where does that come from if the universe is here by natural processes? christianity and science, the bible and science go hand and hand. we love science. but then again, you gotta understand, inventing things that's very different than talking about our origins. two very different things. >> do you believe the entire bible is to be taken literally? for example, should people who touch pig's skin be stoned? can men marry multiple women? >> do i believe the entire should be taken literally? well, remember in my opening address, i said we have to define our terms. so when people are asked that question say literally, i have to know what that person meant by literally. now, i would say this, if you say naturally and that's what you mean by literally, i would say yes i take the bible naturally. what do i mean by that? well, if it's history as genesis is, it's written in typical historical narrative, you take it as history. if it's a poetry as we find in the psalms then you take it as poetry. it doesn't mean it doesn't teach truth but it's not a cosmological ac

the universe is accelerating. these are all provable facts that there was a flat 4000 years ago is not provable. the evidence for me at least is a reasonable man is overwhelming that it couldn't possibly have happened. there is no evidence for it. furthermore, mr. ham, you never quite addressed this issue with the schools. there are many, many in what appears to be the creation or the coming into being of you and me and those steps -- >> by this time. >> i just want people to understand, the age of the year thing about four and a half years coming to earth rock was dated. dedicated media rights and because they assumed meteorites, this image of the earth and the formation of the solar system. people think they did rock semiarid cover earth of a foreign half billion years. that's just not true. the other point i was and i put the site back up because i have it here. i said at the end of my first rebel time there's hundreds of physical processes. here's the point. every dating method involves a change with time. ther

the rest of the universe. even background radiation. 15 billion years, they can only get it about half way and that is why they have inflation theories which means everyone has a problem concerning the light issue. people do not understand that we have some models on our website to help explain those sorts of things. >> your counter rebuttal. >> i am completely unsatisfied. you did not in my view address fundamental questions. 680,000 years of snow ice layers which require winter-summer cycles for let's say you have 2000 kinds instead of seven, that makes the problem even more extraordinary. multiplying 11 by 3.5. we get to 35, 40 species every day that we do not see. they are not extent. we are losing species due to mostly human activity and loss of habitat. as far as noah being an extraordinary shipwright, my family spend their whole life learning to make ships. it is very reasonable perhaps to you that noah had superpowers and was able to build this extraordinary craft with seven family members but to me it

tell us why the universe is accelerating. tell us why these mothers were getting sick and we'll find an explanation for it. the idea that the majority has sway in science is true only up to a point and then the other thing i just want to point out, what you may have missed in evolutionary explanations of life is the mechanism by which we add complexity. the earth is getting energy from the sun all the time. and that energy is used to make lifeforms somewhat more complex. >> how did consciousness come from matter? >> i don't know. this is a great mystery. a dear friend of mine is a neurologist. she studies the nature of consciousness. now i will say i used to embrace a joke about dogs. i love dogs, who doesn't. and you can say this guy remarked "i've never seen a dog paralyzed by self-doubt." actually, i have. furthermore, the thing that we celebrate. there are three sundials on the planet mars that bear an inscription to the future. to those who visit here, we wish you safe journey and the joy of discovery. it's inherently opt

we will speak with the author of the human rights watch report jeremy scahill. in a university of california scientist tyrone hayes learned a possible herbicide may have harmful effects on the endocrine system. when he tried to publish the results, the company that makes a chemical try to discredit his work. >> we were surprised that when we exposed rocks to low levels of atrazine, it produced animals that look like this. two testes, ovaries, more testes, and another set of ovaries. >> then we look at the shadow lobbying complex. all that and more, coming up. welcome to democracy now!, democracynow.org, the war and peace report. i'm amy goodman. ukraine's president viktor yanukovych announced concessions to his pro-european opponents, including plans to hold elections, but it is not clear whether the opposition will affect the deal -- except the deal. the deal. u.n. general secretary ban ki-moon condemned the use of force. i call on all involved to seize violence and for ukrainian authorities to refrain from excessive use of force. i am appalled by the use of firearms by both t

