Two mainly American things going on with the word hoodoo.  In one sense, it loosely refers to folk magic or eerie stuff happening. In "Born on the Bayou", Creedence Clearwater Revival (guys who were from California) mentioned the old hound dog "chasin' down a hoodoo". The other use of the word is the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon, which is not really a canyon, but the edge of a high plateau. So we have one word with differing meanings, and a canyon that's not a canyon. Weird. Bryce Canyon National Park / National Park Service Weird stuff aside, this is about geology. More specifically, how the hoodoos were the result of geologic processes. Uniformitarian views do not give an adequate explanation of how those pillars were made, but Genesis Flood geology gives a more complete picture of how they really  formed. The visitor overlooks at Bryce Canyon, Utah, provide a breathtaking spectacle of row upon row of towering columns painted pink, red, white, and or

One of the biggest problems for evolutionary origin of life speculations is the presence of oxygen. It cannot exist at the beginning because life could not begin to evolve in the first place, so evolutionists have to keep moving the dates for when oxygen first appeared. Although disputed (molecular evidence is blurry after alleged billions of years, I reckon), there is geologic evidence that oxygen has been there all along — just like biblical creationists have said. Now there is additional evidence supporting a very early date for the presence of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere. That's how it was created in the beginning. Evolutionists have claimed that the early atmosphere during the Archean, older than 2.5 Ga within their timescale, contained no oxygen. Oxygen in the atmosphere will oxidize any developing organic molecule and make it non-biological. After about 2.4 Ga, the evolution of photosynthetic bacteria caused atmospheric carbon dioxide to be replaced by oxygen, wh

A quote attributed to Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens) reads, "In the beginning God made man in His image. And man has been returning the favor ever since." Although Mark Twain was not  an atheist (despite claims to the contrary), he had disdain for many aspects of organized religion. What is interesting is that what he said is true to some extent. People will make up an image of God that they like, expressed in statements like, " My  God would...", but seldom have anything to do with the Bible. This is idolatry. Unfortunately, some professing Christians have built up a comfortable, unbiblical, wimpy Jesus that they can worship — which is also idolatry . Atheists have no consistent standard for morality. Hold your horses, Herman! I'm not saying that atheists have no morality. In fact, many have high standards. But they have no consistent standard. When an unbeliever says, "That's wrong, you're bad for doing...", they're actually appealing to a

Proponents of atoms-to-athlete evolution insist that evolution has predictability. This is the opposite of what is actually observed, since evolution has lack of predictability and lack of benefit . Many of the predictions made by evolutionists seem to require people to put aside their reasoning ability and put their faith in the mystical esoteric knowledge of the high priests of evolutionism. Hox Cluster / Public Doman / Squidonius Falsified predictions in evolutionary thinking are readily apparent, especially in genetics. The Hox gene (combining the words homeobox and homeotic ) are strong indicators that God is the designer, not the mad god of naturalism. Without a doubt, humans, chimpanzees, and other organisms share some very similar features. One explanation for the origin of these features is that they reflect similar designs that serve similar purposes. The common design inference is quite intuitive since components of complicated human-designed systems are all di

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen One of the most frequent "Gotcha!" attempts from evolutionists that I've encountered at The Question Evolution Project and other places online is the "distant starlight" problem. That is, when we bring up the many evidences for a young Earth, solar system, and universe, those get ignored and the owlhoot campfire red herring song is sung: "We see light from stars billions of light years away, therefore, the universe must be old, the Big Bang is right, and you're wrong". They act like it's the creation science "elephant in the room" that is being ignored. First, in their efforts to slap leather with creationists, they're shooting themselves in the foot instead. The Big Bang is loaded with difficulties and ad hoc  "explanations" (rescuing devices), including it's own light travel difficulty called the " horizon problem ".  Also, changing the subject (which was evidence presented

Give some thought to your brain and how it works, if you don't mind. There are many new discoveries showing that bacteria-to-brain-surgeon evolution has nothing to do with the amazing complexity of the mind and various thinking abilities. The truth is, God gave us intelligently designed brains that he intends for us to use properly. The vision center is not just hard-wired for vision, forming neuron patters to learn new motor skills, processing information to realize if something is new or familiar, and more. Evolutionary "explanations" only get in the way — if they are offered at all. To learn the details, I'd lobe it if you clicked on " Built-in Brain Designs that Amaze Scientists ".   

All too often during discussions about evidence that dinosaurs existed with humans, some owlhoot will exclaim something akin to, "You creationists are stupid! Dinosaurs have been extinct for tens of millions of years, and the word dinosaur  doesn't even appear in the Bible!" Sure, Skippy. Except that the Bible has existed far, far longer than the word dinosaur. The most popular translation, the King James ("Authorized") Version, was first released to the public in 1611, and Richard Owen didn't come up with the word until 1841 or 1842 (sources disagree on the exact year). For that matter, biblical descriptions of behemoth, leviathan , and possibly the winged fiery serpent  were dismissed by commentators because 'tweren't none around at commentary time. You savvy? Actually, discoveries of dinosaur bones and fossils actually helped clear up some passages in the Bible that were baffling before. Modified segment of " Carta marina " by Ol
