For evolutionists, diamonds speak of millions of years.

For creationists, the story is different. Dr. John Baumgardner discovered that both coal and diamonds contain measurable amounts of carbon-14. The half life of C-14 is approximately 5,700 years so diamonds that are assumed to be millions of years old should not contain any radiocarbon.

Now, evolutionists want to claim that some diamonds were produced near the Earth's core, they said, which would make them very old.

"The "Hope" diamond, a large and famous stone, as well as the "Cullinan" diamond, the largest rough gemstone ever found, are different. They're "super deep" stones, new research confirms. "

Our Created Eyes Move In Perfect Synchrony

Why do we have two eyes?

"You have a spare one in case you have an accident, and the second reason is depth perception, which we evolved to help us hunt," said Dr. David Guyton, professor of ophthalmology at The Johns Hopkins University. But having two eyes would lead to double vision if they didn't move together in perfect synchrony. So how does the body ensure our eyes always work together?

That sentence without the word evolved is all right.

Dr, Guytoc goes on the explain: “To prevent double vision, the brain exploits a feedback system, which it uses to finely tune the lengths of the muscles controlling the eyes. This produces phenomenally precise eye movements", Guyton said.

Each eye has six muscles regulating its movement in different directions, and each one of those muscles must be triggered simultaneously in both eyes for them to move in unison, according to a 2005 review in the Canadian Medical Association Medical Association Journal. "It's actually quite amazing when you think about it," Guyton told Live Science. "The brain has a neurological system that is fantastically organized because the brain learns over time how much stimulation to send to each of the 12 muscles for every desired direction of gaze."

However, the ability is acquired, "Babies master it usually within three to four months of life," said Guyton.

This means that our eyes with their wonderful scenery are created by God.

Wave of Covid Brings Worldwide Wave of Anti-semitism

The tragic and shocking killing of Afro-American George Floyd by a white policeman in Minneapolis, a new stage has emerged where some anti-Israel activists inject anti-Semitic themes into valid civil rights protests. They claimt that the slave traders who brought Africans to America were Jews; police forces in the US are brutal and racist because they are trained by the Israel Police; and that African- Americans and Palestinians share the same cruel fate.

The controversy is not limited to the USA, In Europe, and the Near East, the covid-19 pandemic has created a unique way of anti-Semitism.

"It partly reiterates classic antisemitic themes, includes conspiracy theories alongside medieval blood libels, now renewed in a 21st century format. An Oxford University study revealed that 19.1% of the British public believe that the Jews caused the pandemic."
.
Dr. Giovanni Quer, an Italian researcher at the Kantor center, which collected data for the study, said: “Universal disasters have been attributed to the Jews and Israel before, giving rise to anti-Semitic discourse such as conspiracy theories blaming Israel for 9/11 or false reports accusing Israeli soldiers of harvesting organs from the bodies of dead Palestinians. The current wave of antisemitism is unprecedented, however, because, spreading very swiftly through the social media, it focused at first on the COVID-19 crisis and then quickly moved on because of social and political changes,” he said.

Islamists describe Israel as the COVID-1948 virus – after the year in which the Jewish state was established.

In Israel, Israel and the Israel Defense Forces are constantly accused of spreading the coronavirus by force among Palestinians, especially inmates in Israeli prisons. This claim, however, completely ignores the facts: So far only one person has died of coronavirus in the Palestinian Authority and Gaza.

Ancient earthquake in Syria


Petrified trees can be seen on many continents. Here’s one on the Greek island of Lesvos.





Joel Kontinen


The first settlers of Abu Hureyra were hunter-gatherers who lived off the land. A terrible drought drove the people to begin cultivating grains that they had previously collected from the wild, turning them into the first known farmers, previous research has revealed.

Then, about 13,000 years ago, something very bad seems to have occurred, leaving a layer of carbon suggesting dramatic fires. But for much of the last decade, scientists inspecting the remnants of the village have debated what happened, unable to decide whether the carbon formed during an airburst or during more mundane fires among the thatched

This could have happened during the flood of Noah’s days, but secularists don’t allow it to have happened that way.

Icy moons are the evolutionists best bet for finding alien life, they think that the icy moons of Jupiter and Saturn, particularly Titan and Enceladus , which orbit Saturn, and Jupiter’s moon Europa have all the liquid water beneath their frozen outer shells to harbour life. they think that life exists.

Oceans might host life

"If life exists in these places, Kevin Hand wants to find it. As director of the ocean worlds lab at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, he is a leading expert on the potential habitability of these far-flung moons and a key player in the design of missions to explore them."

