Center of Gravity Ruins Dinosaur Flying

Image
Purveyors of the dinosaur-to-bird evoporn trip over facts, ignore serious problems, and pretend that evolutionists are all in agreement on the subject. There have been several attempts to present fossilized material as feathers or protofeathers, but there is no actual evidence for it. Indeed, the evolution of the feather itself would be a secular miracle. There are also numerous major changes necessary (with no transitional forms in the fossil record) for dino-to-bird evolution. A hypothetical winged dinosaur cannot fly because of the center of gravity problem. Awkward feathered T. rex with wings © Cowboy Bob Sorensen, made with MS Copilot Flying critters were designed to have the correct center of gravity so they can have control. While it may not exactly be biomimetics, it is clear that human flight drew inspiration from what is seen in creation. Evolutionists seem to think that if a dinosaur had feathers, it was on the way to becoming a bird. Not hardly! Have you ever flown on an a...

The Foolishness of Cosmic Darwinism

Image
Some folks get all het up when creationists talk about the Big Bang, telling us that it has nothing to do with evolution. Two distinct possibilities are that they are uninformed or simply dishonest. Cosmic evolution is the secular origin of the universe myth. You savvy that, pilgrim? There was nothing, which exploded. Eventually there were stars and galaxies, elements formed, our solar system, geologic evolution, and then gas-to-geneticist evolution. Biblical creationists and Intelligent Design proponents point to the fine-tuning of the universe as evidence of a Creator. The Passion of Creation with JWST image from NASA (who does not endorse this site), both modified Secularists tacitly affirm Romans 1:18-24, which says that people know evidence for God which is clear in his creation, but they suppress that truth. It is obvious that Earth was designed for life in many ways such as having a well-behaved sun, our placement in the galaxy, Earth's orbit itself, ATP synthase, and much...

Evolutionists Still Ambivalent on the Handyman

Image
For over sixty years, an image titled "The March of Progress" has been fake news about evolution. Forms of it are still used today, often in parody . It fits Charles Darwin's Victorian-era fantasy where a white man is the pinnacle of evolution. Knowledgeable evolutionists dislike it. Darwinists have evosplained in one way or another is that scientists are agreed about evolution but not about some of the details. How about the handyman? Homo habilis  is the handyman because he supposedly made tools. But he is not just a mere detail to quibble over. H. habilis  was first proposed in the 1960s but has always been controversial. Even so, it has been popularized and treated like a definitive link in the human evolution story despite opposition among evolutionists. This wastebasket or junk taxon is a collection of odds and ends that had to be sorted through to manufacture the handyman. Tools were supposedly found near the bones. (Indeed, some alleged tools are not necessarily ...

When a Creationist Student is Assigned Evolution

Image
Christian students in secular school systems are swimming upstream, and many succumb to the propaganda and lose their faith. Others have learned  what  and why they believe . Ideally, parents use available resources, and kids are taught evolution the right way . In addition to using critical thinking and seeing how children are indoctrinated into a secularist religion , Christian parents and children utilize good biblical creation science material to bolster knowledge. Expect it to happen that a student is assigned to write a paper on evolution. Then what? School crossing sign, Morguefile / thesuccess Creation scientists who have obtained degrees are divided about whether or not creationist students should keep their heads down about their beliefs. Some have said they had no trouble in higher education, others emphasize caution. When writing a paper about evolution, it is best to keep creation views and mentions of God out of it. This is not compromise, but rather, strategic. ...

Polar Bears not Declining, but Thriving

Image
Just the other day, Ruby Slippers asked me if I had heard anything from Stormie Waters Meadows and Roland Meadows after their recent nuptials. We discussed the brief letters each of us had received. For some reason, the conversation wandered to polar bears. Ruby told me that way back when, Vikings sometimes caught, transported, and gifted them . Quite a task, and the recipient would have to feed and house them. She also informed me that they can swim for mighty long distances. Polar bear ready to be a polo bear, made with Bing AI Image Generator Folks get all a-twitter about global warming, and they think that sea life around the Arctic will suffer. Scientists say (oh, boy, here we go) that the number of polar bears is declining and they will go extinct. As climate change alarmists are wont to do, they downplay or even leave out important facts. F'rinstance, the numbers of polar bears are variable. Also, they are currently increasing . Then there's the recent study of the genom...

