It is not uncommon for Bible deniers to find excuses to justify their rebellion, but some go further and machinate alleged contradictions and absurdities. These are usually framed as "Gotcha!" statements and questions. They occasionally raise questions that some believers also want answered. One tinhorn, geology professor Ian Plimer, wrote a (now out of print) book called Telling Lies for God: Reason vs Creationism . Aside from the clear bias, he made himself a liar and CMI set the record straight . Jimmy Li has a resource refuting hundreds  of such claims . Then there are bats as birds? Flying fruit bat, Flickr /  Tambako The Jaguar  ( CC BY-ND 2.0 ) While many of the items in the above references can be attributed to superficiality, carelessness, and lack of doing some homework, others take a bit more digging. Darwin's Flying Monkeys™ on the internet exhibit an attitude like, "Haw, haw, haw! We're supposed to believe your Bible, but it says that bats are birds!...

As discussed previously, Intelligent Design is a movement that is decidedly not biblical creation science . Evolutionists (especially atheists) on social(ist) media do not seem to have received the memo, thus telling the opposite of the truth. They also spread myths about the Dover ruling. One tinhorn left a comment on a post that the ruling devastated ID both legally and scientifically, but he clearly did not know what he was talking about. Study on it a spell: How can science be settled by a judge — and a biased one at that? Flagellum base diagram, Wikimedia Commons / LadyofHats (public domain) Dr. Michael Behe's presentation of irreducible complexity (where all of the parts need to be in place and functioning from the get-go) was ridiculed, but the bacterial flagellum is irreducibly complex nonetheless . Since 2005, that fact has only been reinforced. Although Dr. Behe came up with the term, biblical creationists have been using irreducible complexity arguments for quite some ...

My unregistered assault keyboards are ready to face the challenges of 2026, so brace yourselves. On this calendar change day, we have an interesting analysis of how secularists insist that the similarity between human and chimpanzee DNA is around ninety-eight percent. (They still do this even though that number has been disproved by both creationist and secular scientists .) It is needed by the human evolution story for when humans and chimps supposedly diverged — a larger percentage difference makes the timeframe useless for them. Human-Chimpanzee DNA, made at  Night Cafe , then  removebg Although many do not like to admit it, the idea of ninety-eight to ninety-nine percent similarity is based on bad sequencing in the early days, and contaminated samples . Even so, the myth marched on because it suited their story. That's not science, old son. The author of the article linked below takes an interesting approach by comparing the best-understood organism, E. coli . Yes, a singl...

Large numbers of honey bees are dying off, and it is not just a case of, "Bugs die, so what?" Mount up, ride to the top of the hill, and get the big picture. Living things have their ecological niches, and honey bees are important to many other organisms — including humans. They are the most important pollinators to the survival of many kinds of plants, and they produce honey and beeswax that are important for humans. Flowers attract the bees in a mutually-beneficial relationship. This presents one of several problems for evolutionists. Honey Bees in honeycomb, Pixabay /  PollyDot Bees need pollen to survive, plants produce pollen and need honey bees for its distribution. But according to the evolution story, they did not exist at the same time. Darwinists say wasps existed at that time and honey bees came later. However, there is no compelling evidence to support that concept. Indeed, the evolution of insects which suddenly appeared in the fossil record is also problematic. ...

Although secularists will not admit it, convergent evolution is essentially a secular miracle. It is claimed that various critters have similar traits (such as bats and dolphins both using echolocation) that evolved independently. There is no evidence for such traits evolving even once, but the claim is made for multiple creatures. Though convergent evolution is a myth, it is an icon of particles-to-professor evolution. One of the alleged examples of it and evolution in general is the blind cavefish. Darwin's disciples point to loss of traits (such as their blindness) as examples of evolution. Blind cavefish, Wikimedia Commons /  Syrio  ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) Adaptation fits within biblical creation science models, and blind cavefish show several. (One of these is how they adjust to lower oxygen levels in caves.) Creationists believe they were designed to adapt  because the Master Designer frontloaded organisms with genetic diversity, epigenetics, and all that good stuff. Evo...

