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...
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 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 MoreDo Creationists Believe in Cavemen?
Yes, we do. Of course! “People assume, based on their evolutionary beliefs, that humans who once lived in caves were primitive brutes. But this is not a deduction from the evidence; rather, it is a consequence of evolutionary conditioning. Even the caves occupied by Neandertals show clear evidence that they were skillful human beings, even talented musicians.” Think about it – as people were dispersing from the Tower of Babel and traveling/spreading out all over the...
Read More#2 of the “Seven signs of evolution in action”
People are more often picking the taller and possibly more potent Tibetan Snow Lotus plant. “The result? Researchers have reported that the height of the snow lotus has nearly halved over the past century.2,3” “…But the Tibetan Snow Lotus6 is most certainly not an example of ‘evolution in action’…That’s because here, as always, natural selection7 can only remove existing genes; it cannot create new ones. And now that the Tibetan Snow Lotus population is losing the...
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 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 MoreHeating Up to the Point of Death!
Remember Tuesday’s post about how bees cluster and vibrate to create heat – TAKE A LOOK AT THIS! This is one of my favorite videos! The video suggests that they have evolved this behavior, but I think it may be more reasonable to say that they were designed with that intelligence/instinct. Think about it, evolutionists have a huge challenge trying to explain unlearned animal instinct! ...
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 MorePetrified Tree Rings Match!
Petrified Trees found at Yellowstone National Park have been claimed to be successive forests growing over tens of thousands of years. This time-span would go against the Biblical timescale, but could these trees be evidence of Noah’s Flood? Check out these key details: “The stumps are usually barkless and limbless and most of the roots are broken off abruptly. The trees appear to have been broken off from their roots, transported, and deposited (often upright) in...
Read MoreMiraculously Cooperating!
“Darwin’s theory of biological change was based on competition, or survival of the fittest, among the individuals making up a species. He admitted: “If it could be proved that any part of the structure of any one species had been formed for the exclusive good of another species, it would annihilate my theory, for such could not have been produced through natural selection” (The Origin of Species, 1859, Masterpieces of Science edition, 1958, p. 164).” Beneficial...
