Institute for Creation Research

The debate to be evaluated at hand is one that included two renown figures who are well respected in their fields of study. Involved in this meticulous debate was the mechanical engineer and science educator Dr. Bill Nye, along with Christian fundamentalist and young earth creationist Dr. Ken Ham. Dr. Ham believes that creation is a viable model of origins in today’s modern scientific era. Young earth creationist and professor of Biomimetic and Engineering at University of Bristol Stuart Burgess is renowned for his innovative ideas, which has led to some of his spacecraft being launched by ESA and NASA. Burgess extended his support of Dr. Ham via video stating that he “Fully believes that scientific evidence best supports creationism as the…

veteran that became a biotechnology icon (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2003). His works have contributed enormously to biotechnology. His contributions include: Celera’s Human Genome Project, the creation of the first synthetic genome, and Synthetic Genomics, by which he proves that biotechnological breakthroughs can be accomplished in the private sector of research. Not only did his own work…

According Patent Act 1983, not all inventions are patentable. Even some invention fulfill all the criteria stated, it is still exceptions. A ‘human embryo’ within the meaning from Union law is any human ovum after fertilization or any human ovum not fertilized but through the effect of the technique used to obtain it, is capable of commencing the process of development of a human being. The European Court of Justice recently declared the procedures that involve human embryonic stem cells cannot…

with the idea of germline modifications of embryos, U.S congress passed a bill in 2015 which prohibits the FDA (food and drug administration) to approve any clinical trials for the creation of GM embryos (Opposing Viewpoints Online Collection, 2017) (Center for Genetics and Society, 2015). This suggests that the government knows certain ethical risks associated with this technology that it became important to pass a bill. Not only this, but it also means that germline modification and science…

1. Background The National Institutes of Health created a number of programs to increase diversity in research workforce (Ginther, 2011). The creation of these programs allowed for minority scientists to receive additional mentoring support to become competitive for NIH R01 funding. Yet, NIH failed to determine the effectiveness of these programs, impacting the priority scores of these grant applications and the awarding of grants to the scientific teams lead by Black researchers (Ginther,…

Institute’s web site, there is an article entitled "Economic research supports raising the minimum wage.", written by Mr. Ross Eisenbrey, a former commissioner of the U. S. Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission and is presently the vice president of the Economic Policy Institute (2012). The Economic Policy Institute is an American based non-profit intellectual thought and data analysis processing center, head quartered in Washington, D. C. for the past decade. The Institute has…

Impact of the IOM Future of Nursing Report on Oregon and the Nation The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) in 2008, proposed a joint partnership with the Institute of Medicine (IOM) began to investigate the nursing profession and the impending need for transformation in light of a reforming healthcare system and increasing nursing shortage (Institute of Medicine [IOM], 2011). So a two-year initiative committee was founded and the work began. The initiative, which the committee was charged…

If the embryo is a human person, killing it to benefit others is a clear-cut evil. It treats a distinct human being, with his or her own inherent moral worth, as nothing more than a disposable instrument to be used for someone else’s benefit.” (“Ten Problems with Embryonic Stem Cell Research.”). This quote explains everything that is wrong with stem cell research. Killing not born babies yet to make another baby immune to one virus. So for every embryo they kill they make a few embryos immune to…

Ghost Hearts Doris A. Taylor, inventor/creator of the ghost hearts constantly harvest organs from the newly dead by re-engineering them. Doris is the director of the regenerative Medicine Research for the center of Cell and Organ Biotechnology at the Texas Heart Institute. Dr. Taylor worked on methods of decellularization and in 2008 she perfected the method. Decellularization is taking all the cells out of the organ leaving it with the lipids, sugar, and proteins. Ghost heart or a ghost-like…

the emergence of human life hangs on the lips of many, in which evolution and faith intersect. Numerous theologians, philosophers, and scientists have put forth proposals and taken center stage on debate platforms, for the sake of persuasion over these topics. Charles Darwin is an infamous example, as he theorized on the inklings of the formation of life on Earth. Whether or not someone adopts a faith-based mindset, science is part of God’s creation, with major differences lying in the creation…
