This is probably one of those things you may have seen, but cannot remember the five-syllable word for it. Some creatures absorb light (usually ultraviolet or blue) and then give it out again as a different color. The expensive word for this is biofluorescence . It occurs in many organisms. Researchers concluded that biofluorescence evolved independently over 100 times. That is a popular miracle and rescuing device in the secular science industry called convergent evolution . Since Darwin's disciples cannot explain how something evolved once, they obscure it with quantities. Aequorea victoria (crystal jellyfish), Wikimedia Commons / Sierra Blakely The researchers studied teleost fishes. Supposedly, they had a prairie-schooner full of evolutionary changes for biofluorescence. The empirical evidence? Nuffin. They used evolution to demonstrate evolution — highly illogical, Captain. Mathematical models look good on paper, but are based on presuppositions. The most logical conclusion wa...

For many years, science fiction and space fantasy themes have been around. They have greatly increased on the scene and silver screen over the years and have become very profitable. Comic book mutant stories can be considered science fiction, but there is an abundance of space alien stories. In the book Alien Intrusion — UFOs and the evolution connection , Gary Bates delves into the history of UFOs (now called UAPs) as well as science fiction. Although he does not believe that extraterrestrials exist, like many of us, still likes Star Trek  and other science fiction. Alien spacecraft over city, Pixabay / Secoura The genre is a means of making all sorts of social commentary. Some is called speculative fiction . Rod Serling used The Twilight Zone  to make all sorts of points under the guise of supernatural and science fiction stories. Many authors and movie makers have done the same. Herbert George Wells wrote The War of the Worlds , published in 1898. He took the fascination pe...

Every once in a while, a fundamentalist evolutionist will assert that the fossils are in order, showing primitive to advanced life forms. The most likely reasons for stating this are ignorance or dishonesty. That is because knowledgeable evolutionists are well aware that the fossil record is disrupted. Indeed, in Origin of Species , the Bearded Buddha himself lamented that the fossil record is incomplete and that transitional forms are missing. Unfortunately, when celebrities like Bill Nye the Propaganda Guy spread falsehoods, evolution believers tend to accept them without question. Trilobyte fossils, Freeimages /  Dave Dyet Non-scientist Nye made that assertion in the 2014 debate with Ken Ham. Bill is not a scientist, let alone, a paleontologist. Obviously, non-scientists make assertions, but such a strong claim should be examined by thinking people. Some wonder why Ham did not respond to that claim, but I suspect that since Nye was doing elephant hurling and the debate was nor f...

Although many materialists treat science as a religion, it is actually a philosophy — a way of conducting searches to find certain truths about the world. Materialists assume that physical things such as molecules and atoms are all that exist, but there is no God. Materialists use their presuppositions to advance their secular worldview. When they cannot back up their claims, they fudge it and employ escape hatches (rescuing devices). Notice how Darwinists say that something emerged  but let the statement itself serve as evidence. Aircraft escape hatch at Kasuga Air Base, Wikimedia Commons / Hunini ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) Something supposedly emerged according to evolution. How did it emerge? What caused it? People who want their biases confirmed are willing to settle for stories and bland assertions, but they are unwilling to consider that evidence can be better interpreted to show that something "emerged" because it was created. Faced with conundrums posed by the origin of the un...

Materialists have their invisible friends, which are space aliens. They even created a fake science to study them and called it astrobiology . Except that there is no astro to biologize. That is (this may come as a shock), there are no space aliens. The whole philosophy is based on chasing shadows. This stuff is based on abiogenesis, where life supposedly came from non-life. (Many claim that abiogenesis has nothing to do with evolution, which is false; it is also called chemical evolution .) Abiogenesis is to be a given, then evolution stories commence from there. Mars,  NASA  / JPL-Caltech (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Secular scientists reject the Creator, but know that the origin of life cannot be explained on Earth, so they outsource the problem to space aliens. Life evolved, and it must have originated out yonder. Some of the stories they tell deserve Ig Nobel Prizes  because they defy logic and should be laughed away instead of published in ser...

