Crappie Crankbait from the Darwin Ranch specializes in ancient aquatic reptiles, and he was giving a lecture in town. It was a follow up to  his ichthyosaur talk , this time about mosasaurs. Dr. Crankbait gave old talking points about the critters. Yes, these reptiles were big, about 50 feet or 15 meters long. Their order is Squamata because they are supposedly related to lizards that left land and returned to the sea. It has been assumed that mosasaurs were poor swimmers. When I publicly asked how anyone knows these things, Dr. Crankbait ignored me.

Some of Darwin's acolytes get on the prod when I point out that evolutionists have presuppositions. Then some insist that creationists are the ones who do that, not "scientists." (That is, no true scientist questions evolution.) But the r...

There is a concept called rewilding , which is considered a "progressive" approach to conservation. (When progressive  is used, be cautious of extremism.) The idea sounds reasonable and noble: Bring back creatures (or their relatives) that were extinct in some areas and let them roam free. Let nature live in peace, love, and grooviness. Extreme environmental views are wrapped in evolutionary thinking, so humans are just another thing that evolved. We are not exceptional (and certainly  not created separately and in the image of God, no siree). Turning wild critters loose can have dire consequences. Gray wolf, US National Park Service (Usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) According to standard reckoning, the dire wolf has been extinct for thousands of years. A company called Colossal Bioscience took some DNA and claims to have brought back the dire wolf from extinction. In reality, they did not have the materials or ability to do so, but the company made modifie...

On this site alone, many instances of Darwin's disciples galloping off with new discoveries that allegedly demonstrate evolution are displayed. Evolutionists ignore possible alternative explanationsfor data, important facts are neglected, bad logic is used, and more. Unfortunately, some Christians use the same poor thinking. Some of it is based on dramatic claims, such as drilling into Hell itself . The gospel is true, we do not need to "wow" people into believing it — especially when we  are being gullible and not checking the material. There are several artifacts said to depict dinosaurs that are false. Dinosaur on a road, Pixabay / Guo WuYou , modified at PhotoFunia Obviously, biblical creationists want to spread the truth. One part of it is evidence that humans and dinosaurs were contemporaneous for a while, and such evidence is found in historical accounts and numerous artifacts . It becomes a problem when we are in a hurry to show something impressive that turns out...

We are halfway through 2025, and though my unregistered assault keyboards show signs of wear, I am able to continue bringing information that affirms creation and refutes atoms-to-atheist evolution. The secular science industry has an efficient propaganda machine, so people seldom question their pontifications, especially on evolution. I saw a post on social(ist) media saying how humans learned to run to survive, chasing down antelopes when hunting. Nobody questioned this fact-free claim. Conversely, when the world is viewed without Darwin spectacles, evidence for creation is readily apparent. Butterfly on flower, Freeimages /  luis rock Although there are numerous examples here on this site of organisms showing specified complexity and design for their environments, consider flutterbys — I mean, butterflies. Some of them are protected from predators because they taste bad, and other butterflies mimic their appearance. Some types of butterflies migrate incredible distances (using t...

When dealing with supporters of universal common descent, it is often frustrating and slightly amusing at the lack of evolutionary knowledge many show. Worse, they accuse creationists of not knowing "science," even when we demonstrate more knowledge about certain subjects than they do. Evolutionary scientists are portrayed as unified with only slight disagreements about details. Supporters seem oblivious to statements against interest where experts admit they have problems. The situation of a shrew-like tree dweller that is held up as our evolutionary ancestor helps illustrate these truths. "Docodonta Order" mostly made at DeepAI , then modified for texts The usual story is that humans and apes diverged from an unknown common ancestor millions of years ago, but this is not LUCA (the Last Universal Common Ancestor). Nor is it fish we all supposedly evolved from, either. The  hominine (the word itself question-begs evolution) are humans, apes, and lots of other crit...

