Piltdown Superman

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen  Another trolling raid at The Question Evolution Project  was just like previous disruptions, with people using prejudicial conjecture, ad hominems , boilerplate talking points from evolution, and other things to shout down and humiliate creationists. This shows that the hands at the Darwin Ranch are making their message heard and believed. Evolutionists have themselves some rules and laws. Some of those, especially on social(ist) media, are made up. Others appear scientific, but those rules apparently were made to be broken — or used in bad logic to "demonstrate" evolution. Parakeet image before modification at imgflip : Pexels / Egor Kamelev Keep in mind that Darwin's disciples call things "evolution" that have nothing to do with it. When changes in body size, variation, modifications, and other things are invoked, people are deceived into thinking that Darwin was right. It is ironic that speciation, natural selection, and speciation are

Southeast Texas has a national preserve that covers a great deal of ground. Texas can handle Big Thicket National Preserve , though. A national preserve is like a national park , but hunting and mineral extraction are permitted under close regulation. There is a variety of recreational activities partly because it has several ecosystems, so both hiking and kayaking can happen on the same day. Naturally, this means there are several different kinds of lifeforms. One that is our focus shows the genius of the Creator and planned mutualism. Cypress slough habitat, Big Thicket National Preserve, WikiComm / William L. Farr ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) Pitcher plants show design through their shape, which takes in some rainwater under the hood, and a fragrance attracts insects. They get in there and become food for the plant. In the days before the plants grow pitchers, they attract bees but do not trap them. However, the plant is designed to nudge the bee to pollinate other flowers! Many things in natu

Although professing atheists claim that living things only appear to have been designed, people who do not filter their observations through that opinion can easily see that living things were not only designed, but designed by our Creator (Rom. 1:18-23). I will go further: I believe part of his purpose was for our pleasure — and meet our needs. They are like living jewels with an incredible array of colors, but they fade away when their time is done (Isaiah 40:8). One does not have to be a botanist to appreciate them. Pink peonies, Unsplash / Cowboy Bob Sorensen , modified at PhotoFunia Flowering and reproduction are complicated systems (being a botanist is helpful for understanding these details). Birds, bees, flowers, trees have some connections to it. Many flowers need insects and sometimes animals for pollination, and seed dispersal is done through birds, insects, various animals, the wind, and so on. By the way, believers in particles-to-peonies evolution claim that everything c

Global warming has been a darling of leftists, something thinking people realize. The strands of this paracord are very similar to those used by Darwin’s acolytes. Consider how pertinent information is ignored or repressed, doubters are demonized, predictions are made with insufficient evidence , and more. Insufficient or repressed evidence is important in global warming. Very little is actually known from historical science about what happened in the past, and factors affecting climate need to be examined more fully. It is easier to blame and tax humans for climate change, though. Satellite view of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai erupting, cropped from NASA et alia , (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Yes, everyone knows that climate changes. Our Creator designed Earth to do that. Volcanoes have been pointed out as a major contributor to climate change many times, but it seems that those have not been factored into climate change models. Now several areas of volcanic in

When the word Egypt is mentioned, several things can come to mind: Arid conditions, the Nile River, sand, Moses, God humiliating Pharaoh, a passel of whales  — wait, what? Sure. Things change over time. Indeed, the Sahara itself was once a nice place to go swimming . Whales in the desert are not easily explained by uniformitarian dogma. Indeed, the Valley of the Whales signage uses the ludicrous “dies and sinks to the bottom” boilerplate story for fossilization. In this case there are numerous whales as well as other creatures. Wadi Al-Hitan (Whale Valley), WikiComm / Guy Debonnet ( CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO ) To have numerous well-preserved fossils (scientists can see what some had for last meals), it takes a catastrophic event. Creation science models of the Genesis Flood provide far better explanations than secular Just-So Stories. In fact, Flood geology here goes beyond fossilization and explains landforms as well. In the grand scheme of evolution, the legs of land-based animals developed

