Preface
Youvan’s e-book, below, “Questions of a Christian Biophysicist”, ISBN
978-0-615-43573-2, is written entirely in the form of polemic questions.
These 800+ questions indicate Youvan’s firm belief in Biblical Creation
as per Genesis 1-2. While some questions are at research level in mathematics,
cosmology, and biophysics, other questions pertain to a broad spectrum of basic
subjects ranging from family relationships to Wikipedia politics to child
education. Some questions are written for fellow scientists,
teachers, apologists, and pastors that have answers bordering on paradoxical or
indeterminate.
Doug
feels called by the Great Commission of Jesus Christ to
“extinguish Darwinism” and spread the word that
“an intelligent man can believe in literal
Creation”. He is credited with
finding a pattern in the genetic code which is inexplicable by any Earthly
process. His questions hit hard at
secularist beliefs in the Big Bang and Evolution. His discovery of a
pattern in the genetic code is published
here on Wikipedia's genetic code article which receives nearly one million
hits per year.
Youvan received his Ph.D. in Biophysics from UC Berkeley in 1981 and
advanced to the level of Associate Professor of Chemistry (MIT) in 1990.
Discovery of the genes for photosynthesis, invention of in vitro
evolution, and discoveries in discrete mathematics are attributed to Youvan, who
was later Born Again via epiphany at age 46. Youvan has attended a variety of
Christian churches, including: Catholic, Calvinist, Calvary, Methodist, Baptist, Southern
Baptist, Nazarene, Pentecostal, and Charismatic neo-Pentecostal in a variety of
states including Kansas, Colorado, Hawaii, and California.
For
readers interested in Mathematica
programming, color, and/or the discrete mathematics used to study the genetic
code, Professor Youvan’s first e-book is also free and online: “Pseudocolor in Pure and
Applied Mathematics”, ISBN

For more information on Youvan, himself, please see his current Wikipedia
biography at
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Douglas_Youvan. His biography is frequently
attacked by atheist editors, so you might want to view an earlier version of his
biography in Wikipedia's history shown
here.
All questions are in chronological order of writing with
the exception of the first and last questions which were written in November of
2010. Work on this book began in October of 2010 concomitant with this
web-based publication. The 650th question was written in April, 2011.
If you are currently reading a paper copy of this book, that's probably from a
short printer run, and it is likely that the e-book on the website is more
up-to-date as more questions have been added.

Questions 1- 820
-
-
Do you find the following quotes and comment from Darwin, Crick, and
Jukes to be troubling?
-
"Ignorance more frequently begets
confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who
know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be
solved by science." - Charles Darwin
-
"The lectures will be concerned with the
impact of biological ideas, both present and future, on our concept
of the world. They will not be militantly anti-Christian, but
nevertheless will be directed against the sort of ideas at present
held by many religious people." - Francis Crick
-
Jukes was one of the founders of the
Journal of Molecular Evolution; his subsequent work with molecular
evolution focused especially on the origin and evolution of the
genetic
code. After returning to Berkeley, he also became heavily involved in a number of
public scientific controversies, and was a gifted polemicist. In the 1960s, he
fought against the introduction of
creationism into the California public schools. -Wikipedia

Is it delusional to believe that there has been
a 2,000 year line of succession of Roman Catholic Popes - all of whom were

Is the portrayal of medical remedies as a science a ploy to extract money
from unsuspecting patients?
-
Do medical doctors enrich themselves through their patients fear of death -

Why does the popular media use the
word "lost", e.g., "lost her battle with cancer", when a Christian should

Do you think that many medical doctors who portray medicine as a science
know that there are no exact solutions in science for any system larger than

This "no
intelligence event" was caused by a physical
event analogous to NP or non-algorithmic mathematics.
