The public seems to have a cognitive dissonance when it comes to science and the scientists that make science and technology happen. Many will blindly accept what scientists say (or what the science press claims what scientists say). Some go as far as to make man-made science philosophies the ultimate source of truth and knowledge. Then the disconnect. People are skeptical of what scientists say, while being enamored of science. Despite the claims of evolutionists, atheists, agnostics, and those tinhorns who go haywire alternating between atheism and agnosticism, it's not st00pid unedjamakated dumb Xtians who have doubts. Instead, there are people who think and are informed about science matters who have doubts. Can you blame anyone for having doubts? Scientists say things that are not exactly true, and the science press has the grace, dignity, and accuracy of a cattle stampede, making grandiose claims about "discoveries" that the scientists themselves do not reco

It seems that every time cosmologists find a safe trail to ride in tracking the Big Bang, another rattlesnake pops out and spooks their horses. Cosmic microwave background radiation was supposed to be a smoking gun proof of the Big Bang, but it raised more problems than it solved. More recently, the revamped Big Bang hypothesis has had problems, including  quantum fluctuations , primordial lithium , the recent "gravity waves" fiasco , and speculations that there was no Big Bang after all . They keep drawing cards and ending up with a losing hand. Another problem for Big Bang proponents is a cold spot in the sky. A big one. Attempted explanations are failing, and fouling up the whole shootin' match. Reason indicates a Creator, not a cosmic accident. In a new paper, scientists have announced the discovery of an enormous region of lower-than-average galaxy density about three billion light-years from Earth. This "supervoid," the largest single structure ev

When you see the green trees, red roses, blue skies with white clouds, a rainbow in the sky, stars at night, the Grand Canyon, the Great Barrier Reef, Highlands of Scotland, Moraine Lake, Blyde River Canyon, the people you meet, birdies chirping in the trees, you may be thinking to yourself that it's a wonderful world. That it is, old son, that it is. But it's also a wrecked  world. That's right, all the splendor around us is a remnant after the judgement of the Genesis Flood. I reckon that we can't imagine the splendor of the original creation, but God's people will see the new  creation (Rev. 21:1-5, Rev. 22:1-5). We can try to imagine that, but we know we're not even close. We hear about the supercontinent called Pangaea, which broke up into the land masses that we see today. There was supposedly another one before that called Rodinia. No, it doesn't mean land of rodents. Rodinia also broke up. The hypothesis is that Rodinia broke up, continents crash

As a child, did you ever play " Pin the Tail on the Donkey "? You blindfold the participants (one at a time), spin them a bit, then have them put a tail thing on a picture of a donkey that is attached to a wall or something. I wasn't too fond of that game. Darwinists often try to pin the tail on the human by claiming that sometimes people are born with "tails". (Sometimes they confuse "tail" with the tailbone, or coccyx, which is a part of normal human embryonic structure .) These people claim that these "tails" are leftover from our alleged evolutionary history. Now, wait a minute, old son. When someone says that we "evolved from monkeys", they risk the wrath of evolutionists who say that we didn't evolve from monkeys or apes, but that they diverged from a common ancestor way back yonder. But they want to claim we had tails, the "throwbacks" prove it. Lemurs have tails, and they're on the evolutionary tree, wh

Those paleontologists who think they have things all figured out concerning dinosaurs have been getting frequent lessons in humility. Many species never existed, sometimes because were merely varieties of the same one (younger, older, male, female, and so on). There's there's the Brontosaurs that never existed, oh wait, yes the Brontosaurus exists after all business. Now there's Chilesaurus. Yep, he hails from Chile. Looks like a jigsaw puzzle gone bad, since he resembles several things at once. It's reminiscent of the platypus in some ways. And apparently it was a vegetarian. This find helps illustrate that there is still a great deal to learn about dinosaurs (just like we have a lot to learn about living things in the here and now). Of course, evolutionists had to resort to some fact-free fanciful fables about things they have no way of knowing. A new dinosaur from Chile is as unbelievable as the first reported platypus was to English zoologists: a crazy mix o

No, it's not a snake. No, it's not a worm, even though it burrows. It's called a worm lizard, or an amphisbaenian. It has the equipment of a lizard (teeth, eyes, certain scales, backbones and so on), so that's how it's classified. Even so, the specific order is being reconsidered, since they used to be setting up camp with Squamata (scaled lizards), but they may belong in a different classification. Not that they care, they'll go on about their business no matter what humans call them. Two Iberian worm lizards / Image resized from original / Wikimedia Commons / Richard Avery Aside from being a passel of classification hassle, these critters baffle evolutionists because of their wide dispersal (biogeography). Evolutionists thought that they were spread apart when the ancient supercontinent Pangaea broke up, but that idea has changed because observed evidence contradicts it. Although their circular reasoning and old earth dating assumptions are errant, th

We have seen that the heart is amazingly well designed , and the circulatory system has intricate, amazing development before and after a child's birth . But what about that stuff that the heart is pumping through us? You know, blood. It provides nutrition for our cells, gives oxygen to the brain and other organs, removes waste products. The Bible tells us that "the life of a creature is in the blood" (Lev. 17:11), and it took the blood of Jesus Christ to be a sufficient sacrifice for our sins (Rev. 1:5), so our Creator put special meaning in blood, and he designed it to keep us going through life. To believe all of these intricate processes working together is the product of evolution stretches credulity to the utmost. After 100 years of development, automobiles still need engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, antifreeze, and so on. Wouldn’t it be great if just a single multipurpose fluid could be circulated from a central reservoir? Each car part would use
