A proponent of stardust-to-psychologist evolution makes a statement, then it gets supported by terms like  scientists think , it could be ,  maybe , and other weasel words. No evidence though. The statement is then accepted by those with atheism spectrum disorder who call it science. Psychologists speculate about the evolution of religion (ignoring the fact that atheism is itself a religion ). Some are speculating that belief in gods is a function of the brain, but an existing part of the brain had to quickly evolve a religion section. No evidence though. Replica painting from the Chauvet cave, Wikimedia Commons / HTO (PD) A psychologist thinks he has evidence for this brain phenomenon. Deep-time presuppositions are fundamental, as human religious artifacts were dated tens of thousands of years ago. Plug in the assumption of atheism as a "default" position (never mind that children are born believing in God ) and biases appear to be confirmed. The real evidence shows that we...

This is probably one of those things you may have seen, but cannot remember the five-syllable word for it. Some creatures absorb light (usually ultraviolet or blue) and then give it out again as a different color. The expensive word for this is biofluorescence . It occurs in many organisms. Researchers concluded that biofluorescence evolved independently over 100 times. That is a popular miracle and rescuing device in the secular science industry called convergent evolution . Since Darwin's disciples cannot explain how something evolved once, they obscure it with quantities. Aequorea victoria (crystal jellyfish), Wikimedia Commons / Sierra Blakely The researchers studied teleost fishes. Supposedly, they had a prairie-schooner full of evolutionary changes for biofluorescence. The empirical evidence? Nuffin. They used evolution to demonstrate evolution — highly illogical, Captain. Mathematical models look good on paper, but are based on presuppositions. The most logical conclusion wa...

Although many materialists treat science as a religion, it is actually a philosophy — a way of conducting searches to find certain truths about the world. Materialists assume that physical things such as molecules and atoms are all that exist, but there is no God. Materialists use their presuppositions to advance their secular worldview. When they cannot back up their claims, they fudge it and employ escape hatches (rescuing devices). Notice how Darwinists say that something emerged  but let the statement itself serve as evidence. Aircraft escape hatch at Kasuga Air Base, Wikimedia Commons / Hunini ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) Something supposedly emerged according to evolution. How did it emerge? What caused it? People who want their biases confirmed are willing to settle for stories and bland assertions, but they are unwilling to consider that evidence can be better interpreted to show that something "emerged" because it was created. Faced with conundrums posed by the origin of the un...

The subject of near-death experiences (NDEs) is highly controversial, but has been fascinating people for many years. One reason scientists have difficulty examining them is because they are extremely subjective. Also, there is a variety of experiences. Some people see light and a voice they attribute to God or an angel that tells them it is not yet time, go back. Others experienced terror. Many lives have been changed, but not always for the better and they need counseling. Those who went to a happy place resent coming back; their infirmities still exist. Spirit, light, and clouds, Pixabay / Gerd Altmann (geralt) Medically, some NDEs can be dismissed as hallucinations because the brain goes into special functions. There are times when people in the midst of an NDE returned and described people, conversations, and more that they could not have known about. The idea of giving counseling to NDE experiencers (especially to those who have challenges to their worldviews) involves materiali...

One of the most amazing follies of atheism is its adherents spend time and energy hating God (and often hating Christians), then claim they "lack belief" that he exists. There is no evidence, they say. If they would take off their Darwin spectacles  and honestly look around, they would cease to be atheists. (The same applies to agnostics.) Known as general revelation , the Creator has made himself known quite clearly through his creation. However, people willingly and unrighteously suppress the truth. Esopus Lake from High Banks Preserve , Unsplash / Cowboy Bob Sorensen What would constitute "proof" for an unbeliever? Professing atheists and agnostics demand scientific  proof, but this is illogical. They presuppose and then rail against a "straw god" of their own imaginings instead of dealing with the God of the Bible: He is spirit, and not subject to man-made scientific evidence. God's existence is not restricted to scientists or others who may be con...

