Because secular scientists have materialistic presuppositions, they are compelled to deny special creation using the complex scientific principle of Making Things Up™. The Big Bang is the atheistic myth of cosmic evolution, and then other evolution stories are hitched to that one. The first three elements of the periodic table, hydrogen, helium, and lithium, supposedly fit Big Bang model predictions. The first two are the most common elements in the universe, so that seems like confirmation bias. Lithium is not cooperating at all.

A couple of basic science definitions are in order, since people who do not use them frequently get a mite confused. You have a poster of the periodic table of the elements on the wall of your living room, right? Sure, everyone does (mine is out to be resurfaced). It lists atomic numbers, how many protons, neutrons, and

In their efforts to deny the literal history recorded in Genesis, secular scientists have caused themselves a great deal of scientific and intellectual trouble. Some jasper will dream up a scenario that seems plausible at first glance, then the facts contradict it. For example, the Ice Age. Louis Agassiz was not the first to propose an ice age, but he was persistent. It was doubted at first, but when secular geologists realized that it would help them distance themselves from geology caused by the Genesis Flood, they saddled up. Snowball Earth image: Flickr / guano  ( CC BY-SA 2.0 ) In fact, they wanted more ice ages. However, there was this small problem of evidence — t'weren't none. At least, not for the number they wanted spread out over five major periods. The Snowball Earth concept has most of the planet covered in ice, but has problems they just can't skate around. One of these is the " Faint Young Sun Paradox ", where the sun is too cool to provide enough w

First post of the year, and my unregistered assault keyboard is locked, loaded, and upgraded. When doing science, it is important to make sure that one is operating within the framework. This includes presuppositions. As stated before, everyone has a worldview , and that includes things we presuppose to be true without empirical verification. Secular scientists presuppose universal common descent with modifications evolution, biblical creation scientists presuppose that the Bible is true. There are times when those assumptions need to be checked. Galaxy UGC 2885 credits: NASA / ESA / B. Holwerda (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) We have seen numerous times that a naturalistic worldview doesn't marry up with observed evidence, so timelines are modified, data is tweaked, and a prairie schooner-full of problems beset secularists. Instead of playing around protecting the naturalism narrative, secular scientists with integrity should be questioning their presupposition

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen  A spell back, someone on Twitter was peddling a book about how he, a scientist, went from atheism to faith. I was intrigued and looked up some background on the author. It turns out that he is affiliated with the Untied (misspelling intentional) Methodist Church. I replied, "It is indeed unfortunate that you are telling your story of coming to faith, but are a leader in a church that doesn't believe the Bible." The UMC is notoriously liberal in theology. Modified from Pixabay /  Willgard Krause Seymour Garte got a mite riled over my blunt remark, and his reply consisted of several false statements.  He believes in the "grandeur" of Darwin's evolution and wrote a chapter on it (his book is praised by other TEs as well). Why do theistic evolutionist compromisers insist on millions of years of death and suffering, where their god is a cruel monster that uses such methods? Also, why did their god lie about creation in Genesis and all thro

If someone describes a black and white bird that spends a lot of time in cold ocean waters, it is easy to assume that the penguin is being described. Not necessarily. Get a few more details, old son, and also know that not all penguins are entirely black and white. This is about a northern Atlantic seabird. While penguins range in size from six feet to thirteen inches, puffins are about thirteen inches (33 cm). Both spend time in the sea, but puffins are on the water more than in it.  RGBStock / Kevin Tuck Cute things, kind of clownish looking (sorta like Puddles Pity Party around the eyes). The strategic placement of the black and white demonstrates design, and that beak is used in mating and greeting. Like other seabirds (plus some reptiles and a few fish), they can drink salt water and then throw it off through a salt gland. Puffins are surprisingly intelligent, too. Swans are often associated with elegance, eagles with majesty, and owls with wisdom, but not every bird seems quit

It is no secret that Charles Robert Darwin needs his followers to sacrifice science and logic in order to give him huge amounts of time. Otherwise, he cannot perform his evolutionary wonders when there is lack of faith on the part of his votaries. But they come through. When reading sacred writ from the secular science industry, discerning people may notice phrases like "earlier than thought". New discoveries require adjustments, and the false claim that "science is self-correcting" is invoked . In reality, naturalists get tangled in their webs while trying to force-fit data into observations they have made themselves. This requires the hope that folks aren't skilled enough in critical thinking to catch them moving the goalposts, tampering with the evidence, and using dreadful logic. When caught defying real science, they try to evosplain the problems away. Rescuing devices are frantically created for things such as a star that is determined to be "older&qu

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen  Although I want to write about biblical creation science and refutations of universal common ancestor evolution, culture and politics force themselves into the material. Part of the problem is that the secular science industry supports leftist causes , so science-related discussions become tainted with the stuff . The secular science industry has tried for years to replace the Creator with false gods of Evolution and Natural Selection. Evolutionists are reaping what they have sown — and  this time it scares them .  Mostly made at PhotoFunia Materialists impose their naturalistic origins mythology on the world in the name of science and reason. Such philosophies cry "Havoc!" and let loose the dogs of absurdity. Even atheist Friedrich Nietzsche had a  glimmer of the truth  that we need God. Wokeness is a result of their worldview. In these days of postmodernism , which includes situational ethics and subjective morality , wokeness  is similar in that the
