  1. New link to video dropped recently .Here is the release information: Cambrian Explosion Remains the Gift that Keeps on Giving By David Coppedge 5 June 2026 https://scienceandculture.com/2026/06/cambrian-explosion-remains-the-gift-that-keeps-on-giving/ The Cambrian Explosion has been on my mind for a long time. I’ve been on the board of Illustra Media since its founding in 1997, and am proud of one of the company’s finest documentaries on intelligent design, Darwin’s Dilemma (2009). On the subject of that Cambrian classic, I have good news to share. It has been behind a paywall for 17 years — unless you speak a foreign language. Versions in German and Mandarin Chinese have been on Illustra’s YouTube channel since 2019, but English speakers could only buy the DVD or stream it. That all changed this year. The excellent full-length video, sharing much material with Stephen Meyer’s later New York Times bestselling book Darwin’s Doubt (2013), is now freely available on YouTube. And that’s not all: there are Bonus Features, too... But Wait; There’s More Another request I had been making of Lad and Jerry over years was to rescue some of the Bonus Features in their documentaries from the memory hole. Bonus Features were only available on the DVD versions. There were some real gems among them. Jerry went the extra step of uploading a key Bonus Feature from Darwin’s Dilemma: 22 questions about the Cambrian Explosion, biological information, and the positive case for intelligent design, answered by five ID leaders: Douglas Axe, Paul Nelson, Richard Sternberg, Jonathan Wells, and Stephen Meyer. It’s good to revisit the eloquence of our distinguished late colleague Dr. Jonathan Wells. These short clips, one to four minutes in length, can be very useful for sharing on social media in response to evolutionary claims. Friends of the ID movement will enjoy seeing how these ID spokesmen looked back in the day! And now, the Q&A features from Unlocking are up, too.
  2. A heart-rending read. And this is just one (of many thousands) of sad stories.
  3. Webb and Hubble reveal history of relic of the Milky Way galaxy’s formation 16 June 2026 Release weic2611 New research shows that Terzan 5 contains four separate generations of stars, confirming it as the prototype of a “bulge fossil fragment” Researchers have confirmed a new class of objects within our Milky Way galaxy: survivors called “bulge fossil fragments.” Terzan 5 is the prototype of these remnants of our galaxy's early formation. Billions of years ago, similar primordial clumps spread out and merged to form the Milky Way’s bulge, yet Terzan 5 remained intact until the present day. A new study that combined recent observations from the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope and data taken over 12 years from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has definitively shown that Terzan 5 experienced up to four distinct episodes of star formation, confirming that it’s not a true globular cluster. Instead, it is something much odder and rarer. The release, images and videos are available on: https://esawebb.org/news/weic2611/ TYp5dpWcy
  4. I was visiting family when attending the RC on the weekend. I'm sure they said the speaker was from "Brooklyn Bethel". It got me thinking, is there still a "Brooklyn Bethel?" Did I miss what he just said? Or was it simply a slip of the tongue? Is it either: Wallkill, Patterson or Warwick now.... Are there visiting speakers from the residents of the 'infirm' complex?
  5. Do we still own buildings located in Brooklyn? Or did we sell them all...?
  6. Ai Learned How the Universe Works—and That Created an Unexpected Problem for Physicists By Gayoung Lee 11 June 2026 3:05 pm When it comes to physics, Ai seems to be as bound by prior biases as human scientists. When cosmology makes headlines, we often see fancy images of cosmic maps and supernovas. But in reality, scientists have to sift through hundreds or thousands of calculations and simulations for months or years. In an effort to reduce this burden, some scientists have turned to Ai — but, as a new study finds, the pros and cons are quite nuanced... In a study published earlier this month in the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, cosmologists trained an AI neural network on simulations of ΛCDM—the standard model of cosmology (hereafter the standard model). Then, the team tested whether this pre-training would help or hurt the AI’s subsequent investigations into other outstanding problems in cosmology and astrophysics. Although the AI did show some promise, it developed biases that ended up being detrimental to finding new physics. [ED: Another reminder of how little we know. These 'best calculated guesses' still have no answers...] Article link: https://gizmodo.com/ai-learned-how-the-universe-works-and-that-created-an-unexpected-problem-for-physicists-2000770643
  7. ED: I am constantly reminded how little humans know. Yet, there are some humans who are convinced that complex processes - so sophisticated our best scientists are unable to resolve what they see - are convinced this all happened by chance and accident. Yet how would a plant survive for millenniums, waiting till this system eventually worked??? Enjoy the science. Ignore the false claims How do Venus flytraps work? New study sheds light on cellular mechanisms By Ellen Phiddian Thu 11 Jun. ABC (Australia) Science "This raises the intriguing possibility that complex systems that have evolved to maintain cellular functions may have been further deployed in the evolution of complex systems to trap prey," she said.

