The aardvark (from the Dutch, meaning "earth-hog") is confounding to proponents of plankton-to-paleontologist evolution for several reasons. One is that it looks like it was assembled with spare parts of several animals, so we have another cladistics fail. The fossil record does not give a hint as to its alleged evolutionary ancestry. Add to that the numerous features, such as: Designed for digging, which it does remarkably fast Chowing down on ants, termites, and plants A sensitive sniffer Fast runner Mostly solitary Of course, Darwinists use useless terms like " convergent evolution " and make excuses, but the fact is that the aardvark cannot be explained through naturalistic processes. The Creator designed it, personally, I think it's one of those critters he made to show that he has a sense of humor. Despite being one of the first words in a dictionary or encyclopedia, the aardvark is still something of a mystery for many people outside its hom

Imagine a spider that spent an hour building a web (usually at night), then seeing a clumsy bird blast on through it, ruining the work. Well, back to the drawing board. Except that it doesn't happen all that often. Why not? FreeImages.com / Aleš Čerin The special property that the spider puts into the web so that the bird can see it is being imitated (biomimetics) in special bird-safe glass, and considered for other applications. God gave critters special abilities, and he gave us intelligently-designed minds to observe and implement characteristics of his creation. Ironically, many people who are intelligently designing items based on what they see in nature believe that those creatures evolved by time, chance, mutations and random processes. Makes perfect sense. No, not really. Have you ever heard the thump of a confused bird hitting a window? Countless birds are killed each year when they fly directly into window glass. Sometimes they can’t see the glass panes that are

What's that up yonder in the sky, lighting things up at night? Sometimes it's a crescent, other times it's round, once in a while in the daytime, other times you can't see it at all. In Latin, it's called luna,  but those of us who speak English call it the moon. What's it there for, anyway? Well, it has several effects on Earth. The Effect of the Moon / Eugene Boudin / 1891 Old Earth proponents have no idea how it got there, but many hang onto the " impact hypothesis " because that idea offends logic the least. Also, the sun is 400 times larger than the moon, and also 400 times farther away, which makes things interesting during a solar eclipse, and no other planets have that kind of size-distance ratio. (I reckon that those owlhoots who keep getting all excited when they think they've found a "habitable planet" orbiting another star can find out if those  planets have useful moons.) The gravity of the moon regulates tides on Ea

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen A certain anti-creationist insists that poems are interpreted, not facts or data. Strange talk from someone who supposedly has a doctorate, and I reckon that it's his bias that motivates such a wrong statement. Picture this, if you will. I started up the car and the "check engine" light came on and stayed on, giving a dose of anxiety to start the day. When I took the car to my mechanic, he plugged in his machine to get the data. From the codes, that model's history, and other checking, he was able to tell me what was going on and repair it. Tech Sgt. Annette Ferguson-Sims watches over a patient during an MRI scan.

A great difficulty for secular geologists to explain through uniformitarian views are the large cratonic basins. In fact, they even admit that their hypotheses do not cover what is actually observed. The Genesis Flood submodel explains these basis far better than the secular views. Great Basin National Park / tpsdave / Pixabay The origin of the basins is unknown by uniformitarian geologists, and the problem is compounded by the large volume of sediments, subsidence models have major problems, and other difficulties. (Geologists don't cotton to looking for numerous impact craters on Earth because they assume  the planet is ancient, and impacts occurred long ago.) The properties of the basins, however, are consistent with an impact hypothesis  in keeping with the Genesis Flood. The Earth is not ancient, and the evidence shows that it was created much more recently than some people are willing to admit. Cratonic basins are mysterious features of the interior of continents. A

It seems that the most likely place to hear about forensic science is when it relates to law enforcement investigations, but it applies to other areas as well. With advances in science and technology, "cold case" crimes have been solved, and some were decades old . The 1888 Jack the Ripper murders have been "solved" several times, but each conclusion comes up lacking,  even with DNA testing . Obviously, forensic science is historical in nature, using evidence that exists in the present to attempt to explain the past. Reproduction of John Underhill's 1637 woodcut of assault on fortified Pequot village / PD The older the scene of investigation, the more sketchy the details become, even with modern methods. Scenes are contaminated in many ways, witnesses become unavailable (or dead, if something happened long enough ago), physical evidence may be lost or tampered with, and more. The massacre of a fortified Pequot village in 1637 has been undergoing investig

Still another puzzler for scum-to-sycamore evolutionists is the origin of trees. Not only is there no fossil evidence of their origin (the Wollemi pine has been pretty much unchanged for alleged millions of years), but trees are intricately engineered. Nantahala National Forest , image credit: US Department of Agriculture How plants make oxygen during photosynthesis is baffling today, so the origin of that process is even more mysterious to naturalists. Varieties of seed dispersal, the basic structure, the origin of wood — lots of evolutionary conjectures that stem from naturalistic presuppositions, but not from anything factual. Wooden you know, trees were created, not evolved, old son. There are few things more beautiful and soothing than walking through a forest or grove of trees. Scripture has much to say about these majestic woody perennials, from the “fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind” (Genesis 1:11) to “the tree of life” that will be freely accessible t
