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:...
Read MoreProblems with Anti-Creation Website!
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 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 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 ...
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 MoreMutation, Adaptations, and Natural Selection PROVEN TRUE!!…But Evolution…?
Changes have been observed to have occurred in Nebraskan Deer Mice! There was a mutation. Natural Selection did favor a different colored mouse population. But the mutation did not create new genetic information, but a change or loss in pre-existing information as we can see with this quote: “Note the malfunction of the already-existing pigment regulator, in this case involving the deletion of an amino acid.13,14 Evolutionists need to find mutations that...
Read More“Why are the very oldest trees the most complicated?”
That is what the secular researcher asked having studied the now extinct Claadoxylopsid trees (supposedly dating to 393-372 million years ago). Its extinction, in fact, is also a big question mark for secular scientists because their fossils are found already complex and fully formed with no more primitive ancestors and their fossils have been found in sand and some buried in volcanic ash. In fact, the ash preserved them so well that scientists could make out every cell...
Read MoreWhy Billions of Years?
What is the need or motivation for the supposed millions and billions of years? It is to find natural explanations for the origin of the Universe, Life, Rocks, etc. These long age theories are motivated to get rid of the need for God. If there is a God, we are accountable to Him. Evidence from science continues to show that these naturalistic theories are still not explaining everything well enough – they still need more time! (See this article titled Time – no...
Read MoreIt’s Like Such a Story!
Read the excerpt below regarding the evolution of bees (we have added the bold lettering). The author does state much of the following paragraph with certainty (much of which shouldn’t be stated with certainty). So be discerning as you read – there are also a lot of guesses, assumptions, and faith/trust and this is just a short snippet of the supposed billions of years of history. Though it is not inherently bad to have a lot of “guesses, assumptions, and faith/trust”...
Read More“Viruses Prove Evolution!” – Are they sure?
Recently, we were contacted asking about how we would respond to this documentary “Amazing Virus Evolution” from the National Geographic (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wy6EmhhR7I). Though there are many examples given that appear to support Evolution, we are not at all convinced. Here are some of our notes regarding the video. You may want to save these notes in case someone wants to challenge you with this topic claiming that viruses are evidence of evolution. We...
Read MoreA Bee-sized Heater!
As we saw a couple weeks ago, it is more reasonable to believe that bees and flowers were designed together rather than evolved. (See post from Tuesday, February 13th.) How does a honeybee, a cold-blooded insect, survive the winter? Bees like to keep their hive at 95°F. But how do they do this? As the temperature becomes cooler, the honeybees form a cluster. Those inside the ball of bees are kept warm, and they rotate with the bees on the outside of the ball so...
Read MoreTragic Consequences!
Did you see Tuesday’s post on the Fossil “Forests” of Yellowstone? See here the tragic consequences of misinterpreting the evidence! “I vividly remember the evening I attended an illustrated lecture on the famous sequence of fossil forests in Yellowstone National Park and then stayed up much of the night with a biologist friend of like mind, Joe Willey, first agonizing over, then finally accepting, the disturbing likelihood that the earth was at least thirty...