the university. they say that they are students first and foremost. therefore they are saying that is why they're not eligible to unionize. the whole issue is before a labor examiner right now. who will decide if the athletes will be able to unionized or not. >> it is the beginning of the end. college athletes are going to be >> north boston university believes the players who have brought this petition are in fact students first and foremost and are not employees. >> it is the age-old struggle of workers' rights in this case student-athletes versus management. 85 members of the football team have signed cards that they are hoping to form a union. school officials oppose the action saying the players are students and not the employees. therefore they are not eligible to unionize. >> can be an employee of the university and be a student. the football program takes time from these athletes that is what they are devoted to. the fact that there also students means they're not entitled to the protections o

they were adhered to by the university. and that kind of for me begs the question, if all the rules were adhered to and this still went on for this long, there's something wrong, there's a problem. the task force which i chair, the purpose is to look at this fact finding report and then to see what recommendations there are to be made so the university, to implement to see that this never happens again and what lessons we can learn from this. >> so you will be looking at, why is it that this student didn't feel there was someone or a group that he could come forward and talk to. what else will you be looking at? >> what's the training of those who lived on the floor, the resident advisers, students who work as quasi staff, and those who supervise the resident advisers, where were they? when that confederate flag was up in the window and they were told to take it down and they were and there were no further inquiries, that is problematic? it turns out many, many times individuals from staff had to go to that suite to deal wit

in books with such titles as freefall of the american university, and tenured radicals, critics chargehe american higher education has become the place a liberal if not radical faculties, and that in the classrooms of the politicized university, middle of the road students complacently consume their professors misinformation. moderate students are smug -- liberal students are smug and feeling that they're on the righteous side of politics, and conserve students have to decide whether to endorse their professors high rates while they are voiced their outrage corroding the risk of sacrificing their grades. to mitigate the effects of the leftist campus, while the conservatives organizations have been put in place at david horowitz has introduced the academic bill of rights to legally protect students from liberal orthodoxy while others like the young america's foundation sponsor conferences that -- celebrity in the movement. the clare boothe luce policy institute is targeted to college women while intellectual organizations like the intercollegiate studies institute started by william f.

carl smith, who teaches conomics at the university of north north carolina says taxes make me poorer d hen people are poorer, they work more for the things they want, therefore taxes should mak me work harder. >> when you tax something, yo get less of it. if you tax work, there's less of it. same for investment in business. this is why in countries with high taxes like the united states, you see slow growth and slow job creation. john: can you believe economic professorteach this stuff? >> i wonder if professor smith would double his teaching load if unc chopped the salary in half. i bet not. [laughter] john: there's a credit crisis, regulate the banks. you ttified that dodd-frank is the cure. >> dodd-frank was passed in response to the financial crisis to protect consumers, but what we are seeing in practice is that consumers are having lss access to credit and savings, and bank fees at record highs, and 3 million people shut out of the banking system. it's a law of unintended consequences. john: as americans, we should buy america. >> buying from foreign, we get goods at lower prces

i study economics at the university of albany. my question to you guys is that when you are talking about income inequality, how do you find the most effective way to relay to people that it is government that is responsible for creating the disparity in the first place? [ applause ] >> some people are smarter than others. some people are born with a silver spoon. >> i thidon't doubt in some mars people prosper more income-wise. what i like to point sought one of the benefits of free market is while it may increase from time to time income inequality it decreases -- inequality. rich people today do not consume much more than poor people today. in america, the -- difference between what poor people consume and rich people consume is shrinking ever and ever -- getting a lot closer. >> you brought this catalog along to make a point about that. >> yes. typical american workers back then had to work 30 hours to buy this vacuum cleaner. today an american worker has to work six hours to buy a much better vacuum. >> my name is sebastian to

