When Ukraine was controlled by the Soviet Union, a nuclear power plant had a serious meltdown in 1986. People were killed in the explosion and many died of radiation poisoning in later months. A huge number of people from Pripyat and neighboring areas were forcibly and hurriedly evacuated. There is a large Exclusion Zone that was off-limits for years, but now there are people in it. Some areas are too hot (very radioactive) and can only be visited briefly or when wearing special suits. Strangely, the number of offspring of dogs left behind is increasing. Dog at Chernobyl, Flickr / Jorge Franganillo ( CC BY 2.0 ) Intense doses of radiation are usually a death sentence. If not very quickly, then because of cellular damage. Cancer-related diseases often result. The Master Engineer has put many things in place to protect and repair our cells and DNA, but they can only do so much. One would expect the dogs of the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone to be dying, mutating — and radioactive. Many appear

The science of genetics, pioneered by Gregor Mendel (peas be upon him), shows that the differences we see in people are from a relatively small number of genetic variations. One may think that people from opposite parts of the globe would have radically different DNA. Nope. What is featured below contains an interesting story about how a Christian couple adopted two children from Asia. There were several instances of Providence involved, as well as love. In addition, this family agreed to have some DNA testing — with surprising results. Family in sunset, Pixabay / Gerd Altmann The parents are of European descent and the adopted children are from East Asia. The differences in the mitochondrial DNA tests were surprisingly small. This fits with what they Bible tells us: We are all descendants of Adam and Eve, and that there are no races. We also see even more evidence that the world was created recently. At some point in your life, you’ve probably wondered about your heritage. . . . Thank

Propaganda and bad logic seem to be increasing more and more from purveyors of tadpole-to-tiger evolution. Funding is provided to research evolution, but study on it: How is that beneficial outside of keeping the circle unbroken of funding evolutionary science? Although the secular science industry maintains that evolution is essential for science, especially medicine, we have seen that is false. Scientists study frog patterns. Since it involves the science of genetics that was initiated by Gregor Mendel (peas be upon him), there may still be practical value. Otherwise, it's more evolutionary study for its own sake. Striped Marsh Frog on Carpet (cropped), Flickr / Ursula Skjonnemand ( CC BY-NC 2.0 ) Mayhaps you've noticed that among the patterns on frogs and their kin are also stripes. Lots of them. Darwin's disciples presuppose that the stripes evolved, and that evolution is the only possible answer. Those are not logical ideas. They also neglect to question if stripes an

When given the right conditions, DNA can last a surprisingly long time without breaking down completely. There is a cave in Siberia that yielded information about the mysterious Denisovans, but very little is known about them. Like other people groups, they shared their DNA. This cave had mitochondrial (mt) DNA from three  groups of people, but researchers could not determine if they lived there at the same time. It appears that groups handed off that piece of real estate. There was a buildup of sediments in there as well, but secular dating methods are in disarray. Evolutionists are determined to force-fit different people groups into their classifications, but if they stripped away their assumptions, they might realize the differences between the groups are within ranges of people that we see even now. It would have been even more interesting if scientists went beyond examining mtDNA and considered nuclear DNA as well. At any rate, what was actually found is in keeping with biblical

Some people throw around the German word doppelgänger  when they see a person who strongly resembles another, and some people look for a supernatural aspect. (Christian Rock band Daniel Amos used it as an analogy for our sin nature .) While there is nothing supernatural about the doppelgänger gene, more formally known as the Signal Recognition Particle 14, it spooks Darwin's acolytes. Yet again, the science of genetics (which was pioneered by Gregor Mendel, peas be upon him) has been unkind to evolution. It seems to this child that  doppelgänger genes are an Easter egg hidden by our Creator for modern scientists to find. DNA, Pixabay / Gerd Altmann Remember when I mentioned planograms? Those are like maps by which big retail stores are told where to lay out merchandise. I compare those to the evolutionary Tree of Life and clades. Evolutionists have their planograms where living things are expected to belong, but SRP 14 is mighty recalcitrant. Similar living things have similar tra

