Remember how evolution is used to explain almost everything , actually explaining nothing? Instead of using their skill and education to do something useful, some of Darwin's disciples produced some evoporn about how chimpanzees demonstrate the evolution of rhythms, and then music. There are some interesting things in the research, showing that the chimps have different styles and selected percussive devices. This is supposed to show that an unknown common ancestor of humans and apes also drummed. However, commonality can also be evidence of a common Designer. Chimpanzee playing drum kit, made at DeepAI Anyone who has studied on it a spell knows that music is intricate and many things are coordinated. No word of chimpanzees composing a drum piece or full-scale music to go with it. Also, our alleged evolutionary cousins have been around a long time, but they have not developed intricacy of drumming. Presuppose evolution and expect to have one's biases confirmed results in pusill...

Something atheists and other evolutionists like to do is use religious people in their attacks on creation, and especially the Genesis Flood. I had someone appeal to the Pope on evolution (even though the Catholic Church does not have evolution as an official dogma). He was attempting to manipulate me through appeal to the wrong wrong authority — I reject that. In addition, it is not uncommon for theistic evolutionists to join with atheists on social(ist) media to demonize biblical creationists. Hail Darwin, blessed be! United in hate. Colorado River and Grand Canyon,  US Geological Survey  (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) There are some theological concerns in these posts, but the science and logical fallacies are helpful to creationists when encountering an atheist or TE who says Grand Canyon displays evidence of an old earth. A book and an article by TEs at BioLogos attack biblical creationists, and their flaws are exposed. Again I ask: Why is it so impor...

There are times when someone is confronted by an accuser, and after giving responses, is told, "You have an answer to everything!" That remark is often sarcastic because some people make things up and give ridiculous excuses. (Of course, the accuser may not want to accept legitimate replies.) Evolution has answers. It is interesting that the puny god of evolution is often treated as a powerful being with the ability to make decisions. A good part of the way evolution explains what is observed is from practiced storytelling, especially those in science fields. Spectacles modified from Freeimages /  Kenn Kiser Life and history (including imagined history) are interpreted through Darwin spectacles. Such a worldview only lets someone see evolution at every turn. There were some "science facts" videos I was watching about biology, but had to leave them in the dust. Some interesting material that was marred by evolutionary stories about the unobserved past, such as "...

As mentioned in " The Scopes Monkey Trial — 100 Years Later ," there is more material on the trial to present. Again, its real name was "The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes." Plays and movies about the trial are mostly fictional and heavily biased. The pair of articles by Dr. Jason Lisle linked below were surprising, as I was expecting more of the same. Wrong. While there is a bit of overlap at the beginning, he went more deeply into events of the trial than several other articles. Things were really interesting when he discussed evidence. Monkey Trial, image made at NightCafe The trial was actually an attack on the validity of Christianity, beginning with creation, so it took several days. Surprisingly, ammunition by experts was presented in writing, but deemed irrelevant to the trial so the jury never saw it. Evolutionists each had their say on paper, but it did not go well. Some tactics never change. It is one thing to use "science" that is inc...

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen  On 20 July 1969, the Lunar Module Eagle  of Apollo 11 touched down on the surface of the moon. Armstrong and Aldrin walked on it with Collins was waiting in orbit in the Columbia  command module. At least, that is what they want you to think. Almost everyone accepted the narrative, and the Soviet Union offered reluctant congratulations to the Americans. Later, some people began saying that the six successful lunar landings never happened. It was all a conspiracy, and the landings were filmed on a soundstage on Earth. Edwin Aldrin by US flag on moon (PD), WikiComm /  NASA ,  (PD), usage does not imply endorsement of site contents Also on 20 July 1969, the USSR failed with their Luna 15 effort. It was a probe that was supposed to land, get samples, and return them to Earth. It crashed. The Soviets did  have some contributions to space exploration over the years, but not that time. (For reference, their Luna 9 in 1966 was the first spac...

While the devastating difficulty of dinosaur soft tissues cannot be ignored or hidden, uniformitarian geologists have a lesser-known problem: polystrate fossils . Acolytes of the secular science industry like to point out that the phrase comes from creationists. Poison the well much, Marcia? Polystrate fossils are trees that have been fossilized in rock layers that are supposedly millions of years old. Secular geologists also claim that the trees grew in place. However, they do not show signs of partial decay while fossilizing during the requisite years. Also, these fossils are found in coal seams. Polystrate tree fossil in Joggins formation, Wikimedia Commons / Michael C. Rygel ( CC BY-SA 3.0 ) Some secularists have the audacity — the unmitigated gall — to claim that these things support their views, even saying that the trees have roots. No, Norman, a few pieces that look like the tree was ripped out from the ground before being buried does not qualify as root systems. Polystra...

