Field NoticesCharles Darwin: 12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882
Luther College Chips
February 26, 2009
Only half of my ancestry is British, but sometimes more than half my heart goes out to the United Kingdom. That's particularly true this year when, to honor the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth, the U.K. minted a two-pound coin that pictures the scientist's ape-like head staring a chimp eye to eye. The coin is ringed with a reminder that the great man's "On The Origin of Species" is now 150 years old.
In America, alas, and in my home state of Iowa, in the run-up to the 2008 caucuses, four pretenders to the presidency of the world's remaining superpower (Tancredo, Brownback, Paul and Huckabee) all flatly refused to accept Darwin's now 150-year-old evolutionary theory. One of that group, Mike Huckabee, handily won Iowa's Republican caucus vote.
This in a nation where, for seven years, if the truth about global warming or weapons of mass destruction in Iraq didn't fit, America's top leaders quietly set aside good evidence and replaced it with public relations, confident swagger and confessions-by-torture. It made me wonder if we, as citizens, were gluttons for torment.
On the eve of Darwin's 200th birthday a Gallup poll of Americans showed that only 14 percent accept his theory of natural selection, a theory that favorable traits survive to a new generation better than unfavorable ones. Natural selection is the basic engine of evolutionary change.
A Pew Research Center poll in 2006 found that 58 percent of Americans would prefer that schools teach creationism, an article of religious faith, alongside Darwin's evolution, a testable theory which science has found to be more and more robust in the 150 years since Darwin first published it.
Iowa's favored Republican, Huckabee, defended his broad-mindedness by conceding, in a press conference, "If you want to believe that you and your family came from apes, I'll accept that." His answer shows an inexact understanding of Darwin, and blurs religion and science, equating a repeatedly confirmed scientific theory with other "beliefs" more or less as those who would have teachers introduce creationism in schools are happy to introduce religion into a science class.
Faith in a seven-day creation or an intelligent universal designer with a special love for humans keeps Americans like Huckabee from embracing Darwin's lens for viewing the long and messy story of life on planet earth.
To give Americans credit, even Darwin wrestled with the implications his theories had for his faith. He started out as a biblical literalist who considered a career in the clergy. Slowly and grudgingly he shifted from literalism to deism to his ultimate position of agnosticism, admitting in an autobiography he did not publish that, "the mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble to us."
The over 80 percent of Americans who let faith or ignorance stand in the way of Darwin's science fail to see the evidence that is all around us. In the end, people and the planet both end up paying a price.
You don't have to squint backward to the long-vanished quadruped ancestor people share with chimps to see evolution at work. Two Princeton researchers, Peter and Rosemary Grant, beginning in 1973, have demonstrated that in a mere 25 generations, finches on the Galapagos Islands (where Darwin firmed up his own original theories by observation) have changed their beak size and behavior to adapt to environmental shifts in food supply. This change is evolutionary because it has ultimately made one group of adapted finches unlikely to mate with the other.
In our own bodies, the evolution of bacteria favors those resistant to the antibiotics we use to control them, making common medicinal treatments less likely to be effective over time. In the fields that surround us, weeds that resist herbicides fare better over time than those killed by herbicides, and troublesome insects that tolerate insecticides survive at a higher rate than those sensitive to them.
In other words, natural selection, taking place as I write, affects our health and the abundance of our food supply.
An insight into evolutionary thinking is responsible for big walleyes being caught over the last few years in the river below campus. For years the Iowa Department of Natural Resources stocked the Upper Iowa with the offspring of pike drawn from Iowa lakes: offspring that failed to survive. Then one day some bright evolutionary thinker realized that the offspring of river walleyes might be genetically better disposed to thrive in a river. Result: naturally selected thriving fish.
The theory of evolution is basic to the study of not only biology but also human behavior—the most recent studies I've read that relied on evolutionary theory explain why children put dirt and dirty objects in their mouths and why people prefer, in potential mates, a flat belly button with a t-shaped crease.
This, ultimately, is why I join the Brits in celebrating Darwin. He moved from "On the Origin of Species" to "The Descent of Man," putting aside religious reservation and embracing the facts that presented themselves to him: that people are not set apart from the rest of the animal and vegetable world, but a piece of it.
Like the Darwin on the British coin, when I look at an ape I'm happy to admit that I recognize a not-so-distant cousin whose future on the planet is controlled by the very same forces that affect my own.

