Icefish, Creation, and Evolution

Image
A few years ago, we read about how the Antarctic icefish were equipped by their creator to survive in those extremely cold temperatures down yonder. That article was brief and simple , but now we are going to get into more detail and raise some questions for both Darwinists and creationists. Credit: Wikimedia Commons / Marrabbio2 Some icefish have been referred to as "bloodless", which is somewhat misleading. Adults do not have hemoglobin and red blood cells, but there is something working like blood — or antifreeze. Instead of appearing to be a simple adaptation or variation, they seem to have undergone a full rebuild. Evolutionists are stymied and cannot give a plausible explanation for their existence. Creationists have some speculations that include genetic drift and adaptations (supported by family variations), and are more reasonable that what evolutionists offer. Icefish are the only vertebrates that lack red blood cells and hemoglobin as adults. In vertebrate

Further Dark Matter Weaseling

Image
When materialism and evolutionary thinking bushwhack science, observed facts are lassoed, tied, and branded for the secularism brand. That is, the narrative drives the evidence instead of the other way around. We see this in stories about human evolution , our wonderful brains , and other areas. Of course, the deep time story must  control cosmology. Dark matter  is a rescuing device.

We recently saw how inflation  and the multiverse  are efforts to save the Big Bang, and another is dark matter.  (Dark energy is occasionally invoked as well.) This stuff has never been observed, only inferred, and that because Big Bang speculations need it to keep their conjecture together and the money coming in

Dinosaurs and Whopper Sands

Imagine if you will that you are an evolutionary paleontologist. You have your ideological ponies put into your worldview corral and go about doing Darwinist business. Then your beliefs are threatened by discoveries that just should not be. Perhaps you fall back on the Stuff Happens Law to explain those dinosaur and other fossils. Phytosaur art at Kings Park Perth image credit: Wikimedia / Moondyne  ( CC by-SA 3.0 ) Uniformitarian geologists and paleontologists are frequently confronted by evidence they cannot explain. Bone fragments attributed to a land-dwelling dinosaur were found way, way out in the North Sea. Well, that's a puzzler! Sand and mud is expected to be found near rivers, but the Whopper Sand in deep-sea sediments of the Gulf of Mexico further complicates the puzzle. Those crocodile-like phytosaurs managed to be found in marine sediments. The pieces of the puzzle are put in place with a proper understanding of Genesis Flood models. Tremendous amounts of wat

Ear Bones and Deficient Evolutionary Ideas

Image
Sometimes I use a silly euphemism for giving serious thought to something by saying people may need to use their think bones. Did you know that we have bones in our ears? Of course you did, but most of us do not ponder them very often unless there is a medical issue. Some purveyors of atoms-to-audiologist evolution have the notion that the middle ear bones of mammals evolved from reptiles. Credit: National Science Foundation / Zina Deretsky (Usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) This concept of a relationship between mammal ear bones and some bones in reptile jaws is disputed by other evolutionists. It is actually quite old, long before the science of genetics was initiated by Gregor Mendel (peas be upon him). Not only does this notion have problems when confronted with genetics, but there are many questions of logistics that evolutionists cannot answer. That is because mammals and reptiles were created separately. Some evolutionists claim that mammals evolved fro

Those Ever-Changing Evolutionary Whims

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen A few weeks back, I escorted my prospector friend Stormie Waters into town for supplies. I forgot it was payday at the Darwin Ranch. All the hitching posts were taken outside the saloon, so they hired themselves an effete horse-holder for the evening. Original Image: Man Interrupted at His Writing / Gerrit Dou, 1635 This snide tinhorn (Darwin's equivalent of Comical Ali ) had taken exception to my oft-used remarks about "the ever-changing whims of secular science interpretations", and he told me so. He claimed that I was misrepresenting "reality" and science is secular, not "religious" or "creationist", and it got Americans to the moon fifty years ago. Someone is exhibiting his lack of logic.* T he attempt to exclude Christians from science is a bigoted lie (I am blunt because he stalks creationist sites and knows our material). The foundations of modern science were established mostly by Bible-believing Chri

Birds Making their Songs

Image
In Greek mythology, Syrinx the nymph was escaping Pan and ran to the edge of the river. She asked the river nymphs to help her escape, and they changed her into water reeds. When Pan blew across them, they made a melodic sound so he cut them and made a panpipe (pan flute). Interestingly, the apparatus in birds that makes their song is called a syrinx. Clamorous Reed-Warbler image credit: CSIRO /  John Manger  ( CC by 3.0 ) (Usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Researchers wanted to know how things work when birds to their songs — especially how they can do more than one sound at the same time. Evolutionary explanations failed, and there is no sign of a syrinx in dinosaurs or other critters. That's not difficult to understand if you drop the universal common ancestor evolution idea and admit that they are the product of special creation by the Master Engineer. What makes the unique sounds of birds is a structure called the syrinx, found at a point where the tr

Further Difficulties in Human Evolution

Image
We have seen many instances of fake news and bad science in minerals-to-monkey evolution. I reckon that such alleged evidences of evolution among various critters is to help folks accept the current versions of Papa Darwin's evolution of man speculations. Evolutionists keep having problems with that, however. Le Moustier Neanderthals, AMNH /  Charles R. Knight , 1920 For a long time, Neanderthals, Denisovans, and others were considered slightly more than animals that were in the process of evolving into modern humans. The fact that they interbred with undisputed humans and other factors show that they were indeed fully human. There are many bones and such used by anthropologists and paleontologists in their efforts to construct the evolutionary parade and deny the truth of their creation. However, evolutionists continue to have serious problems with what they find. The problem is, the more fossils that are unearthed, the more problems that arise against the consensus theor
