““Remarkable changes in [both] the skeleton and internal organs” were required to evolve turtles from non-turtles.”” “Another required change concerns the scapulae (‘shoulder blades’), which in other vertebrates are located outside of the rib cage, except in turtles, where they are located inside the rib cage (along with the humerus and several other bones).” “Why is it that uniquely in turtles the shoulder blade lies inside the ribcage, instead of being located...
Read MoreTurtle Time #1: Turtles From Space!!
“The fact is, “The early evolution of turtles continues to be a contentious issue in vertebrate paleontology.” Thus, “scientists who study the evolution of these animals have a running joke: turtles might as well have come from space.”” Read this AMAZING article here: https://creation.com/pappochelys-turtle-evolution Picture from: https://pixabay.com/vectors/cartoon-green-sea-turtle-2027744/ and...
Read MoreBuilt for Speed!!
“Built for speed – that is the design of a cheetah. Cheetahs are the fastest land animals. They can go from 0 to 60 m.p.h. in 3 seconds! To be able to run that fast requires special design features. A heavy lion’s body (550 pounds on a four-foot frame) would not work well on the cheetah’s three-foot frame, so cheetahs weigh in at a lighter weight 80-140 pounds. Check out these other design features: The main design change needed to support its speed is its...
Read MoreThe Woodpecker Shouldn’t Exist!
According to the laws of the theory of evolution, the woodpecker shouldn’t exist. Why? Because this bird is an example of Irreducible Complexity. Irreducible Complexity is a term coined by Michael Behe meaning a single system which is composed of several interacting parts, and where the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to cease functioning. Let me explain; The woodpecker has a fascinating tongue. One aspect of it is a glue factory at the tip that aids in...
Read MoreGod’s Handiwork in Space!
“The whirlpool galaxy lies some 30 million light years away, and tucked inside it is something called the X-Structure. Scientists tell us the dark X marks the exact spot of a black hole so big that its size is equal to 1 million of our suns. It’s so astronomically big that it’s 1’100 light-years across. That is amazing, but I believe the X marks the spot of something more than just a black hole. because if you tilt your head just a bit, that X...
Read MoreStars – Evolved or Created??
“The scary part is that if none of us knew in advance that stars exist, frontline research would offer plenty of convincing reasons for why stars could never form.” -Neil deGrasse Tyson (Death by Blackhole, p. 187.) So Maybe that is positive evidence that they were created!! Picture from: https://pixabay.com/photos/space-universe-night-sky-sky-fog-11099/ accessed 1/6/23.
Read MoreWhat makes life worth living?
“So what makes life worth living, even in the darkest of times? For holocaust survivor Viktor Frankl, it was a sense of meaning. In his book Man’s Search for Meaning, he wrote, “In some ways suffering ceases to be suffering at the moment it finds a meaning, such as the meaning of a sacrifice.” An understanding that our suffering is not for no reason—but is rather part of constructing something positive and significant—was essential for giving Frankl strength to...
Read MoreIf there is true justice, there must be an afterlife!
An argument for the afterlife: If there is true justice, there must be an afterlife! Rabbi Joseph Telushkin says: “It seems unlikely and inconceivable to me to believe that there’s a God and there’s not an afterlife, for the simple reason that in the absence of an afterlife, it would mean that Adolf Hitler and Anne Frank had the same fate, of dying and actually having nothing. And it would be impossible for me to imagine that that could coexist with a God...

If there was a worldwide flood, where are all the human fossils?? A More Challenging Question: If humanoids have evolved from ape-like ancestors over the last 6-12 million years, where are all the human fossils and graves?? See answers to these questions here: https://creationsuperstore.com/i-believe-in-the-flood-but-why-no-human-fossils-by-david-rives/ Picture from: https://pixabay.com/photos/arlington-national-cemetery-2225762/ accessed...
Read MoreDesign in Copperhead Snakes?
How could these amazing (seemingly designed) features have evolved? Plus fun facts – see below! Challenge: What sort of sophisticated equipment and technology would you need to create a sensitive thermal imaging system? Now think about this: Copperheads are pit vipers, like rattlesnakes and water moccasins. Pit vipers have “heat-sensory pits between eye and nostril on each side of head,” which are able to detect minute differences in temperatures so...
Read MoreCircadian Rhythm – any evolutionary steps??…No.
“No transitional schemes can be constructed to explain the emergence of the more complex systems from the simpler ones found in bacteria on account of lack of homologous features conserved across the kingdoms. In laboratory experiments, considerable design input is needed to construct the simplest artificial biological clock; these do not run on a 24-hour cycle. The existence of circadian clocks, with fundamental common design elements, specified complexity,...
Read MorePlanets formed…really quickly!
Planets formed really quickly – within about 5 million years! Is that really true?? This new research talks about how the Earth would have had to form much more quickly than they have previously thought – due to the study of iron compositions of the Earth and meteorites. These scientists make new estimations for how the Earth formed, but it appears that a lot of detail is still missing. So often this is the case: a scientist says that they have figured out how...