U.S. lags in promise to help Mexico battle cartels
U.S. lags in vow to help battle cartels
After 3 years, much equipment still hasn't been sent to Mexico
Published 5:30 am, Monday, May 23, 2011
WASHINGTON - Nearly three years have come — and gone - since the United States agreed in 2008 to provide equipment and training worth $1.5 billion to Mexico in an effort to help combat raging drug violence.
Yet, despite pledges by two White House administrations to fix the bureaucratic problems besetting the so-called Merida Initiative, barely 59 percent of the promised U.S. spending has been completed, according to the State Department's latest accounting.
And with the toll of horrific killings in Mexico mounting, the yardstick for success is even more elusive.
U.S. officials highlight the money spent, noting that $423 million worth of aircraft, surveillance equipment and training have reached beleaguered security forces since December 2008.

The Obama administration hopes to deliver $500 million worth of additional equipment and training by the end of 2011.
The Mexican government must make "significant inroads against drug-trafficking organizations and organized criminal groups" before Merida is widely seen as a success, caution Congressional Research Service analysts Clare Ribando Seelke and Kristen Finklea, who prepared an update for Congress.
Mexico points to a delivery timeline that has repeatedly fallen behind schedule. Even now, U.S. officials say only 75 percent of the spending is due to be completed by mid-2012.
The delayed aircraft and other equipment remain "critically important" to Mexico's campaign, says Ricardo Alday, spokesman for the Mexican Embassy in Washington.
"The importance of our bilateral relationship … should be the compass that allows all U.S. actors involved to comply with the promised delivery time frame," Alday said.
'Cold comfort' in Mexico
Meantime, ordinary Mexican citizens are worried about security on the street.
"Clearly, if you are a Mexican, the fact that fewer drugs are going into the United States is cold comfort if you're still finding duffle bags full of severed heads on the streets of your town," a State Department official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "We have to make the average Mexican feel better about their security - and the way you do that is you make it more secure."
The Government Accountability Office, Congress' watchdog, has faulted both administrations.
Three separate State Department branches distribute funds without a consolidated database, and the Pentagon separately provides related assistance, making it "difficult" to track spending and progress, GAO investigators found.
Congress imposed additional hurdles, requiring the State Department to report whether Mexico had "appropriately investigated and prosecuted" alleged human rights abuses before lawmakers released the final 15 percent of some annual funding.
It took more than two years for the United States and Mexico to establish a joint office in Mexico City to coordinate 50 separate Merida-related projects on a daily basis.
Defense officials didn't start coordination sessions with Mexican counterparts in Mexico City until 20 months into the program.
"I had high hopes," says Sen. John Cornyn, R-San Antonio, one of 92 senators who backed funding in 2008. "I think the initiative had the best of intentions, but it just seems to me it's been overrun by subsequent events."
Deliveries 'very slow'
Indeed, what began as an emergency U.S. assistance program for a besieged neighbor is a case study of good intentions slowed to a crawl.
"Deliveries of big-ticket items have been very, very slow," laments Andrew Selee, director of the Mexico Institute at Washington, D.C.'s Woodrow Wilson International Center. "Senior administration officials have upped the pressure on the bureaucracy because they're embarrassed things aren't moving fast enough."
Of 22 aircraft worth nearly $400 million, only three military-style Blackhawk helicopters and eight Bell helicopters had been delivered by April.
Signs of progress
Efforts continue to try to deliver six state-of-the-art Blackhawks, a twin-engine intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft and four maritime surveillance aircraft.
"Am I satisfied? No," says Rep. Gene Green, D-Houston, a former member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee who has held discussions in Mexico City with his counterparts. "We in Congress keep asking the State Department, 'Why aren't these resources and assets being sent?' "
Officials point to some signs of progress, with delivery of $60 million worth of non-intrusive equipment to scan cargo containers, rail cars, trucks and cars for drugs, cash and weapons, 13 armored vehicles and 318 polygraph machines.
U.S.-subsidized training has prepared 4,500 college educated investigators for Mexico's federal police, 1,737 new corrections officers and more than 3,000 Mexican prosecutors, among other things.
"We are making tremendous progress on the delivery side," the State Department official said.

I feel like I'm intruding on something but I thought I'd say I liked the aching sadness of this. I've thought about how memories of my life will be deleted when I'm gone and that seems bad but I won't even be around to care. It'd be nice if everything were kept somewhere, and I guess I don't know for sure that it isn't though I doubt it. Gravestones and medical paraphernalia are appropriate.
You asked me a long time ago who I am and I assume you've known for a while but I wish I'd answered instead of being awkward. Sorry. I was different then.

