West Jefferson Medical Center, some are freestanding. All adhere to the same standards as the hospital. these facilities provide unparalleled safety and professionalism for the patients. We use facilities with MD anesthesia, another very important safety concern. We also perform surgery with an overnight stay for patients who require more care than their family can comfortably provide at home.

Dear Ms. Vicki,
My son has always been the type who would pick up a stray dog off the streets and give it a home. I guess this quality has followed him into his relationships too. Ms. Vicki, this girl is from the other side of the tracks. Her family is awful and she is too. She has done a lot of horrible things in her young life. She and her family plotted to get my son to marry her by saying she was pregnant. He succumbed to the pressure.
Now they have been married for over two years and there has been no baby yet. My son was deployed to Iraq. I was told that her mother was telling people, "My daughter is going to be rich if something happens to (fill in the blank)".
Ms. Vicki, this has torn our family apart. My husband and I have done a wonderful job raising our children. All of my children have college degrees and have worked hard to earn good incomes. My son is an officer in the Army, and I know that this woman is going to cause a lot of problems for him in his career.
We are all afraid that he will be judged harshly because of her and could lose his career. My husband was a career officer too. I know how people look at officers' wives. We have to have it together at all costs. She just won't fit in. Ms. Vicki, I can't seem to get over this, do you think I need professional help? I just don't want to lose my son.
M y Son Is Just Too Good For Her
Dear Too Good for Her,
You really seem to have your nose in the air in a very haughty and arrogant way. I'm not sure what makes you better. Is it the fact that your husband was an officer? That all of your children have college degrees? That your son is now an officer? What gives you the right to be so critical and condescending?
OK, you did a great job raising your children. Good for you. Many people are doing exactly what you've done. Listen, Good: Don't be too good for your own good. It sounds like your son chose a young woman with a sordid past, and a family with issues. Here's the deal: it's his choice, not yours and not mine.
If you continue with your actions, you are going to alienate your son from you and his family. This would be devastating to you and everyone. I suggest you start letting your precious guards down, and start being nice to your daughter-in-law.
One day your son may think, "Wow, I really made a mistake." On the other hand, your daughter-in-law could very well turn out to be a godsend. I once knew an older woman who was very mean and spiteful to a daughter-in-law she just could not accept. This daughter-in-law became the one who took care of her on her deathbed as she had terminal cancer. She had to apologize to her in the end. Don't let this be you. If you need counseling, I will send you some resources to find one. Bottom line, in my opinion you have got to move on. And you should be happy she wasn't really pregnant.
Ms. Vicki
Dear Mrs. Vicki,
I love your column. I read it every week and I thank God for the work you do. I am writing to ask for your advice on how to cope with deployments. My fiancé and I have known each other for almost six years now, but we have been a couple for eight months.
Most of that time, he has been away, so we have spent only a little over a month in each other's company since we started courting last October. Last time he was home, he asked me to marry him before he left for Afghanistan. Of course, I said yes.
I'm thrilled! But I know for at least the next nine months I won't see him. While I'm sort of used to it, it's still hard. This will be part of my life and I want to learn to handle it right. I'm very new to military life, so I don't know a lot about it. I want to be a good wife and support. Any advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Future Military Wife
Dear Future Military Wife,
Thank you for writing me and for sharing your story. I truly hope things work out for you and your fiancé. It sounds like he has picked a winner! There is much to learn regarding military culture. However, I think you will make a great adjustment.
Always remember to be yourself, the rest will happen naturally. I don't want you to feel that you have some big test to pass or that someone is looking over your shoulder watching to see if you will be a good military wife or not, right?
Continue to pursue your own goals and dreams. When you are married, you and your husband will join your goals together so you can grow as a couple and as individuals. Respect and consideration for each other will be paramount.
In the meantime, write to him often, expressing your needs and desires to him, send care packages to him as often as you can, and stay active and busy. Get plenty of rest, eat right, and try to get some exercise. It will help with the stress of deployment. Depend on your family and friends to get you through this tough time.

