As people who have read or viewed creation science material know, the Genesis Flood is extremely important. One reason is that the Flood ruins uniformitarian (old Earth) geology. Scoffers dismiss it out of hand without learning even the basics of what is involved. Creationists have pointed out that there are questions raised in bad faith to trip up biblical creationists, but there are also people who sincerely want explanations. Today we examine two. The first is how Noah rounded up all those critters. The Animals Entering Noah's Ark , Jacopo Bassano ca. 1570 Noah saddled up a Compsognathus, put a cart behind it, made a lariat, and lassoed — "Don't be facetious, Cowboy Bob!" Actually, scoffers paint a similarly absurd picture through their prejudicial conjectures. When intelligently  debating opponents, it is necessary to learn their views and look for inconsistencies and logic flaws. Genesis 6:20, 7:8-9 tells us that the animals came to Noah at the Ark; they were gui...

Out Colorado way, if you mount up and ride west of Denver and a bit north of Morrison, you can find Dinosaur Ridge. It is a part of the National Natural Landmarks program administered by the US National Park Service. National parks and monuments are owned by the government, but not NNLs. Main tracksite on Dinosaur Ridge, National Park Service (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) It is famous for exposed sediments revealing dinosaur trackways. These are the top part of the Dinosaur Freeway, which extends southward hundreds of miles. Mainstream scientists attribute the geologic activity to rivers and beaches. Take a walk on the beach. Pay attention to the tracks your feet leave in the wet sand. Notice that the waves come in and erase the tracks. It requires special conditions to fossilize tracks, and the geology of Dinosaur Ridge and the formations involved do not support mainstream uniformitarian ideas. Instead, there are numerous facts that point to creation science Gen...

Sometimes misotheists ask questions of biblical creationists in bad faith, but some Christians may sit back, watching and waiting for an answer. Sometimes people just want to know. One of these is: Where are human fossils from the global Genesis Flood? Interesting that Darwin's disciples challenge creationists, but they act like deep time and evolution are settled. The Flood left many obvious evidences, including fossils and geologic sequences that span continents, but since there are no known human fossils, creationists need to explain why not. Puzzled chimpanzee is puzzled, Pixabay (AI) / olenchic While it is reasonable to ask creationists to back up our claims with physical evidence, it's a mite disingenuous to ignore problems in evolution. Also, secularists need to be consistent. The overwhelming majority of fossils are marine organisms. Several expected types of creatures for the evolution story are poorly represented in the fossil record. Also, evolutionists have problems...

Stevia Dolce, lead baker at the Darwin Ranch near Deception Pass, is not a fan of evolution. But she needs her job and keeps mum about her doubts around the ranch hands. Yesterday, when all my troubles seemed so far away, she visited me with a question. And a cheese Danish. "Sherwood Tellit was saying that if Noah's Ark was real, it would have gone up too high and everyone would have suffocated — why are you laughing? Don't choke on the Danish!" I swallowed, took a swig of coffee, and told her why. AI-generated Noah's Ark image, Pixabay /  dlsdkcgl This is one of the "Gotcha!" arguments made by atheists and other believers in deep time. For them, it is a scientific absurdity that the Ark was raised above the highest mountain peaks. There are mountains existing today where the summits are in the "death zone" because oxygen needs to be brought along. Flood deniers tend to ignore some basic science to make their accusations. They also ignore the t...

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...

Once again, it is worth asking that if evolution is a scientific fact with a mountain of evidence, why does it need to be protected from challenges and scrutiny? In 2004, the Kitzmiller v Dover  lawsuit was filed because the school district wanted teachers to say that there were problems with evolution. It also referred to the  Of Pandas and People textbook that proposed Intelligent Design as an alternative. Katie, bar the door! Someone has the gall , the unmitigated audacity, to doubt Darwin and have students  actually think ! Evolution must be protected! It has been twenty years since the ruling which is praised by atheists and other evolutionists. They continue to promote myths , probably because reasoning is difficult for them. One tinhorn from Michigan State University wrote an article that told several blatant falsehoods and misrepresented history. He was an expert witness at that trial. One of the most common lies from anti-creationists and anti-ID folks is that I...

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...

Biblical creationists believe what the Bible says about creation, which includes how the earth is young. The global Genesis Flood has many attributes that secularists avoid or try to explain away. Many times, questions are asked in bad faith; they think will destroy the belief system of creationists. Some of those questions resonate with Christians as well because they have wondered the same thing — but they genuinely want to know the answers. One of these is about how plants and fishes survived the Genesis Flood, since saltiness levels would have changed. NOAA Fisheries image of two sturgeons Keep in mind that people are starting from current knowledge about the world, but there are facts about the antediluvian world for which we can only speculate. Even so, there are characteristics of living plants and animals that can be examined and reach some possibly surprising answers. For several points to consider, click on " How did fish and plants survive the Genesis Flood? "

 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, ...

The more nature is studied, the more complex it becomes. For example, microscopic cells were believed to be simple and described as "grapes in jelly." Equipment has improved over the years and now cells are known to be extremely complex. Going the other way, the cosmos is amazingly huge. Dwarves, giants, and other kinds of stars have been known for years, but with those powerful telescopes, new terminology has been utilized. Now we have supergiants, hypergiants, and other names that seem to be used because astronomers are running out of adjectives. Then there are galaxies. The Passion of Creation  with JWST image from  NASA  (who does not endorse this site), both modified Remember, galaxies are where most stars are grouped. The James Webb Space Telescope was expected to find what the universe looked like soon after the Big Bang. It did not go well. Instead, numerous problems (such as large galaxies ) are going against the standard secular model of cosmic formation and evo...

