Ceratopsian (horned) dinosaurs appear to develop their horns as a sign of maturity. Some young specimens may have been wrongly classified as evolutionary links. Check this out: “Liaosaurus has features that spoil the idea of a smooth evolutionary progression. Rather, some structural similarities between different ceratopsians are now regarded as homoplasies, i.e. independently arisen and not the result of evolution from a common ancestor. This is consistent with...
Read MoreHow is there a creator God with all the extinctions?
Claim: If all the animals were created, then why have 99% of the created creatures gone extinct in the fossil record. This goes against the idea of a creator – wouldn’t a creator God have wanted to preserve his creations? Recently, I heard these critiques about the Young Earth Creation model. And I think it again points to a misunderstanding of the Young Earth Creation perspective. God created all of the animals. God’s created animals have had the ability (genetics)...
Read MoreCoral – Evidence of Age or Quick Growth?
In a popular evolutionary book, the argument was made that coral growth within fossil corals can accurately show us that the length of days were shorter hundreds of millions of years ago. But from this further examination, there are a lot of other factors that also influence the growth of corals. And that there is still good evidence for the creation model! See more here:...
Read MoreSignificant Overthrusts!
Around the world, how many examples of large rock segments flipping over do we have? “There are a number of overthrusts around the world where old strata lie on top of younger rocks. In many cases these extend for miles with no evidence of movement at the contact. Native American scholar Vine Deloria comments, This concept has been liberally applied when the fossils do not line up in a coherent evolutionary sequence, even when there has been no evidence that strata...
Read MoreThe Evidence of the Supernatural is Inescapable!!
““The only way to avoid becoming a metaphysician is to say nothing,” wrote the distinguished American philosopher E. A. Burtt nearly a hundred years ago in his classic and frequently republished Metaphysical Foundations of Modern Science. Language, conscience, rationality, will, freedom, meaning, personal identity, and purpose — the distinctively human attributes — have a non-natural, metaphysical character that has been apparent to wise and reflective persons ever...
Read MoreCelebrating Darwin to Acknowledging a Designer!
“German paleontologist Günter Bechly, former curator of the Stuttgart State Museum of Natural History, is a world expert on fossilized dragonflies. He has discovered more than 170 new species, and 11 new genera have been named after him. To prepare for an exhibit celebrating Charles Darwin’s 200th birthday, Bechly read intelligent design books—and became an ID proponent.” In response to the time required to make evolution possible, Bechly says: “A mathematician is...
Read MoreHemaglobin – No Traceable Evolutionary History!!
Hemaglobin – No Traceable Evolutionary History!! (in other words: Evidence Against Evolution) “Consider hemoglobin, for example, the protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells. Dickerson says that hemoglobins pose “a puzzling problem. Hemoglobins occur sporadically among the invertebrate phyla [the animals without backbones] in no obvious pattern.” That is, they don’t occur in an evolutionary branching pattern. I would suggest that they do occur in a...
Read MoreUnderstanding Complex Eyes – Evidence for Evolution or Creation?
“Comparing the mirrors with the lens cylinder system, Land says, “Both are successful and very sophisticated image-forming devices, but I cannot imagine an intermediate form [or common ancestral type] that would work at all.” The kind of design in these eyes, he says, seems impossible to explain as a result of evolutionary relationship. So Land goes on to suggest that the shrimp-like animals with different systems should not be classified as evolutionary relatives,...
Read MoreSimilar Features are Evidence of Evolution, Right?? –WRONG!!
“Thus the front appendages of reptiles, mammals, birds, and humans are said to be homologous. Therefore, they must be controlled by homologous genes. The fact is, however, that it has been proved in many cases that homologous structures are not produced by homologous genes!” Read more about this here: https://creation.com/a-serious-problem-for-homology
Read MoreSimilar Embryos – Evidence of Evolution??
Similarities within embryos of different creatures are evidence of evolution – or are they? Embryos don’t always look similar or follow paths of prior evolution, in fact: “The embryonic development of so-called homologous structures is often different—and not just with respect to limbs. As far back as 1894, the American embryologist Edmund Wilson wrote, “It is a familiar fact that parts which … are undoubtedly homologous, often differ widely … in [their] mode of...
Read MoreDismissing without Digging!
This is what we are dealing with – very simple articles that dismiss the evidence from science without even digging into the arguments. Notice how they say right off the bat: “In fact, dinosaurs died out 66 million years ago,” – this is a statement about the past, which is based on assumptions. It is an assumption not a fact....
Read MoreThe Age of Information Overload and Misinformation??
How do we handle this age of information overload and misinformation?? We need to be discerning!! We need to make sure to keep the gospel and its transformative power as the main thing – above and beyond any other ideologies! And “we can’t promote an ‘us vs. them’ attitude when talking to believers who are not creationists—we should be working to persuade them.” “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that by testing you...
