Disciples of the Lord Darwin have a problem because they are reaping what they have sown. After all, they believe in natural selection and survival of the fittest, so those things logically should occur in the secular science industry. The mysterious machines at work in their mind are not consistent with their fundamentally-flawed worldview. If morality comes from evolution , they cannot be consistent and lament unethical and immoral behavior. Secularists are inadvertently appealing to God when they want an ultimate standard. Hudson River...thing, Flickr / Cowboy Bob Sorensen ( CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 ) If using fake science, referencing retracted papers , submitting fraudulent papers and having them pass peer review makes them survive better — sure, why not? Some establishments have a "publish or perish" standard that puts tremendous pressure on some folks who simply want to go about their business conducting scientific research, so that probably contributes to the temptation to ch

At the beginning of creation, everything was very good. After the Fall of Man, things began to deteriorate. That is why we have mutations and the degradation of the genome. Indeed, genetic entropy is a powerful refutation of deep time . One of the fastest ways to accumulate mutations is inbreeding depression.  (No, it has nothing to do with sadness from having the same relatives as one's spouse.) Rather, it is the loss of fitness that can lead to the extinction of a species. DNA Mutation, Pixabay / swiftsciencewriting , modified with FotoSketcher Many creatures don't breed with close relatives very often, but others are not very picky. Those populations can go extinct, but it has been suggested by evolutionists that purging  happens through intensified inbreeding. While most mutations are harmful and many are simply worthless, this intense inbreeding leads to the removal of the worst mutations. However, if this works at all, it is only in limited instances because all  harmful

One trick of minerals-to-man evolutionists is to claim that natural selection is evolution, and since most creationists believe in natural selection, we must also believe that Papa Darwin was right. Not hardly! Natural selection was actually the work of a creationist . Related to that is the charge that we believe in fixity of species . Yes, some folks did believe that God created everything as we see it, but such a concept was abandoned by most creationists long ago. We believe in the original genetically-rich created kinds . Sand cat, fennec fox, mulgara images from Wikimedia Commons* Not only do we accept the observed fact of natural selection (though not Darwin's creative force concept), we also believe in variation and speciation . The three animals here certainly couldn't survive in the Arctic, nor could their counterparts last in the desert. A combination of front-loaded genetic information, gene expression, plus natural selection made it possible for them to thrive. Int

Imagine my surprise when I found out I was locked into my cabin and had to crawl out the window. It turns out my pony had fashioned a kind of padlock to keep me confined. When confronted, he said, "I'm sorry, Wilbur!" I keep telling him my name is not Wilbur. As seen before, purveyors of evoporn tell us that ancient humans were not yet intelligent. Because evolution. Evolutionists are surprised when ancient humans showed brilliance. But their primitive tools were chipped rocks? Pixnio / Marko Milivojevic Resonating with their cognitive dissonance is that it appears these primitive stone tools attributed to brutish early humans were from the activity of horses. Whoa! Other critters are known to make rudimentary tools as well, so how many alleged tools were from them and not man? Evolutionary presuppositions interfere with science, and you can bet your saddlebags that there would be fewer embarrassments if scientists began with a creation view, and that our Creator made hum

Regular readers have seen numerous instances where Darwinian views have not only hindered science, but been harmful as well. For example, alleged vestigial organs were surgically removed but later found to have tremendous benefits, and so-called "junk" DNA is useful after all . Darwin's disciples try to downplay  soi-disant  scientific racism and social Darwinism that ran rampant from Victorian times and well into the 20th century. Although some of those things have faded, Americans participated in a disgraceful Naziesque medical study on black men that ended in 1972. Tuskegee syphilis study / CDC (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) The United States Public Health Service (PHS) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) promised a six-month study of syphilis on black men, but those men were not informed they had the disease. Nor were they given readily-available treatments. Syphilis is a nasty, sneaky disease that is preventable and can prove fatal. Like N

Ironically, Russell Watchtower is the head of the Ministry of Truth propaganda division at the Darwin Ranch. Like in Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four , Minitrue obscures facts that interfere with the evolutionary narrative. He used the term over-engineered . Oopsie. Unpleasant fellow and not very bright, he missed the fact that evolution requires purposelessness and no Creator. By saying over-engineered , he implied both design and a Designer. Lotta Lyez, the kitchen maid, refused to speak to him for two days. Do you see the irony? Freeimages / Henrik Groth-Andersen Another evolutionist made the same mistake when discussing the lungs of crocodilians. They were over-engineered in his view because they're capable of more than those critters need. I took my my Charles Darwin Club Secret Decoder Ring™ out of its glass case and saw that it meant, "Ain't got a clue." They proceeded to dream up fact-free nonsense about probably having been faster in earlier years. Computer

The fiftieth state of those formerly United is Hawai'i, an archipelago in the Pacific ocean. The Big Island is the state's namesake, but it is less populous than the smaller islands like Oahu and Maui. We have another national park adventure, this time to Mele Kalikimaka — "No, Cowboy Bob, that is a Christmas song!" Oh, right. If you want to know why Merry Christmas is pronounced that way, see this video . Anyway. seeing my notes and the title, we are checking out  Haleakalā National Park over on Maui. Haleakalā Crater, FreeImages / Chris LaCroix We discussed volcanic eruptions in Iceland and the Philippines  a spell back, so this time we'll ignore the six active volcanoes in Hawai'i (four of which are on the Big Island) and consider Mt. Haleakalā. Nice and dormant, so rude surprises from it are unlikely. Like other national parks, the propaganda mill is promoting millions of years. How do they cognate to that? This child thinks secularists are willingly dece
