Sulpfur on Venus and Earth — Why the Difference?

Image
Venus has been called Earth's twin. More like "evil twin", because it has extremely hot temperatures (being closer to the sun causes "global warming"), lots of volcanic activity, sulfur dioxide clouds, and atmospheric pressure. The first probes to land on another planet were sent by the former Soviet Union, the Venera program ( Venera 13 sent back the first color pictures from Venus), but they didn't last long in that environment. Venus — Computer Simulated Global View Centered at 180° E. Longitude / NASA/JPL Although Venus is known for sulphur, Earth has quite a bit of the stuff, too. Here, we have a "sulphur cycle", where a complex system of information coded for in genes tells cells how to use the stuff. We need sulfur, but it can be toxic when used improperly. Or not used at all, like on Earth's evil twin, Venus. Earth was created differently. Both planets have abundant sulfur, but Earth life has a way of cycling it for good.

Evolutionists Barking Up Wrong Tree on Dog Fossil

Image
We've seen before that when Darwinists have evidence that does not support their claims, they have been known to fudge it to pretend they have not been falsified.  Way up yonder in Siberia, a dog fossil was found. What did they do? Made up another batch of fudge. (If anyone has a notion to make some for me, you should find a good recipe here .) So anyway... Go on, pet it. You know you want to. Credit: US National Park Service (Usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Evolutionary scientists obtained disagreeing dates about the Siberian dog fossil, so they did what we dread to hear from our car's GPS: "Recalculating". There are problems with the framework in which they interpret data. Using a biblical timeline with recent creation, the evidence falls into place. DNA research identified a Siberian fossil as an ancient dog bone. But its radiocarbon date doesn't match the accepted evolutionary story for dog origins. The ease with which scientists

"Deep Time" is Not Compatible with Christianity

Image
Science is a systematic method for attaining knowledge that is dependent on the presuppositions of its users for the interpretations of facts. Christians who use naturalistic viewpoints and affirm an old earth are not only showing their lack of proper understanding of Scripture, but set in motion a domino effect of compromise from Genesis to Revelation. Old earth views are founded in naturalism, which has an atheistic basis. There are Christians who are firmly committed to an old earth because of what they consider to be "abundance of scientific evidence". Some are even theistic evolutionists (which I believe are essentially deists), and evolution requires "deep time". Many times, biblical creationists have faced unchristian, vituperative attacks from these people, and they frequently join forces with atheopaths in this derision. (It is almost laughable when people who hate God and his Word presume to tell us what the Bible "really" means; it brings

Turtles and — Architectural Engineering?

Image
Here's an understatement: turtles do not feel the need for speed. Many of us like to see the armored vehicles lumbering along (and even helping them get across the road, but make sure you don't get hit by traffic when doing your good deed), or admiring their markings. Their design (such as box turtles having their own "antifreeze" ) is quite interesting, as well. Box Turtle / Valley Forge National Park / US National Park Service The shells of these critters are not miniature army helmets. Instead, the Master Architect included many features similar to (and superior in many ways) advanced designs by human engineers. Unlike most reptiles, which escape danger by hiding or running, turtles carry around a protective shield and home all rolled into one. No other vertebrate does anything quite like this. A portable home requires special architectural designs—not just on the inside but for the whole body plan. I prefer to think of turtles as walking cathedrals, tem

Brain Size Does Not Indicate Intelligence

Image
“I have no doubt that I am very stupid, but I must confess that I am unable to follow you. For example, how did you deduce that this man was intellectual?” For answer Holmes clapped the hat upon his head. It came right over the forehead and settled upon the bridge of his nose. “It is a question of cubic capacity,” said he; “a man with so large a brain must have something in it.” —A. Conan Doyle, " The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle " Pixabay / Gerd Altmann It has been a staple of evolutionary dogma that having a bigger brain means someone is more smarter than us reg'lar folk. The Sherlock Holmes bit quoted above shows that view. Ever see the animated show " Pinky and the Brain "? They were altered lab mice, and the genius had the larger cranium. Problem is, the concept isn't true , and was even used as an excuse for Social Darwinism. Just another story to tell around the campfire when riding along the Evolution Trail. Another problem is that Dar

Eye Intricacies

Image
Today's post has two sections about the amazing human eye. (This is not repeating how tinhorns who claim that the eye has "bad design" are thoroughly refuted, but you can read about that here .) Today we'll look at some different things. Eyelids and lashes help remove debris. So do tears. Did you know that only humans shed tears through emotion, and Darwinists can't explain this? (You know, like when anti-creationists realize that they are clinging to their rejection of biblical creation despite the scientific evidence they think brings them truth.) When crying through emotion, opioid-like molecules are released and some are re-absorbed so you feel better. When we think about human vision, the first thing that comes to mind is the eye. But just as a star football player performs with other essential players on his team, our eyes are supported by key, well-designed structures that are absolutely essential to making sight possible. We will consider some of

Faking the Fossil Whales — Revisited

Image
Back on May 6, 2014, I posted about " Faking the Fossil Whales ". The subject was how Dr. Carl Werner documented altered whale fossils that were sold to museums, and the admission to altering was made in a video. Naturally, this generated heat from some owlhoots who were protecting their religion of evolutionism. After all, whale evolution is supposedly well documented — if you call storytelling from bits and pieces "documentation". I was attacked, Dr. Werner and radio show host Bob Enyart were impugned as well; it's a mite irritating to be called a liar by liars in the course of their lying. Rodhocetus  skull at University of Michigan Museum of Natural History / Wikimedia Commons / ellenm1 Some tinhorn came out of the gate with libelous accusations, and claimed that he had corresponded with Phil Gingerich, one of the people Dr. Werner interviewed on his video. Gingerich allegedly wrote in part, "I have been criticized for speculating that Rodhocet