Although it only lives in a small area of the eastern United States, the Venus flytrap is quite famous. Cultivated versions are available for sale, but in its native habitat, it is endangered. People like to try to trigger it to close, but the Venus flytrap discriminates. The right areas must be touched a certain number of times, then that 100-millisecond trap springs shut. Potential prey seldom escapes, but this plant is still checking on what was caught. If it had received a false positive, it relaxes. Otherwise, it begins digestion after five more stimuli occur. Venus Flytrap, Flickr / Mark Freeth ( CC BY 2.0 ) The entire activity of Snappy has been studied all the way down to the DNA, and researchers learned that the best-watered plants have the fastest closure times. There is still more to learn, and Darwin's acolytes are using typical "it evolved" nonsensical words — nonsensical, because they are used to bamboozle the masses because they have no evidence. In reali

It has been said that the works of Charles Darwin on evolution through natural selection managed to kill God. That is the opposite of the truth. There is an abundance of evidence linked here and other places refuting evolution and deep time, but also affirming recent creation and the young earth. People believe because they want to, not because they are compelled by the evidence . In fact, some Darwin doubters are becoming more vocal , and there would probably be more speaking out if they were not in fear of losing prestige or even their jobs. Meanwhile, fundamentalist evolutionists insist that genetics supports evolution. Not hardly! DNA, RNA, Amino acids codon table , public domain, mostly modified at LunaPic Because evolutionists interpret data with presuppositions rooted in atheistic naturalism, they have their biases confirmed — even when the evidence shows otherwise. These are the folks that gave us so-called vestigial structures, "junk" DNA, and other hindrances to med

This is not a pleasant subject, but not because it is a problem for creation. The object of interest is astonishingly ugly. The more pleasant name sand puppy  is not as common as naked mole-rat . Even so, they are under scrutiny because of several interesting traits — especially longevity. Naked mole-rats are different from other mole-rats, and get their name from being mostly hairless. They inhabit one area of Africa. Being moles, they dwell in underground burrows and have a queen in charge. Strange that these mammals are cold-blooded. Naked Mole-Rat, Wikimedia Commons / Roman Klementschitz, Wien ( CC BY-SA 3.0 ) Why do they live so long? They don't age like other creatures and researchers want to know why. The information may be used to help human lifespans. Darwinists believe that mutations are vital for evolution, but the greater the mutation rate, lifespans decrease and diseases increase. Evolutionary predictions fail. Naked mole-rats were given a highly-efficient maintenance

Most people have heard about or even seen people with amazing abilities, going far beyond stunts or amusing tricks. There are human calculators, people with brilliance that they use to earn doctorates and very young ages, exceptional musicians, and more. Many skills such as music can be enhanced with practice, but other people seem to be born with them. Some folks have talent, but cannot reach certain levels even after practicing every day for years. W.A. Mozart's family was modest in talent, but in his almost thirty-six years of life, he composed over 800 pieces. Sergei Rachmaninoff's third piano concerto is considered one of the most technically difficult to perform, but people like Yuja Wang do it impressively. It says a lot about her, and also about the composer himself. Violin concertos are not exactly easy, either. Pianist Yuja Wang (image enhanced), Flickr / eXploration Etoile ( CC BY 2.0 ) How could they evolve, and for what purpose? While Darwin's disciples may ev

Charles Robert Darwin took the ancient pagan concept of evolution that had been kicked around for hundreds of years, gussied it up, and speculated about universal common ancestry through natural selection. Traditional Darwinism began to fade, but the modern synthesis  saved it from the scrap heap of history. Incorporating the science of genetics initiated by Gregor Mendel (peas be upon him), mutations  became vitally important. Time, mutations, and natural selection are a trifecta. While Darwin's cheerleaders claim that genetics and mutations support evolution, that is the opposite of the truth. DNA and Mutations, modified from Pixabay / Arek Socha DNA is a complex language or code that is comprised of four letters . A mutation is a transcription error, such as typing an account number of  12 02 1809 as 12 20 1809. Most mutations are harmful. Many have been considered neutral. However, they still add to the genetic load. Consider when running a registry cleaner on a Windows comput

