Piltdown Superman

It was a nice evening, so I saddled up and took a ride into town so as to get some oil for my lamp and watch the show. The townsfolk like entertainment of some sort or another, and Crappie Crankbait from the Darwin Ranch was giving a talk about his specialty, ancient marine reptiles. The topic was ichthyosaurs, which brings a struggle to Crankbait because there is no record of their evolution; they appeared suddenly in the fossil record. Dinosaurs are found in the same rock strata as these fish lizards. Ichthyosaurs, Heinrich Harder, 1916 Interesting that a fossil or remains can be found but not excavated for several years. This happened with an interesting ichthyosaur fossil was named Fiona. This critter met her demise while pregnant or even giving birth, and her last meal was identified. Almost ninety other ichthyosaur fossils were also discovered. Secularists invoked a form of catastrophism, saying that numerous underwater rockslides buried them. That many? On the continent?  No...

Go out on some clear night and look up at the stars, realizing the beauty that the Creator has provided. Get away from city lights and see more stars. People have built telescopes to see even more. The Hubble space telescope provided amazing images, and the Webb has yielded truly amazing images. You probably know that one reason the James Webb Space Telescope was put up there in the first place was to support the Big Bang and cosmic evolution stories. Instead, it has caused consternation in the deep time camp. Big Wheel galaxy (cropped), Wikimedia Commons / Safiy14 (PD) Since galaxies have many stars, sometimes in the multiple millions, they are rather complex structures. Some formation stories (such as galaxies merging) would ruin their shapes. Cosmologists have their stories about how galaxies formed, but there is no observational evidence to back up the stories. The JWST was pointed at what was assumed to be the early universe...it did not go well. Creationist predictions were conf...

There are people who claim that they cannot see evidence that God exists, but that is willful ignorance. A bit more difficult is evidence for the global Genesis Flood, Uniformitarian (slow and gradual processes over long periods of time) geologists say there is no evidence for it. While the average person does not have the training to see Flood evidence, these folks are also willfully ignorant. Planation surfaces baffle them, the Great Unconformity testifies against standard views, other things — plus the massive detachment fault at Heart Mountain. Heart Mountain from Exshaw, Wikimedia Commons  Jack Borno ( CC BY-SA 3.0 ) Wyoming is home to Heart Mountain, and that sure is a lot of pet food — "You're thinking of Hartz Mountain, Cowboy Bob! The pet food company was named after a mountain in Germany." Oh, thanks. Heart Mountain had a huge rock slide in the past, and uniformitarian geologists have to leave their preferred paradigm and admit to catastrophism. That is, the ...

Proponents of minerals-to-musician evolution are passionate about their beliefs, often refusing to admit that biblical creationists have pointed out many problems in the current story. Some folks have said that scientists are in agreement about evolution, but disagree about details. That remark is self-refuting if you study on it. Also, there are scientists who admit that there are serious difficulties, which has been known for many years. Darwin's disciples ignore those comments or accuse creationists of " quote mining ." However, they fail to show that we are misusing the quotes. Pond, Unsplash /  Cowboy Bob Sorensen  (cropped) While many evolutionary scientists seem to go with the flow and think what they are told (but criticizing the predominant paradigm can end a career), some have enough standing to speak their radical ideas. While biblical creationists show that evidence supports a creation orchard instead of Darwin's Tree of Life, it has been said that evolut...

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen It seems like practically everywhere we turn, AI is in use. Some people consider it a tool, others a threat . We can interact with it unknowingly. My most frequent use is internet searches; AI gets the query, scours the web, and answers rapidly. Plus it gives links for research. For the arts, I want material done by people. Sure, use computers and AI for small adjustments, but overall, make it human. A Christian hard rock channel on YouTube has at least eight "albums" by a fake band, and the write-up is deceptive . AI Cyborg adored by mindless masses* Some folks don't want AI writing and "performing" their music because it's sterile; it lacks...soul. The "band" mentioned above has Christian lyrics, but since so much material is cranked out, I lack belief that anyone is checking the lyrics for theological accuracy. Christian lyrics, even sermons, by AI should be of concern to Christians. People dislike artificial intelligence ...

