It seems that our Creator likes numbers, since he made so many of them. He gave us various forms of mathematics that are used extensively in astronomy (and elsewhere). Consider that all of those stars have names (Isaiah 40:26, Psalm 147:4). It is estimated that there are 200 sextillion stars. Scientists use those mind-boggling numbers on a regular basis, including astronomers, geologists, and even biologists. Someone suggested that people should stop saying million  for emphasis because the average person really cannot grasp such a number. DNA, Pixabay /  Gerd Altmann (geralt) Going the other way, people can understand seconds and minutes. When the numbers build up, they can be surprising. How many seconds back from July 25, 2025 did George Washington live? Over 9,259,000,000. A few decades ago, computer memory devices of significant volume were huge. Nowadays, portable memory of multiple terabytes can be tucked into a shirt pocket. DNA stores huge amounts of information ...

As stated here several times, many believers in particle-to-pachyderm evolution misrepresent biblical creationists in saying that we believe "GodDidIt" and scientific investigation is over. Not hardly! Creation scientists want to know how  God did something, and how things work. Meanwhile, evolutionists making such accusations are hypocritical. " It evolved " is a common explanation when empirical data are not available, and they appeal to evolution when something is not actually understood. Evolution is a science stopper — dangerously so in medical science . This is displayed in how they evosplain  lower back pain. Doctor examines woman's back, Pexels / Kaboompics The pain can be blamed through dysteleology on an incompetent Creator, or evolutionary presuppositions about our origins. In stories about the unobserved distant past, our apelike ancestors decided to stop walking on all fours and became bipedal. No one knows why. But we were not adapted for that kind...

The other morning, I was not in the best of moods. Cleaning up around the shed was needed because a raccoon got in and scattered garbage. While I was mumbling to myself and working, Rusty Swingset, foreman of the Darwin Ranch near Deception Pass, and his lady friend Jacqueline Hyde (who was almost herself that day) had ridden up. He said they decided to see how these new horses were and since they had some down time, swung by my place. I gestured and said, "Trash panda's been here." Rusty roared and Jacqueline giggled. Raccoon, Unsplash / fr0ggy5 "I don't think either of us have heard that term before," said Jacqueline. "But they sure are mischievous." She pronounced it miss-CHEE-vee-us instead of MISS-chev-us, but I successfully hid my cringe. Rusty scratched his scraggly jaw and chimed in, "Say, don't you believe they're designed to do this stuff? Those paws look like five-fingered li'l hands." "Well, ya got me there,...

There is a concept called rewilding , which is considered a "progressive" approach to conservation. (When progressive  is used, be cautious of extremism.) The idea sounds reasonable and noble: Bring back creatures (or their relatives) that were extinct in some areas and let them roam free. Let nature live in peace, love, and grooviness. Extreme environmental views are wrapped in evolutionary thinking, so humans are just another thing that evolved. We are not exceptional (and certainly  not created separately and in the image of God, no siree). Turning wild critters loose can have dire consequences. Gray wolf, US National Park Service (Usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) According to standard reckoning, the dire wolf has been extinct for thousands of years. A company called Colossal Bioscience took some DNA and claims to have brought back the dire wolf from extinction. In reality, they did not have the materials or ability to do so, but the company made modifie...

We are halfway through 2025, and though my unregistered assault keyboards show signs of wear, I am able to continue bringing information that affirms creation and refutes atoms-to-atheist evolution. The secular science industry has an efficient propaganda machine, so people seldom question their pontifications, especially on evolution. I saw a post on social(ist) media saying how humans learned to run to survive, chasing down antelopes when hunting. Nobody questioned this fact-free claim. Conversely, when the world is viewed without Darwin spectacles, evidence for creation is readily apparent. Butterfly on flower, Freeimages /  luis rock Although there are numerous examples here on this site of organisms showing specified complexity and design for their environments, consider flutterbys — I mean, butterflies. Some of them are protected from predators because they taste bad, and other butterflies mimic their appearance. Some types of butterflies migrate incredible distances (using t...