Russell Watchtower, who heads up the Ministry of Truth at the Darwin Ranch, likes to say that time is the hero of the story. Evolutionists often say that given enough time, anything can happen. Like that silly thing about monkeys typing the works of Shakespeare . Not happening, Hoss. When using the science of genetics pioneered by Gregor Mendel (peas be upon him), human DNA has about three billion  letters. Well, four letters occurring naturally: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Then they get arranged. Waiting , Vladimir Makovsky , 1875 Our cousins, according to evolutionary dogma, are chimpanzees. If they were going to evolve into humans, they would be much obliged if someone would make up the 300 million-letter deficit between us that chimps are lacking. But that genetic material is not arriving on the Wells Fargo Wagon. In addition, it's that pesky old mutations thing. The amount of time to get even a few letters to line up in a useful way would take bill

One of the frustrations of writing creation science material is the need to say things again, especially regarding things that normal people already know. However, there are advances in science that reinforce the truth of creation. In this case, males and females are different. There are people who deny science and say that we are not binary. One new finding shows that we are different all the way down to the genetic level . There are still more discoveries that our Creator stashed away to be discovered. Man and Woman, RGBStock / Scott Snyder Atheists and other believers in universal common ancestor evolution despise the truth of creation, but except for those in the secular science industry that support political leftism, they realize that they agree with us that there are only two sexes. What they will not admit is that this is the way our Creator planned it. Every computer program, or ‘software’, can be reduced to a sequence of two numbers—zero and one. . . . In the binary system, i

Earth has Rubisco. A lot of it. This enzyme is important in photosynthesis, and some scientists wanted to find a way to improve it. They dug down into Ruby's gene sequences to find enzymes that could be enhanced to increase the production of modern crops. As usual, they presupposed deep time, then added "evolutionary history" and wanted to bring back genes from millions of Darwin years ago. This assumption had them considering so-called important moments in the history of Solanaceae plants. Bell Peppers, Unsplash / Vino Li Rubisco, don't take your love to Darwin town. In fact, the malarkey about ancient enzymes that "likely existed" was misleading as well as poor reasoning — they used modern plants in their Rubisco sequencing. Mayhaps it's because evolutionists can't find any evidence of its alleged ancestor. Such evolutionary guesswork keeps coming up empty because life was created recently. The most abundant protein on Earth is probably an enzyme (

Believers in molecules-to-microbiologist evolution are constantly looking for evidence to support their conjectures, and that includes links from allegedly simple to more advanced life forms. Some attempted to do that with prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Remember from biology class that bacteria do not have a distinct nucleus, but eukaryotes are cells that have nuclei and form people, animals, plants and other things. These organisms are observed under a microscope, but one bacterium is huge in comparison to the rest. This bad boy is called  Thiomargarita magnifica , but its aesthetic appeal is not exactly magnificent. Nanographene oxide interacting with bacteria, TEM  Wellcome Collection  ( CC BY 4.0 ) Mr. Magnifica is impressive in that it has (technical word alert) a bunch  of genetic material inside its membranous pouch. Some of Darwin's disciples attempted to say that it's a missing link, but one of the frequent fallacies they have is ignoring other possible explanations. In t

In their efforts to thwart the work of creationists and Intelligent Design groups, many proponents of universal common ancestor evolution will ignore testing and empirical science, preferring instead to use the complex scientific principle of Making Things Up™. Other evolutionists use this hooey to confirm their biases. One of these is the concept of gene duplication  as a means of producing new genetic information. It supposedly effects evolution, but cannot be supported by actual science. Indeed, one would be hard pressed to find geneticists who believe such a thing. Gene duplication, Wikimedia Commons / National Institutes of Health (public domain, slightly modified) Genes get duplicated, so beneficial mutations can accumulate in one of them — that's the thinking. As with so many things used to support deep time, evolution, etc. asserted by the secular science industry, a passel of assumptions are made. But most mutations are by far neutral or deleterious. In addition, any ver