After a spell of target practice with my .44-40 Winchester (same loads for rifle and pistol), I saddled up and rode into town for gun maintenance supplies and ammo. While there, I encountered Russell Watchtower, who heads up the Ministry of Truth at the Darwin Ranch. We  went into the local eatery for lunch. I had burger steak and eggs, and Russ had beef liver with onions. In my childhood days, I couldn't stand liver. My parents let me have a hamburger instead. "I wonder if cannibals eat livers," I mused. Human liver, Wikimedia Commons / BruceBlaus ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) "Sure they do," he replied. "Disgusting to us, but our burial practices are disgusting to those people as well. Some ate parts as a funeral ritual, others wanted to gain the strength of their enemies." I said, "Seems strange to want the strength of someone you've already defeated." He stopped with his fork in midair and stared, then guffawed. "Good point!" "You ...

Concerns were raised about the increase in mental illnesses in Australian students, and other countries (especially the formerly United States) should follow suit. Worldviews have consequences, and students are being indoctrinated with the Darwinian worldview. As I have said many times, atheism essentially teaches negativity. That is, we are the products of the Big Bang, then minerals-to-microscopist evolution, there is no final ultimate justice, rewards, punishment. When you die, you are worm food. That is the evolutionary message of hope. No wonder people are messed up. Sunrise in the forest, RGBStock / Alex Bruda The study revealed that the Christian worldview gives hope, which is effective against mental illnesses. There is  a final Judgment and justice, Jesus is coming back for his people, you can be raised from the dead and be with him in glory, and more. If studies like the one in Australia continue, it would be a good idea for them to examine the fact that evolutionism is n...

Right from the get-go, I need to point out that a few things have changed since the article featured below was written in 2019. The so-called New Atheism is fading and several of its primary apologists are losing their impact. Even so, the material and principles are still useful. One of the most obstreperous and arrogant professing atheists is Bill Nye. He makes remarks against biblical creationists and the Genesis Flood as if he has superior knowledge, but is repeatedly shown to be wrong. C. Richard Dawkins and Neil deGrasse Tyson also make false claims about us. Shattering atheism image by Why?Outreach Bill Nye had a highly-publicized debate with Ken Ham a few years ago. He misrepresented creationists and used a passel of fallacious attacks , including equivocating evolution with science . He was claiming that creationists would not have reasoning skills and essentially saying that we brainwash our children. That's a lie, old son. Dawkins and Tyson also misrepresent creationi...

Ever heard of a scientocracy? The -cracy suffix is familiar, and comes from the Greek. It means rule . Scientists would give information to political leaders so a society could be led by science. That means interpretations, and the the secular science industry tends to espouse atheistic scientism , so that would be a bad idea. Still, elitists are trying to have governmental influence in America. They despise President Trump but adored leftist administrations because they allowed secularists to leech taxpayer money. Leech leeching, Pixabay / No photographer listed (modified at PhotoFunia ) You have probably heard of the Department of Government Efficiency that Donald Trump and Elon Musk set up to find waste and fraudulent use of government spending. The secular science industry is furious — furious , I tell you. They resist the idea of being curtailed, preferring to spend our money on rilly rilly st00pid stuff (see " Laugh Lines: Latest Lame Legends for Darwin  for some exampl...

While visiting Ruby Slippers to discuss the upcoming nuptials of our mutual friends Stormie Waters and Roland Meadows, I was distracted by her pet chameleon. It was a real one, not an anole sometimes sold as a chameleon . This one was fully grown. It was feeding time, which is interesting. Ruby puts worms and crickets into the cage every other day, and I was there at the right moment. She opened the top and dropped them in. "Liz" was the name of the female lizard, and I saw an eye move and focus on lunch. Panther chameleon, Wikimedia Commons /  Charles J. Sharp  ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) "Liz is interested. Watch and see if she —" A blur of motion and I was surprised at how fast the lizard zapped up a cricket. "There you go," said Ruby. "I'm amazed at how they were designed to have such specialized vision  and that it works with precision shooting of that sticky tongue. There's also a suction cup kind of thing on there." "Yes, clearly some sp...

