Bugs and Brains in Evolution Maybeland

Image
Don't you wish you were there to see Homer Primitive say, "Mmmm...bugs..."? Scientists studied some wild monkeys for 436 hours (not at one time) to see how they went about getting bugs for food. They used tools (not in the conceptual manner of humans, of course). Some good observational science was happening. Then it was spoiled by a trip to Maybeland. Some evolutionary fantasists are coming up with ideas that the desire to eat bugs helped human evolution along. Seeing monkeys foraging for bugs gave rise to speculation that the same desires caused pre-humans with bugs on the brain to have their actual brains grow and change — therefore, evolution. And yet, we know that the brain itself is not the person , the soul, the source of free will. So that makes this speculation even weirder. Of course, there is no biological precedent, no model, no real science, but that does not stop them from putting forth wild anti-science tales for that grant money. Mmmm....money..

Saturn Further Supports Creation

Image
In a previous article about Saturn,  we saw that Saturn presents several enigmas for secular cosmologists. It also provides support for biblical creation models for a young universe. The rings of Saturn should not be there, it is a gas giant, it has low density, has dozens of moons (many of which also pose their own puzzles), and so on. Credit: NASA / STScI What is worse for evolutionary cosmologists is that fact that creationist scientist Dr. D. Russell Humphreys predicted the magnetic fields of several planets (including Saturn) . Not only was he proved right, but the evolutionists were proved quite wrong. Things are cranking up even more now because the auroras of Saturn are frustrating secular models that have been suggested for the planet's magnetic field. Over a million people have viewed the NASA video "Walking On Air," which features stunning arctic and Antarctic auroras photographed from the International Space Station.1 They look like glowing green me

The Tiger of Creation Science Continues Taming Dragons of Evolutionism

Image
"Dragon" is an old word for dinosaur, and dinosaurs are pretty much extinct. Now the term "dragon" has become an illustration of fantasy or personal struggles, such as things that need to be faced and eliminated. Evolution is not only a fantasy dragon in which people still believe, but it also transmogrifies. The concept of evolution is an ancient pagan religion, and began to take on scientific respectability in more recent centuries. The version that Darwin popularized had already changed shape before he joined the choir invisible. It seems that evolution's magickal transmogrification is accelerating, new speculations are refuted with facts and observations, so more speculations are offered as "science". Darwinoids constantly seek out creationists to attack, mindlessly calling anyone "liar" who dares to disagree with evolution and show evidence for creation, and then making excuses because reality does not fit evolutionary fantasies. N

Can Scientists Find Free Will?

Image
— Cowboy Bob Sorensen A frequent complaint that atheists and evolutionist have against the Bible pertains to free will, a subject that has been debated for a long, long time. Some of them complain from prejudicial conjecture (presenting an uninformed, biased opinion), incomplete information or simple ignorance. The problem is compounded because different theologians have varying explanations for free will. Most Christians agree, however, that God did not create us to be robots. Someone made a comment on Facebook demanding scientific proof for the existence of the soul. Right. That is a logical fallacy called the category error — you cannot use material methods to test for the non-material. It is just as futile to require empirical evidence for the existence of God, who is spirit and outside the confines of time and space. You may as well ask for a bushel basket of patriotism. If evolution were true, then free will is impossible. Think about it. We are all star stuff, ultimate

Chameleons, Evidence of Creation

Image
When I was young, I had a couple of chameleons in a small plastic shoebox-like container. At least, I thought they were chameleons. They were marketed that way. Much later, I learned that they were not chameleons at all, but a distant relative known as green anoles . These lizards could do a bit of color changing, and were cute. My mother didn't like them. Yemen chameleon / Pixabay / miniformat65 True chameleons are famous for being able to change their colors so they can blend with their backgrounds. This is only a legend. There are about 160 species, and many do change color to some extent, but the blending with the background is part of their natural coloration and their conduct. Chameleons are skilled hunters and hiders, with extremely efficient abilities. Eyes, tail, ultra-fast tongue — truly a product of the Creator, not of evolutionary processes. He might look bizarre to you, but not to a bug. With his impressive arsenal of specialized hunting equipment, the chamele

