Bill Nye video promotes child abuse under the guise of caring about the future of the world

Bill Nye's misguided attempt at discrediting creationists (below) has become a viral sensation. The most provocative quote from the video:


I say to the grownups, if you want to deny evolution and live in your world, in your world that’s completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe, that’s fine, but don’t make your kids do it, because we need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future. We need people that can — we need engineers that can build stuff, solve problems.
Unfortunately for Nye there are people out there other than his fellow evo-heads who are watching this abomination against logic. For starters there is exactly no need for persons desiring to be an engineer to be taught they are animals. In fact there is exactly no area of beneficial scientific endeavour which requires applying any aspect of the theory of deep-time microbe-to-microbiologist atheistic religious dogma.

On the other hand, and experts agree, teaching children they are animals and removing faith and belief in God really IS child abuse. Lisa Miller, a clinical psychologist whose research focuses on the spiritual awareness of children, said in response to a question about atheist camp sites for children that these Camp Quest campers, some of whom are as young as 8 years old, are too young to attend such a camp. In her experience, Miller said children who have belief and religion at home are healthier and that religion (faith and belief in God) can be incredibly valuable.

Bill Nye, in an apparent attempt to justify indoctrinating children into the religious world view of naturalism, has gone off the deep end suggesting teaching children they are animals is required to further technological advancements in engineering. Even a basic understanding of science dispels this irrational conclusion by virtue of the undeniable fact that evolution theory has no benefit to any theatre of beneficial science.

We can use the example of the air plane. Some have argued that the reason we have air-conditioned jumbo jets flying through the air instead of wings attached to a man's arms attempting to make "lift-off" is because of "evolution". Yet this example of advancement in flight is more easily explained by the spark of life and creative ability given by almighty God Himself! This is the truth which is being stolen by the atheists with evolution as  their creation myth.

Additionally there is a genuine problem for the atheists with respect to science itself. So many of the very newest scientific discoveries are best explained by intelligent design and by an intelligent designer. 

So our message to the parents is simple - to question everything and teach your children they are loved... by a loving God. Teach them there is a heaven to embrace and a hell to shun. Teach them they are not animals produced by billions of years of unintentional mutations guided only by nature's whims. In today's age of scientific enlightenment you are on solid ground when you reject the atheist creation myth of deep-time evolution. The real science is on the side of those not trapped in the delusion bubble of atheism. Keep your freedom and speak up against those who would rob you and your children of the freedom available in the truth. You are not an animal... and the atheists are wrong.

Squid ink exhibits deep-time evolution myth

ICR -

Fresh Fossil Squid Ink 160 Million Years Old?

In August of 2009, the Institute for Creation Research reported that UK paleontologists found intact ink sacs within squid fossils.1 The ink appeared largely unaltered, and the scientists used it to draw a picture of how the extinct squid variety would have appeared in real life. Now, a new team of researchers, publishing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reports that the ink is almost an exact match with modern cuttlefish ink. The age implications of this find are clearer now than ever.
These researchers subjected the fossil squid ink from two samples to eight different tests to verify as accurately as possible its chemical makeup.2 One technique involved vaporizing tiny samples for analysis in a mass spectrometer, which reveals the unique mass-to-charge ratio of individual particles. This data showed, according to the authors, "that both extant [living cuttlefish] and fossilized ink samples are composed of eumelanin."2
Eumelanin—a biochemical with a complicated structure—is an abundant pigment that serves many purposes in animals and other organisms, including darkening a mammal's skin and hair. It is also notoriously difficult to work with in the lab since it refuses to dissolve in common solvents. However, because all systems tend to become disordered over time, no knowledgeable chemist or physicist would expect eumelanin's complicated structure to have persisted for 160 million years—the age assignment given to the rock formations containing the fossil ink sacs.3
The original eumelanin chemistry was still largely intact, including many short-lived kinds of chemical bonds. Using a technique called "X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy," the researchers verified that the fossil eumelanin had the same kinds of carbon bonds that occur in modern eumelanin, including reactive double-bonds.
The PNAS study authors wrote, "Strikingly, within the limits of the techniques used, the preserved pigment exhibits properties that are chemically similar to modern phylogenetically related S. officinalis [a modern cuttlefish]."2 In other words, they were struck by the fact that these chemicals truly exist as fossils. If they are as old as the researchers asserted, then the potential energy stored in these chemical bonds should have been released long ago.
The study authors missed this obvious time-related inference when they wrote, "Our results demonstrate that eumelanin persists in the fossil record for at least 160 million years."2 Their results did demonstrate that fossils have eumalanin that is nearly identical to modern eumelanin, but their results did not demonstrate 160 million years!
Evolutionary thinking clearly hindered these scientists' ability to accurately assess their own results. Still-well-ordered biochemicals are a kind of clock that demonstrates just the opposite of the study conclusions—these squid fossils cannot possibly be millions of years old.
John Simon, chemistry professor at the University of Virginia and co-author of the study, said, "It's close enough that I would argue that the pigmentation in this class of animals has not evolved in 160 million years."4 Would he be willing to consider that the reason why this pigment has not changed, and the reason why the pigment still exists in fossils, is because the millions of years have not actually elapsed?

