DNA and Misunderstood Communication

Image
Do you realize that no matter how much you know, there’s an infinite amount more to know? Which means, no matter how much you know, you don’t know how much more there is to know anyway, which means no matter how much you know, you don’t know how much you do know or don’t know in relation to whatever there is to know (which you don’t know what it is anyway) which means you just don’t know much at all. — Ken Ham The more scientists study DNA, the more discoveries there are to make, the more they find out that there is a great deal yet to learn . The assumption that every living thing speaks the same language turns out to be in error, and certain "stop" and "go" instructions in some organisms can mean something completely different in other organisms. Image * After Some of the Evo Sith claim that DNA is proof of evolution. The intricacies of the DNA language are definitely not that! Rather, DNA is further evidence that life was designed by an infinite

Should Christians Teach Children About Evolution?

Image
Occasionally, some creationists will post comments along the lines of, "I'll only teach the truth of creation to my kids, none of that evil-ution stuff in my house!" Unfortunately, this well-intentioned mindset does a disservice to young people because they cannot be insulated from evolution because it is pervasive and foundational to all sorts of evil. freeimages.com / "Studying Hard" / twinkledee Instead, we must present evolution — but within a biblical framework. We need to show not only the evidence that overwhelmingly supports creation and the Bible, but also the flaws of evolution that are seldom presented in a secular setting. Further, we need to teach them to think critically so they can see the flaws in the logic of evolution's proponents, and that evidence is interpreted through worldviews. Otherwise, when evolution is presented to them as fact (including "evidence" that is nothing more than speculations, hypotheses and even gu

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
