Planets formed really quickly – within about 5 million years! Is that really true?? This new research talks about how the Earth would have had to form much more quickly than they have previously thought – due to the study of iron compositions of the Earth and meteorites. These scientists make new estimations for how the Earth formed, but it appears that a lot of detail is still missing. So often this is the case: a scientist says that they have figured out how...

The American Atheists say that “Atheism is one thing: A lack of belief in gods…Atheism is not an affirmative belief that there is no god nor does it answer any other question about what a person believes. It is simply a rejection of the assertion that there are gods. Atheism is too often defined incorrectly as a belief system. To be clear: Atheism is not a disbelief in gods or a denial of gods; it is a lack of belief in gods…” “…Atheism is not a belief system nor is...

It must have been a really rapid burial event!! “The scientific team also highlighted a number of other fascinating examples of what they called “frozen behaviours” in fossils: “examples include fighting dinosaurs, queueing trilobites and insects in copulation. These fossils are assumed to result from rapid burial, which preserves individual positions during interactions”. Yes indeed, but this is completely contrary to the uniformitarian ‘slow-n-gradual’...

“So—to recap: Lucy is based on hundreds of bone pieces glued together to make a fragmented skeleton with about 20% of her bones. She was pulled out of 20 tons of sifted dirt over a 160-foot area. She was the size and weight of a chimp or bonobo, had a brain the size of a chimp, and inner ears for balancing like a chimp—not walking like humans. And somehow—after she’s paraded around in museums and school textbooks for 20 years—they find out that she has a vertebra of...

Here are some great reminders! “It is not me that people are rejecting. Humans’ inbuilt sin nature is simply trying to reinforce their desire that there is no God. A default position from birth! It is not my job to save people. We can’t and don’t save anyone. Only Christ can do that. We are commanded to be a faithful witness. “always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and...

Recently, someone shared a possible solution to the Soft-Tissue Challenges for millions-of-years models. (https://www.earthmagazine.org/article/dinosaur-soft-tissues-preserved-polymers) I see the advancements there for trying to preserve these chemicals for millions of years, but as I did a little more research, there still seem to be reasons to be skeptical (as we ought to be as scientists, right?!). Definitely a topic that we will need to keep studying! I...

Recently, we were referred to an article titled “Common Creationist Attacks on Geology.” (https://ncse.ngo/common-creationist-attacks-geology) It was published in 1980 which makes it more than 40 years old now. I was not too impressed with that article as many of the arguments are largely based on assumptions and misunderstood Creationist arguments. Yes, it is possible that the long-age uniformitarian explanations are possible, but it appears like there are many more...

If the whole Earth used to be covered with so much water, how did tectonic activity allow the continents to rise up enough with such slow changes?… Let alone how did the Earth keep all its water when first forming? (Collisions of the first space rocks around the newly formed Sun would have vaporized the water into space!) I think the Earth Science evidence points to God creating it! “We find that water storage capacity in a hot, early mantle may have been...

“…and that a complex eye like yours—with a lens and retina— originated at least five separate times, as it is found separately in vertebrates, cephalopods (octopus/squid), annelid worms, jellyfish, and a spider (figure 2). Such origins have not remotely been demonstrated experimentally, and though these designs are complex, their similarity cannot be explained: by common descent, or by atavism (i.e. the masking, and later un-masking of genetic traits), or by sideways...

How could all of those genetics have evolved and become ‘stuck’ within the genetics of organisms before it had any use? “At the point when the modern animal body plans first emerged [half a billion years ago] just about all the genes that are used in modern organisms to make embryos were already there. They had evolved in the single-celled world but they weren’t doing embryogenesis [Mazur’s braces]” (Stuart Newman, p. 52). “Look, when Sherman stresses that the sea...
