Music Video and Links: He Has Risen!

Image
Today is vitally important to most people calling themselves Christian.  Wishing you all a happy Easter! Here is a music video, and several links are below f or further reading . The hard work has been done by the scholars, so feel free to dig in. First, let's dispense with the myth that Easter is a pagan holiday: Is the Date of Easter of Pagan Origin? Is the Name “Easter” of Pagan Origin? Are the Symbols and Customs of Easter of Pagan Origin? Easter: Of Pagan Origins? Easter and Good Friday: Questions and Answers   (includes refutation of the "crucifixion was not on Friday" error ) T he importance of the Resurrection A series on the R esurrection: The Resurrection of Jesus Christ: An Introduction The Resurrection of Jesus Christ: Infallible Proofs The Resurrection of Jesus Christ: Evidences and Minimal Facts   The Resurrection of Jesus Christ: Mistaken or Stolen Identity?

Audio Saturday: Big Bang is a Bust

Image
Some people think that the Big Bang is a refutation for creation science, and incorrectly believe that scientists are unified in their support of it. Others think that the Big Bang supports biblical creation, but that is also incorrect . ESA/PACS & SPIRE consortia, A. Rivera-Ingraham & P.G. Martin, Univ. Toronto, HOBYS Key Programme (F. Motte) On "Real Science Radio", two episodes give evidence refuting the Big Bang. The audio sections are about half an hour each, and there is information to read at the links as well. Part 1 is here , Part 2 is here .

Take a Walk on the Water Side

Image
One of the strongest evidences against evolution and in favor of creation is, in my view, the wide variety found in nature. Common sense would imply that there would be much less variety as things evolved. Instead, we can wonder, "Why would something evolve that way, and most other creatures didn't?" Water Strider (family Gerridae) For example, consider the bug that is often called the Water Strider (or Water Bug, among others). It walks, runs, or seemingly skips on the water. Without sinking. Why do you suppose that is? Water striders skim across ponds and streams as if skating on ice. How do they “walk on water” while staying completely dry? A closer look at water striders’ feet provides the surprising answer. Many other bugs stick like glue when they touch water, but the water strider’s feet are covered with thousands of fuzzy little hairs, called microsetae, that trap air and create a floating cushion. These needle-shaped strands are dozens of time

Evolutionary Explanations: Be Flexible!

Image
In our previous exciting episode , we saw that proponents of evolution work outside the realms of science in order to further their worldview. No matter what the evidence actually shows, if it conflicts with evolutionary theories, there will be an explanation conjured up so they can attempt to save face. Wikimedia Commons/jurvetson For instance, the sea snake. There are different kinds, with different sized heads. Evolution (treated as a living entity with decision-making power) has the answer. I once debated an evolution professor who explained that evolution has tremendous explanatory power. But what exactly does this mean, and is it a good thing? Everyone knows that evolution explains that the species evolved gradually, but for new forms appearing abruptly in the fossil record evolution explains that the species evolved rapidly. Likewise, evolution explains that similarities in species derive from a common ancestor, but for species that are too distant evolution expla

Evolution: A Product of Desperate Imagination

Image
Science does not support evolution. There are two distinct signs of desperation from Darwin's Stormtroopers that support the idea that they know their evidence is paltry at best. One is the vituperative and obsessive nature of their attacks on creationists . Since they cannot refute the science that is presented, they seek to demonize people (an exceptionally childish tactic that I find very puzzling indeed, because they have nothing to gain). Ridiculing and defaming people does not make evolution true. A second sign of evolutionists' desperation is the amazing level of imagination in the "explanations" that they offer. Instead of using objectivity, actual science and dealing with reality, evolutionists delve deeply into "maybe", "perhaps", "it could be", "scientist think", "could have" and other speculations dressed up and presented as facts to the science-worshiping populace. Meanwhile, they deceive us

The Conditions are Too Extreme to Support Life — Wait, What...

