According to evolutionists, they may have “found traces of the very first stars in the universe. These strange objects, called Population III stars, are expected to have exploded in massive supernovas that destroyed the stars entirely, and astronomers may have seen remnants from one of these extraordinary events.”

“The spectrum of the quasar’s light revealed a huge amount of iron, more than 20 times as much as the sun has. The quasar also seems to have a very low concentration of magnesium.”

This discovery hints that scientists may have found evidence of population 11 stars which would have been destroyed long ago, according to evolution’stimescale.

Darwinist have found an evolutionary process for woodpeckers drumming on trees

Evolutionists have found a Darwinian process for woodpeckers drumming on trees, they say that it resembles how a bird sings.  

Now, researchers think birdsong and drumming may have both emerged from “evolutionary tinkering” in an ancient series of connections in the bird forebrain for fine-scale movements in display behaviour.

Woodpeckers are a Darwinian headache:

Woodpeckers are designed to withstand hard knocks. They have “skulls with spongy layers — particularly in the front regions — that cushion their brains. Robust neck muscles also help to soften the impact, while thick inner eyelids protect their eyes.”

Evolutionists believe that the earliest woodpeckers arrived at least “25 million years” ago, but they could never have survived if their only option was to follow the Darwinian trial-and-error approach.

AI could cause a global disaster

If you an AI scientist, the chance is that you’ll believe that AI decisions could cause a catastrophe as bad as all-out nuclear war already in this century.

Stephen Hawking has warned of the dangers of AI, and Elon Musk has tweeted that artificial intelligence is a bigger threat than North Korea.  

These survey findings come from a survey covering the opinions of 327 researchers who had recently co-authored papers on AI research in natural language processing. In recent years, there have been big advances in this area, with the increased use of large language AI models. 

But artifical intelligence will not tell us how we got life,

How moths fly straight at night

Evolutionists are not fond of the intelligent design skills of the death’s-head hawkmoths to fly straight at night for tens of kilometres. With an airplane, they followed one who flied under 90 kilometres in Germany, about 80 kilometres north of the Swiss Alps.

"The moths, nicknamed for the skull-and-crossbones pattern on their backs, migrate thousands of kilometrers between northern Africa and the Alps during the spring and fall."

These moths plot their course, relying in part on an internal compass attuned to Earth’s magnetic field.

NASA’s Perseverance rover has found organic molecules on Mars

For evolutionists, Mars was formed just like the Earth and it should carry signs of life. Thus, it is no secret that  ”NASA’s Perseverance rover is exploring along-dry river delta on Mars, and it has seen signs that indicate that the region is full of organics – molecules containing carbon that are widely considered to be the building blocks of life.”

The sedimentary rocks that are similar to those found on Earth, they find “contain complex organic molecules called aromatics, as well as clays and sulphate minerals, which can be produced when water interacts with rocks. While none of these materials are definitely signs of life, known as biosignatures”, the evolutionists we are looking in the right place.

How did Saturn get its rings?

 Evolution with its millions of years poses many problems for the universe. Some features are not as old  as the age of thesolar system.

Now, Science has found another problem which has to do with Saturn and its rings. They propose that they are about 100 million years old, they said that Wisdom et al. propose that the “Saturn system previously contained an additional moon, the orbit of which was perturbed by the orbital migration of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon… The authors used numerical simulations to show that the perturbation would have eventually destabilized the system, scattering the additional moon. If it came too close to Saturn, the moon would have been ripped apart by tidal forces, forming the rings.”

Hidden life on Europa

Evolutionists are triumphant. They hope to get pictures of Jupiter’ s moon Europa.

For evolutionists, life could be anywhere. So Jupiter’moon Europa could be a place where life could be found, just as the Antartica of our planet.

 

A British scientist thinks Octupses live on Jupiter’s Moon.

 

The NASA team will even look for signs of the water vapour plumes that recent studies have suggested emanate from Europa.

“The last time a spacecraft got similarly close to Europa was in January 2000 when NASA’s Galileo orbiter swung by at a distance of 351 kilometres,”

The human brain may have a unique feature. 

"Willbrand et al. report that a small groove, the inframarginal sulcus (ifrms), is a previously uncharacterized brain feature.

The ifrms was present in all human samples across a range of ages, but only in about half of chimpanzee brains. A deep-learning approach could automatically locate ifrms in individual human brains. Functionally, the ifrms may be a landmark for the cognitive control network in human."

The birth of donkeys

Donkeys have been important to humans for thousands of years, being the primary source of work and transport for many cultures. Unlike horses, evolutionists knew little was known about the origin and domestication of donkeys. Todd et al. sequenced the genomes of modern and ancient donkeys and found evidence of an eastern African origin over 7000 years ago, with subsequent isolation and divergence of lineages in Africa and Eurasia. The authors also reveal the imprint of desertification on divergence among groups and specifics about donkey breeding and husbandry, including selection for large size and the practice of inbreeding.

Donkeys are mentioned in the Bible, and they have been mans helper for ages. but the timing of 7 ,000 years is a mistake, because this happened regardless of the Flood of Noah's days, which happened some And the origin of donkeys proberly took place in the Near East.

Queen Elizabeth II passes away at age 96

The Christian love and charity were  close to the queen, who promised due “to the utmost of [her] power to maintain the Laws of God and the true profession of the Gospel…[and] maintain in the United Kingdom the Protestant Reformed Religion established by law.”

 She attended church services weekly and frequently made reference to her Christian faith, especially in her annual Christmas addresses. On Christmas Day, 2000, she told the world that “the teachings of Christ and my own personal accountability before God provide a framework in which I try to lead my life.”  

In 2015 she quoted a text from the Gospel of John: "The light shines in the darkness, the darkness has not overcome it. " 

For her, Christ was the light, 

Glory To God Is Seen In Giant Planets

According to evolutionists. giant stars stealing planets from smaller stars could explain why a strange trio of planets are in orbits that they shouldn’t be.

B-type stars are extremely hot stars more than three times as massive as the sun. Astronomers who believe in evolution, didn’t think they could host planets. Then in late 2021 and early 2022, a survey called the B-star Exoplanet Abundance Study (BEAST) found three huge planets on wide orbits around B-type stars,

We are living in a marvellous place. The heavens tell of the glory of God- something that New Scientist will  not tell you about,

New dinosaur found in Africa

A dinosaur Named Mbiresaurus raathi was discovered in Zimbabwe stood at least a metre tall, ran on two legs, weighed around 30 kilograms.

According to evolutionists, this late Triassic fossil could help us understand how the period’s climate influenced the dispersal of early dinosaurs. the researchers date it to be around 230 million years ago.

According to evolution,  dinosaurs are thought to have avoided the harsh deserts to the north of this zone, to which they weren’t well-adapted.

This flies in the face of Artic dinosaurs.
