Description: Art Bell opens with a surprise segment featuring Dr. Nick Begich, author of Angels Don't Play This HAARP, who reacts to breaking news that the HAARP antenna array in Alaska has reached significant power levels. Begich explains how the ionospheric heater could manipulate weather patterns by creating pressure differentials and discusses its earth-penetrating tomography capabilities. Art reveals that HAARP personnel have been desperately seeking high-altitude rocket launches to map their actual antenna pattern, suggesting the array may be producing unexpected radiation patterns.The program shifts to Dr. Kent Hovind, a creation science evangelist who offers $250,000 to anyone providing empirical evidence for evolution. Hovind argues that the earth is roughly 6,000 years old based on biblical genealogies and presents his case that dinosaurs coexisted with humans, citing alleged modern sightings and a photograph of a large marine creature that washed ashore in Monterey Bay in 1925.Art challenges Hovind on carbon dating reliability, the feasibility of Noah's Ark, and whether strong belief qualifies as religion. The discussion touches on pre-flood atmospheric conditions, a proposed water canopy theory, and the implications of reptiles that never stop growing under different environmental pressures.
