The Age of the Universe - Time Scales - Einstein's Relativity . . .
The following quote from creationary astrophysicist Dr. John Hartnett demonstrates the wonderful way science magnifies the accuracy of God's Word in Genesis:
"The simplest way to calculate the age of the universe, within the Big Bang worldview, is to wind its expansion back to zero. This is called the 'Hubble Age' because it is the inverse of the Hubble expansion constant. The best current estimate is 15 billion years, with an uncertainty of +/- 2 billion years."
". . . . While we do not accept all the assumptions that underlie these figures, there is no doubt that distance alone, plus a constant speed of light, yields a light-transit time far in excess of the biblical time scale, so we do accept the idea of an "old" cosmos within its own frame of reference, but the entire universe is young in earth-clock terms."
"Time dilation models can explain . . . . light from those distant galaxies took billions of years of galaxy time to reach earth, but the light that arrived here on creation day 4 (of earth-time, having traveled billions of years in galaxy-time) was the first light emitted from the newly created galaxies. So Adam and Eve would have been able to view them (had they been able to see them through a modern telescope) in their created positions. We today are seeing them 6,000 years after their creations as measured by earth clocks (even though the light took billions of years as measured by galaxy clocks to get here)."
[emphasis added]
Dismantling the Big Bang: God's Universe Rediscovered, pp. 199-201, by John Hartnett, PhD (astrophysics - University of Western Australia)
- See also Starlight, Time, and the New Physics, by Dr. Hartnett, in which he expands mathematically on the models of Einstein and Carmeli to answer many of the past problems associated with both the big bang and creation models.
- See also the article by Dr. Mark Harwood entitled, "How can distant starlight reach us in just 6,000 years?". Dr. Harwood's research has focused around the development and use of radiotelescopes.
Please remember that:
- Einstein showed time is a real property of the universe . . .
- Time is relative and actually changes due to gravity, velocity . . .
- Einstein's theories have been expanded by Carmeli, Harnett . . .
- The universe expanded (God "stretched out the heavens")
- Its age literally depends on your space/time perspective . . .
- So a relatively young universe can be billions of light-years in size.

The article by my friend Dr. Wieland is an excellent expose regarding the insidious and powerful messages being fed to our children through movies, TV, video games, etc. Remember that we are social creatures that unconsciously absorb ideas, attitudes, and habit patterns from those around us - so much more from the powerful medium of video.

BIO-MATH Synergy:
Please beware of its limitations . . .
In both psychology and biology, the non-physical “nephesh/psyche” (soul and its relationships) cannot be quantified like tangible, physical variables. Therefore, understanding the nephesh of a person or an animal requires intimate, relational knowledge of that particular species and even more, that individual creature.
The failure to take this crucial fact into account has historically led to reductionistic conclusions resulting in horrors like vivisection, abusive experimentation, macroevolutionary racism, and many other inhumane beliefs and policies.
In this course, we will work toward the mastery of methods that are vital to research, involving the integration of biology and mathematics, such as:
* SI Units / Conversions
* Scientific Notation / Calculations
* Genetic Probabilities, especially population genetics.
* Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium
* Chi-Square Hypothesis Testing
* "Mendel's Accountant" Computer Simulation
* Genetic Probabilities, especially population genetics using the computer program, "MENDEL'S ACCOUNTANT" developed by John Sanford PhD of Cornell, John Baumgardner PhD of Los Alamos, et al, showing the improbability of the belief that mutations as a mechanism could produce sufficient new DNA information to produce new "kinds" of organisms.

RECOMMENDED BOOK: Genetic Entropy & The Mystery of the Genome
Dr. John Sanford, Professor of genetics at Cornell University for 25 years.
Author of the book, Genetic Entropy & The Mystery of the Genome, 2005
Over 70 scientific publications & over 25 patents.
[His book demonstrates the statistical & scientific impossibility of the claim that mutations are a mechanism that could have created new genetic information to make new kinds of creatures.]
“Modern Darwinism is . . . . that man is merely the product of random mutations plus natural selection. . . . . It is for this reason that the overwhelming majority of youth who start out with a belief that there is more to life than mere chemistry – will lose their faith while at college. I believe this is also the cause of the widespread self-destructive and self-denigrating behaviors we see throughout our culture.”

