Have you ever seen a fossil plant series in a museum display or textbook on evolution? I haven’t. When I studied botany at university in the 1960s they taught us evolution and paleobotany (the study of plant fossils) but not a single fossil series was ever presented as evidence that plant evolution actually did occur. [...]

“The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology. The evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils.” — Stephen J. Gould
In Part I, I laid [...]

Ever since my earliest days, I was always fascinated with, and collected, fossils. I was a country kid (still am–although the kid part is euphemistic–I hope). There were no close neighbors or friends for me to play with during one period. But there was plenty to do. We had a big [...]

Creation on the Web has a recent article entitled, “Golden evidence of the Genesis Flood.”1 The article starts out with:
Most people would be surprised to learn that smooth water-worn gold nuggets are frequently found not only in rivers and streams but on hills and even mountain tops. For example, several years ago, while prospecting [...]

We must skip back a bit. Then did we discover that volcanoes were possibly, and therefore compellingly, responsible for life’s origins.1  When one is faced with a dilemma, that seems unsolvable, we do find it best to take a shotgun approach. We do hope we throw out enough different ideas to establish that [...]

A common claim of atheists and theistic evolutionists against Creation Scientists and the ID movement is that they lie and are fraudulent in their research findings and interpretation of research. So let’s take a look for the moment at the lies and fraud perpetuated by naturalistic science.
Let’s start with the evolution of man.
in 1912, [...]

My coauthor DB (The Outsider) recently wrote the following comment:
Although global warming now, is most certainly, and definitely related to the sins of man against the Earth, it was related to natural processes then (of which man is not a part of).
You bring up an interesting point here!
A) If everything exists due to natural process, [...]

Creation Ministries International had a recent interesting post explaining the reasons to believe in the 6-day creation account of Genesis. I haven’t made up my mind yet, but I think they do a good job of expounding this viewpoint.

And then as the Earth did get older, it did indeed get older.1 In 1640, the Earth was 5644 years old. In the 1700’s it was between 75000 and several billion years old. Thus disproving the Cretards2 notion that the Earth was created as the Bible states. Thank Science that we [...]

Think of it like this; you have in front of you an amazingly complex machine, unlike anything you have ever seen before, and you want to understand where the machine came from, what the machine does, and how it does it. As you stand examining the machine a man approaches you and says, “This manual [...]