So-called Science journals caught lying about world's oldest blood cell


Researchers discovered intact red blood cells in the body of Ötzi the Iceman, a world-famous once-frozen natural mummy found in the Alps in 1991. Livesciencecalled them the "world's oldest blood cells." But clear evidence shows that other blood cells hold the real record.
Forensic researchers have gleaned a wealth of information about the Tyrolean Iceman, commonly known as Ötzi. For example, chemical traces show places he had recently been, tiny particles revealed his last meal of red deer and bread, and his boots were likely made by an ancient professional bootmaker. An arrowhead had lodged in his left shoulder, damaging an artery and likely causing his death. Just this year, geneticists sequenced his DNA, finding that modern inhabitants of the Mediterranean's Corsica have the most similar sequences.
But red blood cells from even earlier specimens have appeared under paleontologists' microscopes. Totally unexpected, the bone marrow of a T. rex recovered in 1990 from Montana had what appeared to be red blood cells. Their story was recounted in Earth magazine.

Book Review: The Magic Man in the Sky: Effectively Defending the Christian Faith


With Pastor Gallups' easy-to-read, flowing writing style, his own brand of parables, and references to both the Bible and the natural sciences, the Christian will gain valuable perspective to assist their efforts in evangelizing the world, and the atheist will seriously question and reconsider their "straw man" arguments that run contrary to the proof presented within not only THIS book, but in the Holy One as well.

He turns the atheist mantra- that we believe in a “magic man in the sky”- on its head and explains why the unbeliever does not have a leg to stand on.  With a list of 15 “Vital Questions,” he systematically demolishes the idea that we cannot prove God’s existence, His words, His works, and that He is continuing to show Himself to us today.

Using a fictional conversation between two college students that could very easily represent what goes on between many of us and our friends, families, and colleagues, he begins the book with a dialogue between an atheist and a believer- a believer who is shaky in his faith.  By the end of the book, he tunes the conversation (and strengthens the aforementioned believer’s faith) to reflect the truths revealed within the tome.

Pastor Gallups uses real-world examples to discuss the difference between what the believer experiences and the unbeliever is missing, and the reaction one might expect once the unbeliever realizes his error.

He quotes from the King James Bible (my personal preference,) and shows how it applies to real-world science and history.  He explains how the biblical worldview is correct, and how the Bible and Christianity are unique in their harmony with secular history.  He reminds us of the patent lies and contradictions of the evolutionist, including the long-disproven theory of spontaneous generation.  He shows how the return of God’s people to the land of Israel and their reemergence as a global superpower was not only predicted in God’s Word, but also how it would not have been possible without God.  He also answers the atheist’s questions regarding the meaning of life, the problem of evil, and those who have not even heard of the salvation of Christ.  Finally, he exhorts the saved to proclaim the Gospel boldly and competently, and calls the unbeliever to make a decision- a decision that will have eternal consequences.

