When the hands at the Darwin Ranch head into town from Deception Pass, don't play cards with them; they have a reputation for dealing from the bottom of the deck. Although common-ancestor evolution is supposed to be upward and increasing in complexity, these owlhoots have the notion that a loss of function or information is evidence for evolution ! They use a similar bad argument about the genetic code. Office of Biological and Environmental Research of the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. science.energy.gov/ber/ Image source here . Use on this site does not imply endorsement. Your computer uses a binary code to do all its amazing (and sometimes annoying) functions. The genetic code is quarternary, which is far more complex. From that, a passel of things develop with various RNA molecules, proteins, enzymes, and the like. Evolutionists claim that the specified complexity of the DNA language is not complex enough, so there's no need for the Creator. These

We hear about first responders frequently in the news, those people who are the first to arrive at an emergency situation . Generally, people think of police, firefighters, medical personnel and the like. You and I have a passel of our own medical first responders, but you can't see them. Made at Atom Smasher They live in and on you, and help keep you well. I'm talking about viruses and bacteria that work with your immune system. People think those are bad things, but I reckon that it's because we only hear about the bad ones, or the good ones that got a mite confused and became mavericks . Originally, everything was created very good , but things started going downhill and degenerating. We still have a non-evolved, intelligently-designed system for dealing with infections and diseases. It’s the largest security force in the world. A teeming network of first responders that live on nearly every surface of your body, inside and out. They’re not part of the body, lik

When our eyes are accustomed to darkness, we are able to see a very small amount of light from quite a long way off. (Smart cowboys on sentry duty didn't smoke because the flame and the coal could easily be spotted. This is a "no brainer" for modern military personnel.) When in a dark room, people tend to look for the small bit of light that is coming in under the door or whatever. Image credit: Pixabay / Hans It has been theorized for decades that the human eye can see a single photon— "That's terrific news! Uh, what's a photon?" Without getting too physics-al with you, light has puzzled scientists since way back when. Some theorized that light has a wave nature, others said it is comprised of particles. Seems to be both. A photon is the smallest possible unit, and they suspicion that it has no mass. For those who want more details, click here . So anyway, a test has been done to show that we are able to see the tiniest known unit of ligh

Charles Darwin was baffled by the complexity of the human eye, but as science has advanced, it is far more complicated and efficient than he could have dreamed. Darwinistas like to say that the eye was poorly designed, but such uninformed claims have been refuted . There are many amazing features of the eye of which we are unaware that were put in place in the beginning by our Creator. Image credit: Clker clipart There's an old expression about the eyes being the window to the soul. Maybe, but they're a window that my ophthalmologist uses to check on my diabetes and then sends his report back to the referring physician. In my line of work as a venomous snake wrangler at Pernicious Whatzit Widgits (come on, do you think I'd tell where I really  work?), my eyes are always moving here and there. Lots of muscle coordination, not to mention focus on things at varying distances, the eye is continually washing itself, it is very much like a camera. By the way, only humans

Know why so many icons of evolution get put out to pasture? Because they're wrong. The hands at the Darwin Ranch aren't overmuch concerned, since they get paid for coming up with stories anyway. The latest story to go kaput is the story of how bird flight evolved as presented by Ken Dial. English Partridge In Flight  by Archibald Thorburn, 1898 Dial's "explanation" (which he should have known better than to propose, what with being a pilot and all) was ludicrous from the get-go, but apparently the other ranch hands had been into the fire water, or maybe they just didn't have anything even remotely plausible that evoked evolution and excluded God the Creator. Other evolutionists discredited Dial's fantasy, but didn't seem to be interested in all the other specified complexities involved for a critter to have powered flight. Your tax dollars at work, Pilgrim. A simplistic story about bird flight influenced a generation of evolution students, but

I have to admit that I was confused about the invention of Velcro. It wasn't from studying the gecko as I had thought (and possibly written), Velcro was inspired by burrs on a dog's fur . Even so, it was an early example of biomimetics (studying nature for applications that benefit humans). Interesting that when man imitates God's creation, he has limited success. Anyway, the gecko is  getting studied for biomimetics as well. Gecko image credit: Pixabay /  katurahdesigns The gecko's ability to "stick" to surfaces, become unstuck, repeat as much as necessary, is based on atomic forces and the hairs on their feet. But tape, Velcro, and so on wear out, unlike the critter's footies. Naturally, someone is going to invoke Evolution of the Gaps so Darwin can get the glory, even though they have no reasonable explanation or model. The actual reasonable conclusion is that the Creator designed them this way — and we can benefit from studying them. Geckos h

When the question is asked, "Why did this feature evolve?", the answer is often a simplistic, "Because the organism wanted it to", or some such. (Almost like orders were placed at an annual convention: "I'll have night vision, please".) Proponents of dust-to-Darwin evolution fail at explaining how something allegedly evolved, but adding in why is beyond answering. That is because, according to evolutionists, their process is without design, so they're contradicting themselves by implying that something evolved on purpose. Can't have it both ways, old son. Image credit: Pixabay / markovojkic Turtle shells are for protection, sure. But a turtle is much more than a reptile with a protective outer casing has properties of architectural design . (Did you know that the Eastern box turtle has a kind of antifreeze ?) Shell, skeleton, muscles, lungs — all were designed by the Creator to work together as a unit. Evolutionists found a fossil and