Here is a critter that does not seem to be famous outside of sub-Saharan Africa and parts of the Middle East, but Westerners who read their Bibles may recognize the word. Maybe. The Hebrew word can be translated different ways. They look cute, but watch out for nasty sharp big pointy teeth. So what is this beastie? It is complicated. There are distinct species that are markedly different. The rock hyraxes (sometimes called dassies ) have a very involved social structure, whereas the tree hyraxes are nowhere near as social.  Pair of hyraxes, Pexels / Guerrero De la Luz Biblical creationists refer to the created kinds , a concept that has some resemblance to conventional ideas. The kind  is generally placed at the family  level. We have no problem with speciation. There is no evidence for hyrax evolution, but variations are clearly seen. The Master Engineer designed them to be able to adapt for unique lifestyles as their characteristics demonstrate. Hyraxes (or hyraces) are...

For a while, the coelacanth was considered a transitional form, using its fins to begin the process of walking. It also disappeared from the fossil record, then reappeared in layers dated later. Whereja go, whadja do? What was probably a backhand at Christianity, they called this reappearance a Lazarus taxon . Thinking people should be given pause because of not only the disappearance and reappearance interpretations of the fossil record, but also the description of the critter's behavior without having seen it in action. The coelacanth has humiliated evolutionists — again. Coelacanth,  NOAA  (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) This fish is endangered, and museums specimens that can be studied are quite rare. After all this time and excitement, the head of one was examined by anatomists. It turns out that much of the anatomy had been wrongly understood for many years. Also, Darwin's disciples say it did not evolve fast enough. Further, all of its internal struc...

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen  Many people say that evidence for the Designer is clearly obvious in many ways, even showing his engineering and planning skills, love of beauty, and more. Even the single-celled  Stentor coeruleus  shows intricacy found in multicellular organisms. The wealthy and intelligent Elon Musk was asked about the Creator , and he said, "I believe this universe came from something. People have different labels." I do not think he simply meant that the word God  is not the same in all languages. Chromosomes, National Human Genome Research Institute (public domain) There are people who admit that the universe and life itself were designed, but they distance themselves from the Designer. Believers in microbes-to-microscopist evolution study things like chromosomes and then gleefully give the credit to evolution. While evolution is pantheistic in nature (is is an ancient religious and philosophical belief, after all), it is not a person and cannot make de...

It may be a mite baffling for some when hearing about typhoons, hurricanes, and cyclones. Are they different storms? Pretty much the same type of thing with names based on their locations. Those in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise and those in the Southern Hemisphere rotate clockwise. What may be surprising is that these big storms have many benefits. (Indeed, lightning striking the ground is beneficial .) That is something unlikely to appear on a news broadcast because fear and destruction are good for viewership ratings. Sometimes we hear about how they form, though. Hurricane Erin, NASA Earth Observatory / Michala Garrison These monsters of destruction are actually beneficial for life on Earth. Hurricanes help the global heat balance by absorbing heat energy and redistributing it. They also replenish water supplies and rainfall, and the rotations encourage new plant growth. And much more. Secularists hand wave the benefits as products of evolution, but study on this a...

There is something contradictory in evolutionary icons, especially regarding Charles Darwin himself. Some folks get obstreperous over the use of the word Darwinism , saying that nobody believes that anymore. That word is a convenience since people know what is being discussed. However, using Galápagos finches' beak variation as evidence of evolution through natural selection is still proclaimed. It was an icon for many years without actually examining the claims in depth. The truth is far more complex than many people realize. And the finches? They did not change into something else. Colorized version of John Gould's Galapagos Finches, 1837 Although natural selection in its true sense fits well with biblical creation science, some creationists reject it (including the president of the organization for the article linked below). There may be things that need to be clarified, such as rejecting the Bearded Buddha's claim that natural selection is a creative force (traditional...

