Hebrews 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible . Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Isaiah 45:12 "It is I who.. stretched out the heavens with My hands And I ordained all their hosts . In 1917, Willem de Sitter used Einstein's equations to predict the discovery of an expanding universe. In a letter from Einstein to astronomer Willem de Sitter, complaining that the expanding-universe theory implied a moment of creation : "To admit such possibilities seems senseless to me ." The Eviction Notice of the Cosmos: Facing the Inevitable Big Bang In 2006, cosmologist Alex Vilenkin delivered a cosmic eviction notice. The comfortable apartment of an eternally existing universe was being condemned, with rising tides of evidence revealing a stark truth – the cosmos we inhabit, like any good lease, had a specific start date. He said, “It i...

The intricate tapestry of animal development weaves intricate patterns, sculpting diverse body forms from a single set of genes. Hox genes, master regulators of body patterning, play a pivotal role in this orchestration. But how are these powerful genes themselves controlled? Epigenetics, the layer of instructions atop the DNA, holds the key, influencing Hox gene expression through a fascinating dance of chemical modifications and protein partnerships. Snake development offers a captivating illustration of Hox gene regulation. These limbless reptiles, despite lacking external limbs, retain limb-associated Hox genes in their genomes. Even more intriguing, some Hox enhancers, regulatory DNA sequences that switch genes on, exhibit shared activity in both the phallus, a modified limb used for reproduction, and the remnants of internal limbs buried within their bodies.  In neo darwinism why would limbs evolve only to devolve? Neo darwinism does not go backward. Mutations are one way....

Hebrews 11:3 “By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are VISIBLE .” Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Isaiah 45:12 "..I stretched out the heavens with My hands And I ordained all their hosts.” ( Stretching mentioned 12 times in the OT.) In 1917, Willem de Sitter used Einstein's equations to predict the discovery of an expanding universe. A letter from Albert Einstein to astronomer Willem de Sitter, complaining that the expanding-universe theory implied a moment of creation : "To admit such possibilities seems senseless to me." The ΛCDM model, the reigning theory of our universe's evolution, has faced its fair share of challenges. Some critics claimed a fundamental incompatibility between its predictions and our observations of the cosmos. But a recent study , "Distinct distributions of elliptical and disk galaxies across the Local ...
