Researchers have found dinosaur footprints in Wales that according to evolutionists date more than 200 million years,

Dinosaur footprints found on a beach in south Wales are actually a "trackway" of footprints , 

The imprints in Penarth, in the Vale of Glamorgan, were reported to researchers in 2020, sparking a wide-ranging study into their origins.

It is believed the footprints are from an early ancestor of the giant diplodocus, and date back to the Triassic period.

The footprints have been scanned using state-of-the-art 3D imaging technology but will be left in place until they are eroded by the sea.

The study into the footprints was conducted by a group of palaeontologist from Cardiff University, National Museum Wales, Natural History Museum, Liverpool John Moores University and the University of Lyon.

Like much of Europe, Finland was left the second world war left the country in economically bereft.

it needed to ramp up productivity fast and the government decided the answer was forestry, the country’s industrial backbone for generations.

Vast tracts of peatland were drained and trees planted, blanketing the swampy ground that covers nearly a third of the country. “These sites are incredibly carbon rich and often have high levels of biodiversity, but they’re not always the best for growing forests. “,

Now the ones who ones who try to make our environment save want to rId Finland of her swamps.

Human genes are become active after fertilization

A new study has found out that genes are active from after fertilization challenges the textbook view that genes don't become active in human embryos until they are made up of four-to-eight cells, two or three days after fertilisation.

This is the way Christians have been saying all the time. This is a signal for abortion, as kids that old are fully human.

The newly discovered activity begins at the one-cellstage -- far sooner than previously thought -- promising to change the way we think about our developmental origins.

The research, published on the 21 December in Cell Stem Cell, was co-led by Professor Tony Perry at the University of Bath, Dr Giles Yeo at the University of Cambridge and Dr Matthew VerMilyea at Ovation Fertility, US.

”Using a method called RNA-sequencing, the team applied precision analysis to individual human eggs and one-cell embryos to make a detailed inventory of tell-tale products of gene activity, called RNA transcripts. It revealed that hundreds of genes awaken in human one-cell embryos. Because the gene activity starts small, previous techniques had not been sensitive enough to detect it.”

The researcher say that looking at biological process as the kinds are only at the one-cell embryo stage is a is a fundamental step.

Ichthyosaurs found in the driest place on Earth

The fossil remains of one of the ocean’s earliest giants have been unearthed in Nevada, which according to Mirror, is one of the driest places on Earth. This brings to mind the global flood of Noah’s day, some 4,500 years ago. We can forget about evolution and its millions of years.

It is named Cymbospondylus youngorum. This ichthyosaur had a 2-metre-long skull and may have stretched around 17 metres in length.

Lars Schmitz at the W.M. Keck Science Department in California, a member of the team that analysed the remains, describes it as a “jaw-dropping” find.

According to evolution, ichthyosaurs were marine reptiles that lived between about 249 million and 90 million yearsago and had a body shape reminiscent of modern whales and dolphins. Some grew large, and C. youngorum was comparable in size to a modern sperm whale.

This ichthyosaur was found in 246 million-year-old rocks.

Evolutionists speculate that the earliest whales are believed to have evolved around 56 million years ago. It took another 50 million years to grow to the size some species are today.

According to evolution, the largest animals to have ever lived occupied the marine environment, early marine giant Scienceodern cetaceans evolved their large size over tens of millions of years in response to the increased productivity of cold marine waters.

 However, according to Darwinists, whales were not the first marine giants to evolve. Sander et al. describe a 244-million-year-old fossil ichthyosaur that would have rivalled modern cetaceans in size.

 The animal existed at most 8 million years after the emergence of the first ichthyosaurs, suggesting a much more rapid size expansion that may have been fuelled by processes after the Permian mass extinction.

 However, size does not involve evolution, God could have created the ichthyosaur as its own species from the beginning. 

At times, Darwinists has said these animals evolved sharp teeth to crush shellfish.  

 Darwinian folktales are interesting. Some, for instance warn of the use of predestination in biology, as we have four limbs because we have a belly - A new evolution story.

Big floods can create false rings in trees

Joel Kontinen

Usually, a tree only grows one ring a year. Sometimes a tree will form more than one growth ring in a year. Now, such “false rings,” found in trees along the U.S. Gulf Coast, have been linked to hurricanes or maybe big floods.

“Clay Tucker, a geographer at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, and his colleagues spent much of 2020 and this year wading and canoeing through stands of bald cypress trees across three river basins in coastal Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.”

“Tucker and his colleagues linked 20 instances of false rings since 1932 with big floods, as recorded by stream gauges.” This is what Science shows.

This clearly points to the Flood of Noah’s days as accounting for the false rings.

Turning diamonds into methane

According to a recent study, diamonds can be made into methane. 

“The deep earth's carbon cycle accounts for about 90% of the whole carbon cycle. despite this, to date the cycle happening beneath the earth's surface is little known. this phenomenon is crucial to life on our planet as it allows carbon in the deep earth to get back to the atmosphere.”

This turns the Darwinian concept of science stating that climate change is based on science into changing carbon dioxide into something else is a not supported by science. We would not want the researchers turning our diamonds into methane.