The Magic Man in the Sky has given me confidence to enthusiastically answer my aggressively anti-God friends and family when they scoff at my insistence that not only are they missing out on wonderful things- salvation and a relationship with Christ Jesus- but that there is EVIDENCE that backs up my argument that the Bible is a book of real history and predictions that are coming true as we watch.   I highly recommend this book, not only for the believer who needs reinforcements, but also for the atheist who is curious about how we plan on knocking down his false premise.

New Gene Evidence Supports Carl Gallups' Assertion: Evolution is a Myth


The erroneous idea that complex genetic information in the form of genes and regulatory DNA can randomly evolve, has become more untenable with every new discovery in the field of genomics. Just this past week, a discovery published in the prestigious British journalNature has once again spectacularly confirmed that evolution is nothing but a complete myth. While the discovery was groundbreaking, the research paper received very little publicity or fanfare in the scientific press. I wonder why?
The emerging concept that homologous recombination is a highly regulated and controlled feature of the genome limited to specific hotspots contradicts the idea of random evolutionary processes being able to produce new genes.
We also know that the key regulatory parts of the genome that are critical for gene function are protected from recombination processes. This scientific discovery is a virtual death blow to any idea that recombination can serve as a random tinkering tool to create new genes and gene functions.

South Korea to correct textbook falsehoods regarding evolution

The Institute for Creation Research (ICR) reports science gained a victory when South Korea's Ministry of Education, Science and Technology announced last month that textbook publishers will correct editions that contain misinformation regarding evolution. The push for the corrections is being led by the Society for Textbook Revise. Nature reported that the revisions will remove "examples of the evolution of the horse or of avian ancestor Archaeopteryx."
Zoologist and Institute for Creation Research senior lecturer Frank Sherwin said that statement isn't entirely accurate. "Archaeopteryx has always been Archaeopteryx," he said. "It didn't evolve. Paleontologists have unearthed a total of 11 of these specimens, and most agree it was of a single species. So, where's the evolution?"
Mr. Sherwin, co-author of The Fossil Record with geologist and ICR president Dr. John Morris, recently wrote an Acts & Facts article with ICR science writer Brian Thomas that stated:
The idea that dinosaurs evolved into birds is also misleading. The poster child of Darwinian change is Archaeopteryx, an alleged link via therapod dinosaurs between reptiles and birds. However, unlike dinosaurs, Archaeopteryx had a large braincase for the increased motor control and sensory input that were required for flight. Theropods had a lizard-like pelvis that was distinct from a bird's frame. Furthermore,Archaeopteryx had a robust furcula (wishbone), a trait characteristic of strong fliers—one that keeps flight muscles from crushing the bird's delicate internal air sacs. No evidence supports the story that such fully formed wings with fused clavicles "evolved from" the tiny, clavicle-free theropod forelimbs. Even claw measurements ofArchaeopteryx fall within the range of true perching birds [A. Feduccia]. It was a bird without a single transitional feature.
Mr. Sherwin also said that the removal of horse evolution from textbooks is good for science, especially in light of a 2009 study appearing in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that called for "revising the recent evolutionary history of equids [animals including horses, zebras, and donkeys] using ancient DNA."
"'Horse evolution' has fallen upon very bad times," Mr. Sherwin said. "Consider this: Many specimens placed as separate species are actually variations of the same species. That team of 22 international researchers found that for evolution to be true as taught in textbooks, there had to be sudden bursts of diversification—Cambrian-like explosions within the horse family. That's contrary to Charles Darwin's prohibition of great and sudden leaps."
He continued, "Reading the research, one concludes these animals suddenly appeared in the fossil record without the expected gradual evolutionary transitions. Horses then appeared quickly all over the world. Finally, as expected by creation scientists, the skeletal features of fossil horses do not match up with the molecular data (ancient DNA) that they studied."
Students, whether in South Korea or other parts of the world, deserve the best education their countries can offer them. Correcting inaccuracies in textbooks is an important step in the right direction.
See here for original article by ICR including references.
In Carl Gallups' book The Magic Man in the Sky by WND Books we see even more reason to discard the deep-time evolutionary model. Carl explains the absolute necessity for a complete overhaul of the view of origins which is entirely based on atheism. It is this borrowing from atheism that has led to the current teaching that people are only animals which leads to the obvious conclusion that nature is king and God is not involved in the intimate affairs of men.