Image
As science and technology advance, more life forms are found in extreme environments. FreeImages.com / sardinelly An assortment of "simple" life forms, and even more complex, can survive radiation, heat, cold and more (such as tardigrades ). They present a tremendous challenge for evolutionists to explain how and why they evolved. Not so much for the creationist, however. Could anything live in a boiling mudhole? Actually, in recent years, many new species have been discovered in many places which were thought to be far too inhospitable to support life.  Not just in boiling mud, but in steaming volcanic craters, in the rocky chimneys that grow above deep-ocean volcanic vents spewing forth hot salty water (‘black smokers’), in areas of extreme cold in the Antarctic, and even in the hyper-salty Dead Sea in Israel, a treasure trove of living organisms has been revealed. These ‘extremophiles’ (Greek - philos = ‘loving’) can tolerate astonishing extremes of temperatur

Evolutionists Always Have an Explanation

Image
by Robert Sorensen I know someone who seems to be alarmed at the proclamations of proponents of evolution. "Can this be refuted?" There seems to be an element of fear involved, and it does not need to be there. How should a creationist deal with something that appears to affirm evolution? Learn the Basics There is a wealth of solid creation science available online. Videos, DVDs, articles, lectures (in video or audio formats) and so on from reputable creation organizations can be purchased, and many things are there waiting for you at no cost. There are links on this site (including YouTube playlists, linked in the margin on the right), and the materials presented here are specially selected. If you follow the links to the articles, you can find literally thousands more articles from those sites. Learn Critical Thinking Skills As above, when you learn some basic information, you will also be exposed to logical thinking and refutation of evolutionary propaganda techniqu

No Free Will According to Evolution

Image
The rough summary of the atheistic evolutionary version of life, the universe and everything is: There was nothing. Then, this nothing exploded, which caused stars, planets, galaxies and stuff like that. Through time and chance, life happened ("spontaneous generation", an unscientific philosophy taught by Aristotle ). With the help of mutations and natural selection, time and chance made life evolve, upward, more and more complex. You are the product of no purpose, the slave of chemical impulses in your brain. There is no God, no final judgment, no eternal reward or punishment. When you die, you're worm food. And they want to take away our beliefs for that worldview? Not hardly!   To be consistent with atheistic materialism, free will is impossible. We are reduced to chemistry and to environment, which in turn influences our chemistry. The one who claims that there is no God is responding to his chemistry. (For that matter, he has no right to complain about horr

Audio Saturday: Hitler and the Nazi Darwinian Worldview

Image
The fact that the Nazi worldview drew heavily from Darwinism has been thoroughly  documented, despite the denials of evolutionists. Dr. Jerry Bergman has done considerable research on this topic , and has written a he avily-documented book. "Dr. Jerry Bergman has taught biology, genetics, chemistry, biochemistry, anthropology, geology and microbiology at the college and university level for over 40 years. He has over 900 science publications to his credit, in twelve languages. He has published 30 books and monographs and been a consultant for over 20 science textbooks. He appeared on Crosstalk to discuss his latest book, Hitler and the Nazi Darwinian Worldview . It is subtitled, 'How the Nazi Eugenic Crusade for a superior race caused the greatest holocaust in world history.'" You can listen to the MP3 or download it here . Addendum: The "Hitler was a Christian" nonsense is easily refuted here .

Giraffe Design Shows Evolution to be Fundamentally Flawed

Image
morgueFile/ Irenegynnildponton (modified) Are you familiar with the expression, "A place for everything, and everything in its place"? Well, now you are. We have seen many times that so many creatures are very intricate. There are numerous features that must be in place and working together, or nothing works at all. One must be very uninformed or very credulous indeed to believe that such details could be the result of time, chance, and random mutations evolving piecemeal. Nothing would function, make sense, or "need" to evolve a little at a time. Yet people desperately cling to evolutionism, even though it is ludicrous to do so. Ironically, NASA has studied the skin of the giraffe for application in space suits to help the blood circulation of the astronauts. Designers studying the work of the Master Designer... An excellent example of many working parts in harmony, all showing the skill of the Creator, is the giraffe. Especially that long neck. The gir