  8. I partnered with a brother doing door-to-door last weekend. He is 98. I worked hard to keep up... It was 29C (84f) here in Honolulu. I still struggle with the humidity! RC this weekend. 1135 in attendance today. I counted 6 getting baptised.
  9. NASA Webb Finds Strongest Evidence Yet for ‘Black Hole Stars’ Release date: 10 June 2026 10am; ID: 2026-119 Many of the scattered pieces of the little red dot puzzle are coming together. Since their initial discovery by NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope in 2022, astronomers have been making steady progress in solving the mystery of these small, red objects that populate the early universe. By combining the power of Webb with a natural “telescope,” a team of scientists recently obtained the deepest spectrum to date of a little red dot. Referred to as GLIMPSE-17775, this compact red source’s abundant spectral lines provide multiple lines of evidence that converge to support the black hole star scenario: Little red dots are black holes enshrouded by cocoons of hot dense gas.

  10. Is it working, Richard? Any problems that I should be aware of? Did you run it from the Windows version? It is time that I sync and backup again...
  11. I was the same, but I went ahead and gave it up. I now realize it was unnecessary to have 2 copies of the KJV w Strong's. I console myself by getting access to our (Wescott & Hort) Greek Interlinear via the web on WOL. However, I now have the Hebrew interlinear on my Lin app as well. Bit of a bonus. This makes up for me losing my hardcopy of JP Greens interlinear.
  12. STScI Scientists Surprised to Find Brightness ‘Gap’ in Ancient Star Cluster 03 June 2026 10:00am Release ID: 2026-405 Summary In a serendipitous discovery, STScI scientists using the Euclid space telescope have for the first time found a red-dwarf brightness “gap” feature in the population of a globular cluster—an ancient, crowded collection of stars. A similar gap was first identified in data from the Gaia observatory of nearby stellar populations. However, it has never before been detected in a globular cluster. The gap provides clues to processes happening deep within the stars’ interiors. This finding would not have been possible without the software and techniques originally developed at STScI for NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope over more than two decades. These tools allowed the team to push the limits of Euclid, and in the future, the Roman Space Telescope. Article link: https://www.stsci.edu/contents/news-releases/2026/news-2026-405 Pic Description: This Euclid image of globular cluster NGC 6397 is speckled with hundreds of thousands of stars, which vary in size and color. Most stars are located at the cluster’s center, where they are bound together by gravity. Scientists studying NGC 6397 found that when they grouped the cluster’s stars by brightness and color they observed a thin brightness “gap” of expected but missing low-mass stars called red dwarfs. This gap is thought to be linked to changes occurring within some stars’ interiors. This is the first time the gap feature was discovered in a globular cluster. Brightness gap explained: This graph shows the brightness gap that scientists found using Euclid when they grouped the globular cluster NGC 6397’s stars by brightness and color. What they observed was a thin “gap” of expected but missing low-mass stars called red dwarfs. The observations fit well with their model prediction. This gap is thought to be linked to changes occurring within some stars’ interiors, giving astronomers a glimpse at processes happening inside stars even from thousands of light-years away. This is the first time the gap feature was discovered in a globular cluster. Credits: Massimo Griggio (STScI), Leah Hustak (STScI)
  13. Hubble Captures M88 on Journey to Center of Virgo Cluster By Goddard Space Flight Center 29 May 2026 The focus of this NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image is an active spiral galaxy on a journey lasting hundreds of millions of years. The galaxy Messier 88 (M88), also known as NGC 4501, is located about 63 million light-years away in the constellation Coma Berenices (Berenice’s Hair). M88 is an active galaxy, which means that its center harbors a supermassive black hole that is snacking on gas and dust. Astronomers estimate the black hole is around 100 million times as massive as the Sun, and it appears to be powering outflows of gas from the galaxy’s center.

  14. I have resisted doing the 'update all' feature on my PC - to protect my KJV ancillary translation. {So far - so good. It's still working!}
  15. The theories posted on here as 'facts' only show the arrogance of some humans. It highlights how little humans actually know. It will be so interesting discovering the truth, and looking back all these posts. Lol