 Way back in 1947,  Rudolph Zallinger completed a five-year project . He painted a huge mural called  The Age of Reptiles  that can be seen Yale Peabody Museum. It garnered awards, and a section was used on a  US postage stamp in 1970  (Scott catalog 1390). Scientific views of dinosaurs have changed, so some depictions are now inaccurate. Unfortunately, his work was based on a myth promoted by atheists and other minerals-to-Megalosaurus evolutionists. The so-called Age of Reptiles is a myth to help bolster the greater myth of evolution. Tyrannosaurus rex  toy figure, Pixabay /  Eric Labayle Biblical creationists reject the Age of Reptiles on theological grounds, but this is not just a simplistic reaction. It is based on the study of biblical texts and logic. Something else to consider was how Charles Lyell, a lawyer who was instrumental in establishing deep time, wanted to devalue the Bible. Not only was the myth of the Age entirely made up, ...

It may come as a shock to some folks, but scientists are not in lockstep. This is clearly evident among atoms-to-atheist evolutionists. Consider the popular myth that dinosaurs were devastated by the impact of a big rock from space, but there are numerous other speculations as to what made them go extinct. Apparently some of the diverse views among evolutionists have been caused by the secular science industry promoting leftist causes. Medical exceptions aside, there are only two sexes; the Creator said so (Genesis 1:27). Evolutionary biologists are getting obstreperous over the truth. Battle of Vercellae , Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, 1729 One side claims that sex is not so simple, as both males and females have traits shown in each other. (Big deal. Some men are not interested in stereotypical masculine things, and there are women who do not fit the mold of femininity, yet most do not doubt their sexes.) The other side of the issue is attacked by cancel culture because they stand for w...

Again, it is necessary to remind people to keep pressure on evolutionists . They have a prairie schooner-full of bad science, hoaxes, terrible logic, lies, and even outright fraud to bolster something that is often called a "proven fact." A fact does not need junk to bolster it, but vestigial organs are used to support evolution. Also called structures, they are vestiges — leftovers — from our supposed evolutionary past. This is something that should shame the medical science community because tonsils, adenoids, the appendix, and others were called unnecessary. Why? They were not understood; an argument from silence . Hammond C3 organ, Wikimedia Commons /  Emilio Muñoz  (Public Domain), modified Most of the organs/structures in humans labeled as vestigial have been found to have important functions, and some of the remainders are disputed. Sneaky evolutionists have even redefined the meaning of vestigial so they can continue to use it as an argument against creation. This sc...

Although modern evolutionists try to distance themselves from their own history, so-called scientific racism is intrinsically linked to evolution. Nobody is saying that evolution caused racism. People have found ways for groups to detest each other almost from the beginning. Charles Darwin's Victorian myth had the epitome of evolution as the white Englishman, and darker people belonged to lesser races that were closer to apes, and destined to be eliminated by nature and higher races. After Darwin's writings appeared, racism was justified as scientific, and it increased a great deal. Evolution sewer cover — do not  use the URL in the image, it has been taken over by untrustworthy folks While I have had some atheists and evolutionists not only deny their racist heritage (and claim that creationists are calling all of them racists, which is a lie), some secularists admit to what happened in the past. A 1973 book collected official racist policies used against Australian aborigines...

Just the other day, Lisa Myworries had a day off from supervising the Winkie Guards at the Darwin Ranch and saddled up for some riding. She said she had no plan, just let the pony have its head and then slow down. Eventually, she ended up at my place and wanted to talk for a spell. Our chin music turned to Death Valley, of all things. Because of mountains, winds, and other conditions, it is a very hot desert with almost no water. As it is with other extremes (like the polar regions), life still exists there. Death Valley, Unsplash / Nick Rickert It is generally accepted that the key to life is water — liquid  water. Excited news reports pop up every now and then that some form of ice may exist on some planets or their moons, therefore life may have evolved there. No. It's form isn't much help. There is ice in craters on the moon, but actually obtaining it would be almost insurmountable. Water on Mars would not last for long. The more we study on it, the more it is obvious that...

