Further Analysis of H. Naledi, and Refuting an Anti-Creationist

Image
Edited 11-20-2015 A few weeks ago, I posted a link to an article on Homo naledi that had some good information . At that time, the Institute for Creation Research had a short response , and Creation Ministries International had one as well. EDIT: A more in-depth article from CMI can be found here .  Since then, ICR has published three articles (don't fret yourself, they're not huge or overly technical) that are worth your time. The research that muck-to-machinist evolutionists are passing off should have real scientists embarrassed, especially since the deceptive nature and shoddy work are blatantly obvious. Creationists have ideas that are somewhat differing from each other, which is not surprising given the nature of the disjointed information that the evolutionists published. But then, scientists do that; creationists do not need to be in lockstep . Evolutionists disagree on the classifications of our alleged human ancestors . You tell 'em, Captain Hindsight!

Evolutionists Go Nuts Over Primordial Soup

Image
Some advocates of virus-to-virologist evolution try to distance themselves from origin of life problems by claiming that abiogenesis has nothing to do with evolution. People who have two or more brain cells to rub together can easily tell that this is false. If you study on it, you'll see that not only is the origin of life prominent in textbooks, documentaries ( just ask David Attenborough ), NASA , and so forth that deal with evolution, but you can't have anything evolve if there is nothing living. That means the origin of life is important to evolutionism. Savvy? Image by Rudi Williams , American Forces Press Service, 2002 Although the chances of one cell evolving by chance are about one in forget it, a few cling to the idea, and others put the problem way up in the nothingmuch of deep space. Some troublemaker at the Darwin Ranch dropped a string of firecrackers in the Origin of Life Corral, and all the horses bolted in different directions. Wild ideas about pansper

Deceptive Paleontology Reporting

People are a mite confused about the word fossil,  seeing as how it's used to mean old stuff as well as organisms that are permineralized (organic material is replaced by minerals) or petrified  (turned to stone). I could call my mother-in-law a "fossil", but people would know it would be a disrespectful term about her old age, and they would have sense enough to know that she doesn't fit any scientific use of the word fossil.  When it comes to old dead things called fossils, sometimes scientists as well as us reg'lar folk do it. Ian Juby mentioned the shilly-shallying over that word in this video clip, starting at the 20 minute 13 second mark . Hadrosaur fossil. The 2010 article referred to both  fossil  and  bones. Image credit: Mark E. Jacobsen , Bureau of Land Management Believers in particle-to-parasaurolophus evolution don't cotton to having the news of soft tissues and actual bones being found because those facts refute their long-age presupposi

Apes, Walking, and Evolution

Image
Humans were built with a very efficient system for walking upright and keeping balance. The rib cage, pelvis, arm swing, muscles, bones, all of those things work together to keep us going and not falling. Walking changes when you're packing a firearm because it changes your gait and arm swing. For that matter, cowboy boots make me walk differently than my loafers. If you've a mind to, pay attention to your walking (or get someone else to do it so you can watch) when wearing different shoes. The point is that our system is very precise. People with the viewpoint that ancestors of humans and apes swung down from the trees way back when are all fired determined to think that humans are really not so special, not created by God, but by chance and things. Chimpanzees and gorillas are built radically differently than humans, and bipedal locomotion is difficult for them, but moving on all fours is efficient. (One way to usually tell when someone is in a gorilla costume is that

Science Stoppers, Real Science Radio, and Professor Andy McIntosh

Image
Thinking people may find this hard to believe, but there are scum-to-skeptic evolutionists who insist that Bible-believing scientists are not really scientists despite their credentials. (Reminds me of that bumper sticker I used to see here in the US, "If it ain't country, it ain't music!" In their case, "If it ain't naturalism, it ain't science!") Some of this is also related to the claim that creation science is a "science stopper" because creationists believe that "God did it", and do not investigate further. Not hardly! Creationists give God the glory, but don't stop, they want to know how God designed things to work. Ironically, "Evolution did it™" is the real science stopper. Coal, diamonds, fossils, other things were not tested for carbon-14 because they "knew" there was none in those items; they were too old. It was found in many things after reluctant testing. Scientists "knew" th