"the washington post" had a chart and a pick the top universities in the country and how much it cost for a student to go. i l

freefall of the university and tenered radical book tights, they are claiming higher education and liberal, if not radical, factory and middle of the road students misunderstand -- i am sorry, liberal students are smug and feeling they are on the right and conservative students have to decide if they will voice their outrage or listen to the tirade. and well-found organizations have been put in place. the academic bill of rights to legally protect students and we have the american legal foundation as well. the claire booth policy institute is targeted to women and the federalist society or humane studies at george mason university provide internships for budding conservatives. and the list goes on with the support of foundations with many familiar names. while this movement to build a core of young, dependable lawyers, journalist, congressional staff and voters has been a priority of the right and few scientist are study how to mobilize them. we don't know much about the students. how and when did they become conservative. what issues do they care about? who do they know in the larger worl

well because the universities the young people in the universities is where the. united states has chosen to promote this kind of extremist groups we expelled from our country to three u.s. diplomats because of their involvement in the training and organization and financing of this extreme groups and used the university they are there for. their place to gather jihad evidence about those three u.s. diplomats that they're actually doing that. well yes that's why we our government expelled them we counter-intelligence plenty of counter-intelligence over their activities and a lot of support to shows how they were involved in this kind of organization of these extremist groups so the students are on the streets are they mostly from private universities or public ones there or does it even matter is there a difference. again it is. that people who are protesting are not only students right now i mean we find by the people who have been detained. certainly young people but. there are many that are related to this extreme groups. ought for for example you know all thes

it was about three weeks into my freshman year, at the university of iowa. ent some nights, the night with some friends and ended up back at a friend's dorm room. it was on another part of campus, i was pretty far away, actually, and a young man attempted to rape me on a dorm room floor my freshman year. >> did anything happen to him? >> no, unfortunately i was not strong enough at the time to report it to anybody at the university or anyone, for that matter. >> can you explain how difficult it is to report a crime like this, and why there needs to be programs in place to allow women to do that? imented at. >> at the time i don't think it crossed my mind. it's strange for me to say as a 37-year-old mother. it kills me to think about, but i was so nervous i did not know where to push. i had only been at the university for three weeks. i had no idea if there was a place on campus to go to. i was afraid of getting my friends in trouble. i was afraid of myself getting in trouble. i was a young woman on campus doing things i shouldn't have been doing. i just - i h

investigators obtained security video from the university of rochester campus and from all the major highways and toll booths in between the porcos' home and the campus. they screened all of it looking for christopher's yellow jeep. >> the average person is videotaped 18 to 22 times a day. so there's a tremendous amount of media that's available to the law enforcement. >> at 10:30 p.m., they saw a yellow jeep leaving the university campus. the security alarm at the porcos' home was deactivated a little more than 3 1/2 hours later at 2:14 a.m. the porcos' phone line was cut at 4:59 a.m., and the same yellow jeep returned to the campus 3 1/2 hours later at 8:30 in the morning. the timeline fit perfectly, but was this christopher's jeep? >> there are actually more yellow jeeps than you might imagine. in the state of new york there are thousands of yellow jeeps. >> video analyst james kennedy ran the security camera images through a computer filter. kennedy found specific details on the jeep like mud on the passenger's side door. the passenger's side window had a torn parking sticker, an

the show. >> university professors with masters and ph.d.'s not the typical example of someone struggling to pay bills or put food on the table. a event report from congress found most adjunct or nontenure track professors are making a median salary of 22,000 which is about what a fast food worker makes. >> some of the obstacles i face as an adjunct professor is compensation. i make below the poverty line living in california. teaching full time course load. and because of this the financial difficulties i'm unable to pay rent on my own. so i'm forced to live at home with my parents. there was a time when i had office space. i don't really have that anymore. and so now i just kind of have fallen back on coffee shop a couple of blocks up the street. >> i teach three different universities. i spend about 13 hours every week in the car. and i could be using that time to you know, to spend time with my students. >> and of course the instructors are not the only ones affected. 98% of respondents from the same report said they missed opportunities

