2009: The Year of Darwin:  Charles Darwin was born on February 12, 1809; and in 1859 he published his first book, On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection: Or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life.  In the world-view of evolutionary thinking, this means that the messiah is 200 years old, and the bible is 150. This also means that we are in for a deluge of information and events attempting to promote the notion of evolution as a fact-based science. 

              There are also a number of other events scheduled to show that there is, indeed, another view-point when it comes to the nature of life, matter, and the Creation of all things.  To stay tuned to these developments, it is probably best to visit this link every so often: Answers For Darwin  If you are able to attend one of these free conferences (West and East Coasts), that would be terrific.  For those of us in Northern California, we can also attend the Answers in Genesis Conference in Modesto on February 1 and 2.

2009: Evolution Evolving?  Joshua Joscelyn and Eric Hovind are celebrating this Year of Darwin by providing us with a brief history of the trends in evolutionary notions.  You will find this synopsis of the five main versions fascinating: Has Evolution Been Evolving?

Geneva:  The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has hit a speed bump of sorts, and is now shut down until further notice.  The $10 billion, 17 mile-round, 300 foot underground particle accelerator near Geneva, Switzerland blew a fuse and operations ceased shortly after its trial run.  Once it is repaired sometime next Spring, the huge machine is designed to send protons flying in opposite directions at nearly the speed of light, then smash them together at 6,000 times a second, trying to determine why mass exists and whether the universe has extra dimensions.

              Before the United States Congress scuttled the program in the 1990s, there was a government-funded plan to construct a similar Super-Collider somewhere in the country.  After realizing that the $6 billion investment was just the initial cost, that it would take more than 3 thousand employees to operate the mammoth facility, and that the machine would devour enough energy to power a large metropolis, panic ensued, and the project was eventually scrapped.
