Academia is a word that includes higher education, and often scientific research conducted in those institutions. One goes to these centers in hopes of becoming a scientist. Although some folks may try to deny it, many professors seek to destroy the faith of Christian students. Indeed, atheism is presumed in academia and the rest of the secular science industry — and this attitude is harmful to Christian students . The "war" between science and religion is fictitious, an atheistic construct. Many of the founders of modern science were not only Christians but also biblical creationists. Saugerties Dam, Esopus Creek in Saugerties, NY, Unsplash / Cowboy Bob Sorensen Because of their insistence on naturalism, secularists are choking scientific research. They try mighty hard to keep the Creator out of science, yet they are upset about misconduct in science . Well, researchers and scientists are simply being true to their worldview if cheating helps their survival fitness... Christ...

When some creationists post photos of the cobra-like images on the upper wings of the Atlas moth , it is not uncommon for a village atheist to react with derision: "Now I believe in yer gawd, haw, haw! St00pid Xian, it evolved. End of story." Yes, they do that kind of stuff. If this was a one-off example, it could easily be dismissed as a coincidence. Mimicry is surprisingly frequent. Insects can pose as dead leaves, sticks, and seem to have false heads at the tail-ends of wings. A predator nibbles, and the butterfly gets out of Dodge. Dead leaf butterfly, Wikimedia Commons / S herle123 ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) Researchers studied lycaenid butterflies. Over 900 species. Although the researchers sacrificed their minds to Darwin and paid him homage, they still had a few interesting things to say. For one thing, these designs had several common characteristics and did indeed resemble heads. How did they supposedly evolve gradually over time? The deceptions had to work from the onset, g...

There are times when someone is confronted by an accuser, and after giving responses, is told, "You have an answer to everything!" That remark is often sarcastic because some people make things up and give ridiculous excuses. (Of course, the accuser may not want to accept legitimate replies.) Evolution has answers. It is interesting that the puny god of evolution is often treated as a powerful being with the ability to make decisions. A good part of the way evolution explains what is observed is from practiced storytelling, especially those in science fields. Spectacles modified from Freeimages /  Kenn Kiser Life and history (including imagined history) are interpreted through Darwin spectacles. Such a worldview only lets someone see evolution at every turn. There were some "science facts" videos I was watching about biology, but had to leave them in the dust. Some interesting material that was marred by evolutionary stories about the unobserved past, such as "...

It seems that our Creator likes numbers, since he made so many of them. He gave us various forms of mathematics that are used extensively in astronomy (and elsewhere). Consider that all of those stars have names (Isaiah 40:26, Psalm 147:4). It is estimated that there are 200 sextillion stars. Scientists use those mind-boggling numbers on a regular basis, including astronomers, geologists, and even biologists. Someone suggested that people should stop saying million  for emphasis because the average person really cannot grasp such a number. DNA, Pixabay /  Gerd Altmann (geralt) Going the other way, people can understand seconds and minutes. When the numbers build up, they can be surprising. How many seconds back from July 25, 2025 did George Washington live? Over 9,259,000,000. A few decades ago, computer memory devices of significant volume were huge. Nowadays, portable memory of multiple terabytes can be tucked into a shirt pocket. DNA stores huge amounts of information ...

When dealing with supporters of universal common descent, it is often frustrating and slightly amusing at the lack of evolutionary knowledge many show. Worse, they accuse creationists of not knowing "science," even when we demonstrate more knowledge about certain subjects than they do. Evolutionary scientists are portrayed as unified with only slight disagreements about details. Supporters seem oblivious to statements against interest where experts admit they have problems. The situation of a shrew-like tree dweller that is held up as our evolutionary ancestor helps illustrate these truths. "Docodonta Order" mostly made at DeepAI , then modified for texts The usual story is that humans and apes diverged from an unknown common ancestor millions of years ago, but this is not LUCA (the Last Universal Common Ancestor). Nor is it fish we all supposedly evolved from, either. The  hominine (the word itself question-begs evolution) are humans, apes, and lots of other crit...

It is quite reasonable to wonder why Christians hold the Bible in such high esteem, rejecting the texts considered sacred by other religions. I did something similar, having been raised in a liberal religion. The Fundamentalist Christian school I attended raised many questions for me. When I confronted teachers and schoolmates with questions, they used the Bible as their authority — not books of any other religion. I spent a great deal of time reading the Bible, references, and apologetics books. Where is this or that doctrine taught? Bible outdoors, Unsplash /  Aaron Burden The liberal rebellion I had eventually reversed and I became more conservative and more educated. Biblical teachings appealed to me, and I learned that creation is true and fish-to-fool evolution is a lie. What played a key part after the school days (1979?) was attending the adult Sunday School of another church. They were listening to cassette teaching tapes of Dr. Walter Martin and cults. Why are we right an...

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...