On this site and others, many examples of shoddy science, corrupt research, bad logic, and outright fraud by secularists have been exhibited. People may shrug their shoulders and trot on because they do not care about origins research. It happens in other areas of science in ways that can affect everyone. Misconduct is rampant in the secular science industry. Many papers submitted for peer review have been retracted, but the reasons are often obscure. Pernaps the research could not be reproduced, fraud was involved, and more. Then we have the sophistry of Alzheimer's disease research. Medical lab work, Pixabay / Belova59 The word sophistry  is far removed from its original use in Greece about 450 BC. That was a person who taught certain things to children of nobility. Now it is used to mean someone who wants to prove a point but uses deceptive wording for persuasion. This kind of sophistry is common in promoting Darwinism but is also found in other scientific areas. Research on a d...

As any well-schooled child knows, there are rankings in science. Someone makes observations and makes a few predictions for a hypothesis. This can graduate to a theory if it is well-substantiated with facts and testing. A law is something that summarizes observations and is unchanging under certain conditions. Charles Darwin had speculations or a hypothesis of evolution at best, but not a theory — and definitely not a law . Some owlhoots took a notion to fabricate a new law to explain how life as they see it has increasing complexity. Police cars at night (slightly modified), Unsplash / Acton Crawford This fundamentally-flawed thinking involves evolutionary presuppositions. Also, it has deep time assumptions. Add to this the thought that some laws take up where others fail, such as Newtonian rules getting replaced by quantum mechanics or relativity. No, those two things only apply in special circumstances, but there is no "replacement" going on. These scientists think evoluti...

It has reached the point that people demanding imaginary gender rights have much influence, even the forms to fill out with blanks for "gender you were assigned at birth." Those really put a burr under my saddle. Worse, they appear on medical forms. What! While there are sexual abnormalities and disorders, there are only two sexes and two genders. (Leave gender designations for languages.) Those who insist otherwise are science deniers. Interestingly, they tend to hate the Creator, but science and the Bible are in agreement on the fact of only two sexes or genders. Man and Woman, RGBStock /  Scott Snyder By the way, it is interesting that atheists frequently support causes on the political left such as this one, but a few are on record for saying the truth about genders . After all, someone can take hormones and have "reassignment" surgeries, but it does not change their internal structures or DNA . Transsexuals seem to be very angry and depressed people, using sne...

One way to spot a fool is when someone says or believes, "There is no God." This is also seen through life choices as if the Creator and Judge does not exist or care (Psalm 14:1). While believers in molecules-to-microbiologist evolution may have been taught only evolution, they are still without excuse (Romans 1:18-23). Perhaps their efforts to deny the truth are increasing, as there is quite a bit of silliness passed off as evolutionary research. Consider the inane logic in studying nitrogen networks. Aminotransferase monomer, Wiki Comm / Deposition authors - Mcphalen, C.A., et. al . Visualization author - Synpath (PD) Amino groups get transferred from amino acids to keto acids — a very important function. These amino groups are the building blocks of proteins. Using tendentious tree of life formulas and the scientific principle of Making Things Up™, some owlhoots decided that "all of life" worked together to create the complex nitrogen network. No evidence, thoug...

Weird dreams causing fatigue, work pressure, and other things made me want to just be alone. My reading by lantern light was interrupted by the sound of a buckboard approaching. I inwardly groaned, but was pleasantly surprised to see Stevia Dolce, the baker from the Darwin Ranch. She brought croissants. Those and her pleasant demeanor put aside my gloom. Stevia heard Dewey Lye and others at the ranch talking about efforts to clone a woolly mammoth and was intensely curious. Yes, there is talk about that among certain scientists. Mammoth sculpture image cropped from Pixabay /  hansbenn Using a passel of deep time and evolutionary presuppositions, scientists think that humans killed off the Ice Age animals in Siberia. They brought in several cold-weather critters to deal with the wetland, but it only got worse. Cloning a mammoth (well, a hybrid with an existing elephant's DNA and the mammoth DNA) should solve the problem. Not hardly! Using a biblical creation science Ice Age model wo...

