Evolution: The Idea has so Far Triumphed Regardless of the Facts
I’m reading a grand little book entitled, “Evolution: the triumph of an idea,” by Carl Zimmer (2001). Before his death in 2002, Stephen Gould wrote the introduction to the book. As much as I am overwhelmed by the exuberance of his tenacious verbosity, his introduction forewarns the reader of the bait and switch tactics and […]

If I only had a brain! Sea anemones claimed as a brainless ancestor!
An article on recent genetic studies of the simple sea anemone, in this case Nematostella vectensis, show that the genes involved in the development of the human head (and other animals with heads) are present in this creature even though it has no head. These genes help produce one end of the animal which was […]

Evolution vs. Design: The Geologic Record – Part 5
To date, we have looked at the theory of evolution, challenged its legitimacy, and availed ourselves of a brief but useful understanding of the recent development of materialistic explanations for the existence of life and for the nature of sedimentary rock which covers at least four-fifths of the surface of the planet’s landmass. The latter […]

DNA: Evidence of a Master’s Blueprint: Part Two
In Part One of this introductory series on DNA, a brief look at the history of the scientific achievements leading to our current understanding of genetics was presented. The series of scientific efforts that led to the discovery of the DNA molecule and the subsequent analysis of the molecule showed how genetic information is passed from generation to generation. The […]

The Other Side of the Coin: Evolution vs Design: Part 3
In the last two articles, I have made the contention that the so-called science of evolution has no basis in fact. Natural selection has a real but minimal impact on increasing the success of a specie within an ecosystem but only because the genetics available are from a pre-existing design. In essence, life was programmed […]

Laying the Foundations: Evolution vs Design Part 2
Last month’s article presented evolution as a theory that is ‘naked’ of any scientific merit. A bold claim I intend to address in the months to come. Those who put their faith in the seductive draw of evolution’s mythology were presented as either seriously uninformed, pretentious intellectuals, or indoctrinated bystanders. In an effort to reduce the […]