Origin of Life Stories Continually Convoluted

Image
Darwin's disciples often insist that the origin of life has nothing to do with evolution, the two are separate concepts. So, abiogenesis — life from non-life, also called chemical evolution — has nothing to do with dust-to-Doctor-Doom evolution. Actually, they want creationists to give them a boost over that hurdle. Meanwhile, there is a great deal of research happening on the origin of life. Much of the research involves torturing the evidence until it "supports" the latest narrative of evolutionists. Dr. James Tour, an Intelligent Design supporter, says they are clueless about the origin of life . The tales told are convoluted because one thing leads to another. Secularists have to go back to their creation myths and a molten Earth, then stumble forward through time. If evidence could speak, it might say, "Yes, but..." numerous times. Facts interrupt the stories, and more stories are developed, the OoL history keeps getting rewritten in the name of science. Th...

Human Senses Defy Evolution, Affirm Creation

Image
People tend to think of having five senses, occasionally pondering the possibility of a sixth sense when they feel  something will happen or unexplained things occur. For that matter, a sixth sense has been attributed to various critters showing awareness of danger. Actually, animals can be sensitive to vibrations, smells, and other things in their basic senses. So are we. (This child suspects that some things attributed to the supernatural are often our forgotten or suppressed senses being active.) Some researchers think we have about thirty-three senses! Baby Reaching For An Apple , Mary Cassatt (1891) Believers in descent-with-modification seek function, such as survival advantage. The senses under investigation do not always provide a survival advantage. Indeed, what is called cross-domain associations  occur; senses in different areas must have come into existence at once — and they are active in children. What is observed points to the work of the Master Engineer and def...

Uranian Moons May Have Subsurface Oceans

Image
Back in 1986, Voyager 2  visited the mysterious planet Uranus. Probes send back a prairie-schooner-full of data and some of it is analyzed and reanalyzed decades later. It is more than just, "Oh, look. More moons." Rechecking data from V'ger provided interesting results. Before going on, it is worth noting that Uranus defies the conventional cosmic evolution story. It is colder than Neptune, has an extreme axial tilt where it effectively rolls around the sun, rotates like Venus in a retrograde manner, has an offset magnetic field, and more. Illustration of Uranus and its five largest moons, NASA / Johns Hopkins APL / Mike Yakovlev (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) To date, twenty-nine moons have been discovered. Several of those are odd like their ringed host (rings discovered in 1977). Two of them are strong candidates to have oceans under their surfaces. This was determined by stress fractures caused by the planet they orbit. If correct, they could jo...

Confidence in Claims of Scientists — and Evolution

Image
There was a time when people thought that answers to many problems would be found by scientists, but over the years, there has been a growing distrust for scientists. This has increased after Dr. Anthony Fauci and vaccines for the Rona virus fell into disrepute in many areas. There are moral standards for the secular science industry that the public expects to be upheld. These are especially evident in medical science. There are certain criteria that can be implemented to discern if scientists are providing reasons for us to have confidence in their pronouncements. Chimp says, "She made a good point", made with Bing Image Creator Creationists have long pointed out the fact that science can be divided into two areas, historical (forensic) and operational. Obviously there is some overlap as forensics use what exists in the present in their efforts to determine what happened in the past. There are six criteria for medical science that can be used to some extent in some areas. Wh...

Men and Women are Different by Design

Image
Culture is attempting to influence biological realities, but some things cannot be wished away. As of August 14, 2026, the WNBA cannot define what a woman is . Meanwhile, men who "identify" as women want to play in that women's league. Other people, including a Supreme Court justice, refuse to say what defines a woman. My doctor's office has a form that wants to know what gender I was assigned at birth . If they kowtow to reality-denying culture, I wonder if my medical care is in jeopardy! The differences between men and women exist and are important. Adam and Eve before the Temptation / George Frederick Watts Interesting that this gender stuff was mostly unknown for thousands of years, but has been accelerating recently. It is plain to see that men and women are wired differently. That is, we think and feel in different manners and have different internal chemistry. That remark I made about getting proper medical care because the doctor's office buys into the po...