There are many signs of youth in the solar system, relative compared to what believers in cosmic evolution expect. Mercury is cooling , the rings of Saturn are young , Jupiter's moon Ganymede looks young , and more places in our solar system do not cooperate with secular expectations. Ages are based on scientists using standard models and assumptions that are flawed. Instead of questioning their methods and even their own worldview, they are constantly surprised. It is no surprise that the northern ice cap on Mars is also surprising to them. Martian north polar cap in summer, NASA / JPL / MSSS (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Ice sheets grow and also get heavier. Then the weight pushes downward into the earth until things settle down. The same kind of thing is happening on Mars, where the ice does not seem to be growing, but still sinking at a calculated  (not measured), rate. Its age is far younger than would be expected by secular models. A team of German plan...

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen  Edited 14 July 2025 Scientific research is unfriendly to atoms-to-ape evolution, and the icon of ninety-eight percent similarity of human and chimpanzee similarity has been long been disputed. Indeed, it is based on bad science that is omitted from the secular science industry propaganda [ 1 ]. Research in chimpanzee genome supports biblical creation science [ 2 , 3 ] instead of evolution. Darwin's disciples get mighty irritated when people say that we evolved from apes or monkeys. We supposedly split from a common ancestor that looks like a monkey [ 4 ] — but they are assuming its appearance. Human-Chimpanzee DNA, made at Night Cafe , then removebg The number for human-chimpanzee similarity varies by a few percentage points, but usually about ninety-eight percent. Darwin's disciples need such a close match because apes and humans allegedly diverged around seven million years ago. That means evolutionists cannot account for a larger percentage difference...

There are many schools of psychology, some of which borrow concepts from each other. They are all wrong because they are not only atheistic but also have Darwinian foundations. Although secular psychologists deny the existence of the soul (mind, consciousness), they still try to understand it . In behaviorism, humans are essentially meat machines. They respond to stimuli — behaviors come from conditioning. This includes reward and punishment. Conditioning is gradual, a piece here and there over time. Interestingly, some aspects of behaviorism can be accurate. Brain and network, Pixabay /  Gerd Altmann  (Geralt) Psychologists lost their affection for behaviorism because they liked cognitive approaches and because it failed to explain language. The extreme specified complexity of language speaks (heh!) of the Creator , which flies in the faces of Darwinism and behaviorism. The Intelligent Design article linked below ends with a bit of a cop-out: "The science is clear. Mind, not ...

Atheists and other evolutionists have a tendency to use the word evolution  loosely, conflating change  and variation  with universal common ancestry. That bait 'n' switch trick is used to fool people into believing that Darwin was right, so there is no Creator. If anti-creationists bothered to learn what we believe and teach, they would learn that natural selection , speciation, and other variations are accepted by most creation science models. Also, many evolutionists misunderstand and misrepresent natural selection. Consider the alleged evolution of Burmese pythons in the Florida Everglades. Burmese python in Everglades (slightly cropped), USFWS / Susan Jewell ( CC BY 2.0 ) These big snakes are native to Southeast Asia (the name kind of gives that away), but some people illegally have them in Florida . (I wonder how many pythons there were named Monty? Just something I had to squeeze in here.) They escape or get turned loose, and are an invasive species that causes ha...

His father,  William, was a Christian and a slavery abolitionist , and Samuel (1805-1873) took his faith further. He became a bishop in the Church of England. Samuel was also a contemporary of Charles Darwin and unimpressed by his work. Interestingly, scientists tended to reject Darwin's version of evolution while the clergy was embracing deep time, then eventually rode for the Darwin brand. Wilberforce is known for a misrepresentation of his confrontation of T.H. Huxley . There something else of significance that is less known. Samuel Wilberforce by George Richmond , 1868 Sam was involved in a debate with Darwinists and also published an essay in 1860. He did one thing that I deplore in any Christian apologetics effort, and that was to leave God out of the discussions. However, he did take Darwin to task on scientific grounds. "But Cowboy Bob, he had no business taking on Darwin because he wasn't a scientist!" Actually, Darwin's only degree was in theology — he ...

Some weather channels and sites have news related to climates, and they would do well to post about deserts. They form under certain conditions. The Namib is a desert like a strip along Namibia and a bit north and south in Africa along the Atlantic Ocean. It is actually a cool desert (Antarctica is also a desert but obviously much colder). The air is laden with moisture, so there is early-morning fog. The darkling (or fogstand) beetle has a very interesting way of getting the water it needs in this arid region. Fogstand racing stripe beetle, Wikimedia Commons / Hans Hillewaert ( CC BY-SA 3.0 ) Since water is in the air, the beetle angles its backside into the breeze. Those bumps on its shell help it collect the moisture. Droplets are formed and directed so that the beetle can drink the water. Once again, we see that the Creator equipped a creature with special survival features, but descent with modifications evolution storytellers are unable to come up with a plausible development sc...

