The Pseudo-Dragons of Genesis Park Part 3
2008-06-06 06:20:00 Ok, on to part 3 of the Genesis Park Tours where we come across the Origins of Birds page where Woetzel tries to discredit the concept of feathered dinosaurs and the hype it creates by claiming that some evolutionists like Storrs L. Olson, Curator of Birds at the Smithsonian Institution were disgusted by the unwarranted speculation of feathered dinosaurs. That’s because Olson criticized the dino-bird claims made by Christopher P. Sloan’s in reference to the Archaeoraptor fossil which is now discovered as a hoax. Even National Geographic Magazine have found it to be a hoax and apologize to the readers for writing such an article that jumped to the wrong conclusion about the fossil being a “sensational find.” Just because Archaeoraptor is a fake doesn’t mean all feathered dinosaur fossils are fakes. Out of all of the discoveries made of feathered dinosaurs all over the earth, only Archaeoraptor was proven to be a fraud. All the rest are real. In the next ... More About: Part , Part 3 , Dragons

DC?s Constructive Criticism
2008-06-02 05:25:00 This weekend I got a few responses from a commenter by the name of DC who claims I’m not doing enough research on young earth creationism. These accusations have raise my ire very much. How can he say that I don’t study enough when I’ve been researching and fighting back creationism ever since 1992? Still, ...

Welcome to my new location
2008-05-30 05:43:00 This is my blog coming from the x10hosting.com server, believed to be one of the very best free servers out there. After reading the reviews coming from some people who are completely dissatisfied with the 000webhost.com’s service and shop around for another great site to get into, I’ve decided to pick x10hosting because of its excellent reviews, high-rating status, and less downtime. I really got a hand it to x10. Their Cpanel’s got the most stuff of any server and its very easy to use, too. The service is excellent and and has a great forum people can go and commute to the administrators and folks who really love this site about blogs, Word Press, and anything else in between. If you’re looking for a real decent free webhosting site to do WordPress blogging, then I highly recommend x10hosting.com. Hopefully x10 will live up to its standards better than 000webhost.com More About: Blog , Location
Pterosaurs Grounded!
2008-05-28 07:33:00 Artwork by Mark Witton The Largest Pterosaur in the world was the Quetzalcoatlus. He’s as big as a small airplane. And walked on land according to this new study out that will change the way people think of pterosaurs like Quetzalcoatlus forever. For a long time azhdarchids, which Quetzalcoatlus belonged to, were once thought to be either vulture like scavengers or fish eating skimmers, flying around above the surface, plucking fish from the water below. There were problems associated with such hypothesis including weak beaks, long limbs, and long necks and how could these pterosaurs manage to deal with these during flight over the sea and scavenging on the dead carcasses. Now these problems can be solved through the latest studies on the azhdarchid structure which suggests that these pterosaurs are in fact terrestrial creatures who walked on land plucking small dinosaurs, mammals, lizards, and insects from the ground. Imagine that. Pterosaurs living a lifestyle of ostriches, ...

Now and Forever The Bulletproof Harpist
2008-05-26 00:25:00 Marvin Sebastian Erard - professional harpist, owner of Empire Harp s, and volunteer police officer for the Salt Laker City Police Department. Sent to Empire City to provide additional security for The Bank of the People, the newest, yet third largest bank in all of Empire City, located across the street from Empire Harps, a harp retailer he operates as part of his undercover operation. Both a highly skilled harpist and professional archer who bears a prized bow he uses to flawlessly pin a crook to the wall or the floor by their clothing. He never misses his target - not even once. But it was LadyHarp who saved the day and foiled another criminal scheme put on by the Big Boss. After handing Berserko over to Marvin and his sons to be hauled away to prison, Bulletproof went forward to process his harp.

Another Transitional Form Found!
2008-05-22 18:42:00 No matter how many times creationists say that no transitional forms has ever been found, one transitional fossil after another is discovered to silence the no transitional lie and bring creationists to shame such as this latest discovery of a transitional form that settles the long debate over where frogs and salamanders came from besides God. ScienceDaily (May 21, 2008) ? The description of an ancient amphibian that millions of years ago swam in quiet pools and caught mayflies on the surrounding land in Texas has set to rest one of the greatest current controversies in vertebrate evolution. The discovery was made by a research team led by scientists at the University of Calgary. The examination and detailed description of the fossil, Gerobatrachus hottoni (meaning Hotton’s elder frog), proves the previously disputed fact that some modern amphibians, frogs and salamanders evolved from one ancient amphibian group called temnospondyls. The discovery is described for the first t... More About: Form , Transitional
The Pseudo-Dragons of Genesis Park

This site, which tagline reads, “Dinosaurs: living evidence of a powerful Creator” is created by Dave Woetzel, a crank who advocates alleged “live” pterosaur sightings and is one of Prisoner #06452-017’s cronies who advocates the lying claim about dinosaurs living with humans while being engrossed in ignorance of the exact opposite which reveals the scenario, including the live pterosaur sightings, to be entirely fictional. Much of the claims presented on this site I’ve already debunked, but there are others on Woetzel’s site that has to be dealt with including how the creationist webmasters like Woetzel distort ancient art under a false pretense that if an animal in the art looks like a dinosaur, then it must be a dinosaur people saw, doesn’t matter if the animal resembles a modern animal with dog ears, ...

