Piltdown Superman

Watchers of the skies have some rather sophisticated equipment, and they detected 99942 asteroid Apophis in 2004. This bad boy is named after the Egyptian deity of chaos and darkness , an enemy of the sun god Ra. Fearmongers are saying that it fits Bible prophesy and will strike Earth. Credit: NASA / JPL-Caltech The chances of impacting our blue marble in 2029 were small at first, and NASA ruled it out later on. (There are uncertainties in tracking these distant things.) Some people may be able to see it as it makes its pass then, and the chance of an impact in 2036 are also ruled out . When you have someone saying that everyone else is wrong and he is the one to believe, recalculate with his standards, scientists ignored him. Still, people want to sell books. We saw that before with previous predictions and false prophesies involving blood moons, global warming, CERN , end-of-the-world date setting (biblical numerology), and so on, and books did indeed sell. People like the

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen Riders for the Darwin brand are usually committed to and presuppose naturalism , the belief that natural laws and processes are the only things that exist, as their foundation. Naturalism is essentially an atheistic view, so this is something with which we must contend on Question Evolution Day. Original image before modification from RGBStock / Dave Dyet QED is an existential threat to those who try to suppress intellectual and academic freedoms, as well as freedoms of speech and thought. Militant Darwinists who are riding herd do not tolerate their folks expressing doubt about evolution. Some who are safely established have done so , but they still imperil their careers and reputations in the secular science industry and academic institutions. Who will they please (John 12:43), and at what cost (Mark 8:36)? Although there are secular scientists who have not heard of creation science and are taught to believe that evolution is the only possible

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen While we want to reach people with honest inquiries and remove stumbling blocks on Question Evolution Day , those of us who spend any amount of time discussing biblical creation science online encounter furious atheopaths (see atheopath definition in footnote 1, here ) and militant Darwinists. While pretending to be harbingers of science and reason, they frequently display little knowledge of either. Critics of Christianity, the Bible, biblical creation, and so on use social media when they seek to slap leather with us. They know that God exists (Romans 1:18-23. Psalm 14:1, Proverbs 1:7) and presuppose philosophical naturalism. I fully believe that they are intent on validating their rebellion against God and biblical authority (Job 40:8). If someone holds a position that they dislike, the positions are misrepresented; the person is called an idiot and a liar, but they only succeed in displaying their own corruption . As I have said many times, some tinho

We have probably seen lichens in many places in various forms, but tend to pay them no nevermind. Some resemble houseplants, but they are far more complex and have baffled scientists for many years. They are actually different organisms that comprise individual entities. Wolf lichen image credit: Wikimedia Commons / Jason Hollinger ( CC by-SA 3.0 ) In the television show Stargate SG-1 , there was a complicated storyline involving Symbiotes , creatures that had humans as hosts but also gave them strength and healing. However, these things were wicked and took over the hosts' personalities. This is similar to a view that the symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae consisted of the fungus dominating the algae. This is not the case. Despite the view of Darwin and his followers that organisms competed, there are many living things in symbiotic relationships — all the way to the beneficial microorganisms living on and in each of us. Lichens not only show symbiosis, but th

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen This is not a review of Star Wars -related entertainment, although I did like the first three movies that were released (Episodes 4, 5, 6) somewhat. However, an evolutionist took a notion to use an almost fanatical devotion to Darwin and commence to asserting that The Child ("Baby Yoda") figures into human evolution. Credit: Pixabay / K. Some time ago, we looked at the science of cuteness and how evolutionists have tried to make it seem that we evolved to respond to cute things. We like babies. Near the first of the year, stores are filled with calendars, and you can expect to see some of baby animals. Someone offers to show pictures of their children or grandchildren, and people (usually the women folk) make ooh and aww noises over them. I find other ways to be occupied. From my observations i t seems that males are less inclined to involve themselves in the adoration of infants. All of this is supposedly based on an evolutionary urge to r

Many advances have been made in the development of AI, and such non-human intelligence is usually based on the particles-to-programmer worldviews of the designers. They even tie evolution into ethics (see " Artificial Intelligence and Evolving Morality "). It is possible to have AI that is, well, disturbing (see " Artificial Psychotic Intelligence "). Despite the obvious possibilities of disaster, some owlhoots want to design a church based on artificial intelligence. Credit: Pixabay / Gerd Altmann Although science fiction stories have been written about people with good intentions making a powerful intelligence for the good of humanity, disaster usually ensues. Have you ever heard the old Emerson, Lake and Palmer song, " Karn Evil 9, Third Impression "? It involves a futuristic war and a computer. At the end, the man says that he is all there is. The computer argues with him, "I let you live". He objects, "But I gave you life!" T

Far too often, we see research that is interesting and moving along nicely that is tainted by homage to Darwin., such as this one . There are times when researchers saddle up and simply do their jobs. Like we saw in the futile effort to link retroviruses in koalas to human evolution , sometimes they try to compare living creatures with what may have happened in the past. What about critters with long necks? Credit: Clker clipart A characteristic of giraffes is their extended necks, but so did many sauropod dinosaurs. The Master Engineer designed giraffes with tremendous detail to raise and lower their heads for eating, drinking, and other things. Could certain dinosaurs (which were much larger and taller) had similar characteristics? It is a distinct possibility. What do giraffes and sauropods have in common? A new paper shows how you can seek answers without Darwin’s help. From an evolutionary perspective, sauropods (dinosaurs) and giraffes have almost nothing in common exce