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen Imagine if you will a world that his hostile to human life. Everything has adapted, from the leaves of grass to insects to larger animals, for the sole purpose of destroying the human colonists The planet has double Earth's gravity, has unpredictable violent weather, earthquakes, and more. The colonists are losing the war for survival, but refuse to leave for one of the more hospitable worlds. Welcome to Pyrrus. This scenario came from author Harry Harrison (Henry Maxwell Dempsey) in his 1960 novel Deathworld. (Somebody slipped up, and this is one of his works that became public domain in the United States.) The colonists have a multitude of weapons, including a blaster that quickly ejects from its holster and into the owner's hand: Something whizzed in through the open window, tearing a hole in the protective screen. Kerk blasted it without changing stride, without even knowing he had done it. The decision didn't take long. Geared to swift

Nice planet we have here. Why would we want to leave it? More than that, there's a great deal to show that Earth was made for life — nothing else is like it. Some folks are excited about the possibility of sending a manned vehicle to Mars, and that would require a long period of time in space. Activity on the International Space Station is helping to ascertain what long periods in microgravity can do to a person, and it's not pretty. People have done some impressive things in space travel, but we've spent most of that time still benefiting from proximity to Earth. Those planet-sized deflector shields that God set up have protected us for a few thousand years. Image credit: STS-116 / NASA Even this close to Earth, spacefarers are exposed to high levels of radiation. Wonder what will happen between here and Mars, and on Mars? Meanwhile, over Venus way, the electric field is five times that of earth. Scientists wonder why. The moon Titan as well as Venus are losing

One time, people at the workplace were getting a mite talkative. I said, "Sounds like a herd of Tibetan pack animals". After they gave me a blank stare, I said, "Yak yak yak!" Yeah, I know, supposed to be spelled " yack ", but I just had to make a play on words. But have you ever considered the big, shaggy beast? Image credit: Pixabay / Simon When you look at the picture, you can see that they are related to cattle. They are used in the same way: milk, chees e (hard to find around these parts) , hides, food, pack animals, and so on, so they're important for the survival of the humans up there. In fact, yaks can interbreed with the more common kinds. But don't be looking for cowboys bringing them to Texas for beef and saddling up because they don't do well in lower temperatures. Not only did God give them the ability to adapt to the thin air, but also the cold temperatures that they prefer. There are some fascinating inner mechanisms that

How many times have you been warned to watch for word definitions? Those owlhoots at the Darwin Ranch have been known to deal from the bottom of the deck in order to get what that want: for you to believe in common-ancestor evolution. If that means a bit of the ol' switcheroo on word definitions, so much the better. In Evolutionspeak, a word doesn't mean what you think it means. Based on an image from Clker clipart Of course, when you deal with certain applications, definitions are in order. Reel: Scottish dancing, or something you go fishing with? Default: normal setting in software, or you're in a world of hurt on your bank loan? Metal: that hard stuff that is used in building construction, or an astronomer saying any element heavier than hydrogen and helium? We expect that. But when evolutionists change the meaning to suit their purposes, that's mighty low. In fact, it's downright degenerate. Well, no, degenerate is being used in a flexible way (like the

It's easy to dislike ants, I'll allow. They get in the house, spoil picnics, crawl up your leg, and other nuisance things. Ever have an ant farm as a kid? I didn't. Anyway, many of us like to stop and watch them carry things that are proportionally larger than they are and wonder how they can do that — and maybe want that ability ourselves.Well, some people are using biomimetics and thinking that mayhaps they can get inspiration from ants for robot designs. Image credit: Openclipart There was a study on the things, and it was discovered that they their structure is conducive to carrying. Part of this is that since their exoskeletons are so light, they do not have to carry their own weight, so they can focus on getting something from here and bringing it over there. Of course, the study praised evolution, blessed be! What they should have done is realize that the evidence shows the skill of their Designer. Now, I’m far from being an entomologist, but the diver

Darwinists have a corral-full of rescuing devices to be utilized when observations do not fit their paradigm. One of these is convergent evolution, where different organisms independently evolved similar traits, even though there is no plausible mechanism or evidence. Some of these convergent evolution evasions are quite outlandish . Image credits: Burmese python (top), Pixabay / skeeze Emperor boa (bottom), Pixabay / sipa There are distinct differences in critters, but since they have some aspects in common, it's "evidence" that they evolved from a common ancestor. It's disallowed to even consider the more reasonable explanation: they were designed and equipped by their Creator to diversify within genetic limits and fill ecological niches. (That's right, creationists do accept speciation .) A recent study of pythons and boas reached the stunning conclusion that, even though they diversified, they did not change into something else. Convergent evolution

