Piltdown Superman

Someone may be thinking, "Oh, no, this is some hardcore sciencey stuff". No need to run off. While polymers are extremely important and complicated, we are not going to be saddling up for a difficult ride. This will be rather basic, and some of the information may be a bit surprising to you like it was to me. Bi-component fibres are produced from two different polymers which, when extruded together, can produce new fibres with new features.

"Parts, Cowboy Bob." Yeah, that's it. Many parts.  Polymers are built from molecules called  monomers, and those monomers are made into polymer chains of sometimes thousands of repeating units. You've heard of proteins? They are polymers made from amino acids. We're loaded with polymers. There are many polymers in n

As we have noticed on this site alone many times, peer review is not a guarantee of truth or even accuracy. In a like manner, scientific consensus is not a guarantee of truth or accuracy, either. Browbeating consensus skeptic is not conducive to the scientific process. Labeling someone as a "science denier" is a childish way to avoid examining legitimate objections to majority opinion, you savvy? The coming ice age — I mean, global warming — I mean, global climate change — has deep political motivations, including globalism and taxation to force people into submission. It also is based on materialistic evolutionary beliefs including deep time and that there is no sovereign God who is in control. Climate change is definitely not an established fact, old son. People indulge in groupthink and listen to yahoos like Bill Nye the Stalinist Guy (who believes in throwing "climate change dissenters" in jail ) to support their beliefs. Climate change enthusiasts wave away

By insisting on deep time and naturalism, and by denying special creation, proponents of atoms-to-astronomer evolution have developed many problems for their paradigms. One that should stop them in their tracks at the onset is the faint young sun paradox . (It is a paradox because it does not fit their belief system.) Essentially, way back yonder, billions of Darwin years ago, the earth would have been too cold after the after the supposed Hadean time (think Hades , as in, "Hotter than the hubs of") to let life evolve because the sun was not strong enough to provide ample warmth.  Artist's impression of the Hadean Eon, Tim Bertelink , 2016 / Wikimedia Commons ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) Since these owlhoots dug themselves into a hole about the age of the earth and evolution, they conjured up some excuses. Two of these are the " solar belch " speculation, as well as the solar flares guesswork. Now they have a new horse in the excuse corral. An attempt to marry up

Purveyors of the universal common descent idea should know their history. Papa Darwin ran his version of evolution up the flagpole even though he admitted the paucity of fossil evidence, and people saluted it anyway. He, and his subsequent followers, were hoping that evidence would be forthcoming. If you check your Charles Darwin Club Secret Decoder Ring™, you'll see that this is blind faith and not science, pilgrim. Evolutionists have a long history of trouble with moths, such as the fake news regarding the peppered moth . Continuing the tradition of wishful thinking, they studied some fossilized moths and hoped they would have some kind of evidence for their belief system. What they obtained was evidence that moths have always been moths, even after alleged millions of years. I reckon moths could be considered living fossils . With the continuing development of more precise microscopy (and some fascinating equipment), new moth fossils were analyzed. Scientists were able to d

Although archaeologists and geneticists tend to get along like farmers and cattle barons in the Old West, there are times when their work can have an uneasy truce. There was an ancient group known by an unflattering name. Do the Beaker  people ring a bell? Actually, it's worse: Bell Beaker.  Although they migrated and did some conquering along the way (and displaced 90 percent of the Britons), they are known for their pottery . While pottery is important to archaeologists, it also raises questions about travel, cultural assimilation, borrowing styles, trade, and so on. Credit: Wikimedia Commons /  Thomas Ihle  ( CC BY-SA 3.0 ) Was there only one Beaker culture that did all that traveling and raising hob? There are examples of their pottery in diverse areas, and genetic research seems to support that there were two Beaker groups. While the secular study plugged in the standard ages of man from evolutionary to prop up the deep-time narrative, they did mine some important infor

We have seen the intricacies of the bee hive , and that the hexagon is the optimal shape for their building purposes.  Let's rein in a moment before proceeding. Ever stop to ponder how scientists know so much about bees and their behavior? Maybe they put tracking sensors on them — oh, wait. They do that . Gotta have steadier hands than I have to place those things a few thousand times. Looks like photo editing, but this honeybee really does have a sensor, like thousands of his pals. Credit: CSIRO  ( CC BY 3.0 ) (Usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) That image is real, this one with a solar panel on a hornet is good photo editing.  Although the link and picture about the sensors are bonuses to the main part, they do help illustrate how honeybees are complex critters. Honeybees are not sweet on evolution, as they have specified complexity. Not only in their structure, but in their behavior as well: they travel huge distances to make they honey, build the hi

It may come as a shock to some people in postmodern Western cultures, but males and females are indeed different. Most people have known this for millennia. (This cowboy is glad for the differences. Occasionally sad, but mostly glad.) Unfortunately, there are logic and science deniers who not only enable those who are mentally ill, but make a profit with " gender reassignment " surgeries and such. Mostly made at Break Your Own News God made two sexes (Gen. 1:27, Mark 10:6). That's it. His plan for marriage was one man and one woman to be joined for life. Our sex is determined before  birth through genetic and epigenetic activities, chromosomes and stuff that are far too difficult for evolutionists to explain. When we fill out medical forms, the checkbox for your sex is not simply a matter of statistics, but for medical purposes; men and women react to medications differently, for example. Sleep cycles, motor skills, and other differences are clearly evidence, despi
