Okay, so the headline is certainly a dog-bites-man kind of thing. But Stephen Hawking, the famed mathematician and physicist, says the universe is just a consequence of the natural laws of physics. Even if that were true, how did there get to be any such laws without a Creator to set them in order?
Hawking’s statement [...]

Evolutionary dogma says the whole motive force behind sexual reproduction and the mechanics of evolution is to pass along your genes. In the competition for the survival of the fittest, the fittest are the ones that figure out a scheme for reproducing more. That’s what “competition” means in this context. It means the winners produce [...]

Another breathless announcement is appearing in the U.K. Telegraph announcing that the missing link between apes and people has been found. As if there were only one. How many times have we heard this, anyhow? And besides, the missing link was identified back in the 1960s and seen weekly by millions. And besides that besides, [...]

I saw a junk science TeeVee show that explained how the earth was made. As if they knew. During the discussion of first life, I realized that there’s a big gap in evolutionary theory I hadn’t seen before. No doubt somebody has written about this before, but it’s a first for me: Digestion. It requires [...]

Science Daily is reporting the death of a theory of life. I mentioned a couple of days ago that one of the big gaps in evolutionary theory is the jump from minerals to life. The original theory for how to get over that gap was that a body of water containing some basic compounds was [...]

These aren’t really gaps as that’s far too small a word. These are more like megaparsecs or something.
1. The gap from nothing to something.
There is nothing about nature which leads us to expect that something could ever come from nothing naturally. Everyone is agreed that the universe had a beginning. Now the question is [...]

Life begetting life is natural. Minerals begetting life is not natural. The origin of first life is not the only unsolved problem for the evolutionist, but it’s certainly the biggest. There are two basic theories of how life began. The first is that a molecule similar to DNA randomly came together and began replicating itself. [...]

Another fossil, another rewrite of history. Here’s one from China. Here’s an ape-man from South Africa. Here’s one about fossilized dookey from America. And one from Mexico is about crabs. The latest is a human skull from Georgia (Europe). Each of these was a fossil that was all wrong and required some aspect of evolution [...]

Several biotech firms have been trying to make a substitute for human blood to be used in emergencies when donated blood isn’t available. The first generation of products proved so toxic that the Food and Drug Administration took them off the market. It turns out that one of the functions of red blood cells is [...]

My friend John Rabe at Rabe’s Ramblings has linked an article about a 9-year old boy who found an arrowhead. The arrowhead itself is probably not all that remarkable as an artifact despite expert claims that it’s 6,000 years old. What’s important about it, as Rabe points out, is that an arrowhead is a great [...]

The Grand Procurator at Little Green Footballs is one of the web’s more passionate defenders of the theory evolution. In the article here, he shows why it’s much easier to believe in evolution if you don’t really know what it is. He recounts third-hand the story of some mustard seeds which, in a few generations, [...]

The popular-level science magazine New Scientist has recently pondered the question of why there is something rather than nothing. Their answers are notable for being “not-answers” to the question. For example, it’s just the nature of the vacuum energy (where’d the vacuum come from and the energy within it?), or our universe emerged from a [...]

The Discovery Institute has reprinted an article from The Boston Globe by Stephen C. Meyer on the subject of intelligent design in creation. Meyer cites Jefferson’s views on intelligent design in creation sourced, as Jefferson himself says, not from revelation but from his observation of nature. Everything in it, he said, convinces the soul that [...]

Answers in Genesis, the Christian organization devoted to the factual nature of the Genesis account of creation, built a museum in Kentucky. The museum has been controversial since it opened, which is no surprise, but what’s surprising is that some mainstream, evolution-preaching professors are stopping by to look it over. Not that they’re convinced, of [...]

Here’s an interesting article about biologists and chemists trying to figure out how life got started. Spoiler warning: they don’t mention if God had anything to do with it. The title says something about “new glimpses,” but the article merely details the old darkness. They basically don’t know anything for sure about the subject. The [...]
