Human ancestor 'Lucy' was hairless, new research suggests.

 

Joel Kontinen

Some evolutionists propose that Lucy was hairy, but new research supposes that she was not.

They say that Lucy was the mother of us all. This supposedly 3,2 million year old fossil belonging to the genus of Australopithecus afarensis.

”Popular renderings dress her in thick, reddish-brown fur, with her face, hands, feet and breasts peeking out of denser thickets. ”This might be wrong, hairy picture of Lucy, it turns out. ”

For evolutionist, this posed the question of why they left being nude, clothes became the norm.

Lucy was an ape. For creationist, God made humans to lose their nudity in Genesis 3 after the fallof mankind.

“NASA has posted a stunning photo of a "space potato"— but it is actually Phobos, the Martian moon that is locked on a slow collision course with the Red Planet.

The space agency imaged the lumpy, starchy-looking moon using the High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera on board NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, which has been studying the Red Planet since arriving in its orbit in 2006.

Phobos, named after the Greek god of fear, is roughly 157 times smaller than Earth's moon and is one of Mars' two natural satellites, alongside the even smaller Deimos, whose name comes from the Greek god of dread. “

The present survey rests on Mars and its moons being formed millions of years ago,

Scientists, who believe in evolution say that that the ””moons were once roaming rocks and were snared into Mars' orbit by the planet's gravitational field. A recent image analysis of Phobos' craggy yet highly reflective surface suggested the moon was once a comet and came from the asteroid belt located between the Red Planet and Jupiter.”

Those sounds like science fiction, relying on moon or planet they and  we could not see.

Evolutionists believe hat that there were multiple ice ages, In the in the last ice ages, a fossil of a the a mummified wolf was found in Siberia, after being locked away for more than 44,000 years. Scientists have now completed a necropsy (an animal autopsy) on the ancient predator, which was discovered by a river in the Republic of Sakha — also known as Yakutia — in 2021. 

But the ice age was brought about by Noah’s Flood, So that there is  no  way a second one could infect the world.

“Researchers took samples of the wolf's internal organs and gastrointestinal tract to detect ancient viruses and microbiota, and to understand its diet when it died. Soft tissues are dehydrated, allowing the body to be preserved in a frozen time capsule.”

Some fish are big, Recently, a fish was sighted on the coast of Oregon,

 “Beachgoers were stunned when a massive, 7-foot-long (2 meters) fish with a round body, huge fins and bulging eyes washed up along the coast of Oregon.”

This fish’ is a hoodwinker sunfish (Mola tecta). It was 2.2 metres or 7.3 long and is one of the largest bony fish in the world.

Yes, God can create tiny fish and fish that are  really  huge.

"There was this gigantic river system": Researchers find ancient lost world deep beneath Antarctic ice.

A research icebreaker Polarstern in front of a giant iceberg in the Amundsen Sea. Researchers on this vessel have discovered evidence of a giant river that once ran across West Antarctica. 

Noah’s Flood is gaining some traction . from in Antarctica,   

“Geologists digging into the massive ice sheet of West Antarctica have discovered the remains thisof an ancient river system that once flowed for nearly a thousand miles.” but some years ago it was not.

According to evolutionists, this is connected to climate change

“Between 34 million to 44 million years ago, an epoch known as the middle-to-late Eocene, Earth's atmosphere transformed drastically. As carbon dioxide levels plummeted, global cooling formation of glaciers on an ice-free Earth.” 

This has problems, since ‘ most of West today is covered in ice ‘.  but some years ago, it wasn’t,

Saturn's moon Titan is experiencing coastal erosion from methane seas

Saturn’s moon Titan has coastlines matching ones on Earth that have been carved by waves, hinting that Titan’s hydrocarbon seas and lakes also has them

Saturn’s moon Titan is an evolutionary dilemma. It’s age is not what the big bang scientist say, but it is far younger.  

“Craggy coastlines appear to have been carved out by waves around the methane seas and lakes of Saturn’s largest moon, Titan – and a NASA mission launching in 2028 could give us a closer look.

