Critics of creationists will often complain that all we do is pick at flaws in evolutionary theories, so why don't creationists round up some research? Well, busting evolutionary broncos is often quite easy because Darwin's Cheerleaders frequently fail at critical thinking, and there are numerous flaws in what is considered evidence for evolution. They get ornery when we point out those things. But more than that, anti-creationists seldom do their homework, preferring prejudicial conjecture instead. If they did scout around the Web, they would learn some starting things that interfere with their biases. Creationary scientists actually do research, write papers, have jobs in scientific fields, publish in peer-reviewed journals and more. Although the Bible is their foundation, they still conduct "real" science, including life sciences . Here is an article by Dr. Jason Lisle from the Institute for Creation Research about activities in biology, DNA, stratigraphic c

A basic fact of human nature is that people interpret what they observe according to their worldviews — we all have our starting points. These worldviews are based on presuppositions which can relate to valid and invalid axioms, experiences, biases and so forth. I have long maintained that despite the opinions of many, scientists are not dispassionate and unbiased; they have something to investigate and try to prove. Biblical creationists presuppose that the Bible is God's written Word, and interpret evidence in light of it. Evolutionary scientists presuppose that evolution, deep time, materialism (in the majority of cases), and other things are true. Creationary scientists present models and so forth based on their worldviews, just like evolutionary scientist do the same thing. Everyone has the same facts and evidence, there are no "creationist facts", and no "evolutionist facts". As I indicated, the worldviews tend to dictate how the evidence is evaluate

In the past, people in the Western world were not overly concerned about the Ebola virus because it was far away and not a matter of concern. Suddenly in late 2014, the latest outbreak has spread and the death toll is in the thousands. It has a high mortality rate. So far, there is no known cure. Fortunately, it is not something that is airborne. EDIT: Here is some of the unhelpful sensationalism , a report that maybe it is, maybe it isn't but if it isn't, it could become airborne. Transmission electron micrograph of Ebola virus. Credit: CDC Microbiologist Dr. Andrew Fabich addresses some serious questions about the Ebola virus (including how evolutionary "junk DNA" ideas have been harmful). How contagious is it? Were viruses created by God? Can I get infected? Is this bioterrorism? Are atheists doing anything more than ridiculing medical missionaries? How can we respond? Several months ago, friends of mine were planning a trip to Liberia. They were just abo

G'day. Today we travel to 'Straya and look at the dingo. This wild dog supports creationist predictions about adaptation, and also fits the Genesis Flood timeline. There is disagreement as to when it came to Australia, but the Aborigines have ancient legends saying that the dingo was brought with them. Here’s an animal that sure could use an ‘image make-over’ and public relations campaign. For many years, the dingo was best known as the wild dog of Australia—the largest carnivore on the Australian mainland — and for being the scourge of the sheep industry. A single dingo can maul up to 50 sheep in one night, killing far more than it needs for food. To read the rest, click on " The Australian dingo—a wolf in dog’s clothing ".

  by Cowboy Bob Sorensen During a discussion with the pastor about having a Question Evolution Day event in his church, he was concerned about being "labeled". Don't misunderstand, this pastor is not a fearful man. That is a natural reaction because (as I have pointed out many times), he seems to know that people often "think" with their emotions. Hanging a label on someone is a way to provoke an emotional reaction. Anti-creationists will use this fact to their advantage. I got to cogitating on this, saddled up and set out at full gallop. The URL is now outdated, this was made at Sign Generator, which is also gone now What Kind of Labels? There are many kinds of labels riding the open prairie today, and the most accurate definitions are often left behind in favor of the ones most commonly used. Being labeled is one thing, but the connotations associated with many labels are often inflammatory. I reckon that hanging a negative label on someone

EDIT: Click here for a great improvement on this picture . Big news: Fossil squirrels found in China. Bigger news: They were found in Jurassic rock layers. This is not surprising to biblical creationists, but poses some problems for evolutionary paleontologists because such complex mammals should not have existed yet according to their presuppositions. Worse for them, there is no appreciable change between the extinct rodents and modern ones (like those that irritate my wife by getting into the allegedly "squirrel proof" bird feeder). Excuses kick into gear, even though evolution is touted as a kind of irresistible force — except when there is no change, then "stasis" is invoked. Another reason this shouldn't be a surprise is that mammals have been found by paleontologists on dinosaur digs before . So, evolutionists are telling us things they know aren't true. There's a word for that, but I don't recollect what it is right now. It is a f

Pardon me for reification , but I'm going to say that observed geologic evidence screams, "Global catastrophic Genesis Flood" — a lot of water in a relatively short time. Old-earth geologists usually insist on uniform processes carving out canyons and things over millions or billions of years. Then they contradict themselves by saying arid Mars had surface features carved out by catastrophic floods. There is talk of wind sandblasting erosion on Mars, even though the atmosphere there is practically nonexistent. Wind erosion there, like here, would not allow surface features to be standing after huge amounts of time. Some geologists are scaling back their time estimations. Not to biblical timeline levels, but some drastic reductions just the same. Chryse Planitia on Mars, photo from Viking 1 / NASA It is interesting that some geologists are rethinking the whole thing, and seeing that some features on Earth were made by catastrophic processes like they supposedly h
