Call the scientists wrong, impugn the researchers, say that creationists are lying — but the fact remains that soft tissues from dinosaurs exist. Their bones have yielded DNA . The Darwin Ranch up yonder by Deception Pass keeps firing up the excuse mill to little avail. Sure, many evolutionists cling to those excuses because if dinosaurs could not  have lived millions of years ago, it would be only thousands . That would not give Charlie time to work his magic. A rescuing device involving iron proposed by Dr. Mary Schweitzer was analyzed. Brachylophosaurus canadensis made of iron, Bing AI Image Generator   Dr. Schweitzer figured that since iron is a major component of blood, Fenton reactions could occur that would slow down chemical decay. It seemed plausible on the surface. Many evolutionists enthusiastically grasped at that straw. The idea was actually put to the test. It did not go well for secularists, but helped support the young-age biblical creationists position. Scien...

The other day, I wrote an article about the use of Artificial Intelligence in modern Viking music . There are historical inaccuracies, but admittedly, some is layered and quite good — when people do more than type a prompt and let AI do everything. Authors and AI have noticeable failings. People are polarized about the use of AI. Some act like it is a secular savior of the world, others detest dealing with chatbots. A big problem is that AI can hallucinate and make up its own "facts," and even be deceived, then give medical advice. Social media, Pixabay / Gerd Altmann ( geralt ) Another online way of getting medical advice is through influencers , those folks who have reputations on YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and other social(ist) media sites. If you use the mind that God gave you and think, consider that short videos cannot give sufficient information. You may have conditions that make taking that herbal supplement they recommend a disaster. Some say a food is bad because it...

Purveyors of the dinosaur-to-bird evoporn trip over facts, ignore serious problems, and pretend that evolutionists are all in agreement on the subject. There have been several attempts to present fossilized material as feathers or protofeathers, but there is no actual evidence for it. Indeed, the evolution of the feather itself would be a secular miracle. There are also numerous major changes necessary (with no transitional forms in the fossil record) for dino-to-bird evolution. A hypothetical winged dinosaur cannot fly because of the center of gravity problem. Awkward feathered T. rex with wings © Cowboy Bob Sorensen, made with MS Copilot Flying critters were designed to have the correct center of gravity so they can have control. While it may not exactly be biomimetics, it is clear that human flight drew inspiration from what is seen in creation. Evolutionists seem to think that if a dinosaur had feathers, it was on the way to becoming a bird. Not hardly! Have you ever flown on an a...

Some folks get all het up when creationists talk about the Big Bang, telling us that it has nothing to do with evolution. Two distinct possibilities are that they are uninformed or simply dishonest. Cosmic evolution is the secular origin of the universe myth. You savvy that, pilgrim? There was nothing, which exploded. Eventually there were stars and galaxies, elements formed, our solar system, geologic evolution, and then gas-to-geneticist evolution. Biblical creationists and Intelligent Design proponents point to the fine-tuning of the universe as evidence of a Creator. The Passion of Creation with JWST image from NASA (who does not endorse this site), both modified Secularists tacitly affirm Romans 1:18-24, which says that people know evidence for God which is clear in his creation, but they suppress that truth. It is obvious that Earth was designed for life in many ways such as having a well-behaved sun, our placement in the galaxy, Earth's orbit itself, ATP synthase, and much...

For over sixty years, an image titled "The March of Progress" has been fake news about evolution. Forms of it are still used today, often in parody . It fits Charles Darwin's Victorian-era fantasy where a white man is the pinnacle of evolution. Knowledgeable evolutionists dislike it. Darwinists have evosplained in one way or another is that scientists are agreed about evolution but not about some of the details. How about the handyman? Homo habilis  is the handyman because he supposedly made tools. But he is not just a mere detail to quibble over. H. habilis  was first proposed in the 1960s but has always been controversial. Even so, it has been popularized and treated like a definitive link in the human evolution story despite opposition among evolutionists. This wastebasket or junk taxon is a collection of odds and ends that had to be sorted through to manufacture the handyman. Tools were supposedly found near the bones. (Indeed, some alleged tools are not necessarily ...

