This post is about hearts. Mine is broken. Yesterday, my wife died from complications after surgery. She is now with Jesus and others who have gone on before. That takes some of the edge off my immense sorrow. Please pray for me and all I have to deal with in the next few weeks. Long before she was stricken, I wrote this post. Interestingly, I learned that she was greatly distressed over my time away for heart surgery. Now it is the opposite. She expected me to return home, now I will meet her in our eternal home... One of the most outrageous comments I ever saw from an atheist was regarding how a biblical creationist should not be allowed in the space program. The reason? A Christian's beliefs may cause him to do stupid things and jeopardize lives of astronauts or wreck space probes and such. Obviously, he did not know what creationists actually believe, so he filled up on bigotry and prejudicial conjecture — without evidence. What if we applied the same reasoning to fish-to-fool

Neurologists confidently put their pinky fingers to the corners of their mouths when announcing that humans have one hundred billion  neurons. Those nerves obtain information from the outside world so the brain can sort it out and direct muscles. They communicate with other cells via synapses. Ever strike a match and hold it too long, then yelp and throw it away when you got burned? Neurons are involved. Also, it may come as a shock to learn that there is an electrical component to neurons. GnRH neuron, B. Ian Hutchins and Susan Wray , public domain Believers in baryon-to-brain surgeon evolution presuppose everything evolved from simple to complex. It was thought that neurons evolved from cells called choanocytes  because of superficial similarities between them and nerve cells. Interestingly, although there has been a marked increase of late in fossilized soft tissue, there is not enough to attempt to trace the alleged evolution of neurons. They conveniently overlook living fossils —

Some folks are so determined to negate evolution doubters, they find little things to complain about. One is word selection. They take exception to evolution  and Darwin  in an effort to strut their imagined intellectual superiority. Those are for reference, and you know exactly what we are talking about. Stop making excuses to avoid dealing with uncomfortable content. You savvy? We have seen many times that good research has been tainted by homage to Darwin, as if seeking the Real Science™ squeal of approval. Indeed, many evolutionists hide behind evolution in an effort to obfuscate their inferior research; " It evolved " is not science. Darwin trash dumpster fire, Flickr /  Cowboy Bob Sorensen  ( CC BY-NC 2.0 ) In my last article about that hospital stay , I mentioned how nobody discussed evolution in my hearing during all that time. Darwin is useless at best to medical science. It is also a fact that evolutionary thinking is proven to be harmful  to medicine. It would be f

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen There have been a few remarks posted of late about my recent surprise heart tests and eventual triple bypass surgery, and I may do a series on another weblog about those experiences. In a few social(ist) media places, I mentioned that I could die during the treadmill stress test, the heart catheter (mayhaps I did not mention that part), and the surgery itself. There is always  a risk, and I made it clear that I was ready to meet Jesus. Yes, I used the opportunities for some evangelism. But the risk of death was much lower than I thought. Unwashed, thirsty, looking like death warmed over the day I was released from hospital, background from Pixlr At  The Question Evolution Project , I was working by my lonesome and was besieged by trolls with atheism spectrum disorder.

Written on 10 August 2023.  Lots of waiting in this here hospital bed, but I am getting open-heart surgery on the of the eleventh. Please pray. Although I am ready to see Jesus face-to-face, my wife has medical problems and needs help right now. It is easy to take the heart for granted. When there is a problem (such as learning I could have a heart attack in the next thirty days), we pay more attention to that important organ that keeps us alive. Numerous features are designed to do an extremely difficult job all of our lives. An honest scrutiny shows that the heart defies neutrons-to-nurse evolution and testifies of the Master Engineer. Heart diagram, Pixabay / burlesonmatthew In the linked article, we learn about three obstacles for the heart to overcome. First, yes, it's a pump, but this bad boy is actually two pumps in one. Second, it has to stay put without banging around and overheating. Third, it's always going. Yes, everything was very good  at creation, but Adam's

