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.

How do we measure the fitness of animals?

How do we measure the fitness of animals?

Fitness is at the core of evolutionary theory, but Darwinist claim that it is difficult to measure accurately.

They say that it is difficult to measure the long-term fitness of animals, but they did it due to twenty years of precise field observations of a wild passerine bird population

These researchers used their study to come to grips with fitness.

But they could not find the answer. Natural selection that Darwin used in evolution did not give the results they wanted.

'Oldest' Case of Bone Cancer Is Diagnosed in a 240-Million-Year-Old Turtle

The Fall that we hear about in Genesis 4, brought about cancer in humans and animals.

While evolution cannot create life, it can create cancer.

The latest episode is in “240 million” years old cancer, seen in a Triassic period turtle.

“Researchers over at the Museum of Natural History, Leibniz Institute for Research on Evolution and Biodiversity in Berlin, Germany imaged the fossilized left femur of the shell-less turtle, called Pappochelys rosinae. The bone had been discovered in southwestern Germany in 2013.

A co-author Dr. Bruce Rothschild said, “what it looked like was a malignant periosteal osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer.. This type of cancer has been previously reported in a Triassic amphibian, but this is likely the oldest instance found in an Triassic amniote.”