New Atheist Reason for Dinosaur Extinction: Farting


Popular news headlines purport that British researchers claimed that dinosaurs choked their ancient atmosphere with their own gas. For example, "Dinosaurs 'gassed' themselves into extinction, British scientists say," according to Fox News online. Methane is a greenhouse gas and a natural byproduct of metabolizing plant matter, and many believe that excess methane production could cause catastrophic greenhouse warming on earth. But headlines like these misrepresent two key areas.

First, some of these news reports were simply inaccurate. For example, the British scientists did not say that any dinosaur-made methane caused extinction. In their paper, published in Current Biology, the scientists calculated the estimated volume of methane produced by sauropod dinosaurs They based that on estimates from fossil indications about the number of dinosaurs and how much plant matter they probably ate.

Their study concluded that, because sauropod-produced methane would have rivaled the total methane production from all modern sources, those fascinating long-necked dinosaurs "could potentially have played a significant role in influencing climate through their methane emissions." But "influencing climate" is rather different than "gassing themselves into extinction."

BREAKING - EVOLUTION TO FALL IN 2012?


Proponents of atheistic evolution have been hit with some bad news lately, which has one leading author proclaiming 2012 may be a tough year for Charles Darwin’s theory of human origins.
A Gallup survey, Google.com search trends and some Amazon.com sales numbers all suggest evolution’s ideological opponent, creationism, is on the rise in America.
Last week, for example, the Gallup polling organization released a surveyindicating that the percentage of young-earth creationists in the United States has not only increased in the last two years, but also remains the most common explanation for human origins believed by Americans.

Another epic blow to evolution theory - the mammoths disagree

Giant mammals roamed North America during the Ice Age, but were humans among them? A site in Vero Beach on Florida's East coast contains mammoth, mastodon, giant ground sloth—and human fossils. The problem is that humans were not yet supposed to have been there, according to the standard story told to generations of archaeologists.
When discovered in the early 1900s, researchers insisted that the Vero Beach human remains washed in long after the large mammals fossilized. But new results, like so many other similar reinvestigations of old sites, show they were made at the same time and that humans lived and died in North America long before believed. What took researchers so long to acknowledge that?
The reason why it took so long for the evidence to come to light may be the same reason why fossil evidence of humans and dinosaurs is so scarce.

Report: Men and dinosaurs coexisted


Dinosaurs are often portrayed as having lived in a time before man. However, the available evidence shows that man and dinosaur coexisted.
Legends of dragons are found among most people groups. For example, there are the stories of Bel and the dragon, the Kulta of Australian aborigines, St. George and the dragon, and of course many Chinese legends. Often, the anatomical descriptions given are consistent, even though they come from separate continents and various times. These depictions match what we know from the fossil evidence of certain dinosaurs. Thus, dinosaurs are known directly from their fossils, and indirectly from cave drawings, tapestries, textiles, figurines, carvings, bas reliefs, and many oral and written eyewitness accounts, most of which are quite old.

Atheist Richard Leakey whines to media about resistance to "Evolution"

What do agnostic Richard Dawkins, atheist Richard Leakey, and dictator Barack Hussein Obama have in common? They're all from Kenya of course! Can anything good come out of that country?

MSNBC is reporting Richard Leakey predicts skepticism over evolution will soon be history.

"If you get to the stage where you can persuade people on the evidence, that it's solid, that we are all African, that color is superficial, that stages of development of culture are all interactive," Leakey says, "then I think we have a chance of a world that will respond better to global challenges".
Ok - we're good with that, and it's all quite sufficiently explained using the biblical model of a common created being fashioned by God only a few thousand years ago. Evolution theory gets no victory here. Leakey goes on in the article to blame humanity for what drives evolution - climate change - man made climate change no less.