It is a fact of life that, barring medical conditions or accidents, people grow old and eventually take a dirt nap. There have been many efforts to try and find ways to stave off aging, and to find out what causes it in the first place. There is a movement to upgrade ourselves with transhumanism , even to the point of living forever. (There are cautionary tales about regretful immortals who long for death.) It is a good thing to cure illnesses and counteract aging, no need for transhumanism. Old Couple , Vladimir Makovsky, 1889 Those of us who believe the Bible know that aging and death entered into the world when Adam sinned. In Genesis 2:17, God told Adam that the day he ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he would surely die. People have said the Bible is wrong because Adam and Eve didn't die. However, the more literal translation is dying you shall die . The deterioration began and was passed down to everyone, physically and spiritually. Negative effects of all t

Last night I was talking with the skeletons in my huge walk-in closet, asking what would happen if someone discovered them. They just looked at me without answering. I gave up and closed the door. As I walked away, I heard them laughing. Okay, we all know that skeletons in the closet are not real except for use as props or classroom instruction. Actual skeletons do not talk. Interestingly, trees talk in their own way , and our bones have vitally important discussions inside us — through cellular communication. Skeleton at the disco, Pixabay, background by Geralt , skeleton by Rachaelmarie , I also used cleanup.pictures A researcher with an appropriate name, Lynda F. Bonewald, was told not to waste her time studying one of the three main bone cell types, osteocytes, even though they are about ninety percent of bone tissue. Apparently osteocytes didn't have a known function, so ignore them. Good thing she ignored her advisors. Lynda showed scientific inquiry, and found that osteocyte

It is common to find people who fear microscopic organisms, but that feeling is probably because the bad guys get the headlines. Bacteria and viruses are everywhere (except possibly in a cleanroom ). Some people may be shocked to learn that God created bacteria and viruses. Even more startling to the uninformed is that there are millions of the things living in and on everyone. Our eyes even have their own biome. Most are not only good, but essential for our health. And not just ours, but for living things on Earth! Bacteriophage, Wikimedia Commons / Dr. Victor Padilla-Sanchez, PhD ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) Interestingly, bacteriophages are viruses that use and destroy bacteria as a means to keep their populations under control. It is possible that phage therapy may be developed for use when antibiotics are ineffective. Medical science was fooled by evolutionary pronouncements based on ignorance and preconceptions that the appendix is an evolutionary leftover and could be removed. Now we know

This news is a mite confusing on several levels. The secular science industry is outraged — outraged , I tell you — that evolution has been dropped from the education system in India. That may change momentarily, but like evolutionists feeling threatened by Neanderthal intelligence , principles here are important. One thing this child found confusing is that officials said one reason to remove evolution is that it "conflicts with creation stories." Evolution is in keeping with Hinduism, the majority religious viewpoint. (Christians are a minority, and atheists are a tiny fraction of the population.) Secularists were disingenuous in their objections. Angry shouting scientist image made at Bing AI Image Creator As expected, tinhorns said that evolution is essential for science. That is false, and there are many times when genuine science is performed without rubbing the belly of the Bearded Buddha. Molecules-to-mystic evolution is unhelpful in teaching medical science , and we

Regular readers have caught on that science thrives when challenged, and when views are protected, it stagnates. Atheism is where science goes to die in darkness. Despite the claim to follow where the evidence leads, scientists tend to protect their beliefs. Just ask  Ignaz Semmelweis . Creation science is rejected by the secular science industry because of their precommitment to naturalism, so evidence against evolution and in favor of special creation is suppressed. Draconian measures keep bad information in the public minds. Thanks to Why?Outreach for the background image Because the secular science industry has attitudes that are actually anti-science, they promote evolution — which is harmful to medical science . Vestigial organs/structures have been redefined because those alleged leftovers from our evolutionary past have been found to be useful. There are numerous examples where evolutionary thinking harmful to medicine. Many of Darwin's acolytes are passionate about their

There is a personal and coincidental reason for my interest in the article featured below. Today is 8 March, and I am recovering from knee surgery. The article came out on the first, and my surgical testing was on the second. When someone has a reputation for repeatedly fouling things up, do you want to entrust that person with something extremely important? Of course not. The same can be said for an ideology. It has been shown repeatedly that evolutionary thinking has been harmful to medical science, yet Darwin's acolytes want it entrenched.