so i'd be very surprised if the university did not come out in support of a ballot measure. probably won't be on the ballot until november 2016. >> another ballot measure that people have been talking about and that san jose mayor was hoping to get on this year's ballot, 2014, regarding pension reform. it seems like there's now a bump with that. what's happening? >> they got cleared to begin collecting signatures. in order to do that, the attorney general puts its title summary on and ballot title. they don't like what she did. they don't like the title summary. they think it's inadequate, slightly skewed i think toward the union point of view which would not be favorable to their measure. so they're going to file a lawsuit, probably next week, challenging the language of the title and summary. that's going to take a few weeks. so it cuts off time they would need to collect signatures and time to get on it the ballot for this november. so more likely it would be on in 2016. which isn't good for them because it would be a presidential year, a much bigger turnout. >> speaking

the report found the university for the most part followed university procedures and policies. >> i think if the university claims all procedures were followed, i feel the procedures are poor. >> reporter: it found while the alleged bullying was going on for months, one reason it took so long to come to light is because a task force didn't review it. they will review the report and make recommendations for change. >> one of the issues we'll look at is environment on the campus and to see if there is anything that can be done to encourage individuals who are the subject of this kind of abuse or alleged abuse in this case, that could enable them to come forward. >> reporter: the university president welcomes the recommendations. >> at the end of the day we'll have a process and changes that will be real, changes that everyone will have a chance to participate. changes that all voices will be heard. >> reporter: but many black students we talked to said they didn't believe that there was enough openness in the community here on campus to actually really affect real change when it comes to w

it failed to adequately notify the university's president, who was kept in the dark about the issues for nearly a month. students on campus say they felt the same way. >> it wasn't addressed fast enough. it wasn't -- they didn't take action fast enough for us, for me to be comfortable. >> i think they took a little too late to address the issue because i know they had reports earlier before and just to have it set in is just a little ridiculous. >> reporter: but the report noted the victim was afraid to talk about what was going on. other students say they hoped the task force could find ways to build student confidence back up. >> in the long run i would have more confidence if they show us they care about the students and if they take situations like this more seriously than they did. >> reporter: retired judge ladoris cordell will head the task force made up of academics, students, community activists and alum. live in the newsroom, cate caugiran, kpix 5. >>> the olympic games are already under way in sochi. the opening ceremonies are tomorrow but security officials are on high al

nhk world has more. >> reporter: doctors at the university of tokyo hospital and 21 medical institutions have been studying the side effects of a new leukemia drug known as tasigna, a drug marketed by novartis pharma. the study was meant to be led and conducted by doctors. however, more than half of the data was collected by salespeople of novartis pharma before being taken to the university hospital, the body overseeing the study. now there is suspicion that the pharmaceutical company was also involved in the analysis. in april last year a doctor at one of the hospitals said he was asked by the project manager at the university of tokyo hospital to present a brief on the study at an academic meeting. the doctor said novartis pharma employee gave him the analysis of the study and explained how he should interpret the results, apparently with approval of the project manager. the project manager sent him an e-mail in september saying they may adopt some of the data offered by the drugmaker. the e-mail also said it was important to secure proof that doctors in the hospital had conducted the

[applause] >> what, what, what? government? some people are smarter than others, some have a silver spoon. >> look, there's certainly crony capitalism, but i don't doubt that in markets, some people prosper more income-wise. what i like to point out is that one of the grea benefits of free market is while it increases from time to time, income inequality, it decreases consumption inequality. rich people do notconsume much more than poor people today. the difference between what poor people and rich people consume is shrinking ever, ever -- tey are getting closer. john: you brought a catalog along to make a point? >> yeah. the typical american worker then had to work 30 hours to buy this vacuum, and today, they ony work six hours t buy a better one. the poor are getting richer