Approval of Seals

Image
Pinnipeds (walruses, sea lions, seals) have many features that testify to the intelligence of their Creator. Their swimming ability is amazing, and some can dive to depths that should  kill them if they were not built for it. The insulation of those that live in cold climates (which is the majority) is also impressive. Naturally, Darwin's Drones insist that they are a product of evolution, but they cannot give any account for it or a believable mechanism. The best explanation is that they were created. Around the world, seals and sea lions represent different things to different people. One superstition says that it’s bad luck to kill a seal because they embody the souls of dead sailors. To marine theme park visitors, they are cute and talented performers able to balance balls and walk on their flippers; to environmentalists, they are defenceless pups slaughtered for their pristine fur; to commercial fishermen they are a threat to fish stocks; and to wild-life enthusiasts th

Neanderthals in Spain — Or Were They?

Image
Neanderthal bones in Spain fell nowhere near the plain. They have caused a great deal of controversy in several locations, throwing off evolutionary dating timelines and more. Now it seems that remains in Spain may not be Neanderthal. Or they may be. Or both. Or neither. Huh? Personally, I opt for "both", since they are nowhere near the Neander Valley, they may be Neander-Spanish, like other immigrants that hyphenate their old and new homes. Ya dig? It seems that whenever there is a variation in any living organism, the Evo Sith are looking for a way to say that it is an example of evolution in action. This is not only very fallacious because they use circular reasoning, ignore conflicting explanations and so on, but an example of their biases. Trying to shove variations of these ancient humans into some "that must be evolution" scheme seems desperate. If you're confused, it is not surprising, considering the ever-changing speculations that are offered as &quo

Mercury Top the Dinosaur

Image
The dinosaur called Mercuriceratops gemini  has been discovered in a well-populated dinosaur graveyard called the Dinosaur Park Formation in Alberta, Canada. Unlike the Roman character Mercury, this one was not named because it was a messenger of the dinosaur gods. Rather, it has frills on its head that reminded people of the wings on the head of that particular Roman. Mercury  by Evelyn de Morgan As is so typical of evolutionary paleontologists, they see evolution  instead of variation.  In fact, even though most of the creature has not been recovered (only some skull bones), there is already speculation as to the purpose of the frills on the head. What is more interesting than this less-than-frilling relative of Triceratops  is the story that the massive boneyard itself reveals. Sporting wing-like frills on the side of its head, Mercuriceratops gemini , like its winged messenger namesake among the gods of classical mythology, is said to deliver a new chapter to the evolution

The Universe Should Not Even Exist — Wait, What?

Image
The Big Bang has evolved several times and is only distantly related to the original concept. Cosmic background radiation was thought to be a proof for it, but then the horizon problem appeared and did more harm than good. Also, the Teleological Argument would not go away. Being skilled metaphysicians, cosmogonists and cosmologists brought forth ex nihilo  the idea of "inflationary theory". This, too, is something that looks good on paper but cannot be proved. Computer simulation of particle traces from an LHC collision in which a Higgs Boson is produced. (c) CERN. Image credit: Lucas Taylor Then there was a ruckus about the Higgs boson. Atheists were rejoicing at the possibility that the universe could indeed spontaneously come into existence (a credulity-straining extrapolation at best), but the celebration was premature . Now it looks worse. Given for the sake of argument that evidence for the Big Bang and inflation has been found, it cannot work.  The more

Evolution Endorsers Perturbed When Facts Contradict Paradigms

Image
We frequently see how evolutionary scientists are amazed and annoyed because the facts do not comport with their presuppositions. In addition, we also see that they tweak, ignore, deny and make up wild stories to force-fit observed evidence into their evolutionary worldview. This does not work. In reality, the evidence fits the biblical creationist models. Real Science Radio hosts Bob Enyart and Fred Williams have fun providing so many examples of evolutionists (chemical, stellar, biological) being jaw-dropping surprised, shocked, even stunned and horrified, when their huge discoveries contradict some of the most fundamental predictions of their materialist theories. You can read the write-up and listen to the audio at " RSR's List of Shocked Evolutionists ".
