Creation Science Podcast: Radioisotopes, Revelation, and a Younger Earth — A Chat with Dr. Jay Wile

Show Notes- Radioisotopes, Revelation, and a Younger Earth — A Chat with Dr. Jay Wile What’s New in Creation Science News This episode formerly aired as part of the Homeschool Expo. Listen to additional Creation Science Podcast episodes. Every year, new scientific discoveries are made. More often than not, those discoveries have little bearing on the creation/evolution or age-of-the-earth debates. However, every now and then, a new discovery relates to one or both of those controversial topics. In this talk, Dr. Wile discusses the recent scientific discoveries that are directly related to these subjects and shows how they generally support the young-earth creationist view. Meet Dr. Jay Wile Dr. Jay L. Wile is a nuclear chemist and prominent figure in the homeschool community, renowned for his science curricula that integrate a Christian worldview. He holds a Ph.D. in Nuclear Chemistry and a B.S. in Chemistry from the University of Rochester, and has received multiple awards for excellence in teaching. Educational Philosophy Dr. Wile advocates for a chronological approach to teaching science, integrating historical context to enhance understanding. He believes that science and Christianity are complementary, encouraging students to explore scientific concepts as a means to appreciate the intricacies of God’s creation. Personal Background Dr. Wile and his wife, Kathleen, homeschooled their adopted daughter, Dawn, through high school. Their personal experience has informed his commitment to providing quality science education resources for the homeschool community.

Helping Our Kids Have Resiliency with Lisa Nehring (Replay)

Helping Our Kids Have Resiliency “We’re not just raising kids, we’re raising resilient adults. We’re raising spiritual beings.” Join Lisa Nehring on the Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network. Thank you to our Network Sponsor: CTC Math In a world where people easily crumble like delicate snowflakes and take offense at the drop of a hat, it’s high time we pondered this vital question: Are our children truly growing in resiliency? Are they emerging as fearless warriors, fortified with unyielding character and an indomitable spirit? Let me tell you, this remarkable gift of resiliency will serve as their secret weapon in navigating an increasingly secular world. So join me on this resilience adventure as we explore the importance of resilience and why it’s high time we raise a generation of tenacious individuals who can conquer any challenge that comes their way. Trust me, it’ll be one heck of a ride. Get Intentional! In her excellent book, appropriately titled, Grit, Angela Duckworth takes on the task of developing the idea of resilience in our children. She advocates for making resilience development a part of kids’ life skills curriculum. I couldn’t agree more. Our kids need resilience. It’s what allows them to go out and compete, take risks, fail, and try again. Key Ingredients for Developing Resilience Practice– Practice is what lets us learn as we go. To practice and develop well, we must get assessments and feedback. Purpose– Resilience is not always about pursuing those things that we might have a natural inclination toward. Students should consider pursuing something that they can develop an interest in over the long term. Hope– This is tied to trying and failing. Failure is a huge part of developing resilience. We need to teach our kids that success does not come without failure. Winners keep pursuing goals despite setbacks. Time– We need to set aside time to practice with deliberation, fail, and succeed. Create Some Resilience Goals Angela Duckworth has some practical recommendations for bestowing the remarkable gift of resilience to your children: Choose something that requires deliberate daily practice. Commit to doing this activity for 2 years. Finish what you’ve started for a specified interval.

Neuroplasticity – Rewiring The Brain

Neuroplasticity – Rewiring The Brain with Dr. Jan Bedell Podcast #19 Sponsored by NOW Programs. Neuroplasticity and rewiring the brain? Hmm? Do we really have to use such an unfamiliar word?  Yes, to describe the amazing gift that God has given us we can start with a big word and break it down.  It really is quite simple – “neuro” is having to do with the brain and “plasticity” is the ability to change.  Our brains are changing all the time. This is really good news when you have a struggling learner or a child with a label like dyslexia, ADD, ADHD or autism.  The key is knowing how to fuel the brain with the right kind of stimulation so it builds new pathways.  From these new pathways, the brain can receive, organize, process and store information well enough to bring it out and use it in everyday life.  With the right kind of stimulation, your brain can take little developmental steps to achieve giant strides in academics and overall function.  That is what happens when you use the products and services of Little Giant Steps. In this episode, you will hear the experience of a teacher that had taught first grade for 17 years before using The NeuroDevelopmental Approach in her classroom in year 18. It made a huge difference for her students and can make a difference for you and your family as well.  Applying just a little information can make all the difference in your child’s future.  We shouldn’t leave out the adults either!  It is never too late to change the brain.  Two ladies in their 50’s, one a reading tutor and the other a Montessori teacher who had always struggled with reading comprehension, raised their reading comprehension score by 3 ½ years in only four months’ time.   And guess what? They didn’t do any specific reading program.  All it took was organization and specific stimulation to the brain and their abilities radically changed.   Visit our sponsor Little Giant Steps for information about Free auditory processing kit – here Help for math facts – here Brain boosting products – here The post Neuroplasticity – Rewiring The Brain appeared first on Ultimate Homeschool Podcast Network.

Many times I’ve discussed the purpose of having a creationist perspective, and people would say, “Why do you care?” The reason I care is that I want my children to grow up with a Christian worldview and share that with their children, someday. In the writing of my Truth Seekers Mystery Series book, I had a “God-incident” that I share in this episode. In a nutshell, I was rushed during the Christmas season and wanted nothing to do with the rereading of the draft copy of one of the novels. You see, as a novelist, and co-novelist at the (along with my then, college-aged daughter, Christina), I was the one in charge of final proofreading and I kept finding mistakes. I was frustrated. I threw up a heavenward prayer, “God are you sure you have the right person doing this job?” And, I wasn’t talking about the job of editing, I was talking about the job of being the “hands and feet” of God – spreading the word about the fallacies of evolutionary claims. Which these novels demonstrate in a fun-easy to read and mystery adventure. More about the TruthSeekersMysterySeries.com here. Heading to a store to do last minute shopping, I happened upon a calling card placed in a nativity scene I was about to purchase. (The audio includes details about this, but here is the visual — a copy of the card: Listen to the podcast for the rest of the story!