Experts found strong evidence of burnt human skull remains at the home of the man accused of murdering April Jones, a jury has heard.
An anthropologist told the trial of Mark Bridger that tiny bone fragments were recovered from the fireplace in his living room, but they had been so badly burned that it was impossible to conduct a DNA test.
Bridger, 47, denies abducting and murdering five-year-old April, who disappeared last October while playing near her home in Machynlleth, mid-Wales.
On the final day of the prosecution case, the jury at Mold crown court heard from Dr Julie Roberts, a forensic anthropologist specialising in burnt skeletal remains.
Roberts said she studied five bone fragments found in the debris of a log-burning fireplace at Mount Pleasant, Bridger's rented cottage in Ceinws, Powys.
"There is strong evidence to support the view that three fragments are human bone and very strong evidence to support the view they are burnt bone," she said.
A fourth fragment was "more likely to be human than non-human", and the nature of a fifth was not possible to determine.
One fragment, selected because of its size, was subjected to a DNA test, she said. "It wasn't possible to obtain a DNA profile because it was so badly burned. All the fragments are either grey or an off-white colour which indicates severe burning or exposure to high temperatures."
Another bone fragment, studied under a microscope, had features similar to the skull of a child aged between four and eight, the jury heard.
Bridger, wearing a blue shirt, navy spotted tie and spectacles, looked at a television screen in the dock as the jury were shown images of the bone fragments.
Roberts said the bone had been transferred into the fire "in fragments, rather than the remains of a whole body or a head being put into the fire".
Asked by Elwen Evans QC, for the prosecution, whether the transfer could have happened during cleaning of the living room, she said: "Yes, that is a possibility, but it's not the only interpretation of why the fragments are there."
April, who had cerebral palsy, vanished while playing on her bike with a friend near their homes on Machynlleth's Bryn-y-Gog estate on 1 October last year. Her body was never found despite the biggest search operation in British policing history.
The prosecution say Bridger snatched and murdered the schoolgirl in a "sexually motivated" attack. The trial continues.

I have a Nikon D300. I can't seem to figure out what's wrong, I assume it's a setting issue. In low light situations even with the flash I can't seem to stop action or even properly light things. I have had any kind of issue like this on a camera before. In situations where I should be able to handhold I am using a monopod. I know there is enough light to not have to handhold, I mean I am using the flash. Frankly even with available light this should not be an issue.

Damian Lewis is convinced the writers of "Homeland" are planning to kill off his character.
The British actor plays war veteran-turned-Congressman Nicholas Brody in the hit drama, but he fears producers are aiming to shake up the show by axing his role.
He tells U.K. newspaper The Guardian, "You have to sign up for a long time, then they'll kill you at their leisure. I think the writers are desperate to kill me. I'm a pain in their [bleep], because Brody is quite a difficult character to write. There's a high head count on Homeland. Any one of us could get it at any point."

