…can break aquarium glass with a single punch, and draw blood from a human finger? A five-inch peacock mantis shrimp. In the wild, peacock mantis shrimp eat foods such as clams, snails, and crabs – all of which have tough shells. With one swift knock-out punch, reaching the speed of a 22-caliber bullet, the shrimp shatters these shells and has a tasty lunch. How did the peacock mantis shrimp’s “club” become so powerful that it can even shatter aquarium...
Read MoreBlack fire beetles love forest fires!
These unique beetles mate, and then the female lays her eggs in the bark of the still smoldering wood. The eggs hatch and burrow into the tree, free to munch away on trees without interference from the tree’s protective defenses. On the underside of these beetles are tiny pits equipped with infrared radiation detection sensors. This infrared radiation detection system can detect the invisible heat rays given off by a forest fire up to 50 miles away! Do infrared...
Read More45 minutes without a heartbeat?
Marine iguanas are excellent swimmers and search for their food underwater. Sharks, however, love to eat marine iguanas and have sensitive hearing. They can hear the heartbeat of an iguana 12 feet away. So what’s an iguana to do? Stop its heart from beating? Incredibly, an iguana can stop its heart for up to 45 minutes! How do evolutionists explain this ability? A creature’s ability to stop its heart requires some major internal modifications. For an iguana...
Read MoreHave you heard of the boxer crab?
It carries around pom poms like a high school cheerleader – but its pom poms are deadly sea anemones. The crab uses these anemones to sting small animals in order to eat them. The sea anemones then share in the meal. This is a mutually beneficial (symbiotic) relationship. The tiny boxer crab, measuring only one inch across, would be an easy lunch without the protection of the stinging sea anemones. The threat of a one-two punch from the sea anemone’s “pom poms” is...
Read MoreWhy it is important to define the word – “Theory”?
Evolutionists say that Evolution is the Theory of how life has arisen on planet Earth. So many Christians say “See…Evolution is just a theory, not a fact.” But what most don’t understand is that the way scientists now DEFINE “theory” is that there are models to try to explain something, but there is only one “theory” which explains it the best. And especially in the case of Evolution, theories are thus often attributed the ranking of “Fact” since it is the most...
Read MoreDid Darwin know…?
Darwin knew nothing about the complexity of the cell!! Darwin knew nothing about the complexity of genetics! Darwin knew nothing about these incredible molecular motors! Watch the embedded video and as one professor suggests “Reflect on whether nanomachines produced for specific purposes could arise by chance when they depend upon detailed information both for their making and their function.” See it here:...
Read MoreHow should we teach Evolution? How should we teach Creation?
Here is how one program teaches Evolution: “In our course, we include many of the popular arguments and evidence supporting evolution. Importantly, we teach about evolution but we do not teach evolution as the explanation for the origin of life and mankind. It would be irresponsible if we did not present information about evolution. If our students were not presented with the common arguments and evidence used to support evolution, then they will be poorly equipped...
Read MoreWhere Do We Stop?
Some say because evolution is accepted Science that we ought to accept (believe) it too. “What’s the alternative? Theistic evolutionists say we must bend or die, but when we bend on something so basic, where do we stop? Is our chief task to glorify our Creator or to be glorified by other creatures? When Darwin trumps the Bible, what are we worshipping?” Read more here:...
Read MoreOriginal Sin – Truth from Genesis
Put so clearly: “We might think chapter 2 of Genesis teaches that “God formed the man of dust from the ground,” and Eve from Adam—but if they were the product of evolution, then early Genesis becomes a myth, and everyone who assumed the history to be true (including Jesus and Paul) were naive. Original sin becomes a theoretical construct rather than harsh reality, so why do we desperately need Christ?” Read more here:...
Read MoreIs This True?
“Steven Pinker’s belief that religion is a by-product of certain cognitive mechanisms is summarized in the following statement from his book How the Mind Works: “… our brains were shaped for fitness, not for truth. Sometimes the truth is adaptive, sometimes it is not.”6 In other words, truth is not necessarily needed for survival or for reproduction within the Darwinian model. Thus we humans may believe and propagate untruths if they serve our survival instincts. He...
Read MoreFEED ME!!
Biologists were curious how the Borneo’s giant pitcher plant got its nutrients. They discovered an amazing process whereby the plant lures rats and tree shrews with sweet nectar, not to eat them, but to feed them. During the day, the tree shrews come to lick the nectar from the rim and defecate into the plant. During the night, rats come to lick the sweet nectar and also use the pitcher plant as a toilet. The plant needs the rat, and the rat needs the plant. Did...

Referring to yesterday’s linked podcast, there was actually a second part that continues the discussion regarding the misinformation from the website Talk Origins. See Part 2 here: https://www.discovery.org/multimedia/audio/2015/11/talk-origins-speciation-faq-pt-2-lack-of-evidence-for-big-claims/ If you want an in-depth look at his research – check out his very expansive article:...