From the extremely silly material turned in with straight faces as "research," it is no wonder that the secular science industry does not want financial scrutiny. It does not take a scientist to use logic and coherence to determine a...truly bizarre paper. Evolution is supposed to be without purpose because it is not an entity. Sure, figures of speech can treat something like a person, everyone does that. Then Darwin's votaries really do get into pantheism and treat evolution as a being. Luis Zaman claims evolution itself evolves. Video game console and effects, Pixabay / Vika_Glitter The worshipful description of evolution evolving because evolution is evolution and evolution evolves probably embarrassed even Rusty Swingset and the hands at the Darwin Ranch (up near Deception Pass). What was Zaman's research method? Essentially, a glorified video game that oversimplified their subjects. The software itself is known to be faulty. This tinhorn seems utterly committed t...

In the secular science industry, the peer review process seems more like a "good ol' boys" club than the dissemination of objective scientific information. While gatekeeping keeps out much of the riffraff, it also protects favored views from contrary data. Although creation scientists do publish in peer-reviewed journals , they cannot get material refuting evolution, supporting the global Genesis Flood, and so on published. Not only is evolution protected, but leftist views on climate change and other things are shielded. The peer-review process has numerous flaws that bother even secular scientists. Made at  Redkid.net I've got some bad news for you, Sunshine: Scientists are not the bastions of integrity and impartiality that many people think. They are human and subject to wicked urges just like the rest of us. Peer review has cheating, ethical problems, a reproducibility crisis , and other flaws. There appears to be a rebellion in the works. Some want it scrapped. ...

There is a perennial wildflower that grows in temperate areas of the Northern Hemisphere known as fireweed  in America, and  rosebay willowherb in Britain. It seems like an understatement to refer to land as disturbed  after fires or volcanic eruptions (or bombing, it has been called bombweed  in England), but fireweed is ready to reclaim the land. Fireweed is attractive, but may be sparse during good times for the land. Its method of distributing itself on disturbed land (above and below ground) is quite interesting. Fireweed, Flickr / Alaska Region U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, Kristine Sowl (PD) When Mt. St. Helens erupted, the land was a mess and scientists watched for years to see how it would recover. Guess what showed up right quick-like? Yup, fireweed was observed  by 1985. Fungi also joined the land reclamation party. Add to this is that fireweed and other plants are food for wildlife — if they eat the right varieties at opportune times. One reas...

An exclamation of amazement at absurdity is, "How dumb can you get?" It implies that stupidity cannot get much worse. Someone pointed out that it seems like a challenge, so: "How dumb can you get? Hold my beer!" We have contenders from the nature rights movement. Those addlepated folks at the Nonhuman Rights Project tried to get personhood status for an elephant , but that was overturned. They are still trying. Also, there is no mention if hallucinogenic substances were a factor, but a mountain is legally a person with rights and responsibilities. Elephant reading a book, made with  Bing Image Generator  and enhanced The Nonhuman Rights Project keeps trying to get legislation for critters to be granted personhood. They failed in the People's Republic of New York, so they turned their attention to getting a pachyderm made a person in Colorado. Those people weren't having it . The whole idea is infested with ridiculous ideas and contradictions. In New Zealand,...

Science material prompts people to learn vocabulary, but reading "bivalve mollusk known as Corculum cardissa " is not a romantic description for heart cockle shells. Mollusk  is a large grouping that includes clams, oysters, and other things. Bivalve  are the mollusks that have a pair of hinged shells. Dinoflagellates  are single-celled organisms that live in water and have characteristics of both plants and animals. They are important in water ecosystems because of their oxygen production. Also, they have a unique relationship with heart cockles. Corculum cardissa , Wikimedia Commons / Jan Delsing (PD), modified at PhotoFunia These tiny creatures live inside the shell and do photosynthesis with the sunlight. Heart cockles benefit from what the dinoflagellates give off. This is another example of mutualism (or symbiosis ). Except...shells are opaque. There is a special process where a kind of window lets them have the sunlight they need. Darwin's disciples use the s...