While the Creator may very well have designed creatures to be pleasing to the eye, "cuteness" is subjective on our parts. We like when a kitty purrs, and may be surprised that some of their huge wild cousins also purr. But big and little cats are predators that hunt and kill. Aww, look at the cute chimpanzee! He is smiling! When an adult chimp is smiling, it is showing its teeth and thinking about violently ending you. That is why baby chimps are dressed up and ride tricycles, which seems to be abusive. Lion eating a zebra, Unsplash / Leon Pauleikhoff Atheists will take examples of predation, venom, and other unpleasantness in nature to say that if God exists, he made awful creatures. Meanwhile, death is a hero to evolution because the more fit take the place of the less fit. They do not want to get the full story from God's perspective. In the beginning, everything was very good. Sin entered the picture, and things went downhill quickly. As much as we love to sing about...

Everywhere we turn, Darwinism is assumed to be true. People even make up their own fake truths to seem all sciency and stuff. A video made an assertion about behavior being based on caveman days. The claim was unsubstantiatable, and when I called out the video maker on the false claim, a fundamentalist evolutionist railed at me that evolution is the best supported fact of science. Indeed, many people claim evolution is a proven fact — showing their ignorance of how science works. Algae pond near Hurley, NY, Unsplash / Cowboy Bob Sorensen (modified) "That's a pretty bold statement, Cowboy Bob!" No, not really. Things that have been considered scientific facts have been removed many times. What science does quite well is disprove  things. Also, there are scientists who admit that particles-to-planetologist evolution has many problems. F'rinstance, since abiogenesis (the secularist origin of life) violates the law of biogenesis and cannot be explained, evolutionists try...

A fossil from Scotland named  Westlothiana lizziae received press because it supposedly represents an ancestor for many tetrapods, but the claim has major problems. For one thing, it cannot be supported in paleontology. Secularists blind the public with science, and people think that evolutionists are clever. W. lizziae  was not given a precise age before, but Darwin's disciples were able to massage data and make assumptions to get an age that they wanted. It now lands in a hole in the fossil record. Old Man of Storr, Portree, UK, Unsplash / Diane Rish This hole is called Romer's Gap, where in allegedly millions of years, few fossils are found. (Apparently Darwin's Flying Monkeys™ who frequent social(ist) media and say that there are no gaps in the fossil record have not heard of this.) The transitional form is nowhere near complete, and the dating is forced into the desired place. An allegedly vital piece of animal evolution was first discovered in 1984 in Scotland. Conve...

Although humans are classified as animals ( which is biblically untenable ), it is useful in scientific ways. To use self-serving rhetoric used by atheists and other evolutionists and claim that we are "just" animals is quite ridiculous. Biblical creationists have been pointing out notable differences for many years. Some things we do that are not found in animals are composing symphonies, painting detailed art, sculpture, writing, nuanced language, photography, and more. Many of those things are aspects of creativity  — which is an aspect of the Designer (Romans 1:20). Picture of picture taking apparatus, Unsplash / Cowboy Bob Sorensen Materialists appeal to naturalism and exclude anything supernatural, especially God, then think their belief system is "reality." (Ironic that their reality cannot come from from the science they claim to uphold). Creativity seems to originate in the imagination. Where is that  located in the body? Most secularists deny the existence...

It is winter in these parts, and that means cold temperatures, ice, and snow. On a snowy day, I saddled up and rode into town for some supplies. As I was in the general store, my prospector friend Stormy Waters and her friend Ruby Slippers burst through the door, brushing the snow from their jackets. We talked while they shopped. Ruby does not mind the weather, but Stormy wants it to go away and have greener things come back to life. While I feel the same as Stormy, I have become stoical about it and endure winter. Winter trees in snow, Pexels / Jeffrey Czum , modified at PhotoFunia Ancient pagan cultures celebrated the arrival of spring, which meant the return of life. Or so they thought. What those folks could not know is that there is an abundance of life in winter. Do you really want to eat snow? Yes, it is frozen water vapor, but there are living things in it! When it comes to the seasons, we often associate life with spring, not winter. Depending on where you live, winter brings ...

