The Bird’s Feather – Intelligently Designed for Flight

This one came down.

But this did not, until it was time to replace it.




Joel Kontinen

The bird’s feather is amazingly well designed. It is light and endurable. It will keep the bird in the air.

In contrast, the parts of an aeroplane look much less designed. And a bird is a much more efficient and reliable flier than a machine man has designed.

Beware of the Gap Theory

Joel Kontinen

Some gaps are real. Some are not. In the 19th century, some theologians suggested that there was a huge gap – lasting millions of years - between Genesis 1 1 and 1::2. There was no real theological evidence for such a gap in the Bible.

The Old Testament clearly states that God created everything in six days.

How Not to Make a Fossil – The Case of a Dead Frog

Joel Kontinen

A frog hit by a car does not fossilize easily in hot conditions. No matter how long we wait, the deceased froggie remains unfossilized.

What would be needed is exceptional circumstances, including a lot of water. Almost always when science publications report on the discovery of a fossil, they suggest that the animal died in a local flood.

But why local? The global flood in Noah’s days remains the best explanation for most (but not necessarily all) fossils.

Spiny Anteater – Problematic Creature for Evolutionists

Joel Kontinen

It is a mammal but it lays eggs. The spiny anteater is a monotreme, just like the platypus. It is obviously not about to evolve into a bird nor has it evolved from a bird.

Monotremes or egg-laying mammals are difficult to place in a Darwinian tree of life as they seem to be mosaics that do not belong anywhere.

They speak of the creativity of the Creator.

Cross on a Hillside Speaks of Hope

Joel Kontinen

The cross is a powerful symbol, even if one sees it on an otherwise empty and barren hillside.

Magnetic island is a smallish island near Townsville, Queensland, Australia. At least in November, there are more birds than people on this island.

Barely visible from a road leading away from the ferry terminal, there is a huge white cross on the hillside. One will have to take a winding path to take a closer look but it will be worth the effort.

Built on a large bounder, the cross is huge. in its silent way, it speaks of hope.

Fortunately, this is Australia and not USA or Europe where ”free thinkers” feel depressed at the sight of a cross and lose their peace of mind that they then try to regain through lawsuits.

The Non-evolution of the Crocodile – A Hard Challenge for Darwinism

Joel Kontinen

According to the Darwinian story, crocodiles were crocodiles when the early dinosaurs appeared. Their non-evolution has naturally given rise to inventive excuses for why crocodiles were so well adapted to their environment that they have not needed to change for over “200 million years”.

Like all other living fossils, crocodiles are a hard challenge to a worldview that is often (incorrectly) defined as change over time.

Evolution: When Magic Became Science

Joel Kontinen

In real life nothing comes from nothing and no organisms will adapt to their environment by chance. Typing errors (mutations) do not improve a text and nature cannot really be able to choose from existing mistakes or anticipate future evolution since the watchmaker that Dawkins and co. put their trust in is blind.

In other words, evolution is impossible.

Charles Darwin wanted to give nature a function that in real life only God has ever had.

Thus, when a science writer says that natural selection caused x (for instance a cave crab to lose its eyesight), he (or she) is relying on magical thinking because Darwinists cannot allow a Divine foot in the door).

(Losing a function would not be of much help, because evolution would need immense amounts of new genetic information. This has never been observed.)