Darwin's Flying Monkeys™ swoop down on creationist sites, gleefully telling us how stupid we — they are the smart ones for believing "science." One example is something like, " Tiktaalik  is a transitional form that refutes creation. Haw, haw, haw!" Not hardly! It seems that atheists and other evolutionists do not keep current with their evolution stories; knowledgeable creationists have to correct them. In this case, tetrapods (vertebrates with four limbs, including humans) supposedly evolved from lobe-finned fish. Rikki-tikki-tiktaalik was one such fish. Tiktaalik roseae , WikiComm / Olmagon ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ), modified at PhotoFunia Darwin's disciples were all a-twitter when they found parts of Tiktaalik  because they presuppose their story of evolution and that it made tracks on land. This meant it wanted to be a tetrapod. A big problem for evolution believers is that they often don't get the memo: Tracks by a tetrapod were found that were dated using...

Because of evolutionary presuppositions, the discovery of the first Archaeopteryx lithographica  fossil shortly after Charles Darwin published On the Origin of Species , it caused quite a stir. The scientific community was beginning to take Darwin seriously, and here was alleged evidence for the first bird. Over the years, other  Archaeopteryx  fossils were discovered. Darwin's disciples were pushing the idea that dinosaurs evolved into birds, so Archie was claimed to be a transitional form. This has been debunked, but the transitional form concept is zombified and keeps coming back. Archaeopteryx lithographica, WikiComm, National Geographic Society / James L. Amos (PD) There are no half measures involved. The feathers were determined to be the kind used in flight, it had a wishbone (muscles attach there) so that involved flight as well, and other features of critters that exist today. In fact, it could be likened to the way a modern pheasant flies. No transitional form ...

People on social(ist) media, regular media, and in print notice that misotheists often ridicule those of us who believe in immaterial things. A surprising number are inconsistent , believing in psychic matters, prayer, ghosts, and other things. We have seen that atheists are also inconsistent about the mind or soul — many deny it exists, but still look for its location in the brain. Many of us know that the brain is not the mind, but the mind uses  the brain. A neurosurgeon and an atheist had an interesting discussion on consciousness and other things. Brain and consciousness, Pixabay /  Gerd Altmann  (Geralt) The two Mikes. Dr. Michael Egnor is a neurosurgeon and believes that the mind is not simply physiological reactions, Dr. Michael Shermer is an atheist. It is very interesting that Egnor asked Shermer to offer an explanation for near-death experiences that contained verified details. Also, Egnor pressed Shermer to explain immaterial things such as morality: How can a...

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...

As stated here several times, many believers in particle-to-pachyderm evolution misrepresent biblical creationists in saying that we believe "GodDidIt" and scientific investigation is over. Not hardly! Creation scientists want to know how  God did something, and how things work. Meanwhile, evolutionists making such accusations are hypocritical. " It evolved " is a common explanation when empirical data are not available, and they appeal to evolution when something is not actually understood. Evolution is a science stopper — dangerously so in medical science . This is displayed in how they evosplain  lower back pain. Doctor examines woman's back, Pexels / Kaboompics The pain can be blamed through dysteleology on an incompetent Creator, or evolutionary presuppositions about our origins. In stories about the unobserved distant past, our apelike ancestors decided to stop walking on all fours and became bipedal. No one knows why. But we were not adapted for that kind...

Those rascally disciples of Charlie Darwin, constantly trying to find out how something evolved — even if they do not understand it. A huge undertaking to map the human brain demonstrated that there are billions of neurons, billions of other cells, trillions of connections. Yep, that puppy is complex! Since the brain is so involved, efforts at mapping it have been unsuccessful. Scientists also do not understand its function. Also, understanding consciousness eludes the scientists that admit it exists. Yet somehow, some think they are learning how it evolved. X-ray-style image of skull and brain, Freeimages /  Miranda Knox What is troubling is that evolution zealots learn of studies that purport to demonstrate evolution, then assume the researchers are correct. After that, they are more convinced by the deception they received and even try to badger creationists with this kind of hooey. The study was wrong in several ways, and if researchers did not have their heads stuck in their s...

Sure, we all know that many animals communicate with sounds. In the morning on a day off from work, listen to the mockingbird during an errand. It is amazing and entertaining, and there are guesses as to why, but it appears to be related to survival. As a child I asked what sound a certain animal makes, and I was told, "None." It has been discovered over the years that several kinds of creatures that were considered mute actually have some acoustic communications abilities. One study went further. Turtle singing before audience, made with DeepAI Using universal common descent evolutionary presuppositions, there was something I found surprising: It was concluded that acousting communication did not evolve multiple times in the groups they studied. Instead of convergent evolution, researchers pushed the problem back into the mists of imagined time. There was one ancestor, but nobody knows what it was. They have no evidence (fossil or otherwise) for evolution in the first place,...

