Richard Sternberg making IDiot videos

I got reminded about Richard Sternberg and wondered what he had been
doing. He seems to have stopped publication of scientific articles in
2008, but he is making IDiot videos for the Discovery Institute. In the
latest link above they talk about weird things that actually confirm
biological evolution. They talk about how a complex system of cooling
had to be created around whale testes, when the reason is that testes
evolved in cold blooded animals and they did not evolve to function at
warm blooded body temperature. If the designer is responsible for his
designs for warm blooded animals he didn't do a very good job. Human's
stop gap solution is to hang the family jewels in a sack outside the
body. Really, read their claims. It is actually Rube Goldberg
"intelligent design". Testes evolved in cold blooded animals and never
evolved solutions to function at higher temperatures, so the designer
had to make elaborate designs to get things to work instead of doing
them the right way in the first place.

If you are YEC you should listen to the earlier interviews with
Sternberg before laying out any cash for the videos. Sternberg openly
admits that he is probably looking at a 14 million year period and it
took 9 million years to go from legs to flukes in whales through
punctuated stages. He claims that, that is not enough time and a
designer needed to be tweeking things for that 9 million years. It is
just a few orders of magnitude more time than your average YEC will
tolerate. It is only 1400 times longer than the earth has existed, so
if that doesn't bother you you can pay out for the video.
