Don't Fear the Ice Cores

Image
Some biblical creationists are intimidated by the certainty of long-agers who insist that they have strong evidence for an ancient earth and that the biblical timeline is impossibly short. This confidence is based on bravado. In actuality, the ice cores are nowhere near as reliable as evolutionist claim. Pixabay / Antarctica / Mariamichelle Several assumptions made regarding ice sheets, flow models and core samples, including the assumption that they are extremely old. Also, they are calibrated and confirmed by other methods that require numerous assumptions. This amounts to circular reasoning, one of the most common practices of evolutionary science. Using a Noah's Flood model, creation scientists used their  assumptions for flow models and came up with more believable results. There are three parts in this set. First, " Ice Cores, Seafloor Sediments, and the Age of the Earth: Part 1 ", and then, " Ice Cores, Seafloor Sediments, and the Age of the Earth: P

Cultists as Creationists

Image
Previously, I wrote an article about how people need to be discerning. Cults like the Sacred Name, Jehovah's Witnesses and others will use interest in origins as a way to rope in the unsuspecting and feed them their "truth".  On another Weblog, I wrote about a Sacred Name cultist posing as a biblical creationist and speaking blasphemy on Facebook. I hope this article (and others linked within) will not only expose the charlatan, but also give encouragement to check for deceptions and compare their statements with the Word of God. After all, this is not the only time or place that this will happen. Please see " A Cult on Facebook Claiming to be Creationist ".

Microscopic Machinery is at Work in You

Image
The human body has been likened to a machine with all of its components functioning together for existence and procreation. Animals can also be compared to animals; I tell my wife that I like watching Basement Cat, the Feline Machine. To some extent, the machinery comparison can be extended to plants as well. It becomes easier to notice the similarities as we learn more about biology, even down to the molecular level. Your cells are far more complicated than this machine Pixabay / PublicDomainPictures In fact, the components of the living cell were considered simple. In fact, our cells are loaded with extremely complicated machines and mechanisms that were designed by our Creator before mankind began to dream of them. I cannot see how, on an intellectual level, someone could believe in time, chance, mutations and so on, and deny that life is intricately designed. But it is not an intellectual battle, it is about ideologies and rebellion against God.  Here are a few new repor

Prehistoric Plant Users?

Image
Creationists are grinning about dental calculus. Of course, we wouldn't be grinning so much about having to have our own removed. Rather, archaeologists made some cavities and are studying the remains of supposedly prehistoric people. Studying dental build-up has put evolutionists down in the mouth before, and it is happening again. Evolutionary assumptions are that humans were stupid brutes early in their development, and they were too stupid to figure out how to use plants effectively. It seems that the people of this study knew about plants, and how to use them effectively — possibly for medicinal purposes. The results fit with biblical post-Flood dispersal models and put a cap on evolutionary guesses. Al Khiday, near the Nile River in Central Sudan, contains five archaeological sites with burial grounds representing three cultures: one without evidence of agriculture, another with evidence of some agricultural development, and a more recent one suggesting a well-devel

Evolution is not in the Cards for Sharks

Image
A creature with one of the worst reputations is the shark. It's often a victim of "guilt by association" where people think that just because it's a shark, it will seek you out and kill you. For that matter, the word "shark" covers a lot of ground, because there are various species of shark. This gets more complicated because the hammerhead, for example, comprises more of a family of several species. Most shark attacks on humans are from three kinds , and some of the reports are sketchy. Some of them are huge and alarming to behold, but (like the majority) have no interest in humans. But there's no need to be careless, either. Basking shark, harmless to humans / Pixabay / tpsdave Sharks are amazingly efficient at doing shark stuff. Evolutionists have no idea how they evolved ( especially the teeth !) and have no plausible models, but they're certain it happened because they presume that evolution is a fact. Realistically, they are examples o

Evolutionists Carping About Shark Genes

Darwin's Cheerleaders have been making up their "Just So" stories with imagination that would make Kipling envious. If someone chooses to suspend their disbelief and ability to think, some of the stories of evolution can almost make sense. Beginning with evolutionary preconceptions, Darwinists construct tales of life coming from non-life, then progressing through many stages, branching out and culminating in the huge variety of life forms that are seen today. Scientific observations have refuted these stories time and time again, but the faithful cling to their evolutionary views despite  the evidence, not because of it. The idea of one kind of fish evolving into another kind of fish that flopped onto land and evolved into air breathers is a long-believed story. Sharks are supposedly related to one of those early fishes. However, genetic studies (a constant enemy of evolutionary conjectures) of sharks have shown serious contradictions to what these scientists exp

Natural Selection and Vertebrae

Image
The expression "built for speed" applies to more than just machinery. A study of the vertebrae in mammals' skeletons had some interesting results. Creatures that are built for speed tend to have little variation in different kinds, but the slower animals that do not rely on speed for survival have more variation. The study was an example of natural selection. Natural selection does not mean molecules-to-man evolution. Instead, it weeds out the unfit and preserves organisms within genetic limitations; it does not add new genetic information to enable an organism to turn into something else. Interestingly, this study had a result that the scientists did not plan: It supports the work of the Designer, not evolution. Why is the number of vertebrae in the trunk of mammals, despite diverse lifestyles, “surprisingly constant”? Evolutionary biologists investigating biodiversity want to know. To solve this riddle, Frietson Galis of Leiden’s Naturalis Biodiversity Center
