Glad you “tuned” in to this week’s recap of InterHigh Monthly 2! This past Saturday, we learned about how our universe is intricately fine-tuned, from some very smart science-minded individuals who earned (or is earning) their science and engineering Ph.Ds at Berkeley.
We were fortunate enough to have a little bit of their brain power rub off onto us, as we explored a few of the constants that make life possible here on Earth and the strong evidence for design in our universe. Did you know that if our earth was …

These teenagers had everything a they could possibly want and need: lots of money, the latest in clothing or gadgets, cars, and a few were quite popular at school. However, the makers of the documentary discovered that most felt very …
Here’s a man on the street video where UC Berkeley students were asked, “Does God Exist?” The film was made by InterHigh mentors and shown at InterHigh Monthly #1.
If you’re interested in knowing who’s who among scientist who doubt Darwin’s theory of evolution then go to this site. In it you will find a list of academics, scholars, scientists and medical
professionals from Harvard, MIT, Berkeley and other top research institutions stating their disagreement with Darwin’s theory to account for the complexity of life.
Also, click here to download an article written by Dr. Jonathan Wells, Ph.D, UC Berkeley. The article, titled “Survival of the Fakest,” reveals the hoaxes behind the famous “icons of evolution” that have been presented …
“There was a time, literally, when there were no teenagers.” What Diana West is suggesting in The Death of the Grown-Up: How America’s Arrested Development Threatens Western Civilization will undoubtedly sound ridiculous to thousands of youth pastors, family therapists, and advertising gurus whose livelihoods depend on entertaining, counseling, and selling to teenagers.
