Science Fiction, Extraterrestrials, and Creation

Image
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...

Astrobiology Defying Science and Logic

Image
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...

Proofs of Evolution are Lacking

Image
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...

The Irrational Hype over Extraterrestrials

Image
Atheists and other evolutionists have their invisible friends, clinging to them by faith, not evidence. The belief in extraterrestrials is based on blind faith springing from evolutionary presuppositions. "Lookit all them stars, there's gotta be life, I tellya." Not a peep, which is the Fermi Paradox . Yes, a passel of planets beyond our solar system has been discovered. Those exoplanets are not helpful, and are even harmful  to secular theories . Astrobiologists (there is no astro to biologize, a fake job) depend on planets being found in the Goldilocks Zone. Darwin dancing with space alien in pale moonlight made at  Bing AI , edited at  cleanup.pictures This Goldilocks Zone draws its name from the fairy tale involving three bears: A planet's orbit cannot be too hot or too cold, it must be just right. Then evolutionists hope and pray to their puny gods that abiogenesis occurred out yonder , thereby negating the Creator. Isn't that stupid? It is even worse because...

Pangaea and Geology Failings

Image
In the beginning, secular version, there was nothing — which exploded. Cosmic expansion and that sort of thing happened. Eventually, hot swirling gasses coalesced and formed the sun and planets. This story is the nebular hypothesis , which is full of holes but they like it better than alternatives. Geologists in the secular science industry named their early time of Earth the Hadean Eon . That is based on the name of Hell (Luke 16:23, Rev. 20:13) and the Greek god of the underworld, Hades. Earth was supposedly cooling and the first crust was forming. Erupting volcano, Wikimedia Commons / National Park Service (PD) Continental plates — those slabs of rock underneath — bump into each other, push down, also causing earthquakes, volcanoes, and all that good stuff. This activity was supposed to give the chemical "fingerprint" seen in continents. Now secularists say the fingerprint was there all along — from creation, but they won't admit that part. Geological evolution fails ...

Evolution Breaking Science Laws

Image
A common charge leveled against biblical creationists is that we deny science, but even a cursory examination of our material puts that lie to rest. (Someone said that we deny bad  science, which is true.) Notice that this accusation seems to only appears in discussions of origins. Such people act like atheists and believers in universal common descent are the ones who truly believe science, but the secular science industry uses deception and outright fraud to promote the current version of Darwin's Victorian myth. We need to keep the pressure on them . Crime scene tape and people, Unsplash / Joshua Coleman Evolutionists often defy laws of logic, such as insisting evidence only fits their  proposals, suppressing facts, redefining words, and more. Indeed, some seem to be trying to make their own "laws" without scientific due process . There are also major areas that evolution itself is used in attempts to circumvent established scientific laws. Those include the Law of Bio...

No Life Arrived from Outer Space

Image
Chemical evolution, abiogenesis, life from non-life — whatever it is called, it cannot happen . Although some denizens of the secular science industry try to keep the faith, most admit that life cannot occur all by its lonesome. They gave the problem to their invisible imaginary friends, the space aliens. Except there is no evidence that they exist, let alone, evolved. Atheists and other evolutionists believe that abiogenesis had to happen somewhere. Mayhaps aliens evolved and put life on Earth. No evidence, though. A look at regular panspermia is in order. Meteor, Pixabay / OpenClipart-Vectors (modified at PhotoFunia ) Evolutionists want us to spot them some "gimmes," such as evolution actually happening and that abiogenesis (that I keep banging the drum about) happened. For the sake of discussion, let's give them a simple life form that somehow got into a meteor or other rock in space. It would have to find the only planet capable of supporting life (ours) and survive...

Smelly Sign of Life on K2-18b?

Image
Several years ago, astronomers thought exoplanet K2-18b would be a good candidate for life because of its atmosphere. Then the negative aspects were considered. One of these is that it has an orbit of thirty-three days around a red dwarf star. That makes for extreme temperature ranges. The James Webb Space Telescope was used to detect dimethyl sulfide. This is thought to only come from life, so it is labeled as a biosignature . It is an odoriferous gas produced on Earth by algae and by humans to some extent. Too much is dangerous to us. Artist concept, exoplanet K2-18 b, NASA, CSA, ESA, et al. (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) A problem for secularists is that dimethyl sulfide is not  only produced by living things. That means it's not necessarily a biosignature. There are numerous assumptions made about life on K2-18b, including abiogenesis and evolution. (Some reports that will probably be forgotten soon after their self-humiliation, lying  that ...

