Piltdown Superman

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen The title brings to mind a roomful of intellectuals discussing Kant, Hegel, Descartes, Voltaire, and arguing until they're blue in their mouths. While this article deals with philosophy, it is not highfalutin, impractical stuff. It's because I have learned some important things and want to pass them along, and they're very useful for reasoning. Also, I hope the programming on this site is going to deliver on its "promises" and doesn't distract from the content. Made at RedKid.net , with the text on concrete done using Paint.NET Don't Let the Big Word Bother You People who have read my material before probably know that I get to gnawing on that worldviews bone after a hearty helping of presupposition, as in presuppositional apologetics (a.k.a. transcendental apologetics ) . That is, everyone has a worldview, which is just as it seems: a way of looking at the world, our experiences, beliefs, assumptions, and so on. Presup

Shawn Funk had an interesting day on March 21, 2011 while working for Suncor Energy in Alberta, Canada. Excavation work had to be done (he's a miner, they do that kind of thing). Bet he didn't expect to make a bit of history by finding what is considered the best-preserved nodosaur (a type of armored dinosaur) fossil.  Suncor nodosaur fossil photo credit: Wikimedia Commons / Machairo / CC BY-SA 4.0 Despite failed, hoary tales of Darwinists and old Earth geologists (such as dying, getting swept out to sea, then becoming preserved instead of scavenger chow), this critter had evidence to present supporting the Genesis Flood and a young Earth. Sure, they wouldn't be so surprised to find a marine creature in that area, but a land dweller? That's the first clue that something unusual happened. Preserved skin remnants were found as well. The whole thing is well-preserved and is expected to yield a whole passel of information, and it would be mighty helpful if the scien

Yes, I flinch when a bee buzzes too closely to my head, since I've been stung before and it startles me. There was that hornet the other day that spooked me, but I won't apologize because those things hurt. Stings I've received were not by those insects that most people probably think of when hearing the word bee , that's the one that makes honey. The only times I was stung by honey bees happened when I was a tyke, and asked for it. Honey bees are a stumbling block for baryons-to-beekeeper evolution that give silent testimony to creation.

Plants need bees, and bees need plants — and we need bees to keep a big part of our food supply going. The honey they make is also very beneficial for us . Then there's the very intricate system of the hive, with the scouting, c

Unfortunately, creationists see well-meaning people offer an "argument" along the lines of, "If humans evolved from apes, why are there still apes?" Cringeworthy. On more than one occasion, I've tried to gently correct the person making the comment. It is actually a straw man argument (probably not deliberate) that misrepresents the universal common ancestor evolutionary view that humans and apes evolved separately from a common ancestor. That kind of comment also shows ignorance of their beliefs. Anti-creationists choose to misrepresent, and have little knowledge of, biblical creationist teachings, but we do not want to be like them. Credit: Morguefile / hotblack Let's step back a bit and cut the uninformed some slack. I can see where they get the ideas, since there was a putative ape- like common ancestor for us and them. Add in the survival of the fittest mythology where the strong survive and pass along their superior genes while the weak die ou

If you missed Part 1, you can find that here . Time and again, we've seen how evolutionary assumptions actually hinder science. Such assumptions also have hindered medical science as well, such as the conflated claim that antibiotic resistance is the result of evolution . The entire paradigm of biology needs to be retooled with an engineering mindset. After all, things that we build are often complex by nature, having many parts or subsystems working together for the whole. Many give pantheistic praise to "nature" and "evolution" as if they had volition and creative powers. Credit: Pixabay / ractapopulous Proponents of bacteria-to-biochemist evolution rely on time, chance, mutations, and so forth. To figure out how something works or to solve a medical problem, they are working at a disadvantage from the beginning. Creationary scientists and medical doctors can take an engineering paradigm. They can see that, like things we build, our Creator has design

The expression blinded by science seems more popular in the UK than in the United States (I only know of it from the Thomas Dolby Song), but it seems to be a way of baffling people with big words. Apparently this is most effective when discussing science subjects with non-scientists. Sort of like, "Sometimes I use words I don't understand so I can sound much more photosynthesis ". Also useful when using the complex scientific principle of Making Things Up™. Credit: Warpaintcobra at FreeDigitalPhotos.net A slice of evolutionary dogma tells us that everything evolved in the sea, a bunch of critters moved to dry land, and some went back to the sea. There is no evidence for this except in Darwinoid mythology, but not in science. (Seems to be yet another wild-eyed attempt to deny the truth of creation, don't you think?) Some of those apparently dissatisfied living a dry life were mosasaurs . Using a heap of circular reasoning, blinding-by-science-jargon, unsupport

Things were kind of quiet for a spell at The Question Evolution Project . The hands at the Darwin Ranch left their digs at Deception Pass and trekked over to Defiance Arroyo, where they did some sacrifices to Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god. Evolution is pagan, after all, so that's fitting for them. This was done to drive biblical creationists away, but President Trump let me work in the bowling alley under the White House for a marathon posting and scheduling excursion. Ever try to write in a bowling alley? Actually, curses and such have no effect on Bible-believing Christians , so I stayed put. Credit: Pixabay / ColiN00B Evolutionists are getting on the prod because things they thought would fortify their claims end up refuting them, and biblical creationists are seeing how failed evidence "evidence" actually supports special creation. One of the most frequent sources of evolutionary agitation is DNA. Some Darwinoids occasionally claim that DNA supports evolu
