Piltdown Superman

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen  Many people say that evidence for the Designer is clearly obvious in many ways, even showing his engineering and planning skills, love of beauty, and more. Even the single-celled  Stentor coeruleus  shows intricacy found in multicellular organisms. The wealthy and intelligent Elon Musk was asked about the Creator , and he said, "I believe this universe came from something. People have different labels." I do not think he simply meant that the word God  is not the same in all languages. Chromosomes, National Human Genome Research Institute (public domain) There are people who admit that the universe and life itself were designed, but they distance themselves from the Designer. Believers in microbes-to-microscopist evolution study things like chromosomes and then gleefully give the credit to evolution. While evolution is pantheistic in nature (is is an ancient religious and philosophical belief, after all), it is not a person and cannot make de...

It may be a mite baffling for some when hearing about typhoons, hurricanes, and cyclones. Are they different storms? Pretty much the same type of thing with names based on their locations. Those in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise and those in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise. What may be surprising is that these big storms have many benefits. (Indeed, lightning striking the ground is beneficial .) That is something unlikely to appear on a news broadcast because fear and destruction are good for viewership ratings. Sometimes we hear about how they form, though. Hurricane Erin, NASA Earth Observatory / Michala Garrison These monsters of destruction are actually beneficial for life on Earth. Hurricanes help the global heat balance by absorbing heat energy and redistributing it. They also replenish water supplies and rainfall, and the rotations encourage new plant growth. And much more. Secularists hand wave the benefits as products of evolution, but study on this a...

There is something contradictory in evolutionary icons, especially regarding Charles Darwin himself. Some folks get obstreperous over the use of the word Darwinism , saying that nobody believes that anymore. That word is a convenience since people know what is being discussed. However, using Galápagos finches' beak variation as evidence of evolution through natural selection is still proclaimed. It was an icon for many years without actually examining the claims in depth. The truth is far more complex than many people realize. And the finches? They did not change into something else. Colorized version of John Gould's Galapagos Finches, 1837 Although natural selection in its true sense fits well with biblical creation science, some creationists reject it (including the president of the organization for the article linked below). There may be things that need to be clarified, such as rejecting the Bearded Buddha's claim that natural selection is a creative force (traditional...

 Way back in 1947,  Rudolph Zallinger completed a five-year project . He painted a huge mural called  The Age of Reptiles  that can be seen Yale Peabody Museum. It garnered awards, and a section was used on a  US postage stamp in 1970  (Scott catalog 1390). Scientific views of dinosaurs have changed, so some depictions are now inaccurate. Unfortunately, his work was based on a myth promoted by atheists and other minerals-to-Megalosaurus evolutionists. The so-called Age of Reptiles is a myth to help bolster the greater myth of evolution. Tyrannosaurus rex  toy figure, Pixabay /  Eric Labayle Biblical creationists reject the Age of Reptiles on theological grounds, but this is not just a simplistic reaction. It is based on the study of biblical texts and logic. Something else to consider was how Charles Lyell, a lawyer who was instrumental in establishing deep time, wanted to devalue the Bible. Not only was the myth of the Age entirely made up, ...

It may come as a shock to some folks, but scientists are not in lockstep. This is clearly evident among atoms-to-atheist evolutionists. Consider the popular myth that dinosaurs were devastated by the impact of a big rock from space, but there are numerous other speculations as to what made them go extinct. Apparently some of the diverse views among evolutionists have been caused by the secular science industry promoting leftist causes. Medical exceptions aside, there are only two sexes; the Creator said so (Genesis 1:27). Evolutionary biologists are getting obstreperous over the truth. Battle of Vercellae , Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, 1729 One side claims that sex is not so simple, as both males and females have traits shown in each other. (Big deal. Some men are not interested in stereotypical masculine things, and there are women who do not fit the mold of femininity, yet most do not doubt their sexes.) The other side of the issue is attacked by cancel culture because they stand for w...