However, he obviously thinks that given an earth-like atmosphere, evolution would give life to those that are without it. However, life only come from life. It has to be he obviously thinks that given an earth-like atmosphere, evolution would give life to those that are without it. Nonetheless, life only come from life. It has be created .

Evolutionists have discovered a new shrimp like creature . The Cambrian creature hails from 518 million years ago, It is called Xiaocaris luoi, literally means "Luo's small shrimp.

It was just 2 centimetres or 0.8 inches long but it had weapons with what to attack they enemies or predators.

"This is a tiny animal that is nevertheless pretty well equipped for scavenging," study co-lead researcher Javier Ortega-Hernández, assistant professor of organismic and evolutionary biology at Harvard University, said.

The study was published online June 1 in the journal BMC Evolutionary Biology.

Why Evolution is Different

Joel Kontinen

Why evolution is different. Natural selection can only provide small changes but they can't change an animal into something else.

This video shows how natural disasters can turn a planet into what we see around us. But can they?

Evolution, however, relies on the assumption that order improves over time. Evolutionists have argued that Earth is not a closed system because it does get energy from the Sun, but an influx of raw energy rarely if ever brings about order and progress.

Mathematics Professor Granville Sewell (University of Texas, El Paso) has written several papers on the second law.

A hefty, 10-foot-long (3 meters) crocodile relative had an odd way of getting around 120 million years ago , in what is now South Korea. The huge beast walked on its two hind legs like a T. rex, researchers said after analyzing footprints left behind by the reptile.

There are no known fossilized bones of this strange crocodile, but dozens of its up to 120 million year-old footprints, including one with skin impressions, are preserved in stone.

"For the first time, we have proof that some of the giant crocodiles of the Cretaceous were bipedal and really designed like the carnivorous dinosaurs," study co-researcher Martin Lockley, professor emeritus of geology at the University of Colorado Denver, told Live Science
.

Evolutionists are scary of almost every creature they find. Of today’s creatures, the duck-billed platypus , the spiny anteater and the aardvark are huge puzzles for Darwinians.

Astronomers Can’t Decide When The Big Bang Happened

Joel Kontinen

"Astronomers don't know exactly when the first stars formed in the Universe because they haven't been observed yet. And now, new observations from the Hubble Space Telescope suggest the first stars and galaxies may have formed even earlier than previously estimated.

Why? We *still* haven't seen them, even with the best telescope we've got, pushed to its limits
.
A group of researchers used Hubble to look back in time (and space) as far as it could see, hoping to study these first generation of stars of the early Universe, which are called Population III stars.
Hubble peered and squinted back to when the Universe was just 500 million years old – which is thought to be Hubble's limit — and found no evidence of these very first stars.

The name — Population III – is a little confusing. Shouldn't these first stars be called Population I stars? Let's face it, astronomers have never been great about naming things.

The name Population I had already been taken when astronomers classified the stars of the Milky Way as
Population I (stars like the Sun, which are rich in heavier elements). Then, the name Population II was used to classify older stars in the Milky Way with a low heavy-element content.


Yes, population III stars have not been found.

Population III to classify the stars that were forged from the primordial material that emerged from the Big Bang, approximately 13.8 billion years ago.

Now, Rachana Bhatawdekar of the European Space Agency led this most recent study, probing the early Universe from about 500 million to 1 billion years after the Big Bang .

United Nations COVID-19 Response.

"The purpose of clinical trials is to find out. Because the drug is associated with Donald Trump these highly esteemed scientists — authors, editors, reviewers — all embraced dubious data to impugn a medicine that might, or might not, help sick people."

The Guarding, A British newspaper had the following text:

"A Guardian investigation can reveal the US-based company Surgisphere, whose handful of employees appear to include a science fiction writer and an adult-content model, has provided data for multiple studies on Covid-19 co-authored by its chief executive, but has so far failed to adequately explain its data or methodology."

"Data it claims to have legitimately obtained from more than a thousand hospitals worldwide formed the basis of scientific articles that have led to changes in Covid-19 treatment policies in Latin American countries. It was also behind a decision by the WHO and research institutes around the world to halt trials of the controversial drug hydroxychloroquine. On Wednesday, the WHO announced those trials would now resume."


This is just an example of scientific bias that has plagued main stream science for ages.

The Lord has made everything special in their way. Just look at a worm Called Elvis worm has been found..