It has been long debated where memories are located in the brain, especially since they seem to be in many regions. The more the brain is studied, the more amazing it becomes — and yet, the brain is not the mind; the mind uses  the brain. Although many materialists try to deny the existence of consciousness, they have major problems with evidence for it ( including how it supposedly evolved ). The concept of panpsychism  (everything has some sort of consciousness) is not exactly welcome, but evidence for memory in kidney cells seems to fit. Brain Drawing, Pixabay / Pete Linforth (modified) Indeed, there is a possibility that other cell types also show a kind of memory. This smacks of pagan pantheism (but then, evolution itself is a pagan belief ). However, memories outside of the brain and in cells actually point to something higher: The Master Engineer is showing his amazing skill at design work, and humans are beginning to see this aspect of it as well. To read the short ar...

Atheists and other evolutionists have their invisible friends, clinging to them by faith, not evidence. The belief in extraterrestrials is based on blind faith springing from evolutionary presuppositions. "Lookit all them stars, there's gotta be life, I tellya." Not a peep, which is the Fermi Paradox . Yes, a passel of planets beyond our solar system has been discovered. Those exoplanets are not helpful, and are even harmful  to secular theories . Astrobiologists (there is no astro to biologize, a fake job) depend on planets being found in the Goldilocks Zone. Darwin dancing with space alien in pale moonlight made at  Bing AI , edited at  cleanup.pictures This Goldilocks Zone draws its name from the fairy tale involving three bears: A planet's orbit cannot be too hot or too cold, it must be just right. Then evolutionists hope and pray to their puny gods that abiogenesis occurred out yonder , thereby negating the Creator. Isn't that stupid? It is even worse because...

Obviously, dancing has taken many forms through the ages. Regal dances with rooms full of people synchronized in slow, precise moves. Couples doing waltzes and other precision steps. Townspeople dancing in spontaneous expressions of joy. People in clubs moving to the beat. Solo dancing. And many more. Have you ever seen a troop of chimpanzees doing a line dance or the Monkey ? Me, neither. Apes are simply not built for that. If you ask people why  they dance, they will probably say that it is fun and makes them feel good. Actually, a great deal is happening. Four dancing couples in rustic costume, New York Public Library Digital Collections . 1745 - 1899 Sure, feel-good hormones (endorphins) are being released in social dancing, but the brain is doing many other things as well. Dancing takes coordination. Ever watched a group of Celtic dancers in complete intricate union? Amazing. It's not just the feet, either. Other areas of our brains and physiology are utilized and even develop...

When some creationists post photos of the cobra-like images on the upper wings of the Atlas moth , it is not uncommon for a village atheist to react with derision: "Now I believe in yer gawd, haw, haw! St00pid Xian, it evolved. End of story." Yes, they do that kind of stuff. If this was a one-off example, it could easily be dismissed as a coincidence. Mimicry is surprisingly frequent. Insects can pose as dead leaves, sticks, and seem to have false heads at the tail-ends of wings. A predator nibbles, and the butterfly gets out of Dodge. Dead leaf butterfly, Wikimedia Commons / S herle123 ( CC BY-SA 4.0 ) Researchers studied lycaenid butterflies. Over 900 species. Although the researchers sacrificed their minds to Darwin and paid him homage, they still had a few interesting things to say. For one thing, these designs had several common characteristics and did indeed resemble heads. How did they supposedly evolve gradually over time? The deceptions had to work from the onset, g...

The other day, I hitched up the buckboard and rode into town for supplies. Since the town is small and entertainment is scarce, occasional lectures from officials at the Darwin Ranch are given. This time it was Russell Watchtower from their Ministry of Truth. Aside from Stinking Lake (which is not as bad as it sounds), the town is not near water. Russell talked on the evolution of salmon. The establishment had salmon on the menu for those of us who dine and listen. He presented no evidence for evolution, just assertions. Coho Salmon, NOAA Fisheries (Public Domain) Up yonder in Alaska, fossil Salmonidae were discovered along with other fishes. One is supposed to be an ancestor of salmon at age seventy-three million years. Trouble is, there is no sign of evolution. With fish and other critters, people should be practically tripping over transitional forms (something changing into something else), but the organisms in fossils that are said to be from millions of Darwin years ago are ...
