Fossils in the Wrong Rock Layers?
Sometimes we are told that evolution could be falsified by finding fossils in the wrong rock layers. This just is not true. Consider the linked article (link). As the article points out: Jim Fassett, author of the research of the US Geological Survey, said many would still doubt the discovery.He said: “The great difficulty with…

Response to JaclynGlenn’s Response to Ray Comfort
JaclynGlenn attempts to respond to Ray Comfort (link – caution, profanity and blasphemy). Once you weed through the profanity, blasphemy, and assorted name-calling and insults, there is actually very little to JaclynGlenn’s comments, aside from an unsubstantiated assertion that Mr. Comfort is somehow opposed to logic. Let’s address her points: 1) Alleged Evidence of Speciation…

Cardinal George Pell vs. Richard Dawkins – Some Thoughts
Someone directed me to a sort of informal debate between Cardinal Pell and Dawkins, in the form of a moderated Questions and Answers session. Dawkins came across as insecure, accusing the audience of bias (though they routinely cheered for his statements) and repeatedly asking the audience why they are laughing (such as at his comment…

Squid Lighting System – Clearly Designed
I don’t support the group that put on this presentation, and their purpose is not to show intelligent design of biological systems. Nevertheless, the following video provides some interesting insights. The video is mostly about the communication that bacteria use to communicate both within and among species of bacteria. The video also explains, however, a…

Mitochondrial Eve
One of the problems for Evolutionism is the discovery of mitochondrial DNA. This DNA is passed down maternally. In an article published recently, “scientists” indicated that using various assumptions they have calculated mitochondrial Eve (the female ancestor of all living humans) as having lived about 200,000 years ago (link to article). That number is probably…

>Morphology vs. Genetics vs. Evolution
>Peter Pike made an interesting argument in the comment box of my previous post (link to post). The argument runs along these lines: 1) Evolutionism claims that common descent can be demonstrated via clading, where clading is broadly defined as grouping individuals in a family tree based on genetic similarity. 2) Clading is great for…

>Trouble with Clading
>One of the claims of evolutionists is that we Creationists don’t want to listen to the evidence, and that evolutionists do listen to the evidence. They claim that we are unreasonable in dismissing their attempt to establish common descent by simply grouping living beings with similar characteristics together. They claim that they are not simply…

>Synthesizing Light and Darkness
>Christopher Benson has a new post called, “The Future of the Science and Religion Debate.” (link to post – not recommended) Benson argues that, “Christians can achieve a “synthetic middle ground” in the debate if they get a better handle on the vocations of science and religion and a more robust doctrine of creation.” But…

The Proof Evolutionists Have Been Waiting For
This sea slug is (according to journalists, a huge qualification) part animal and part plant (link). Thus, the slug defies conventional clades. It does not fit into the evolutionary tree. Will any atheists accept this evidence and discard evolution? Probably not. Most will simply try to build a new tree and assume that one can…

Evidence for Recent Fossilization
That’s how I’d characterize the linked article, that describes alleged findings of dinosaur proteins, an unlikely event if the sample were really 65 Million years old (link). Caveat: Scientists dispute findings all the time. I wouldn’t be surprised to see folks try to challenge these findings as well. -TurretinFan To God be the Glory!