Titan is the only body in the solar system apart from Earth that has liquid on its surface, in the form of lakes and oceans made up of hydrocarbons like liquid methane, ethane and other organic molecules. Scientists think that winds in Titan’s thick nitrogen-rich atmosphere might produce rippling waves on these lakes, but these have never been directly observed because the moon’s atmosphere is too hazy to peer throughit

The New Horizons mission to Pluto, now zooming out of the Kuiper belt, has made a discovery that could upend what we know about where the solar system ends

Now, Rose Palermo at the US Geological Survey in Florida and her colleagues have found that the shape of Titan’s coastlines are best explained by the existence of waves on the ocean surface that have eroded them over time.”

What could the climate change supporters say of this? They have been  silent of the happenings, just focusing on what is happening in Gaza, after the rescue of the four hostages in which hundreds of  people were slaid in the successful attempt,

What would the Israelis say about the fires brought about by Hezbollah?

“Nearly 15,000 acres of land in the Upper Galilee and Golan Heights have been burnt in wildfires sparked by Hezbollah rocket barrages.

The Israeli government on Sunday approved a proposal to purchase around 200 fire trucks for northern communities.

The 50-million-shekel ($13.4 million) plan would see the purchase of 40 vans and 150 all-terrain vehicles to be deployed with volunteer firefighting teams.

Nearly 15,000 acres of land in the Upper Galilee and Golan Heights have been burnt in wildfires sparked by Hezbollah rocket barrages in 2024, according to the Israel Nature and Parks Authority.

The authority noted that 75% of the damage took place during the first two weeks of June.

Around 60,000 Israelis living in northern communities were forced to evacuate in October when the Hezbollah terror organization began daily rocket and drone attacks. Leaders of the Iran-backed terror group have said they will continue the attacks to prevent Israelis from returning to their homes. Since October 7, the Hezbollah attacks have killed 10 civilians and 14 soldiers.

Israeli officials have been calling for Hezbollah to be disarmed and removed from Southern Lebanon in accordance with UN Security Council resolution 1701, which ended the 2006 Second Lebanon War.”

The latest view on black holes is quite interesting, it supposed that some black holes were very small,  evolutionist propose that were formed after the Big Bang in the early universe.

“The universe may have once been speckled with tiny black holes with a strange property called colour charge. These exotic objects, if they existed, would have formed in the instants after the big bang and evaporated just as quickly, but they could have upset the balance of elements that formed in the early universe.

Minuscule black holes formed right at the beginning of the cosmos are known as primordial black holes.”  

Yes, this study is a mixture of millions years and Darwinism but it does not deal  Darwinism with the real problem.

Ice Age made possible by something outside the solar system

According to evolution, two million years ago, “an encounter with a cold cloud of gas and dust could have caused our planet's "protective giant bubble" to draw back, potentially cooling our planet, new research claims.”

How could it has happen? Some researchers believe that ” Earth may have briefly lost protection from the sun around two million years ago, left to endure the extreme environment of interstellar space as the solar system passed through a dense cloud of gas and dust between stars.

At that time, early human ancestors shared our planet with prehistoric animals like mastodons and sabretooth tigers. It's also when Earth was in the midst of the ice age that ended only around 12,000 years ago. Ice ages are brought about by a range of factors, “

The only decision for the ice age is the flood of Noah’s day, which usher in condition’s that made the ice age possible.

Mars is covered by water. This is the conclusion of scientists who studied the volcanoes of the solar system.  They said that water frost has been spotted atop Mars' gargantuan equatorial volcanoes for the first time — defying previous beliefs that the presence of water there was impossible.

“Scientists spotted a hair-thin dusting of frost atop the peaks of the svolcanoes in the Tharsis region of the Red Planet he Red Planet — the largest mountains in the solar system, which tower up to three times the height of Mount Everest. In colder months, the frost could consist of up to 150,000 tons of water, or the equivalent of 60 Olympic swimming pools. “

When God created the solar system, He saw that water was everywhere, including planets and even moons.

