No dark matter in galaxy

 

Joel Kontinen

Cosmic evolution is in trouble.

"Dark matter, which accounts for around 85% of the matter in the universe, seems to be absent from the galaxy NGC 1277, part of the Perseus Cluster of galaxies. ,"

The galaxy is situated some 240 million from Earth and. it is the first galaxy that does not contain dark matter. 

This is a serious blow to big bang cosmology, The big bang has other problems as well, for instance missing antimatter, cosmic inflation, quantum fluctuation.

A comet that has just exploded  is currently approaching Earth,

The comet, called 12P/Pons-Brooks (12Pd 12P/Pons-Brooks (12P), "is a cryovolcanic — or cold volcano — comet, ,"

Many comets have elliptical paths that bring them very close to the sun. A comet loses much of its material each time it approaches the sun.  It has been estimated that a comet will loose all its mass in under 100 000 years. This is a serious problem for the secular view of a 4.6 billion year old solar system. If the solar system were that old, we should not see any comets.

Dinosaurs are not millions of years old

“An antelope-sized dinosaur  that grazed on plants and roamed South-East Asia some 145 million to 200 million years ago has been discovered in Thailand. The new species, named Minimocursor phunoiensis, was identified from a set of fossils unearthed in the Phu Kradung Formation in the north of the country, which has thrown up a wealth of specimens in recent years.”

The assumed age of the dinosaur is wrong, as God made dinosaurs in the begging of creationn but not millions of years ago,, as science journals state,

The Fall also brought musculoskeletal diseases

Evolutionists suppose that man started as an ape, with skeletal changes that  helped him to walk on alll his limbs, hat they also said that it brought susceptibility to several musculoskeletal diseases.

 This study does not take into account the fact of Fall of man that  brought diseases into mankind, and the Flood of Noah which also disturbed the timing of the assumed evolution,

Evolution suggests that  in northwestern Greenla "was ice free during the interglacial that occurred around 400,000 years ago ."

While they think that  Noah’s Flood was none existent or occurred only in the Near East, 

Evolutionists supose the north of Europe was covered in snow multiple times,

Science  says that  “the average global air temperature was similar to what we will soon experience because of human-caused climate warming. ".

A Space rock just touched the Earth

A 60 meters or 200 foot wide asteroid sailed past our planet on July 13, traveling at an estimated 86,000 km/h or  53,000 mph, according to NASA. However, because the rock flew toward Earth from the direction of the sun, our star's glare blinded telescopes to the asteroid's approach until long after it had passed.

In 2013, a roughly 59-foot-long (18 m) asteroid followed a similar path through the sun's glare and went undetected before exploding in the sky over Chelyabinsk,Russia.

A    fireball could also have detonated over the ancient Middle Eastern city of Tall el-Hamman or Sodom around 3,600 years ago. It's possible that the explosion, which was roughly 1,000 times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, set the city instantly ablaze before levelling it with a powerful shockwave, killing all of its inhabitants  

That why the biblical Testament is always correct.

A new study reports that NASA's Perseverance rover has found a diverse menagerie of organic molecules in a Martian crater. .

Organic molecules are composed of carbon, and often include other elements such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur.

" They are an exciting clue for astrobiologists, since they are often thought of as building blocks of life," study lead author Sunanda Sharma, a planetary scientist at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena”

  However she said that “they can be created by processes not related to life.”

It seems  that a naturalistic origin of the solar system is wrought with difficulties.

Llamas are better at performing tasks after watching a human or llama dol, 

This is called called social learning, It is common in primates and in certain birds but not in llamas,  

The researchers tried to get some 30 llamas and offered them food  as a reward,  They wee succesful in their task.

The meteorite NWA 13188 seems to have travelled to space and back. 

“A meteorite found in the Sahara desert in Morocco may have originated on Earth, before being blasted into space and returning from orbit thousands of years later.”

 If confirmed, this space rock would be the first that we know about..

Almost all the meteorites have come from asteroids but only a fraction have come from Mars or the moon.

Reseachers  have also found two asteroids as part of a hunt for rocks that are closer to the sun than Earth and may sometime hit the Earth,

The Moon's crater Is 200 years older than evolutionist thought

Evolutionists think that moon's surface is 200 million years older than they previously estimated.

The new  study relies on the millions of years of the solar systems existence.

“One area that was older than expected was the Mare Imbrium. This crater, now filled with smooth lava flows, makes up the right eye of the "man in the moon." Instead of being 3.9 billion years old, this crater dates back 4.1 billion years, the researchers reported. ”

Did the Cambrian explosion really happen?

According to evolution, “The Cambrian explosion is often presented as a chaotic moment in early evolutionary history.” 

This period, which evolutionists say happened around 540 million to 520 million years ago, a moment when many animal groups first sprang into life and diversified.

But the question is was there a  dramatic burst of biodiversity on Earth?

A cursory flip through any high school biology textbook will inevitably surface a mention of the Cambrian explosion, a period about during which many animal groups first sprang into life and diversified. The event is frequently described as rapid and prolific, evoking a chaotic moment in early evolutionary history. 

”Thomas Servais, a paleontologist and research director at the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), and colleagues published a 2023 paper in Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology arguing that the Cambrian explosion didn't happen in the way it's popularly portrayed.”

He said that it was not an explosion but an increase in the was not abut rather a gradual increase in biodiversity that took throughout the early Paleozoic era or 541 million to 251.9 million years ago, 

This is against the intelligent design paradigm that states that it was an explosion, which the creation model also said so.

Crows know probability

A new study has shown that Carrion crows understand probability, This was a surprise for evolution believing scientist who say that a bird brain is not an insult but they can found mathematicians called   statistical inference in them.

Melissa Johnston at the University of Tubingen in Germany and her team trained two carrion crows (Corvus corone) to peck at nine, different-coloured symbols to receive a reward: a small food pellet or worms .they found that the crows  understood probability, 

But it was God who gave crows such ´prowess,

When evolution says what animals look like

According to evolution, the movement of species across newly connected continents that happened millions of years ago still shapes flora and fauna today.

Skeels et al. reported that that species’ dispersal ability, climate tolerances, and the climate in which they assuming evolved help to explain why biotic exchanges are typically unequal, with more species spreading from one continent than the other.

“Using a model simulating species ranges and diversification paired with paleoenvironmental reconstructions, the authors found that precipitation tolerance influenced vertebrate species movements across Wallace’s Line, which separates the distinct biota of Australia and New Guinea from that of Southeast Asia.”

According to them, species that evolved in dry Australia were less able to cross to Asia, whereas the swath of tropical forest across the region allowed more species to move in the other direction through New Guinea.

But where is the evolution

"Because marsupials and monotreme  . lack a jaw joint at birth, researchers have previously suggested that the animals may use the connection between the middle ear bones and the jaw bones to eat," explains lead researcher Neal Anthwal, from the Center for Craniofacial and Regenerative Biology, King's College, UK at the London Faculty of Dentistry, Oral and Craniofacial Science.
