How did it survive degradation??
Mutations within living things are not making life more complicated – in fact, evidence is showing that they start out more complicated! “The “interactome” of life — the set of gene regulatory networks and protein interactions — must survive perturbations to keep organisms alive. Mutations do not construct new complex machines. This study says that they “gum up the works.” Unless species “from bacteria to primates” had pre-existing strategies to backup and survive...
Read MoreCan the Speed of Light Change?
Short answer: Probably not! “Because the speed of light is tied to other fundamental constants (most critically the dimensionless fine structure constant), a varying speed of light in the past would have implications on what we see now unless the laws of physics were different in the past.” “Although creationists can account for a change in the speed of light (we have a miracle worker), most creationist astronomers suggest alternative theories as a...
Read MoreWoah – what happened there?!?!…At the speed of sound??
“Alhambra Rock juts up northeast of Monument Pass, an errant monument with a very unusual origin. It is one of several diatremes in the region. It formed about 30 million years ago when a gas-driven vortex of material blasted upward from below Earth’s crust. It contains pieces of Earth’s mantle and of the rocks it punched through. Possibly moving faster than the speed of sound, the material probably followed old Precambrian faults. The rock is kimberlite, the type of...
Read MoreThe Only Real Solution!
“A large part of CRT [Critical Race Theory] is the ungodly idea that we must instruct people to see and judge people based on the melanin level in their skin, which is the opposite of what Scripture teaches. All people are descendants of Adam, and we are all made in God’s image. Our true problem is sin, which includes prejudice and racism, and the solution is the same for all of us—the gospel of Jesus Christ. Ironically, critical race theory is also the exact...
Read MoreHorrible Effects of Evolutionary Thinking!
“The late Stephen Jay Gould, a leading evolutionist of the 20th century, acknowledged that acceptance of evolution spurred the rapid growth of racism: “Biological arguments for racism may have been common before 1859, but they increased by orders of magnitude following the acceptance of evolutionary theory. The litany is familiar: cold, dispassionate, objective, modern science shows us that races can be ranked on a scale of superiority. If this offends...
Read MoreHuge Gap – aka No Good Evidence for the Origin of Languages!
“Studies have shown that animals that respond to commands do so based on vocal tones rather than the spoken words. Thus, all attempts to solve the evolutionary origin of language have failed. Every child that learns how to speak learns from someone who already knows how to speak. There do not seem to be any exceptions to this rule. Feral children who grow up without contact with spoken language did not learn to speak until they came into contact with speaking...
Read MoreDid the Church Fathers Believe in a Young Earth?
Hugh Ross has claimed that numerous church fathers held old-earth viewpoints, but listen to what a couple of old-earth Christians themselves admit: “In his book Creation and Time (Colorado Springs: Navpress, 1994), astrophysicist and Christian apologist Hugh Ross conveyed the impression that there was a wide range of opinions about the nature of the creation days in the early church. He maintained that “writing later in the third century, Lactantius (c. AD 250-325),...
Read MoreThe Endosymbiosis Theory – Is it realistic?
Some evolutionists have postulated that simpler forms of life (ancient early cells) engulfed other simpler forms of life (two common examples hypothesized are mitochondria and chloroplasts) to become bigger and more complex cells – like eukaryotic cells today. Is that really possible?? Can one simpler blob of life with specific evolved genetic code engulf another simpler blob of life with it’s own specific evolved genetic code and then the host would have to...
Read MoreStory Time – This Pastor’s Answer Shocked Me!!
In keeping with the post from yesterday, I couldn’t believe what I heard from a pastor. Recently while hiking in the Grand Canyon with Jackson Hole Bible College students, I heard one of the students talking with a gentleman on the trail. I heard the gentleman say “I am an evolutionist.” That got my attention! In talking with him, he said that he is a pastor of a church. We tried reasoning with him that Evolution and Genesis don’t fit – and he agreed with that, but...
Read MoreIs Science Only About Natural Explanations??
“Science does deal with non-observable, intelligent causes where it suits the practitioners—for example, forensic science is all about finding evidence that ‘person X poisoned person Y with strychnine’, for example (natural causes cannot account for person Y’s body containing strychnine, so someone, an intelligent agent, was responsible). Likewise, the SETI program is tacit agreement that science can tell the difference between natural causes and intelligent causes...