Every once in a while, a documentary about deep time or someone in the secular science industry talks about an extinction event . According to many mainstream scientists, catastrophic events led to the extinctions of major life forms. Extinction events are important to their paradigm. One of those is the story of the huge rock that fell out of the sky that was the Chicxulub impact. It was instrumental in dinosaur extinction and is taken as a tenet of evolution — but saturated with problems . There were supposedly five extinction events in the distant past. Credit:  NASA  (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Now we're supposedly in the sixth  extinction event. Surprise! It's being caused by humans, because humans are bad and there are too many of us. (A few of these secular sidewinders are calling for the extermination of multitudes of people .) The first five of these supposed extinction events are rescuing devices for gaps in geologic information — which a...

It is very interesting to watch how space probes have developed over the years, with New Horizons  being extremely impressive. Consider that timing and trajectory had to be precise so it could do its flyby of Pluto after a trip of 9-1/2 years. New Horizons sent back quite a bit of information. Regular readers of this and other sites by biblical creationists have seen how information from Pluto and its five moons has frustrated deep time expectations. It was revealed that the moon Charon had features baffling to mainstream scientists . Charon, moon of Pluto, NASA / JHUAPL / SwRI (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Just a brief ride on a side trail here. There has been a Greek mythology thing happening, as Pluto was their god of the underworld. The dead were taken across the river Styx (I betcha thought Styx meant "middle of nowhere") which is the name of another of Pluto's moons. Charon in mythology is pronounced with a hard K sound, and is the Styx ferrym...

An icon of minerals-to-meteorologist evolution is the Neanderthal, which was portrayed as a hulking brute. Stupid, too, since it still had some of its apelike ancestor in its nature. Some folks still believe that image and call someone a Neanderthal as an insult. As extensive documentation reveals , Neanderthals were intelligent and creative. Evolutionists were forced to admit that Neanderthals were fully human. Indeed, their DNA is found in most population groups (but is rare in sub-Saharan groups). A controversy remains: Where did they go? Image cropped and enhanced, original: Flickr /  Clemens Vasters  ( CC BY 2.0 ) Since they were fully human and freely shared their DNA , they most likely did not go extinct. Instead, they probably assimilated. We have met the Neanderthal, and he is us. Lonely Neanderthal boy sees a group of modern humans and is attracted to a woman. Next thing you know, they married up and he is a part of that clan. That's because they were created, not ev...

Although many people reject the Bible in its entirety, most attacks on it involve the first eleven chapters of Genesis. Biblical creationists present apologetics in both theology and various sciences regarding recent creation and the global Flood. Another subject that gets attacked is the tower of Babel. Many folks know the basics of the tower of Babel, but there is a bigger picture involved. (Again we see the importance of reading the context.) It was not that God was angry because people built a big tower.  People were in rebellion against God's command to spread out. Tower of Babel  by Lucas van Valckenborch, 1594 While the Bible is an excellent historical record, I'll allow that details going so far back are a bit sparse. Even so, there is corroborating evidence from historical records and archaeology. The various languages testify to the dispersion at Babel. Study on this a spell: Think of "telephone game." You know, where someone has a description, quietly tells...

It is not uncommon for Bible deniers to find excuses to justify their rebellion, but some go further and machinate alleged contradictions and absurdities. These are usually framed as "Gotcha!" statements and questions. They occasionally raise questions that some believers also want answered. One tinhorn, geology professor Ian Plimer, wrote a (now out of print) book called Telling Lies for God: Reason vs Creationism . Aside from the clear bias, he made himself a liar and CMI set the record straight . Jimmy Li has a resource refuting hundreds  of such claims . Then there are bats as birds? Flying fruit bat, Flickr /  Tambako The Jaguar  ( CC BY-ND 2.0 ) While many of the items in the above references can be attributed to superficiality, carelessness, and lack of doing some homework, others take a bit more digging. Darwin's Flying Monkeys™ on the internet exhibit an attitude like, "Haw, haw, haw! We're supposed to believe your Bible, but it says that bats are birds!...

