Golden Starstuff

Image
A spell back we learned about how secular scientists really have no understanding of how heavy metal starstuff originated . Lack of knowledge does not make them holler "Whoa!" and reign in their speculative tendencies, so we can rock on to all that glitters in fool's gold from secular cosmology and astronomy. There has been some highly scientific guesswork about the origin and dispersal of gold, using adjustments and numerous presuppositions about neutron stars. Yee haw boy howdy, they came up with something! However, like so many other things in cosmic and biological evolution, more questions are raised than their speculations can attempt to answer. One of these is, "Where's all the gold, then?" (They could ask their invisible friends the space aliens, but whenever they ask for asylum hearings, they run off.) Naturally, secularists want nothing to do with the logical conclusion that the universe was created by God, and it was created much more r

Breastfeeding — Because Evolution

Image
by Cowboy Bob Sorensen It has been known for a long time that when a mother breastfeeds her child, something special happens. Bonding is an important part of the process, as is the obvious benefit of providing that unique nutrition. There is something else that is given to the baby that we may not expect. Bottles of pumped breast milk image credit: Wikimedia Commons /  ParentingPatch ( CC by-SA 3.0 ) Young mothers who cannot be stay-at-home moms will often express their milk into special containers so it can be used later. This part of the article will make germaphobes (who actually hinder their immune systems with obsessive cleanliness) cringe: There is also a transfer of bacteria to the child. We need microbes for our digestive processes  and many other functions . The offspring is getting a dose of them from the milk and the nursing process from the get-go. I can imagine someone saying, "This isn't really science yet, it needs something". " It evol

An Ammonite in Amber

Image
There are all sorts of critters fossilized in amber, such as a vampire hell ant , mites , and a falsely-claimed dinosaur tail . Believers in atoms-to-atheist evolution use the scientific principle of Making Things Up™ because they are stymied by these as well as amino acids , and seem to resort to magic when discussing red blood cells found in the stuff. Credit: Wikimedia Commons / Tylwyth Eldar (cropped) ( CC by-SA 4.0 ) Now they are perplexed by the presence of an ammonite. Maybe it was caused by global warming. "How could one of those dudes found in places like 2 Chronicles 27:5 get into amber, Cowboy Bob?" It's a misfortune of naming. The Ammonites troubled Israel, but ammonites (lower case) under discussion here are extinct cephalopods. They were marine creatures. Researchers admit they don't know how an ammonite (and a mix of other creatures) could be found in amber, far away from the deep blue sea. They had some outlandish speculations, but ignor

When Politics Imprisons Science

Image
by Cowboy Bob Sorensen This article seems somewhat appropriate on the anniversary of these here United States declaring independence from England, but it is not about that event. I will let people with more skill deal with those details. Instead, I am going to touch on a few subjects before getting to the main point. You're welcome to ride along and see how this develops. Credit: Pixabay / Prettysleepy2 When listening to podcasts or reading certain materials, I like getting some personal information from the speaker or writer. It makes them seem more relatable. I understand that people like that sort of thing, and that's one reason I put in some of those things in posts and articles. I have a weblog for things that I try to post on once a month to keep it active; things like not caring about the finales of certain popular media events . Another weblog was my first, and that is also infrequent, often for politics and culture . There are items I've posted there bec

Penguins Thwart Cold Climate Evolution Beliefs

Image
Many features of penguins are fascinating, and as a bonus, followers of the Bearded Buddha have no idea how they supposedly evolved . The supposition is that they developed in cold areas and headed out from there. Warm-climate penguin fossils do not support this notion. And they were big ones. Galápagos penguins image credit: Freeimages / Anna Tatti Biblical creationists have plausible models for the dispersion of humans after Babel , but how do we account for the migration of penguins and other critters that are primarily found in cold climates? The idea of "floating forests" may provide an answer. Way back in 1884 an evolutionary botanist, Otto Kunze, proposed the concept of a ‘Floating Forest.’ Creationist Joachim Scheven elaborates on this floating forest as a major pre-Flood ecosystem: massive drifting islands of plant-life characterized by intertwining root systems. . . . Much of the massive amount of coal in the world today originated as floating forests whi

Evolution and Horse Diversity

Image
We know that selective breeding in dogs causes them to be more pleasing to humans to put in shows and such, but this also reduces their fitness . Even without artificial measures, humans are suffering from genetic degradation , which is evidence for recent creation. Now we learn that horses are losing genetic diversity. The spotted stallion in a hilly landscape by Paulus Potter, ca. 1650 Believers in universal common descent evolution have difficulties with alleged horse evolution , and it turns out that our trusty steeds have genetic degradation as well. Some of this is comparatively recent. This, too, points to recent creation. In an attempt to discover the lineage of horses, over one hundred researchers have recently examined the genomes of over two hundred fossil horses and compared them to the genomes of modern horses. Their results indicate that horses have lost a lot of genetic diversity—much of it within the last two hundred years. The average loss among modern breeds

Worldwide Evidences for the Young Earth

Image
Ready to go into the second half of 2019 with my unregistered assault keyboard. While it is useful to learn the details about creation science and origins subjects, sometimes it is helpful to get less technical material. We have seen overviews of evidences for the young earth from biology and geology , now we can get a much larger perspective: globally. Credit: RGBStock / rizeli53 Even using assumptions and calculations from secular scientists, several items yield a much younger earth than they want to present to Darwinists to work their magic . In addition creationists have made predictions for a recent creation that secularists have waved away. Darwin's Flying Monkeys™ swoop down and gibber, "You're lying because evolution, because Wikipedia, because atheism, because propaganda.talk.origins!" Aside from uninformed true believers, secular scientists have attempted to round up rescuing devices that still fail. The evolutionary story requires millions and b
