Did you hear about the scientific paper (explained here: https://phys.org/news/2018-05-gene-survey-reveals-facets-evolution.html) that showed “that 90 percent of animal life, genetically speaking, is roughly the same age”? How do we correctly interpret that scientific evidence? Notice that that is continually the question that we have to ask – and that shows that everyone is forced to say that their assumptions affect how the data is interpreted. Note the following...
Read MoreJust Evolved Animals??
Are humans different than animals or are we just evolved animals? When I ask people, I have found that a large majority realize that there is more to us as humans than simply an evolved type of ape-like creature. It is clear that we are different based on our conscience, morality, ability to critically think and communicate. It may be slightly possible that those are all evolved traits, but given scientific evidence, we want to come to the reasonable conclusions....
Read MoreIs believing in Design stopping the progress of science…or not?
“Concluding that a body structure is poorly designed, as Oxford University Ph.D. Professor Hafer claims, instead of asking why the existing design exists, is a science stopper. The ‘why’ question motivates research into the reasons for the design. When this approach was applied to the human appendix, the tonsils, the backward retina, and the many putative other examples of supposed poor design, good reasons for the existing designs were found in all cases. The same...
Read MoreDid we observe evolution…??
Did we observe Evolution when killfish were able to start living in polluted waters? “there is nothing ‘evolutionary’ in what the researchers observed and documented, in the sense of any evidence of mutation-derived increase in genetic information as microbe-to-man evolution requires. The killifish mutations were already present in the clean-water populations, ready for natural selection to act upon when the environment turned toxic. (Natural selection can only act...
Read MoreThe Unending Myth: Humans and Chimps are 99% similar.
Why does this myth live on? “Comparison of whole genomes has revealed much greater differences than 1%, and yet the myth of 1% persists. Why? Why does Science perpetuate the myth in 2012? In 2007 Cohen cited geneticist Svante Pääbo, a chimp consortium member at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Germany, as saying, “In the end, it’s a political and social and cultural thing about how we see our differences.”2 Perhaps evolutionists will not let go...
Read MoreSupercomputing Bees!
A bee can quickly do what takes a super-computer days to perform! Professor Lars Chittka from the University of London, says: “In nature, bees have to link hundreds of flowers in a way that minimizes travel distance, and then reliably find their way home – not a trivial feat if you have a brain the size of a pinhead!” Bees have advanced computational performance and cognitive capacities, are super-engineers for honeycombs, and communicate directions to other bees for...
Read MoreNot Rotten or Stone!
“Over 50 scientific, peer-reviewed journal articles describe 14 bio-organic materials in dinosaur bones that simply should not exist if the dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago. Many of these, like collagen, have studied decay rates that establish maximum shelf-lives of between 10,000 and 100,000 (some studies) and 300,000 to 900,000 years (other studies). Both are far, far shorter than 65 million years. Because the “expiration date” for these 14 bio-organic...
Read More“None” – Did they really say that?!
Researcher Mary Schweitzer discovered original soft-tissue in Dinosaur bone that had not rotted away or turned to stone. She chronicled her struggle to share this data with others here: “I had one reviewer tell me that he didn’t care what the data said, he knew what I was finding wasn’t possible. I wrote back and said, “Well, what data would convince you?” And he said, “None.”” Source: Barry Yeoman, “Schweitzer’s Dangerous Discovery” Discover Magazine: April 2006, p....
Read More“How could blood cells survive that long?”
“When Schweitzer first found what appeared to be blood cells in a T. Rex specimen, she said, “It was exactly like looking at a slice of modern bone. But, of course, I couldn’t believe it. I said to the lab technician: “The bones, after all, are 65 million years old. How could blood cells survive that long?’”” Maybe she is asking the wrong question…maybe we should ask: “Are we sure that it is millions of years old?” Picture and Quote Source: Dr. Carl Wieland, Still...
Read MoreWhat do experts conclude regarding Information?
“No information can exist without a code. No code can exist without a free and deliberate convention. No information can exist without the five hierarchical levels: statistics, syntax, semantics, pragmatics and apobetics. No information can exist in purely statistical processes. No information can exist without a transmitter. No information chain can exist without a mental origin. No information can exist without an initial mental source; that is, information is, by...

“The highest information density known to us is that of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules of living cells… the statistical information density is 1.88 x 1021 bits/cm3.” “Intelligence is the only known cause of complex functionally integrated information-processing systems.7” -Stephen C.

Read MoreCan You Hear Me Now?
“The preying mantis has only one hearing organ, which is located in a groove underneath its thorax (the middle section of its body). A teardrop-shaped groove in the thorax has a thinner covering than other parts of the mantis body, and under this covering is a relatively large air sac connected to the insect’s respiratory system. Nerves near the top of this sac carry the sensation of sound to the nervous system. One truly has to question how anyone could...
