Dr. Thomas has been awarded official credit for coining the term by the only credentialing agency qualified and authorized to grant it, the aforementioned Real Science Radio.
* Conundrums: Hear how "Operation Cold Bones" has grown (since Logan's last appearances) into two movies now dubbed "The Dinosaur Conundrum Parts I & II". Time will tell if including words with more than two syllables in the title puts the film beyond the intellectual reach of the average American government school graduate; but you being part of the brightest audience in creation, get to hear all about it!
* List of Dino Soft Tissue Discoveries: We thank Dr. Thomas for maintaining Bob Enyart's list of Dinosaur Soft Tissue Discoveries!
* Carl Baugh, Glen Rose & Polarized Light Microscopy: Dr. Thomas and his friends have been playing with the fancy microscope Carl Baugh was so excited about the last time he was on RSR!
* Continuous Environmental Tracking: Jesus gets the credit for creation and the adaptation he built in to his creatures: hat tip to Randy Gulliuza for rethinking engineered design, and establishing a new paradigm, (which is actually an old paradigm... the original paradigm even); to the benefit of engineering and everything else.
* From Hell Creek to the Permafrost: Logan lets loose with the inside scoop on the search for Dinosaur DNA.
* Brian Baked In: Dr. Thomas describes how mythology infects the rational mind, (primarily via entertainment)!
* Not So: Pick up a copy or two of RSR's 2nd in our series of Real Science Radio Teaching Books: "The List of Not So Old Things" detailing an ever growing list of "not so old things" compiled by Fred and Bob Enyart.
* In The Beginning: Order your 9th edition of Walt Brown's amazing, enlightening, biblically sound book explaining why Earth (and the solar system) look the way they do!
* Sun Puzzles: Check out another one of Ellen McHenry's intriguing and enlightening books: Sun Puzzles - on all the curious facts about the Sun that point to an electric, (and not a nuclear) sun.
* Jesus Light & Design: Get the first in our series of Real Science Radio Teaching Books, all about how light and design point to Jesus Christ as the Creator and Savior of the world.