A common charge leveled against biblical creationists is that we deny science, but even a cursory examination of our material puts that lie to rest. (Someone said that we deny bad  science, which is true.) Notice that this accusation seems to only appears in discussions of origins. Such people act like atheists and believers in universal common descent are the ones who truly believe science, but the secular science industry uses deception and outright fraud to promote the current version of Darwin's Victorian myth. We need to keep the pressure on them . Crime scene tape and people, Unsplash / Joshua Coleman Evolutionists often defy laws of logic, such as insisting evidence only fits their  proposals, suppressing facts, redefining words, and more. Indeed, some seem to be trying to make their own "laws" without scientific due process . There are also major areas that evolution itself is used in attempts to circumvent established scientific laws. Those include the Law of Bio...

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...

When dealing with supporters of universal common descent, it is often frustrating and slightly amusing at the lack of evolutionary knowledge many show. Worse, they accuse creationists of not knowing "science," even when we demonstrate more knowledge about certain subjects than they do. Evolutionary scientists are portrayed as unified with only slight disagreements about details. Supporters seem oblivious to statements against interest where experts admit they have problems. The situation of a shrew-like tree dweller that is held up as our evolutionary ancestor helps illustrate these truths. "Docodonta Order" mostly made at DeepAI , then modified for texts The usual story is that humans and apes diverged from an unknown common ancestor millions of years ago, but this is not LUCA (the Last Universal Common Ancestor). Nor is it fish we all supposedly evolved from, either. The  hominine (the word itself question-begs evolution) are humans, apes, and lots of other crit...

It may come as a shock, but yes, there are some things that God cannot do. He created the universe and raised Jesus, God the Son, from the dead. But he still has certain limitations. One is that he cannot go against his nature. Professing atheists like "gotcha" questions like, "If God is all-powerful, can he make a rock so big he cannot lift it?" These tinhorns think they are being clever, but they are showing some serious intellectual flaws. God is perfect in logic, and such challenges are illogical. Mountains, rocks, flowers, and sun, Unsplash / Damian Markutt The challenge is based on contradictory premises, so it is nothing. God cannot make  nothing. He is all-powerful (omnipotent) and has no limitations outside himself.  Such disingenuous questioners are trying to use his omnipotence against him — without understanding what that word means. Roslyn B from Tasmania, Australia asked: My son (grade 8) asked me a question which he was asked by a peer (who says he’s...

The ear is comprised of three parts, the outer of which helps collect and amplify sounds for the sending of sound vibrations onward. In the middle ear, there are three small bones that transmit information from the tympanic membrane onward to the inner ear. The brain sorts out the sound information. Another function of the inner ear is balance. People who have inner ear infections can have dizziness and spacial awareness trouble. In infection can affect walking and other activities. Darwin's acolytes try to link us to our alleged apelike ancestors by examining fossils of their inner ears. Anatomy of the Human Ear, Wikimedia Commons / Lars Chittka; Axel Brockmann ( CC BY 2.5 ) The inner ear is extremely complex with many parts working together. This specified complexity strongly testifies to the genius of the Master Engineer. Like apes today, those pretended ancestors would have been quite at home swinging from trees. Walking on two legs is uncomfortable and tolerated for short dis...

People appeal to evolution frequently, probably to make something appear more sciency. F'rinstance, I stopped watching a video when it said that people scanning their environment is a leftover from evolution. That was insultingly stupid — and unknowable. The idea of injecting evolution into media seems to come from authority figures in the secular science industry: They frequently make unsupportable assertions. Unfortunately, those scientists and many lay people have a worldview that uses molecules-to-mechanic evolution as a foundation. But critical thinkers may ask, "What evidence do you have for your claim?" Time and time again, we have shown how evolutionists presuppose evolution and then "see" it in many places. Variation, speciation, and all that good stuff are not evolution, old son, and fit into the creationist paradigm. Many other instances of circumstances called evolution are only imagined. An expert in plants examined  stomata , tiny openings that all...

