First Life on Earth9th International Society For The Study Of The Origins Of Life Meeting7/12/1999 The meeting was held at UC San Diego the week of 7/12-7/16 (1999). This campus has a strong origin of life presence. Some of the workers in the field who are affiliated with UCSD are: Stanley Miller; Leslie Orgel; Gerald Joyce; Reza Ghadiri; Russell Doolittle; Jeffery Bada and Gustaf Arrhenius. Acid Rain Polluted Early Earth9/4/2008 New Research Indicates Early Earth Conditions Were Too Harsh for Life’s Origin An Inside Report On Issol ’99: Life From The Heavens? Not This Way...January 1, 2000 Some scientists’ commitment to finding a naturalistic explanation for the (basically miraculous) origin of life on this Earth remains firm – but the demands of that commitment are becoming much higher. It requires "blinder" faith than ever, in light of recent findings. Bacteria's Long Reign4/1/2002 Why do stars twinkle? Why does God sometimes seem silent? Some “why” questions are more elusive than others. Blind Faith Fuels Origin-of-life Quest: A Report On Issol '997/1/1999 The biological community’s mindlock on a natural-process origin of life seems to hold, but its irrationality becomes increasingly obvious with time. Hugh Ross and I made this observation as we spent time recently among some of the most distinguished scholars in the origin-of-life ranks at the combined 12th International Conference on the Origin of Life and the 9th ISSOL (International Society for the Study of the Origin of Life) meeting at the University of California, San Diego. Could Impacts Jump-start The Origin Of Life?11/08/2010 The field of astrobiology was launched out of growing frustration with attempts to explain—independent of miraculous causation—the origin of life on Earth. Today, after twenty years of generous funding and intense research, astrobiology still ranks as science’s only data-free discipline. Creation Model Passes Big Test1/1/2005 In some ways, science operates like a football pick'em contest. Scientists develop hypotheses, theories, and models to explain some aspect of nature's workings. These ideas have logical consequences that lead to predictions about what scientists should have already discovered and what they will uncover in the future. Earliest Direct Evidence Of Life5/2/2008 In his book Origins of Life, Dr. Fazale Rana reviews the extensive indirect evidence for the appearance of primitive life on Earth as early as 3.5 billion years ago (bya), with some indications that it may have appeared as early as 3.8+ bya. Eating The Elephant Bite By Bite9/17/2009 New Work Takes Scientists One Step Closer to Creating Life in the Lab Experiencing How Early Life Lived12/4/2008 New Discovery Affirms RTB Model Predictions Explosive Genetic Expansion 3.3 To 2.8 Billion Years Ago Provides New Evidence For Intelligent Design2/2/2011 When it comes to new scientific discoveries, however, it’s not death that has been on my mind but life—specifically its origin. Last week, I described some exciting recent work that supports the notion that metabolically complex, microbial life appeared early in Earth’s history, around 3.8 billion years ago. Finding A Popsicle At The Bottom Of The Deep Freezer11/1/2007 Microbes and DNA from 8-Million-Year-Old Ice Shed Light on Origin-of-Life Question Insight Into The Late Heavy Bombardment And Rtb's Creation Model6/25/2009 I've known people who have had a tumultuous childhood that has left them with emotional scars. The trauma of the first years of Earth's existence resulted in some scarring as well. And, based on a new study, perhaps RTB's origin-of-life model might suffer a scar or two. More Evidence For The Design Of Earthquake Activity8/18/2008 Stanford University geophysicists Norman H. Sleep and Mark D. Zoback note that the higher tectonic activity during Earth's early history could have played a key role in cycling critically important nutrients and energy sources for life New Discovery Confirms Life's Early Appearance On Earth4/1/2004 Paleontologist Niles Eldredge refers to it as “the most arresting fact that [he has] ever learned.”1 Many others in the scientific community share Eldredge’s astonishment. What causes their amazement? New Evidence For Life's Rapid Origin1/1/2001 Recent research indicates that the Moon suffered intense asteroid and meteoroid bombardment impacting its entire surface some 3.9 billion years ago.1, 2 Because of the Moon’s proximity to Earth and because of Earth’s greater gravity, we can reasonably infer that Earth, too, suffered heavy bombardment at that time— an assault as much as thirty times more intense. Now Hear This! New Evidence For Ancient Life!9/3/2009 Who, what, where, when, why, and how? These are the questions that good journalists ask. They are also the same inquiries that origin-of-life researchers make about first life on Earth. When did life first appear? Origin-of-life Predictions Face Off: Evolution Vs. Biblical Creation4/1/2001 When addressing the challenges that naturalistic origin-of-life scenarios present to their faith, Christians often point to the many problems facing origin-of-life researchers. But just pointing out the problems with the evolutionary origin-of-life models has alienated secular scientists, and has, in fact, driven many scientists away from Christ. Smokers Not Healthy For Life1/15/2009 New Discovery Undercuts Origin of Life at Hydrothermal Vents Sulfur Caused Early Life To Sprout8/31/2011 Researchers made headlines recently when they announced the discovery of evidence for fossilized sulfur-metabolizing microbes. Although sulfur is often associated with death and destruction, this latest work indicates it played a key role in allowing life to thrive on early Earth. The data indicates that sulfur-loving organisms existed on our planet, around 3.4 billion years ago. Telltale Rocks1/1/2002 Research conducted by scientists from Denmark and Australia has uncovered new evidence for the metabolic complexity of early life on Earth. This team studying 3.5-billion-year-old rocks from northwestern Australia recovered sulfide deposits that represent the activity of ancient sulfate-reducing microorganisms. Too Hot To Handle10/18/2007 Genetic Code Indicates that Life Did Not Originate at High Temperatures What's Hiding On The Moon?9/5/2008 Sometimes the things we search for turn up in the most unlikely places. Such may be the case in gaining information about the origin of life here on Earth. Perhaps the best place to look for it is on the surface of the Moon! When Did Life First Appear On Earth?1/26/2011 An Update on RTB’s Origin of Life Model The holiday season is the time of the year when many people send out a newsletter providing friends and family members with updates of important events that have taken place over the course of the year. Where To Look For Earth's First Life1/1/2009 There's a down side to earthquakes and mudslides far beyond what most people are aware of. Plate tectonics and erosion are responsible for destroying the fossilized remains of Earth's first life. Why We Need To Return To The Moon5/28/2007 I vividly recall sitting up all night with a dozen other astronomy students as we watched live on television the first men walk on the moon. The Apollo missions were more than just television spectaculars, however. The Apollo program helped us solve the mystery of the moon’s origin and helped establish how amazingly designed the moon is for the support of advanced life on Earth. Our books The Creator and the Cosmos and Origins of Life tell the story.

This book is a great, non-threatening way to introduce other Christians to an old-earth creationist approach to integrating the Bible and science. The included questions for application and discussion make this userfriendly guide perfect for individual or group use. (Note: This is a revised version of a previous title, Bruce and Stan's Guide to How it All Began, by the same authors.) RTB Live! Volume 10 - Skeptics Forum: Hugh Ross, Fazale Rana and Michael ShermerPrice: $9.95 In this lively university debate, prominent atheist, Michael Shermer, presents his case against the scientific accuracy of the Bible. Hugh Ross and Fazale Rana counter Shermer's claims by presenting an overview of RTB's testable creation model. Recorded in 2009, at the University of North Florida.
