The Lewiston Area Historical Society hosts ragtime pianist Steve Spracklen in concert at the museum. The Lewiston Area Historical Society maintains several buildings full of artifacts of the lumbering era which took place between 1891 and 1910. After the lumbering operation was over, the town survived with farming and tourism. Lewiston is a playground for hunters and fishermen, and there is a great effort by the residents to preserve their heritage. Timberfest is their celebration of the lumber heritage with community music, food and talent, like axe throwing and wood carving.

A news release by the American Association for the Advancement of Science tells a research project by Julia Zeh, Ph.D. studying a link between the structure of a humpback whale's song and the whale's movement throguh the water. Despite decades of research into what these songs sound like, scientists have had far less insight into what the whales are physically doing while they sing. Understanding that connection could reveal how singing affects a whale’s energy use, oxygen management and vulnerability to underwater noise and vessel strikes. The article suggests that this study will offer a new window into the biology and evolution of one of the animal kingdom's most elaborate acoustic displays. Dr. Jerry Bergman has written a book "Whale Evolution is a Whale of a Tail". He disputes whale evolution, analyzing each of the purported intermediate fossils and it's impossible evolutionary journey from a fictional dog-like mammal on land gradually losing its feet and limbs and developing flippers, a fluke, and fins. In 1967, Doug observed the ongoing study at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute and the results of attempting to understand the whale's communication method hasn't progress much further despite 60 years of study.

Dr. Jerry Bergman joins us to discuss how peer pressure causes people to make wrong choices about their spiritual life. Standing up for the truth can be difficult and it is tragic that church leaders cave in to accept and teach unscientific theories with poor theological scholarship because it gives the illusion of being tolerant and accepting. Theistic evolution is just that, a worldview that has evolutionary roots with a thin veneer of spirituality. Jerry Bergman documents victims of persecution of Christian believers who are withheld degrees, fired or denied tenure because they openly acknowledge a Christian or creationist worldview. Creationist articles have rarely been accepted for publication in secular refereed journals. Because of this, most creation scientists do not submit them any more. And creationist journals are unavailable in most public and college libraries. Because of all this, it is very unlikely that an outspoken creationist could get through the system intact. Christians often take on 'protective coloration' by accepting scientific orthodoxy but adding a Christian footnote to it. This is no threat to their peers because it fits the prevailing cultural idea that something can be 'true for you, but not for me'.

In April 2024, scientists observed the sea floor split wide open. Earlier that year, in February, marine geophysicist Jean-Yves Royer of the French National Center of Scientific Research deployed the Observatory with Hydro-Acoustics and Geodesy near Amsterdam Island on the Southeast Indian Ridge between Australia and Antarctica. This is part of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands and includes the Kerguelen Islands, MacDonald and Heard Islands. Seafloor spreading is not a slow, gradual creep. Instead, tectonic tension builds over decades before being unleashed in rare, violent bursts — discrete episodes the researchers call "quantum" events. The team built an observatory consisting of five autonomous hydrophones positioned to monitor the entire Saint Paul-Amsterdam volcanic plateau, hoping to catch one of these cataclysmic episodes. The event in April observed that the ridge axis failed and let the accumulated magma underneath propagate into the oceanic crust. Vast sheet-like intrusions of magma, known as dikes, tore through the crust in less than two hours, injecting an estimated 150 million cubic meters of magma into the crust. As the dikes spread, they triggered earthquakes, reawakened long-dormant faults — fractures where blocks of Earth's crust can suddenly slip past one another — and drained the magma reservoir beneath the ridge. As a result, the seafloor above it collapsed very rapidly. At its peak, the ridge was pulling apart at 5 cm every minute — nearly half a million times faster than its long-term average. The findings were published in Nature. If we go to the Biblical account of Noah's flood, in Genesis 7:11, it says that in the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep were broken up and the windows of heaven were opened. Perhaps this April event is a microcosm of what happened on a macro scale during the flood of Noah. Creationists have two models of how that happened: Catastrophic Plate Tectonics and the Hydroplate Theory.
