One aspect of science that could be considered to be fun, aside from all the hard work, is the thrill of learning new things — except when discoveries ruin evolution for the secular science industry. Whales have long been subjects of study, and new information about humpback whales has been found. The story goes that life came from non-life, things evolved in the sea, human ancestors are fish. Some critters flopped onto land and evolved to live there, but something like a bear decided life in the sea was better. That is where whales came from.

For that matter, the songs of humpback whales possibly contain sophisticated language ! Recent research indicates their songs may be supplemented by those slaps on the water to help communicate.

As people who have read or viewed creation science material know, the Genesis Flood is extremely important. One reason is that the Flood ruins uniformitarian (old Earth) geology. Scoffers dismiss it out of hand without learning even the basics of what is involved. Creationists have pointed out that there are questions raised in bad faith to trip up biblical creationists, but there are also people who sincerely want explanations. Today we examine two. The first is how Noah rounded up all those critters. The Animals Entering Noah's Ark , Jacopo Bassano ca. 1570 Noah saddled up a Compsognathus, put a cart behind it, made a lariat, and lassoed — "Don't be facetious, Cowboy Bob!" Actually, scoffers paint a similarly absurd picture through their prejudicial conjectures. When intelligently  debating opponents, it is necessary to learn their views and look for inconsistencies and logic flaws. Genesis 6:20, 7:8-9 tells us that the animals came to Noah at the Ark; they were gui...

Many years ago, I believed that UFOs were vessels for extraterrestrials. I read in a special-interest magazine remarks from an investigator who said they wanted to rule out natural phenomena before declaring something was a UFO. Similarly, many ghost investigators take that approach. Belief in such things aside, I commend them for not jumping at every chance to declare something is paranormal. An astrophysicist recommends that SETI folks pull on the reins and holler, "Whoa!" when they detect signals. After all, it may be another breakroom microwave oven . Parkes Radio Telescope, Flickr / Amanda Slater ( CC BY-SA 2.0 ) Interesting that the secular science industry believes in unguided chance-driven evolution, denying the much more logical conclusions of intelligent design by the Creator. Biblical creationists believe God is the First Cause of life, the universe, and everything, but creationist scientists want to know  how  he created; what makes things tick. Similarly, Intelli...

Out Colorado way, if you mount up and ride west of Denver and a bit north of Morrison, you can find Dinosaur Ridge. It is a part of the National Natural Landmarks program administered by the US National Park Service. National parks and monuments are owned by the government, but not NNLs. Main tracksite on Dinosaur Ridge, National Park Service (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) It is famous for exposed sediments revealing dinosaur trackways. These are the top part of the Dinosaur Freeway, which extends southward hundreds of miles. Mainstream scientists attribute the geologic activity to rivers and beaches. Take a walk on the beach. Pay attention to the tracks your feet leave in the wet sand. Notice that the waves come in and erase the tracks. It requires special conditions to fossilize tracks, and the geology of Dinosaur Ridge and the formations involved do not support mainstream uniformitarian ideas. Instead, there are numerous facts that point to creation science Gen...

Sometimes misotheists ask questions of biblical creationists in bad faith, but some Christians may sit back, watching and waiting for an answer. Sometimes people just want to know. One of these is: Where are human fossils from the global Genesis Flood? Interesting that Darwin's disciples challenge creationists, but they act like deep time and evolution are settled. The Flood left many obvious evidences, including fossils and geologic sequences that span continents, but since there are no known human fossils, creationists need to explain why not. Puzzled chimpanzee is puzzled, Pixabay (AI) / olenchic While it is reasonable to ask creationists to back up our claims with physical evidence, it's a mite disingenuous to ignore problems in evolution. Also, secularists need to be consistent. The overwhelming majority of fossils are marine organisms. Several expected types of creatures for the evolution story are poorly represented in the fossil record. Also, evolutionists have problems...

