Christian scientists assert that materialistic explanations of the origin of stars are errant and contra-evidence and reports of stars forming are invalid. [21][22][23][24][25] In addition, creationists cite the secular scientific literature in order to make the case that materialist explanations of star formation are inadequate:

"The nervous system is divided into two main sections, the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. Neuroscientist investigate both systems with a wide range of methodologies including: comparative animal physiology, biochemical and genetic analysis, case studies of pathologies, brain imaging and computational modeling. Investigations range from studying the cellular components of individual neurons, to large scale interactions of multiple organ systems.

Neuroscience is a rapidly growing field of interest. Probably the most significant event that has led to the explosion of research and findings is the development of non-invasive imaging techniques of the brain in living organisms particularly those techniques that allow for analysis of function and not just anatomical structures (such as the fMRI).

http://www.conservapedia.com/Pioneer_anomaly

In 2010, creation scientist Dr. D. Russell Humphreys wrote regarding his explanation for the Pioneer anomaly:
“ The only non-standard assumption I used was that the matter of the cosmos is limited in extent, with a fair amount of empty space beyond the matter—an assumption supported by the Bible. With those relatively modest beginnings, I was able to explain the Pioneer anomaly — it’s due to a change in the ‘fabric’ of space. In fact, this anomaly could be the first local manifestation we have observed of the expansion of the cosmos, and the first evidence that expansion is occurring in the present, not just the past.

The assumption I used violently contradicts the foundational assumption of the big bang, which says the universe has no centre and no edge. In that model, the fabric of space would not change. Consequently, the big bang model has been unable to explain the anomalous Pioneer acceleration.[2]

http://conservapedia.com/Dream
>To dream is to imagine while sleeping.
Wrong. Dreaming most likely arises from PGO-waves (generated by the brainstem) that are synthesizes in the brain. It's hardly imagining, since that involves conscious direction of the visuals and all that.

>The purpose of dreams is still little-enough known. Dreaming is important, however, not only in medicine, but also in metaphysics, due to the arguments of the idealists.
Metaphysics is bollocks.

>In dreaming we have an internal sentiment of ourselves and sometimes even a delirium great enough to see some things outside of ourselves. We ourselves act willingly or not, and finally all the objects of dreams can be seen to be figments of our imagination.
This is the most useless description of dreaming I've ever seen.

>The things that strike us most strongly during the day appear to our soul while in repose;
Meant is that emotionally salient events will appear in dreams; an incomplete model.

>this is common enough, even in animals (since dogs dream like men do).
Not proven. Dogs exhibit signs of REM sleep, but REM sleep is not causally linked to dreaming (we dream in nREM sleep as wel). There was one experiment with cats that suggested that cats dream, though. Even then, we still cannot state that 'dogs dream like men do'.

>The cause of dreams is thus all impressions—strong, frequent and powerful—in any case.
The cause of dreams is brainstem activity.