When dealing with supporters of universal common descent, it is often frustrating and slightly amusing at the lack of evolutionary knowledge many show. Worse, they accuse creationists of not knowing "science," even when we demonstrate more knowledge about certain subjects than they do. Evolutionary scientists are portrayed as unified with only slight disagreements about details. Supporters seem oblivious to statements against interest where experts admit they have problems. The situation of a shrew-like tree dweller that is held up as our evolutionary ancestor helps illustrate these truths. "Docodonta Order" mostly made at DeepAI , then modified for texts The usual story is that humans and apes diverged from an unknown common ancestor millions of years ago, but this is not LUCA (the Last Universal Common Ancestor). Nor is it fish we all supposedly evolved from, either. The  hominine (the word itself question-begs evolution) are humans, apes, and lots of other crit...

When people hear the word cyanide , they may think of scenes in spy shows where someone ends himself by biting into a cyanide capsule and is dead in five seconds. Actually, those delivery systems do not work that fast. There are industrial uses for cyanide that include photography, electroplating, making plastics, and many more. It is inside you. Cyanide is an inorganic compound that has numerous sources, even fruit seeds (it takes quite a few to have a bad effect). Now it has been discovered to be biologically important. Hydrogen cyanide, Wikimedia Commons / Benjah-bmm27 (PD, background colors added) It is interesting how something that is lethal in small amounts is beneficial in even smaller amounts. (Doing the research in the first place is extremely difficult because it has to be done on living subjects.) Cyanide poisoning kills by stopping cells from using oxygen, but as a biological function, it helps protect cells during medical events when they are deprived of oxygen. There ar...

The ear is comprised of three parts, the outer of which helps collect and amplify sounds for the sending of sound vibrations onward. In the middle ear, there are three small bones that transmit information from the tympanic membrane onward to the inner ear. The brain sorts out the sound information. Another function of the inner ear is balance. People who have inner ear infections can have dizziness and spacial awareness trouble. In infection can affect walking and other activities. Darwin's acolytes try to link us to our alleged apelike ancestors by examining fossils of their inner ears. Anatomy of the Human Ear, Wikimedia Commons / Lars Chittka; Axel Brockmann ( CC BY 2.5 ) The inner ear is extremely complex with many parts working together. This specified complexity strongly testifies to the genius of the Master Engineer. Like apes today, those pretended ancestors would have been quite at home swinging from trees. Walking on two legs is uncomfortable and tolerated for short dis...

There are many advantages to reading creation science material, one of which is learning about creatures living all around the world. Australia and its neighbours have some startlers, many of which are exceptionally dangerous. Fortunately, Dolophone  wrap-around spiders are exceptions. They get their handle by the way they hide. Not only do they become almost indistinguishable from branches and such, they wrap around them. They are on the small side, and spend their lives up yonder in the trees — making them even harder to find. Dolophone orb weaver, Flickr / P.D. Amara (public domain) The ability to hide is very interesting itself, but something else to consider from these orb weavers is web silk. This is something that has fascinated scientists for ages. Biblical creationists discuss the amazing construction involved in building webs . There is a great deal of specified complexity involved, all the way down to the DNA, that believers in descent with modifications cannot explain...

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen  Edited 14 July 2025 Scientific research is unfriendly to atoms-to-ape evolution, and the icon of ninety-eight percent similarity of human and chimpanzee similarity has been long been disputed. Indeed, it is based on bad science that is omitted from the secular science industry propaganda [ 1 ]. Research in chimpanzee genome supports biblical creation science [ 2 , 3 ] instead of evolution. Darwin's disciples get mighty irritated when people say that we evolved from apes or monkeys. We supposedly split from a common ancestor that looks like a monkey [ 4 ] — but they are assuming its appearance. Human-Chimpanzee DNA, made at Night Cafe , then removebg The number for human-chimpanzee similarity varies by a few percentage points, but usually about ninety-eight percent. Darwin's disciples need such a close match because apes and humans allegedly diverged around seven million years ago. That means evolutionists cannot account for a larger percentage difference...