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen Up yonder near Deception Pass lies the Darwin Ranch, but if you go without an invite, watch out because the Winkie Guards get a mite irritable about trespassing. An exception is when the ranch hands feel generous and share the peyote with them. We have seen in numerous posts that evolutionary thinking has actually been harmful to medical science. Such thinking has been a waste of time and money in other areas of science as well (for example, see " The Absence of Alien Contact "). It is a vexation to see supposedly educated folks get paid for doing nothing useful. Modified from a photograph at  Pixnio Tinhorns like Bill Nye the Leftist Propaganda Guy and others claim that science cannot advance without evolution, but that falsehood is easily refuted. Still, they proclaim it. There is a "meme" on Fakebook at Evolution is a Lie of a game show contestant being asked, "Which branch of the sciences has Darwinian evolution advanced the most sin

As most people probably know, biomimetics is taking what is observed in nature and mimicking it for human uses. Then they ignore the Creator or praise the puny gods of evolutionism. God has designed many things in nature for which we can obtain benefits through study and technology. This may not be directly  an example of biomimetics, but I expect to have knee surgery about six weeks from now. The effectiveness of elastic therapeutic tape (kinesiology tape) is disputed, but I have had less pain and more stability while using it. In some ways, this elastic cotton stuff mimics human skin. Just thought I would put this bit here. Medical bandages, Pixabay / Hans One way in which medical science has progressed is keeping repairs in place. Stitches are used to close up the skin but many times they do not need to be removed on a subsequent visit. They dissolve. How about replacing staples? Medical practitioners and patients alike would be glad of this. Some ingenious uses of biomimetics are p

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen From the standpoint of producing evidence for what they teach, biblical creationists can be baffled by the resistance displayed by anti-creationists. Some tinhorns claim that we never produce evidence — making such insipid claims on posts such as " Overview of Geologic Evidence of the Flood !" Material exposing evolutionary fraud and bad science is ignored or waved away. In literally thousands of books, articles, videos and such, Creationists and Intelligent design proponents have discussed how evidence for design is abundant. Instead of intelligently discussing interpretations of evidence, atheists and evolutionists go beyond insults and attempt to dehumanize us . Red-bellied woodpecker, Unsplash / Joshua J. Cotten When misotheists attempt to dehumanize us, it shuts down rational discourse. It also indicates fear on their part. Can't be letting evidence for design get wide circulation, nosiree! That's bad medicine for atheism. Further, what doe

As I write this, I am recovering from the Rona. If I previously had a fever over 100, it is not in my memory. Doing the standard things: keep hydrated, fever reducers, stay cool but avoid getting a chill, eat if possible — and get plenty of sleep. This may be off the wall, but I have heard it said that if people push themselves too hard, their systems will lay them low. You will  get rest. That includes getting real sleep, sometimes quite a bit (like I have been doing the past couple of days). The Master Engineer designed sleep for several purposes. Sleeping baby, RGBStock / Adrian van Leen A couple more personal views before we move on. Some folks have dreams, then grab a book that supposedly tells them what it means. Some make sense (crossing a bridge while preparing to travel), others are ridiculous. Actually, dreams are usually the subconscious is trying to work things out. We sleep in different stages in our lives. Infants need a great deal of it, but not all at once. Later, we sl