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...

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...

Weird dreams causing fatigue, work pressure, and other things made me want to just be alone. My reading by lantern light was interrupted by the sound of a buckboard approaching. I inwardly groaned, but was pleasantly surprised to see Stevia Dolce, the baker from the Darwin Ranch. She brought croissants. Those and her pleasant demeanor put aside my gloom. Stevia heard Dewey Lye and others at the ranch talking about efforts to clone a woolly mammoth and was intensely curious. Yes, there is talk about that among certain scientists. Mammoth sculpture image cropped from Pixabay /  hansbenn Using a passel of deep time and evolutionary presuppositions, scientists think that humans killed off the Ice Age animals in Siberia. They brought in several cold-weather critters to deal with the wetland, but it only got worse. Cloning a mammoth (well, a hybrid with an existing elephant's DNA and the mammoth DNA) should solve the problem. Not hardly! Using a biblical creation science Ice Age model wo...

The morning of the one-year anniversary of my wife's passing , I wanted to commemorate the day. It began by going to the Hudson River in the morning. Those parks open at sunrise, which I looked up online. It happens on a predictable basis. Why should it? Some folks do not like this, but presuppositional apologetics  has its ultimate starting point in the authority of God's Word and character as revealed in the Bible. Science, logic, and other things are not possible in a worldview of atheistic materialism; they only make sense in a biblical worldview. Morning on the Hudson River, Unsplash / Cowboy Bob Sorensen We all have presuppositions and an ultimate starting point. The sun will rise tomorrow, a lighter will make a candle burn, pictures on the wall will not float upward. Things happened before, so they will again — but that is circular reasoning! God holds the universe together, making logic (inductive and other kinds) possible. From there, science is possible. And mathemati...

People have concepts about Noah's Ark, but most of them probably come from cutesie books for children. Mayhaps they imagine those floating bathtub things with giraffes sticking their heads out. Atheists (and many Christians) laugh at Noah's Ark because of what the Bible does not  teach. It may come as a shock that paintings and such showing animals going on the Ark were modern animals, and are probably wrong. The artists worked from what they knew. What Noah carried were the biblical kinds from very long ago. Ark Encounter, Pixabay /  Michael Wysmiersk Several articles have been featured on this site from Answers in Genesis regarding several aspects of the Ark, how it was seaworthy, the way it may have been built, how many animals, and more. But the critters themselves? They researched that aspect as well, presupposing the truth of the Bible but also incorporating paleontology and other sciences. Several things to think about are presented. Formerly a zookeeper at Answers in ...

Recent speculations by minerals-to-magician evolutionists display tenacity, but precious little in the way of science. A new story is...truly bizarre. Remember how evolution is supposed to be without purpose?  In addition, it is not an easy thing to accomplish. We have seen that abiogenesis (chemical evolution) is essentially impossible. But it, and also evolution, are two of many presuppositions made by Darwin's acolytes. Add in teleology and pantheism, and suddenly evolution is not so difficult after all — especially after Earth's environment reached a permissive state. Nebula W51,  NASA  / JPL-Caltech (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Apparently, Earth is an entity. Well, only entities can have desires, make choices, work toward goals, and all that good stuff. This would have also happened all over the universe. Although astrobiologists get paid for studying nonexistent alien life, they're confident it exists. Further, it supposedly has evolved and pr...

When I was in school, the solar system had nine planets. The Kuiper Belt was not mentioned, nor were dwarf planets or trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). Pluto lost its planethood status because of its size; there is a passel of TNOs with Pluto being the first. All of that stuff was expected to be geologically dead, but Pluto and its moons baffle deep time proponents with activity . There are volcanoes out yonder such as Jupiter's moon Io , and some that expel ice instead of lava. Pluto has some of these. Artist's concept of New Horizons visiting Pluto, with moon Charon in the distance, : NASA/JHU APL/SwRI/Steve Gribben Ice volcanoes throw out water ice as well as methane and others are more accurately called cryovolcanoes . Pluto has one named Kiladze, named after the Georgian astronomer Rolan I. Kiladze. This volcano shares its wealth abundantly, then its caldera collapses. Then erupts again and repeats the cycle. The energy necessary to do this should not exist according to deep...
