RSF: Fruit flies have gyroscope function

This is the show from Friday October 22nd, 2010.

BEST QUOTE OF THE SHOW:
This is an example where evolution severely impeded scientific progress. They misrepresent the truth constantly and they say without evolution we couldn’t learn anything in biology. Well, it turns out that because of their evolutionary bias, they spent many years ignoring what they didn’t understand because they wanted to believe [in “junk DNA”] and now so far they have found 23,000 regions where they believe these are regulatory regions in the so-called “junk.”

SUMMARY:

* Junk like Enzymes and Gyros: Co-hosts Fred Williams with Creation Research Society, and Bob Enyart on this episode of Real Science Friday draw from listener email, Creation Matters, and the latest issue of Creation magazine to discuss:
- Genetic studies that find 23,000 regulatory regions within "junk DNA" Ha!
- Discover magazine astronomer blogger, Phil Plait, who was unfair to Bob and Fred :(
- Dogs sniffing through each nostril independently, and that's one reason why they're such good trackers
- Biblical creationist enzyme expert Dr. Matti Leisola who is cited 1,300 times in the scientific literature
- Fruit flies recover from wind disturbances by returning to their original heading in a tenth of a second

* Special Editions of Real Science Friday:
- BEL's famous List of Not-So-Old Things
- Bob's debate with Christian Darwinist British author James Hannam

(See a BEL listener who initially compared Bob to Benny Hinn until...) The BEL show was on 12-11-08;
- Michael Shermer, an editor with Scientific American and the Skeptic Society who in in this famous 73-second excerpt on BEL denied that the sun is a light, illustrating that it's tough debating atheists when they're hesitant to admit to even the most obvious common ground. 8-28-03
