    [__ Science __ ] Noah’s Ark: The Problem of Violent Waves

    The problem is not the strength of the box, but the flexing of very large wooden ships. There's an effective limit to how big a wooden vessel can be: Wyoming was an American wooden six-masted schooner built and completed in 1909 by the firm of Percy & Small in Bath, Maine.[1] With a length of...

    [__ Science __ ] The Source of Our Identity

    Man truly became able to know good and evil like God. That's what God says. It's not some "on my terms" idea. Humans truly became like God in their ability to know good and evil.

    [__ Science __ ] Close, But Not Close Enough—Fingerprints

    "Both primates and humans have ridged skin, andeach print is unique among primates, just as it isamong humans. Evolutionists explain this similarityby inheritance from a common ancestor. But theBible provides a perfect explanation: design." But the Bible doesn't say fingerprints in humans and...

    [__ Science __ ] Darwinistspeak: "Individuals don't evolve, populations evolve!"

    Truth is truth. God is not neutral in this: "Know the truth and the truth will set you free." That seems like a testable idea. A very long time ago, Christians agreed on what defined a believer. Do you know what those things are? Hint: none of them are about evolution or whether the...

    [__ Science __ ] Bats of a Feather

    Well, that's a testable belief... oph: fowl Original Word: עוֹף Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: oph Phonetic Spelling: (ofe) Definition: fowl https://biblehub.com/hebrew/5776.htm That's AIG's confusion. They assume that the Hebrews defined birds as we do. The Bible isn't...

    [__ Science __ ] What Your Children Learn in Public Schools

    AIG confuses astronomy with biology: “We inhabit a vast universe. Our planet, Earth, revolves around the Sun, which is just one of the many billions of stars that make up our galaxy, the Milky Way. And there are many billions of such galaxies. Where did all this come from? Why is it here?"...

    [__ Science __ ] Darwinistspeak: "Individuals don't evolve, populations evolve!"

    Again, AIG depends on redefining terms to avoid scientific definitions. The term "population" is not defined in the Bible. Evolution, macroevolution, microevolution, population. Among others.

    [__ Science __ ] Darwinistspeak: "Individuals don't evolve, populations evolve!"

    I go with the truth. Evolutionary theory makes no such predictions. You would probably be surprised that Darwin considered God to be the Creator, and wrote that God just created the first living things.

    [__ Science __ ] The Source of Our Identity

    Here's the error: But Adam was disobedient to God’s revelation about right and wrong when he ate the fruit. He decided that he wanted to rely on his own judgment about what was right and wrong, not God’s judgment. This does not fit God's comment in Genesis: Genesis 3:22 And he said: Behold...

    [__ Science __ ] Bats of a Feather

    AIG's error is to suppose that the Bible is in error in translation. The difference is, the Bible divides organisms into functional categories, while science classifies them by descent. So the Bible isn't wrong to put bats and birds into the same group (animals that fly). It's just that...

    [__ Science __ ] Rocket Science for the Glory of God!

    Since rockets were invented by Chinese scientists, and the principle by which they work was discovered by Hero of Alexandria (a pagan Greek), it's a bit difficult to see how "the Bible alone provides the foundation for rocket science." I doubt if the Chinese scientists even knew about the...

    [__ Science __ ] Neanderthals “Didn’t Truly Go Extinct”

    I've read that. Being red-headed myself, that was interesting. Further research shows it's more interesting and more complicated than earlier thought: One of the very first features suggested as having a Neanderthal origin was red hair. A set of Neanderthal genes responsible for both light...

    [__ Science __ ] Neanderthals “Didn’t Truly Go Extinct”

    Most of us, particularly Europeans, carry Neanderthal genes. Doesn't mean that we are Neanderthals. It just means that anatomically modern humans and Neanderthals interbred.

    [__ Science __ ] Back to School: Reading, Writing, and . . . Witchcraft?

    They offer classes on Christianity, Judaism, Buddhism, etc. Do you think there's a reason some religions should be outlawed, but not others?

    [__ Science __ ] Darwinistspeak: "Individuals don't evolve, populations evolve!"

    Since the definition of biological evolution is "a change in allele frequencies in a population", only populations evolve. Individuals can't evolve; they are stuck with the genome they're born with. Populations, of course, can and do evolve. We see it happen constantly.

    [__ Science __ ] Darwinistspeak: "Individuals don't evolve, populations evolve!"

    Precisely. If, for example, some grizzly bears responded to ice age conditions to get white fur and dark skins (which meant both camouflage and more heat absorbed from the sun) we say their fur and skin evolved. But of course that also means the population evolved. It isn't really...

    [__ Science __ ] Darwinistspeak: "Individuals don't evolve, populations evolve!"

    By definition.... Organisms of a species living together in a group at a particular place are called a “population” in Biology. A population refers to an assortment of organisms in a given location. These organisms, since they belong to the same species, can interbreed and produce more of their...

    [__ Science __ ] Evolution Is a Scientific Law?

    Evolution is not merely a scientific law. Even a reasonably bright middle school student will tell you that Darwin's theory is not a law. A law predicts what will happen under given circumstances, without explaining why. A theory predicts and explains what will happen under given...

    [__ Science __ ] Elon Musk—A “Cultural Christian”?

    It means he thinks we're suckers, and might buy his cars if he says so.