Fake Evolution and the Tibetan Snow Lotus

Image
Way, way up on the Tibetan Plateau is the Tibetan Snow Lotus. Of course, after China invaded Tibet in 1950, they have even influenced language; it is better known as Snow Lotus or even Chinese Snow Lotus. Or use the scientific name ( Saussurea laniceps ). There are different varieties of this flower. People who can brave the rarefied air go up there and pick this endangered flower for various reasons. The most popular is that it is useful in Chinese folk medicine. While there is scientific evidence that it can treat rheumatoid arthritis, human tests seem nonexistent. Icy Tibetan Snow Lotus ( Saussurea gossypiphora ), Wikimedia Commons / Prateek ( CC BY-SA 2.5 IN ) Because people are picking these flowers, Darwin's disciples are claiming that since the lotus is now growing shorter, we see evolution in action. Not hardly! What we have is something that may be called natural selection (if you can call people picking flowers and driving them to extinction "natural"). There i...

Fundamentally Flawed Lizard Brain Human Evolution

Image
One of the problems in descent with modifications evolution is that it is pervasive, with outdated ideas still used. I occasionally see videos that make evolutionary assertions that have no basis in fact. A couple of these on psychology referred to the lizard (or reptile) brains of humans. The idea of humans having a triune brain with a lizard at the base is fundamentally flawed in several ways. One of these is lack of evidence. Another problem is that since it fit the narrative so well, evolutionists seemed to just plug it in. MacLean's Triune Brain concept, WikiComm / Lchunhori ( CC BY-SA 2.5 ), modified at PhotoFunia The three-part brain concept, underpinned by a lizard brain, was set forth by  Paul D. MacLean. He was a respected neuroscientist. His status and authority may have been part of the reason the story was easily accepted.  Also, it was firmly rooted not only in the assumption of evolution, but also strongly based on Haeckel's fraudulent embryo drawings . Fraud, ...

Pancakes and Corvids at Canyonlands National Park

Image
In southeastern Utah is a nice spread of 337,598 acres called Canyonlands National Park, hosting canyons (obviously), spires, and buttes. Conventional uniformitarian geology says that rivers carved the canyons of millions of Darwin years. Evidence is against Grand Canyon being carved by the Colorado River , and similar logic applies here. Secularists evosplain that the pancake-like layers that are seen were made by a series of deserts over vast amounts of time. However, deserts today do not act like those supposedly did in the distant unobserved past. Canyonlands National Park by Matthew Dillon at Flickr ( CC BY 2.0 ) There are thousands of canyons on this here planet Earth. Biblical creationists see a great deal of evidence not only against the conventional views, but in favor of the Genesis Flood in Grand Canyon and at Canyonlands. Were any of the other canyons made slowly? Mayhaps some, but most had to be done by a lot of water in a little bit of time, not a little bit of water...

Designed to Die?

Image
There is a mystery, a paradox, regarding death and the Bible. Originally, everything was created very good  and death is an interloper. When Adam sinned, death entered the world (Rom. 5:12). It is the last enemy and will be destroyed (1 Cor. 15:26). Death was not used in God's creative process. Yet death is beneficial in some ways. The Creator implemented a kind of cleanup crew to take care of dead things and be nourished by them. Before the Genesis Flood, some folks lived 900 years but that drastically changed . Even cells are designed to die. Skull, flowers, and butterflies, Pixabay / Ron Hoekstra After the return of Jesus, death will be done away with. Many animals are designed to have short life spans. (I saw a video where a woman had a pet jumping spider, a creature that only lives a few months.) On the other hand, some critters live an astonishing number of years. Creation theologians should be able to answer this, but this child speculates that with the fall of man and the ...

Forensics and Fossilization

Image
The common story about fossilization told by believers in universal common descent is, to be blunt, absurd even on the surface. In water, a critter dies, sinks to the bottom, gets covered by sediment, and becomes fossilized over many years. The Master Engineer made a cleanup crew that gets rid of the clutter, which includes scavengers, microorganisms, and so on. Owners of aquariums have seen that when a fish dies, it is often eaten by other fish. Scavenging and decomposition happen very quickly on land as well. Forensic toolkit and marked evidence, Pexels / cottonbro studio Television shows and movies about forensic science  have become very popular. This is the historical science where investigators use information in the present to reconstruct what may have happened in the past. Worldviews, presuppositions, evidence degradation, contamination and other things put limits on forensic science . The study of fossilization (as well as scientific views involving creation science, evol...

