Charles Robert Darwin took the ancient pagan concept of evolution that had been kicked around for hundreds of years, gussied it up, and speculated about universal common ancestry through natural selection. Traditional Darwinism began to fade, but the modern synthesis  saved it from the scrap heap of history. Incorporating the science of genetics initiated by Gregor Mendel (peas be upon him), mutations  became vitally important. Time, mutations, and natural selection are a trifecta. While Darwin's cheerleaders claim that genetics and mutations support evolution, that is the opposite of the truth. DNA and Mutations, modified from Pixabay / Arek Socha DNA is a complex language or code that is comprised of four letters . A mutation is a transcription error, such as typing an account number of  12 02 1809 as 12 20 1809. Most mutations are harmful. Many have been considered neutral. However, they still add to the genetic load. Consider when running a registry cleaner on a Windows comput

It is puzzling to this child why a bird shares a name with a medium-sized warship. While some pirates used frigates, they had smaller crews and preferred smaller vessels. Those imposing galleons in pirate movies? Fuggedaboudit! There are several species of frigatebirds, the largest is the magnificent and the smallest is lesser  (which still has an impressive body length). The object of our interest today is the great frigatebird . It has several features that affirm intelligent design and challenge Darwin's disciples. Great Frigatebird, Flickr / Makuahine Pa'i Ki'i  ( CC BY 2.0 ) One thing in keeping with a pirate theme is that, like pirates, frigatebirds are opportunists. A flying fish escapes sharks but becomes lunch for the frigatebird . It also steals food from other birds. We know of several birds that can fly tremendous distances (such as the arctic tern and the albatross), but this bad boy excels. It seems to shun land and can stay aloft for weeks . This bird's b

In the parade of our alleged evolutionary ancestors, Neanderthals were iconic. They were portrayed as brutish cave dwellers. After much time and further investigations, this image was shown to be completely wrong. Living in caves...sure, why not? People have done that through history, and even do so today. It seems that the mystery deepened for anthropologists and paleontologists. To them, Neanderthals could be the Cotton-Eyed Joes: Where did they come from, and where did they go? From a biblical creationist perspective using scientific discoveries, they are not so enigmatic after all. Neanderthal Woman, PLOS One / CCommons /  Bacon CPH ( CC BY 2.5 ), Modified at PhotoFunia It has been demonstrated that Neanderthals had all sorts of human traits but nothing to show simian ancestry. Most evolutionists have reclassified them as fully human, even though there are still some holdouts (because Darwin needs the narrative). Reconstructions show that they clean up nice and can pass as other p

It is common knowledge that the secular news media are, for the most part, heavily biased toward the political left. This obviously influences their reporting — which seems more like propaganda than actual journalism. After all, journalists are expected to investigate and ask hard questions. There are a few reporters who want to do their jobs. Unfortunately, they are obscured by the lapdog majority. In the secular science industry, leftist causes and Darwinism are paramount as well as symbiotic. The public wants answers and is getting annoyed with the science press. Sausages by Amanda Lim at Unsplash (modified, obviously) In an article on an Intelligent Design site titled " Why Are Science Reporters So Credulous? ", David Klinghoffer points out that secular science journalists are assembling press releases instead of doing genuine reporting. He quotes Nicholas Wade, who indicates that journalists put scientists on pedestals which hinders doubt or healthy skepticism. The secu

Centuries ago, I accepted a position as a production scheduler. My knowledge of the product was nonexistent, and the machinery amazed me. My predecessor was supposed to train me, but ran off. Then my supervisor was out sick. That meant I had to get out on the floor and talk to the workers and their supervisors. The biggest problem is that I had no idea of the right questions to ask. There was no framework for my thinking. For Darwin's disciples in the secular science industry, this was the opposite of their problem. The School of Athens by Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino, 1511 There are tropes about trying to solve crimes or save lives, and the people doing the work often realize, "We're going about this the wrong way." They had to get outside their framework and consider other possibilities. Unfortunately, evolutionists are so locked into their materialistic paradigms that they cannot conduct proper scientific research or solve problems. As we have seen many times on thi

