Salamander Rocket Mouth

Image
The Chinese Giant Salamander really sucks. No, this is not a disparaging term. It is quite literal. This kind of salamander has incredible suction abilities, as seen in this slow-motion video: Their suction abilities are almost as powerful as rocket cars, but last only a fraction of a second. morgueFile/clconroy  Other creatures use suction-feeding techniques, but the Giant Salamander is constructed differently. As expected, evolutionists spin some fanciful tales to force-fit their philosophies into the observed facts — these "explanations" raise more questions than they purport to answer. Some rocket cars can accelerate at 5 g-forces. For comparison, respectable acceleration for a sports car amounts to half a "g," and people faint when accelerating at 5g's. But long before the rocket car was invented, fish were accelerating just as forcefully into the mouths of giant salamanders. How did these thin-skinned amphibians acquire rocket-force mouthpa

Eye Design and Evolution

Image
There are some people who claim that the human eye must  be the product of evolution because if it was designed, the Designer did a poor job. (Ironically, they imply that evolution itself does a poor job of designing things with such statements.) These people do not know what they are talking about. Many of them are Dawkinsites, parroting his uninformed opinions from  The Blind Watchmaker. Dilated by the Ophthalmologist Dawkins or these other people who think they can suggest better design possibilities for the human eye should check with ophthalmologists. The scientific realities and intricacies are far different than conjectures rooted in ignorance. Backwardly wired retina? One of the tired old canards on which antitheists have dined out for years is the claim that our eye is stupidly wired back to front, something no decent designer would use. E.g. the vociferous misotheist and eugenicist Clinton R. Dawkins said in his famous book, The Blind Watchmaker :   ‘A

Music Video: Monkeys for Uncles

Let's have some fun today. ApologetiX released the official video of "Monkeys for Nothing" on April 1 (appropriate for evolutionism). It is a parody of "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits. The song is brilliant, and the video is very close to the original .

Evolution, Invertebrates and Missing Links

Image
Evolutionists will tell you that the fossil record is loaded with transitional forms. This is not correct . Some things with superficial resemblances are inaccurately foisted upon the public as "proof" and "transitional forms", but such things are missing. Especially among the invertebrates. More than that, there should be millions (or more) true, undisputed transitional forms showing the relationships between animal phyla are not to be found, and scientists are in disagreement about their relationships to one another. Creatures that we think of as "simple" have some very complex features. Not only is there considerable disagreement about their relationship to each other, but there is nothing in the fossil record showing how these complex traits supposedly evolved. In fact, fossilized ancestors of many invertebrates show little if any appreciable differences from their modern counterparts. In their 2010 zoology text, evolutionists Stephen Mille

False Attribution and Fallacious Assertions in Evolutionary Materials

Image
One thing that gets people flustered that need to learn more about creation science and critical thinking skills is the way that Darwin's Cheerleaders play "bait and switch" games with their words. For example, these bullies equivocate "science" into "evolution", and say things like, "If you deny evolution, then you hate science". Another bit of fast and loose wordplay is when they "prove" evolution by simply saying that something is proof, and use circular reasoning by assuming that it is true, therefore, the evidence proves evolution. Wrong. Many scientific findings get labeled with “evolution” even though neo-Darwinism has nothing to do with them. Reversible evolution:  A study on dust mites reported by Science Daily claims evolution can run backwards to previous states – a violation of an evolutionary principle called Dollo’s Law.  For one, the supposed phylogenetic analysis began and ended with dust mites,

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?

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 .
