An In-Depth Look at the Human-Chimp DNA Similarity Deception

Image
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...

Honey Bees, Pollination, and no Evolution

Image
Large numbers of honey bees are dying off, and it is not just a case of, "Bugs die, so what?" Mount up, ride to the top of the hill, and get the big picture. Living things have their ecological niches, and honey bees are important to many other organisms — including humans. They are the most important pollinators to the survival of many kinds of plants, and they produce honey and beeswax that are important for humans. Flowers attract the bees in a mutually-beneficial relationship. This presents one of several problems for evolutionists. Honey Bees in honeycomb, Pixabay /  PollyDot Bees need pollen to survive, plants produce pollen and need honey bees for its distribution. But according to the evolution story, they did not exist at the same time. Darwinists say wasps existed at that time and honey bees came later. However, there is no compelling evidence to support that concept. Indeed, the evolution of insects which suddenly appeared in the fossil record is also problematic. ...

Convergent Evolution Myth Wrecked by Blind Cavefish

Image
Although secularists will not admit it, convergent evolution is essentially a secular miracle. It is claimed that various critters have similar traits (such as bats and dolphins both using echolocation) that evolved independently. There is no evidence for such traits evolving even once, but the claim is made for multiple creatures. Though convergent evolution is a myth, it is an icon of particles-to-professor evolution. One of the alleged examples of it and evolution in general is the blind cavefish. Darwin's disciples point to loss of traits (such as their blindness) as examples of evolution. Blind cavefish, Wikimedia Commons /  Syrio  ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) Adaptation fits within biblical creation science models, and blind cavefish show several. (One of these is how they adjust to lower oxygen levels in caves.) Creationists believe they were designed to adapt  because the Master Designer frontloaded organisms with genetic diversity, epigenetics, and all that good stuff. Evo...

Evolutionist Misrepresents History on Intelligent Design Trials

Image
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...

Christmas and the Empty Chair

Image
It could be that I am counting wrong, this is the third Christmas without my departed wife. She died in September 2023, so that year was the first, 2024 was the second, now it is 2025. (My doubts are because I do not remember some things.) I look at her chair and picture her watching 1951's  Scrooge  with me. We see the empty chairs where friends and family members gathered with us, feeling pangs of loss. But Christmas is not just about family, gifts, and things. Secular ideas tend to drown out the true meaning. Unoccupied place setting, Unsplash / Mark Chan The purpose, despite the multitudinous add-ons, is to observe the birth of Jesus. He is God the Son, the Creator of the universe — and us. (Although God the Son has existed eternally, it is fitting to celebrate the birthday of the man Jesus, Phil. 2:7, Rev. 22:16.) Although I had some tears while writing this post, I have to do what all of us should do: Focus on Jesus. Christmas actually reminds us that he came to die for ...

Comets, 3I/ATLAS, and Space Aliens

Image
Several planets, moons, and comets were known until 1801, then an asteroid was discovered. More space rocks were found in the late 20th century. Some scientists decided that since ere are so many of them, people should be watching for any that may crash into the earth. That would spoil a good day. ATLAS is a big part of sky scanning, and 3I/ATLAS is the name given to a certain object. At first, it was thought to be an asteroid. But the orbit is wrong, not gravitationally tied to the sun — it is an interstellar comet. Interstellar comet 3I / ATLAS by Hubble telescope, NASA , ESA, David Jewitt (UCLA) et al  (usage does not imply endorsement) A few years ago, the first interstellar visitor to our system, `Oumuamua, was discovered. Its cigar shape baffled people. One scientist and several others thought it and 3I/ATLAS may be alien spacecraft; the ideas are...truly bizarre. (Actually, the motion and behavior of comets — dirty snowballs —  is unpredictable and not fu...

Creation, Evolution, and the Hyrax

Image
Here is a critter that does not seem to be famous outside of sub-Saharan Africa and parts of the Middle East, but Westerners who read their Bibles may recognize the word. Maybe. The Hebrew word can be translated different ways. They look cute, but watch out for nasty sharp big pointy teeth. So what is this beastie? It is complicated. There are distinct species that are markedly different. The rock hyraxes (sometimes called dassies ) have a very involved social structure, whereas the tree hyraxes are nowhere near as social.  Pair of hyraxes, Pexels / Guerrero De la Luz Biblical creationists refer to the created kinds , a concept that has some resemblance to conventional ideas. The kind  is generally placed at the family  level. We have no problem with speciation. There is no evidence for hyrax evolution, but variations are clearly seen. The Master Engineer designed them to be able to adapt for unique lifestyles as their characteristics demonstrate. Hyraxes (or hyraces) are...

Coelacanth Makes Darwin Cry

Image
For a while, the coelacanth was considered a transitional form, using its fins to begin the process of walking. It also disappeared from the fossil record, then reappeared in layers dated later. Whereja go, whadja do? What was probably a backhand at Christianity, they called this reappearance a Lazarus taxon . Thinking people should be given pause because of not only the disappearance and reappearance interpretations of the fossil record, but also the description of the critter's behavior without having seen it in action. The coelacanth has humiliated evolutionists — again. Coelacanth,  NOAA  (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) This fish is endangered, and museums specimens that can be studied are quite rare. After all this time and excitement, the head of one was examined by anatomists. It turns out that much of the anatomy had been wrongly understood for many years. Also, Darwin's disciples say it did not evolve fast enough. Further, all of its internal struc...