Russell Watchtower, who heads up the Ministry of Truth at the Darwin Ranch, likes to say that time is the hero of the story. Evolutionists often say that given enough time, anything can happen. Like that silly thing about monkeys typing the works of Shakespeare . Not happening, Hoss. When using the science of genetics pioneered by Gregor Mendel (peas be upon him), human DNA has about three billion  letters. Well, four letters occurring naturally: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T). Then they get arranged. Waiting , Vladimir Makovsky , 1875 Our cousins, according to evolutionary dogma, are chimpanzees. If they were going to evolve into humans, they would be much obliged if someone would make up the 300 million-letter deficit between us that chimps are lacking. But that genetic material is not arriving on the Wells Fargo Wagon. In addition, it's that pesky old mutations thing. The amount of time to get even a few letters to line up in a useful way would take bill

It is amazing how smells can instantly prompt emotional reactions and memories, and we often physically respond. Walking in this neighborhood in the spring, then I suddenly smell flowers and look around  in an effort to find the source. Yep, that tree is blossoming. Even descriptions of aromas can prompt an association in another person. Was your own memory stirred a little by the above paragraph? My prospector friend Stormie Waters took me to the store and wanted me to get a whiff of a cologne to wear around her fiancée, and was none too pleased when I said it made me think of old church ladies from my youth. Blooming Trees, RGBStock / Michal Zacharzewski Aromatherapy is popular among New Age folks, but it may actually have some benefit , mostly psychological, it seems. Some fragrances may be naturally soothing or stimulating. I did some of my own self-conditioning by having incense and quiet music, and those smells would help me relax. On the other hand, extremely bad smells can serv

Some evolutionists act like they are still giddy after spending May Day at the Darwin Ranch near Deception Pass, dancing around the May Pole and singing hymns to the Bearded Buddha. Mayhaps they joined the ranch hands in consuming peyote for religious purposes. In their ongoing mission to explore strange new ways of affirming evolution, some interesting methods to affirm it without evidence have been written. We have three articles to consider. The first is the longest, about a 12-minute read. Ichthyosaur, Copyright Expired Science Illustrations / Heinrich Harder , 1916 Some of these critters of dinosaur times were porpoise size, others were as big as a whale. Evolution is supposed to be without a plan, but evolutionary paganism was in the reports. Somehow, purpose-driven evolution provided numerous adaptations for marine reptiles. One weird speculation is that they evolved in "bursts." Uh, evidence, please?  Fun fact: The English word please  is a shortened form of plesiosau

There was a big ruckus at the Darwin Ranch recently, but it was nothing new. Just old anger flaring up again. Russell Watchtower of the Ministry of Truth asked Sherwood Tellit for a precise definition of species . Dewey Lye joined in with his definition. Things escalated and Lisa Myworries even had to bring in the Winkie Guards from the property line to settle things down. Those folks know that the word species  is disputed, and there are maybe 300 or so breeds of horses, and those are grouped into five basic types . The same with cats, dogs, etc. Then we have the kinds  in creation science. Wild horses in Mongolia, RGBStock / Stella Bogdanic Secularists laugh at creationists who are working on the created kinds  concept because that's just Bible stuff, not science. Oh, really? Those folks can't nail down a good definition of species. Also, modern taxonomy began with Linnaeus, a creationist. In his early days, he believed in the "fixity of species" where there was no

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen  Humor is something I have studied for years, if one includes watching television. Study  is a word that I would like to use, but to be more accurate, I have pondered it off and on for about 135 years. There is a difference between humor and laughter. Some people laugh because they are nervous and are attempting to self-soothe and perhaps garner sympathy from other people. Other times, people laugh because they find something genuinely funny or see the humor in a situation.  The Laughing Violinist / Gerard van Honthorst , ca.1624 My own sense of humor has evolved over the years, inserting genetic material from old American comedies, other people, comedians, and British styles. Subtle things appeal to me, and I occasionally insert humor into my posts and articles. I wonder if people catch them, however, since I don't have "I see what you did there" comments on Fakebook and Tweeter. We often laugh when something takes us by surprise, as mentioned on
