It’s a reasonably common DpSU topic – Brian Thomas finds a report of some galaxy at the edge of the universe (in time, if not in space) that looks a little older than would be expected according to Big Bang related models, and concludes that we must ditch it altogether and that we should thus [...]

Mistakes Were Made, Part 2
Yesterday’s DpSU was also by Dao and is again about how, in the words of Dr Robbins, Mistakes in Science Apparently Means Creationism Is True. Her new article is called More Transparency Needed in Science Textbooks, Museums, and applies the “With this many errors…how can the field of science maintain any semblance of infallibility or [...]

Mistakes Were Made – But Not By Us
Today’s Daily (pseudo)Science Update is by Christine Dao, rather than the usual Brian Thomas. Her article is called Mistakes and Misconduct in Science and tries to argue that science is fallible and prone to political influence. And I’m sure you can guess where she is going with that.

Newton
I’m getting the impression that the That’s a Fact series is now reduced to just reusing old ICR material and reformatting it for video consumption. This current video – Isaac Newton – is seemingly taken from an old Acts & Facts series, Man of Science, Man of God. As you can probably already guess, the [...]

IEE: Eucharistio
This week’s Science Education Essentials series is, as usual, neither science nor educational, but it’s also not very interesting. Once again, it’s all about Thanksgiving, or more precisely giving thanks. Now, according to Dr Forlow: Eucharistio is a Greek verb used to mean to thank, to give thanks, to be thankful, to be grateful.Colossians 3:17 says, “And [...]

Here’s a brief summary of this month’s edition. At present, the November edition is on their Acts and Facts homepage. For future reference this edition can be [...]

INDELs
There was no DpSU for Wednesday from the Institute for Creation Research. Instead, on there home page is a Days of Praise article called Giving Thanks for Christian Friends. From this I take it that they’re taking the time off to celebrate Thanksgiving, a holiday with all the hallmarks of a pagan Harvest Festival without [...]

Another of These Man-Dinosaur Ones
You may remember the DpSU from last week covered in The Extinction of the Megafauna, when Brian Thomas argued that humans lived with dinosaurs. Today – in Bird Fossils Offer Clues to Dinosaur Question – he tries the same thing.

Anammox
I believe I predicted that there would be a chemistry DpSU today, and look what there is – New Insights into Earth’s Nitrogen-Balancing System. That may sound more biological than chemical, but the title of the paper that it is based on – Molecular mechanism of anaerobic ammonium oxidation – shows it to be more [...]

It seems I need to get around to part 2 of Neural Nets. I wrote that post in response to the DpSU IBM Attempts to Build Computer ‘Brain’ back at the end of August, and said that I would make a part two. This isn’t it, but the most recent edition of the ICR’s That’s [...]