Silence of the Space Aliens and Dimming Hopes

Image
Today is the anniversary of the first human in space, the Soviet Union sent Yuri Gagarin on an orbit of Earth that lasted 108 minutes. Nikita Khrushchev did not know that Yuri was secretly a Christian  living in that atheistic regime. While there was science and technology involved, the flight had goals that were primarily for military and propaganda value. Of course, the USSR believed in evolution, but they were probably not concerned with finding extraterrestrial life — certainly not like obsessive secularists later. Cranky Alien image furnished by Why?Outreach The space aliens are still screaming silence . Secularists are sure of abiogenesis somewhere, sometime, so alien civilizations must have evolved. These scientists are offering speculations that smack of desperation, even saying that a null result still shows hope. (No, Skippy, it shows nothing.) If a bacterium was found on Mars, these jaspers would be ecstatic, but they would have to prove that it was native to Mars. ...

Life and Planetary Habitability — Working Two Ways?

Image
It looks like requirements for habitability on extrasolar planets are getting more complicated, even mystical. The planetary habitable zone concept was simple, where water was a must , the right kind of star, proper distance from it, and a few others to make the Goldilocks Zone. Not only are hopes of finding lucky planets in that zone dimming , there is speculation that for a planet to be able to support life, it must have life. Sounds like the concept is folding in on itself, but it is being considered. HD 149026b (Smertrios),  NASA  / JPL-Caltech / T. Pyle (SSC) (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Study on it a spell: Living things have an impact on their environments. (For example, beavers help ecosystems and supposed climate change . Also, creatures under the ground have tremendous effects.) Researchers examined the energy that critters produce, which is significant — and it was from a limited number. Someone wondered if the need for an ecosystem is an ar...

SETI Non-Progress Report

Image
While it has been discussed at length that believers in atoms-to-alien evolution have an incoherent worldview, they do try to live it. (Of course, morality and such cannot be rationally explained by atheistic materialism, so they have to draw from the Christian worldview.) Study on it a spell and see that evolutionists believe that the Big Bang ultimately gave rise to life (“You are star stuff, and to star stuff you will return," said Carl Sagan). Other stars had alien races evolve, so we should be able to detect them. Person under starry sky, Pixabay / Gerd Altmann (geralt) Many organizations and individuals around the globe have been interested in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and NASA is one of those. They even have an astrobiology section, though there is no astro to biologize — no alien life to study. NASA had a SETI section that had its government funding cut, restored, cut, then funded through private contributions. The beginning listeners for alien signals ...

Permissive Earth Makes Evolution Easier?

Image
Recent speculations by minerals-to-magician evolutionists display tenacity, but precious little in the way of science. A new story is...truly bizarre. Remember how evolution is supposed to be without purpose?  In addition, it is not an easy thing to accomplish. We have seen that abiogenesis (chemical evolution) is essentially impossible. But it, and also evolution, are two of many presuppositions made by Darwin's acolytes. Add in teleology and pantheism, and suddenly evolution is not so difficult after all — especially after Earth's environment reached a permissive state. Nebula W51,  NASA  / JPL-Caltech (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Apparently, Earth is an entity. Well, only entities can have desires, make choices, work toward goals, and all that good stuff. This would have also happened all over the universe. Although astrobiologists get paid for studying nonexistent alien life, they're confident it exists. Further, it supposedly has evolved and pr...

Abiogenesis and the Silence of the Space Aliens

Image
In their continuing mission to prop up Charlie's Victorian myth, Darwin's disciples are boldly dancing with space aliens in the pale moonlight. That may seem edgy and adventurous, but no aliens are available for dancing — or anything else. All the tax money spent in efforts to find intelligent life on strange new worlds... but none has been found. A survey taken of astrobiologists shows that most believe it must  exist. They have a vested interest, getting paid for studying nonexistent entities. Someone should tell  DOGE about this waste of money . Children watching alien spaceship, Pixabay /  Stefan Keller From a secular perspective, these astronomers and such don't know any better. Although abiogenesis (chemical evolution, life from non-life) is shown to be impossible , they presuppose that it happened anyway. Just not on Earth. Also, they play by numbers based on assumptions: So many stars that would have worlds, the odds are in favor of them having intelligent life. ...

Ten Million Reasons to Show Abiogenesis

Image
No, abiogenesis — chemical evolution — has not, and cannot  be scientifically demonstrated. Thanks for reading. Good day. Okay, you want a mite more. People calculate astronomical odds against life coming from non-life , and it has been proven to be impossible , some atheists and other evolutionists still cling to that absurd hope. Dr. James Tour challenged secularists to answer some origin of life (OoL) questions. They did not answer . Also, there is a $10 million dollar prize waiting for someone to meet the standard and become comfortably well-off. Taken from public domain images  here  and  here , then heavily modified The ID article featured below made grandiose claims about the importance of abiogenesis happening. However, even if it was demonstrated, it would only show that it was made possible in that prize-winning instance. Pull back the reins on that pony and slow down, Hoss! Many questions would then be raised. Also, the same unethical secular science indus...

