The vampire squid is a living fossil that have never changed much during the 180 million years according to evolutionists it has existed.  

However, the time of the death is the time of Noah’s Flood, approximately 4,500 years ago.

The shale slab holding this duo's fossilized remains preserved imprints of their soft tissues in "exceptional" detail, the researchers wrote in the study, published online March 16 in the Swiss Journal of Palaeontology. An analysis of the slab reveals that their last moments together ended in an "eternal embrace," the team said.

This means that they lived together at the flood time, .Many fossils have been found snatching their meal, which means that the flood took them away unexpectedly.

The Nature Rights Movement Gives The “Rights Of The Moon””

The “nature rights” movement has launched into outer space with a Declaration of the Rights of the Moon. They not only give credit to the Earth, that they say is our mother. 

In a world seeped with Darwinian thinking, it is difficult for some people to see that humans are special, made in the image of God.

Animal rights activists, who tend to embrace evolutionary thinking, have for years tried to blur the differences between humans and animals.

In January 2008 a chimpanzee named Matthew Hiasl Pan made headlines throughout the world as activists attempted to get the Austrian High Court to grant it the status of a person. The court refused to do so, however.

In June 2008 the environmental committee of the Spanish parliament 
approved a resolution that called for the right to life and freedom for great apes.

In early 2010, Thomas White, a professor of ethics at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, caused a stir by suggesting that 
dolphins should be treated as ”non-human persons."

In 2014, Professor 
Peter Singer wanted to re-define chimpanzees as people.

In April 2014 animal rights activists claimed that 
two research chimpanzees, Hercules and Leo, were being unlawfully detained.

Some activists are not content with giving human rights to animals. They also want to give them to rivers.

Now, the animal rights have set their signs on the moon. Here’s what they say -  that the Moon must be given special rights.

A  meteor  was seen in England  this week. First, they people who saw this taught that the noisee was produced by fighter jets, but the Ministry of Defence quikcly announced that this couldn't have been the case, according to the BBC.

 

Thanks to satellite images, it was later confirmed to be a fireball meteor, according to the BBC.

Asteroids and meteors bring to mind the catastrophe that will touch Earth from time ti time, for instance in destruction t  in Russia in the early part of   the 20th century, and   in the book of Revelation.

Some people think that the earth was riddled with water a  through a meteor.

A rare daytime fireball meteor triggered a loud sonic boom across parts of the United Kingdom and France over the weekend.

Ever since it floated into our system, the interstellar visitor Oumuamua has intrigued and perplexed scientists. In 2017, 'Oumuamua was heralded as a spaceship sent by aliens. 

This was the opinion that Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb had. This was the opinion that Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb had. However, a new study says that 'Oumuamua's origin is explained by the fact that “two Arizona State University researchers argue that a nitrogen iceberg fits the data at least as well as a hydrogen iceberg: Such an iceberg could have become a wide disk as its surface slowly evaporated during its travels through the galaxy, just like a bar of soap flattens over the course of many showers. And,like hydrogen, evaporating nitrogen wouldn't be visible to telescopes””.

Some evolutionists think that a winged shark lived in Mexico in the ocean about 93 millions of years, ago.  It resembled a cross between a a shark and a manta ray.

It is called Aquilolamna milarcae or eagle shark of the Milarca Museum.

Even some of today’s creatures are a mix of foreign body parts, for instance the platypus is an enigma for evolution.  The platypus is a mammal, but it has a duck’s beak and it lays eggs.

A German research term has found mollusks, filter feeders, sea stars, sea cucumbers,in  Antarctica  and at least five species of fish and two squid species in the  just 30 kilometers or 18 milies below the surface

The deep sea has many interesting features. the animals are  spectacular, and the  deep sea animals defy Darwinian expectations.

But these animals must be created. They could not evolve.

How did we get our phosphorus that is needed for our dna and rna?

Life on Earth may have begun with a flash of  lightning.

According to evolutionists, the answer to how we got the phosphorus it needed to make the first DNA and RNA molecules might be in the sky.  A new study, lead by Benjamin Hess, a graduate student at Yale University's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences said that "Lightning strikes may have therefore played a role in providing phosphoros . …we show for the first time that lightning strikes were likely a significant source of reactive phosphorus on Earth around the time that life formed 3.5 billion to 4.5 billion years ago,"

Phosphorus (P) is one of our planet’s general chemical elements. Without it we would not have RNA DNA and our ATP, and thus we would not have life.

