“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...
Read MoreOver-Engineered??
“There’s a fundamental principle at issue here. If something is over-engineered, does that not mean that it must have been engineered in the first place? And if it was engineered, does that not imply an engineer who designed and built the creature? No wonder even evolutionists can’t help but use language noting that the crocodylian lungs are “complex and appear very well designed” and marvel that alligators have “such a complex musculo-skeletal system”. Complexity,...
Read MoreChance – Beauty??
“What are the odds that something painted by Rembrandt will be beautiful, potent, and worth hanging on your wall? It’s a sure thing. Bet on it. Chance has nothing to do with Rembrandt. Chance has nothing to do with anything as far as I can tell, thank God. If he did, this world would look worse than a canvas by Jackson Pollock.” – N.D. Wilson, Notes From The Tilt-A-Whirl, 2013. This Creation Nugget was discovered by a student volunteer – Jane! If you would like to...
Read MoreBy Chance??
“While traveling in outer space, Michael Collins, Apollo 11 astronaut, made a fascinating discovery about our planet. He said, “…I looked out my window and tried to find Earth. The little planet is so small out there in the vastness that at first, I couldn’t even locate it. And when I did, a tingling of awe spread over me. There it was, shining like a jewel against the black sky. I looked at it in wonderment, suddenly aware of how its...
Read MoreTurtle Time #5: Turtles – Hopeful Monsters!!
“Systematist and reptile expert Olivier Rieppel stated that a big “problem for an evolutionary biologist is to explain these transformations in the context of a gradualistic process.” Rieppel concludes that turtles could not have evolved by any gradual process, so they must be an example of ‘hopeful monsters’, a result of major mutations that cause very rapid evolution called punctuated equilibrium.” Read this AMAZING article here:...
Read MoreTurtle Time #4: Designed Turtle Shells!!
“The shell design suggests “daring architectural design with innovative engineering.” Although the main function of the turtle shell is protection, it also serves as a reservoir for water, fat, and wastes and also functions as an effective pH buffer.” Read this AMAZING article here: https://creation.com/pappochelys-turtle-evolution Picture from: https://pixabay.com/vectors/cartoon-green-sea-turtle-2027744/ accessed...
Read MoreTurtle Time #3: No Conclusive Turtle Transitional Fossils!!
– Even a supposed 220 million years ago, turtles had clear shells and look like modern turtles!! “More fossils and more research has only resulted in biologists telling “dueling stories of how turtles got their shells”.” “A huge chasm exists between turtles and their proposed reptilian ancestors. The latest claims of evolutionary links totally fail to bridge this large gap. The origin of turtles remains one of the most problematic claims of evolution and all efforts...
