    Good News. Global Warming Will Not End Life As We Know It

    I'm no climatologist. But I do garden. And I notice that the hardiness zones have been moving north for decades. https://www.climatecentral.org/climate-matters/planting-zones-moving-north-2019 So, yes those daisy climate pseudo-scientists are telling us about climate change. What were...

    Eight objections to evolution

    What if it was? The point is, we know from God's word that the death was. He did not tell us if the tree was. However, I would think that a tree that gave one the ability to know good and evil certainly had to be at least partly spiritual. God didn't tell us that, either. What if it was?

    Eight objections to evolution

    The creationist concept of differential escape is that slower organisms would have been overcome by the flood first, and then faster animals later. I was being sarcastic. Sorry. God's word. Indeed, in Genesis 3, God confirms that the death is spiritual, and that Adam might live forever if...

    The distain for romance, family, and the demonization of sexualality and women in Christianity

    This is true. In very early Christian communities, couples would go before the assembled faithful and announce their intention to begin a home and family.

    The Islamic Jihadi’s War Against Christianity

    Fact is, both Crusaders and the Islamic opponents were capable of ungodly viciousness and on occasion, decency and honor. Between the Kurdish Sultan Saladdin and King Richard the Lionhearted, there was conflict, but mutual respect. Yet, when Richard massacred thousands of Muslims and Jews...

    Eight objections to evolution

    The argument depends on revising what God said in Genesis. God says that Adam will die the day he eats from the tree. But Adam eats and lives on for many years thereafter. If we can trust God, the death was not a physical one, but a spiritual one. The distribution of fossils depends on...

    Eight objections to evolution

    When Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth (very accurately, BTW), the issue was over. Pretty much everyone in the Roman world knew it. Supposedly, China resisted for a while. By Columbus, no educated person doubted it. Democritus inferred atoms by various evidence and...

    Eight objections to evolution

    He was brought up on suspicion of heresy for his claim that the Earth went around the Sun, when current astronomical belief was that the Sun went around the Earth. By his time, no scientist claimed that the Earth was flat. The big deal was that scripture says the Earth will not be moved...

    Eight objections to evolution

    Those are two very different things. Speculation is unsupported ideas. Hypotheses are speculations that have some support in existing knowledge. Theories are hypotheses whose testable claims have been repeatedly verified by subsequent evidence.

    Eight objections to evolution

    Initially, Jews accepted the usual Mesopotamian idea of the world as flat. It had nothing to do with God's message to us, so it didn't matter. Later, before Christ was born, they knew better. It caused them no great concern, because they were focused on what God was actually telling us...

    Eight objections to evolution

    Two errors there: First, genetics, not evolutionary theory, says that all life came from a common ancestor. As you learned, even Darwin that that God might have made a number of original forms. Second, Darwin's great discovery was that it wasn't random. Of course, processes are not...

    Eight objections to evolution

    It's always a surprise, no matter how many times I see it, to find that creationists think scientists says that theories are "infallible." Science teachers show students that evolutionary theory is the best current explanation for the evidence. But they also teach that theories (like...

    Study Links mRNA COVID Vaccines to ‘Off-Target Products’ in Heart Cells, Fueling Calls for Licensure Revocation

    Actually it's coded to read information from DNA and go from the nucleus to the cytoplasm and transfer the infomation to tRNA which produces new protein. This goes on in every single cell in your body. Please.

    Do you believe in biological evolution?

    Are you not a creation of God? He created nature to make your body, although your soul was given directly by Him. So His creation continues as He intended it to do.

    Eight objections to evolution

    I showed you the correct meaning Micheal Behe defined the term in Darwin's Black Box: Since there are a number of typed of bacterial flagella, each more or less complex than the others, by definition, the bacterial flagellum cannot be irreducibly complex. Rather than evading the issue...

    Eight objections to evolution

    If you think polar bears and brown bears are one species, we've located your problem. You see, evolutionary theory predicts that recently-evolved species will generally be at least someone able to reproduce together. As Darwin said, evolution would require all sorts of transitional cases of...

    Eight objections to evolution

    Molecular biology. You see, stuff like that leaves evidence. So we find the same mechanisms in secretory systems slightly modified to produce a flagellum. As you have seen, there are a number of bacterial flagella, each more or less complex than the others. By definition, bacterial...

    Eight objections to evolution

    Two structural gene mutations act to increase the activity of ebg enzyme toward lactose, and to permit ebg enzyme to convert lactose into allolactose, an inducer of the lac operon. Just chemistry, random mutation and natural selection. All observed and documented over time. Observably so...

    Eight objections to evolution

    No. There are various kinds of bacterial flagella, each more or less complex than the others. By definition, they cannot be inrreducibly complex. Even the simplest conceivable flagellum is not irreducibly complex. Here's why: The bacterial flagellum likely evolved from a simpler...