The problem here is that "I don't know what I don't know".
How can I fill in those gaps? What is it that a computer science degreed person will know that I don't?
Note: This isn't a personal question. I'm not asking you to read my mind so you can tell me where my knowledge is lacking. I'm really asking "Where/how can I get the knowledge a computer science degree would give me, without getting one?"
Example: I don't know anything about compilers, but I understand that comp sci majors often are required to write some sort of compiler. This seems like something that would be useful to know. Etc.

Today's 31 Day of New Uses for Old Things post I actually completed over the summer. I thought this is a great example of new uses for old things though!! (If you want to see a list of my previous 31 Days, I have links posted on my sidebar!)
When we purchased our Queen size bed last year we had no headboard. I've been wanting something for awhile and didn't know what to do, until….
|Headboard before picture
I found wood cabinets doors at habitat ReStore! They would be perfect as a headboard – I just needed to figure out how to hang them/piece them together and how to make them prettier. Here's what they looked like starting out:
|You can't tell in this picture, but they were worn and a little scuffed up.
This summer I didn't have much extra money on hand, I wanted to use whatever resources I had on hand. We had leftover stain from staining our wine shelf in the kitchen. I spent time Googling staining over stained wood and finish. Everything mentioned having to completely sanding off the finish (or soaking it in paint thinner to take off the finish), so that the new stain would soak into the wood; then re-staining; and finally adding finish again. Since I was just making a headboard (that did not need to last forever), I didn't have to worry about adding finish in the end.
I found a great resources for antiquing cabinets on eHow Home. And I specifically looked at this article (had a quick and easy guide to the different techniques one can use for antiquing furniture). When all was said and done, I found this DIY post to be the most helpful for what I wanted (and what resources I had already on hand). I decided all I really needed to do was a light sanding, then re-stain the wood.

It drastically improved the water quality of all of my aquariums. A 180gal reef tank and a 110gal fish only. Phosphate levels are almost not existent now after using the GFO, especially in the dual GFO and carbon media reactor. great product By Bob on 7/11/2013 Bob would recommend this product to a friend this has cured my algae problems before. I now dont run a saltwater tank without it. I'm Sold! By Eric on 7/5/2013 Eric would recommend this product to a friend This stuff is the most cost effective phosphate solution I have found. Could not be happier with the product. Cant do without it. By Randy on 7/1/2013 Randy would recommend this product to a friend Everytime I run out of this thing and think I am doing well, I have to run and get some more. Awesome product Worth the money! By John on 6/28/2013 John would recommend this product to a friend Easy to use, have used different brands of GFO in the past. After adding BRS GFO, algae problems have reduced to nothing! gfo quaility By hunter on 6/25/2013 hunter would recommend this product to a friend Ordered up some of this gfo.. Samre as the carbon seems to be doing a good job so far. Also did not notice much waste when rinsing it off.. huge deal for me when your looking at gfo prices.. GREAT PRODUCT AT A GREAT PRICE!!! By Dolmo5000 on 6/25/2013 Dolmo5000 would recommend this product to a friend BRS does it again! I have looked far and wide for GFO at a cheaper price. Although there are a very few places advertising it for a cheaper price reviews of the product say it contains lots and lots of dust. I believe that BRS sells a fantastic product and will purchase GFO and all other bulk additive from them as long as I'm in the hobby (rest of my life). GREAT JOB BRS!!! now winning the battle By algae victory on 6/13/2013 algae victory would recommend this product to a friend Had a pretty good algae bloom in reef tank 1yo. Never used GFO decided to give it a try in my sump sock. Day two seeing significant results oh and new sock was green after day one. Instructions on package were confusing By Charles on 6/12/2013 Charles would recommend this product to a friend I got this from a friend that had taken down his tank. I am overall satisfied with the product itself, but the instructions were confusing and I believe i used way too much after the initial period. I got some clarity on it with the calculator. My pump went up on me for a couple days and i started noticing algae growth almost instantly. Got a new pump and did a water change and the GFO did the rest. Good quality GFO By Bill on 6/7/2013 Bill would recommend this product to a friend This GFO works well and is very cost efficient way of removing PO4 in any aquarium. No problems does exactly what it is supposed to do. I do find that it has more fines to be rinsed than some higher quality GFO (RowaPhos). Best on the market By MAREK on 6/5/2013 MAREK would recommend this product to a friend Absolutely best GFO on the market. I'm always buying only from BRS. Perfect fro BRS GFO reactors.