More Problems for Life in Rings of Saturn

Image
The secular science industry desperately wants life to exist elsewhere in the universe, but those who believe this  walk by faith, not by science . Despite lack of evidence, huge amounts of money are spent to see if anything can be found supporting their speculations. Darwin's Flying Monkeys™ on teh interwebs insist that the origin of life is separate from evolution, deliberately ignoring that the OoL is also known as chemical evolution or abiogenesis. Life supposedly evolved from dead things and some organic chemicals, and the search is on out yonder in the rings of Saturn. Saturn image: NASA / JPL / STScI (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Secularists do not get a freebie on the origin of life so they can build from there. That's why so many scientists are working on the problem. Saturn's rings have a few of the components necessary for life, but no useable water. Time is vitally important in particles-to-planetologist evolution, and those rings (some of...

Dancing with Space Aliens in the Pale Moonlight

Image
The other day, Lisa Myworries, the Winkie Guards supervisor from the Darwin Ranch, stopped by my place to discuss some Darwin doubts that she dared not say at work. At one point, she blurted that there were so many stars, there just had to be other planets with life on them. Then she suddenly asked, "So where are they?" Darwin's disciples are dancing with space aliens in the pale moonlight, it is important to prop up Charlie's Victorian myth. All of alien speculation is based on naturalistic presuppositions and assumptions. Darwin dancing with space alien in pale moonlight, made at Bing AI , edited at cleanup.pictures What Lisa was doing was expressing a common thought: Space is so big, it simply must have intelligent life out yonder. (Many Christians think the Creator did not stop with us, but that idea is theologically unsound.) In addition, she indirectly brought in the Fermi Paradox. One big reason for secularists to want to find extraterrestrials is that they thi...

James Tour and Lee Cronin on the Origin of Life

Image
Darwin skeptic Dr. James Tour has been in the news related to Intelligent Design lately, quite probably because he is a brilliant scientist and outspoken Christian. He issued a challenge to ten origin-of-life researchers , but not one rose to accept it. A few months back, he had a debate with atheopath Dave Farina. It did not go well. Farina is abusive and irrational, and Dr. Tour also got excited but was not offensive . Something similar happened with Drs. Tour and Cronin. My Pond-Full-o-Algae photo modified at PhotoFunia In a pair of articles by Casey Luskin, we learn that Dr. Lee Cronin agreed to have a public discussion with Dr. Tour. Apparently Cronin was civil, he still managed to say things that were untrue about Tour, and he spent a quite a bit of time focusing on his opponent rather than dealing with the science. James talked about origin-of-life science and its tremendous problems, but Lee seems to have avoided the subject for the most part. There was a recent exchange at The...

Cyanide on Enceladus Causes Evolutionary Imaginings of Life

Image
There are several kinds of cyanides used in various industrial applications , and it is present in many of the foods we eat. Low levels, of course. People have heard of cyanide in spy movies and such. In the correct form and concentration, cyanides are deadly. Believers in abiogenesis love it. Life from non-life has been disproved for a very long time, but Darwin's disciples desperately cling to the hope that it happened out yonder in space. Cyanide was invoked as something on the early earth to make abiogenesis possible. It exists on Enceladus. South polar region of Enceladus, NASA / JPL / Space Science Institute (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) The discovery of this poison on a moon of Saturn has evolutionists all a-twitter, but there is no valid scientific reason for the excitement. Cyanide is only useful according to evolutionary storytelling, not actual science. Some of the mania expressed by some scientists and the propaganda outlets is amazing. It's ...

Secularists Make Excuses for No Space Aliens

Image
Lisa Myworries, supervisor of the Winkie Guards at the Darwin Ranch, recently mentioned having problems. Someone on the staff was selling peyote buttons to the Guards. She said it was difficult enough to keep them on task, then someone gets that stuff to them. The ranch hands hallucinate, which explains some of their Just-So Stories in the name of evolutionary science. Space aliens are the imaginary invisible friends of secularists, and both the ranch hands and the Guards think they are talking to the aliens. Scientists studying space alien, made with Bing AI Image Creator It is a reasonable conclusion that materialists put so much time, money, and effort into finding extraterrestrial life is that they believe it would prove not only evolution, but also a Creator-free origin of life. Think about it: Origin of life studies are not going forward; they are disjointed. Mayhaps someone should ask Dave Farina why their is no unity and so much failure in OoL research. All that wasted educati...

Why James Tour Lost the Origins Debate to Dave Farina

Image
by Cowboy Bob Sorensen Edited for wording 23 February 2025  Something that keeps getting slipped over the transom in my study is news about Dr. James Tour. He is a professor of several things including chemistry at Rice University, and friendly with the Discovery Institute, an Intelligent Design organization. He makes Darwin sad by refuting claims of materialists on the origin of life. No, I refuse to accept the claims of Darwin's acolytes on social(ist) media and elsewhere that the OoL has nothing to do with evolution, as that claim has been handily refuted many times over. Background image by Cowboy Bob Sorensen , photos from James Tour's YouTube post, then modified* Dave Farina considers himself an educator on science topic and has made good use of the popularity of YouTube. His channel is Professor Dave Explains . (People can give themselves whatever name they want in their channels, but in science and academia, claiming titles like doctor or professor is akin to stolen val...