"MODERN BIOLOGY" Text Content Disclaimer:
This textbook, like all human works, is not perfect. It contains some material that is out of date and some that has been proven wrong. Also, since it is not a “Christian” text it also contains worldview statements, especially regarding philosophy of life and historical science that are inconsistent with a biblical worldview. Most people do not realize that “science” is not as objective as some scientists proclaim it to be. Some, even some non-Christian scientists, admit the fact that “scientific” claims are often just traditional beliefs held to by the current majority.
As warned by John Mattick, PhD, professor of molecular biology at the University of Queensland and director of the Institute for Molecular Bioscience. “The Hidden Genetic Program of Complex Organisms”, Scientific American, October 2004, p. 61:
“Assumptions can be dangerous, especially in science. They usually start as the most plausible or comfortable interpretation of the available facts. But when their truth cannot be immediately tested and their flaws are not obvious, assumptions often graduate to articles of faith, and new observations are forced to fit them. Eventually, if the volume of troublesome information becomes unsustainable, the orthodoxy must collapse.”
Since the text is a secular, non-Christian work that is saturated with non-theistic, and insufficiently substantiated macroevolutionary hypotheses, it provides the opportunity to apply analytical, critical, bio-logical thinking skills as we compare how scientific evidences best fit a model of theistic/biblical creation. Also, textbook publishers compete with one another to sell books to state schools, so the books are getting bigger, heavier, and overloaded with unnecessarily distracting boxes, sidebars, charts, etc. Therefore, I have outlined and summarized the textbooks into Word (.doc) and PowerPoint (.ppt) documents and put them online for more efficient study, along with updated, supplementary materials.
Recommended DVD - "HOW TEXTBOOKS MISLEAD", by Dr Don Batten
“Facts” are not neutral —
and neither is education.
"Do you know what your children learn in school? Dr Don Batten investigates the evolutionary teaching in a typical biology text used in senior high school. The textbook uses many deceitful, out-of-date and even fraudulent arguments to indoctrinate students in evolution (everything made itself without a Creator). Be prepared to equip our youth with answers!"

UNPROTECTED: A Campus Psychiatrist Reveals How Political Correctness
Book Review -
"Here are important facts you must know about well-intentioned counselors who are more committed to political correctness than to students’ physical and psychological safety—written clearly and passionately by a dedicated psychiatrist. This book tells all. -- Nicholas A. Cummings, Ph.D., Sc.D., Former President, American Psychological Association; Distinguished Professor, University of Nevada, Reno; President, Cummings Foundation for Behavioral Health.
"This book is a thunderous call for a truly honest discussion in society, but more importantly, between college-bound students and their parents. It is one of the few books I have read that can be a light on the path to health for our society that is, in certain areas, the university in particular, very sick. It is an absolute must read. -- Joe S. McIlhaney, M.D.
"This is a punch-in-the-gut powerhouse of a book by a very brave clinician. The message is provocative and profound. . . . I wish others had the guts to speak out in a similar fashion. -- Cal Colarusso, M.D., Training and Supervising Analyst, San Diego Psychoanalytic Institute
Hooked: New Science on How Casual Sex is Affecting Our Children (Hardcover), M.D. Joe S. McIlhaney Jr, M.D. Freda Bush
DR. JOE S. MCILHANEY is a board-certified obstetrician gynecologist who resides in Austin, Texas, with his wife, Marion. In 1995, he left his private practice of 28 years to devote his full-time attention to working with the Medical Institute for Sexual Health, a nonprofit medical educational research organization he established in 1992.
DR. FREDA BUSH is a board-certified obstetrician gynecologist and a partner in private practice with East Lakeland OB-GYN Associates in Jackson, Mississippi.
Publisher's Description: "Society tells us that sex is an act of self-expression, a personal choice .... Millions of American teenagers and young adults are finding that the psychological baggage of such behavior is having a real and lasting impact on their lives. They are discovering that “hooking up” is the easy part, but “unhooking” from the bonds of a sexual relationship can have serious consequences. A practical look into new scientific research showing how sexual activity causes the release of brain chemicals which then result in emotional bonding and a powerful desire to repeat the activity. This book will help parents and singles understand that “safe sex” isn't safe at all; that even if they are protected against STD's and pregnancy, they are still hurting themselves and their partner."

