Piltdown Superman

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen Since materialists cannot make us go away, they resort to various methods to silence Christians — especially biblical creationists. Many of these efforts involve ugsome reasoning and emotional reactions, which are common among internet atheopaths and fundamentalist evolutionists. We must avoid their manipulation and diversions, stay on topic, and keep them on topic as well.  They tend to get mighty ornery when we see their diversions for what they are and keep them on the subject at hand.   I'll allow that it's not always easy, and I've chased a few shiny things myself. Red Herrings A common logical fallacy is the red herring , which is a distraction from the subject at hand. In my opinion, most if not all informal logical fallacies are diversions from a subject under discussion. If you ponder it, someone attacking your illustrious person, introducing a different topic, rejecting the source of the information, expecting you  to explain or def

Ever notice that many of the animals we have are used for a purpose? Throughout history, we've used them for food and many have been domesticated for labor (plowing, riding, and so forth) and some as pets. (Cowboy wisdom: never name a cow you're going to eat.) Smaller animals like dogs are often useful, birds can be cute and fascinating, reptil es as well , and cats — don't try to harness a tiger, and the house cat is too small to be a laborer. Sometimes for catching mice, and yet, they are adored pets in many places around the world. Some of us coddle them while marveling at their grace and dignity. Guess we humans don't necessarily have to be utilitarian about everything, do we? Especially when many of us consider pets a part of the family. So, where do they come from? The consensus was that our pets came from Egypt. Although they were worshiped there, genetic testing indi cats — I mean, indicates — that they came from Shinar. Well, the Iraq area. And they ultimate

We observe seagulls around lakes, rivers, bays (no jokes about bay gulls, please), and so on. For some reason, they like to hang around our grocery store parking areas that are a long way from water. They also live up to their name, living around the sea. Did you know they can drink sea water?  Seagulls Over the Waves , Ohara Koson, 1915 Those of us who live in areas where we can get drinking water out of a faucet or in bottles at the grocery store where the seagulls hang out may take our plentiful supply for granted. In fact, most of the water on Earth is salty. (Sure do hope they make progress on that graphene water purification study .) Several varieties of seabirds don't mind, since our Creator provided them with salt glands — and some fresh water-drinking birds can adapt to drinking salt water! On Day Five of Creation Week, God created the birds and all creatures that live in the water. While some of these creatures live only in freshwater and others live only in saltw

Remember all that hoopla about a " dinosaur feather in amber ", or even "feathered dinosaur tail trapped in amber"? For that matter, remember the criticism of the Jurassic Park / World movies because it did not show feathered dinosaurs? How about the bumps that were claimed to be possibly maybe they hope the beginnings of feathers, but nothing was really found? That's the result of evolutionary zealots spreading fake science in their desperate attempts to deny the Creator. They do that. It's who they are. Assembled with components from Clker clipart The lapdog press of the secular science industry was glad to spread sensationalistic stories, and the Evo Sith were more than happy to wave this "evidence" in the faces of creationists and say, "Aha! Gotcha!" As usual (and often before scientists are ready to make definitive claims), further examination reveals that Darwin's enthusiastic disciples were asserting too soon. Dinosau

The link featured today has two interesting ideas from secular scientists, one of which tells biblical creationists something we already knew. First, scientists are suspecting that Earth way back yonder was flat. No, not that way (even though the Flat Earth Society is run by evolutionists ). Rather, it was flat in a round way. Uh, let me try that again. You know those maps showing hills, mountains, valleys, and whatnot? Those are relief maps. (Unfortunately, they don't show where I can get relief when I'm taking a long drive, but oh well.) The round, flat earth did not have much relief going for it, not very bumpy, but ocean covered. We knew about that from reading the recent creation account in Genesis, and creationists also believe that the mountains were formed during (and shortly after) the Genesis Flood.

Sorting through the "mountains of evidence" for fish-to-fool evolution will likely make you puzzle and puzzle 'til your puzzler is sore. So much of what is considered evidence for the "fact" of evolution is a prairie schooner-full of Just-So Stories, but precious little in the way of actual science. But the keepers of the Sacred Darwinian Archives™ will take something out, smile, shine it up for you, and expect you to feel blessed for being able to view it. One of the treasures is the tale of how animal teeth evolved because the grass changed. Yep, molars got bigger. Credit: Freeimages / MARIE JEANNE Iliescu "Un momento, por favour! Isn't something evolving for a purpose an example of teleology ?" I reckon so. Also, because of changing conditions that allegedly caused evolution, it smacks of being Lamarckian . To me, anyway. Grasslands changed, so teeth changed. Except that the evidence does not only refute that idea, but evolutionists u

Way back centuries ago (well, I was a teenager in the 1970s), I lived with my parents, naturally. The stairway to the basement was decent, nothing like the kind you see in a mystery movie or something. Down, then a landing, and a right turn. Now, this is a mite tricky to describe, but those steps had metal strips on the ends that were nailed down, I disremember why, probably to hold down non-skid plastic or something. I was charging downward in my stocking feet as usual, but this time, one of those metal strips caught my sock. This caused me to pitch forward toward the concrete wall at the landing.  Instantly, my hands flew out and I grabbed the handrails on either side, which spared me a great deal of inconvenience.

Lots of things simultaneously that end in — ception.  You know, like perception.  We have more than just the five main senses, and I'm not talking about paranormal spooky stuff. Your brain h