"If you look back, the thing that strikes you, if you've got any sensitivity, is that extinction is the most common phenomena," Leakey says. "Extinction is always driven by environmental change. Environmental change is always driven by climate change. Man accelerated, if not created, planet change phenomena; I think we have to recognize that the future is by no means a very rosy one."
Wait - what? Evolution theory dictates (and depends entirely on) that all currently living organisms are the off spring of extinct predecessors. Even Darwin wrote this in "On The Origins of Species". Leakey would have us to believe that extinction is "always" driven by environmental change and that man created it?

It figures. Man-made climate change (anthropogenic global warming) is a known hoax. So it stands to reason that a theory (deep-time evolution) based on falsified evidence and circular reasoning should also get his stamp of approval. All of the actual evidence is easily explained using the biblical creation model.


"Leakey began his work searching for fossils in the mid-1960s. His team unearthed a nearly complete 1.6-million-year-old skeleton in 1984 that became known as "Turkana Boy," the first known early human with long legs, short arms and a tall stature". - article
Creationists have nothing to fear from the Turkana Boy. Turkana Boy is our distant relative. But this is not because we evolved from the apes, but because Adam is the common ancestor of both Turkana Boy and ourselves. We should welcome the opportunity to discuss the scientific evidence through a biblical lens. Although museums and the popular media trumpet this human Turkana boy skeleton as an icon of evolution, a careful investigation reveals that the scientific evidence fully supports the biblical account. See here.

Leakey has no problem with people having faith saying...


"I see no reason why you shouldn't go through your life thinking if you're a good citizen, you'll get a better future in the afterlife ...."
Wait - I wonder if Leakey has ever actually read the Bible. Being a a good citizen to get a better future in the afterlife is the exact opposite of the general message given in the Bible which teaches that humanity is entirely incapable of being a good enough citizen to gain any favor at all in the afterlife.This is important because in the articles online about this Leakey mentions the book of Genesis directly.

 "If you don't like the word evolution, I don't care what you call it, but life has changed. You can lay out all the fossils that have been collected and establish lineages that even a fool could work up. So the question is why, how does this happen? It's not covered by Genesis. There's no explanation for this change going back 500 million years in any book I've read from the lips of any God."
There it is - the hero of evolution teaching - millions of years. It's a circular presupposition which has been shown many times to have weak support. Yet it remains the number one pillar of evolution theory. Take it away and the whole atheist creation myth falls apart.

There are many scientists doing real science without ever invoking the atheist creation story. There are many scientists who could very happily debate Leakey and bring his theoretical house of cards crumbling into a heap of embarrassment on the floor. There are many scientists who could easily show Richard has wasted the vast majority of his life chasing proof that he will never find.

He mentioned some numbers in his interview. Sometime in the next 15 to 30 years, the Kenyan-born paleoanthropologist expects scientific discoveries will have accelerated to the point that "even the skeptics can accept it." That's an interesting timeline for Richard considering his age. Leakey is 67 years old. He only has 15 to 30 years to figure it all out before his own biological clock counts down to zero. Here's hoping he finds the real identity of his maker. Here's hoping he finds Jesus.

Newly Discovered Human Brain Genes Are Bad News for Evolution


The fact that three newly discovered genes that are completely unique to humans and found in no other known mammal species has been cleverly obfuscated in evolutionary verbiage. Clearly this is yet another major genetic discovery that invalidates human evolution and shows that we are created uniquely "in the image of God" as the book of Genesis teaches.

When Christians Attack! A Portrait of an Apostate


It was well known that Carl Gallups' new book "The Magic Man in the Sky" was going to draw some negative reactions from the secular community. To be sure we've only seen the beginning of that onslaught. It was to be expected, of course, since they are the primary target of the book. The name itself is indicative of the author's intended audience - the atheists.

But it was difficult to imagine the level of vitriol we would experience from the "Christian" community; the extent of which is simply astounding.

Carl Gallups, one of the founders and major contributors to the popular PPSIMMONS Youtube channel which has spread to many other areas online thanks to the recent controversial closing of the channel by Google followed by the reopening thanks to major news outlets picking up the story, has written an outreach to those with an atheist world view. If "Christians" should be able to unite on any topic, this should be it. But alas, those with a "beef" against one PPSIMMONS teaching or another have found their way to the Amazon book site to trash the work of Gallups. One such person hides behind the username "TrustinJC".