With snow on the ground and a wind advisory in effect until noon from the National Weather Service, many schools are closed Friday morning and some roads are slick.
The National Weather Service reported Winter Storm Hercules dropped two inches or more of snow in Washington, D.C., and the surrounding suburbs.
A forecast from the National Weather Service also says that bitterly cold conditions are expected Monday and into Tuesday, which could bring record lows and potentially dangerous wind chills.
Montgomery County Police Cpt. Jim Daly reported just two accidents this morning, one in Bethesda at the intersection of Elmhirst Parkway and Cedar Lane and another in Rockville on Research Boulevard and West Montgomery Avenue, due to the icy roads.
"With the wind blowing the snow back onto the road, it is freezing right away. Roads are not good," he said.
Prince George's Police Department reported no major incidents as a result of the weather conditions Friday morning.
"There have been a few minor fender benders, but nothing significant in the past 12 hours," said Lt. William Alexander, a PGPD spokesman.
Prince George's public schools are closed, with only emergency personnel reporting. In Montgomery and Fairfax counties, schools and activities are cancelled but offices are open with unscheduled leave in Fairfax and open two hours late in Montgomery, according to their websites.
Prince George's County Public Schools spokesman Max Pugh said this is the second snow day cancellation of the 2013-14 school year.
Days missed due to inclement weather are added on at the end of the 2013-14 school year calendar, Pugh noted.
Montgomery, Prince George's and Fairfax county governments are all open today with liberal leave, according to their websites.
Fairfax courts will open on time, while in Prince George's, they should open at 10 a.m.
To assist with road clearing in Prince George's County, the Department of Public Works and Transportation is requesting county residents park on the even-numbered sides of residential streets or in their driveways and to shovel driveways after plowing has occurred, according to the county website.
WMATA's website reports that Metro trains are currently operating on time, while some busses may be facing detours or delays due to the snowy roads.
The bad weather hit utilities as well, with Pepco reporting 4,376 total outages, with 724 customers without power in Montgomery and 1,259 without power in Prince George's; BGE is reporting 14 customers without power in Montgomery and 54 in Prince George's; and Dominion reporting 1,736 customers out in Fairfax county and another 12 in Fairfax City.

TEA News Releases Online
Oct. 9, 2012
AUSTIN – Commissioner of Education Michael L. Williams announced today that participation in Advanced Placement (AP) tests by Texas public school students was up by 4 percent in the 2011-2012 school year. According to data from the College Board, performance increased for all students by 9.1 percent, with African-American and Hispanic students showing the greatest gain in performance at 12 percent and 13.9 percent, respectively.
"More Texas students are choosing to take the academically rigorous AP classes, and increasingly they are meeting the challenge, said Williams. "Students who are succeeding in AP classes and on AP exams in our high schools are positioning themselves for future success in college."
AP tests are graded on a one to five scale, with many colleges and universities awarding course credit for scores of three or better. Last school year, 194,391 Texas public school students took 350,766 AP exams, and earned scores of three, four or five on 162,959 exams.
College Board officials estimate that if the 34,564 students who received a five on an AP exam enrolled in one of the state's two flagship universities and were awarded course credit, they would save $36.7 million to $42.9 million in tuition costs alone. The savings climb by millions more if students apply for and receive credit for scores of three and four.
Williams noted that the latest results reflect a continuing trend of increased performance and participation. Since 2009, the number of AP exams taken by Texans increased by 81,412 exams or 30.2 percent. During that same period, scores of three, four or five increased by 30.1 percent.
The AP exams most frequently taken by Texas students in descending order are:
See the attached chart for additional details about AP results.

