Piltdown Superman

Here's an understatement: turtles do not feel the need for speed. Many of us like to see the armored vehicles lumbering along (and even helping them get across the road, but make sure you don't get hit by traffic when doing your good deed), or admiring their markings. Their design (such as box turtles having their own "antifreeze" ) is quite interesting, as well. Box Turtle / Valley Forge National Park / US National Park Service The shells of these critters are not miniature army helmets. Instead, the Master Architect included many features similar to (and superior in many ways) advanced designs by human engineers. Unlike most reptiles, which escape danger by hiding or running, turtles carry around a protective shield and home all rolled into one. No other vertebrate does anything quite like this. A portable home requires special architectural designs—not just on the inside but for the whole body plan. I prefer to think of turtles as walking cathedrals, tem

“I have no doubt that I am very stupid, but I must confess that I am unable to follow you. For example, how did you deduce that this man was intellectual?” For answer Holmes clapped the hat upon his head. It came right over the forehead and settled upon the bridge of his nose. “It is a question of cubic capacity,” said he; “a man with so large a brain must have something in it.” —A. Conan Doyle, " The Adventure of the Blue Carbuncle " Pixabay / Gerd Altmann It has been a staple of evolutionary dogma that having a bigger brain means someone is more smarter than us reg'lar folk. The Sherlock Holmes bit quoted above shows that view. Ever see the animated show " Pinky and the Brain "? They were altered lab mice, and the genius had the larger cranium. Problem is, the concept isn't true , and was even used as an excuse for Social Darwinism. Just another story to tell around the campfire when riding along the Evolution Trail. Another problem is that Dar

Today's post has two sections about the amazing human eye. (This is not repeating how tinhorns who claim that the eye has "bad design" are thoroughly refuted, but you can read about that here .) Today we'll look at some different things. Eyelids and lashes help remove debris. So do tears. Did you know that only humans shed tears through emotion, and Darwinists can't explain this? (You know, like when anti-creationists realize that they are clinging to their rejection of biblical creation despite the scientific evidence they think brings them truth.) When crying through emotion, opioid-like molecules are released and some are re-absorbed so you feel better. When we think about human vision, the first thing that comes to mind is the eye. But just as a star football player performs with other essential players on his team, our eyes are supported by key, well-designed structures that are absolutely essential to making sight possible. We will consider some of

Back on May 6, 2014, I posted about " Faking the Fossil Whales ". The subject was how Dr. Carl Werner documented altered whale fossils that were sold to museums, and the admission to altering was made in a video. Naturally, this generated heat from some owlhoots who were protecting their religion of evolutionism. After all, whale evolution is supposedly well documented — if you call storytelling from bits and pieces "documentation". I was attacked, Dr. Werner and radio show host Bob Enyart were impugned as well; it's a mite irritating to be called a liar by liars in the course of their lying. Rodhocetus  skull at University of Michigan Museum of Natural History / Wikimedia Commons / ellenm1 Some tinhorn came out of the gate with libelous accusations, and claimed that he had corresponded with Phil Gingerich, one of the people Dr. Werner interviewed on his video. Gingerich allegedly wrote in part, "I have been criticized for speculating that Rodhocet

Arguing from their worldviews, Darwinists see similarities between organisms and believe that it indicates particles-to-pathologist evolution. Biblical creationists take a more reasonable approach from their own worldview, seeing similarities indicates common design by the Creator. Changes in the building blocks of life through mutations are supposed to add  information. This does not work, since it has not been observed, and cannot be observed because it takes allegedly millions of years to happen. Also, regulatory DNA is a small part of the big picture, a fact that is hostile to evolution. No, the big picture is in a rather surprising place. The work of our wise common Designer is evident even between our genes. Every time a baby is conceived, his or her genetic blueprint is put to work orchestrating construction of his or her human body. Yet geneticists have found that primate animals share many of the twenty to thirty thousand protein-coding genes in the human genome. Fro

Quantum physics (a.k.a. quantum mechanics, quantum theory) can be daunting to say the least. It requires a great deal of analytic thought and skill in advanced mathematics and gets into subjects on the subatomic level. (Some people would probably prefer  bronco busting  to doing this stuff.) But it is a valid operational science. Unlike many of the natural sciences, it is mostly untainted by homages to Darwin, since evolution has nothing to do with it. However, quantum physics  is  supportive of biblical creation (Hebrews 1:3, Colossians 1:17). Newtonian (classical) physics covered a great deal of ground, but some things were left unexplained. (There have been people who say that quantum physics  replaced  Newtonian physics, but that is incorrect.) Some of the experts in quantum physics were reluctant to accept quantum theory, but they ended up practicing the adage, "Follow where the evidence leads". This area of science is supported by empirical evidence, although the

Here I am, still behind my unregistered assault keyboard, bringing you news that annoys Neo-Darwinists and delights biblical creationists! Ready? Believers in an old earth maintain that our planet is billions of years old, and the fossils they dig up have been around for many millions of years. No wonder they are continually baffled when scientific discoveries contradict their paradigm. If something has been dead, buried, fossilized, it should look  and act  old. Image: NASA.gov Word is spreading, much to the annoyance of evolutionists, that red blood cells, carbon-14, soft tissues and other things have been found in dinosaur bones ( several links about that are here ). With advances in technology, more biological materials from the olden days are being found. While this information frustrates proponents of evolution, it fits right well with biblical creationist models. Do we live on an earth that is 4.6 billion years old or only thousands of years old? The age of our planet