The Mourning Dove and the Ghost Army

Image
Nothing supernatural here, but the Ghost Army of World War 2 and the "ghosts" of hauntings have one thing in common: both are fake. Well, the Ghost Army was kind of real, in that it was a group of soldiers setting up a massive deception on a German Panzer division. Mourning Dove / lovetheson / FreeImages Have you heard the expression, "The best defense is a good offense"? If you study on it a bit, you'll see that a related ploy is also effective, to get your superior opponent to fear you. Amazingly, the pigeon-related mourning dove and the Ghost Army have something in common, but the bird was given its technique by our Creator — a technique that bacteria-to-bird evolution could not possibly explain. Sometimes the best defense is an offense, even when the “offense” is really a bold bluff. This tactic is valued in wartime, and when God uses this principle He deserves our appreciation. America’s top-secret World War II “Ghost Army” used cleverness and

Solar System Still Recalcitrant on Deep-Time

Image
Reading science news about space exploration, we keep seeing how scientists are amazed, baffled, puzzled, and so on about what has been discovered. There's a great deal of amazement about Pluto as well. The solar system does not appear as old as it "should". If they'd study on it a mite and drop their fundamentally flawed cosmic evolution paradigm, they'd realize that the solar system was created, and that it is much younger than they want to admit. I reckon the items below add insult to the injury from the failure of the latest nebular hypothesis model .

Not So Many Dinosaurs to Fit On Noah's Ark

Image
We know the routine. Some sneering sidewinder says, "Ain't no way Moses got all them animals onto the Ark, especially dinosaurs. Too big!" Typically, these people haven't bothered to do their homework, they just have their opinions to express (prejudicial conjecture and begging the question). Everyone knows that dinosaurs fit through the door because they were heavily greased first, then stored in the overhead luggage compartments. " Dinos 1 " by Janusz Michalczuk / FreeImages Creationists have explained about dinosaurs (and the other critters) on the Ark many times. There is something else to consider: there weren't as many as people thought. A fossil would be found, maybe some bones, and then it would be classified. But it turns out that several fossils variations: scientists realized that they belonged to the same species at different stages of development. So, how did all of those dinosaurs fit on the Ark? As it turns out, the answer is, ‘M

Pamukkale's Travertine Terraces

Image
In southwestern Turkey, near the ruins of Hierapolis, is a site that looks mighty cold. Frozen waterfalls, lots of white stuff, called the "Cotton Castle" — but plenty warm because of the hot springs. That white stuff is travertine, formed by the minerals in the water. People have visited this place called Pamukkale for the mineral waters over thousands of years, and it is a World Heritage Site according to UNESCO. That means you can visit the ancient pagan relic and swim in the "sacred" waters. I don't give pagan stuff no nevermind, it might be fun. Image credit: Pamukkale / LoggaWiggler / Pixabay Using uniformitarian assumptions (current processes are what have always happened over many years), geologists say that Cotton Castle was built up over thousands of years. But we've seen how uniformitarian assumptions have failed to explain the data many times, and biblical creationist models using the Genesis Flood have explained data far better. Once a

Punishing Deniers of Global Climate Change

Image
A few decades ago, the big scare from climate experts was of a coming ice age. Then they changed their tune to the heavily politicized and alarmist "global warming". Although there is  a form of global warming , it is not  anthropogenic, and it is insignificant for over fifteen years . But to keep the pseudoscience and grand money rolling in, the variations on the theme have moved to "global climate change". Since scientific evidence has failed the long-age, evolution-based viewpoint on climate change, the sidewinders promoting it have used emotional appeals, such as labeling those of us who disagree with the hysterics as "science deniers". (Some are so radical, they want to save the planet by exterminating huge numbers of humans !) The most outrageous label was to compare climate change deniers with Nazis . These ad hominem  attacks in their propaganda are signs of desperation. A few years ago, Heidi Cullen of "The Weather Channel" wanted
