On many occasions, we have been referred to a website called Talk Origins (an evolutionary devoted to refuting Creationist claims) and in many cases, I go on to their website simply to hear their best arguments against the Creation view. Check out this podcast, where the researcher explains many problems that he found in studying the Talk Origins website: http://www.discovery.org/multimedia/audio/2015/11/talk-origins-full-of-claims-but-short-on-real-evidence/ If you...
Read MoreWhales from Bears??
Darwin was advised to not suggest that whales evolved from bears as that would seem ridiculous. The predominant view is that whales have evolved from Hyenas based on the shape of their jaw and teeth. Watch this for more on the Problems of Whale Evolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgEjY4QTU8Y
Read MoreWalking to Whale in ONLY 4 Million Years!
“The fossil record permits dramatically insufficient time to convert a land-mammal into a whale.” Consider here a small and simplified view of the “necessary modifications: Counter-current heat exchanger for intra-abdominal testes Ball vertebra Tail flukes and musculature Blubber for temperature insulation Ability to drink sea water (reorganization of kidney tissues) Fetus in breech position (for labor underwater) Nurse young underwater (modified mammae) Forelimbs...
Read MoreMysteries – Solved!
“Science has told us so much about our world! We now understand, more or less, what reality is made of and what forces push and pull the stuff of existence to and fro. Scientists have also constructed a plausible, empirically founded narrative of the history of the cosmos and of life on Earth. But when scientists insist that they have solved, or will soon solve, all mysteries, including the biggest mystery of all, they do a disservice to science; they become the...
Read MoreSTICKY FEET!
Tree frogs live in trees, sticking firmly to branches and leaves – even walking upside down on these surfaces. How do they keep from falling off? It’s all in the feet. Close inspection of a tree frog’s foot reveals pads with cracks and crevices from which mucus oozes. This mucus first cleans the dust and dirt off the surface to which the frog wants to cling. Then more mucus oozes out – creating a thin layer of “adhesive” to grip the surface. These...
Read MoreHow Did Feathers…Evolve??
Scales are one sheet and thus, for example, snakes shed the whole skin in often one piece. So changes in the genetic code have to happen to change this sheet of scales into individual highly complex feathers. Read more here: “A further difficulty pertains to explaining the origin of feathers. If, as is conventionally maintained, feathers evolved from scales, one has to posit some kind of Darwinian explanation for their evolution from perhaps frayed scales, which must...
Read MoreNo Free Rides!!
Ships traversing the ocean have to be regularly cleaned of barnacles, or they lose significant streamlining and efficiency. Even many whales can be seen with barnacles clinging to their skin for a free ride. As a matter of fact, the vast majority of whale species have barnacles clinging to their skin, and each of these whales are home to their own specific species of barnacle. Yet, the pilot whale is barnacle-free. Why don’t barnacles cling to pilot whales? It’s...
Read MoreA Skeptical Detective’s Conclusion on Christianity!
I like how this detective and apologist puts it: “As a skeptic (and a detective), I investigated the case for God’s existence, the reliability of the Bible and the Resurrection of Jesus, and I eventually concluded the truth of Christianity was the most reasonable inference from the evidence.” -J. Warner Wallace What Do Christians Mean When They Say, “God (or Jesus) Spoke to...
Read MoreWhy are there 2 Genders?!
“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...
