I was just browsing around over at Answersin Genesis.org and I found a wonderful article by Dr. Elizabeth Mitchell called Unicorns in the Bible? In the article, Dr. Mitchell covers the Biblical references and descriptions of unicorns, noting how they were described as actual animals, not fantastical creatures. She then goes on to speculate how…

Creation Cryptids: Emela-Ntouka, the “Killer of Elephants”
The cryptid known as Emela-Ntouka [a Ligala word meaning “Killer of Elephants” or “Water-Elephant” should excite a Creationist’s interests, specifically because of its similarity to a creature described in Job 40:15-24, more famously refered to as Behemoth. Hailing from the Likoula swamp region of the republic of the Congo, it also goes by the names, aseka-moke,…
Creation Cryptids: Little Green Men & UFOs
The following originally appeared in answer to a comment on this post. Aliens and UFOs. OK. I hail from West Virginia, home of Gray Barker [credited with possibly inventing the Men In Black], the Mothman of Point Pleasant and the Green Monster of Flatwoods [aka the Flatwoods Monster], all of which have been linked to…
Creation Cryptids
Coined by John E Wall of Manitoba in 1983, the word “cryptid” refers to an animal of interest to cryptozoology. Cryptozoology, according to Bernard Heuvelmann [the “Father of Cryptozoology”] is “The scientific study of hidden animals, i.e., of still unknown animal forms about which only testimonial and circumstanstial evidence is availbable, or material evidence considered…
Prayer Request: My Son is having Heart Surgery tomorrow
I think the title of this blog says it all. God bless you, Sirius Knott
The Church of PZ “Wackaloon” Myers & Ideological Child Abuse
Yes, the title of this blog is inflammatory. Yes, it’s on purpose. I hope I have your attention. Recently, I made a comment defending Ken Ham after PZ Myers of Pharyngula fame called him a “wackaloon” and then invited “millions” [dream on, PZ. Neither you nor Darwinism is THAT popular] of others to pour some…
PZ Invites Insult to Ken Ham. My Response.
Recently, PZ Myers of Pharyngula fame called Ken Ham a “wackaloon.” Understandably, Mr. Ham called him to the mat for his lack of professional courtesy [You see, professionals attack the subject matter, not the person they’re debating.] and for his lop-sided bias against Christians. [The only intolerance still allowed.] Ken Ham’s rebuttal is priceless, btw. So…
Higher Ignorance – At least the name’s accurate
Lately, I’ve been reading two books: The Religious Case Against Belief by James P. Carse and I Don’t Believe in Atheists by Chris Hedges. I think both books are a waste of print, though they say largely the same thing. They both promote a fuzzy, pseudo-existentialist post-modernism, but try to give it a gloss of…
There Is No Science But Naturalism And Darwin Is Its Prophet!
No one has yet successfully refuted these logical propositions. -8/28/2008 SK Academic Freedom of Inquiry. That’s the primary message of Ben Stein’s documentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed! It’s what ol’ Sirius has been growling about for some time and [finally] somebody is actually doing something about it! Thanks to Ben’s documentary [and the previous groundwork…
When You’re Right, You’re Right
It’s kind of funny, but when you’re right, you’re right. To be right: 1. You don’t have to know why. [You can base it on a hunch or a gut feeling] 2. You don’t have to have the best argument. 3. You don’t even have to be right for the right reasons. [Galileo was right…
Greed, High Gas Prices & Impotent RepDems
Gas prices continue to soar with no reasonable end in sight and no apparently logical economical basis. The prices are NOT going up proportionately with increased demand. The prices are NOT going up proportionately with increased cost of a barrel of crude oil or the cost of processing it into gasoline. The prices ARE going up, but it’s…
Why Genesis Matters
I saw Ken Ham lecture this morning. It was excellent. At one point in his presentation, he pointed out that when Jesus was talking to Nicodemus, He said, “If you don’t believe me when I speak of earthly things, how can you hear me when I speak of heavenly things?” It’s an excellent point. While…