If you took a notion to visit Mackinac Island State Park way up yonder between the peninsulas of Michigan, it would be a hefty drive. Using I-75 from the state capital of Lansing and going in almost a straight line by the map, count on driving 3-1/2 hours one way. You would probably find it worthwhile. Despite spelling discrepancies with -nac and -naw, it is pronounced MACK-i-naw. The island is in view of the huge suspension bridge. A creation geologist can use the physical features to describe stages in the Genesis Flood as well as the Ice Age. Old Fort Mackinac from the pasture (cropped), ca. 1900, Library of Congress People who read biblical creation science material are likely to learn some things about the Genesis Flood, especially since it was not simply rain and the fountains of the great deep. As is observed, there are many megasequences laid down by water, and these span continents. Depositions occurred in stages. At Mackinac Island, some of the first laid down by the Flood w

As many parents and caretakers have seen, pressing a finger in the palm of an infant usually causes the child to hold on. It is interesting to experience, but tends to fade after a few weeks. Those who believe that humans and apes evolved from a common ancestor claim that it is primitive  and  vestigial . Because evolution. Because ape infants do it. Darwinists have not fared well in their claims of vestigial structures, and saying such things about the Palmar Grasp Reflex is risible. Palmar Grasp Reflex, Open Resources for Nursing ( CC BY 4.0 ) One reason it is so foolish to claim that the reflex is an example of our alleged evolutionary ancestry is that it is very important, and if it is not being exhibited, it is a cause for concern . And yet, when Darwinoids say things like, "The original purpose of the reflex is vestigial or unknown, though it can aid in diagnosing specific pathologies. It serves nothing more than a rudimentary, phylogenetic function necessary for the arbore

Frankly, (mind if I call you Frank?) it gets tiresome when on one hand, angry atheists laugh about how Christians see evidence for creation in many places, yet purveyors of mesons-to-medical doctor evolution claim to have evidence for their views every which way. If evolution were true, its proponents would give us the good stuff instead of spurious evidence, especially loss of function . Not hardly! In this example, it is claimed that an extra artery in some people's forearms, the  persistent median artery , is an example of evolution. A little bit of medical knowledge about the development of an unborn child helps clear this up. Forearm, Pexels / Israelzin Oliveira I lack belief that the number of people who have this condition has been increasing, since only a small sample study from 1846 is utilized. That alleged increase is probably why Darwinists are claiming that this is evolution. Just like with losses of traits in organisms, no genetic information is added, and nothing cha

Although the material here deals with medical science, ethics, and morality, it is disturbing in many ways. Some people may wish to stop reading. Imagine if you will a group of people that has a disease which is unsightly, painful, and itchy. They are the primary carriers. Other people outside this group can get the disease by engaging in certain behaviors with those who are infected, so the disease may spread to the general population. The secular science industry, leftists, the media (but I repeat myself) do not want to offend the infected group by telling them the facts. That group may get hurt feelings and feel ostracized. But telling them the truth can save lives. Electron micrograph of monkeypox particles, Flickr / NIAID  ( CC BY 2.0 ), modified at PhotoFunia This is what is happening with the monkeypox. (Some have suggested changing the name so people will feel better.) The word pandemic  has been uttered. Now, it may be a coincidence, but this child believes there was a resurge

Microbes like bacteria were designed for their niches in the world, and most of them are good. Those that are harmful have left their first estate (displacement). E. coli  are extremely common, and falsely claimed to exhibit evolution . There are some extremely interesting traits in microbes with flagella. Those are things that look like long hairs coming off the microbes and are used to propel them. Biblical creationists and the Intelligent Design community have used irreducible complexity  arguments . It was Michael Behe who came up with the term regarding bacterial flagella. Bacterial Flagellum, WikiComm  Mora T et al ( CC BY 4.0 ), modified at PhotoFunia Of course, Darwin's acolytes try to wave off irreducible complexity, and misotheists like to have their biases confirmed. But it's still true, and "Nuh uh , no it's not irreducible" is not a valid scientific refutation, old son. It is irrational to say that things only appear designed, but secularists have t
