Piltdown Superman

It is often said that someone has a false front or is putting on a façade. That is, presenting an appearance that is not necessarily true. In architecture, a façade would be the front of a building that was given extra treatment. Potemkin villages were mostly fictional, almost entirely false fronts. Yes, people want to present themselves in a good way, but it should not be for deceptive purposes. Disciples of Darwin have built false fronts for various aspects of the evolution story. News media, scientists, and atheists present these façades with the expectation that they will be believed.

After all, they did not have nearly the insight into so many things that have been brought by education and technology; the cell is not so simple. DNA was unknown and parts of it were considered "junk" until they were discovered to be important...

If you saddle up and ride out California way, head on over to the Sierra Nevada mountains. Then you can find Sequoia National Park . There you will see the giant sequoias which are the largest trees in the world. People sometimes confuse them with giant redwoods — the tallest  trees. So how did they get up there in such a limited area? There are several factors work together for giant sequoias to propagate. Also, the way water gets all the way to the top is an engineering feat. Finally, their existence and location fits the biblical timeline. Giant sequoias, one on right with fire damage, Wikimedia Commons (PD) It is interesting how in the wake of forest fire destruction comes renewal. Fires and scorched ground are essential for giant sequoia seed growth. The trees have been around for thousands of years, and can reach heights around 99 meters (325 feet). Human engineers marvel at how giant sequoias pump 1,890 liters (500 gallons) up each tree every day. Also, the Genesis Fl...

Several years ago, astronomers thought exoplanet K2-18b would be a good candidate for life because of its atmosphere. Then the negative aspects were considered. One of these is that it has an orbit of thirty-three days around a red dwarf star. That makes for extreme temperature ranges. The James Webb Space Telescope was used to detect dimethyl sulfide. This is thought to only come from life, so it is labeled as a biosignature . It is an odoriferous gas produced on Earth by algae and by humans to some extent. Too much is dangerous to us. Artist concept, exoplanet K2-18 b, NASA, CSA, ESA, et al. (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) A problem for secularists is that dimethyl sulfide is not  only produced by living things. That means it's not necessarily a biosignature. There are numerous assumptions made about life on K2-18b, including abiogenesis and evolution. (Some reports that will probably be forgotten soon after their self-humiliation, lying  that ...

There is, at a glance, an insignificant blob of flesh in the digestive system. Long derided as "vestigial," is the appendix. Because of evolutionary thinking, it has been surgically removed from people. Vestigial structures are considered leftovers from our evolutionary ancestry, so we do not need these vestiges anymore. Like other so-called vestigial organs, it has been discovered that the appendix is important. Evolutionists and much of the medical science community believed stories  about the past without using empirical evidence. Like "junk" DNA , they didn't understand something's function, so they labeled it as useless. The entire digestive system is complex, beginning from salivation. Organs work together. Some evolutionary sidewinders are so insistent on their lie that allegedly useless leftover prove evolution (which is assumed, not demonstrated), they even redefine the word  vestigial ! (When caught going against the truth, use semantic trickery , ...

Ever heard of a scientocracy? The -cracy suffix is familiar, and comes from the Greek. It means rule . Scientists would give information to political leaders so a society could be led by science. That means interpretations, and the the secular science industry tends to espouse atheistic scientism , so that would be a bad idea. Still, elitists are trying to have governmental influence in America. They despise President Trump but adored leftist administrations because they allowed secularists to leech taxpayer money. Leech leeching, Pixabay / No photographer listed (modified at PhotoFunia ) You have probably heard of the Department of Government Efficiency that Donald Trump and Elon Musk set up to find waste and fraudulent use of government spending. The secular science industry is furious — furious , I tell you. They resist the idea of being curtailed, preferring to spend our money on rilly rilly st00pid stuff (see " Laugh Lines: Latest Lame Legends for Darwin  for some exampl...

