Phosphorus plays a crucial role in life chemistry. Phosphates serve as the backbone for all nucleic acids and are the major repository of chemical energy for metabolism. The human body contains about 11,000 parts per million of phosphorus by weight.
TCM - Biochemical DesignA Biochemical Watch Found in a Cellular Heath1/10/2008 Kai ABC Proteins Re-invigorate the Watchmaker Argument for God’s Existence A Couple of Tasty Morsels5/22/2008 A sampling of new research uncovers more function for junk DNA, undermines one of the best arguments for biological evolution A Skunk by Any Other NameAugust 1, 2011 Over the few short months I’ve been a visiting scholar at RTB, I’ve noticed the emergence of new terminology in the scientific literature to describe data and observations that don’t fit neatly into the evolutionary paradigm, but do comport with RTB’s creation model. An Unexpected Find5/29/2008 New research uncovers an unanticipated role for pseudogenes, undermines one of the best arguments for biological evolution Are Pseudogenes Junk?5/31/2007 Evolutionary biologists regard “junk” DNA as one of the most potent pieces of evidence for biological evolution. Often identical (or nearly identical) segments of junk DNA occur in a wide range of related organisms. Bacteria: Ordered And Organized2/28/2008 Latest Discoveries Highlight the Exquisite Molecular Arrangement of Simplest Life Biochemical Synonyms Optimized, Part 1 Of 28/21/2008 New Study Uncovers More Evidence for Biochemical Optimization and Intelligent Design Biochemical Synonyms Optimized, Part 2 Of 28/28/2008 New Study Uncovers More Evidence for Biochemical Optimization and Intelligent Design Biochemists Ask, "how Low Can Life Go?"7/1/2006 "How low can you go?" This familiar call challenges limbo dancers to maneuver their way under a stick held ever closer to the ground. Some biochemists have taken part in a stick dance of their own. Advances in molecular biology make it possible for scientists to take up the challenge of determining "How low can life go?" as they assess life's minimal complexity. Bombarded By Design5/9/2008 “Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose.” — Richard Dawkins, atheist biologist, in The Blind Watchmaker Creation Vs. Evolution: Why A Model Is Essential8/25/2008 The public debate about teaching intelligent design has exposed widespread confusion both inside and outside the church about how the scientific enterprise operates. One of the most frequent complaints scientists make about the Intelligent Design movement is that their brand of intelligent design is not testable, falsifiable, or predictive.

More On The Nucleoskeletal Hypothesis7/12/2007 Study of Sexual Parasite Reveals Function for Junk DNA Mutations Exceed Expectations4/1/1999 Ironically, modern "advances" could serve to hasten humanity's demise. For the first time, geneticists have measured the proportion of harmful mutations arising in one generation of advanced species. The numbers are staggering. New Clues To A Genesis Mystery10/1/2003 The biblical record of patriarchs who lived 900+ years has raised questions and doubts for centuries. In the context of current life expectancy (which places me on the brink of “senior citizen” status), some Bible readers assume the “years” in the Genesis 5 and 11 chronologies must have been shorter than the familiar 12-month whirl around the Sun. Opossum Genome Leaves Evolution’s Best Argument Dead In The Road6/14/2007 First Marsupial Genome Indicates that Junk DNA Has Function Overlapping Genes Evince Intelligent Design7/26/2007 DNA Researchers Uncover Evidence that Overlapping Genes Are Widespread in Mammal Genomes Restricted By Design10/2/2008 Rational Design of Novel Enzyme Highlights Biochemical Design Traffic Signals In The Cell4/11/2008 I saw a film a while back where a key part of the plot involved the main characters establishing control over the traffic lights in a major city. By slightly “adjusting” the action of the lights, they were able to create utter chaos in a way they desired.

Discoveries mount daily -- some of them breakthroughs -- providing powerful support for RTB's testable creation model. In these pages, RTB scholars describe (briefly) 10 breakthrough discoveries of 2006. This new information bolsters the case for a God-created universe and Earth. Booklets are an effective way to introduce people to Reasons To Believe. Level: All 1 Booklet (published 2006), 03 oz. Beyond Irreducible Complexity (Audio CD)Price: $6.95 Over the last several years, Michael Behe's (Darwin's Black Box) idea of "irreducible complexity" has enabled the Intelligent Design community to make great strides. Now, Dr. Fazale ("Fuz") Rana, advances the evidence for biochemical design to the next level. In fact, Dr. Rana believes that irreducible complexity is only one in a chain of arguments that can be marshaled to build an overwhelming cumulative case for biochemical design. Cell's Design: How Chemistry Reveals the Creator's ArtistryPrice: $16.95
Creation as Science: A Testable Model Approach to End the Creation/Evolution WarsPrice: $21.95 Development of the scientific creation-model concept represents one of Hugh Ross's most significant contributions to Christian apologetics. This book explains why a testable model is essential, outlines the basic components of RTB's model, and includes predictions about the direction of future research. Ross brings a calm, confident voice to the acrimonious clash between intelligent design/creation and evolution advocates. Origins of LifePrice: $19.95 For years naturalistic theories have monopolized academia as the only possible scientific explanation for the origin of life. But there's something many people don't know--the facts just don't support such theories. RTB Live! Volume 7 - The Cell's Design: Fazale RanaPrice: $9.95 Hear Fazale Rana describe his journey to faith and show how current scientific discoveries at the cellular level provide evidence for a supernatural Designer–the God of the Bible. Your spirit will soar as you see the elegance of the cell's features as testimony to God's creative majesty. Recorded February 2009, at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. |