Still No Feathered Dinosaurs

Image
When I finished loading supplies into my buckboard, I noticed someone standing nearby. It was Lisa Myworries, supervisor of the Winkie Guards at the Darwin Ranch out yonder at Deception Pass. We talked a bit, then went into the town's best eatery for lunch. Like a couple of others at the ranch, Lisa has doubts about fish-to-farrier evolution but keeps mum —  she needs her job. She quietly mentioned the idea that dinosaurs evolved into birds is silly. She is correct, and the idea is unscientific and illogical. Feathered dinosaur assembled with components from Clker clipart, finished at PhotoFunia Everyone has a worldview by which they interpret and utilize what they observe in life. Charles Lyell, a lawyer by training who made geology his avocation, was an advocate for the slow and gradual processes of uniformitarianism. (That word was coined by a reviewer of his Principles of Geology  writings.) Liar Lyell opposed recent creation and the catastrophism of Genesis Flood geologi...

Recent Creation vs Short-Term Comet Rescuing Devices

Image
Biblical creationists have long used short-term comets as an argument against deep time, as they should no longer exist. Comets have long elliptical orbits, and when they near the sun, they light up as some of their material burns away. Astronomers figure they should only last about 20,000 years. While that amount of time is outside recent creation models, it is far outside conventional beliefs. Also, the Nebular Hypothesis has the solar system (including comets and such) forming from a swirling gas. Many comets travel opposite of the expected direction and angle. Comet image via Unsplash /  Tim Dennert Secularists have used the complex scientific principle of Making Things Up™ to rescue their stories. One is the Oort Cloud , a repository of comets and such way out yonder — which has no evidence for its existence. The Kuiper Belt of icy asteroids beyond the orbit of Neptune was proposed as a source of comets. Some objects were finally discovered. Does this solve the comet longevity...

Creation, Evolution, and Bipedalism

Image
The media for descent with modifications present their views as if evolution were all figured out, no questions asked. That is news to scientists, as they are continually trying to make the story of evolution make sense. One are of concern is how humans became bipedal.  Sure, apes are quadrupedal, but sometimes they walk upright for a short time. Uncomfortably. They got hip bones, we got hip bones. These things prove evolution. Wrong. Using maybe, perhaps , and Making Things Up™ , evolutionists think they have a genetic clue about hip bones. People walking in Almaty, Kazakhstan, Unsplash / Dmitrii Filatov For apes to walk upright, there would have had to be a change in the pelvis. Humans and apes supposedly diverged from an apelike creature in the distant past. (Nobody knows when or what that critter even looked like.) Many changes would need to happen at the same time, or nothing would work. There is no evidence of these alleged changes in the fossil record. Quite a bit of effort...

Mining Gold from "Junk" DNA

Image
There are lessons to be learned from the concept of "junk" DNA, including hubris, deep time, and bad assumptions. Fundamentally-flawed presuppositions play a big part. Believers in fish-to-fool evolution tend to assume naturalism and build from there. Big mistake. DNA just had  to keep evolving by chance and random processes over time. Scientists sequenced the human genome and found that almost none of it coded for proteins, therefore, it was useless leftovers from our supposed evolutionary past. This led to medical and scientific train wrecks. 1895 train photo at Wikimedia Commons ,  Papa Darwin's image is found all over the web, DNA image from  openclipart Notice that this junk DNA thing is related to dysteleology arguments. Essentially, "In my opinion, things are poorly designed, therefore, there is no Designer, only evolution." Spurious evoporn about the ear , eye , reproduction , and other areas are refuted by creationists and Intelligent Design proponents....

Definitely Teach Evolution to Christian Children

Image
Having been involved in presenting biblical creation science on social(ist) media for several years, there are some distressing things I have noticed. Unfortunately, it is not from atheists and theistic evolutionists, who we expect to be obstreperous. It is distressing when professing Christians act like those folks. Many Christians do not realize that we are not in it to "win" arguments, but to remove stumbling blocks so we can present the gospel message. Cute pictures with slogans get "likes" but in-depth material is ignored. Mean-spirited material gets applauded. These things ought not to be. There are parents who want to shield their children from evolution, but that is ridiculous. Kids learn things anyway — and often rebel against their parents. They will  learn about evolution whether we like it or not. Worse, it is the sanitized version that suppresses the deceit, racism, outright fraud, and more. What needs to be done is to teach them both  creation science ...
