When people make components, structures, and so forth, they design them not only for specific purposes, but they also plan ahead for various contingencies. Everything must be in place and fully functional at once or it does not do anyone much good. Green sulfur bacteria use photosynthesis to obtain nourishment from light, but they must carefully regulate the amount of oxygen so that too much does not wreck the system. Researchers were amazed that quantum mechanics are involved in the process. Green sulfur bacteria image credit: Wikimedia Commons /  KOchstudiO / PD Engineers use skill, education, and training, but luck and chance are not a part of a good design. The study of the bacteria indicated design (eminently logical), but their naturalistic paradigms too precedence. Hail Darwin, blessed be! In fact, they evosplained their observations with the nonsensical term "evolutionary mechanism". By giving credit to a designer that is not the Creator, the pagan pantheistic nature

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen  On my original weblog, Stormbringer's Thunder , I was writing some articles about browsers, privacy, and extensions  as relevant to my Windows 10 desktop experiences. I conducted some of what I consider research because it involved considering variables, plus seeing what did and did not work. That became an odd inspiration for this article. It fits with discussions on shoddy research from the secular science industry, which in turn impresses the obedient lapdog fake science news media.  Credit: Pixabay / Gerd Altmann There is an extension that I use on all of my browsers called Reader View by Yokris (yes, they have a version for Opera, Firefox and its forks, as well as Chromium-based browsers). Great for relieving eye strain when reading at the computer, and the user can edit a page to some extent, then save it as an HTML document. Very helpful to me when making reference points. Read to me, Electronic Friends Reader View can read aloud to us. Users can sel

Believers in atoms-to-apes evolution are still trying to determine why humans are in charge on Earth, so they are dreaming up ideas about why this is so. There are some weird speculations being floated around. It is said that the brain uses about ten percent of the body's energy all by its lonesome, so purposeless evolution decided to make changes to send wattage upstairs. Our large brains that draw a passel of power makes us better than primates. Sure, Sweetness. Now, where is the empirical evidence for your conclusion? From this, things get sillier. Image credit:  MR LIGHTMAN  at FreeDigitalPhotos.net Researchers pushing the boundaries of ethics used pluripotent stem cells to grow organoids of human and ape brains. The human organoids quickly grew larger than those of apes. Big deal. A report says that evolutionary change in cell shape affects brain evolution. Because evolution. Storytelling and conjecture, yes, but empirical science doesn't support the narrative. These and

Creationists try to be patient with evolutionary scientists, realizing that they are conditioned to think and work within the atheistic naturalism narrative. Many do not realize there are other ways to think other than what is pleasing to Papa Darwin and the evolution industry. From what we see, however, many are deceitful owlhoots. With sensationalistic and misleading secular science industry news outlets as well as iniquitous research statements coming at us, the public must be vigilant before accepting reports of evolution. For example, "limb-like structures" in zebra danios.

Actually, it's a combination of the descriptor and the Latin  Danio rerio . Some people of a different stripe skip that name and just go with zebrafish . If their markings didn't demand their monike

In creation science literature and videos, there are numerous discussions of dinosaurs and other creatures becoming extinct as the direct or indirect result of the Genesis Flood. Some apparently became extinct immediately while others survived longer. Changing conditions on the earth, hunting, and other factors after the Flood contributed to their eventual demise. Seems like we do not hear as much about marine creatures. Sure, we know about smaller shallow-water critters, and it seems like anyone who has tried a bite of paleontology can identify a trilobite. There are other creatures that were entirely or mostly marine organisms that seem to have disappeared, immediately or eventually. They, too, were not only caught up in the cataclysmic upheavals of the Flood year, but the underwater world changed a great deal as well. Were these disappearances caused by mass extinction events as secular scientists have proposed? It doesn’t appear so. These so-called extinctions are actually just the

Local inhabitants are frightened of something that looks like a human, but is hairy and can be savage. It keeps to itself for the most part, but it is best to stay away from its turf. Reports were made by reliable witnesses, but people tended to scoff at the idea that something with such a description that is unknown to science may exist; they have not seen it, so it is not real. Very scientific attitude, old son. However, not every bit of the surface of our blue marble has been explored.

The first zoologist to see a live gorilla observed it in about 1847, and the mountain gorilla was not identified until 1902. So, these creatures are comparatively new in the annals of taxonomy. Quick notes: Gorillas have alarming incisors, but appearances with assumptions are often deceiving: they are primarily herbivorous. The

Back in 1859, Charles Darwin gave the world his hijacked view of natural selection in  Origin of Species . It was in 1874 where he called his proposal evolution  and made his racist views known in Descent of Man . The second part of the latter book's title is  Selection in Relation to Sex . Essentially, he said that the good-looking males get the female mates. He did not say how  beauty and the female's ability to choose a handsome mate arose, and admitted that his sexual selection idea had problems from the beginning. Courtship  / Edmund Blair Leighton, 1903 People who know about societies and culture should question this principle, as it doesn't make sense even on the surface. Despite stories of romance, women do not tend to select the handsomest gent for marriage (I'm a prime example). Appearance is not the most important of criteria, which also include personality, humor, financial prospects, and more. Nor are women in charge, since men are involved in choosing some
