Just the other day, Ruby Slippers asked me if I had heard anything from Stormie Waters Meadows and Roland Meadows after their recent nuptials. We discussed the brief letters each of us had received. For some reason, the conversation wandered to polar bears. Ruby told me that way back when, Vikings sometimes caught, transported, and gifted them . Quite a task, and the recipient would have to feed and house them. She also informed me that they can swim for mighty long distances. Polar bear ready to be a polo bear, made with Bing AI Image Generator Folks get all a-twitter about global warming, and they think that sea life around the Arctic will suffer. Scientists say (oh, boy, here we go) that the number of polar bears is declining and they will go extinct. As climate change alarmists are wont to do, they downplay or even leave out important facts. F'rinstance, the numbers of polar bears are variable. Also, they are currently increasing . Then there's the recent study of the genom...

People tend to think of having five senses, occasionally pondering the possibility of a sixth sense when they feel  something will happen or unexplained things occur. For that matter, a sixth sense has been attributed to various critters showing awareness of danger. Actually, animals can be sensitive to vibrations, smells, and other things in their basic senses. So are we. (This child suspects that some things attributed to the supernatural are often our forgotten or suppressed senses being active.) Some researchers think we have about thirty-three senses! Baby Reaching For An Apple , Mary Cassatt (1891) Believers in descent-with-modification seek function, such as survival advantage. The senses under investigation do not always provide a survival advantage. Indeed, what is called cross-domain associations  occur; senses in different areas must have come into existence at once — and they are active in children. What is observed points to the work of the Master Engineer and def...

by Cowboy Bob Sorensen  There are many articles, books, videos, and so forth that have incontrovertible evidence for intelligent design. When presented on various platforms, they are occasionally accompanied by antagonistic expressions like, "Checkmate, atheists!" However, evolutionists find rescuing devices to dodge evidences for creation and the unpalatable conclusions that accompany them. Conversely, misotheists use dysteleological arguments: God would not make killer jellyfish , or he fouled up on the human eye and reproduction . Although creationists also have rescuing devices, those arguments against design are not based on science . They are opinions — and theology. Chess pieces, Pixabay / moritz320 Folks on either side of the origins debate present what they think is a "smoking gun" or " knockout punch " that will force their opponents to abandon their beliefs and embrace the truth. Anyone who is capable of rational thought can see that evolution ...

There was a time when people thought that answers to many problems would be found by scientists, but over the years, there has been a growing distrust for scientists. This has increased after Dr. Anthony Fauci and vaccines for the Rona virus fell into disrepute in many areas. There are moral standards for the secular science industry that the public expects to be upheld. These are especially evident in medical science. There are certain criteria that can be implemented to discern if scientists are providing reasons for us to have confidence in their pronouncements. Chimp says, "She made a good point", made with Bing Image Creator Creationists have long pointed out the fact that science can be divided into two areas, historical (forensic) and operational. Obviously there is some overlap as forensics use what exists in the present in their efforts to determine what happened in the past. There are six criteria for medical science that can be used to some extent in some areas. Wh...

Culture is attempting to influence biological realities, but some things cannot be wished away. As of August 14, 2026, the WNBA cannot define what a woman is . Meanwhile, men who "identify" as women want to play in that women's league. Other people, including a Supreme Court justice, refuse to say what defines a woman. My doctor's office has a form that wants to know what gender I was assigned at birth . If they kowtow to reality-denying culture, I wonder if my medical care is in jeopardy! The differences between men and women exist and are important. Adam and Eve before the Temptation / George Frederick Watts Interesting that this gender stuff was mostly unknown for thousands of years, but has been accelerating recently. It is plain to see that men and women are wired differently. That is, we think and feel in different manners and have different internal chemistry. That remark I made about getting proper medical care because the doctor's office buys into the po...

There is a mystery, a paradox, regarding death and the Bible. Originally, everything was created very good  and death is an interloper. When Adam sinned, death entered the world (Rom. 5:12). It is the last enemy and will be destroyed (1 Cor. 15:26). Death was not used in God's creative process. Yet death is beneficial in some ways. The Creator implemented a kind of cleanup crew to take care of dead things and be nourished by them. Before the Genesis Flood, some folks lived 900 years but that drastically changed . Even cells are designed to die. Skull, flowers, and butterflies, Pixabay / Ron Hoekstra After the return of Jesus, death will be done away with. Many animals are designed to have short life spans. (I saw a video where a woman had a pet jumping spider, a creature that only lives a few months.) On the other hand, some critters live an astonishing number of years. Creation theologians should be able to answer this, but this child speculates that with the fall of man and the ...

