A New Evolutionary Link? Australopithecus sediba Has All the Wrong Signs

I found this article about another supposed ape to man evolution specimen to be excellent. It quickly explains the difference between hard data and extrapolation of data, as well as exposing the impossibility of brain tissue remaining inside of a skull for "1.9 million years".

I remember seeing a very large article about Australopithecus sedib in my local paper. But the spin on the actual data was very different. Hope you enjoy this article from ICR.

EARTH DAY

My sister works in a day school in Southern Texas. She gave her kids aloe plants for Earth Day. I thought it a nice gesture, after all, it was the Lord who created the heavens and the earth and all the wonderful plants we see on earth.
I found a good article that puts Earth Day into perspective:

And this link to a new DVD that sounds fascinating:

On the day some have named Earth Day, I planted spinach, radishes and lettuce in my garden. But I would have planted them regardless of the day having a name. It was a beautiful day!

I shouldn't have been surprised!

Someone I know is taking a music theory class at a state university. Now, you'd think the class would be about chords, triads, music scales, etc. Well, it was, save a comment by the professor regarding gills and ear bones evolving in amphibians and man.
AMAZING. A professor can make an unsubstantiated comment like that, AND WHO WOULD KNOW that there isn't a shred of evidence to back up his comment.
When I saw this cartoon on the Answers in Genesis website, I thought I'd pass this on......................

Have a good one!

Things You May Not Know About Evolution by Henry Morris, Ph.D.

The word "EVOLUTION" can mean different things to different people. In fact, it seems that misunderstanding about the term is common. Dr. Henry Morris does a really nice job explaining what evolution is. I'll share more articles in the future to help clarify the term and shed light on some common misconceptions from the media. Once a person understands what evolution really is, it is easy to see its impossibility.

Treasures of the Snow

After traveling to Northern Wisconsin last week and enjoying the beautiful snow and scenery I was reminded of the verse in Job that speaks of "treasures of the snow". While we who live in the frozen tundra often complain about winter, God has a plan for...........yes, even snow. He knew that those of us living after the flood would need different ways to survive in the harsh climates that were not a part of His perfect creation and climate in the pre-flood world. Dr. Henry Morris touches on some ways snow is beneficial to us. It is a fun little article:

The Amazing, Living Cell and the Complexity of Healing. Only by Design.....

Pioneering Adult Stem Cell Treatment Helps Man Recover Sight After 15 Years
London, England (Lifenews.com) -- A man who was partially blinded when ammonia was squirted in his eye during an attack 15 years ago has regained his sight after receiving a pioneering stem cell treatment, according to a London Guardian report. Russell Turnbull, 38, suffered massive damage to his right eye when he was caught in a scuffle after a night out in Newcastle in 1994. On the bus home, Turnbull had tried to intervene in a fight between two men but was injured when one of them began squirting passengers with ammonia. The chemical severely scarred Turnbull's cornea, the clear membrane that covers the front of the eye, and destroyed stem cells that usually help keep the cornea healthy. "I was in unbearable pain. It burned my eye shut," Turnbull told the Guardian. "I was in hospital for two weeks and eventually I was able to open the eye again. It was like looking through scratched perspex." Turnbull was left with "limbal stem cell deficiency" (LSCD), a condition that seriously impairs sight, and was in pain every time he blinked or saw bright lights. In an experimental treatment devised by doctors at the North East England Stem Cell Institute in Newcastle, stem cells were taken from Turnbull's healthy eye and grown on a layer of amniotic tissue, which is routinely used as a burn dressing. The NHS banks amniotic sacs donated by women who have had a Caesarean section. When the cells had covered the membrane, a piece the size of a postage stamp was transplanted onto Turnbull's damaged eye. Two months later the membrane had broken down, leaving his damaged eye with a fresh supply of healthy stem cells, which repaired the cornea. Eye tests six months after surgery showed that Turnbull's vision was nearly as good as it had been before the attack.

I wish my apple trees were disease resistant!

As a lover of my fruit trees I found this article interesting. Again, the evidence in biology points to Genesis. Read on...

Fresh Salamander Tissue found in Solid Rock

When I read articles such as this one I am amazed that so called scientists continue to embrace the millions of years ideology. Many similar finds such as what has been reported here point to catastrophe-recently and pointing to the events of "Noah's flood" (Genesis 6-9).

Dr. Gary Parker on Video

Dr. Parker was a biology teacher and evolutionist. He believed in evolution and taught evolution to his students. Listen to his story about how the "evidence" caused him to ponder his beliefs and what he concluded........

Dinosaurs!

For my very first posting on the What's the Evidence? blog I will share an article on a topic that captures the imagination of adults and children alike. ENJOY!!