Basic Study Motive:
Gratitude to God. Sacrificing the desires of self for the needs of others, instead of sacrificing the needs of others for the desires of self.
Critical (Logikos) Thinking Principles:
Don't believe anything, even what I say,
unless the evidence makes it worthy of your trust.
"Faith is the . . . evidence of things not seen." (Heb 11:1)
Bio-Logic (Discernment): Practicing analytical, logical, critical thinking skills
HOMEWORK Expectations:
As soon as you are given notes, study guides, handouts of any kind, you are responsible to set a personal study schedule and begin studying them ASAP. I recommend you use my instructions/article on:
"How and Why to Create a Condensed Memory OUTLINE".
Please remember, you're not elementary students anymore, so we won't be spoon-feeding, or given constant teacher-generated busy work to do at home. Some courses, like Math and Chemistry, require a lot of "practice" problems homework. In contrast, a large part of Biology/Life Science requires the memorization of many terms/concepts along with learning to think Bio - logically (Greek = logikos).
I'll carefully teach through ALL of the material using PowerPoint Presentations, Areopagus Class Dialogue (see Acts 17), "Living LABS", etc. Your job is to highlight terms, concepts, and processes that I tell you are important, especially those that will be re-tested throughout the year. Much of this course requires comprehensive knowledge and cumulative testing. So, beware. Do NOT just cram before assessments. Crammed material does not go into long-term memory and therefore cumulative material will catch up with you as the year unfolds!
You are expected to schedule your time throughout each unit to:
- read and understand the concepts taught
- outline / condense notes to manageable segments with memory cues
- memorize your outlines well
- meditate & question the meaning & implications of everything
- apply rational faith (evidential belief) to those things that deserve it
* Never believe without sufficient evidence (critical thinking / bio-logic) Proverbs 14:15; Hebrews 11:1
THINK: Why have 1,000's of PhD scientists rejected macroevolution?
- They include the inventor of the MRI & professors at major universities.
- Yet, PBS, National Geographic, & Scientific American claim there are none.
- If new evidence has convinced 1,000's, then shouldn't you find out why?
- Take a look for yourself. (Here are a few lists: AiG, ICR, CMI, CRS)
What kind of "god" is portrayed by theistic evolution?
- "Survival of the fittest" depends upon pain, fear, suffering, & death.
- In contrast, the God of the Bible is the Good Shepherd who made Eden.
- Theistic evolution is a belief that blasphemes God by making Him a monster.
Why is the character of our Creator the cornerstone of counseling?
- The foundation for consistent peace/joy/unselfish love must be trust in God.
- Believing God desired & designed disease & death does not lead to trust.
- Good News: Willful sin, Satan, & selfishness are the cause, not God.

Approximate Dates: Sept 1 - Sept
Supplemental sources from renowned scientists who are biblical Christians have been integrated into this unit. FOR EXAMPLE:
Dr. John Baumgardner is one of the top geophysicists in the world, having worked at the famous Los Alamos Nat'l Labs.
(He was called by U.S. News & World Report, the "preeminent" expert in geophysical supercomputer modeling).
- Website (Global Flood)
- DVD Presentations
* "Models, Genes, and Global Warming"
* "Planetary Cataclysm"
.
- Dr. John Sanford is one of the top genetics researchers in the world, working at Cornell University.
(Dr. Sanford has developed over 25 patented inventions for genetics research, including the famous Biolistic Gene Gun.)
DVD Presentations
* "How Evolution Hurts Science"
* "The Mystery of Our Declining Genes"
. 
** Please remember that typical "biology" classes are required to spend about 20-25% of the time focused on Historical/Origins science. We will utilize about 15-20% of our time focused on this area. Most courses merely present the neo-Darwinian hypotheses that are actually rejected by thousands of respected scientists. In our course, however, we will carefully examine and contrast both the macroevolutionary hypotheses of neo-Darwinism, plus the hypotheses presented by the thousands of scientists who now disagree with macroevolutionary beliefs. Above all, the students are taught to use logikos, critical, analytical thinking which is both scientific and scriptural. They are encouraged to only believe those concepts that have sufficient evidence to make them worthy of their trust and action.
Watch what happens when the famous evolutionist, Dr. Dawkins, is asked to provide one single example of a genetic mutation or evolutionary process that increases the information in the genome.
(To view this you must have on your PC Macromedia Flash Player.)
A COMMON QUESTION OFTEN ASKED OF ME:
Do I reject macroevolution (vertical change into new kinds by mutations) as well as the belief that the earth is billions of years old?
MY ANSWER: I believe only what is sufficiently supported by the best objective evidence, logically evaluated. I believe the same thing about macroevolution and the age of the earth that 1,000's of world respected scientists believe, including for example the inventor of the MRI believes (Dr. Raymond Damadian), the top geophysicist working with supercomputers on the earth's geological history Dr. John Baumgardner of Los Alamos National Laboratories, the inventor of the Biolistic Gene Gun at Cornell University Dr. John Sanford, etc.
Yes, these 1,000's of scientists reject macroevolution and the belief that the earth is billions of years old. I encourage you to study the new evidence that has led these brilliant individuals to this conclusion.

