Piltdown Superman

Darwin's acolytes are unable to accept the hand they have been dealt, so they deal from the bottom of the deck, mark cards, and essentially cheat up a storm. Soft tissues in dinosaur bones have given them apoplexy, so they try to make excuses and defy logic. Some even deny the facts, such as the existence of soft tissues. (One village evolutionist made a comment on a post about C-14 in dinosaur bones , "It's rare, which suggests contamination." In other words, "Nuh UH! I make up my own truth!") Hemoglobin is also a huge problem. Haemoblobin, Wikimedia Commons / Zephyris ( CC BY-SA 3.0 ) Secularists try to evosplain with scenarios that do not fit real-world data. Also, have you ever noticed that the age of the earth has dramatically increased over the years? Papa Darwin needs deep time his wonders to perform, and conventional scientists do their best to give them to him. However, deep time works against soft tissues, C-14, hemoglobin, and other things found ...

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...

 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, ...

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....

Crappie Crankbait from the Darwin Ranch specializes in ancient aquatic reptiles, and he was giving a lecture in town. It was a follow up to  his ichthyosaur talk , this time about mosasaurs. Dr. Crankbait gave old talking points about the critters. Yes, these reptiles were big, about 50 feet or 15 meters long. Their order is Squamata because they are supposedly related to lizards that left land and returned to the sea. It has been assumed that mosasaurs were poor swimmers. When I publicly asked how anyone knows these things, Dr. Crankbait ignored me. Mosasaurus hoffmannii skeleton (cropped and adjusted), Wikimedia Commons / Ghedoghedo ( CC BY-SA 3.0 ) Down Mississippi way in the spring of 2025, researchers found a sizeable sea dragon. Some of Darwin's acolytes get on the prod when I point out that evolutionists have presuppositions. Then some insist that creationists are the ones who do that, not "scientists." (That is, no true scientist questions evolution.) But the r...

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 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...

Paleontologists see what appears to be fuzz in dinosaur fossils, so they tell a tale of protofeathers. Since most evolutionists believe that dinosaurs evolved into birds, the story needs plot points. If dinosaurs had feathers, they must have originated from something, so this possible fuzz is mow protofeathers . They keep majoring on minors, tap dancing around numerous fundamental flaws in their scenario. F'rinstance, the skeletal compositions between birds and dinosaurs are radically different. Also, feathers have specified complexity and there are different feathers for different functions. Fuzzy T. rex made with AI Image Generator What would dinofuzz do for the animal? Make it cute? Mayhaps scientists could venture further into Making Things Up™ and give dinofuzz and "evolutionary purpose", such as a defense mechanism because it tickles predators. It may have been for warmth. When looked at in just the right way, it could resemble hair, so they were going to evolve int...

The existence of soft tissues in dinosaur fossils has been a tremendous problem for evolutionists, so they have spent a great deal of time working at the fudge factory. (That is, fudging rescuing devices for the problem.) Some appear to mitigate the damage when important details are omitted. A one-off anomaly or two could be set aside, but there are numerous examples of blood vessels, proteins, DNA, and all that good stuff existing for alleged millions of years. Reality sits at the back of the narrative bus; the story is more important. Some scientists as well as Darwin's Flying Monkeys™ on teh interwebz denied their existence at first, but many are finally admitting the existence of soft tissues. They cannot get past biblical creationists who point out the facts and implications. Smug evolutionists have come up with yet another rescuing device called crosslinking . They think they can keep their deep time and use it to evosplain other things dear to their cold hearts. Logic? No t...

Interesting how the western part of America has so many things of interest to geology and paleontology, yes? Lots of national parks and national monuments protected by the government. Most are quite large. Dinosaur National Monument spans parts of two states, Utah and Colorado. This national monument appears in science news frequently, especially because of dinosaurs. Obviously. There is also some interesting geology. That and geology bring along deep time propaganda. Someone can also go camping, river rafting, hiking, and things. Hiker at Dinosaur National Monument, NPS / Jacob W. Frank (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) The uniformitarian narrative has rocks building up over hundreds of millions of years. Slowly. The Morrison Formation contains the dinosaurs, and they say it is 150 million years old. The story of how the fossils formed is out of kilter with the usual tale. There are details of what is actually observed with the fossils and the rocks that are far be...