Although secularists often resent the distinction, there are two kinds of science . Operational  science deals with the here and now: analyzing, building, treating illnesses, etc. When science is used to attempt to explain what happened in the past, it is historical  science — for obvious reasons. When scientists propose ideas for what happened in the past, there should be evidence for their claims. Biblical creationists believe that the Genesis Flood was a global catastrophe. Two aspects of Flood geology include the runoff of the waters and the accompanying erosion. Rocks showing layers near Hurley, NY, Unsplash / Cowboy Bob Sorensen Small areas of erosion are no big deal, but geologists know that there is continental  erosion. There are several ways of measuring it. Coal is important for this process in some areas. The lack of it in the Great Plains and the flatness of the area makes it very difficult to estimate erosion. Other areas have domes with erosion around them....

One source of mirth for professing atheists and other evolutionists is that biblical creationists believe humans and dinosaurs lived at the same time, but dinosaurs have since kicked the bucket and joined the choir invisible. Their narrative demands millions of years between us and them. Creationists have shown problems with deep time, and even some secular scientists admit that the evidence is severely lacking. Indeed, there are legends of  creatures that greatly resembling dinosaurs in human history — and there are other evidences as well. Atheists despise these things as they point to recent creation. St. Lifard and the dragon, Jean Bourdichon , ca. 1500 (PD) This picture looks like he just asked if it wanted to go walkies. Way back in the sixth century AD, a monk known as St. Lifard (or Lipardus, among others) was responsible for putting an end to a troublesome dragon. Was there truth to the story? I dunno, especially since the stories of his saintly exploits are far-fetched....

It is interesting to see articles and videos about various geological features, many of which are found in the formerly United States. Down 'Straya way, there are also some impressive formations. Consider the Three Sisters in the Blue Mountains of New South Wales. This popular tourist attraction presents strong evidence for the Genesis Flood , and Dr. Tasman Walker of Creation Ministries International wrote an article about it. This raised the ire of some Australian skeptics, and one wrote an article to refute him. It did not go well, Three Sisters, Wikimedia Commons / Diliff ( CC BY-SA 2.5 ) For some time, I have held the opinion that a skeptic is someone who is not convinced of something, but is willing to change his mind when persuasive evidence is presented. It seems that a skeptic today is someone who refuses to be convinced of something despite the evidence. Someone pointed out that these unyielding skeptics would more correctly be called cynics . These skeptics (atheists) d...

It seems that when one conspiracy theory runs out of steam, another takes its place. The "conspiracy" part often means that the item in question is doubted by many, so there is a conspiracy to suppress it. Theory? Codswallop! The Pyramids of Giza have fascinated people for thousands of years. Pyramids are occasionally given mystical significance. In the 1970s, there was a belief that items in pyramid shapes produced a field that could keep blades sharp, preserve food, and more. Now it is said that there is a city hidden under Giza. Khafre's Pyramid Complex, Flickr / Institute for the Study of the Ancient World ( CC BY 2.0 ) Researchers claim that satellite technologies made it possible for them to find images of structures beneath the Pyramids. Other scientists are skeptical, and they have valid reasons. One is that the results cannot be replicated. Also, instead of going through the usual processes to announce discoveries, these researchers had a press conference on You...

Proponents of descent with modifications evolution have boxed themselves in with their fundamentally flawed worldview, but they have a rescuing device. A big one, because the problem is serious. An amniote track fossil was found in the wrong place according to evolutionary predictions. Researchers see the tracks and make a story about what went on. One reptile went across the ground, rain lightly fell, and others ran across the ground later. However, it is obvious that tracks disappear quickly. The scientists did not say how these were preserved. Modification of The Passion of Creation , Leonid Pasternak (1892) One problem for secularists is that it takes the right conditions to preserve the fossil tracks, and those would come from the Genesis Flood. What they cannot wave off is the dating of the tracks. Reptiles have always been reptiles since creation, and the tracks support what creationists say. Rewrite the evolution textbooks? Why, sure! They do it all the time. Reptiles belong to...

Those rascally disciples of Charlie Darwin, constantly trying to find out how something evolved — even if they do not understand it. A huge undertaking to map the human brain demonstrated that there are billions of neurons, billions of other cells, trillions of connections. Yep, that puppy is complex! Since the brain is so involved, efforts at mapping it have been unsuccessful. Scientists also do not understand its function. Also, understanding consciousness eludes the scientists that admit it exists. Yet somehow, some think they are learning how it evolved. X-ray-style image of skull and brain, Freeimages /  Miranda Knox What is troubling is that evolution zealots learn of studies that purport to demonstrate evolution, then assume the researchers are correct. After that, they are more convinced by the deception they received and even try to badger creationists with this kind of hooey. The study was wrong in several ways, and if researchers did not have their heads stuck in their s...

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...

On this site alone, many instances of Darwin's disciples galloping off with new discoveries that allegedly demonstrate evolution are displayed. Evolutionists ignore possible alternative explanationsfor data, important facts are neglected, bad logic is used, and more. Unfortunately, some Christians use the same poor thinking. Some of it is based on dramatic claims, such as drilling into Hell itself . The gospel is true, we do not need to "wow" people into believing it — especially when we  are being gullible and not checking the material. There are several artifacts said to depict dinosaurs that are false. Dinosaur on a road, Pixabay / Guo WuYou , modified at PhotoFunia Obviously, biblical creationists want to spread the truth. One part of it is evidence that humans and dinosaurs were contemporaneous for a while, and such evidence is found in historical accounts and numerous artifacts . It becomes a problem when we are in a hurry to show something impressive that turns out...

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...