Not Loving the Lucy Myth

Image
Ever since a jumble of bones was discovered in 1974, the myth of Australopithecus afarensis  — nicknamed Lucy — has been contentious. Many supporters of evolution on social(ist) media accept the propaganda from the secular science industry about how it is a definitive link between humans and apelike ancestors. If you study for a spell, this smacks of desperation. The skeleton was assembled from several different critters including humans. One of the vertebrae was that of a baboon, a mistake that lasted over forty years that should not have happened. There are more problems as well. Australopithecus afarensis - forensic facial reconstruction, WikiComm / Cicero Moraes ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) Sure, there are similarities between apes and humans. Those can be used to support common design as well as common ancestry. This putative human ancestor was clearly designed to live in the trees . Apes do that. One huge difference not to be kicked away is the feet. Footprints at Laetoli were wro...

Misattributing Evidence for Design

Image
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...

Benefits from Hurricanes?

Image
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...

Myth of Natural Selection in Galápagos Finches

Image
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...

Still no Population III Stars for the Big Bang

Image
A popular internet saying among folks who reject the Big Bang is, "In the beginning, there was nothing. Which exploded." While some supporters downplay the explosion which supposedly began everything,  they affirm the Frankensteined-in cosmic inflation — which is not even a hypothesis . After the secular miracle of the Big Bang, the universe rapidly expanded and stars formed. These were primarily hydrogen and helium. Stars grew old, blew up, scattered debris, formulated the other elements, and all that good stuff. Those first stars formed are called population III. Artist’s impression, field of Population III stars, NOIRLab / NSF / AURA  J. da Silva / Spaceengine / M. Zamani ( CC BY 4.0 ) Just as there is no evidence for the existence of the Oort cloud as a source of long-term comets, there is no evidence of population III stars of the early universe. But the secular science industry requires these things in their cosmic evolution narratives. Interesting that cosmologists g...

Hot Evolution, Salamander in the City

Image
Once again, a comment was made on a post doubting evolution with another claim that "evolution has been seen to occur." Uh huh. With the disingenuous elasticity of definitions, any variation that is seen  is called evolution, as is speciation — the latter is something creationists agree with. Fire salamanders were used as an example of evolution in action. Centuries ago, walls were built around religious buildings. These lizards could not climb the walls, so they were separated from their pals. Each group evolved in its own way. Fire salamander ( Salamandra salamandra ), WikiComm / Petar MiloÅ¡ević ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) Of course, the owlhoot making the remark ignored the fact that they didn't change into something else. They remained fire salamanders. The idea was taken further that building cities changes evolution. The additional claim that religion and cultural practices cause evolution is...truly bizarre. The Master Engineer designed organisms to adapt. Evolution is not a...

Myth of the Age of Reptiles

Image
 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, ...

Dawn of War Between Evolutionary Biologists

Image
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...

Give Thanks that God is Known through Creation

Image
One of the most amazing follies of atheism is its adherents spend time and energy hating God (and often hating Christians), then claim they "lack belief" that he exists. There is no evidence, they say. If they would take off their Darwin spectacles  and honestly look around, they would cease to be atheists. (The same applies to agnostics.) Known as general revelation , the Creator has made himself known quite clearly through his creation. However, people willingly and unrighteously suppress the truth. Esopus Lake from High Banks Preserve , Unsplash / Cowboy Bob Sorensen What would constitute "proof" for an unbeliever? Professing atheists and agnostics demand scientific  proof, but this is illogical. They presuppose and then rail against a "straw god" of their own imaginings instead of dealing with the God of the Bible: He is spirit, and not subject to man-made scientific evidence. God's existence is not restricted to scientists or others who may be con...

Big Cosmic Structures Cause Big Bang Problems

Image
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...

Flightless Birds and Evolutionary Storytelling

Image
Proponents of evolution believe that they have evidence, yes? Many also claim that their evidence that destroys creation science, yes? There are many instances where evolutionists claim to prove or give evidence for their speculations but fail. The idea that flightless birds such as the chicken-sized kiwi, the huge ostrich, and several others devolved from a common flying ancestor was put forward. People read the ostentatious claims and believe them — but fail to use critical thinking, which shows how evidence works against the narrative. North Island Brown Kiwi, Wikimedia Commons / The.Rohit ( CC BY 2.0 ) The story is that these birds devolved from one flighted ancestor, but if the secular science industry was thinking matters through, they would see that they would have a better story if it was the opposite! At any rate, there is no fossil evidence to support their claims. The preposterous idea that a loss of traits is evidence for evolution was used, but that remains absurd to thin...

Beyond the Myth of Vestigial Organs

Image
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...