For many years, people have wanted to change the weather. Cloud seeding to coax rain out of certain kinds of clouds under precise conditions is rather well known. The materials injected are innocuous enough, and it is not exactly a large-scale program. That is one aspect of geoengineering , and there are others forms of it that people consider using for assorted reasons. One is the manufactured hysteria of man-made global warming. Other geoengineering ideas appeal to gullible people, such as chemtrails  emitted by big old jet airliners for various purposes. Hudson River from Port Ewen Beach, Unsplash / Cowboy Bob Sorensen You know what a  contrail  is, right? When a convict breaks out of prison and the police track — "No, Cowboy Bob! Contrails are made of water as ice crystals and emitted by jet engines ." Oh, those things. Contrails have been seen for many years...my mother called them "jet streams," probably picking up that inaccurate name from other people. Howev...

His father,  William, was a Christian and a slavery abolitionist , and Samuel (1805-1873) took his faith further. He became a bishop in the Church of England. Samuel was also a contemporary of Charles Darwin and unimpressed by his work. Interestingly, scientists tended to reject Darwin's version of evolution while the clergy was embracing deep time, then eventually rode for the Darwin brand. Wilberforce is known for a misrepresentation of his confrontation of T.H. Huxley . There something else of significance that is less known. Samuel Wilberforce by George Richmond , 1868 Sam was involved in a debate with Darwinists and also published an essay in 1860. He did one thing that I deplore in any Christian apologetics effort, and that was to leave God out of the discussions. However, he did take Darwin to task on scientific grounds. "But Cowboy Bob, he had no business taking on Darwin because he wasn't a scientist!" Actually, Darwin's only degree was in theology — he ...

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...

Several opinions exist regarding the nature and cause of autism, but they are disparate. Many fingers point to vaccines.   Vaccines do prevent diseases and save lives , there can be no doubt about that. Ever heard, "Correlation is not causation?" Children are diagnosed with autism at the same age range of receiving vaccines. That is insufficient evidence, and fallacious.  It has been suggested that chemicals and additives in processed foods play a part in causing it. There are other suspects as well, and deeper research is a must. Symbols of autism, Pixabay / Katamaheen Many people have autism to one extent or another. We may not even  be aware of others who have it. Indeed, some have been diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome later in life and others may not know they have it. Autism manifests in different ways, and people may have hidden brilliant traits. Unfortunately, much of medical science is not only based on molecules-to-mycologist evolution, but also has a gre...

Quark-to-quartermaster evolution requires deep time for the propagation of its stories, and also to make evolutionary stories seem plausible in the first place. Geological evolution provides whatever billions or millions of years that biological evolutionists require. One serious limitation in these fields is that secular scientists have been taught to think in evolutionary paradigms. Maverick thinking beyond uniformitarianism is rare. Many scientists are willing to fit in with the crowd and play with chunks of time to make Darwin smile. Doing lazy research while restricting interpretations of data to yield expected results are not uncommon. Geological interests at Colorado Springs, Unsplash / Taylor Burnfield Those canyons in central Colorado? Carved out by rivers over millions of years, they insist. Other explanations are neglected, and the expected conclusions are supported by limited attempts at empirical research. Dating methods based on assumptions and circular reasoning make the...

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen  A kind of holiday was made to celebrate Star Wars  movies, a cash cow for the Disney Corporation since 2012. Many space operas came along afterward, such as the dreadful  Starcrash  a year later. Fans do not really need a holiday, as there is something Star Wars  frequently happening throughout each year.  Some folks make a distinction between science fiction  which is generally more serious and thoughtful, and sci-fi , which is usually mental fluff. Early Star Trek  had real and imaginary science in their stories, and Stargate SG-1  used some actual science. Space war, Pixabay / Adis Resic Fantasy and science fiction have been around for a very long time, but it really took off in the twentieth century. Comic books had science fiction. Television and movies got into the act later. It is interesting that many Christians enjoy science fiction and sci-fi, but the majority of the authors of these and fantasy material (the...

A few years back, I posted an article by biblical creationists proposing that one way animals spread around the world after the Genesis Flood was by rafting. Misotheists had a grand time ridiculing it — unaware that evolutionists had been catching onto that idea. In a grandiose display of evoporn, Darwinists demonstrate that they believe reality does not compare with pure imagination: Iguanas rafted from North America to Fiji thirty-four million fanciful years ago. They must have because they live there now — which is the fallacy of  affirming the consequent . Rafting iguanas and rainbow of imagination, made by DeepAI This peer-reviewed  story is gelastic for several reasons. One is that there is no plausible mechanism. Another is that desert iguanas, not the swimming type, are the supposed ancestors of those in Fiji. Third, they could not survive such a trip. Yes, lizards have been seen rafting and presumed to successfully make some trips — but nothing nearly as long as this ...

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 ...
