How would you respond to this: “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.” First of all…what makes it extraordinary? “The term ‘extraordinary’ is subjective, and entirely dependent on your starting assumptions.” Second, “insist that a reasonable and fair standard of evidence be applied—the same standards that are used in other areas.” Third, don’t expect “that the skeptic will suddenly ‘see the light’ just because you mention things like early independent...
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 MoreA lot of evidence or not?
Scientists claim that they have found 360+ fossil specimens of Australopithecus – that is Lucy and her family. Lucy has been regarded as good evidence of evolution from ape-like creatures to humans, but it looks like Lucy and her family have been taken out of the human evolutionary tree – meaning that they are simply a side branch and not in our lineage. “The australopithecines known over the last several decades…are now irrevocably removed from a place in the evolution of...
Read More“There is no evidence for a ‘Young Earth’!” – Or is there?
“There is much powerful and positive evidence for a young earth, including dinosaur soft tissue discovered in dinosaur bones supposedly hundreds of millions of years in age; or the presence of carbon 14 in diamonds, coal, oil and other fossils; or global geological formations that can only be explained by invoking continental scale catastrophic flooding, such as planation surfaces, and water gaps; or the amount of salt in the world’s oceans, etc. For an extensive...
Read MoreThe Evolutionary Emperor’s New Clothes!
“Paleontologists just were not seeing the expected changes in their fossils as they pursued them up through the rock record. … That individual kinds of fossils remain recognizably the same throughout the length of their occurrence in the fossil record had been known to paleontologists long before Darwin published his Origin. Darwin himself, … prophesied that future generations of paleontologists would fill in these gaps by diligent search … One...
Read MoreStasis & Sudden Appearance – Evidence of Evolution? – No.
“The history of most fossil species include two features particularly inconsistent with gradualism: 1) Stasis – most species exhibit no directional change during their tenure on earth. They appear in the fossil record looking much the same as when they disappear; morphological change is usually limited and directionless; 2) Sudden appearance – in any local area, a species does not arise gradually by the steady transformation of its ancestors; it appears...
Read MoreT-Rex might have had a Christmas Tree!!
This yet again not showing any evidence for evolution! “If you were to travel back in time 100 million years to look for your Christmas tree, you would find firs nearly identical to the ones sold today. New research shows that the genome of conifers . . . has hardly changed since the days of the dinosaurs.” https://www.cbsnews.com/news/christmas-trees-genes-date-to-dinosaur-age/
Read More“I Live By Science…Not Faith!!”
How would you respond to the following statement? “Christians only believe based on faith. Evolutionists use evidence and reasoning.” In conversation, as we were talking about this, one good argument that we might use is that there are many people that believe in Evolution basically only on faith – having not based their belief on evidence and reasoning. So ultimately, there are some Christians that have not studied and take their position by faith, but the same is...
Read MoreHow do we best interpret ancient human archaeology?
Here is a great article showing the difficulty and assumptions necessary of dating stone age man. Use this as a reference for best interpreting human history. It shows evidence of how different “stages” of human innovation that has supposed occurred over tens or hundreds of thousands of years could be understood better as actually contemporaneous groups of dispersing people within only a few thousand years till now since the flood. In fact, the article gives evidence...
Read MoreAre Creationists Against Science? Are We “Science-Stoppers”?
“Instead, tissue remaining in dinosaur bones is far more consistent with an age of thousands of years. While this is contrary to popular teachings, science is driven by discoveries that challenge the status quo of our understanding and open doors to new conclusions. Dismissing data that does not fit with current thinking always has the potential to be a “science stopper”—freezing the state of knowledge on a specific subject. It also can discourage critical analysis...
Read MoreCan Dino Proteins Last 65 Million Years?
Or is this good evidence that it is not that old?? “He acknowledges that certain conditions may slow the rate of degradation, “but not by a lot.”19 “Since proteins decay in an orderly fashion,” he considers it very unlikely that any condition “could arrest protein degradation for tens of millions of years.”20 In other words, Dr. Collins knows proteins are far from immortal. Thus, he faces the conundrum of his evolutionist position: protein cannot last millions of...
Read MoreAngular Momentum – a BIG Problem for a Natural Solar System Formation!
“Consider our sun with a mass representing 99.86% of the mass of the solar system but only 1% of its angular momentum.7 The planets on the other hand have a total combined mass of only 0.14% of the mass of the solar system yet 99% of its angular momentum (mostly in Jupiter). Most of the angular momentum of any solar system must reside initially in the central core of the collapsing cloud, which eventually becomes the star, according to the theory. Basic physics tells...
