At a forum on depression a young man said, “I think some people may have an inability to cope and maybe, this might sound a bit extreme, that might be Darwinian theory, the Darwin theory of survival of the fittest. Maybe some of us aren’t meant to survive, maybe some of us are meant to kill ourselves.” Now why did this young man think human life has such little value? Perhaps he’d heard people like Oxford Professor Dr Peter Atkins who said, “We are just a bit of slime on the planet.” Likewise, psychologist Susan Blackmore said, “If you really

Most people don’t like to be told they have a big head, but some scientists might actually consider that a compliment. Humans have much large skulls than apes and since humans are much more intelligent there’s been a long-standing belief that skull size indicates level of intelligence. That’s why evolutionists tend to interpret larger ape skulls as advanced apes and smaller human skulls as sub human. But this evolutionary story has multiple problems. Neandertals were supposedly primitive, often portrayed as sub-human, but their skulls are actually bigger than ours. Also the winner of the 1921 Nobel Prize for literature had

A meteorite supposedly hit Mexico, 65 million years ago, causing the extinction of dinosaurs but someone forgot to tell the duck-billed Hadrosaur. According to research published by the Geological society of America was discovered near the impact site in strata some evolutionists claim are 64 million years old. That’s one million years after the meteorite hit. The idea that dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago has lots of problems but entrenched ideas are hard to dislodge. Dinosaur researcher Dr Mary Schweitzer recently found soft looking blood vessels and red blood cells in bones of T-Rex. She said, “This is

Calling someone a “flat-earthier” defiantly isn’t a compliment but many people believe that, in the past, the church taught that the earth is flat. Historian Jeffrey Burton Russell put this myth to rest in his definitive book “Inventing the Flat Earth.” He could only find five obscure writers in the first fifteen hundred years of the Christian era, who denied the earth was a globe. What’s more, science historian John Heilbron documented in his book, “The Sun in the Church,” that the church actually supported astronomers by letting them use cathedrals as solar observatories. The Bible itself makes some intriguing

In recent years, NASA probes have sent back images of our nearest planet Mars. These images have prompted some scientists to suggest that a global flood once carved the Martian landscape, even though no liquid water has yet been found. The Bible records and event that certainly sounds like a global flood on Earth. Genesis records that, “All the mountains under the heavens were covered.” Jesus himself, referring to those not on Noah’s Ark, said, “The flood came and took them all away.” Unlike the illusive water on Mars, water covers 70% of the earth’s surface and water deposited sedimentary

How did the peacock get such a spectacular tail? Bothered by this question, Charles Darwin wrote: ‘The sight of a feather in a peacock’s tail, whenever I gaze at it, makes me sick!’ Some time later, though, Darwin proposed his ‘theory of sexual selection’ which basically says that the peacock evolved its exotic tail to attract a mate, thus helping it produce more offspring and thus increasing the numbers with attractive tails. But a recent critical review, published in the prestigious journal Science, has pointed out that the theory has ‘fatal problems’ and ‘needs to be replaced’. However, other evolutionary

Calling someone a mutant is an insult because mutations, which are copying mistakes in DNA, are almost always bad. In fact, we know many mutations by the diseases they cause and, to make matters worse, more mutations are added to the genome every year. In his recent book Genetic Entropy and the Mystery of the Genome former Cornell University professor Dr John Sanford points out the seriousness of this problem. He shows that mutations are rapidly decaying the information within the human genome. However, this is surprising because, according to evolutionary theory, mutations coupled with natural selection is the means

Half a century ago, Nobel Prize winning biologist Sir Peter Medawar made a startling comment. He declared that the survival of a child in a mother’s womb contradicted immunological laws. Since the immune system normally detects foreign tissue and attacks it you’d expect the immune system to attack the genetically distinct child within her. Well, we now know that it actually does but the baby survives by putting up a very specific defense. Researchers at the medical college of Georgia discovered that mammalian embryos produce a special enzyme that suppresses the mother’s killer T-cell action. The human embryo starts to

Evolutionists tell us that the information in the first living cell just appeared by itself, with no intelligent input required. But is that possible? The answer is a resounding no.
