April 27, 2010 By 24 Comments
Carl Baugh talks with Dr. Carl Jackson about what to tell hand how to tell an evolutionist about creation. Dr. Carl Jackson — PHD in science education — from the University of Virginia — History that covers evolutionary theory — Has a creation ministry — Works in micro biology and biochemistry Four Great Questions of Life/Existence/Being 1. Who am I? 2. Where did I come from? 3. What’s My Purpose Here? 4. Where am I going? Where did I come from? — If Evolution is true — We came from a rock What’s My Purpose Here? — If Evolution is true — We have no purpose Where am I going? — If Evolution is true — We aren’t going anywhere and there is no eternal future Where did I come from? — If Creation is true — We were created by a loving, beneficent, divine, all wise creator What’s My Purpose Here? — If Creation is true — We have a purpose to represent him Where am I going? — If Creation is true — We have a glorious future to know him face to face How should you talk to an evolutionist about the issues of life and about creation — without offending that individual? When you are talking to an evolutionist about creation — you should be praying in your mind You should understand what they are thinking first — Apostle Paul did that — see where they are coming from Some evolutionist are persuaded that there is evidence showing evolutionary theory Others are compelled that evolution must be true Even Church members might believe in evolution Richard Dawkins — Said …
AT Shulgin – How i go about discovering new drugs (1998) [3/5]
April 24, 2010 By 1 Comment
A talk by Alexander T. Shulgin @ Psychoactivity Conference, Amsterdam. “Alexander “Sasha” Shulgin, Ph.D., is a pharmacologist and chemist known for his creation of new psychoactive chemicals. After serving in the Navy, he earned his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from UC Berkeley in 1954. In the late 50s and early 60s he did post-doctorate work in psychiatry and pharmacology at UC San Francisco and worked briefly as research director at BioRad Laboratories before becoming a senior research chemist at Dow Chemical Co. In 1960, Sasha tried mescaline for the first time. He then experimented with synthesizing chemicals with structures similar to mescaline such as DOM. After leaving Dow in 1965 to become an independent consultant, Sasha taught public health at Berkeley and San Francisco General Hospital. In 1967, he was introduced to the possibilities of MDMA by an undergrad at San Francisco State University at a time when very few people had tried MDMA. Though Shulgin didn’t invent the chemical, he did create a new synthesis process in 1976 and introduced the material to Leo Zeff, an Oakland psychologist who worked with psychedelics in his therapy practice. Zeff introduced hundreds of therapists to MDMA and word quickly spread outside the therapist community. Sasha’s partner Ann Shulgin also conducted psychedelic therapy sessions with MDMA before it was scheduled in 1985. Since that time, Shulgin has synthesized and bioassayed (self-tested) hundreds of psychoactive chemicals …
