One of the most common stories told by purveyors of universal common ancestor evolution is that dinosaurs evolved into birds. Atheists and other evolutionists pretend that this view, along with many others, is universally supported by secular scientists. That is not the case. There are mainstream scientists who reject dinosaur-to-bird evolution. The majority view is ridiculous for many reasons, including that  dinosaurs and birds co-existed . This should make them pull back on the reins and holler, "Whoa!". Similarly, there are important reasons to reject the dino-to-reptiles view. Looks like the lizard regrets meeting the egret.

Darwin's disciples evosplain that birds and reptiles are not all that different, but that requires a lack of basic science knowledge and thinking. (They should use the minds they were given and question evolution .) The differences are actually quite complica

Dewey Lye, one of the interesting people at the Darwin Ranch near Deception Pass, was pondering new reports on the famed Laetoli footprints. You remember those. Lots of hoopla about the prints and how humans are the only mammals that walk the way we do. Also, it was thought that we evolved in a linear manner. No evidence of course. Dewey explained to me that new research on the Laetoli footprints made Darwinists believe that several hominins existed at the same time. Because evolution.

Well, they're making much out of little, because most of those footprints don't give much information about who or what made them — including if they really are footprints, and someone could have been wearing foam clogs. Lousy reasoning commenced because researchers assumed prints were made by an allege

There are three family classifications of pinnipeds, which are walruses, sea lions, and seals. These oceanic carnivores account for one quarter of all carnivores on Earth, and these eat a variety of marine animals. Pinnipeds have a variety of movements in water and on land. Believers in universal common descent evolution say that the three families, like whales, had land ancestors that did an about-face and evolved some more to live in the sea. Other evolutionists disagree, saying that genetics does not support a single ancestor. Atlantic Grey Seals, RGBStock / Elvis Santana The fossil record does not support any kind of pinniped descent with modifications. Sure, there is evidence for variety, but not evolution — which is what biblical creationists expect. One weak attempt to find a fossil link between seals and their land-based ancestors was simply an otter. Question Evolution Day is February 12 For that matter, fossils of monk seals are the same as their living counterparts. The evi

The majority of scientists today presuppose materialism, which means there is no Creator, no miracles, and so forth. Conversely, biblical creationists and some in the Intelligent Design community presuppose what is abhorrent to secularists. The beliefs of materialists cause major scientific problems for them. Before materialistic naturalism became the a priori  driving force in the secular science industry, most scientists believed in creation. Those who reject the Creator cannot rationally explain energy in the universe. Ironically, they invoke unscientific philosophical explanations. Big Bang abstract, Pixabay / Gerd Altmann Two of the most important laws of physics are at play when considering the origin of energy. First, energy can be neither created nor destroyed, which is a summation of the First Law of Thermodynamics. (Amazingly, matter and energy are forms of the same thing.) Second, entropy: A summation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics  is that everything runs down. Materia

For many years, the secular science industry has relied on a uniformitarian (slow and gradual, the present is the key to the past) paradigm. After all, Darwin requires deep time so he can work his evolutionary miracles and secular geologists obediently provide it. In many cases, the narrative take priority over the evidence and proper scientific investigation. Fortunately for science, this is not always the case. Occasionally, scientists are willing to question the prevailing paradigm, which would be good for secular geology.

One scientist found evidence of tremendous flooding in many areas. He suggested prolonged floods, but Royal Gorge and the Rocky Mountains do not cooperate with that. He had other ideas that didn't quite fit. He's getti

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen  Someone comes along to read a post, then notices a link to an extremely long article. What is a reader to do with that? Most web traffic is from mobile browsers (which I believe encourage people to sacrifice quality content for convenience and brevity). Ebooks are increasing in popularity, however. When I say ebook, I include shorter articles. Sales of ebook readers is declining. One reason is that readers tend to last many years and do not need replacing. Another is because people read ebooks on mobile devices. How is that happening? Photo of my ebook reader modified at BigHugeLabs.com , modified again with Paint.Net With Question Evolution Day just a week away, I thought it would be helpful to provide suggestions for people who are serious about learning biblical creation science. Now, don't get on the prod and disunderstand me. I know that everyone can't read or watch everything, and aren't interested in every subject (I certainly skip many thin

Biomimetics, also called biomimicry, is when people are inspired by what is observed in nature and attempt to duplicate processes for our needs. We have presented several interesting examples on this site, and they show how our Creator works from an engineering approach. One claim to fame for fleas is that they can catapult themselves over tremendous distance. Well, tremendous according to their size. In the leaf beetle family are flea beetles, often invited to family events to provide entertainment because they also excel at jumping long distances. Eight-spotted Flea Beetle, Flickr / Hugo A. Quintero G. ( CC BY 2.0 ) That's a great defense mechanism. A predator gets too close, the beetle says, "I know you wanna eat me, but it's kinda hard because I'm..." ( sproing ) "...over here now!" I'll allow that some folks are rooting for the predators, since leaf beetles much on crops and such. Even so, this jumping ability is impressive. That mechanism tha

Consider whales. They spend their lives on the water and resemble fish, but they are animals. Air-breathing mammals. The largest animal on Earth is the blue whale, and it eats mighty small shrimp-like critters known as krill . When a baleen whale eats those little things, they do what is called lunge feeding and take in a huge quantity of them. They also gulp down water, and blast it out through the blow hole up top. Have you ever wondered how they eat without drowning? Blue whale image from NOAA Fisheries (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Whales eat underwater many times each day, and a large number of functions for closing off airways and such happen automatically. Obviously, we be submerged and eat successfully. Something else that cannot be done is for those jaspers who invoke evolution as empirical science to be able to give us evidence for this alleged evolution. Some people think and ask questions, and don't just gulp down what "scientists say."

As stated before, there are many models in creation science that come and go, but the foundation is the inerrant Word of God. Biblical creationists attempt to square their ideas with Scripture and science. They reason from the Bible, and one consideration is the condition of creation at the beginning. There are differing speculations among creationists about the meaning of biblical texts regarding the state of creation. It was perfect, but some people read some idealism into it that was borrowed from the Greeks and not supported by the text. Pixnio / Drazen Nesic Some even think that there was no entropy before the Fall of Man and the Curse, but that idea does not fit with science or Scripture . Indeed, the Second Law of Thermodynamics had to be  in effect at the beginning for creation to even function . The Bible clearly indicates that the Fall and the Curse had definite physical effects on creation, and biblical creationists can study further on this. In the metanarrative of Scriptur

 Secular geologists have long struggled to fit the origin of Earth's continental crust into their uniformitarian paradigm. While scientists can see ocean ridges giving up oceanic crust at the seafloor, continents are composed of a different kind of crust. The hot filling for the crusts is actually the magma underneath.  Of course, these geologists get ideas and then they try to make them look plausible. They have assertions based on what their naturalistic narrative demands, but their views are seldom supported by evidence. My photo of a rock formation near Hurley, NY, modified at  PhotoFunia A study relied on the assumption that the crusts all popped up at once 2.5 billion years ago, but there is no evidence for this. Imagination, you betcha. Based on that forming-at-the-same-time assumption, only a comparatively small belt of rock was tested. It did not go well. The origin of the continental crust continues to baffle secular geologists who often refer to this mystery as the "