When people hear the word cyanide , they may think of scenes in spy shows where someone ends himself by biting into a cyanide capsule and is dead in five seconds. Actually, those delivery systems do not work that fast. There are industrial uses for cyanide that include photography, electroplating, making plastics, and many more. It is inside you. Cyanide is an inorganic compound that has numerous sources, even fruit seeds (it takes quite a few to have a bad effect). Now it has been discovered to be biologically important. Hydrogen cyanide, Wikimedia Commons / Benjah-bmm27 (PD, background colors added) It is interesting how something that is lethal in small amounts is beneficial in even smaller amounts. (Doing the research in the first place is extremely difficult because it has to be done on living subjects.) Cyanide poisoning kills by stopping cells from using oxygen, but as a biological function, it helps protect cells during medical events when they are deprived of oxygen. There ar...

It may come as a shock, but yes, there are some things that God cannot do. He created the universe and raised Jesus, God the Son, from the dead. But he still has certain limitations. One is that he cannot go against his nature. Professing atheists like "gotcha" questions like, "If God is all-powerful, can he make a rock so big he cannot lift it?" These tinhorns think they are being clever, but they are showing some serious intellectual flaws. God is perfect in logic, and such challenges are illogical. Mountains, rocks, flowers, and sun, Unsplash / Damian Markutt The challenge is based on contradictory premises, so it is nothing. God cannot make  nothing. He is all-powerful (omnipotent) and has no limitations outside himself.  Such disingenuous questioners are trying to use his omnipotence against him — without understanding what that word means. Roslyn B from Tasmania, Australia asked: My son (grade 8) asked me a question which he was asked by a peer (who says he’s...

It is quite reasonable to wonder why Christians hold the Bible in such high esteem, rejecting the texts considered sacred by other religions. I did something similar, having been raised in a liberal religion. The Fundamentalist Christian school I attended raised many questions for me. When I confronted teachers and schoolmates with questions, they used the Bible as their authority — not books of any other religion. I spent a great deal of time reading the Bible, references, and apologetics books. Where is this or that doctrine taught? Bible outdoors, Unsplash /  Aaron Burden The liberal rebellion I had eventually reversed and I became more conservative and more educated. Biblical teachings appealed to me, and I learned that creation is true and fish-to-fool evolution is a lie. What played a key part after the school days (1979?) was attending the adult Sunday School of another church. They were listening to cassette teaching tapes of Dr. Walter Martin and cults. Why are we right an...

The ear is comprised of three parts, the outer of which helps collect and amplify sounds for the sending of sound vibrations onward. In the middle ear, there are three small bones that transmit information from the tympanic membrane onward to the inner ear. The brain sorts out the sound information. Another function of the inner ear is balance. People who have inner ear infections can have dizziness and spacial awareness trouble. In infection can affect walking and other activities. Darwin's acolytes try to link us to our alleged apelike ancestors by examining fossils of their inner ears. Anatomy of the Human Ear, Wikimedia Commons / Lars Chittka; Axel Brockmann ( CC BY 2.5 ) The inner ear is extremely complex with many parts working together. This specified complexity strongly testifies to the genius of the Master Engineer. Like apes today, those pretended ancestors would have been quite at home swinging from trees. Walking on two legs is uncomfortable and tolerated for short dis...

People appeal to evolution frequently, probably to make something appear more sciency. F'rinstance, I stopped watching a video when it said that people scanning their environment is a leftover from evolution. That was insultingly stupid — and unknowable. The idea of injecting evolution into media seems to come from authority figures in the secular science industry: They frequently make unsupportable assertions. Unfortunately, those scientists and many lay people have a worldview that uses molecules-to-mechanic evolution as a foundation. But critical thinkers may ask, "What evidence do you have for your claim?" Time and time again, we have shown how evolutionists presuppose evolution and then "see" it in many places. Variation, speciation, and all that good stuff are not evolution, old son, and fit into the creationist paradigm. Many other instances of circumstances called evolution are only imagined. An expert in plants examined  stomata , tiny openings that all...
