Culture is attempting to influence biological realities, but some things cannot be wished away. As of August 14, 2026, the WNBA cannot define what a woman is . Meanwhile, men who "identify" as women want to play in that women's league. Other people, including a Supreme Court justice, refuse to say what defines a woman. My doctor's office has a form that wants to know what gender I was assigned at birth . If they kowtow to reality-denying culture, I wonder if my medical care is in jeopardy! The differences between men and women exist and are important. Adam and Eve before the Temptation / George Frederick Watts Interesting that this gender stuff was mostly unknown for thousands of years, but has been accelerating recently. It is plain to see that men and women are wired differently. That is, we think and feel in different manners and have different internal chemistry. That remark I made about getting proper medical care because the doctor's office buys into the po...

Way, way up on the Tibetan Plateau is the Tibetan Snow Lotus. Of course, after China invaded Tibet in 1950, they have even influenced language; it is better known as Snow Lotus or even Chinese Snow Lotus. Or use the scientific name ( Saussurea laniceps ). There are different varieties of this flower. People who can brave the rarefied air go up there and pick this endangered flower for various reasons. The most popular is that it is useful in Chinese folk medicine. While there is scientific evidence that it can treat rheumatoid arthritis, human tests seem nonexistent. Icy Tibetan Snow Lotus ( Saussurea gossypiphora ), Wikimedia Commons / Prateek ( CC BY-SA 2.5 IN ) Because people are picking these flowers, Darwin's disciples are claiming that since the lotus is now growing shorter, we see evolution in action. Not hardly! What we have is something that may be called natural selection (if you can call people picking flowers and driving them to extinction "natural"). There i...

One of the problems in descent with modifications evolution is that it is pervasive, with outdated ideas still used. I occasionally see videos that make evolutionary assertions that have no basis in fact. A couple of these on psychology referred to the lizard (or reptile) brains of humans. The idea of humans having a triune brain with a lizard at the base is fundamentally flawed in several ways. One of these is lack of evidence. Another problem is that since it fit the narrative so well, evolutionists seemed to just plug it in. MacLean's Triune Brain concept, WikiComm / Lchunhori ( CC BY-SA 2.5 ), modified at PhotoFunia The three-part brain concept, underpinned by a lizard brain, was set forth by  Paul D. MacLean. He was a respected neuroscientist. His status and authority may have been part of the reason the story was easily accepted.  Also, it was firmly rooted not only in the assumption of evolution, but also strongly based on Haeckel's fraudulent embryo drawings . Fraud, ...

In southeastern Utah is a nice spread of 337,598 acres called Canyonlands National Park, hosting canyons (obviously), spires, and buttes. Conventional uniformitarian geology says that rivers carved the canyons of millions of Darwin years. Evidence is against Grand Canyon being carved by the Colorado River , and similar logic applies here. Secularists evosplain that the pancake-like layers that are seen were made by a series of deserts over vast amounts of time. However, deserts today do not act like those supposedly did in the distant unobserved past. Canyonlands National Park by Matthew Dillon at Flickr ( CC BY 2.0 ) There are thousands of canyons on this here planet Earth. Biblical creationists see a great deal of evidence not only against the conventional views, but in favor of the Genesis Flood in Grand Canyon and at Canyonlands. Were any of the other canyons made slowly? Mayhaps some, but most had to be done by a lot of water in a little bit of time, not a little bit of water...

There is a mystery, a paradox, regarding death and the Bible. Originally, everything was created very good  and death is an interloper. When Adam sinned, death entered the world (Rom. 5:12). It is the last enemy and will be destroyed (1 Cor. 15:26). Death was not used in God's creative process. Yet death is beneficial in some ways. The Creator implemented a kind of cleanup crew to take care of dead things and be nourished by them. Before the Genesis Flood, some folks lived 900 years but that drastically changed . Even cells are designed to die. Skull, flowers, and butterflies, Pixabay / Ron Hoekstra After the return of Jesus, death will be done away with. Many animals are designed to have short life spans. (I saw a video where a woman had a pet jumping spider, a creature that only lives a few months.) On the other hand, some critters live an astonishing number of years. Creation theologians should be able to answer this, but this child speculates that with the fall of man and the ...

