If you were able to choose the planet you lived on, which one would it be? Well, I would definitely choose earth, because it is so well suited for life. Whether you’re considering the Earth’s distance from the sun, or its gravity, axial tilt or magnetic field, one conclusion is inescapable. Earth is finely tuned for life. Many see this as evidence for a designer but others don’t. If earth wasn’t finely tuned, they say, we wouldn’t even exist so it doesn’t indicate a designer. But is that a satisfactory answer? Imagined you were dragged before a trained firing squad [More]
Question 7 in CMI’s ’15 Questions for Evolutionists’ flyer reveals yet another problem area for the story of evolution: How did cells adapted to individual survival ‘learn’ to cooperate and specialize (including undergoing programmed cell death) to create complex plants and animals? Richard Fangrad and Calvin Smith summarize some of the data. See the links below for details.

Dr Lawrence Krauss compares teaching creationism to children as child abuse. He also compares teaching creation to teaching that Santa Claus or Hell is real. He suggests that evidence against his beliefs about atheism and evolution should be censored. Meanwhile creationists believe that scientific evidence should be taught to children, even if it contradicts evolution. People should be taught truth.

Question 9 in CMI’s ’15 Questions for Evolutionists’ flyer has plagued evolutionists since the time of Darwin. Where are the transitional fossils? Evolutionary paleontologists have stated that the “missing links” are still missing and some, such as the late Stephen J. Gould, have suggested new ways of interpreting the fossil record due to the lack of transitional fossils.

When the BBC produced the series “Walking with the Dinosaurs” a few years ago they had to search the globe for appropriate filming locations but whenever they discovered an otherwise suitable site the ground was inevitably covered in grass and back in the year 1999 that was an evolutionary impossibility. You see, until recently, most evolutionary scientists believed that grasses first evolved 55 million years ago long after the supposed extinction of the dinosaurs but since then studies of fossilized dinosaur dung showed that not only did dinosaurs and grass live at the same time but that dinosaurs actually ate [More]
Unless you’ve been living underground for the last few years, I’m sure you’ve heard of feathered dinosaurs. It seems we’re constantly hearing that birds evolved from dinosaurs, some have even suggested that KFC could change its name to KFD, Kentucky fried dinosaur. But not all evolutionary scientists accept the dino to bird dogma. A prominent one is renowned ornithologist Alan Feduccia of the University of North Carolina. He recently stated, “The theory that birds are the equivalent of living dinosaurs and that dinosaurs were feathered is so full of holes that the creationists have jumped all over it.” He further [More]
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 [More]
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 [More]

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 [More]
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 [More]
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 [More]

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 [More]

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 [More]