A healthy dose of skepticism is a good trait to possess. This helps us to discern fact from fiction and keeps us from being someone's pawn. The Bible shows that discernment is necessary. John writes that one should "test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world" (1 John 4:1, ESV). Therefore, one should not trust everything that comes along life's way. However, when one becomes overly skeptical, it is easy for one to become just as easily duped. In fact, it may be said that extreme skepticism (henceforth termed "hyper-skepticism") can lead one to a point that nothing can be accepted.
Hyper-skepticism is a growing problem. In fact, I recently conversed with an individual on the issue of hyper-skepticism. Throughout our conversation, I discovered three enormous problems with hyper skepticism.
Problem 1. Hyper-skepticism leads to a lack of trust in experience.
The first problem that comes from hyper-skepticism is a lack of trust in experience. In fact, the conversation I held with the individual began in this realm. The antagonist did not believe that one could believe in religious experiences. However, I provided data that corresponds not just with one person's experience, but the experience of countless others. For example, one cannot deny the incredible testimonies of Muslims who have had experiences with Christ which have led them to convert to Christianity despite the threat of execution. This was not good enough for the skeptic. This led me to ask how one could trust their experience in anything. Surprisingly, the antagonist agreed. This leads to further problems which will be dealt with in a moment.
When skepticism gets to the point that one's experiences cannot be trusted, then how can one learn anything about life and reality? The experiences of life mold one to become a better person. I would argue that one of God's greatest teachers in life is that of experience. Solomon wisely writes that "Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates reproof is stupid" (Proverbs 12:1, NASB). Life provides such reproof, or correction. Solomon rightly states "As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly" (Proverbs 26:11, NIV). This is the problem with hyper-skepticism. If one's experiences cannot be trusted, then how does one ever learn? Furthermore, it would seem that the lack of trust in religious experiences stems more from an anti-theological bias rather than intellectualism. How intellectual would it for the skeptic to resist God's extension of grace towards the skeptic? In such a case, hyper-skepticism has little to do with intellectualism and more to do with a heart of rebellion.
Problem 2. Hyper-skepticism leads to a lack of trust in empirical data.
The second problem of hyper-skepticism emerges from the first. If experiences cannot be trusted, then how can empirical data be trusted? Wait Pastor Brian!!! Empirical data is outside of one's senses, isn't it? Then how does this relate to one's sensual experiences? Consider this: one must use their senses to evaluate empirical data. As you are reading this article, you are evoking at least one of your senses: sight. Therefore, you are reading the empirical data (the words) by your sensual experience (sight). The same is true for the scientific method. When a scientist evaluates a claim, she may write down particular formulae. This uses sight and touch. She will then test her theory. The testing may include a wide variety of senses (sight, touch, hearing, smell, and perhaps tasting). Therefore, if one cannot trust one's experiences (sensual data), then empirical data is out of reach. The scientific method collapses from hyper-skepticism.
The apostle Thomas has been dubbed with the title "Doubting Thomas." This is due to Thomas' claim that he would not believe in Jesus' resurrection unless he saw the risen Christ for himself. Jesus appeared to Thomas and said to him, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it into my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe" (John 20:27, ESV). Thomas responded by proclaiming "My Lord and my God" (John 20:28)! Thomas believed the data that was in front of him. In fact, Thomas was no longer a skeptic. Thomas was a believer. Thomas' belief in the risen Jesus led him to eventually suffer martyrdom in Madras, India as identified by ancient testimony (see the article "Embarrassing Details Concerning the First Easter" here at pastorbrianchilton.wordpress.com for more information concerning Thomas' martyrdom at https://pastorbrianchilton.wordpress.com/2014/04/18/top-5-embarrassing-details-concerning-the-first-easter/). What if Thomas had not believed his experience? Thomas certainly would not have suffered martyrdom. Thomas would have said to have been foolish in such a case.
The skeptic I debated conceded the point that nothing could be known with hyper-skepticism and made the claim that certain experiences can be trusted. But this opens up the gate to all experiences. If someone is sick, would they deny their symptoms and pretend like they were not sick? How foolish! The sick person would seek medical treatment due to the experiences they were having. Should one pick and choose what experiences in their daily life is valid and which ones are not? No one lives life like this unless one is on some form of hallucinogenic drug. But religious experiences are not based on hallucinogens as argued by the debater. Why deny religious experiences if there are good reasons for believing their authenticity? It is true that some who have claimed to have religious experiences had other motives behind their claim. Some skepticism is healthy; however, for the skeptic to devalue all religious experiences when those experiences are held by those who certainly do not meet the standard of schizophrenia, or subject to hallucinations, due to an anti-theological bias is absurd. It leads towards the hyper-skepticism that has been evaluated in this article.
Problem 3. Hyper-skepticism leads to a lack of knowledge in existence.
Finally, if one cannot trust one's experiences or empirical data, then nothing is knowable. Even Rene Descartes "cognito ergo sum" (I think therefore I am) collapses with hyper-skepticism. How then can one even trust one's existence? If nothing can be trusted, then not even one's own existence is safe. Perhaps the person is just a delusion. Perhaps all existence is a delusion. Again, this leads to absurdity. Descartes' point is that one can know one's existence and that person's existence lends itself to the ultimate existence of a Creator. However, with hyper-skepticism, such cannot be said. In fact, hyper-skepticism lends itself to nothingness. Yet, the conscious, thinking, observer clearly knows that "nothing" is "no-thing." We do not live in a world of "no-things," we live in a world of existent realities. Therefore, hyper-skepticism should be devalued and rejected wholeheartedly by any truth-seeker.
Luckily, things are knowable. Some certainties do exist. Norman Geisler in his book The Big Book of Christian Apologetics lists five certainties:
"Logical Certainty. Logical certainty is found largely in mathematics and pure logic…
Metaphysical Certainty. …For example, I know for certain that I exist. This is undeniably so, since I cannot deny my existence without existing to make the denial…
Moral Certainty. Moral certainty exists where the evidence is so great that the mind lacks any reason to veto the will to believe it is so…In legal terms, this is what is meant by 'beyond all reasonable doubt.'…
Practical Certainty (High Probability). Practical certainty is not as strong as moral certainty. Persons claim to be 'certain' about things they believe have a high probability of truth…
Spiritual (Supernatural) Certainty. If we grant a theistic God's existence, he could give supernatural assurance that something is true. Likewise, if God speaks directly to a person…, then that person could have a spiritual certainty that transcends other kinds of certainty, because it comes directly from God…" (Geisler 2012, 74).
There are indeed things that can be known with a great deal of certainty. Religious experiences allow for a certainty that God not only exists, but is actively involved in creation and in the lives of human beings. Unfortunately, the hyper-skeptic may never be able to experience such a certainty, or any certainty for that matter, while they hold to their unjustified hyper-skepticism.