While approaches to logical reasoning and some other areas in philosophy are useful, people can be so wrapped up in it that they become deceived. Some believe that Christianity is simply the development of ideas from Aristotle, and especially Plato. It has even been suggested that the Trinity came from their philosophies. This indicates ignorance of the Bible, including the Old Testament . However, a kind of trickle-down effect can be seen by philosophers on church fathers — and on Western culture today. Worldviews in our society, especially in Christianity, are markedly different from those philosophers. Plato, WikiComm / Leonidas Drosis ( photo by C messier ), ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ), cross added from Clker clipart Consider if you will that Socratic Questioning is used today — and a form of it can be seen in Paul the Apostle, and when Jesus answered his critics. However, the Christian view of truth is very different from those of Socrates, Plato, and the gang . It may be surprising that som...

The common story about fossilization told by believers in universal common descent is, to be blunt, absurd even on the surface. In water, a critter dies, sinks to the bottom, gets covered by sediment, and becomes fossilized over many years. The Master Engineer made a cleanup crew that gets rid of the clutter, which includes scavengers, microorganisms, and so on. Owners of aquariums have seen that when a fish dies, it is often eaten by other fish. Scavenging and decomposition happen very quickly on land as well. Forensic toolkit and marked evidence, Pexels / cottonbro studio Television shows and movies about forensic science  have become very popular. This is the historical science where investigators use information in the present to reconstruct what may have happened in the past. Worldviews, presuppositions, evidence degradation, contamination and other things put limits on forensic science . The study of fossilization (as well as scientific views involving creation science, evol...

When I finished loading supplies into my buckboard, I noticed someone standing nearby. It was Lisa Myworries, supervisor of the Winkie Guards at the Darwin Ranch out yonder at Deception Pass. We talked a bit, then went into the town's best eatery for lunch. Like a couple of others at the ranch, Lisa has doubts about fish-to-farrier evolution but keeps mum —  she needs her job. She quietly mentioned the idea that dinosaurs evolved into birds is silly. She is correct, and the idea is unscientific and illogical. Feathered dinosaur assembled with components from Clker clipart, finished at PhotoFunia Everyone has a worldview by which they interpret and utilize what they observe in life. Charles Lyell, a lawyer by training who made geology his avocation, was an advocate for the slow and gradual processes of uniformitarianism. (That word was coined by a reviewer of his Principles of Geology  writings.) Liar Lyell opposed recent creation and the catastrophism of Genesis Flood geologi...

Darwin's acolytes are unable to accept the hand they have been dealt, so they deal from the bottom of the deck, mark cards, and essentially cheat up a storm. Soft tissues in dinosaur bones have given them apoplexy, so they try to make excuses and defy logic. Some even deny the facts, such as the existence of soft tissues. (One village evolutionist made a comment on a post about C-14 in dinosaur bones , "It's rare, which suggests contamination." In other words, "Nuh UH! I make up my own truth!") Hemoglobin is also a huge problem. Haemoblobin, Wikimedia Commons / Zephyris ( CC BY-SA 3.0 ) Secularists try to evosplain with scenarios that do not fit real-world data. Also, have you ever noticed that the age of the earth has dramatically increased over the years? Papa Darwin needs deep time his wonders to perform, and conventional scientists do their best to give them to him. However, deep time works against soft tissues, C-14, hemoglobin, and other things found ...

Biblical creationists have long used short-term comets as an argument against deep time, as they should no longer exist. Comets have long elliptical orbits, and when they near the sun, they light up as some of their material burns away. Astronomers figure they should only last about 20,000 years. While that amount of time is outside recent creation models, it is far outside conventional beliefs. Also, the Nebular Hypothesis has the solar system (including comets and such) forming from a swirling gas. Many comets travel opposite of the expected direction and angle. Comet image via Unsplash /  Tim Dennert Secularists have used the complex scientific principle of Making Things Up™ to rescue their stories. One is the Oort Cloud , a repository of comets and such way out yonder — which has no evidence for its existence. The Kuiper Belt of icy asteroids beyond the orbit of Neptune was proposed as a source of comets. Some objects were finally discovered. Does this solve the comet longevity...