Introducing the land of the Gods Bali
Posted on : 14 December 2012
Categories : Culture and Heritage
So there I was on my second day in Bali: stuck in traffic again. The island forms a bottleneck just between Denpasar and the airport. Motor bikes are beeping, cars are jammed. There has to be more to this place, right?
Of course there is. This is Bali. It's not a world-famous tourism destination for bad traffic! So what is it about Bali? I wanted to dig a little deeper and see why this "land of the Gods" is so special.
In a mere couple decades, Bali has grown from a traveler backwater to being internationally celebrated. It was happening long before Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love.Is it just the beaches and beautiful weather? Why do so many around the world know "Bali" even before "Indonesia"?
Bali is extraordinary: a Hindu island within a majority Muslim nation (the most populous on earth, in fact, is Indonesia). It is an island so synonymous with tourism, that it's hard to think of Bali without the word holiday. But there is much more to it than great surfing and a driving economy catering to a foreign clientele.
The population of Bali
Three million people live on this island of Bali. The majority are packed into the southern portion.
The Indonesian archipelago is a volcanic one and volcanic ash is what keeps the soil fertile enough to support such a dense population. 96% of the population is Hindi. In fact, all of Indonesia used to be Hindi, then Buddhist, and only in the past few hundred years has it converted to Islam. Bali just never changed.
Why do I keep bringing up the fact that the Balinese are Hindi? Because it's so ingrained into their culture and psyche that I can't not stress it. It's more than a religion. It permeates every aspect of their society.
"Bali is a still a place with rich traditions and culture." Our guide tells us soon after picking us up from the airport.
That's what I was curious about. The casual tourist to Bali wouldn't be able to tell this. It takes a little bit of effort to get beyond the tourist crush of Kuta Beach and the foreign restaurants of Seminyak. If your entire holiday remained in that sphere, Bali would resemble almost any other resort town in the world.
After the arrival of mass tourism is the island still as traditional as it once was? How exactly are the Balinese keeping their culture? And what does it mean to be Balinese?
Characteristics of the Balinese
Our tour is a slender man with a big smile. He wears a Balinese Udeng—a typical hat of many styles and colors that men wear. When praying, they switch to a white one.
There are said to be over 30,000 temples in Bali because nearly every family has one within the grounds of their compound. Every day three offerings are set out. They usually include rice, flowers, and incense inside a little banana leaf plate.
Ceremonies and festivals are also central to the Balinese culture. The cremation ceremony lasts for three days. A Balinese person wouldn't think twice about heading off to work during one of these ceremonies or any other of their holidays, while a Javanese might be inclined to work more to boost his or her income.
A Balinese highly values these holidays, ceremonies, and festivals. During ceremonies, men wear a sarong. For everyday use, they wear a sarong over pants.
As for language, the Balinese speak their own language and when children speak to adults they use formal language and do not look directly at adults
The cuisine of Bali is similar to that of the rest of Indonesia except that they eat suckling pig.
Beyond Denpasar
As tourism grows, rice paddies get swallowed up in favor of hotels and roads get widened to accommodate the growing number of scooters, taxis, and shuttle vans. But this is mostly taking place in and around Denpasar, and the resorts of the south.
Meanwhile, the rest of the island remains waiting to be explored. Most visitors escape the beaches by heading to Ubud. Ubud is a center of spirituality and healing, but you wouldn't know it if you didn't look.
And yes, there is peace and quiet in Ubud, and it's as simple as going beyond the main street.
Bali from a foreigner's Perspective
We met an expat who has been living in Ubud for the past seven years. He reinforced the fact that Hinduism is ingrained into the Balinese psyche. He told me that Bali is a center of energy, both positive and negative, and that it took him a long time to see these subtleties.
"Bali slowly reveals itself" he warned me. A lot of the beautiful spots are hidden. Many of the houses have views over the greenest of rice paddies, but you don't necessarily catch these views from the street.
Ubud is also a center of wise men, or medicine men, or however you want to describe them. When I ask about the famous Ketut from Eat, Pray, Love, he more or less laughed and told me that "there are at least four good other wise men here, ones who really can read people."
Ubud is definitely a place that needs to be explored more in depth. It also seems like a good place to linger for an extended time. I think I'll be coming back to Bali.