Where does inspiration come from? Secular scientists have tried to deal with metaphysical questions based on their materialistic philosophies (such as free will, ethics, and so on) as if such things were a physical part of the brain. Not much success. Searching for naturalistic origins of imagination, inspiration, and so on are not exactly in their areas of expertise. Image credit: Freeimages / Keith Syvinski There are different kinds of inspiration that people get, such as music, poetry, prose, the desire to get something accomplished, communicating a message, architecture, and so on. People have different motives, too, whether it's to impress others, problem solving, to give glory to God, and other possibilities. But getting an inspiration and using imagination involves knowledge as well. The design of life, the universe, and everything testifies to the brilliance of our Creator. So, how do we come into this? Ain't no way such things could have evolved, they are gifts

In the 1972 classic movie The Cowboys, John Wayne's character had to use schoolboys for a cattle drive. They were unhappy being awakened in the 3 AM darkness, especially since their circadian rhythms were not accustomed to such activity. Well, our inner clocks are none too fond of other disruptions, such as jet lag, adjusting to and from Daylight Savings Time, and unusual work shifts. People often have to use various remedies (such as melatonin) to adjust . Assembled and modified from Clker clipart images These circadian rhythms are not just in us big folks. They are in all kinds of organisms, all the way down to the genetic level. Such clocks are essential for survival, and are impossible for evolution to explain. It is, however, to reasonably conclude that these important and widespread mechanisms were designed for us by our Creator. Life could not exist without organisms’ engineered ability to keep track of time on a 24-hour day-night cycle called a circadian rh

Do these crowns I own mean that I'm a royal personage? Probably not, they're all in my mouth. Bacteria gets in there, wreaks havoc, and I pay big money to get the crowns. Still, our teeth are very strong. Dentin, that stuff beneath tooth enamel, is actually quite durable. It has to be, since out teeth come into contact about 1.8 million times a year, and a bit is somewhere around 70 pounds per square inch (mainly in the back molars). A silverback gorilla bite at 1,300 PSI, and the saltwater crocodile chows in at about 7,700 PSI. Not important, but I thought it was interesting anyway. Image credit: Clker clipart Scientists did a study on dentin, and were impressed at what what they found. In addition, they are hoping for biomimetics development so we can have replacement parts more along the lines of what our Creator gave us. Aspects of human teeth appear over-designed for their function. Apparently German scientists are less reticent about appealing to the supernatu

Let's start by over-stating some basics. First, we depend on oxygen to survive. Down around sea level, the pressure is fine and we can get what we need. You go up the mountains, the air is thinner. Death Valley is below sea level, so don't be in a great hurry to go from there to Denver, the "Mile High City". (Baseball players don't always cotton to playing up there .) Mountain climbers need to take extra precautions, as do pilots. (For that matter, your big ol' jet airliner trip was in a pressurized cabin.) Fighter pilots have oxygen masks. Taking your dog with you on a bombing mission can be bad news if you're both unprepared; going up too high too fast, or just too high at all, can be disastrous.

Proponents of bacteria-to-bat evolution have a high percentage for assertions, conflation, and conjectures. When it comes to actually providing evidence for their claims, their batting average that's lower than a snake's belly in a wagon wheel rut. The evolution of the bat is a noteworthy failure as far as evidence is concerned. Indeed, the evidence shows that bats (along with other critters, plants, humans, and so forth) were all created, not products of evolution. Flying fox (fruit bat) image credit: Morguefile / kconnors The idea is that bats supposedly evolved from some kind of rodent. Maybe it's because bats look kinda sorta like rodents, except the limbs are all wrong. Also, there's no evidence of transitional forms in the fossil record. Imagine that, a bat is just a bat. There are many specialized systems in place for the bat's flying ability, echolocation, variety, and more. No, these helpful creatures were designed by their Creator, and that's w

Ever notice that some people get a mite irritable when they don't get enough sleep? We need it to process events, and possibly help get some things locked down in memory. It's important to people and critters, and the need for sleep doesn't just apply to mammals. (I feel sorry for Basement Cat when she's had a bad dream, mewing in her sleep and then waking up looking afraid and confused.) We need REM sleep to get dreams, as well as the other kind. People and animals deprived of sleep can get a bit mentally disturbed. Sleep is a gift of God, who set an example for us by resting (Exodus 20:11). It looks like the bearded dragon goes into REM sleep stages as well. Bearded dragon image modified from Morguefile / cooee A simple study on electrical impulses in the brains of bearded dragons led to a study their sleep patterns, and it looks as if they do some dreaming as well. Unfortunately, some evolutionist jasper (who seems to be hallucinating from sleep deprivation) de

There are many critters that give advocates of microbes-to-marine biologist evolution conniption fits, since they refuse to cooperate with evolutionary ideas. Instead of giving credit where it belongs, to the Creator, they put the machinery of the Evolutionary Excuse Factory® into high gear. Sometimes, they even resort to metaphysical evolutionism, giving their puny god credit for having intelligence and foresight. Not that this has a bit to do with actual science, of course. Suppose a marine biologist went to a Transformers movie, had some peyote buttons , then had a nightmare where his world and the movie world met. He or she might dream up the mimic octopuses. However, such a creature really does exist, and it's an excellent example of the intricate design work of God. Evolutionary ideas, whether using mutations, natural selection, or any combination of ideas, will not suffice. This creature can mimic other creatures in a big hurry, and it has its own "database"
