The Confusing Clownfish

Image
There was a popular animated movie involving a clownfish a spell back, but movies are not a good source of accurate information about nature. Even so, clownfish are kind of cute. We see the typical image of orange and white, but they are found in a variety of colors. The most baffling thing about them is their companionship with sea anemones. Credit: Unsplash / Sebastian Pena Lambarri How can the clownfish get so cozy in the tentacles of the sea anemones? Those things sting their prey, after all, and are related to jellyfish. You might be unpleasantly stung your ownself. Scientists think that the slime coat (mucus) on this fish makes it chemically invisible to the anemone, but there may be other factors involved as well. ( Fish need their slime coats , but this dude's is special, I reckon.) They make their homes around anemones. Yes, you can keep both in home aquariums — if you know what you're doing. To preserve the species, clownfish have the organs of both males and

Amino Acids in Amber?

Image
In their efforts to convince people about universal common ancestor evolution, its proponents continue to use circular reasoning and incomplete research. As see in other posts, amber is a mighty fine for preserving things. Amino acids have been discovered in it. Credit: Morguefile / GaborfromHungary Although amber preserves things exceptionally well, it is not perfect. Especially over millions of Darwin years. Proteins can deteriorate even there. Cosmic rays, temperature variations and other aspects of nature don't help matters. Using the same bad logic that was applied to dinosaur proteins , a test involving proteins and amber was run and then extrapolated over a huge amount of time. Try as they might to get away from the truth, reason and evidence support recent creation. If this doesn’t take the cake for soft tissue preservation: intact amino acids in amber said to be 100 million years old! Even this one evoked a ‘wow’ response from Jon Tennant at the PLoS Paleonto

Puzzling Planation Pediments and the Genesis Flood

Image
Secular geologists are unable to explain planation surfaces according to their uniformitarian beliefs. These are found at the tops of mountains and such, and pediments are at ground level. They are caused by erosion, are very flat, and gradually slope down from a mountain toward a valley. Lake Mead pediment image credit USGS Pediments are similar to alluvial fans , and caused some confusion for geologists long ago. Planation surfaces, pediments, and other landforms are not being formed today. Some pediments are in areas that are low in erosion, so they have kept their shapes. If we plug the observed data into creation science Genesis Flood models, ye ha boy howdy, we see that they were formed by massive water runoff. The uniformitarian ‘slow and gradual’ belief has great difficulty accounting for many of the features on the earth’s surface, called landforms. These can, however, be explained by Flood runoff. Landforms can be divided into two main types, those shaped during the

Field Mustard Plants and False Evolution Claims

Image
There is a plant known as Brassica rapa , but it has subspecies that have more familiar names including field mustard. Botanists decided to do some experimenting on the field mustard and pollination, and commenced to not only violating evolutionary dogma, but affirming a creation science biological model. Credit: Wikimedia Commons / TeunSpaans ( CC by-SA 3.0 ) The botanists assumed evolution to prove evolution (circular reasoning), but also made untrue statements. There was no evidence of evolution, just small modifications. Magical mystical "environmental pressures" were assumed as well. However, the continuous environmental tracking model that you have been reading about here has been demonstrated in research and is more scientific than Darwinian selectionism. More specifically, instead of external influences, our Creator used engineering principles and designed living things to quickly adapt. A recent study on a plant in the mustard family ( Brassica Rapa ) pr

Surface Tension and your Lungs

Image
Take a deep breath. Doing that is a voluntary action, but most of our breathing happens involuntarily — which is a good thing, otherwise we would have to focus on that and never sleep. The Master Engineer designed the complex actions of our lungs to keep us going. Credit: Pixabay / toubibe There are many factors in play that could not have come together through evolutionary processes. While water in the lungs causes drowning, we do have water in there by design. It actually helps the complicated breathing and oxygenation process through surface tension . However, sometimes the surface tension is reduced by cells at certain times as needed. For our lungs to expand and contract during breathing, they must somehow be attached to our chest cavity and diaphragm yet slip effortlessly against these surfaces. This is accomplished by a thin layer of watery liquid called pleural fluid between the lungs’ outer surface and the chest cavity lining. Pleural fluid serves both as a lubricant a

More Regarding Our Young Solar System

Naturalists are riding the cosmic cougar and are afraid to jump off. Like their late high priest Stephen Hawking , they are committed to the Big Bang and an ancient cosmos even though the evidence supports recent creation. So they keep on a-riding that false paradigm. Europa water vapor plumes Credits: NASA / ESA / W. Sparks (STScI) / USGS Astrogeology Science Center (Usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) News includes a whole passel of widely scattered evidence that "should not" be there according to secular beliefs, but fit right well with biblical creation.

Geology and the Young Earth

Image
In discussion about the age of the earth, people generally assume that this here planet of ours is plenty old, somewhere around four to five billion years. How do we know? Because scientists said so. How do they  know? Through picking data they like and rejecting those that are incompatible with the deep time that Darwin requires. Credit: freestocks.org / Joanna Malinowska Secular scientists generally adhere to uniformitarianism (slow and gradual processes over a millions or billions of years), and reject evidence for the Genesis Flood. There are many evidences for the young earth that can be seen perusing this site alone, and these link to other sites with a wagon train-load of material on this subject as well as others affirming recent creation. We'll keep it simple today with an overview of four important evidence from geology for the young earth and the global Flood. Most people believe rock layers require millions of years to form. This assumption has been taught as f