"Four new species of deep-sea worm, whose iridescent scales resemble the outfits worn by singer Elvis Presley, have been described by researchers at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego. All four are have been placed in the Peinaleopolynoe genus, a group of scale worms distantly related to earthworms, using DNA sequencing. One species was given the name Peinaleopolynoe elvisi, a nod to the king of rock ’n’ roll himself. The specimens were collected from the bottom of the eastern Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico and an area near Costa Rica, using a crewed research submarine and remotely operated vehicles."

Largest Mayan Structure Found

Joel Kontinen

While the date of Stonehenge might be off by a few hundred years or so (due to the effect of Noah’s Flood , which very likely changed the atmospheric carbon-14 levels), the discovery nonetheless shows that people could build sophisticated structures much earlier than previously thought.

Here's how Life Science records the discovery of the largest Maya structure.” The oldest and largest Maya monumental structure on record has just been discovered after scientists shot millions of lasers from a plane to map an area in southern Mexico.

At the newfound site, called Aguada Fénix, researchers found an artificial plateau measuring about 0.9 miles 1.4 kilometers or 0,9 miles long, and 399 meters or 0.2 miles wide and between 10 and 15 metres or 33 to 50 feet high. And it likely served as a communal gathering place for the Maya.

However, this idea is now under fire. Radiocarbon dating of 69 samples from Aguada Fénix show that it was used between 1000 B.C. and 800 B.C. After it was largely abandoned by 750 B.C., small groups returned to use the structure.

Aguada Fénix isn't the only site overturning the traditional interpretation. For instance, a ceremonial complex and artificial plateau built at Ceibal in 950 B.C. (until now, considered the oldest Maya ceremonial center), indicates that the early Maya built large structures even before the civilization became organized under dynasties with centralized government, the researchers said.

“It's no surprise that the Maya built a place to congregate, Lucero said. Other monumental structures, including
Stonehenge in Great Britain
and Göbekli Tepe in Turkey , show "when people lived dispersed and/or a more nomadic lifestyle, that they created a community to build such places," and they didn't need elite political leaders to organize it, Takeshi Inomata, a professor of anthropology at the University of Arizona, who led a new study on the finding said this.

Did Darwin’s teaching Foment The Terror That Has Happen In America

The Darwinists have succeeded in taking stock of the Pigmies: In the early 1900, the African pigmy Ota Benga (1883-1916) was put in a in Bronx Zoo, to show his affinity to monkeys.

"For generations, American public school children learned from their biology textbooks the pseudoscience that Caucasians are more “advanced” on the evolutionary ladder than Africans. Yet this was the scientific consensus of its day. “Listen to the scientists,” I imagine that 19th- and 20th-century racists might have instructed us. In the multiple award-winning Human Zoos, Dr. West unearths a forgotten but instructive chapter in that painful history."

This is what disbelief in God brings about.

Charles Darwin introduced this idea in his book Descent of Man and Selection in Relation to Sex (1871):

At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilized races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races. At the same time, the anthropomorphous apes. . . will no doubt be exterminated. The break will then be rendered wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilized state, as we may hope, than the Caucasian, and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as at present between the Negro or Australian and the gorilla.” (vol. 1, p. 201).

Donald Trump signed an executive order for spreading religious freedom

Some countries think this is dangerous.




Joel Kontinen

While the coronavirus is taking its toll and America is burning, we should not forget about the ones who are suffering.

President Donald Trump not hidden his faith but has acted to bring religious liberty for all people – regardless of their status or the county where they lived.

Here’s what the Western Journal says about him: “President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday to promote religious freedom for oppressed religious minorities around the world.
“Religious freedom, America’s first freedom, is a moral and national security imperative,” the order read, according to a text posted on the White House website. “Religious freedom for all people worldwide is a foreign policy priority of the United States, and the United States will respect and vigorously promote this freedom.”

Yet again, President Trump is taking a decisive action to keep his promise to people of faith around the world,” White House counsellor Kellyanne Conway said of the order, according to Fox."

This millipede like creature lived in Scotland about 425 million years ago. Researchers have called it Kampecaris obanensis it lived in the island of Kerrera in the Scottish Inner Hebrides. They suspect that it ate decomposing plants.

“Fossils of the oldest-known plant with a stem, called Cooksonia, were found in the same ancient lake region as Kampecaris.”

“Kampecaris, about 2.5 centimetres long with a segmented body, resembled modern millipedes but was a member of an extinct group and is not ancestral to millipedes alive today. Its legs were not preserved in the fossil.

It was an arthropod, a broad group that includes insects, spiders, millipedes, centipedes and crustaceans like crabs and shrimp.