Again, it is necessary to remind people to keep pressure on evolutionists . They have a prairie schooner-full of bad science, hoaxes, terrible logic, lies, and even outright fraud to bolster something that is often called a "proven fact." A fact does not need junk to bolster it, but vestigial organs are used to support evolution. Also called structures, they are vestiges — leftovers — from our supposed evolutionary past. This is something that should shame the medical science community because tonsils, adenoids, the appendix, and others were called unnecessary. Why? They were not understood; an argument from silence . Hammond C3 organ, Wikimedia Commons /  Emilio Muñoz  (Public Domain), modified Most of the organs/structures in humans labeled as vestigial have been found to have important functions, and some of the remainders are disputed. Sneaky evolutionists have even redefined the meaning of vestigial so they can continue to use it as an argument against creation. This sc...

Although modern evolutionists try to distance themselves from their own history, so-called scientific racism is intrinsically linked to evolution. Nobody is saying that evolution caused racism. People have found ways for groups to detest each other almost from the beginning. Charles Darwin's Victorian myth had the epitome of evolution as the white Englishman, and darker people belonged to lesser races that were closer to apes, and destined to be eliminated by nature and higher races. After Darwin's writings appeared, racism was justified as scientific, and it increased a great deal. Evolution sewer cover — do not  use the URL in the image, it has been taken over by untrustworthy folks While I have had some atheists and evolutionists not only deny their racist heritage (and claim that creationists are calling all of them racists, which is a lie), some secularists admit to what happened in the past. A 1973 book collected official racist policies used against Australian aborigines...

Just the other day, Lisa Myworries had a day off from supervising the Winkie Guards at the Darwin Ranch and saddled up for some riding. She said she had no plan, just let the pony have its head and then slow down. Eventually, she ended up at my place and wanted to talk for a spell. Our chin music turned to Death Valley, of all things. Because of mountains, winds, and other conditions, it is a very hot desert with almost no water. As it is with other extremes (like the polar regions), life still exists there. Death Valley, Unsplash / Nick Rickert It is generally accepted that the key to life is water — liquid  water. Excited news reports pop up every now and then that some form of ice may exist on some planets or their moons, therefore life may have evolved there. No. It's form isn't much help. There is ice in craters on the moon, but actually obtaining it would be almost insurmountable. Water on Mars would not last for long. The more we study on it, the more it is obvious that...

It has been long debated where memories are located in the brain, especially since they seem to be in many regions. The more the brain is studied, the more amazing it becomes — and yet, the brain is not the mind; the mind uses  the brain. Although many materialists try to deny the existence of consciousness, they have major problems with evidence for it ( including how it supposedly evolved ). The concept of panpsychism  (everything has some sort of consciousness) is not exactly welcome, but evidence for memory in kidney cells seems to fit. Brain Drawing, Pixabay / Pete Linforth (modified) Indeed, there is a possibility that other cell types also show a kind of memory. This smacks of pagan pantheism (but then, evolution itself is a pagan belief ). However, memories outside of the brain and in cells actually point to something higher: The Master Engineer is showing his amazing skill at design work, and humans are beginning to see this aspect of it as well. To read the short ar...

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...

Obviously, dancing has taken many forms through the ages. Regal dances with rooms full of people synchronized in slow, precise moves. Couples doing waltzes and other precision steps. Townspeople dancing in spontaneous expressions of joy. People in clubs moving to the beat. Solo dancing. And many more. Have you ever seen a troop of chimpanzees doing a line dance or the Monkey ? Me, neither. Apes are simply not built for that. If you ask people why  they dance, they will probably say that it is fun and makes them feel good. Actually, a great deal is happening. Four dancing couples in rustic costume, New York Public Library Digital Collections . 1745 - 1899 Sure, feel-good hormones (endorphins) are being released in social dancing, but the brain is doing many other things as well. Dancing takes coordination. Ever watched a group of Celtic dancers in complete intricate union? Amazing. It's not just the feet, either. Other areas of our brains and physiology are utilized and even develop...

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...

