One of the more amusingly wrong creationist arguments is that, if the world is really so old, why aren’t there trillions of us? I mean, evolutionists have to propose millions of years without any population growth at all! How could this be true, if population grows in the geometric pattern P(t) = P0ert? This is [...]

Soft Tissues are Back!
I told you they were conflicted. A new article is up at that repository of creationist nonsense, the Institute for Creation Research. It’s called Peer Review Fails in Soft Tissue Study, and is a follow up from an earlier article – Latest Soft Tissue Study Skirts the Issues, which intriguingly they didn’t reference in this [...]

So Who is this Brian Thomas Guy Anyway?
The ICR has missed two three deadlines (midnight Dallas time, weekdays – 5pm for me) for the publication of DpSUs – there is nothing new since Monday. So much for ‘Daily’… What have I been doing during this time? Apart from, you know, school work and stuff. I made a ‘blogroll’ – a list of [...]

This is the Best You Can Come Up With? – Quick DpSU
There seems to be a conspiracy theory amongst Creationists, at-least at the ICR, that dinosaur beds contain fossils of modern species as well. This conspiracy seems to be largely the result of the work of “Medical doctor Carl Werner”, and his Evolution: The Grand Experiment book and DVD series. For today’s DpSU, Brian Thomas (who [...]

New Study Can Be Made To Vaguely Correlate With (Parts Of The Second Half Of) The Book Of Genesis (DpSU)
Or, as Mr Thomas puts it, Genetics [sic] Analysis of Jews Confirms Genesis. Same thing? Let’s see… What actually happened? A study was investigating the genetic evidence for further “sub-Saharan African gene flow into some West Eurasian populations after the initial dispersal out of Africa that occurred at least 45,000 years ago” (I’m quoting from [...]

Genetic Stop Sign Halts Evolutionary Explanations (DpSU)
Soo… If you genetically modify the good ol’ fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, to remove a presumed-redundant genetic ‘stop signal’ at one of the many places in the fly’s genome where there are double ups, you don’t get a very happy fly. Also, this disproves evolution. hmm… You may have noticed that Mr Thomas has two [...]

Amber and Embryos – DpSU’s, May 30
There have been some rather amusing articles from Mr Thomas in the last few days… To summarise the first, a CT scan of a 49 million year old spider trapped in amber (video) apparently challenges evolution, largely on the grounds that The spider’s relatives haven’t noticeably changed over the millennia, and The amber has rapidly [...]

Quick DpSU’s #1
Here’re some quickies: Self-Cloning Lizards Fit for Survival So, some lizards can reproduce by a system akin to cloning - parthenogenesis – and this can be created in the lab. Also, “evolution has no useful explanation for the origin of sexual reproduction, let alone unisexual.” This isn’t useful in itself. Sure, the field is not settled, but what is? [...]

Despite ‘Magma Ocean’ Discovery, Io’s Volcanic Heat Remains a Mystery (Rumour Has It)
Now for some ‘news’, or rather “Daily (pseudo)Science Updates”. Apparently, adding to the hefty list of evidence against both evolution and the universe having existed for a long time in general, Io gives out too much energy to be “old” (he must be flattered). A recent creation astronomy video summarized the issue by stating, “If [...]