Just recently, we heard that life could start on Venus, which was  later proved to be false.

The Biblical scroll discovered in Israel

Fragments of a biblical scroll dating back some 1900 years has been found in the deserts of Israel not far from where the Dead Sea scrolls of Qumran were found.These documents are from the south of Israel.

“The cave's existence has been known for some time; it gets its macabre name from 40 ancient human skeletons that were discovered there in the 1960s. The skeletons are of people who starved to death during the Bar Kokhba revolt, which occurred between A.D. 132 and A.D.135, when the Jewish people in the region revolted against the Roman Empire. The revolt was crushed, with some ancient writers claiming that over 500,000 Jews were killed and many others deported from the region

The biblical scrolls contain parts of the minor prophets of Zechariah and Nahum as well as the corpse of a boy or girl and a basket that is older than any such instrument so far. They say that the corpse is  6,00 years old and the basket 11,000 years – thus not counting for Noah’s Flood.

Why Did the Human Brain Grow In Size?

Joel Kontinen  

Evolutionists believe that ”over the course of the Pleistocene epoch, between 2.6 million years ago and 11,700 years ago, the brains of humans and their relatives grew“.

Why was this?

Scientists from Tel Aviv University have a new hypothesis as to why: As the largest animals on the landscape disappeared, the scientists propose, Human brains had to grow to enable the hunting of smaller, swifter prey.

However, However, not all scientist agree with the Israeli claim, John Hawks, a paleoanthropologist at the University of Wisconsin–Madison who was not involved in the research and was skeptical of its conclusions. He says thar for instance homo florensis had smaller brain size, yet they, hunted big elephants.

Our brain is  a Darwinin engma. They can be equipped for better repair

No little green men in the universe

Just 5 years ago, physicists opened a new window on the universe when they first detected gravitational waves, ripples in space itself set off when massive black holes or neutron stars spiral together. Even as discoveries pour in, researchers are already planning bigger, more sensitive detectors.

 And a Ford versus Ferrari kind of rivalry has emerged, with scientists in the United States simply proposing detectors 10 times bigger than the ones they have now, and researchers in Europe pursuing a more radical design that would combine six detectors in a single underground observatory. Researchers say detectors 10 times more sensitive than the ones they have now could detect all black hole mergers within the observable universe and spot hundreds of mergers of neutron stars, laying bare the nature of the ultradense matter in neutron stars. But, it's early days for the U.S. project, which is called the Cosmic Explorer, and the European project, which is known as the Einstein Telescope.

However, no little green men  the universe have been detected, Life cannot come about by Darwinian ways. It has to be created.

All attempts to listen to alien sounds have turned out to be false. For instance, an interstellar cloud destroys belief in aliens and all subsequent attempts have been futile.

New Scientist has said that aliens are more likely than God.

But only if we a priori rule out the 
God who in the beginning created everything.

Life cannot create itself.

Evolutionists: A 4.6 Billion Year old protoplanet in the early solar system spawned a unique type of meteorite

Evolutionists believe that a lonely meteorite that landed in the Sahara Desert in 2020 is older than  Earth. The primeval space rock is supposedly about 4.6 billion years old, and is the oldest known example of magma from space.

 

The meteorite, called Erg Chech 002 (EC 002), is likely a rare surviving chunk of a lost baby planet that was destroyed or absorbed by bigger rocky planets during our solar system's formation. 

Approximately 3,100 known meteorites originated in crust and mantle layers of rocky asteroids, but they reveal little about protoplanet diversity when our solar system was young. About 95% come from just two parent bodies, and around 75% of those originated from one source — possibly the asteroid 4 Vesta, one of the largest objects in the asteroid belt, the researchers reported.

 Here’s how the evolutionists claimed it: EC 002 stood out. Radioactive versions, or isotopes, of aluminum and magnesium indicated that the meteorite's parent was an ancient body dating to 4.566 billion years ago, and EC 002's chemical composition revealed that it emerged from a partly-melted magma reservoir in the parent body's crust.

 

This is just an example of Darwinian speculation
