Believers in deep time are constantly denying facts as well as principles of science, giving them false confirmation of their biases. For example, despite all the dinosaur soft tissues and other remnants , the discovery of dinosaur DNA , and more, materialists have a "Whaddya know, that stuff does  last millions of years!" approach. The same thing is happening with the "oldest" biological pigments. Credit: Pexels /  Sharon McCutcheon  We've seen science denial (after all, the narrative trumps observed evidence) in the colors of dinosaurs and in dinosaur eggs . While this post is not about dinosaurs, these examples show how secularists clutch their pearls and deny inconvenient facts. It is no surprise that they believe the impossible about other biological pigments (perhaps they studied under Joe Biden at the University of Pennsylvania or something). Cyanobacteria were apparently the culprits that led to colors extracted from marine black shale, but the

When riding the trails of social media, it is not surprising to find some mighty strange ideas about COVID-19. An actor thinks that Earth is punishing us for our environmental crimes. Idris Elba is promoting a pagan view of Earth as a living thing , which has grown in popularity even in evolutionary circles (see " More Gaia Paganism in Evolution "). Earth is not an entity, old son. Earth image from Clker Clipart blended with COVID-19 image from the CDC It is interesting that Elba is "race conscious" by stating the obvious: black people can get the virus . His worldview probably excludes the biblical fact that there are no races . Ethnic groups, sure. But we're all the same race. It is amazing to this child that people foolishly look to uninformed but highly opinionated celebrities for medical and political advice. Since Earth is not a living being, it cannot decide to make a virus to punish us. Elba does not indicate how he knows that the pagan

We have seen numerous examples of research that claims to support universal common ancestor evolution that did nothing of the kind. Add to this the fact that the vaunted secular peer review process is fundamentally flawed , and this scorpion evolution story is a tragicomedy. Striped bark scorpion image credit: National Park Service (Usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) There are 1,750 or so known species of scorpions, but only a few have venom that is deadly to humans. Even so, this child will not be guessing, leaving the handling to the experts. These predators often blend in well with their surroundings, but they are known to make their way into places they don't belong. Be sure to shake out your shoes and boots in the morning if you sleep in those areas. A fossil was found that had the same kind of inner workings from hundreds of million Darwin years ago, but was essentially the same as those today. The researchers promptly utilized the complex scientific

When thinking of fjords, those inlets with cliffs or steep sides, many people think of Norway. Sognefjord up thataway is probably the most famous, but they are found in several other parts of the world. The way they formed is rather involved, the product of the Genesis Flood and glaciers. Sognefjord, Norway image credit: Wikimedia Commons / Worldtraveller  ( CC by-SA 3.0 ) Uniformitarian geologists have their ideas on how fjords were made. (No, Slartibartfast was not involved, nor was American industrialist Henry Fjord). Secularists tell you that glaciers carved them out, but a better explanation can be found by using a creation science Flood model. The fjords were not carved out by the glaciers, but tectonic action and tremendous amounts of water laid the groundwork (heh!), and glaciers also played their part. Today’s feedback is a question from C.O. of Norway about the origin of fjords. Did the ice form the fjords or were they already there and the ice then filled them?

Cavemen were men who lived in caves. Thanks for stopping by, always glad to answer those tough questions. Actually, I stole that from Ken Ham. Many people think that the existence of people who lived in caves is evidence for evolution. This is based on Darwinian presuppositions and connotations. The truth is far different. Credit: FreeDigitalPhotos /  vectorolie The image people have is a newly-minted brute from the evolution factory that is stupid and walking around with a club. Cartoons indicate that the males did not have dating skills, knocking females unconscious and dragging them back to the caves. Of course, nobody was there to see this happen; it's mostly a joke used to give the negative impression that they are links to our evolutionary past. What may be the most famous cavemen were the Neanderthals, but it has been determined that they were fully human , not partially evolved stupid links. There are other cave dwellers that have been touted as specimens of evolut

There was a television comedy in the 1990s titled Dinosaurs . It used a passel of names related to petroleum products and companies, the main characters being named Sinclair . The show perpetuated the notions that Earth is billions of years old, and that petroleum products came from dinosaurs. Credit: RGBStock / Elvis Santana While dinosaur remnants may have become natural gas and oil, they are not the primary sources. As for the millions of years thing, well, Carbon-14 is found in oil and other places where it should not be according to uniformitarian standards. Also, oil and natural gas pressures should have reached equilibrium or dissipated by now ( Creation Research Society Quarterly  44(1):64–66, Alexander V. Lalomov, PhD, PDF download link here ). While these facts do not prove  recent creation, they are consistent  with young earth models. The search for oil has forced scientists to map the geologic layers of many different areas around the globe and allowed us to lea

Cichlid fish are popular among aquarists, but are also popular for both secular and creation scientists. Believers in universal common ancestor evolution believe that we evolved from fish, so their presuppositions lead them to claim that natural selection and variations are examples of evolution. Creationists have more rational presuppositions, and recent cichlid research confirmed a prediction. Vieja cichlid image credit: Unsplash / The  Cofish Store An advantage for scientists who study cichlids is that their traits and the associated genes are a mite easier to study than those of other critters. Insertions and deletions of DNA were found to be locked and loaded, ready to change as needed. This is the opposite of what Darwinists believe, but supports what creationists predict about the Master Engineer's work. Cichlid fish are a top biological model for the study of diversification because of their unique ability to adapt to a wide range of lake and river environments. The

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen Some of the most popular television programs involve forensic science to investigate crime scenes. The CSI  franchise had almost 800 episodes, and numerous law enforcement dramas involve forensic technician activities. You can find many documentaries that are nonfiction. I feel that some of those are more disturbing than the fictional programs. Credit:  Bureau of Labor Statistics (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) These people are highly trained and specialize in different fields (television shows are a bit misleading when they portray them as experts in practically everything). Attention to the smallest details are essential, and evidence can accumulate to lead investigators to successful conclusions. Sometimes new technology can be used to solve "cold cases" that were shelved for years. Both creation science and universal common ancestor evolution are forensic sciences. Biblical creationists believe the Word of God while mo

Scientists are considering the relationship of extinctions between woolly mammoths and human groups. That may seem like a waste of time at first glance, but the genetic research has provided some interesting results regarding inbreeding  (or interbreeding, definition 2 ). This is especially significant in isolated populations. It seems that even though there were many woolly mammoths roaming the Northern Hemisphere, they mysteriously became extinct. After examining their DNA (no, don't be expecting cloned mammoths at the zoo), comparisons were made with human populations. Inbreeding is bad for offspring that may survive. "But Cowboy Bob, that's how the earth was populations back with Adam and Eve, then Noah and his family!" This is important, so let's take a ride on this here side trail for a spell. Biblical creationists believe that the Bible is true from the very first verse and also the part where God declared that everything was very good  (Gen. 1:

Rays are very flat fish that spend a great deal of time on the ocean floor. There is a category of rays known as skates . Why or how they were given that moniker, I have no idea. After watching them for a while, they seemed kind of cute to me.A Darwin devotee took a notion that because one known as the little skate  has a shuffling motion and certain genes, it is a link to a common ancestor. Credit: NOAA (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) According to evolutionary mythology, life originated and evolved in the sea, then some things went up onto land. (Try not to laugh, but the ancestors of whales supposedly left land and evolved into sea critters. But never mind about that now.) Not all evolutionists have chosen to ride this trail, but because other creatures have the same kinds of genes used in movement, it supposedly indicates common ancestry instead of common design by the Creator. If they give up on this idea, wait for the secular miracle of convergent evolu
