One of the most remarkable and recognizable places in the world is Stonehenge, bringing along a sense of mystery. There are numerous candidates for the original builders and their reasons for doing so, but those are only speculations. Why was it built? Perhaps it is because it is on one of the alleged ley lines . Some people think it may have been a temple or healing center , possibly because of the unique bluestones (spotted dolomite) that were transported from Wales to the Stonehenge site. It has been determined that it was set up to be a perpetual calendar. Stonehenge, Pixabay / Simons41 While Stonehenge was known to have astronomical aspects, it took many years to determine that its structure shows mathematical precision. The ancient builders knew that there would need to be adjustments made for leap years as well. (Remnants of the  Cahokia Woodhenge were discovered in the 1960s. Although less ancient, its builders apparently made it to be a solar calendar as well. It doesn't

Believers in atoms-to-archaeologist evolution have long proclaimed that time is one of the heroes of their story, and that given enough time, anything can happen. Their stercoration is largely successful because few people consider probabilities, scientific facts, evolutionists' history of fraudulent and incompetence when handling science, and more. That word million  is casually thrown around, but folks generally disunderstand what it means. We are to be awestruck and fascinated when scientists use of the term  millions of years , and that is another way for them to hoodwink the public. Pixabay / Pete Linforth Claims of millions of years (unobserved, of course) are a smoke screen to assist materialists when dealing from the bottom of the deck to get a straight flush of secular miracles. Assertions of " it evolved " are shrouded in deep time. If you watch closely, they even stack the deck to gain evolutionary dates they want, even if it means contradicting other evolution

Although tetra  means four , here it is a short form of  Tetragonopterus , a genus name meaning "square finned" or "four-sided-wing". Tetras are popular with aquarists because some are quite colorful. The  Mexican tetra  is unimpressive in appearance, and has two forms. The most common lives where one would expect to see fish doing fish stuff, but the other is the blind cavefish . (We had some in our aquarium, and thought they were gentle and got along with other fish.) They exhibit changes that are erroneously claimed to be examples of evolution . Blind cavefish, Wikimedia Commons / Syrio  ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) As in other cases, Darwin's disciples try to bamboozle people by saying loss of traits are examples of onward and upward evolution. Blind cavefish have shown that they are designed to adapt . For that matter, the blind and sighted varieties cannot be considered separate species , so there's nothing exhibited that can be legitimately claimed as evolution

As people are celebrating Lenin's birthday , which is also Earth Day, they are advocating for the ethical treatment of animals , taking care of the environment, and other decent things. Keep an eye on the radicals who hijack noble efforts for their own ends. There is talk of "pristine wilderness." What does that really mean? Uncorrupted by civilization, some might say. Others would say that it means untouched by humans. When evolutionary thinking is added to the mix, things get...truly bizarre. Amazon Rainforest, Flickr /  Ivan Mlinaric  ( CC BY 2.0 ) There are people who think that humans taint everything, and the world would be better off if there was no technology, medical science, society, or anything else. Humans have influenced pretty much everything, even areas that are considered pristine, for millennia. Strangely, these extremists are inconsistent with their evolutionary ideas: Since we all allegedly evolved from a common ancestor and evolved to the top of the he

Sensible people can agree that torturing animals for personal pleasure, as well as having callous disregard for their lives, is wrong. There are individuals and activist groups that campaign for animal rights. However, their positions are inconsistent and irrational. They have a worldview based on atoms-to-animal evolution. If Darwin's version of evolution were true (survival of the fittest and all that) humans should be able to do what we want. By saying mistreatment is wrong, they violate their worldview. In the Christian worldview, however, caring for creatures makes sense. Basement Cat, Flickr / Cowboy Bob Sorensen ( CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 ) It is interesting that vegetarians and vegans use their philosophies as a badge of honor (virtue signaling), and sit in self-appointed judgment of omnivores. To be blunt, they act like cultists (1 Tim. 4:1-5, and see " Vegetarianism Has Become an End-Time Religion ", thanks to WHYOutreach for the link). By saying that something is wrong

