The Troubling Ethics of Fetal Tissue Research

Biblical Genetics ·

2021/05/24

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? Location: Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park Links and notes: CMI, vaccines, and vaccination RNA Vaccines: harnessing God’s design to help

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

Biblical Genetics ·

2021/04/19

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

Mutations are not as random as you think

Biblical Genetics ·

2021/04/01

The idea that mutations are random is an important concept for evolutionary theory. Yet, multiple areas of research are telling us that mutation placement and type are not at all random. There is also no reason to believe that mutation rates have remained constant over history. Join Dr Rob and he wades into the deep waters of mutation theory. Links: Guiblet WM, et al. 2021. Non-B DNA: a major contributor to small- and large-scale variation in nucleotide substitution frequencies across the

Was Africa the cradle of humanity?

Biblical Genetics ·

2021/03/09

The idea that Africa was where humans originated has been drilled into our heads for decades, but cracks are beginning to appear, and they are being published by well-known scientists in top-level journals. If it is not true, how can we explain the data from a biblical perspective? To do that, we can turn to any number of ideas, including patriarchal drive, inbreeding, differential mutation rates, selective sweeps, differences in starting population sizes among the modern world populations, higher

Genetic diversity on the Ark

2021/01/31

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.

Genetic Entropy vs Simple Organisms. Was Darwin right?

Biblical Genetics ·

2020/12/22

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

The Improbable DNA Corkscrew

2020/12/01

Location: Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary and CREW Bird Rookery Swamp Trail, near Estero, Florida, USA 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

The fragility of DNA is the bane of Darwinism

Biblical Genetics ·

2020/11/25

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.