For a long time, it was thought that only hard things like bones, shells, and things could be preserved by fossilization. Dinosaur soft tissues threw secular paleontology for a loop. Also, improvements in technology and skill yielded fossilized things like brains and jellyfish. Consider that footprints are delicate. Take a stroll on the seashore and make tracks. Turn around and watch the waves take them away. Fossil dinosaur trackways in some places need to be studied in a hurry before water destroys them. Others are discovered and they can be studied at leisure. Dinosaur tracks,  United States Geological Survey (Usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Tracks in Oxfordshire, England, made some news. Secular scientists assume them to be millions of years old ( huge chunks of time are like toys for then ), but that raises a prairie schooner-full of questions and doubts. Consider that these pristine prints had to lay there waiting to be discovered while undisturbed by all...

It has been rightly said that trust takes a great deal of time and effort to earn, but can be ruined in an instant. Darwin's disciples have been caught doing shoddy research, ignoring pertinent evidence (the fallacy of exclusion ), seeing only one possible explanation of evidence, lying, and doing outright fraud. Then they wonder why the public is increasingly reluctant to trust their morality. These are the same sneaky sidewinders who redefine words making them appear to support the Bearded Buddha's concepts. People are thinking dinosaurs had feathers, but evidence does not support their claims. Assembled with components from  Clker  clipart Darwin's Flying Monkeys™ online will swoop down on creationists, jabbering, "We got a study!" (Many people are prone to believe practically anything if it seems to support their preconceptions, especially studies.) "A scientist said it's a simple matter for a scale to become a feather." Not hardly! On at least ...

When soft tissues in dinosaurs were found, Darwin's disciples denied it. Accusations of faulty laboratory procedures, sample contamination, and other excuses were made. Even so, discoveries of soft tissues and saying those things should   not exist  continued. Things kept getting worse for evolutionists. Cellular proteins were found in dinosaur fossils , and so has DNA . Not only is the word fossil  used loosely because not all fossils are permineralized, a new study definitively confirmed that dinosaur collagen exists in fossils. Modified postage stamp of an  Edmontosaurus  head from the author's collection The hip bone of an  Edmontosaurus  was studied with several techniques and identified the remnants of collagen. Molecules had degraded, but they were clearly identified as collagen. When compared to protein sequences of other animals, those of dinosaurs were unique. It is commendable that the researchers admitted to the evidence, which is a huge pr...

One crisp autumn day, I was riding out Folly Road past Stinking Lake (which is not as bad as it sounds). Riding down from the Darwin Ranch was Al Buehterawl. We reined in and commenced to jawing. Eventually the subject turned to birds supposedly evolving from dinosaurs. He knows full well that I oppose the idea that dinosaurs evolved into birds. When I pointed out that birds existed at the time of dinosaurs and museums are deceptive about this fact , Al Buehterawl took a deep breath and moved the goalposts with, "They were primitive  birds." Owl, Pexels / Simon Rizzi Darwinists are often deceptive. That's right, I said it!  Most (but not all) evolutionists believe that dinosaurs evolved from birds, treating it like an established fact despite contrary evidence. Their terminology is changing, referring to some reptiles as "non-avian dinosaurs" as a way of reinforcing their belief. For that matter, calling something "primitive" means less evolved, whic...

Theories, models, worldviews, and other things need to be internally consistent. Atheism fails in this regard and is unliveable, so  professing atheists (Rom. 1:18-19) have to stand on the biblical worldview. Likewise, believers in particles-to-paleontologist evolution often need to borrow from biblical creation science. A student who claimed to believe the Bible lost faith because of fossil dinosaur footprints. He couldn't imagine  a global Flood allowing for footprints. Problem is, he did not check for that internal consistency in creationist models, so he made assumptions instead of doing his homework. Dinosaur tracks at Jurassic Moenave Formation, US Geological Survey (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) I'll allow that it's still something to consider. A flood is a busy time, especially when it's global in scale. Checking on creation models of the Genesis Flood shows a specific model that does a good job of explaining tracks, eggs, scavenging (they...

