A frequent presupposition from evolution is that ancient man is extremely primitive. After all, he was just a brute that had recently evolved, and had not yet learned to do those things typical of civilized humans. But excavations keep contradicting that bias. An excavation in Bulgaria predates ancient Greece by about 1,500 years, they say. Yet there are signs of civilization, even though they had not invented the wheel. Oh, really? That is an assumption, a kind of argumentum ad ignorantiam — because no wheels were found, they must not have existed . The evidence for civilization would imply otherwise, wouldn't it? Researchers are calling an ancient ruin near Provadia in Bulgaria Europe's oldest town. Its carbon age between 4700 and 4200 B.C. predates the accepted calendar age of ancient Greece by about 1,500 years. Investigators have uncovered enough clues from the intriguing site to attempt reconstructing the lives of its ancient inhabitants, but it appears that t

People believe in evolution despite the evidence. Even when scientists admit that discoveries work against them, they quickly make up implausible stories to cling to their fundamentally flawed worldview. And the faithful spread these tales as if they were fact. In this article, three items are featured. Read " Three New Fossil Finds Challenge Evolution ".

"We know evolution is true because we have transitional forms!" No, you have things that look something like other things, but you do not have undisputed "transitional forms ". "We know evolution is true because we have the fossils!" mnh.si.edu No, you have preconceptions loaded with assumptions. Fossilization is uncommon. Although there are billions of fossils, there are many more creatures that were not fossilized. The overwhelming majority of fossils are marine life, and over ninety-five percent are marine invertebrates . By the way, we have fossils too. It's not a case of your facts versus our facts; everyone has the same facts. The questions arise on the interpretations of the facts. The coelacanth fossils were dated at 70 million years old, and it was assumed that it "disappeared" because no more were found in the fossil record. But the coelacanth was simply playing peek-a-boo, as it was discovered to be alive an

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen There are many fallacies that Darwin's Junior Storm Troopers use when criticizing Intelligent Design proponents and creationists. Many of these have been discussed elsewhere . There is something that, frankly, (mind if I call you Frank?) I cannot slap a label on. It could be a form of the Fallacy of Suppressed Evidence , where relevant data are ignored when reaching a conclusion. Here are some ways that I have found that evolution adherents will deceive others.  First, I must reiterate that their insistence on calling other people "liars" because they do not accept evolutionary orthodoxy is both childish and reprehensible. Further, it is an attempt to protect evolutionism from critical examination. Here are some disingenuous obfuscations involving absence of information that I have encountered: Commenting on articles without reading. We all do it to some extent. But to simply be a troll and say, "That's not true", make

Ever notice that fundamentalist evolutionists have to actually resort to "No, it isn't!" denial and rapid-fire excuses when the facts cause their faulty worldviews to turn to a shes? Anyway... Back to a somewhat longer audio today, this one is twenty-eight minutes. Bob Enyart discusses some of the recent science news with Dr. Jonathan Sarfati . Among the items covered are things that have been on this site recently: "Junk" DNA and soft tissues in Dinosaurs. They discuss some other items as well. To go to the site click here , and to download, look for this near the top of the page:

If you say that you think that dinosaurs may not be extinct after all, you are likely to receive hails of derisive laughter. After all, people are conditioned to accept this false concept: All scientists agree that dinosaurs were killed when a meteorite struck the earth sixty five million years ago. (The truth is, scientists are not in agreement on that .) The entire problem is circular reasoning. Evolutionists start with the presuppositions that evolution is true, that the Earth is ancient and that the dinosaurs are long gone. This leads to interesting excuses when it comes to artifacts that depict dinosaurs, or when faced with accounts of dinosaurs still living in remote areas. Remember, there are species of various critters discovered every year; humans have not thoroughly explored every bit of this huge planet. However, evolutionists must deny the evidence according to their worldview — even though this often makes them look silly. By the way, if it's true that dino

Some evolutionists feel betrayed by the facts. When presented with evidence that the impossible exists ("impossible" according to their old Earth presuppositions), they deny the evidence. The love we share Seems to go nowhere And I've lost my light For I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night (From "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell) Some even accuse creationists of lying because evolutionists refuse to face the evidence (even thinking they're smarter than Mary Schweitzer, discussed in the link). Others will simply say that cited articles are outdated, misquoted or inaccurate. And we find some that even attempt to propose excuses that fly in the face of observed data. Sorry, Sammy, it's time to man up. Biblical creationists do not have these problems. Original dinosaur tissues in fossil bones are probably the most controversial finds in all of paleontology. Secular scientists have difficulty interpreting them. They debate whether the ti
