Bioinspired Flying Robots and Leprosy & God’s Providence | Stars, Cells, and God #ChristianApologetics #ReasonsToBelieve #ScientificMethod #ScientificResearch #MaryPatriotNews [Video]

#christianscientists #scienceandfaith #apologetics Join Hugh Ross and Fazale “Fuz” Rana as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, including the reality of God’s existence.Bioinspired Flying RobotsDrones the size of tiny flies could be sent en masse to inspect and diagnose hazardous sites, or fly through piles of rubble to find and determine the condition of trapped victims, or released from spacecraft to assist in exploration. By meticulously copying the designs in fruit flies and gnats, scientists used miniaturized, high-power density piezoelectric devices to develop the equivalent of flight muscles. They then copied the biological gyroscope in bees to make a gyroscope that weighs only 15 milligrams. These achievements show that copying God’s designs in his creatures enables us to build machines to help us fulfill our God-given mandate to manage Earth’s resources for our benefit and the benefit of all life.References: Sawyer Fuller, Zhitao Yu, and Yash P. Talwekar, “A Gyroscope-Free Visual-Inertial Flight Control and Wind Sensing System for 10-mg Robots,” doi:10.1126/scirobotics.abq8184 Leprosy & God’s ProvidenceResearchers have discovered that the mechanisms that M. leprae—the bacterium that causes leprosy—uses to spread within the human host are the same mechanisms that biomedical researchers may one day leverage to regenerate livers and, possibly, other organs. This discovery highlights God’s providential care for humanity.References: Samuel Hess et al., “In vivo Partial Reprogramming by Bacteria Promotes Adult Liver Organ Growth without Fibrosis and Tumorigenesis,” doi:10.1016/j.xcrm.2022.100820Toshihiro Masaki et al., “Reprogramming Adult Schwann Cells to Stem Cell-Like Cells by Leprosy Bacilli Promotes Dissemination of Infection,” doi:10.1016/j.cell.2012.12.014Additional Resources:Fazale Rana, “Viruses and God’s Providence,” https://reasons.org/explore/publications/articles/viruses-and-gods-providenceFazale Rana, “Viruses and God’s Providence Revisited,”https://reasons.org/explore/publications/articles/viruses-and-gods-providence-revisited Help us create even more empowering resources!Support Reasons to Believe at: https://support.reasons.org/donate-now?source=OLYOUTUBEFollow RTB_Official for updates!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RTBofficialTwitter: https://twitter.com/RTB_officialInstagram: http://instagram.com/rtb_officialWebsite: http://www.reasons.org

The Design of ERVs and AI, Optimism, & Long Life | Stars, Cells, and God #ChristianApologetics #ReasonsToBelieve #ScientificMethod #ScientificResearch #MaryPatriotNews [Video]

Join Fazale “Fuz” Rana and Jeff Zweerink as they discuss new discoveries taking place at the frontiers of science that have theological and philosophical implications, including the reality of God’s existence.The Design of ERVs For many people, the shared ERV sequences in the human and great ape genomes evince common ancestry and an evolutionary origin for humanity. Yet, new discoveries about the physiological role of ERVs—such as their contribution to the innate immune system—makes possible another interpretation of ERVs in the human genome. In this episode biochemist Fuz Rana discusses the latest insight into ERV molecular biology, exemplified by the ERV-encoded protein supressyn, and explores the question: “Can a creation model explain the occurrence of ERV sequences in the human genome?”Resources:John A. Frank et al., “Evolution and Antiviral Activity of a Human Protein of Retroviral Origin,” doi:10.1126/science.abq7871Fazale Rana, “Endogenous Retroviruses Help Fight Tumors” https://reasons.org/explore/blogs/the-cells-design/endogenous-retroviruses-help-fight-tumors Fazale Rana, “Endogenous Retroviruses (ERVs) Protect Early-Stage Human Embryos” https://reasons.org/explore/blogs/the-cells-design/endogenous-retroviruses-ervs-protect-early-stage-human-embryos AI, Optimism, and Long Life In an era where AI developments show great potential and great peril, ongoing research indicates that optimism plays an important role in increased longevity and health. These results affirm a repeated refrain from Scripture that we are to rejoice, be content, and have hope in all situations. We will discuss the studies leading to this conclusion as well as make the important biblical connections.Resources:Fabio Urbina et al., “Dual Use of Artificial-Intelligence-Powered Drug Discovery,” https://www.nature.com/articles/s42256-022-00465-9 Hayami K.

Is Nuclear Fusion Feasible? | Stars, Cells, and God #ChristianApologetics #ReasonsToBelieve #ScientificMethod #ScientificResearch #MaryPatriotNews [Video]

Join physicists Drs. Jeff Zweerink and Eric Hedin on Stars, Cells, and God for an informative conversation on the use of nuclear fusion to address our energy needs. A recent nuclear fusion breakthrough at the National Ignition Facility brought this topic to mainstream news. While this breakthrough is a tremendous accomplishment, the news coverage has prompted many questions about the feasibility of someday using nuclear fusion as our primary power source. Hedin and Zweerink discuss the scientific background of the achievement and address the remaining hurdles to using nuclear fusion as a replacement for fossil fuels.