Elephants seem to invent names for each other

An analysis of their vocalisations suggests that African savannah elephants invent names for each other, making them the only animals other than humans thought to do so.

Elephants have an interesting feature. They probably invent names for each other. A survey of elephants sounds of more than 600 recordings found that “some calls from African savannah elephants (Loxodonta africana) seem to contain name-like components specific to certain individuals. What’s more, those individuals know their names, responding more strongly than others do when calls addressed to them are played back on a speaker.”

“I had noticed from years back that when an elephant gave a contact rumble, within a group of elephants I would see one individual lift its head, listen and give an answer,” says Joyce Poole at ElephantVoices, a small organisation that studies elephants and aims to protect them. “And the rest seemed to just ignore the elephant. So I did wonder whether the calls were being directed toward a specific individual.”

This speaks of intelligent design.

”It has been more than four years since Darnella Frazier, then a teenager, captured on camera the murder of George Floyd, an unarmed Black man, by white police officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Yet the impact on Frazier’s brain of what she witnessed could linger for much longer.”

“I still hold the weight and trauma of what I witnessed,” Frazier wrote in a social media post on the one-year anniversary of Floyd’s murder. “I’m not who I used to be. A part of my childhood was taken from me.”

For instance the Palestinian anger towards Jews, including the college intifada slogans, of all Jews is a testimony of all Israelis are the source of racism.

“Humans domesticated  horses 1,000 years later than previously thought, first for access to their meat and milk and then for their transportation capabilities, a new study of ancient horse DNA suggests. “

A new study shows that hrses were domesticated around 2200 B.C.

The study analysed 475 ancient horse genomes tin he journal Nature and found out that the horses were not tied to he migration of people across Europe  thousands of years ago.

100-foot 'walking tree' in New Zealand looks like an Ent

“An unusual northern rātā tree that looks like it is striding across an empty field has been crowned New Zealand's Tree of the Year. The giant plant, which looks strikingly similar to an Ent from "The Lord of the Rings,"

“The strange tree, which has been nicknamed the "walking tree" because it looks like it's striding across a field, is a northern rātā (Metrosideros robusta) — one of New Zealand's tallest flowering tree species that can live for up to 1,000 years.”

“ It's roots and long, arm-like branches make the tree look like an Ent — a fictional race of tree-like creatures that guard the forests of Middle-earth. The tree stands alone in the middle of a large paddock next to a cemetery near Karamea on the west coast of South Island. It is around 32 meters or 105 feet tall — around the same height as a seven-story building, “

“Northern rātā trees are epiphytes — a type of tree that tarts life growing on the surface of a host tree before growing aerial roots that eventually reach the ground. The walking tree likely began life high up in the canopy of its host, living off air and rainwater before reaching the ground. Its unusual root layout was likely caused by how it grew around its host tree, which probably died off centuries ago.”

Trees are wonderful. Some scientists say that they sleep.

What do we know about radio waves? We might think that they are from stars, but what about those from those of dead stars?

“The radio waves we see from pulsars have a mysterious glitch – but now we know the ingredients that must be present in the heart of these ultra-dense stellar corpses to give their emissions a hiccup.

About 60 years ago, researchers noticed that the radio emissions from pulsars can suddenly and unexpectedly change in  4,6, frequency, indicating that the pulsar’s rotation slowed down.”

Wormholes are a mystery in science. “They are that are surrounded by matter, like the ring that gathers around a black hole, could create strange rotating clouds of hot plasma. Anything that falls in one end could sh  oot out the other at 200 million kilometres per hour, or even faster if the wormhole is enormous.”

According to evolutionists, “a wormhole is a tunnel between two locations in space-time. The simplest versions of these hypothetical objects have black holes as “mouths” on either end of the throat connecting them – nothing. “

In science is so wonderful, even though we might not understand it, but in God’s creation everything is delightful.