Since Benjamin Franklin was a diplomat, practitioner of science, influencer of culture, and considered very wise, it is not surprising that he is still known worldwide over 300 years after his birth. Secularists who try to rewrite American history say Ben and others were Deists. The Deist claim is mostly false , but Franklin? His views are hard to pin down, and they changed over the years. Deists typically view God as someone who wound up the universe and stepped away. That kind of thinking does not describe Ben Franklin's views. Benjamin Franklin Drawing Electricity from the Sky / Benjamin West (1816), PD Deists and theistic evolutionists I have encountered online (I believe TEs are essentially deists), typically show disdain for the authority and reliability of the Bible. Franklin took the time to examine creation and arrived at the firm conclusion that there is a Creator. Indeed, he is an example of what Paul wrote about in Romans 1:20. Also, some people have hated God because ...

There are lessons to be learned from the concept of "junk" DNA, including hubris, deep time, and bad assumptions. Fundamentally-flawed presuppositions play a big part. Believers in fish-to-fool evolution tend to assume naturalism and build from there. Big mistake. DNA just had  to keep evolving by chance and random processes over time. Scientists sequenced the human genome and found that almost none of it coded for proteins, therefore, it was useless leftovers from our supposed evolutionary past. This led to medical and scientific train wrecks. 1895 train photo at Wikimedia Commons ,  Papa Darwin's image is found all over the web, DNA image from  openclipart Notice that this junk DNA thing is related to dysteleology arguments. Essentially, "In my opinion, things are poorly designed, therefore, there is no Designer, only evolution." Spurious evoporn about the ear , eye , reproduction , and other areas are refuted by creationists and Intelligent Design proponents....

The way penguins fly is amazing — if one redefines the word fly . For most folks, it is obvious: The ability to maneuver through the air. Penguins are flightless when it comes to air, but underwater, it sure does look like they are flying. Their movement in water has been studied in great detail. When penguins are discussed, people tend to think of the Antarctic. That is not a pleasant place to conduct studies. (Some species live in Africa and the Galápagos.) Part of their attraction may be attributed to their cuteness  and how humans respond to it. Jumping penguins, National Science Foundation /  Dr. Paul Ponganis   (Usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Penguins can make deep dives and hold their breath far longer than any human. Biomimetics  (or biomimicry ) gets involved, studying this characteristic for human health in medicine. While believers in particles-to-penguin evolution claim  that they have their development all figured out, that...

The other day, I went to visit Hammond Suisse at his spread and helped with some odds and ends. Day became night. We were taking a break, looking up at the stars. That always stirs me on the inside. Canada geese were honking and flying in formation, darker areas against the night. "Do they use the stars to know where they're going?" he asked. I replied, "Sure do. The Creator gave us the sun, moon, and stars for lots of things including navigation," I replied. "We're not the only ones to take advantage of them." Male bogong moth ( Agrotis infusa ), Wikimedia Commons / Birgit E. Rhode ( CC BY 4.0 ) Down 'Straya way, researchers performed some interesting science on bogong moths. Some of these critters migrate 1,000 km (621 miles) at night. Testing revealed that they navigate by the stars. Since the world turns, so they had to adjust for that as well. It is not a learned or taught behavior, as they do not live long enough to pass along the inform...

Biblical creation science is usually rejected out of hand by misotheists and other believers in dust-to-dispatcher evolution, but they seldom examine whether or not it is internally consistent. Our view covers a great deal of ground because it involves theology as well as science. Creationists maintain that God created everything very good  and creatures were vegetarian in the beginning. What we see now is carnivory, attack and defensive mechanisms (some of which are very impressive), and parasitism. Something must have drastically changed between creation and today. Specifically, a Pacific rattlesnake, USFWS / Miguel Jimenez (PD) The origin of those things admittedly involves speculation, and we have to be consistent with both the Bible and science. (Darwin's disciples evosplain with speculation and arbitrary assertions, then pretend they are offering scientific conclusions.) Creatures need to eat, others do not want to be eaten. It is reasonable that (among other factors), the ...

Have you ever heard of parallel dimensions, also called the multiverse? The concept is quite ancient. My first introductions to it was a young adult book The Forgotten Door . In it, a boy fell through a hole in his world and ended up in ours — similar, but with noticeable differences. There are various concepts of the multiverse. A common version is that our universe resides in a bubble, and other universes are in their own bubbles in a much larger universe. Since things appear finely tuned, we are the results of dumb luck. Multiverse, geralt (Gerd Altmann) / Pixabay The fine-tuning argument for the design of the universe is frequently used by biblical creationists and Intelligent Design advocates. A couple of atheists on a podcast rejected it, saying that there is no scientific evidence (they must not look around much). Instead, the fact-free fantasy of the multiverse, a rescuing device for the Big Bang and atheism in general, passes for science to them. This is another example o...