Make a first, then extend your little (pinky) finger. Place it up to the corner of your mouth and say, "400 trillion " like Dr. Evil. That is about how many viruses live within you. No need to get flustered because only a few are owlhoots . They are a part of our microbiome . Strange thing is, viruses are not considered living things! They can mimic life by bushwhacking living cells, infecting them, and reproducing. There are many types of viruses and they do not all work in the same way. Our sub-life friends are viruses called bacteriophages . Working on a motor, Unsplash / Han Dora Viruses are much smaller than bacteria and are selective in their targets. Bacteriophages (phages for short) hunt the bad bacteria and leave the good ones alone. To do their work, they have to work on the DNA molecules in the bacteria. Not only did the Master Engineer give living things built-in viruses to ambush bad bacteria, he also gave viruses a special molecular machine to conduct such detai...

For many years, evolutionary scientists wanted to know the cranial capacity of humans and apes they discovered. This came from the idea that a bigger brain meant greater intelligence. Some folks seem to believe this today, an indication of how bad science gains a foothold with the public. Some animals have bigger brains than humans but are not as smart. It could be related to body size. The brain-to-body-size ratio shows that humans have larger brains in comparison to body size than some animals. Where does intelligence come from, anyway? It seems that intelligence is a product of consciousness, but secularists tend to reject its existence . But they also wonder how it evolved . Attempting to explain intelligence appears to be an acceptance of its existence. Another question is, "How is intelligence measured?" Dunno. Part of our brain is gray matter (you may have been told to use your gray matter as a way of urging you to think), Those brain cells called neurons  reside there...

The largest shark in the world today is the whale shark, an endangered resident of tropical waters that grows around 17 meters (55.7 feet). Be amazed but not afraid because it eats plankton. Something that might have kept people cautious when swimming was  Otodus megalodon . New information on megalodon has been issued where it could have grown up to 24.3 meters (80 feet), and it apparently was a predator that would eat lots of things, including other predators. It could have lived for hundreds of years, so it did not reach maturity any time soon. Otodus megalodon , The Royal Society Publishing / Jose L. Herraiz et al ( CC BY 4.0 ) Biblical creationists are interested in growth calculations for the megalodon because of how humans and organisms lived for extended periods until after the Genesis Flood. More data are needed to be certain of calculations, but it is also reasonable to compare their size (and therefore age) to the Greenland shark for reference. Fossil remains of the gia...

Atheists and other evolutionists have a tendency to use the word evolution  loosely, conflating change  and variation  with universal common ancestry. That bait 'n' switch trick is used to fool people into believing that Darwin was right, so there is no Creator. If anti-creationists bothered to learn what we believe and teach, they would learn that natural selection , speciation, and other variations are accepted by most creation science models. Also, many evolutionists misunderstand and misrepresent natural selection. Consider the alleged evolution of Burmese pythons in the Florida Everglades. Burmese python in Everglades (slightly cropped), USFWS / Susan Jewell ( CC BY 2.0 ) These big snakes are native to Southeast Asia (the name kind of gives that away), but some people illegally have them in Florida . (I wonder how many pythons there were named Monty? Just something I had to squeeze in here.) They escape or get turned loose, and are an invasive species that causes ha...

The existence of soft tissues in dinosaur fossils has been a tremendous problem for evolutionists, so they have spent a great deal of time working at the fudge factory. (That is, fudging rescuing devices for the problem.) Some appear to mitigate the damage when important details are omitted. A one-off anomaly or two could be set aside, but there are numerous examples of blood vessels, proteins, DNA, and all that good stuff existing for alleged millions of years. Reality sits at the back of the narrative bus; the story is more important. Some scientists as well as Darwin's Flying Monkeys™ on teh interwebz denied their existence at first, but many are finally admitting the existence of soft tissues. They cannot get past biblical creationists who point out the facts and implications. Smug evolutionists have come up with yet another rescuing device called crosslinking . They think they can keep their deep time and use it to evosplain other things dear to their cold hearts. Logic? No t...

