Salamanders Have "Living Fossil" Status

Image
So often, evolutionary science is a game of words. Remember the new golden rule, that whoever makes the definitions makes the rules . In this case, it's the term "living fossils". This is generally applied when a plant or animal is found alive and well, but had been declared extinct for "millions of years". The term "living fossil" is a bit of a loaded term, implying that evolution is true despite a bit of a glitch. They also want the best of both worlds. Evolution is a "fact", sometimes called a law as if it was a kind of inexorable force. So when these "living fossils" are discovered virtually unchanged, people will say something like, "It didn't evolve because it didn't have to". What fallacy is that, No True Evolution, or special pleading? stock.xchng / Fire Salamander / gc85 Salamanders are a bit different in the "living fossil" realm, since they have not been declared extinct while in hidi

Why So Surprised?

This site is a resource offering more resources. The articles come from different authors (and I even write a few myself), and there are links from the excerpts to the full articles. From there, seekers can browse those sites for additional information. Also, there are many links to creation science sites so people can continue to search and learn. You can use that material to see how evolutionists are constantly being confronted with observations that do not comport with their naturalistic presuppositions and worldview. Instead of realizing that Occam's Razor applies  (restated, the simplest explanation is probably the best one) and that God is the Creator, they bulk up their speculations with further speculations and end up with a complicated jumble in which they put their faith. And the discoveries that support Genesis just keep rolling in. The history of the world and its life could hardly be more different between the Bible’s account and that of modern evolutionary na

Distant Galaxies — Because Scientists Said So!

Image
Many years ago, I was given a twelve-inch vinyl record album from the "Talespinners for Children" series called "Moon Voyage". I had never heard of the "Talespinners" series before, and never obtained any of their other material. "Moon Voyage" was actually quite good, playing like a kind of historical radio drama and giving stargazing history. If I had a record player, I would consider buying it again. Perhaps we should start up a company called "Talespinners for Evolution"? There's money in evolutionary stories, you know. And they tell so many of them. For example, astronomers decided that due to the red shift, a certain galaxy must be the oldest one in existence. They conveniently forget " horizon problem ", and ignore other items, such as the brightness of stars in the galaxy, the fact that galaxies exist so far away fouls up the cosmology on the age of the universe, its appearance and other details. By arbitrari

MORE 1986 Refutation of Evolutionary Geology

In a previous post , Doctors Steve Austin and John Morris referenced a technical paper that they had published. After almost thirty years, the material is still relevant. Pike's Peak from Garden of the Gods / Library of Congress / PD Problems in uniformitarian geology discussed have not been satisfactorily explained. Instead, the Genesis Flood model explains what is plainly observed than evolutionary dogma. In last month’s edition of  Acts & Facts , I mentioned studies that Dr. Steve Austin and I presented in a technical paper demonstrating that the deformations in sedimentary strata at two sites better fit with the biblical Flood than with evolution’s long ages of deposition. We featured the first project site, the Split Mountain Formation in southern California, in that issue. Now we will examine geological evidence from the second site, the Ute Pass Fault in Colorado. Location and General Features The Rocky Mountains of Colorado were formed by “large revers

Trophy Hunting, Animal Rights and Evolutionary Thinking

Image
Modified from Noah's Prayer of Thanks After Leaving the Ark, by Dominico Morelli Today's article has an unusual genesis. Someone on Facebook posted comments about "hardcore huntress" Melissa Bachman's trophy hunting activities . This person is against trophy hunting, and referred to it as "murder". I am not a hunter, and detest killing animals for sport. But the person who was posting the comments insists that sport hunting is murder. Is it immoral?  That can be debated, because God gave man dominion over the earth ( Genesis 1.28 ), but we also are given responsible stewardship . I am not going to enter into an argument about whether or not sport hunting violates stewardship principles, but the Bible makes it clear that eating animals for food is acceptable — you cannot use the Bible to insist that everyone has a vegetarian diet . So, if you kill it and grill it, good for you. But to say that killing animals is murder?  This is a result of not

Audio Download — Real Science Radio Discussion

Image
"Greetings to the brightest audience in the country." I'm the QED Guy! Let me explain this audio. A few weeks ago, I was privileged to return to the airwaves from Bob Enyart Live . The first time, it was indeed live. This time, it was recorded. Looks like I was promoted, too. " Real Science Radio " has science discussions, and there are often interviews with real scientists. Guess my material on logical fallacies was worthwhile. Or he mixed up the recordings and played it on the wrong day. This discussion on logical fallacies, atheists and evolutionists was the final prompt for me to begin making the Piltdown Superman podcasts . (I hesitated to get fully into the logical fallacies series because I did not know when this show would be aired and posted.) Some of the items discussed on this show will be dealt with on the podcast, since Bob and I discussed several things in just a few minutes. One problem with logical fallacies is that several can be combined

Audio-Video Podcast 4 — Emotions and Rational Thought

Image
Since people today "think" more with their emotions than with their minds, they tend to be easy prey for those who want to manipulate and control them. Biblical creationists (and Christians in general) need to watch for trickery. More importantly, we need to be careful not to go beyond motivation and into manipulation.