Oard?s Problems with Gastroliths and/or Clasts
2008-05-20 08:34:00 Michael Oard, one of the creationists at Creation Ministries International (CMI), is very troubled by the huge amounts of gastoliths trapped within many dinosaur remains found especially at the Morrison Formation in areas of Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado. Especially in many sauropod remains such as the remains of Diplodocus hallorum, (formally Seismosaurus) which are found with 240 gastroliths dotting much of the chest area of the skeleton. He was even more troubled when he discovered that one of many of fossil sites he visited in Wyoming, known as the Cloverly Formation, has tons more of such smooth stones littering the area that’s been long thought to be gastroliths– at least until recently when it is discovered that the so-called gastroliths are actually just clasts, stones made up of quartz, quartzite, and cherts that was broken off from larger rocks and transported for a short distance by rivers and steams that also shaped them into smooth, polish stones in which some...

The Seven F?s of Young Earth Fanaticism
2008-05-18 08:22:00 Here in full view is the pseudo-Bible worldview made up by creationists like Pam Sheppard, one of Ham’s cronies, who only focuses on a one track, outright, distorted view of Genesis 1-11, skip most of the Bible while focusing on out-of-context verses that fit their idiocy, preach that Jesus died on the cross as a feint to proselytize people, skip the rest of the bible except the out-of-context verses that fit their idiocy again, and then claim that God will one day come back to restore the Garden of Eden before our very eyes. This “biblical worldview” as they call it is all imagined up by creationists hellbent on indoctrinating people to embrace this pseudo-Christian worldview. In this idiot article, Sheppard, after she whines “the history as recorded in the Bible has been attacked by a culture that has become increasingly evolutionized and secularized” (Sorry, Sheppard.

Let?s Give these blogs some linky love!
2008-05-16 00:38:00 There are so many blogs in the world, but I’ll only share with you 5 blogs I’ve just discovered today. Created and Rational - This is a blog created by a theistic evolutionist who has his share of young earth trolls who falsely accuse him of being a “fake Christian”– the result of young earthers being indoctrinated to believe that anyone who won’t comply to their beliefs is of the league of the Devil, never mind such accusations being totally unfounded and above all unbiblical. Splendid Elles - Another Evolutionist site that lately features an article giving out a list of links to blogs well worth visiting. Raptor’s Nest - This author loves to draw dinosaurs. So do I. Sauropod Vertebra Picture of the Week - Made by Paleontologist Mike Taylor who specializes in studying sauropod vertebra. And finally, there’s Evolve and Rational, a great blog made by an atheist who has his own share of creationist trolls. Take a look at his list of quot...

An Interview with Mike Taylor
2008-05-15 19:12:00 Brian Switek of Laelaps have made another excellent interview with a paleontologist to add to his collection of interviews he did with some of the most prominent paleontologists of today. This time he’s interviewing Paleontologist Mike Taylor , a leading expert in sauropod vertebra who has just discovered a fossil vertebra belonging to an Early Cretaceous sauropod named Xenoposeidon that was locked away and forgotten for many years inside a museum storage room at the Natural History museum in London.

Dinosaurs, Man, and Galling?s Hypocrisy of The Bible
2008-05-15 06:17:00 Now look at Peter Galling, one of Ham’s cronies’ playing innocent, engaging in bibliolatry, and being a hypocrite with this new approach to responding to a feedback given by an S.T. from Rockport, Texas and L.B. from a somewhat false location (What false location, Galling?), “We thought we?d try something a little different in this week?s response to feedback. Usually, we select one negative feedback to answer, always looking for an emailer who asks a valid question rather than someone just unloading unsubstantiated claims. Recently, we received two relatively similar emails asking about our contention (or the Bible ?s contention, as we argue) that dinosaurs and humans lived at the same time. Both authors write as Christians, so we thought this would be a good opportunity to address the question once again and touch on some of the issues it relates to.” The contention of humans and dinosaurs living at the same time is not of the Bible.

The History of Young Earth Creationism
2008-05-14 02:13:00 Mirrored here. Creationists, including those of AiG and ICR, constantly claim that the roots of young earth creationism can be traced to ancient Judaism writings such as in the writings of Abraham Ibn Ezra (c. 1089?1164), a Jewish astrologer and Rabbi, and Josephus (c. 37 ? c. 100), a famed Jewish historian and that this was the original “viewpoint” of the early church fathers that persisted until modern times. This is false. A lie made up to cover up the fact that the dogma of young earth creationism is of modern invention. The truth of the matter is that even though Jewish Scholars did believed that the earth is thousands of years old, none of them really believe that the earth is 6,000 years old (4,000 years after Creation and before Christ + 2,000 years after Christ was born according to the order of events and genealogies of the Bible, never mind them being out of order and filled with gaps in between). They believed it to be far more older than that (Cherry, 2006).... More About: History , Earth , Young , Creationism