but it might just be a thread.
- Christian revivals turned corrupt medieval Europe to a culture of compassion.
- Germany, the most educated and technologically advanced culture of its time, turned into a culture of survival of the cruelest.
Not all SCIENCE is the same.
Various scientific efforts fit on a continuum from DIRECT to INDIRECT:

"'. . . Modern bones that fall into mineral springs can become permineralized [fossilized] within a matter of weeks."'
‘"Bones do not have to be “turned into stone” to be fossils, and usually most of the original bone is still present in a dinosaur fossil. ‘A more spectacular example was found on the North Slope of Alaska, where many thousands of bones lack any significant degree of permineralization. The bones look and feel like old cow bones, and the discoverers of the site did not report it for twenty years because they assumed they were bison, not dinosaur, bones.’"
Mary Schweitzer & Tracy Staedter,
‘The Real Jurassic Park,’ Earth, June 1997, pp. 55–57.
'A thin slice of T. rex bone glowed amber beneath the lens of my microscope. Blood vessel channels snaked through a bone matrix, and tiny chambers known as lacunae, which house bone-forming cells, appeared as small ovals.… The lab filled with murmurs of amazement, for I had focused on something inside the vessels that none of us had ever noticed before: tiny round objects, translucent red with a dark center…. ‘Then a colleague took one look at them and shouted, “You’ve got red blood cells. You’ve got red blood cells!”

Mr. Galloway's Digital Microscopy QX5
- Where to get a QX5 and why you'll love it
- What you can do with it and how to use it
- Photos / video clips of class digital labs
Spiritual Analogy & Application: Elodea’s common name is “Anacharis” meaning “increased GRACE / GIFT (charis)” in Greek. Just as our Creator God gave plants to continually provide life-giving air (oxygen) to His nephesh (thinking / feeling) creatures, God has also given us the Holy Spirit as the source of new, eternal life through the second birth spiritually when a person is “born-again”. By the way, the New Testament Greek word for spirit is pneuma, which means air or wind. Therefore, without the new, spiritual, second birth, no person can have eternal life. Jesus said the choice is yours (John 3). The Good News (Gospel) is that Jesus did all the work necessary for us, through His sinless life, sacrificial death, and resurrection. None of our tainted “good” works are of any value to earn or buy eternal life.

To study for your exam, you should:
1. Complete the Exam Study Guide thoroughly
2. Use your past completed unit study guides, PPT Notes, Doc Notes, etc.
3. Since I have all of your notes available in digital form on my website at your science webpage, you can pull up on your PC any set of notes and use the "FIND" option (Control - F) to locate any term, concept, etc, in that set of notes.
4. You can use your textbook that you have kept at home, since 90% of the notes and power points I created for you came from the text.
5. You can also find animations for visual understanding of many concepts linked on my science webpage and countless more through Google for any concept.
6. You will not need your past tests, since the exam questions will be different. Every year, I keep all "tests" protected in a locked cabinet so that students cannot pass them on to the next year's classes.
7. Last but not least, prayerfully trust God to help you as you in turn are diligent to make "outline/memory" cards, then memorize repeatedly, then practice writing answers to mock questions about concepts or relationships.
I'll be praying for all of you as you study.
Just a sheepdog of the Good Shepherd,

1 = 100% of alleles in the population, when the fractions are converted to %
p = frequency of the dominant allele in the population (Ex = A)
q = frequency of the recessive allele in the population (Ex = a)
p2 = percentage of homozygous dominant individuals (Ex = AA)
q2 = percentage of homozygous recessive individuals (Ex = aa)
2pq = percentage of heterozygous individuals (Ex = Aa)
[Genotype frequencies: AA = p2, aa = q2, Aa = 2pq]

Sid Galloway, BS, M.Div. - Just an old sheepdog of the Good Shepherd
..
Our rescued Owl, Jasper / & Squirrel, Zoe / & Deer Fawn
(More pics / videos on Mr. Galloway's Facebook - ask your parents)
The owl was hit by a car & had severe head injury - but was rehabbed & released. The deer was also hit in the head & partially paralyzed (temporarily we hope). It was transferred to a veterinarian for X-rays, IV fluids, and medication. Zoe was born deformed with no tail and only 3 feet. She will live with us for life :-)
