Someone called the vertebrate eye "bad design" (in favor of an octopus eye). Here is one rebuttal. I have more. ----------- Someone who does know about eye design is the ophthalmologist Dr George Marshall, who said: The idea that the eye is wired backward comes from a lack of knowledge of eye...

This short article makes the case that science sometimes makes blunders that move progress backwards for a time. http://www.idthefuture.com/2006/03/percival_lowell_mars_and_intel.html#more

From creationsafaris.com Lazarus, Come Forth: Living Fossils Rise from the Dead 03/10/2006 An animal goes extinct. Millions of years pass. The animal is found living in some remote jungle. Scientists call this the “Lazarus effect,” after the man Jesus raised from the dead (see John...

Richard Dawkins on recent UK TV program In a TV broadcast recently throughout the United Kingdom (and no doubt soon to be shown on American television as well), the world’s leading spokesperson on evolution, atheist Dr. Richard Dawkins of Oxford University, made these remarkable and shocking...

The Theory of Evolution - Part 1. Life Happens According to the theory of evolution, at some time in the distant past there was no life in the universe -- just elements and chemical compounds. Somehow, these chemicals had to combine to form Frankencell, which came to life somehow. (Presumably...

This is a thread for skeptics to get things about the Bible "off their chests". Let's stick with the major items to get started. We start with Jukia and his aversion to a young Earth. Quote: Originally Posted by Jukia Jukia said: "You can start with a 6 to 10000 year old earth. I know, I...

Did you know that evolutionists have no credible explanation for sexual reproduction, because it seems to be at odds with the "random mutations plus natural selection" mechanism. But don't take my word for it. Even the arch evolutionist Richard Dawkins admits that losing half the genes every...

I will try off the top of my head to sum up the major points in the argument against macroevolution. 1) The fossil record, according to paleontologists like Gould, Eldridge, Stanley, etc. is one of abrupt appearance of new types, followed by long periods of minor change, followed in many cases...

This article may help to explain why beneficial mutations have little to do with explaining macroevolution. http://www.trueorigin.org/bacteria01.asp

Were ancient Minoans centuries ahead of their time? Unprecedented mathematical knowledge found in Bronze Age wall paintings. Philip Ball Did the Minoans understand the Archimedes' spiral more than 1,000 years before him? A geometrical figure commonly attributed to Archimedes in 300 BC has...

I have often heard it said that all one has to do to be saved is believe in Jesus Christ. There are even passages in scripture which seem to teach this But there is also scripture which indicates that the Demons in Hell believe in Jesus Christ and yet seem to be condemned to be thrown into the...

An article appeared in Science this past week that reminded me vaguely of my previous experience with human-engineered automatic feedback control systems. This article comments on that Science article. http://www.idthefuture.com/2006/02/davidson_erwin_classic_neodarw.html#more

On the Derivation of Ulysses from Don Quixote I IMAGINE THIS story being told to me by Jorge Luis Borges one evening in a Buenos Aires cafe. His voice dry and infinitely ironic, the aging, nearly blind literary master observes that "the Ulysses," mistakenly attributed to the Irishman James...

WEASEL Question: How many “good” words are there in English for the various numbers of letters, two, three, four, five and six etc. ? What then is the probability p that having one particular “good” word that a random letter change will result in another good word ? San Jose Scrabble® Club No...

This is so funny (yet tragic) I could not resist. Taken from Eugenie Scott's (an atheist) organization website: (Obviously my comments above in bold parentheses) Recognizing that despite years of indoctrination in public schools and the media, almost half of all Americans still reject...

Interesting "take".

We've talked about this before and I have expressed my belief that this phenomenon provides no real support for the "bacteria to Man" version of evolution. If interested here are more details of why creationists reject this phenomenon as evidence for macroevolution...

Abstract An evaluation of DNA/RNA mutations indicates that they cannot provide significant new levels of information. Instead, mutations will produce degradation of the information in the genome. This is the opposite of the predictions of the neoDarwinian origins model. Such genome...
