Bad Science and Extraterrestrial Life

Image
Looks like the hands at the Darwin Ranch must have been ingesting peyote buttons again, since they were presenting some bizarre stuff lately — more so than usual. Since they cannot have discussions with their invisible friends from outer space, evolutionists are commencing to deal from the bottom of the deck again (they're not too spaced out to do that) and being irrational as well as deceitful in their pseudoscience. If the rumor is true , they could have stayed out of trouble by riding into town for a free Slurpee. Since that didn't happen, I have a couple of articles for your consideration.

These tinhorns are getting our tax money to speculate on non-science such as astrobiology , promoting wishful thinking as scientific hypotheses, evolutionary presuppositions, circular reasoning, and so on. We are paying them to indoctrinate us in th

Correcting the Secular Story of Stone Mountain

Image
Way down south in Dixie in these here United States, there is a lump just outside Atlanta. Looks like a rock was dropped there, and it has the uninspiring name of Stone Mountain. Because it is. It is not huge in comparison to other mountains, but a popular attraction. It has a huge but controversial carving of Confederate heroes that is easily seen. A view of the Walk Up Mountain Trail, near the top of Stone Mountain Credit: Wikimedia Commons / DXR The part that is of interest to us is the formation of Stone Mountain. Uniformitarian geologists have the view that granite takes a mighty long time to form, but that was based on philosophy, and has been refuted by evidence and real science. The mountain used to be magma way down yonder below the surface of the earth, then it was moved to the surface during the Genesis Flood. This happened quickly, and is yet another piece of evidence for a young earth. Stone Mountain, which is about 8 km (5 miles) around its base, is part of a h

What Good are Jellyfish?

Image
There are several creatures that we wonder why God made them. You cannot saddle them up, eat them, keep them as pets, and many seem to be more harm than good. But if you study up on them, you can find that they are indeed a part of the ecosystem in ways we did not know before. If more researchers took the view that each organism was created for a purpose instead of taking an evolutionary approach (research was tainted by evolutionary thinking in a turtle sex selection study , for example), I suspicion that more answers would be found more rapidly. Credit: NSF / Henry Kaiser One such critter is the jellyfish, some of which have deadly stings . (They have no nervous system or brains, but their very basic nerves in the tentacles are their sensors.) When people are aware of jellies, they are wise to get away. (I read that some people eat them, but didn't cotton to doing the research.) Sure, they look nice, but do they serve a purpose besides that. I'll allow that jellyfish

Hijacking Science and Reason for Evolution

Image
by Cowboy Bob Sorensen Every once in a while, an anti-creationist will reluctantly admit that a biblical creationist has some scientific knowledge, but will say something along the lines of, "I presume he is still a YEC for strong religious reasons". Not hardly! Atheists, evolutionists, and other anti-creationists have often exhibited incredulity that some folks reject evolution because of scientific reasons. If you head on over to Intelligent Design sites, you'll learn that there are Darwin doubters from various religions and from no religion at all. No, people reject evolution for both scientific and biblical reasons. Evolutionary owlhoots get even more unfriendly-like when they are informed that scientific evidence is a triple threat: it refutes evolutionism, supports biblical creation science (including the Genesis Flood and recent creation) — and affirms what the Bible says. This is happening because origins is not an evidence issue, it is a spiritual proble

Climate Change, the Milankovitch Cycles, and Astrology

Image
Back almost a hundred years ago, Milutin Milankovitch got himself an idea. Using his deep time framework (scientists operate from their paradigms, they do that), he suggested that certain astronomical cycles affected the earth. His concept was not enthusiastically received until secular scientists needed to conjure up a rescuing device for their assorted schemes, such as orbital tuning, climate change, and secular ice age imaginings. Original image, before I defaced it with de face: Pixabay / Alexas_Fotos Modern astronomers and geologists have tried to use the Milankovitch cycles in numerous areas, and are even now using their Charles Darwin Club Secret Decoder Rings© to find new ways to force-fit Milankovitch's ideas into justify their own stories. Even though the "Pacemaker" paper that was used to support this thing was never any good , hey, any rescue in a storm of factlessness, huh? Evolutionism has been getting quite esoteric and unscientific lately, and some

Whale Blasts Conventional Fossilization Story

Image
Yesterday, we looked at " Whale Fossil Frustrates Evolutionists ". Today, something more recent. Through time, chance, and random processes, I ran into Rusty Swingset, the foreman at the Darwin Ranch. He admitted that the standard story of fossilization is still being told despite observable evidence. You have probably encountered it as well. Something dies in or near water, sinks to the bottom, gets covered up over long periods of time, permineralization happens, and a fossil is formed. Except that this does not happen. What happens when something dies, whether on land or in water? Aquarium owners should know this. It gets scavenged and decays, which means there fossilization over long periods is not possible. Biblical creationists have pointed out many times that it happens when something is buried quickly. The existence of billions of fossils is evidence for the Genesis Flood.

Whale Fossil Frustrates Evolutionists

One of the main ways of classifying whales is by their mouth gear. Toothed whales (porpoises and dolphins are classified with them), and baleen whales. Most of us know what teeth are, but baleen  is not a word you hear overmuch when riding the trail. A baleen is a...well, how about if I have NOAA tell you : Baleen whales were named for the long plates of baleen which hang in a row (like the teeth of a comb) from their upper jaws.  Baleen plates are strong and flexible; they are made of a protein similar to human fingernails.  Baleen plates are broad at the base (gumline) and taper into a fringe which forms a curtain or mat inside the whale's mouth.  Baleen whales strain huge volumes of ocean water through their baleen plates to capture food: tons of krill, other zooplankton, crustaceans, and small fish. I think they explained it nicely, don't you? Let me add that toothed whales are hunters, baleen whales are filter feeders. Humpback whale breaching...the big splash is a
