CIRCADIAN RHYTHM Intrinsically Disordered Proteins (IDPs) are unique because they lack a fixed, rigid shape. Unlike most proteins that rely on a specific 3D structure to function, IDPs remain flexible, acting like molecular "hubs" that can bend and interact with many different partners. This flexibility allows them to play a critical role in regulating circadian rhythms—the internal biological clocks that control sleep and activity cycles. Because IDPs do not need a precise shape, they can absorb many genetic mutations over billions of years without losing their core function. While a mutation in a rigid protein would likely destroy it, an IDP can tolerate these changes as long as its general chemical properties remain the same. This ability to remain functional despite significant sequence drift poses a challenge to traditional neo-Darwinian views, which typically suggest that natural selection must constantly prune such mutations to maintain specific structural integrity. ...

Dr. Richard Gunasekera explores revolutionary frontiers in nanomedicine. We meet at Daphne Public Library Monday June 1 at 3:30cst. Zoom lecture with 30 min Q/A. Drawing from his extensive background in cancer biology and bioactive compounds at Biola University, Gunasekera argues that these molecular breakthroughs reflect both scientific ingenuity and evidence of intelligent design within biological systems. Dr. Richard Gunasekera is a distinguished professor of biological sciences at Biola University. With over three decades of experience in cancer biology, molecular genetics, and nanomedicine, he specializes in bioactive plant compounds and noble metal nanoparticles. A published researcher with numerous peer-reviewed studies, he explores the intersection of advanced biotechnology and intelligent design, investigating both cellular mechanics and divine healing

Matthew 1:1 “This is the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah the son of David, the son of Abraham ” The concept of telescoping genealogies in the Bible posits that the genealogies presented in texts like Genesis 5 are not a comprehensive list of every single individual in a lineage. Instead, they highlight key figures while omitting less significant generations. With lifespans of 900 years this time could be substantial. This idea is advanced by Old Earth Creationists (OECs) to reconcile the biblical timeline with scientific evidence indicating an old earth. Evidence Supporting Telescoping in Genesis 5: Comparison with Other Biblical Genealogies: Other genealogies in the Bible, like those found in Chronicles and Matthew, exhibit clear examples of telescoping. This suggests that such a practice was not uncommon in ancient genealogical records. Hebrew Word "Yalad": The Hebrew word translated as "begat" or "fathered" (yalad) can have a broader meaning, encompass...