Astronomers and cosmologists have many planets in our solar system to examine, then along came the discovery of extrasolar planets. Plus all sorts of technology and physics to apply. They must be as happy as a toddler in a roomful of bouncy-balls. Finding and determining the characteristics of exoplanets takes a great deal of work. They hope for evidence supporting the Big Bang and to find signs of life out yonder, supporting evolution. But finding evidence of recent creation such as disintegrating planets probably gives them the sads. Top-down view of the simulated dust tail produced by BD+05 4868Ab, WikiComm / Marc Hon et al ( CC BY 4.0 ) More than one exoplanet is too close to its star, so it is burning away. There is a great deal of supposition going on and the complex scientific principle of Making Things Up™. Maybe something happened so the planets got moved into bad positions. Yee haw boy howdy are we lucky  to be here at this time with our technology to be able to see it! ...

It seems that many believers in universal common descent are willfully ignorant of problems in evolution, choosing to believe despite  the evidence. Indeed, my encounters with evolutionists on social(ist) media reveal faith statements of how they accept evolution. Period. I can easily imagine them writing such misplaced faith statements on "science" platforms with beatific smiles and genuflection. Are such true believers denying the facts, such as how scientists cannot explain the origins of feathers? They have been studying them for a mighty long time, you know. Feathers up close, Pexels / Jan Kopřiva Because of the presupposition that all life evolved from a common ancestor, the idea that feathers evolved from fish scales seems slightly less absurd. Also, there are different kinds of scales, so which kind supposedly brought forth feathers? Keep in mind that a tenet of evolution is gradual change over long periods of time. The fossil record should show feathers developing f...

While visiting Ruby Slippers to discuss the upcoming nuptials of our mutual friends Stormie Waters and Roland Meadows, I was distracted by her pet chameleon. It was a real one, not an anole sometimes sold as a chameleon . This one was fully grown. It was feeding time, which is interesting. Ruby puts worms and crickets into the cage every other day, and I was there at the right moment. She opened the top and dropped them in. "Liz" was the name of the female lizard, and I saw an eye move and focus on lunch. Panther chameleon, Wikimedia Commons /  Charles J. Sharp  ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) "Liz is interested. Watch and see if she —" A blur of motion and I was surprised at how fast the lizard zapped up a cricket. "There you go," said Ruby. "I'm amazed at how they were designed to have such specialized vision  and that it works with precision shooting of that sticky tongue. There's also a suction cup kind of thing on there." "Yes, clearly some sp...

God the Son, the second person of the Trinity , humbled himself and became the man Jesus. Out of love for us, he was crucified, dead, buried, and bodily resurrected. These are well-attested facts in the four Gospels. However, they have differing accounts about the details of what went on that morning. Scoffers have claimed that the differences are contradictory, but such claims cannot be supported. Written accounts of eyewitnesses are available from history. Close examination of the records is needed to deal with alleged contradictions and piece together the full narrative. Four Gospel booklets, Unsplash / alabaster_co Care must be taken to avoid placing modern approaches to writing onto ancient texts. For instance, women were traveling early in the morning. Was the sun up yet? How much of it? (After all, dawn  can mean different things, such as when the first part of the sun is above the horizon, or the entire solar ball.) How many women were there? Were they there at the same tim...

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen  This is being published on Saturday, April 19, 2025. Many Christians are eagerly waiting for Easter Sunday where many of us celebrate the bodily Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Professing atheists think, we are insane. Some say that we should be locked away or given psychiatric treatment.  Clinton Richard Dawkins has said that someone who does not believe in evolution is, among other things, crazy. People like this are presupposing materialism (atoms in motion are all that exist) as the final reality. However, atheism is incoherent and impossible to live consistently by their principles . Building at  Old Portland Hospital, Flickr / Joshua Kruger ( CC BY-SA 2.0 ), modified at PhotoFunia It has been suggested somewhere that atheists form a "benevolent dictatorship" which would help believers in God and gods, as well as deniers of Darwin, overcome our insanity. First of all, atheists are famous for lying — no kindness there, Carl. Second, their track...