Quark-to-quartermaster evolution requires deep time for the propagation of its stories, and also to make evolutionary stories seem plausible in the first place. Geological evolution provides whatever billions or millions of years that biological evolutionists require. One serious limitation in these fields is that secular scientists have been taught to think in evolutionary paradigms. Maverick thinking beyond uniformitarianism is rare. Many scientists are willing to fit in with the crowd and play with chunks of time to make Darwin smile. Doing lazy research while restricting interpretations of data to yield expected results are not uncommon. Geological interests at Colorado Springs, Unsplash / Taylor Burnfield Those canyons in central Colorado? Carved out by rivers over millions of years, they insist. Other explanations are neglected, and the expected conclusions are supported by limited attempts at empirical research. Dating methods based on assumptions and circular reasoning make the...

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 ...

God the Son, the second person of the Trinity , humbled himself and became the man Jesus. Out of love for us, he was crucified, dead, buried, and bodily resurrected. These are well-attested facts in the four Gospels. However, they have differing accounts about the details of what went on that morning. Scoffers have claimed that the differences are contradictory, but such claims cannot be supported. Written accounts of eyewitnesses are available from history. Close examination of the records is needed to deal with alleged contradictions and piece together the full narrative. Four Gospel booklets, Unsplash / alabaster_co Care must be taken to avoid placing modern approaches to writing onto ancient texts. For instance, women were traveling early in the morning. Was the sun up yet? How much of it? (After all, dawn  can mean different things, such as when the first part of the sun is above the horizon, or the entire solar ball.) How many women were there? Were they there at the same tim...

It has been rightly said that trust takes a great deal of time and effort to earn, but can be ruined in an instant. Darwin's disciples have been caught doing shoddy research, ignoring pertinent evidence (the fallacy of exclusion ), seeing only one possible explanation of evidence, lying, and doing outright fraud. Then they wonder why the public is increasingly reluctant to trust their morality. These are the same sneaky sidewinders who redefine words making them appear to support the Bearded Buddha's concepts. People are thinking dinosaurs had feathers, but evidence does not support their claims. Assembled with components from  Clker  clipart Darwin's Flying Monkeys™ online will swoop down on creationists, jabbering, "We got a study!" (Many people are prone to believe practically anything if it seems to support their preconceptions, especially studies.) "A scientist said it's a simple matter for a scale to become a feather." Not hardly! On at least ...

First, a warning. There are words in here that may trigger bots on social(ist) media, so people who quote them should d!sgvise them. Concepts learned here are useful elsewhere, such as spotting logical fallacies . Another is how words can be manipulated. The word p0rnography  was redefined by leftists to include the Bible . According to some people, I am a rac!st because I have less melanin than some folks , and it is acceptable to hate me — they redefined racism. Indeed, the word evolution  itself is conflated so that small changes in organisms means Darwin was right. Image by Cowboy Bob Sorensen of angelic visitation manifesting (I redefined "lens flare") Redefining words to suit an agenda or public sentiment is often used to smuggle concepts into discussions and even public policy. A dry arroyo can be a "navigable river" for the sake of governmental control and generating money. How about non-avian dinosaurs ? Those sidewinders are manipulating people into accept...

When people feel burdened, they often seek out counselors. Good friends can be helpful but problems may be cause so much discomfort, a person wants an expert. As in so many things, worldviews matter. Everyone has a worldview . It is very unfortunate that most schools of psychology are humanistic. That is, they reject the God who made us and instead draw from atheism and evolutionism: Everything began with the Big Bang, the cosmos evolved, we are star stuff and (by accident) made ourselves evolve into humans, and when you die, you are worm food. Fabulous consel, Frederick! Creepy AI-generated Charles Darwin as a psychiatrist, made at  Simplified Scientism is compatible with the foolishness of evolutionary psychology  and secular humanism. It is the belief that all the answers in life are found through science. Of course, their definition of science rejects the Creator and, like atheism, cannot be consistently lived. Joy, peace, love, reason, science itself — all are immaterial ...

There is nothing more pleasant than a cold glass of dihydrogen monoxide, even though it is often used as a solvent or to cut through rock. (Expensive alternative term for water there. Baffle your friends.) As anyone in searching for extraterrestrial life knows, water is essential. When put under tremendous pressure and tightly focused, waterjets cut through rock and metal. It is a solvent because it dissolves quite a few substances. Earth is mostly water, though most of it is not in drinkable form. The human body contains a large percentage of water. Small waterfall on river, Unsplash / Cowboy Bob Sorensen The three basic states of matter are solid, gas, and liquid. Interesting that there is a huge — indeed, yuge  — range of temperatures in the universe, but water is only liquid within a few degrees. Earth has the right kind of star to let water exist in this important state. Water's specific heat characteristic helps keep the temperature of this blue marble rather steady. Oh yes...