The number of marine invertebrate animals is rather startling, and they are found in oceans all over the earth. A key to their dispersion is their larval forms. Like many other living things, the youngest stages are markedly different from their adult forms. Most of the larvae are microscopic and can live in various conditions. This gives them the ability to travel great distances, often putting full development on hold until the right time. Biblical creationists note that these invertebrates were as diverse before the Genesis Flood as they are today. Rock-boring urchin, National Park Service (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) Many times, creationists describe the way organisms adapt, grow, and other things to show that they are the products of design, not Darwinism. With marine invertebrate animals, another factor indicates the work of the Master Engineer: ocean currents. The critters are carried through the paths of the sea to all sorts of locations. Marine inverteb...

One aspect of science that could be considered to be fun, aside from all the hard work, is the thrill of learning new things — except when discoveries ruin evolution for the secular science industry. Whales have long been subjects of study, and new information about humpback whales has been found. The story goes that life came from non-life, things evolved in the sea, human ancestors are fish. Some critters flopped onto land and evolved to live there, but something like a bear decided life in the sea was better. That is where whales came from. Humpback whale breaching, i image credit: NOAA  (usage does not imply endorsement of site contents) The characteristics of whales show that the story of their evolution is laughable, instead showing that they were designed by the Master Engineer. For that matter, the songs of humpback whales possibly contain sophisticated language ! Recent research indicates their songs may be supplemented by those slaps on the water to help communicate. Hump...

Many years ago, I believed that UFOs were vessels for extraterrestrials. I read in a special-interest magazine remarks from an investigator who said they wanted to rule out natural phenomena before declaring something was a UFO. Similarly, many ghost investigators take that approach. Belief in such things aside, I commend them for not jumping at every chance to declare something is paranormal. An astrophysicist recommends that SETI folks pull on the reins and holler, "Whoa!" when they detect signals. After all, it may be another breakroom microwave oven . Parkes Radio Telescope, Flickr / Amanda Slater ( CC BY-SA 2.0 ) Interesting that the secular science industry believes in unguided chance-driven evolution, denying the much more logical conclusions of intelligent design by the Creator. Biblical creationists believe God is the First Cause of life, the universe, and everything, but creationist scientists want to know  how  he created; what makes things tick. Similarly, Intelli...

It is amazing how denizens of the secular science industry are looking to use artificial intelligence to advance evolution, yet they ignore the conflict in the theories. That is, particles-to-programmer evolution is supposedly a trial-and-error unguided process, but AI requires intelligent design. When robots work well to help us in highly repetitive or dangerous activities,  domo arigato  to them. But when they fail, it is often spectacular and possibly dangerous. Some secularists think AI robots can supplement or even replace humans. Robot tripping and falling, made at DeepAI — but I did not ask for three arms The field of biomimetics  is studying creatures in nature and attempting to apply their traits for human use. If you study on it, having robots walk, dance, and so on is an example of biomimetics. It takes intelligence and money to have them imitate or surpass some human activities. Centuries ago, I was going down some basement steps in my stocking feet. There we...

Although humans are classified as animals ( which is biblically untenable ), it is useful in scientific ways. To use self-serving rhetoric used by atheists and other evolutionists and claim that we are "just" animals is quite ridiculous. Biblical creationists have been pointing out notable differences for many years. Some things we do that are not found in animals are composing symphonies, painting detailed art, sculpture, writing, nuanced language, photography, and more. Many of those things are aspects of creativity  — which is an aspect of the Designer (Romans 1:20). Picture of picture taking apparatus, Unsplash / Cowboy Bob Sorensen Materialists appeal to naturalism and exclude anything supernatural, especially God, then think their belief system is "reality." (Ironic that their reality cannot come from from the science they claim to uphold). Creativity seems to originate in the imagination. Where is that  located in the body? Most secularists deny the existence...

An icon of minerals-to-meteorologist evolution is the Neanderthal, which was portrayed as a hulking brute. Stupid, too, since it still had some of its apelike ancestor in its nature. Some folks still believe that image and call someone a Neanderthal as an insult. As extensive documentation reveals , Neanderthals were intelligent and creative. Evolutionists were forced to admit that Neanderthals were fully human. Indeed, their DNA is found in most population groups (but is rare in sub-Saharan groups). A controversy remains: Where did they go? Image cropped and enhanced, original: Flickr /  Clemens Vasters  ( CC BY 2.0 ) Since they were fully human and freely shared their DNA , they most likely did not go extinct. Instead, they probably assimilated. We have met the Neanderthal, and he is us. Lonely Neanderthal boy sees a group of modern humans and is attracted to a woman. Next thing you know, they married up and he is a part of that clan. That's because they were created, not ev...

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 ...

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...
