“It is quietly accepted in the scientific community that the advent of sexual reproduction is likely the greatest unsolved mystery in biology. The fact that Darwinism has no credible answer for the origin of sex (typically asking only why sex would have been advantageous) presents an insurmountable challenge to the theory of evolution. I highly recommend this book by F. LaGard Smith, whose careful research demonstrates that he understands the crucial issues...
Read MoreHow Simple Can a Living Thing Be?
“More recently, Eugene Koonin and others tried to calculate the bare minimum required for a living cell, and came up with a result of 256 genes. But they were doubtful whether such a hypothetical bug could survive, because such an organism could barely repair DNA damage, could no longer fine-tune the ability of its remaining genes, would lack the ability to digest complex compounds, and would need a comprehensive supply of organic nutrients in its environment.4 Yet...
Read MoreDeath within History…
The following is an excerpt from an article describing a radio show regarding the age of the Earth. What do you think about the question asked and the response in this article? “the caller proceeded with his main question: “ … knowing the world as we see today, if extrapolating back millions of years, we have millions of years of death (as the engine of evolution), suffering, cancers, parasites and diseases. How is all that equated for if the Fall is responsible for...
Read MoreA New Home!!
“A hermit crab cannot make its own shell to live in but has to find an empty shell to occupy. Once found, he backs into the shell; his twisted body is ideally designed to fit into a spiral shell. Often, a hermit crab carries a sea anemone on his shell. Sea anemones are covered with stinging cells, which release poison and kill the crab’s enemies when touched. When a hermit crab has to move to a new home, he will “plant” the anemone on his new shell. How did...
Read MoreNot Enough Dirt!!
“1,300 feet of dirt is not a lot. Have you considered how little sediment exists on the seafloor? Every year, wind and water erode dirt off the continents, and it runs off into the oceans. Most of this dirt (sediment) stays near the continents. Scientists know how much dirt comes off the continents each year – about 20 billion tons. What is the average thickness of sediment all over the sea floor? Not even 1,300 feet. When we do the math, the amount of...
Read MoreMammoths Buried in Frozen Dust?!?!
Some scientists are looking at cloning mammoths! Are mammoths evidence of an old earth or young earth? “There are probably millions of mammoths buried in the permafrost of Siberia alone. …They were buried in the dust storms that deposited the loess blankets found in those regions today. Some were entombed in a standing position. The good state of preservation of the stomach contents does not call for super-rapid freezing of the carcasses. Rather than food digestion,...
Read MoreDeep layers of permafrost – long ages or quickly frozen?
Deep layers of permafrost are estimated to take hundreds of thousands to form, so how can the Bible’s timeline be true? “The occurrence of millions of frozen mammoths in permafrost poses a real challenge to this assumption. In the article The extinction of the woolly mammoth: was it a quick freeze? (https://creation.com/the-extinction-of-the-woolly-mammoth-was-it-a-quick-freeze) Michael Oard notes that the climate in permafrosted areas was very different in the past....
Read MoreDid Darwin’s Pigeons Support his Theory of Evolution?
“Darwin’s work actually demonstrates how the intense selection pressures after the Flood could have acted on gene pools rich in variety to allow rapid speciation/adaptive radiation from the restricted number of land-dwelling kinds represented on the Ark. The variability built into each created kind thus allowed post-Flood populations to respond to changing environmental pressures (adapt) and thus conserve the kinds.8 Ardent supporters of Darwinism might well fancy...
Read MoreAre Small Changes…Enough??
Every change in an animal feature has to be a genetic change. Every genetic change is caused by small accidental mutations. Most changes are very slight – if the environment dramatically changes to allow for a mechanism for genetic drift – did newly changed creatures have enough change to survive that much more? Are those small accidental changes in the genetic code enough for the evolution of such an information-rich, sophisticated genetic code? Professional...
Read MoreHow could there have been evening & morning when the sun and moon (light/dark separation) weren’t created until the 4th day?
Answer: Light can come from other sources. Turn on the light switch- fireflies – etc. God’s light – HIs Shekinah Glory is perfect light. Keep in mind that he created the sun to rule the day and the moon to rule the night. This was already a pre-determined pattern of dark and light that God placed the sun and moon into. He was the first light of the world (and still is! – John 8:12) The very fact that the Sun was not our first light gives us a “proof” that God...
Read MoreHow do you pronounce…??
I love those passages in the Bible with long lists of names! My favorite part is listening to other people trying to pronounce them out loud! These and the Levitical laws often times stop people (myself included) from our daily reading plans. We may often react like this – ‘why is this in the Bible? It is so boring. It has no application for my life today.’ If it is in the Bible, it is God’s Word though, right? So He must have a purpose for it, right? These names,...
Read MoreExtinct Freeze-Dried Lion Cubs!
They are incredibly preserved and may even be cloned!For such “superb preservation…the processes responsible for halting the normally speedy processes of decay must in each instance have involved only very short timescales, best described as sudden. That bears remembering while we are repeatedly bombarded with assumptions involving long ages and slow-and-gradual processes. Read more here:...
