Anthony Fauci's ignorance of science

We must not ignore what the science tells us about science denial, this is what Adrian Bardon tells us in his speech.

Top U.S. COVID-19 adviser Anthony Fauci recently blamed the country's ineffective pandemic response on an American "anti-science bias." He called this bias "inconceivable," because "science is truth." Fauci compared those discounting the importance of masks and social distancing to "anti-vaxxers" in their "amazing" refusal to listen to science.

It is Fauci's profession of amazement that amazes me. As well-versed as he is in the science of the coronavirus, he's overlooking the well-established science of "anti-science bias," or science denial.

Anthony Fauci seems to be enamoured of the Chinese way of looking at things, No, science is not truth and the way they pervert the truth. Many top scientist have a grievance with him.

The story has to do with evolution. “The human talent for rationalization is a product of many hundreds of thousands of years of adaptation. Our ancestors evolved in small groups, where cooperation and persuasion had at least as much to do with reproductive success as holding accurate factual beliefs about the world.”

So, why does the speaker deal with the flood of Noah?, This is because of millions of years that have coached humans to be guilty of the denial of science.

New discoveries are still stunning archaeologists!

Many people tend to think that ancient men could not have been as clever as we are. This is in keeping with the Darwinian idea that humans evolved very gradually from ape-like creatures and learning was a slow hit-or-miss affair. They were not expected to accomplish much intellectually.

However, the pyramids, Stonehenge and other ancient monuments and devices tell an entirely different kind of story.

Now, a discovery in England, has got archaeologists puzzled. They dug up the largest prehistoric structure, just under two miles from Stonehenge.

The discovered site is a huge circle, around 2 kilometres (1.2 miles) in diameter, consisting of twenty shafts that are five metres deep (!6 feet) and up to 20 metres (65 ft) in diameter

The archaeologists are puzzled because this structure is way off what they thought.

“A wide range of dates were calculated, some as old as 7,179 ± 28 years BC for shell, and 1130 BC for bone (calibrated), but all from the same deposits. The archaeological report admits: “There is a wide range of time represented in the radiocarbon dates- early dates are on shells and suggest that the determinations from these samples are not reliable.”

Carbon dating is full on assumptions, while it is the most accurate dating method.

Our Hum Might Have Originated With Primordial Lighting

There's an electrical hum in most animals, including ourselves. No one knows where it came from or why exactly it exists. Now, new research suggests this electric hum came from primordial lightning.

Colin Price, lead author on the new study and researcher at the Porter School of the Environment and Earth Sciences at Tel Aviv University in Israel, told Live Science. "We think that on evolutionary timescales, over billions of years, life-forms may have used what nature has given them and have somehow either synchronized to those frequencies or adapted to them."

"Evolution exploits whatever it can," said Michael Levin, a biologist at Tufts University in Massachusetts who was not involved with the new research. He noted for example, "When living things are screened [blocked] from a geomagnetic field, they don't develop right."

The study is just an attempt to get something good of evolution. We might think that God, who knows everything, might have put it there.

Newly Discovered Seal Bears Witness to Jewish Resolve After Temple’s Destruction

What was life like for the Jewish people after the destruction of the First Holy Temple in Jerusalem and the ensuing Babylonian exile?

A remarkable recent archaeological find in Jerusalem’s City of David is shedding light on this question, and experts believe it reflects the Jewish people’s resolve to reinstate key societal features that had been destroyed during the siege on the Holy City.

The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced in a statement that the find consists of “a double stamp impression on a bulla and a seal made of reused pottery sherds".

The artefacts date back to the period during which the Jewish people began to return to the Land of Israel following the Babylonian exile (423 BC – 372 BC), a journey documented in the Book of Ezra, which is the last historical book in the Hebrew Bible..

“The impression depicts a man sitting on a large chair–probably a king–and in front of him columns,” said the the Israel Antiquities Authority.

This might picture a king and his subjects.

Chinese Scientist Say modern-Looking Insects Are 99 Million Years Old. .

It may sound odd, but all the insects preserved in amber in Myanmar are by evolutionist deemed to be 99 millions years old. This is because the daters only got to measure a piece that was thought to be 99 million years old. And now they report the song, as it were.

In a study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Chinese scientist looked at the coloration of insects though to be 99 millions years old.

Nanjing Institute of Geology and Palaeontology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (NIGPAS) Dr. Cai Chenyang, associate professor at NIGPAS who lead the study.

This is what he had to say.

"The rare set of amber fossils includes cuckoo wasps with metallic bluish-green, yellowish-green, purplish-blue or green colours on the head, thorax, abdomen, and legs. In terms of colour, they are almost the same as cuckoo wasps that live today, said Dr. Cai."

Now, if the insects were as old as they suppose, then it means no evolution for 99 million years. How dinosaurs turned into birds in a short span of time? is a question they have to address.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy may have declared that the answer to life, the universe, and everything is 42, but a team of astronomers has now revised that figure down to 36. More precisely, they say that among the several hundred billion stars in the Milky Way, there reside, roughly, three dozen civilizations advanced enough to communicate with us, the team reports today in The Astrophysical Journal. The scientists arrived at this number using the assumption that there is nothing special about our Solar System, and that another with a similar chemical makeup would also evolve advanced life in a similar span of time, The Guardian reports. The downside is that our nearest neighbour is likely to be 17,000 light-years away, making communication virtually impossible. Until, that is, we tune into Hitchhiker’s subether waveband.

Nonetheless, our solar system and our galaxy are special. they can harbour life.

Life does not occur when there's a lot of water. However, life has to be created.