The other day, I hitched up the buckboard and rode into town for supplies. Since the town is small and entertainment is scarce, occasional lectures from officials at the Darwin Ranch are given. This time it was Russell Watchtower from their Ministry of Truth. Aside from Stinking Lake (which is not as bad as it sounds), the town is not near water. Russell talked on the evolution of salmon. The establishment had salmon on the menu for those of us who dine and listen. He presented no evidence for evolution, just assertions. Coho Salmon, NOAA Fisheries (Public Domain) Up yonder in Alaska, fossil Salmonidae were discovered along with other fishes. One is supposed to be an ancestor of salmon at age seventy-three million years. Trouble is, there is no sign of evolution. With fish and other critters, people should be practically tripping over transitional forms (something changing into something else), but the organisms in fossils that are said to be from millions of Darwin years ago are ...

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 ...

As stated here several times, many believers in particle-to-pachyderm evolution misrepresent biblical creationists in saying that we believe "GodDidIt" and scientific investigation is over. Not hardly! Creation scientists want to know how  God did something, and how things work. Meanwhile, evolutionists making such accusations are hypocritical. " It evolved " is a common explanation when empirical data are not available, and they appeal to evolution when something is not actually understood. Evolution is a science stopper — dangerously so in medical science . This is displayed in how they evosplain  lower back pain. Doctor examines woman's back, Pexels / Kaboompics The pain can be blamed through dysteleology on an incompetent Creator, or evolutionary presuppositions about our origins. In stories about the unobserved distant past, our apelike ancestors decided to stop walking on all fours and became bipedal. No one knows why. But we were not adapted for that kind...

The other morning, I was not in the best of moods. Cleaning up around the shed was needed because a raccoon got in and scattered garbage. While I was mumbling to myself and working, Rusty Swingset, foreman of the Darwin Ranch near Deception Pass, and his lady friend Jacqueline Hyde (who was almost herself that day) had ridden up. He said they decided to see how these new horses were and since they had some down time, swung by my place. I gestured and said, "Trash panda's been here." Rusty roared and Jacqueline giggled. Raccoon, Unsplash / fr0ggy5 "I don't think either of us have heard that term before," said Jacqueline. "But they sure are mischievous." She pronounced it miss-CHEE-vee-us instead of MISS-chev-us, but I successfully hid my cringe. Rusty scratched his scraggly jaw and chimed in, "Say, don't you believe they're designed to do this stuff? Those paws look like five-fingered li'l hands." "Well, ya got me there,...

There is a concept called rewilding , which is considered a "progressive" approach to conservation. (When progressive  is used, be cautious of extremism.) The idea sounds reasonable and noble: Bring back creatures (or their relatives) that were extinct in some areas and let them roam free. Let nature live in peace, love, and grooviness. Extreme environmental views are wrapped in evolutionary thinking, so humans are just another thing that evolved. We are not exceptional (and certainly  not created separately and in the image of God, no siree). Turning wild critters loose can have dire consequences. Gray wolf, US National Park Service (Usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) According to standard reckoning, the dire wolf has been extinct for thousands of years. A company called Colossal Bioscience took some DNA and claims to have brought back the dire wolf from extinction. In reality, they did not have the materials or ability to do so, but the company made modifie...

We are halfway through 2025, and though my unregistered assault keyboards show signs of wear, I am able to continue bringing information that affirms creation and refutes atoms-to-atheist evolution. The secular science industry has an efficient propaganda machine, so people seldom question their pontifications, especially on evolution. I saw a post on social(ist) media saying how humans learned to run to survive, chasing down antelopes when hunting. Nobody questioned this fact-free claim. Conversely, when the world is viewed without Darwin spectacles, evidence for creation is readily apparent. Butterfly on flower, Freeimages /  luis rock Although there are numerous examples here on this site of organisms showing specified complexity and design for their environments, consider flutterbys — I mean, butterflies. Some of them are protected from predators because they taste bad, and other butterflies mimic their appearance. Some types of butterflies migrate incredible distances (using t...

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...