Christian students in secular school systems are swimming upstream, and many succumb to the propaganda and lose their faith. Others have learned  what  and why they believe . Ideally, parents use available resources, and kids are taught evolution the right way . In addition to using critical thinking and seeing how children are indoctrinated into a secularist religion , Christian parents and children utilize good biblical creation science material to bolster knowledge. Expect it to happen that a student is assigned to write a paper on evolution. Then what? School crossing sign, Morguefile / thesuccess Creation scientists who have obtained degrees are divided about whether or not creationist students should keep their heads down about their beliefs. Some have said they had no trouble in higher education, others emphasize caution. When writing a paper about evolution, it is best to keep creation views and mentions of God out of it. This is not compromise, but rather, strategic. ...

As discussed previously, we often use artificial intelligence without even knowing it. The debate rages on about AI being a good, bad, a neutral tool to be used properly, or something else. A chatbot interacts with user input and can provide conversations. Many search engines incorporate AI features and resemble chatbots in how they answer a search query or basic question, then continue in a conversational way if a user requests it. I asked about Viking shield-maidens and received several supporting links, such as this one . AI-generated infant with robot, Pixabay / AiCanvas A fun illustration before I continue with why AI can be a problem for students. A spell back, I saw an AI-generated Viking song that was rather well done, and I took a screenshot of the warrior woman from this clip  where she is looking somber. (Another version gives her a lovely smile .) The AI screenshot was cluttered with captions, so I had another AI take them out. I put the picture in a frame at PhotoFunia...

Just the other day, Ruby Slippers asked me if I had heard anything from Stormie Waters Meadows and Roland Meadows after their recent nuptials. We discussed the brief letters each of us had received. For some reason, the conversation wandered to polar bears. Ruby told me that way back when, Vikings sometimes caught, transported, and gifted them . Quite a task, and the recipient would have to feed and house them. She also informed me that they can swim for mighty long distances. Polar bear ready to be a polo bear, made with Bing AI Image Generator Folks get all a-twitter about global warming, and they think that sea life around the Arctic will suffer. Scientists say (oh, boy, here we go) that the number of polar bears is declining and they will go extinct. As climate change alarmists are wont to do, they downplay or even leave out important facts. F'rinstance, the numbers of polar bears are variable. Also, they are currently increasing . Then there's the recent study of the genom...

Darwin's disciples often insist that the origin of life has nothing to do with evolution, the two are separate concepts. So, abiogenesis — life from non-life, also called chemical evolution — has nothing to do with dust-to-Doctor-Doom evolution. Actually, they want creationists to give them a boost over that hurdle. Meanwhile, there is a great deal of research happening on the origin of life. Much of the research involves torturing the evidence until it "supports" the latest narrative of evolutionists. Dr. James Tour, an Intelligent Design supporter, says they are clueless about the origin of life . The tales told are convoluted because one thing leads to another. Secularists have to go back to their creation myths and a molten Earth, then stumble forward through time. If evidence could speak, it might say, "Yes, but..." numerous times. Facts interrupt the stories, and more stories are developed, the OoL history keeps getting rewritten in the name of science. Th...

As mentioned previously , scientists have claimed to follow where the evidence leads  — as if evidence was a person. (Even so, we know what they mean.) However, many are unwilling to reach certain conclusions based on evidence because they dislike them. Dr. Richard Lewontin admitted that he believes in evolution despite  the evidence . Others have done the same. Once again we see that the narrative takes priority, and that is based on a materialistic worldview. Notice that respected evolutionists do not debate science with qualified biblical creation scientists. Black-eyed Susan and Coneflower, Unsplash / Cowboy Bob Sorensen (modified at PhotoFunia ) It is my contention that materialism and atheism are incoherent, inconsistent, and unliveable. Beauty is not utilitarian. Love, compassion, wonder, hatred, and a host of other aspects of the spirit exist and atheists use them despite their worldviews . With worldviews come presuppositions; people may deny it, but everyone has the...