He bought the book and wrote a review on the Amazon review page. It was entirely negative. The book is an outreach to the atheist community and this supposed "brother in the Lord" had nothing positive to write about it.

Since the review sections of Amazon double as discussion pages several people engaged this TrustinJC person. He refused to relent. Mike Shoesmith, Social Networking Director for the PPSIMMONS Ministry, got involved and gave the person several opportunities to do the right thing, to no avail. There were two points of conflict in the review. The first was that Gallups had failed to disprove the theory of evolution. The second was that Gallups was promoting the "Once Saved Always Saved" doctrine clearly taught in scripture. Forget the book's other mountains of information which sought to directly reach out to the atheist mind set - this "fellow believer" had nothing good to say.

So we were able to find this person's youtube channel - and what a revelation it was. TrustinJC was an avid evolutionist and staunch legalist. The reason he saw nothing good in "The Magic Man in the Sky" was due to the fact that he had borrowed so much FROM the atheists. In fact the phrase "Christian in name only" would be a perfect description of TrustinJc.

So once again we observed as friends of PPSIMMONS, including Mike Shoesmith under his personal youtube channel prosperousindividual, engaged in conversation with this person - a mission of discovery and fact-finding. We discovered some disturbing trends associated with him.

Firstly we deduced a social dysfunction. He didn't seem at all concerned that he was doing damage to another brother. He saw it as his personal mission from God to expose people he perceived to be false teachers no matter the venue. At first it seemed he may be suffering from aspergers syndrome, a form of low-end autism which is clearly though sometimes not immediately perceptible. As conversations deepened, however, it became more obvious that he was probably not as intellectually advanced as many with the aspergers affliction. In other words he seemed to be nothing more than a simplton looking for affirmation, lashing out at others who oppose that comfortable place he has built in his mind.

People like boundaries. They like to have things all figured out and resist challenges to the dogmas which form that safety zone for them. Sometimes, as is the case with all fanatics who won't rest until everyone agrees with them, they lash out at the opposition. It's no different than the militant homosexual movement really, who won't be satisfied until all levels of society are in agreement with their lifestyle. They even come to Christian venues and throw around words like "homophobe", bigot", etc.

And now it seems the legalists are on board with the same tactics. They separate themselves from other believers in their minds with scathing accusations of "leading people into destruction" and what not. They, like the other militant extremists, find no solace in simply promoting their message and becoming a person who has "Good News" for the world. It becomes an obsession for them to tear others down.


But let's leave the deeper psycho-analysing to the experts and focus on what we know to be true here. We were able to glean a few facts about TrustinJC which reveal the portrait of an apostate - someone who has fallen away from the truth and has embraced lie upon lie even going so far as to borrow tenet structure from the atheist world view. Let's begin with that.

TrustinJC is an evolutionist. His attack directed toward Carl Gallups' book on Amazon was initially focused on his lack of being impressed with Gallups' evidence against evolution. As we researched this person and probed him on his beliefs we quickly discovered that he has joined up with the atheistic model of creation - the one which is completely dependent upon deep time (billions of years) to perform the magical task of turning non-living matter into life and then turning microbes into men. Rather than trusting the historical narrative in the Bible, as most Christians do, TrustinJC has embraced the atheistic fairy tale of evolution. This leads us to the second point.

As we explored the responses on his youtube channel he revealed two things about his thoughts on scripture. He said the Bible is full of contradictions and it is not the only book inspired by God as scripture. This is to be quite expected from the apostate. They attack the sure Word from God because it is the line. It contains the true historical record of God's interaction with humanity past and outlines the future of humanity in stunning detail. It is a major battle ground between the believer and the enemy, Satan. TrustinJC has lost that battle and believes this lie as well. That's two strikes.

There are many problems with the dynamics of TrustinJC's world view. He attacked a cerebral outreach to the atheist community, "The Magic Man in the Sky" by Carl Gallups, while exhibiting grave difficulty with basic use of the English language. It reveals a type of inability to reason respectfully and seemingly resorts to bullying out of a lack of intelligence. However this is also the primary symptom of the apostate. They hate the brothers and attack them from within. It reminds one of a spy movie with the enemy gaining trust through identification with the group and then attempting to sabotage the group's efforts. According to the Bible this is an activity that God despises. And this is the activity of the apostate.