It is interesting that atheists and other evolutionists strongly react to biblical creationists discussing created kinds , almost as if the current system of taxonomy was devised by a higher power. Ironically, this system used by secularists was originally developed by Carl Linnaeus, who was a creationist. Nobody seems to be advocating the replacement of the current system. It is pretty useful for reference points. Biblical creationists study the created kinds (baraminology), and most of them place kind  near the family  level of current taxonomy. Basement Cat photo by Cowboy Bob Sorensen, enhanced with FotoSketcher It may come as a shock to some people, but facts can fit opposing models; "Their" facts and "our" facts is false. Natural selection is an accepted part of most creation science models, for example. We also have no problem with speciation and hybridization. Creationists have the cat kind, dog kind, horse kind, and so on. There are variations within them ...

Some folks consider Elon Musk a visionary, making long-held hopes of going to Mars seem possible. It appears that he is not consulting with scientists about the journey. Radiation from the earth to the moon was bad enough, but traveling  farther away could be disastrous to travelers . Dust on earth gets unsightly and makes people sneeze. The dust on the moon was different than ours, causing problems for the Apollo astronauts. It could conceivably tear their suits, and it was a great concern for protecting their equipment. Then there is Mars dust. Curiosity rover takes pictures of Mars dust storm, NASA / JPL-Caltech / MSSS (usage does not imply endorsement) Aside from looking for life and trying to support dust-to-Darwin evolution, devices sent to Mars did some analysis of the land. That dust contains dangerous chemicals. It also has electrostatic charges. Also, some of it is so fine, particles cannot be coughed out of the lungs. To make things worse, it moves. There are huge dust ...

After a spell of target practice with my .44-40 Winchester (same loads for rifle and pistol), I saddled up and rode into town for gun maintenance supplies and ammo. While there, I encountered Russell Watchtower, who heads up the Ministry of Truth at the Darwin Ranch. We  went into the local eatery for lunch. I had burger steak and eggs, and Russ had beef liver with onions. In my childhood days, I couldn't stand liver. My parents let me have a hamburger instead. "I wonder if cannibals eat livers," I mused. Human liver, Wikimedia Commons / BruceBlaus ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) "Sure they do," he replied. "Disgusting to us, but our burial practices are disgusting to those people as well. Some ate parts as a funeral ritual, others wanted to gain the strength of their enemies." I said, "Seems strange to want the strength of someone you've already defeated." He stopped with his fork in midair and stared, then guffawed. "Good point!" "You ...

Some folks still cling to the image of Neanderthals as stupid brutes, but calling someone a Neanderthal as an insult is actually a compliment. The more they are studied, the more they are found to be fully human — but some evolutionists do not want to admit this fact. Neanderthals are known to have cooked with fire, had skillful cave paintings, made and wore jewelry, seem to have had religious views — and traveled extensively. In fact, they intermarried. Their DNA is found in people of European and Asian ancestry, more so in Melanesia. Neanderthal person, WikiComm / Neanderthal-Museum, Mettmann ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ), modified at PhotoFunia Odd that Melanesia is in the DNA list. We're talking about an area north and east of Australia, Fiji and those islands. I doubt that they traveled that far from Europe, but someone gave DNA to those people. Speaking of travel, the toolmaking of Neanderthals has been labeled  Quina , which is very distinct. So why is it found in East Asia? Maybe they ...

Some weather channels and sites have news related to climates, and they would do well to post about deserts. They form under certain conditions. The Namib is a desert like a strip along Namibia and a bit north and south in Africa along the Atlantic Ocean. It is actually a cool desert (Antarctica is also a desert but obviously much colder). The air is laden with moisture, so there is early-morning fog. The darkling (or fogstand) beetle has a very interesting way of getting the water it needs in this arid region. Fogstand racing stripe beetle, Wikimedia Commons / Hans Hillewaert ( CC BY-SA 3.0 ) Since water is in the air, the beetle angles its backside into the breeze. Those bumps on its shell help it collect the moisture. Droplets are formed and directed so that the beetle can drink the water. Once again, we see that the Creator equipped a creature with special survival features, but descent with modifications evolution storytellers are unable to come up with a plausible development sc...
