How Many Grand Canyons Do You Want?

Image
Uniformitarian geologists, using "the present is the key to the past" as their paradigm, tell us that aside from the occasional catastrophe, the slow and gradual processes that occur today are responsible for the features of the earth's surface that we observe. However, their explanations fall far short of giving adequate explanations (faith-based assertions need not apply). Visitors silhouetted on Grand Canyon overlook/Richard Frear/US National Park Service Biblical creation scientists have a far different explanation for observed data — and a far better one. The Grand Canyon is the most popular example of catastrophic Noachian Flood processes. However, this is not the only "grand canyon", nor is it the largest. On the seminar trail, I and other ICR speakers often use Grand Canyon as an example of Flood-caused geological features. We frequently run into opposition from people who’ve been taught that it took millions of years for the canyon to be carve

Conversation With Dr. Russell Humphreys on Magnetic Fields

Image
Here I am, back behind my unregistered assault keyboard, providing resources to creation-affirming science (plus some theological and philosophical) articles. On Real Science Radio, Bob Enyart interviewed Dr. D. Russell Humphreys about magnetic fields, emphasizing those of Earth and Mercury. Dr. Humphreys made predictions from a biblical creationist viewpoint which were confirmed — much to the dismay of evolutionary scientists. He has also studied the decay of Earth's magnetic field. Artist concept of the MESSENGER spacecraft in orbit around planet Mercury. Credit: NASA The confirmed predictions of Humphreys fit well with a biblical creation model, and defy proponents of an old universe. Decaying magnetic fields support a young universe, and unsupportable "theories" such as the "dynamo" are conjured up in order to cling to their belief in an old universe. Boy do the atheists have a problem: Real Science Radio co-host Bob Enyart interviews physicist

The Earnestness of Being Unimportant

Image
by Cowboy Bob Sorensen What follows is an article that I submitted to Creation Ministries International for publication. They turned it down because it was not suitable for publication on their Website. I can see why, since my style is markedly different than that of their writers, and the subject matter is rather different. So, I reworked it for Internet Evangelism Day , since my calling is evangelism through creation science. Hello, I am a nobody, and I have no status in the world. That is all right because I am not here to impress people. But the Creator of the universe died for me and bodily rose from the dead, and his Spirit is living in me — I am somebody to him. Using the Internet, unknown people in the world can make our voices heard and proclaim the most important message of all.  A few years ago, I rededicated my life to Christ. In my efforts to regain lost ground and get back into the Word and good teachings, God called me to proclaim creation science

SETI: Array for Tax Dollars!

Image
The SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence) Institute ( not  involved in UFO research) uses radio telescopes in the Allen Telescope Array (ATA) to search for signals from space that indicate alien intelligence. They want tax dollars to fund their research, and made the outlandish promise that they will  find extraterrestrial life in the near future so they can get the money. NASA/JPL-Caltech There are several reasons for this confidence (or arrogance, or even a con game). These include a great deal on luck, and the presupposition that evolution is a fact (it must have  happened "out there"). Naturalistic assumptions are fanciful at best. Perhaps if they increased their membership drive (individual memberships begin at $50 USD), they would not need to make every pay for their evolutionary fantasies. In hopes of keeping funding flowing, the SETI Institute promised US congresspersons that scientists will find extraterrestrial life in our lifetime. According

Intelligently Designing Based on Evolution?

Image
When scientists use biomimicry (or "biomimetics", studying nature for the purpose of imitation and application to technology and other purposes), they have the presuppositions of millions of years and evolution. This is self-contradictory; they want to intelligently design products based on what they believe happened through time, chance, random processes, mutations and so on. In addition, evolution and natural selection are given the status of intelligent entities, choosing and designing! To further show self-contradiction, nature was designed by the Creator, but instead, they want to give credit to evolutionism's false pagan deities . Then they have serious flaws in the imitation processes! Increasing numbers of innovative researchers borrow from biology when they examine and incorporate living systems into man-made designs. We know how man-made designs originate— people design them. But what about living designs? Two recent biomimicry research programs let slip

Wasps Have Big Eyes — Therefore, Evolution!

Image
Darwin's Cheerleaders want things both ways. On one hand, if a fossil is found and the creature exists today, virtually unchanged after alleged millions of years, it did not need  to evolve, so it did not do so. But on the other hand, people will attribute every little change in some critter to evolution, almost as if Darwinian evolution were an irrevocable, irresistible, intelligent power. morgueFile / earl53 Some species of wasps have larger eyes. Why? Because they needed to evolve them! Larger eyes are proof of evolution. Researcher Michael Sheehan said , "Larger facets in their compound eyes mean better vision, but we found that as these wasps get smaller, they have larger than expected eyes. This demonstrates that they evolved improved acuity relative to size in order to discriminate among different individuals in the colony." But this is fallacious reasoning , which is to be expected with evolutionary presuppositions guiding the interpretation of observatio

Evolution, Psychology and Shots in the Dark

Image
by Cowboy Bob Sorensen Here is something ironic. Astrology has the trappings of science, and astrologers contend that it is  science, but  it is rejected by scientists . On the other hand, psychology does not have much that is consistent to really define it as science (repeatable, testable, observable, predictability, specificity and so on), yet it is considered a science. Darwinism lacks many of the same elements that define a science. If rejection of accountability to God was in the direct criteria to define science, astrology would probably be accepted as a science as well. Like astrology, psychology has a great deal of uncertain predictions that can be plugged into a wide range of possibilities to claim successful results. Modern psychology is generally considered to have had its genesis with Sigmund Freud (a.k.a. Frood-dude ). Freud, Jung and others were influenced by Darwinian ideas , and most psychologies are humanistic in their procedures. For the most part, there are se
