Recently, a fellow Appalachian objected to my use of a 1937 quote from Theodosius Dobzhansky based on an implied appeal to novelty. An appeal to novelty is the fallacious assumption that just because something is newer, it must be better or more true than something older. He basically asked, given my 1937 quotation, whether I would also…

What CFI Croatia Would Like Done About Biblical Creationists Like Dr G Charles Jackson
Recently, a friend of this ministry, Dr G Charles Jackson of Creation Truth Foundation, went on a mission trip to Croatia. Dr. J is a prolific speaker and debater on the origins argument. He’s quick on his feet, very knowledgeable about his subject matter, yet humble enough to note that he needs Holy Ghost unction…
Deflating Dobzhansky’s Grand Assumption, or Why Microevolution Does Not Lead To Macroevolution
Textbooks and Evo-evangelists still claim that small observable microevolutionary changes lead to big macroevolutionary changes. Some even think that Creationists made up the terms micro- and macroevolution to confuse folks but the distiction was actually recognized by evolutionists like Theodosius Dobzhansky [poor Mr. Hurd]! But the truth is that observable processes like Natural Selection and speciation can produce horizontal changes within kinds of animals but cannot satisfy the requirements of the assumptions of vertical microbes-to-man macroevolution. Which is pretty sad, since that’s what we teach our children!
The Gilded Parrot: An Apparent Interview with Dr Rickroll Dawggins
As reigning President of the Design Opposition Grassroots Movement of America, my job is to provide you with answers to this design “controversy.” My last interview [with PZ Squiddy of Uvula] had not been well-received by the atheist and evolutionist community. Some have accused me of being a Poe. Others have called me a “worthless…
Creation Museum’s new Natural Selection exhibit
Bulldog Skull Who knew that the lowly bulldog could be a Hero for Creationism? A lot of folks have been led to believe that Creationists don’t believe in Natural Selection. That’s because some people have falsely equated Natural Selection with Evolutionism. Yet Biblical Young Earth Creationists DO observe and recognize Natural Selection and, contrary to…
Why I Am A Creationist 2
This post has been long time in coming, but I simply haven’t had time to put it down. My plate is rather full. My intent last time was to give my reasons as to why I am a Creationist. My last post can be summarized thus: 1. I believe in God… a. …because of the…
Why Naturalism Makes Darwin Unfalsifiable
Naturalism. By definition, it is the presupposition that the world came into being, developed [i.e. – evolved] to its present state and is sustained by purely material processes. God is not needed. Or so they hope. I think they’ve mistaken the concept of a God who is not wanted [by them, at any rate] with…
Blind Man’s Bluff
: Contrasting the Natural Selection of Darwin and Dawkins I came across another quote by Richard Dawkins, biologist, self-professed atheist and dogmatic advocate of Darwinism: “Natural selection, the blind, unconscious, automatic process which Darwin discovered, and which we now know is the explanation for the existence and apparent purposeful form of all life, has no…