One characteristic of false teachers and cults is to isolate their people, which is to keep them from interacting with and learning from other people. If you study on it, biblical creationists are the opposite. Especially the scientists. They have friends and professional colleagues who hold to secular views of science. However, they still work together and even co-author scientific papers, then shake hands and part friendly. Biblical creationists, whether scientists or the rest of us, are not isolated from old-Earth views. Consider the Grand Canyon. Colorado River Rafting, Flickr / Gordon Tarpley ( CC BY-SA 2.0 ) Many people journey to the Grand Canyon in the formerly United States. Some keep it simple, spend a few minutes, make "wow" sounds, and leave. Others get more involved with hiking, rafting the Colorado River, and more. Rafting for tourist can be a rather short jaunt of a few hours, but certain creationists wanted to get serious about it: nine days and eight nights.

Time and time again, Darwin's disciples are trapped by their erroneous presuppositions. They filter observed evidence through their worldviews  and are continually surprised when their speculations do not match the facts. Rescuing devices and obambulating weasel words are utilized. As regular readers have seen, secular cosmologists are constantly surprised that facts do not align with preconceptions. This also happens in biology, paleontology, and so on. "Earlier than thought", "Later than thought" and similar terms are vague but unapologetic admissions of error. They are used in discussions of ancient DNA. One major problem for those of the deep-time persuasion is that they assume the earth is billions of years old despite frequent evidences to the contrary . It was extremely difficult to get labs to carbon date diamonds because they "knew" there would be no C14. Wrong. Dinosaurs and other creatures "cannot" have soft tissues and discernable

The Genesis Flood is extremely important in creation science, and there are Flood models postulated to correspond with observational evidence. Of course, biblical creationists disagree on details and put forward differing models, but agree that the Word of God is of primary importance. People tend to have a superficial knowledge of the Flood, thinking it was only  40 days and nights. No, the waters were on the earth for 150 days. There was much more happening than rain, and creationists are interested in paleontology, geology, and volcanism.

First, biblical creationists reject the stories of multiple ice ages that secularists tell because there is no real evidence for them, but there is abundant evidence for one Ice Age. The global Flood of Noah's day involved catastrophic geological processes, inc

On the holiday traditionally known as Easter, millions of professing Christians gather to celebrate how God the Son was bodily raised from the dead. Jesus is our Creator (John1:1-3, Colossians 1:15-17) and took the form of man to die on the cross (Philippians 2:8), then his Resurrection was on the third day. We have eyewitness testimony in the Gospels (1 Corinthians 15:3-8). We also have evidence from archaeology. While it is not direct  evidence, there are many aspects that support the biblical narratives. Something noteworthy about the Bible that sets it apart from myths, legends, fairy tales, and so on is the amount of very specific details that are not found in made-up stories. Church of the Holy Sepulcher image credit: Flickr /  Seetheholyland.net  ( CC BY-SA 2.0 ) There are several compelling facts supported by archaeology, including the fact that he was worshiped as God long before such a legend would have time to develop. Cumulative details from history and archaeology indicate

Advocates of universal common ancestor evolution often declare that certain parts of the human body and in animals are poorly designed, therefore, there is no Master Designer. The first thing to notice is that such claims (dysteleology) are based on opinions, not science. In fact, those are theological  "arguments"! Creationists say that things are designed, and are constantly being vindicated. We saw a refutation of "bad design" of the human ear a spell back. As is so often the case, additional information reaffirms the creationist position. Pexels / Karolina Grabowska Darwinoids were complaining that some critters can close off their ears to keep water and things out, we can't, so there is no Creator. Well, we're not chickens, seals, crows, and other things. Their ears were designed for their lifestyles, ours were designed for the way we live. You savvy that? We already have ear protection, enhanced sound discrimination, and to be able to locate sounds. T
