In the Garden with Thomas Dykstra, PhD Part I

02/22/25 • -1 min

Field Trip: Fred Williams and co-host Doug McBurney welcome Dr. Thomas Dykstra to discuss Regenerative Agriculture, Bioelectromagnetics, the decline of efficient function in the creation, and solutions.

The Natural: Dr. Thomas M. Dykstra is a PhD entomologist and agricultural consultant, and the lab director at Dykstra Labs in Gainesville Florida. Dr. Dykstra received his Masters in entomology from the University of Florida, where he investigated the neurophysiology of pheromone production in moths. He then received a Ph.D. in insect bioelectromagnetics under Dr. Philip S. Callahan at Florida.

5G & Honeybees: Find out from the expert what's happening with the honey bees, and if it has anything to do with the electromagnetic energy associated with modern communications.

BRIX, Dr. Brix & Healthy Plants: Find out why garden variety pests typically do not eat healthy plants, and how you can find out if your plants are healthy enough to go organic & forgo pesticides!

5G & Honeybees: Find out from the expert what's happening with the honey bees, and if it has anything to do with the electromagnetic energy associated with modern communications.

Refuting Beneficial Mutations with Dr. Jerry Bergman

* Take Me To the Top: Hear Speakers like James Tour, Jerry Bergman, Rob Stadler, Sal Cordova, Joel Brown and our very own Fred Williams Fri & Sat Feb 21 & 22 online at Creation Summit's "No PhD Required" virtual creation conference. *Dr. Jerry Bergman: Fred Williams and Doug McBurney welcome Dr. Jerry Bergman who has taught biology, genetics, chemistry, biochemistry, anthropology, geology, and microbiology at several Universities for over 40 years. Dr. Bergman is a graduate of Medical College of Ohio, Wayne State University in Detroit, The University of Toledo, and Bowling Green State University. *Spanking David James: a reference to Real Science Radio was added to professor David James Farina's rationalwiki page because Doug called Professor Dave a communist, (but without reference to our debunking, or even a link)! *A Heavy Load: And we don't mean Professor Dave's "debunking" of Special Creation! We mean the genetic load of mutations that are overwhelmingly deleterious, and never add information beneficial for the survival of an organism. *Encode & Haldane's Dilemma: tell us that Professor Dave and his lovely wife would need to bear at least 10⁴⁸ more children to even have a chance of evolving the species. *Another Hunk of Junk: turns out to be functioning DNA, and not what Professor Dave and the disciples of Darwin call "Junk DNA". *All Apologies: Doug apologizes to Professor Dave for making light of his past career difficulties, and extends the gospel to him, knowing that behind the bravado of every atheist is a sad story and a broken heart. *Mutations, Cancer & Evolution's True Path: Hear the truth about genetic mutations based on Dr. Bergman's decades of research where the evidence proves mutations kill cells, and kill organisms, (and radiation is used to CAUSE mutations to kill cancer cells)!

On the Farm with Thomas Dykstra, PhD Part II

*Non-Profit Farmers? Fred Williams and co-host Doug McBurney welcome Dr. Thomas Dykstra to discuss how an Agriculture Consultation can help farmers make a profit again!

*The Natural: Dr. Thomas M. Dykstra is a PhD entomologist and agricultural consultant, and the lab director at Dykstra Labs in Gainesville Florida. Dr. Dykstra received his Masters in entomology from the University of Florida, where he investigated the neurophysiology of pheromone production in moths. He then received a Ph.D. in insect bioelectromagnetics under Dr. Philip S. Callahan at Florida.

*Microbes, Micronutrients & Pesticides: Find out why "Low BRIX farming" is expensive, and the pesticides negatively impact the soil by altering the microbiome.

*Where Were the Smelling? "Insect Olfaction". (meaning how bugs smell things) has been thought to be a lot like ours. Hear about an alternative theory from Dr. Dykstra that at the very least, "passes the smell test".

*Better Farming Better Food: While modern farming techniques, pesticides, and herbicides have increased the global supply of food, the quality of the food could be improved, and with modern technology, and common sense it can be!

*Dragonflies Versus Botflies: Find out what's the fastest bug on earth, (or technically "fastest flying insect" in the sky).

*Insects Versus Microbes: Find out the difference between bugs!

*High BRIX Low BRIX foods: You can measure the BRIX of your vegetables and fruits using a refractometer, and following some simple instructions.

*Farm Versus Academia: Hear what it's like teaching high BRIX farming to farmers versus speaking about it in academia.

Tom's Favorite Bug? Hands down it's the Praying Mantis! Do you get it? Their hands are always up! Dr. Dykstra will be playing through the weekend, give him a hand... thank you, thank you very much... be sure to try the veal parmesan.
