| THE HYPERBARIC BIOSPHEREThis unique chamber (below left), designed to emulate the conditions thought by creationists to exist on the early earth is housed at the Creation Evidences Museum in Glen Rose Texas. It provides double atmospheric pressure, enhanced oxygen and protection from ultraviolet radiation; while the magnetic coils attempt to make up for earth’s reduced magnetic field. Initial results from ongoing tests with fruit flies, poisonous snakes, and other organisms point to some dramatic differences in creatures living in this environment compared to a control group. For example, the lifespan of fruit flies has been tripled. A 62 ft hyperbaric biosphere (right) is currently under construction |