Joe Nexnelsrent dropped by the Darwin Ranch (out Folly Road near Deception Pass) for a symposium on "junk" DNA. It did not go well. Some of these owlhoots still cling to the notion that the human genome has vestiges from our evolutionary past, even though that nonsense has been debunked. Parasites (the Greek root word essentially means "eating at the table of another") are a poor comparison. Non-coding DNA can resemble parasitic behavior in the way it spreads, but it does not drain a host. The science and logic involved should bemarrass serious scientists. DNA background image: RGBStock /  Tomislav Alajbeg People in the secular science industry need  to find ways to protect their evolution narrative, so they make proclamations when they really don't understand enough about the subjects under consideration. This is based on a naturalistic mindset, viewing things through Darwin spectacles, then confirming their biases. Arguing from insufficient evidence occurs fr

Although tetra  means four , here it is a short form of  Tetragonopterus , a genus name meaning "square finned" or "four-sided-wing". Tetras are popular with aquarists because some are quite colorful. The  Mexican tetra  is unimpressive in appearance, and has two forms. The most common lives where one would expect to see fish doing fish stuff, but the other is the blind cavefish . (We had some in our aquarium, and thought they were gentle and got along with other fish.) They exhibit changes that are erroneously claimed to be examples of evolution . Blind cavefish, Wikimedia Commons / Syrio  ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) As in other cases, Darwin's disciples try to bamboozle people by saying loss of traits are examples of onward and upward evolution. Blind cavefish have shown that they are designed to adapt . For that matter, the blind and sighted varieties cannot be considered separate species , so there's nothing exhibited that can be legitimately claimed as evolution

Time and time again, Darwin's disciples are trapped by their erroneous presuppositions. They filter observed evidence through their worldviews  and are continually surprised when their speculations do not match the facts. Rescuing devices and obambulating weasel words are utilized. As regular readers have seen, secular cosmologists are constantly surprised that facts do not align with preconceptions. This also happens in biology, paleontology, and so on. "Earlier than thought", "Later than thought" and similar terms are vague but unapologetic admissions of error. They are used in discussions of ancient DNA. One major problem for those of the deep-time persuasion is that they assume the earth is billions of years old despite frequent evidences to the contrary . It was extremely difficult to get labs to carbon date diamonds because they "knew" there would be no C14. Wrong. Dinosaurs and other creatures "cannot" have soft tissues and discernable

Riekert Darkens, evolutionary astrologer and part-time carnival worker from the Darwin Ranch, went to the town and gave a lecture in the saloon. He perpetuated the myth that chimpanzees have a genome that is ninety-eight percent similar to that of humans. That was terrible science when it was first promoted. Not only did Darwin's votaries select what they wanted to compare and ignored the rest, but the samples were contaminated by human DNA. Since then, more honest and capable researcher have brought that percentage down to about eighty-five percent . Pixabay /  qimono It strikes this child as extremely disingenuous for evolutionists to not only keep the similarity myth going, but to also act like other obvious details are unimportant. People with a grain of sense can see that we are unlike chimps, despite the assertions of feral atheists on social(ist) media. They despise the fact that humans and animals were created separately; humans are unique. As indicated several times before

Edited 6 May 2022. Rails (or Rallidae) are a large group of birds found in many areas of the world. Many like marshy areas and forests, and several species are found on islands. It seems like with a name like rail , they would be fond of trains, but it comes from rasle , an Old French word. The Virginia Rail   is found in various places in North America. This, like several other rails, can fly. What gets the attention of the Darwin Death Cult™ is that many island species have lost that ability. Therefore, evolution. Not hardly! Cropped from Wikimedia Commons /  Francesco Veronesi  ( CC by-SA 2.0 ) It is both amusing and confusing that evolutionists consider the loss of a trait evidence for their beliefs.  No new genetic information is added , either. Evolution is supposed to be onward and upward, but it is so malleable to explain everything ( thereby explaining nothing ), even loss affirms evolution.  The Bearded Buddha hijacked natural selection, originally a concept developed by a cr
