As most people probably know, the bald eagle is the national symbol and official bird of these here United States, although its range covers Canada, the US, and down Mexico way somewhat. Although "bald" means "hairless" nowadays, the scientific name, Haliaeetus leucocephalus , has "leukos", back when "bald" meant "white". That there is a bonus fun fact at no extra charge. You're welcome. Impress your friends, but I'd skip trying to pronounce the Latin part.

(People who claim that dinosaurs evolved into birds don't seem to know basic ornithology. Darwinists have no real idea when eagles first appeared in the fossil record.) Eagles have exceptionally sharp vision, and are designed for high-speed power dives as well as conserving energy riding the updrafts. Nesting ar...

Secular taradiddles of astronomical prediction are failing left and right, but secular scientists keep on presenting speculations to keep their Creator-denying vision alive. Probes are sent out to gather information which continually works against their predictions. Sure, they conjure up rescuing devices, but those are unhelpful. Illustration of NASA's Juno spacecraft in orbit above Jupiter’s Great Red Spot Credit: NASA /JPL-Caltech (Usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Scientists had a passel of things dead wrong. Predictions about Jupiter's poles and the Great Red Spot were risible . Expectations about planets around other stars resembling our solar system did not pan out. The supposed process of the evolution of stars was also way off. The expansion of the universe idea needs substantial revision. These things threaten secular views, but biblical creationists are not having problems with the evidence. To find out more details, click on " Astronomi...

In another startling example of "It was right in front of us all the time", we have the eyes of scallops. Sure, many of us like to have them fried up in a pan or something, but the thing you see on your plate or for sale in the market are quite a bit different than the processed kind. Maybe you've seen where Sally sells seashells by the seashore, and seen those things. You're getting closer, but in real life, they are rather startling to behold.  Flam scallop image credit: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management / James Sinclari (Usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Most humans have two eyes that work quite nicely, but there are various numbers on all sorts of critters. There are different species of scallops, and some of them have over 200 eyes. They work on a principle similar to using mirrors. Of course, Darwin's disciples give pantheistic praise to evolution for this "masterpiece of engineering" as if evolution was a kind of entity, d...

Darwinists consider stromatolites evidence of the oldest life on Earth, and fossils have been found in some rocks that are dated billions of years old according to deep time conjectures. They were considered extinct until some were found alive and well, and are considered by some to be living fossils . Like many scientific discoveries, they were overlooked for a mighty long time because of evolutionary preconceptions: scientists didn't look because they assumed that stromatolites were extinct. (Don't let evolutionary thinking ruin your mind, kids.) Interestingly, stromatolites seem to need special water conditions to survive, but are still found in diverse areas.

Like annoying house guests, they get together and stay put. Eventually, mats are built. D...

One of the excuses cranked out by the hands at the Darwin Ranch is that a rabbit found in the Precambrian layer would falsify evolution. That is just plain silly. Also, it is a bit of a straw man argument, since biblical creationists do not propose that the Genesis Flood would produce such a thing. Of course, some tinhorns will dismiss the Flood models as "anti-knowledge", based on their naturalistic presuppositions and intolerance of alternative interpretations of evidence. I also wonder if these owlhoots even know their own long age mythology. Some make assertions that show their ignorance of developments in evolutionary research, such as pollen that was found in the Precambrian layer, and fossils that are out of order. via GIPHY One atheopath demanded an explanation of why dinosaur fossils have not been found at the Grand Canyon, was given a link explaining that neither secularists nor creationists expect this , ignored the answer and kept on like it was neve...

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen On January 18, 2018, creationist David Woetzel ("Dino Dave") was on a video interview with Jackson Wheat, a proponent of evolutionary biology and atheism. You may remember reading about Dave on this site, with a post about his personal examination of the Angkor Wat Stegosaurus carving  and my review of his book Chronicles of Dinosauria . Woetzel has gone on expeditions to locate living dinosaurs . That makes sense, since he has a strong interest in cryptozoology (see " Cryptozoology & Creation Apologetics "). The video format is one-sided, probably by design, as we do not see Jackson Wheat. David Woetzel. Screenshot from the video, which will be linked below. Wheat wanted to talk about his favorite topic, evolution, and tried to divert Woetzel to other topics, which were usually refused; Dave wanted to stay with his areas of research. It was interesting that Jackson brought up the failed transitional form tiktaalik , but Dave did ...

Yes, you read that right. There is no escaping bacteria, they are everywhere. (For that matter, microbes are even on  and in each of us, and many are beneficial . Some have even been discovered recently.) No need for germaphobes to go into a panic. For one thing, this is a fact of life that cannot be changed. Also, many germs are beneficial. A way to bother your friends on a trip to the beach is to tell them that each grain of sand is full of microorganisms. They will probably assume that all germs and tiny things of that nature are bad, but you can point out that they help keep the ocean clean and assist the earth's nitrogen and carbon cycles.  There is no escape, flight is futile. Go to the South Pole, they are there, too. Bacteria are everywhere, and seem to migrate. Persistent little travelers, aren't they? Also, they adapt to their surroundings. The fact is, our Creator put these things in place to help our health and to assist in keeping our planet running. ...

A popular place to find dinosaur tracks is in the Southwest United States, especially Texas, but the "Dinosaur Highway" of tracks extends up yonder into Canada. There are so many, that state parks, creationary organizations, schools, and other organizations have "digs" so people can find them for themselves. This area is not the only spot in the world, of course, but they are plentiful. Dinosaur tracks,  United States Geological Survey  (Usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Proponents of an old earth happily tell the Darwinian storyline of how the tracks formed. Such "explanations" are weak at best, raising more questions than they presume to answer. They also ride around five necessary conditions for the preservation of tracks. For that matter, the conditions for the formation of the tracks in the first place are unique. Creation science models based on the Genesis Flood offer far better explanations than the secular uniformitarian lon...

EDIT 9-04-2021: Something important was brought to light. The stones depict the way people thought dinosaurs appeared years ago, but modern evidence shows, for instance, leaning forward without the tail dragging. So, you can read the material for research purposes. People who follow the human origins controversy have probably heard about the Ica Stones.  They are artifacts that were probably found in Peruvian tombs, and have some mighty interesting (often highly detailed) designs in the carvings — including dinosaurs. Advocates of rock-to-rock star evolution dismiss them out of hand. One reason is the secular presupposition that dinosaurs and humans lived millions of years apart. Another reason given for rejecting them as genuine artifacts is because they belonged in a private collection. Then these owlhoots proceed to buy fossils from dealers in Liaoning Province in China and present them as evidence for evolution, but never mind about that now. Credit: Wikimedia Common...

In these parts, there is a report given about youngsters that may include the words, "Plays well with others". In Danish, it would be leg godt , "play well", which was used to make the name of a popular building blocks toy. Those of us who grow up and get jobs often get reviews on our performance, and one bit of praise in business-ese is a "team player", which can mean different things, depending on the reviewer. If the element carbon  was an entity, it would be given high ratings as a team player, as it works well with other elements and is an essential component in building life. Credit: Freeimages /  Carlos Gustavo Curado Carbon has many unique properties that would make it more of a "team leader" than a "player". F'rinstance, it is between Boron and Nitrogen on the Periodic Table of Elements, so it is very similar to them. However, its activities are far superior to those of its neighbors. Carbon is number six on the Tabl...
