Global Warming and Bird Habitats?

Image
It is indeed unfortunate that logical thinking skills are not taught very much nowadays, as a great deal of bad information and even deceptions could be challenged by the public. Fallacies abound in politics, evolutionary science, atheism — and a passel of deception in global climate change propaganda. Credit: US National Park Service (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) The global warming hysteria is a political idea that is used to manipulate people through fear and intimidation , but much of the data is fundamentally flawed. In fact, the concept is rooted in atheistic old Earth evolutionary ideas , denying that God is the Creator and he is still God.  Ask them if we only have twelve (or ten) years to live and nothing can be done about it, why should we pay money to leftists?  Two examples of how activists used flawed information and even contradicted themselves. They got away with getting what they wanted, and you can see an example of what happens when peo

Evolution Experiment on Mimicry is in Bad Taste

Image
Mimicry is often very useful, such as when someone pretends to be like John Wayne when he is really the unimpressive town character. This is by calculated planning, however. In nature, mimicry happens for the benefit of some critters. Darwin's acolytes cannot explain this because they would need to invoke teleology (purpose). Evolution is supposed to be without plan or design.

Sometimes their predators find them mighty tasty, but when they hang around with monarchs, they are more likely to be left alone. They look like the nasty-flavored monarch, you see. However, when away from monarchs, they also taste dreadful. And give off an odor that puts off predators. Researchers commenced to doing the usual circular reasoning by assuming evolution to prove evolution. They had a kind of taste test, but it on

Grow Grow Godzilla!

Mayhaps I should set up a game show where scientists and other Darwinoids trot out their speculations, then everyone in the audience can shout, " That. Is. Not. Evolution!"  Sure, and we could start with the peppered moth fiasco. Then we could move on to the Elvis of the monsters, Godzilla! Ceratosaurus image credit: FreeDigitalPhotos.net / Warpaintcobra "No, that's king of the monsters, Cowboy Bob! Elvis was the king of rock and roll." Oh, right. I got confused in my enthusiasm and his monster hits. Thank you, thank you very much. There is speculation that Godzilla was made to be a kind of  Ceratosaurus , but that is a mite difficult to justify this this 1954 daikaiju was named "Gojira", merging Japanese words for gorilla and whale. ("Godzilla" is an English transliteration of Gojira   that was given by Tohu studios .) It is proper to examine cinematography, culture, and history regarding Godzilla and call it evolution. Unfortu

Hybridization and the Tree of Life

Image
As any well-indoctrinated schoolchild can tell you Charles Darwin envisioned a tree of life where life evolved from the simple to the complex, with many branches. Hybridization is problematic for evolutionists, and the branches would wind up fusing back together. Otero Tupac working with orchids Credit: CSIRO / Carl Davies  ( CC by 3.0 ) (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Informed creationists do not believe in the "fixity of species". Not only do we accept hybridization and speciation, but they also support biblical creation science. The Master Engineer designed organisms to adapt, and sometimes hybridization is a way they can survive.  Carl Linnaeus established modern taxonomy and saw that new species could arise through hybridization. William Herbert also saw that the created kinds  referred to in Genesis can diversify. Note that the biblical kinds are considered to be above the species level, more closely aligned with the family  classification.

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
