Evolutionists Shove Uncooperative Data into Darwinian Stories

May 29, 2018

If you're a Darwinian, your strategy is to make it seem like every piece of biological data fits evolution, even when it doesn't. Otherwise, creationists might get ideas.

Brain of Homo Naledi Estimated

May 16, 2018

The intriguing hominid fossils from a South African cave make news again. This time, the discoverer and a team of anthropologists learn more about the brains of these creatures. Were they people? In 2013, the world was shocked to hear of bones of Homo deep within the Rising Star Cave system in South Africa. Bones […]

Amber Fossils Do Not Accurately Record Animal Diversity

May 9, 2018

A survey of arthropods trapped in tree sap shows that the unlucky ones do not represent an accurate cross section of the community.

Concretions Can Form Rapidly

May 8, 2018

The spherical inclusions inside geological layers do not take millions of years to form, Japanese scientists say. Concretions are eye-catching. Varying in size from peas to cannonballs, the almost perfectly spherical balls that erode out of geological layers seem almost too perfect to be natural. Science Daily indicates that scientists, not only laypersons, are mystified […]

Misreading Evidence for Early Man

April 27, 2018

Paleoanthropology has a long history of misinterpreting evidence and committing spectacular blunders. Are we seeing more examples right now?

Do These Fossils Show Evolution?

April 17, 2018

Before taking an evolutionist's word for it that a fossil organism evolved, we should look at the evidence.

Silly Darwinian Stories to Laugh At

April 16, 2018

The just-so storytelling empire continues. It doesn't have to be this way.

March of Man Disbanded

April 10, 2018

Although still widely pictured in the mass media, paleoanthropologists have long ago abandoned the iconic chart of the progression of human evolution.

Climate Science Has Huge Error Bars

March 29, 2018

If one of your major model inputs is off by up to 50%, what does that do to the precision of your predictions about degrees of temperature change a century from now?

Darwinism as an All-Purpose Story Plot

March 23, 2018

Observations are just props. The play is, “The Evolution of Whatever” or “How Whatever Evolved.” Now playing in science media near you. As a play, Darwinism has two subplots: natural selection and sexual selection. With a little creative screenwriting, any observation in nature can be fit into either or both subplots, provided the perhapsimaybecouldness index […]

More Fossil Forests Found in Antarctica

March 22, 2018

The extent of fossil forests buried in the coldest continent on earth continues to grow and astound explorers.

Elephants and Mammoths Were All One Kind

March 19, 2018

A new study of elephants, mammoths and mastodons show they were all interfertile or capable of hybridization. Our present world is impoverished of elephants, or “elephantids” as scientists dub the family. Mammoths and mastodons roamed throughout America and Asia, evidenced by the massive fossil beds, where millions of mammoth bones can be found in permafrost. […]

Pterosaurs and Birds Flew Together

March 14, 2018

Archaeopteryx flew as well as a pheasant, say paleontologists, and pterosaurs prospered right up to the moment of extinction.

Most Common Phrase in Evolution Media: “Earlier Than Thought”

March 9, 2018

Major innovations that should have required many millions of years of slow, gradual evolution keep turning up earlier than thought. But who thought? We coined a new word tontologism (look it up in the Darwin Dictionary) to account for a bad habit of Darwinians. They frequently say, when evidence goes against their previous beliefs, “we […]

Geology: A Science Where Theories Undergo Subduction

March 8, 2018

In plate tectonics, continental plates get subducted and melt under pressure. That’s like what happens to geological theories. Read enough geology papers, and you will find old theories constantly being replaced. Classic examples include plate tectonics becoming the new normal after Wegener’s theory had been viciously attacked, and megaflood theory for the Channeled Scablands becoming […]