The subject of near-death experiences (NDEs) is highly controversial, but has been fascinating people for many years. One reason scientists have difficulty examining them is because they are extremely subjective. Also, there is a variety of experiences. Some people see light and a voice they attribute to God or an angel that tells them it is not yet time, go back. Others experienced terror. Many lives have been changed, but not always for the better and they need counseling. Those who went to a happy place resent coming back; their infirmities still exist. Spirit, light, and clouds, Pixabay / Gerd Altmann (geralt) Medically, some NDEs can be dismissed as hallucinations because the brain goes into special functions. There are times when people in the midst of an NDE returned and described people, conversations, and more that they could not have known about. The idea of giving counseling to NDE experiencers (especially to those who have challenges to their worldviews) involves materiali...

The prevalent myth of the secular science industry for the origin of the universe is commonly called the Big Bang, which is buggy. Even so, believers in dust-to-dictator evolution support it. This is most likely because the work of the Creator is contrary to their paradigms. Angry atheists on teh interwebs are ignorant of (or unwilling to admit) that there are scientists, both conventional and creationists, who reject the Big Bang. Indeed, it has been frequently Frankensteined by adding inflation and other faith-based concepts to keep it looking respectable. Image credit:  NASA , ESA, M. J. Jee and H. Ford et al. (Johns Hopkins Univ)  (Usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) There are proofs offered by its advocates, but they are not very compelling; the Big Bang is not the only way to interpret what has been observed. Regular readers have seen several instances that the James Webb Space Telescope has provided evidence contrary to the expectations of cosmic evoluti...

As discussed previously, Intelligent Design is a movement that is decidedly not biblical creation science . Evolutionists (especially atheists) on social(ist) media do not seem to have received the memo, thus telling the opposite of the truth. They also spread myths about the Dover ruling. One tinhorn left a comment on a post that the ruling devastated ID both legally and scientifically, but he clearly did not know what he was talking about. Study on it a spell: How can science be settled by a judge — and a biased one at that? Flagellum base diagram, Wikimedia Commons / LadyofHats (public domain) Dr. Michael Behe's presentation of irreducible complexity (where all of the parts need to be in place and functioning from the get-go) was ridiculed, but the bacterial flagellum is irreducibly complex nonetheless . Since 2005, that fact has only been reinforced. Although Dr. Behe came up with the term, biblical creationists have been using irreducible complexity arguments for quite some ...

My unregistered assault keyboards are ready to face the challenges of 2026, so brace yourselves. On this calendar change day, we have an interesting analysis of how secularists insist that the similarity between human and chimpanzee DNA is around ninety-eight percent. (They still do this even though that number has been disproved by both creationist and secular scientists .) It is needed by the human evolution story for when humans and chimps supposedly diverged — a larger percentage difference makes the timeframe useless for them. Human-Chimpanzee DNA, made at  Night Cafe , then  removebg Although many do not like to admit it, the idea of ninety-eight to ninety-nine percent similarity is based on bad sequencing in the early days, and contaminated samples . Even so, the myth marched on because it suited their story. That's not science, old son. The author of the article linked below takes an interesting approach by comparing the best-understood organism, E. coli . Yes, a singl...

Large numbers of honey bees are dying off, and it is not just a case of, "Bugs die, so what?" Mount up, ride to the top of the hill, and get the big picture. Living things have their ecological niches, and honey bees are important to many other organisms — including humans. They are the most important pollinators to the survival of many kinds of plants, and they produce honey and beeswax that are important for humans. Flowers attract the bees in a mutually-beneficial relationship. This presents one of several problems for evolutionists. Honey Bees in honeycomb, Pixabay /  PollyDot Bees need pollen to survive, plants produce pollen and need honey bees for its distribution. But according to the evolution story, they did not exist at the same time. Darwinists say wasps existed at that time and honey bees came later. However, there is no compelling evidence to support that concept. Indeed, the evolution of insects which suddenly appeared in the fossil record is also problematic. ...
