“So—to recap: Lucy is based on hundreds of bone pieces glued together to make a fragmented skeleton with about 20% of her bones. She was pulled out of 20 tons of sifted dirt over a 160-foot area. She was the size and weight of a chimp or bonobo, had a brain the size of a chimp, and inner ears for balancing like a chimp—not walking like humans. And somehow—after she’s paraded around in museums and school textbooks for 20 years—they find out that she has a vertebra of...

Here are some great reminders! “It is not me that people are rejecting. Humans’ inbuilt sin nature is simply trying to reinforce their desire that there is no God. A default position from birth! It is not my job to save people. We can’t and don’t save anyone. Only Christ can do that. We are commanded to be a faithful witness. “always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and...

Recently, someone shared a possible solution to the Soft-Tissue Challenges for millions-of-years models. (https://www.earthmagazine.org/article/dinosaur-soft-tissues-preserved-polymers) I see the advancements there for trying to preserve these chemicals for millions of years, but as I did a little more research, there still seem to be reasons to be skeptical (as we ought to be as scientists, right?!). Definitely a topic that we will need to keep studying! I...

Recently, we were referred to an article titled “Common Creationist Attacks on Geology.” (https://ncse.ngo/common-creationist-attacks-geology) It was published in 1980 which makes it more than 40 years old now. I was not too impressed with that article as many of the arguments are largely based on assumptions and misunderstood Creationist arguments. Yes, it is possible that the long-age uniformitarian explanations are possible, but it appears like there are many more...

If the whole Earth used to be covered with so much water, how did tectonic activity allow the continents to rise up enough with such slow changes?… Let alone how did the Earth keep all its water when first forming? (Collisions of the first space rocks around the newly formed Sun would have vaporized the water into space!) I think the Earth Science evidence points to God creating it! “We find that water storage capacity in a hot, early mantle may have been...

“…and that a complex eye like yours—with a lens and retina— originated at least five separate times, as it is found separately in vertebrates, cephalopods (octopus/squid), annelid worms, jellyfish, and a spider (figure 2). Such origins have not remotely been demonstrated experimentally, and though these designs are complex, their similarity cannot be explained: by common descent, or by atavism (i.e. the masking, and later un-masking of genetic traits), or by sideways...

How could all of those genetics have evolved and become ‘stuck’ within the genetics of organisms before it had any use? “At the point when the modern animal body plans first emerged [half a billion years ago] just about all the genes that are used in modern organisms to make embryos were already there. They had evolved in the single-celled world but they weren’t doing embryogenesis [Mazur’s braces]” (Stuart Newman, p. 52). “Look, when Sherman stresses that the sea...

“The famous (and reluctant) convert from Atheism to Christianity, C.S. Lewis, put it well when he wrote, “If the solar system was brought about by an accidental collision, then the appearance of organic life on this planet was also an accident, and the whole evolution of Man was an accident too. If so, then all our present thoughts are mere accidents—the accidental by-product of the movement of atoms. And this holds for the thoughts of the materialists and...

Former hard-nosed English Atheist philosopher Antony Flew abandoned Atheism/materialism because of the growing evidence for such design in living things. He said: “It now seems to me that the findings of more than fifty years of DNA research have provided materials for a new and enormously powerful argument to design.” This research “has shown, by the almost unbelievable complexity of the arrangements which are needed to produce (life), that intelligence must have...

Well-known American Atheist philosopher, Thomas Nagel said, “What is lacking, to my knowledge, is a credible argument that the story [of cosmic evolution] has a nonnegligible probability of being true. There are two questions. First, given what is known about the chemical basis of biology and genetics, what is the likelihood that self-reproducing life forms should have come into existence spontaneously on the early earth, solely through the operation of the laws of...