We pondered whether or not we should even mention this person's channel and by doing so drive up his views. But we suspect the majority of people we send there will not approve. And we suspect they will have a few words for this person.

EXPOSED! FRAUD AND DECEPTION! Darwinian Evolution Theory Falling Apart in Academia

Two HUGE Stories out of Baylor University this week have exposed a disturbing trend in the academic world.

Associated Press is reporting that colleges have spent billions on financial aid for high-scoring students who don't actually need the money, motivated at least partly by the quest for rankings glory.

It was a college, Baylor University, that paid students it had already accepted to retake the SAT exam in a transparent ploy to boost the average scores it could report. It's colleges that have awarded bonuses to presidents who lift their school a few slots.

And it's colleges that occasionally get caught in the kind of cheating you might expect in sports or on Wall Street, but which seems especially ignominious coming from professional educators.

The latest example came last week at Claremont McKenna, a highly regarded California liberal arts college where a senior administrator resigned after acknowledging he falsified college entrance exam scores for years to rankings publications such as US News.

Even though Baylor has been caught up in this there are glimmers of truth coming out of that particular University, perhaps not coincidentally. This week The Institute for Creation Research is reporting that in a recent paper titled "Dissecting Darwinism," Baylor University Medical Center surgeon Joseph Kuhn described serious problems with Darwinian evolution. He first described how life could not possibly have come from chemicals alone, since the information residing in DNA required an input from outside of nature.

He then addressed Darwinism's inability to account for the all-or-nothing structure of cellular systems, including the human body. As a medical doctor, Kuhn not only knows the general arrangement of the human body's visible parts, he also understands the interrelated biochemical systems that sustain and regulate all of those parts. He recognized that the human body contains an all-or-nothing system in which its core parts and biochemicals must exist all at once for the body to function.

Biochemist Michael Behe named these all-or-nothing systems "irreducibly complex." Removing a single core part from one of these systems keeps the entire system from working, and this implies that the system was initially built with all of its parts intact.

This is exactly what researchers expect to see if God purposely created living systems, rather than if natural processes accidentally built living systems bit-by-bit—as Darwinian philosophy maintains.

Kuhn cited the work of another medical doctor, Geoffrey Simmons, who described 17 "all or nothing" human body systems. These combine with many others to form the entire human body—a system of systems—that is irreducible at many levels, from gross anatomy to biochemistry. For example, just as a woman would die without her heart, she would also die without the vital blood biochemical hemoglobin.

But even an intact heart and hemoglobin need regulation. A heart that beats too fast or too slow can be just as lethal as having no heart, and a body that produces too much or too little hemoglobin can be equally unhealthy. Thus, the systems that regulate heartbeats and hemoglobin must also have been present from the beginning.

Kuhn wrote that "virtually every aspect of human physiology has regulatory elements, feedback loops, and developmental components that require thousands of interacting genes leading to specified protein expression." Thus, "the human body represents an irreducibly complex system on a cellular and an organ/system basis."

Evolution has no proven explanations for the origin of just one irreducibly complex system, let alone the interdependent web of irreducible systems that comprise the human body.

Could the human body have evolved? According to Kuhn, to change another creature into a human "would require far more than could be expected from random mutation and natural selection." However, a wonderfully constructed human body is exactly what an all-wise Creator would make, and He promised that those who trust in Him will one day inherit new bodies "that fadeth not away."

Atheistic Evolution Theory Destroyed by Science - An Overview on Creationism

(photo - creation.com)

In the grand scheme of things, refuting any one particular transcendental belief system like Christianity over Islam is irrelevant unless one deals first with the foundations of modern materialistic atheism. In Mike Shoesmith's recent debate against four atheists it was evident that a great gulf of ignorance exists as to the very understanding of what atheism is on the part of the atheists themselves. A surprising amount of time was spent coaxing the four into finally admitting that modern naturalistic atheism is nothing more than the philosophy of naturalism - the positive assertion that nothing exists apart from nature. Once that definition is established, corralling the atheists into a very small cage, their position is easily refuted.