The fact that soft tissues in dinosaur bones has been found is a serious problem for evolutionists, and they know it. Papa Darwin depends on deep time, so the secular science industry presents fake science to take the tear out of Darwin's eye. Desperately devoted evolutionists online show dishonesty, ignorance, or something else when they try to wave off soft tissues (It was a fluke or two? Nope.) There are many examples of soft tissues that are public knowledge. The latest attempt by secularists is to make collagen last millions of years. Triceratops at the Dinosaur Journey Museum , US Dept of Transportation /  aschweigert   (Usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) The disingenuous science here is that researchers did not actually test stuff, but yee haw boy howdy! It sure does look good on paper. Also, review of the work seems to have been a festival of bias confirmation, no contrary views (especially from those yucky creationists) would be considered. That is ind...

In Through the Looking-Glass by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (writing as Lewis Carroll), the White Queen boasted of having been able to believe six impossible things before breakfast. That book was published in 1871, and Charles Darwin had published On the Origin of Species  in 1859. Believing impossible things seems to have been growing in popularity. Although the idea of dinosaurs evolving into birds is treated as a scientific fact by many of Darwin's disciples, actual scientific facts are ignored or denied. Evidence and dating systems of secularists work against them, but they still believe impossible things. Archaeopteryx by Dr. Thompsons Seifenpulver , ca. 1900 An early attempt to bolster Darwinism was Archaeopteryx . This bad boy should have been left alone, as most secular paleontologists admitted that it was just a bird, not a transitional form between dinosaurs and birds. Secular dating methods as showing Archie as being older than dinosaurs. Yet some secular paleontologists ...

Off the southern edge of England, in the English Channel, lies the Isle of Wight. It is known for landscapes, chalk, and geological features, so the locals were probably not overly surprised to learn that a new ankylosaur was discovered there. Ankylosaurs were herbivores. These critters looked like turtles gone wrong, what with all that armor and all. One curiosity is that they are usually found fossilized on their backs . Also, like other creatures of that time, evolution is assumed but there is no evidence of it. Edmontonia rugosidens, Wikimedia Commons / Mariana Ruiz (PD) The way they were buried in sediment is a curiosity to secular scientists, and they have some ideas that do not pass the sniff test. So many ankylosaurs were clumsy, fell into rivers and floated out to sea where they were buried? This child lacks belief that such an idea is plausible. Indeed, the more reasonable explanation (although streng verboten  among Darwin's acolytes) is the mechanisms of the global Gen...

If you mount up and ride out Montana way and look near Glendive, you will come across  Makoshika State Park . It takes up an impressive 11,538 acres and does the usual state park things like camping, hiking, hunting, and so on.  Makoshika also has activities that they call educational because it is a part of a massive playground of paleontologists, the Hell Creek Formation. That means dinosaur bones and fossils. There is a wagon trainload of them for study and for secularists to evosplain the demise of dinosaurs. Rock formation in Makoshika State Park, Wikimedia Commons / Larry D. Moore ( CC BY 4.0 ) Storytellers commence chattering about the Chicxulub impact by a big rock from space and how it was responsible for dinosaur extinction. That story is unraveling . Also, dinosaur blood vessel grooves and other things are still in existence, but should not exist in the conventional deep time narrative. If secularists stripped away evolutionary presuppositions, they could exam...

Roland Meadows had me ride over to his place for a visit, and his fiancée Stormie Waters was also stopping by. She wanted to go over some of her prospecting charts, then some details of their upcoming nuptials. Conversation wandered, and Stormie said she wanted to have children. She mentioned reading that Maisasaura  was a good mother dinosaur. This idea came from Jack Horner. He had been involved in some searching found several of their fossilized nests. It seemed that the young received care from their parents.. Maiasaura with young, Flickr / Eden, Janine and Jim ( CC BY 2.0 ) While I have no doubt that Stormie and Roland would be caring parents, doubt has been raised about the Horner scenario for  Maiasaura . He holds the majority view that dinosaurs evolved into birds. Jack "saw" traits of birds caring for their hatchlings in the dinosaur fossils. I reckon he generalized a mite too much, as not all birds are good parents (especially brood parasites , the dirty birds). A...