In 2009, Rowan University released a paper claiming to replicate Blacklight Power's results on energy generation using hydrino states of the hydrogen atom. The paper appears to describe the procedure in every detail as far as my untrained eye can tell.
Has anyone else attempted to replicate these results and did they succeed?

Read about the death of Wolfhart Pannenberg, still debating creation and evolution, and a really big dinosaur discovery.
American thinking about religion and science before the Civil War was substantially informed by the powerful "concordist" metaphor of God as the "author" of two "books," nature and Scripture, which ultimately must agree.
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
We find no compelling evidence that the earth's geological features can be explained by a global Flood. Here we consider three lines of evidence: global salt deposits, the order of deposition of sediment layers in the Grand Canyon, and the sequence of fossils in geological strata.
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
I found myself in a very awkward situation. On the one hand I was a follower of Jesus Christ who loved the Bible, knew that it was God's Word, and, therefore, not full of lies. However, I also was someone who had loved science for many years and was planning on pursuing a career in research...
In this series, Bob Jones University graduate David Buller recounts his spiritual and intellectual journey in which he came to a deeper understanding of the metaphorical nature of the Genesis creation account and no longer views evolution as contradictory to God's Word. It is the story of a courageous and truth-seeking heart.
If evolution is true, whales are related to the even-toed hoofed mammals, and there should be transitional fossil forms dating from about 45 to 50 million years ago.
Critics of evolution sometimes portray the theory as an untestable historical conjecture, depicting it as fundamentally different from experimental science in the lab. But the hunt for the earliest tetrapods was an effort to test a hypothesis that had generated a prediction.
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
Many evolutionary critics have identified the Cambrian Explosion as a stumbling block to the theory of evolution, arguing that the "expected transitions between major invertebrate phyla are absent, and that the suddenness of their appearance in the fossil record demonstrates that evolutionary explanations are not viable." Keith Miller argues that the Cambrian Explosion is not so problematic as these opponents claim after all.
As a child, I started reading the Bible as soon as I could and I made my decision for Jesus wholeheartedly at the age of nine. Nurtured in an "all Christian environment," I knew little else. But certain questions tended to nag at me.
By all accounts, my faith should have perished the moment I started asking questions about faith and science. All my life I'd been taught that I had to choose—between believing the Bible and believing my science book, between honoring God and embracing evolution.
In this short series, Brian Godawa relates his personal journey from faith in instantaneous creation to gradual evolution. He initially held the scientific six-day model of creation after reading The Genesis Flood, thinking this to be the plainest reading one could have. However, he quickly realized that his "simple" reading was biased by his 20th century, westernized culture that thought in scientific terms. Ultimately, the Bible is inerrant on matters of faith, life and God, but there are cultural barriers threaded throughout the text that must be overcome with proper hermeneutics.
Outside of my family and my personal relationship with God, there is nothing in recent years that has shaped me more profoundly than the Sunday School class I teach. It all began ten years ago, when I was asked to do a three week series on biology and faith.
I'm a conservative evangelical. When I became a Christian fourteen years ago, I not only embraced profound new spiritual perspectives, but inherited a host of new scientific views: the earth was young, macro-evolution was false, and to affirm the contrary was to discredit the Bible and even the Gospel.
I am a fan of the blog "Jesus Creed." Recently it published an interesting post about the transition from fins to limbs as evidenced by fossils of an organism trapped in sediment 375 million years ago.
