    I thought this was interesting...

    An article from the ICR arguing that God "intelligently designed" the killer projectile tongue apparatus of the chameleon: Chameleon Tongue Inspires Robotic Design Not quite sure how that's supposed to fit in the YEC framework. Was it supposed to be used to 'hunt' immobile plants before the fall?

    Evograms

    AiG disinvited from homeschooling convention

    I thought this was interesting. Apparently, Ken Ham and Answers in Genesis have been disinvited from a YEC homeschooling convention because of Ham's public and disrespective attitude toward some some fellow Christian scholars who were also invited but do not accept YECism.

    “Dinosaur” petroglyphs at Kachina Bridge site

    It is commonly claimed by neocreationists that man and dinosaurs once lived together, and that evidence for this exists in the form of a petroglyph depicting a sauropod at the Kachina Bridge site at Natural Bridges National Monument in Utah. This idea was recently critically evaluated by a...

    natural vs. supernatural

    I thought this article was interesting: Naturalizing the Supernatural: How evolutionary ideas steal glory from God It advocates that if we can use science to explain miracles given in the Bible, we are stealing glory from God. What do you think? Is God less powerful in your eyes if He...

    Misconceptions about Evolutionary Creationism (or Theistic Evolution)

    I can honestly say that I don't think I've met an anti-evolutionary creationist on this forum who actually understands the position of evolutionary creation. It seems that misconceptions about our position abound. Therefore, I thought it might be helpful if we started a thread that dispels the...

    Someone had to start a Christmas thread, so I thought it had might as well be me. Merry Christmas, folks... particularly to my YEC friends with whom I so often disagree on origins issues. May our celebration of Christ's birth overshadow any minuscule disagreements we may share concerning other...

    Is anyone here going to the "Galileo Was Wrong" symposium in support of biblical geocentrism this November? Galileo Was Wrong Apparently, not only does the Bible teach geocentrism, but True Science (TM) supports geocentrism, too.

    Using creation science to demonstrate evolution

    There was an interesting article published recently in the Journal of Evolutionary Biology that uses statistical techniques (or rather, exploratory techniques), often employed by neocreationists to demonstrate gaps between 'baramins', for the purpose of showing that there is no appreciable gap...