It is amazing how denizens of the secular science industry are looking to use artificial intelligence to advance evolution, yet they ignore the conflict in the theories. That is, particles-to-programmer evolution is supposedly a trial-and-error unguided process, but AI requires intelligent design. When robots work well to help us in highly repetitive or dangerous activities,  domo arigato  to them. But when they fail, it is often spectacular and possibly dangerous. Some secularists think AI robots can supplement or even replace humans. Robot tripping and falling, made at DeepAI — but I did not ask for three arms The field of biomimetics  is studying creatures in nature and attempting to apply their traits for human use. If you study on it, having robots walk, dance, and so on is an example of biomimetics. It takes intelligence and money to have them imitate or surpass some human activities. Centuries ago, I was going down some basement steps in my stocking feet. There we...

A proponent of stardust-to-psychologist evolution makes a statement, then it gets supported by terms like  scientists think , it could be ,  maybe , and other weasel words. No evidence though. The statement is then accepted by those with atheism spectrum disorder who call it science. Psychologists speculate about the evolution of religion (ignoring the fact that atheism is itself a religion ). Some are speculating that belief in gods is a function of the brain, but an existing part of the brain had to quickly evolve a religion section. No evidence though. Replica painting from the Chauvet cave, Wikimedia Commons / HTO (PD) A psychologist thinks he has evidence for this brain phenomenon. Deep-time presuppositions are fundamental, as human religious artifacts were dated tens of thousands of years ago. Plug in the assumption of atheism as a "default" position (never mind that children are born believing in God ) and biases appear to be confirmed. The real evidence shows that we...

Stevia Dolce, lead baker at the Darwin Ranch near Deception Pass, is not a fan of evolution. But she needs her job and keeps mum about her doubts around the ranch hands. Yesterday, when all my troubles seemed so far away, she visited me with a question. And a cheese Danish. "Sherwood Tellit was saying that if Noah's Ark was real, it would have gone up too high and everyone would have suffocated — why are you laughing? Don't choke on the Danish!" I swallowed, took a swig of coffee, and told her why. AI-generated Noah's Ark image, Pixabay /  dlsdkcgl This is one of the "Gotcha!" arguments made by atheists and other believers in deep time. For them, it is a scientific absurdity that the Ark was raised above the highest mountain peaks. There are mountains existing today where the summits are in the "death zone" because oxygen needs to be brought along. Flood deniers tend to ignore some basic science to make their accusations. They also ignore the t...

It is understandable for people to confuse sap with amber, as both are sticky and flow in trees. Sap is much thinner and transports nutrients within trees, while amber is found in cedar, pine, and other trees. It is much thicker and protects them from pests and damage. Several puzzlers were found in Japan regarding amber. It was found mixed with deep-water sediments, but the amber and sediments were on an island. The amber had varying thicknesses. Also found were tree trunks and other plant debris, plus other indicators of rapid deposition. Amber, Wikimedia Commons / Hannes Grobe ( CC BY-SA 2.5 ) To explain these things, uniformitarian researches speculate a cumbersome multi-step process involving several tsunamis washing debris to various points. Flood geologists from the Institute for Creation Research and others have more rational explanations. Yes, tsunamis were involved, but the Genesis Flood was extremely destructive with a great deal of water in a short time. A recent study pub...

People who have paid attention to history, and those who are curious about country name changes in Africa, may know that parts of Africa were claimed and divvied up by Europeans and the United States. British-controlled Nigeria became a kind of "see what happens" social experiment. The northern part of Nigeria was given control to a violent Islamist tribe called the Fulani. Apparently they were not really African, but lighter-skinned pillaging nomads. Those in charge were operating by Darwinian presuppositions and gave the Fulani control. It did not go well. Nigerian festival, Pexels / Darkshade Photos Social Darwinists were wrecking Northern Nigeria, and they heavily utilized the racism built into the Bearded Buddha's teachings. People were thought to be animals, were treated as such — and acted like they were. However, Christian governance further south was a different story. The area was prospering, and people were in leadership positions because of their skills, not b...