Logically speaking, atheism once intellectually defined is indefensible. It forces the adherent to eliminate even the remotest possibility that the supernatural exists. Such a fallacy, the converse fallacy of accident, makes such a leaping claim based solely on either the desire to be in control through intellectual means (nature can be carnally understood therefore nothing supernatural exists) or by virtue of a lack of experience extrapolated to the entirety of that which can be experienced - as though after dipping a cup into the ocean one declares that the contents of the cup are all that could ever exist, purposely ignoring the ocean directly in front of them.

The evidence, as pointed out by Richard Dawkins, is based almost entirely on biological evolution - atheism's 800 pound straw man. Because species within a kind are shown to change, adapt, or speciate over time this observation (predicted by the Bible coincidentally) has been co-opted into the atheist mindset to be proof that no gods are needed for life to exist. Essentially this is what we have going on here. As Dawkins has repeatedly said - "Evolution is the engine which drives modern atheism".

Yet if speciation, adaptation, or whatever one chooses to call it is the real topic of conversation then even the most hard-line creationist is an evolutionist. We as creationists do not deny the science - we embrace it. We know that speciation is real science because it has been and continues to be observed scientifically. Yet when we observe the reality of different species of equine or canine we simply look to the Bible and say "ah yes, just as Noah brought 2 of every kind onto the ark we can safely predict that all the species we see today would come from that event". All dogs, for example, come from a mating pair of wolves and when we examine the equine kind we see it hitting the reproductive barrier when horses mate with donkeys and produce the mule - a universally sterile creature.

Likewise for the hero of modern atheism - bacteria. When bacteria are observed to speciate over many generations because of natural influence it is heralded as proof of atheistic evolution yet what we are really observing is one form of bacteria becoming another form of bacteria without offering any reason at all to suggest a prediction that microbe-to-man evolution is even remotely possible. Not only is this postulation not science it is an insult to those who actually take science seriously.

Please watch this short video from chess-master and scientist Johnathan Sarfati explain in greater detail the connection between atheism and evolution.

SPECIATION: Darwin's Strawman and Evolution's most EPIC Fail


Mike Shoesmith here. In a recent debate between myself and four atheists evidence was given for microbe-to-man evolution that was typical, boring, and certainly nothing new. They trotted out the old tired hero - bacteria! They claimed that speciation has been "proven" - case closed. Here are my thoughts on the subject.

Very few people in the arena of philosophical ideas have never heard of Darwin's finches; birds with different size beaks which serve different purposes depending on various demands placed on them by their surrounding habitat. Ever since then these adaptive natural selection traits have been documented and even observed in cases where reproduction happens quickly.
One of these is the hero of modern atheistic evolution theory. Bacteria reproduce quickly and therefore can be observed over many generations. The process of speciation happens when traits develop in subsequent generations to allow a bacterium to perform tasks it could not previously accomplish. This may involve digesting a food source when introduced into a foreign environment. This is the case with nylon-eating bacteria. E-coli have recently been caught in the act of speciation and yeast bacteria have been a source of great adaptation ability. Yet none of this comes as any surprise to creationists. In fact we owe a great debt of gratitude to those folks out there who went to such great lengths to prove speciation since that is exactly what the Bible predicts and exactly what we would expect to happen following the flood!
Noah was not commanded to load up two of every "species" on the Ark. That would require a boat much larger than the one built. Knowing that speciation would occur Noah was commanded to load only two of every "kind". Two dogs for example, probably a wolf-like creature, have been speciating ever since. Likewise for all the rest of the land-dwelling creatures of the day. Even dinosaurs - though we're looking at smaller versions of those today.
So to all the evo-heads out there trying to prove microbe-to-man evolution by showing evidence for speciation - thanks for giving us even more assurance that the Bible is true and atheism is silly.
Finally here's something to ponder - if all the videos on youtube which strawman the argument by proving speciation and saying it proves Darwinian evolution were deleted from youtube's servers today - that would require the largest defrag in history. Hehehehe. Thanks for reading.