My wife baked a trilobite pie the other day... Okay, it was really a pecan pie, but I immediately thought of trilobite fossils. Too bad those critters are extinct, and I would like it if some were found alive as living fossils . Those things fluster believers in molecules-to-musician evolution. Actually, trilobites also fluster evolutionists. Advances in technology show that they had amazing eyes and visual acuity . Trilobites are associated with the Cambrian Explosion , which is also a sore spot for secular scientists. "Trilobite pie," Flickr / Cowboy Bob Sorensen  ( CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 ) Secular paleontologists typically believe in slow 'n' gradual processes over millions of years that shaped today's landforms. Fossilization supposedly happened slowly as well, but that idea has been demonstrated to be ludicrous many times over. Because the evidence doesn't fit their narrative, some secular scientists are appealing to catastrophic events. Trilobite Fossils, Unsp

We discussed how Darwin's disciples try to evosplain the origin and complexity of tongues . Now we will narrow our focus to how the beak and tongue of the hummingbird work as a unit . Some details have been known for quite a while. Yes, I keep banging that drum about how advances in technology help scientists study the world, but this one is not just for researchers. Photography has developed (heh!) a great deal. The ability to obtain images at high speeds and some other techniques provided some answers on the hummingbird. Hummingbird, cropped from Unsplash / Mary Kapka The research answered some questions, but also indicated other areas of research that were needed. While evolution was insignificant in this work, homage was given to Darwin anyway. Tongues get nectar, beaks trap it, they have to swallow in such a short time: A twentieth of a second. This speaks of the work of the Creator, old son, not current forms of the Bearded Buddha's Victorian myth. How does the bird retri

It is a fact of life that, barring medical conditions or accidents, people grow old and eventually take a dirt nap. There have been many efforts to try and find ways to stave off aging, and to find out what causes it in the first place. There is a movement to upgrade ourselves with transhumanism , even to the point of living forever. (There are cautionary tales about regretful immortals who long for death.) It is a good thing to cure illnesses and counteract aging, no need for transhumanism. Old Couple , Vladimir Makovsky, 1889 Those of us who believe the Bible know that aging and death entered into the world when Adam sinned. In Genesis 2:17, God told Adam that the day he ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he would surely die. People have said the Bible is wrong because Adam and Eve didn't die. However, the more literal translation is dying you shall die . The deterioration began and was passed down to everyone, physically and spiritually. Negative effects of all t

Over the years, scientists have utilized the advances in technology and learned that simple life forms and cells are not so simple. This knowledge should make them appreciate the brilliance of the Master Engineer. Unfortunately, many prefer their incoherent materialistic worldviews. The word simple  is relative, as bacteria are simple when compared to people. Most bacteria are beneficial as well as possessing complex traits such as mobility . This mobility is further enhanced in an unexpected way: They use compasses for navigation — and do not have ready-made materials that are available to humans. Compass and map, Pixabay / Ylanite Koppens Folks might think that bacteria just meander and mosey around until opportunities arise to do bacteria stuff, but they not only use compasses, they build them! (When we build them, materials are commonly available.) Building them involves using crystals containing iron. The entire process is nowhere near understood, but scientists are still trying

Spend some time with atom-to-atheist evolution material, and you will invariably encounter drawings or other renderings of trees of life. Charles Darwin had an "I think" tree of life where all living things can be traced to a universal common ancestor. It makes sense that modifications in the tree of life concept would be made as evolutionary concepts evolved. However, there are many of them because there is little agreement; they do not work. Clinton Richard Dawkins tried his hand at making predictions with them. Burning down Darwin's tree of life, unmodified version is at Wikimedia Commons Dr. Dawkins made predictions based on two common ToL versions. One tree is based on the science of genetics that was pioneered by creationist Gregor Mendel (peas be upon him). Another uses physical characteristics. The trees do not coincide very well. Dawkins made a prediction for both design and for evolution. Since there's a huge amount of genetic data now available, his predict
