Tommy Poland is an associate pastor at CenterPointe Community Church in South Carolina but before he heard the call of Christ, he was listening for the call of Bigfoot (and he says he’s heard it).

As a Bigfoot researcher and enthusiast, Tommy was surprised to see the Lord utilize his background in his ministry.  Christian churches today do not talk about the paranormal and there are many Christians who want to know more about such topics.

There are several ministries that are starting to fill the gaps on neglected subjects like “Bigfoot”, “UFOs”, spiritual warfare and interaction between humans and angels.

Some will even discuss the “New World Order”, satanism and shadow government as well.

Perhaps the reticence of pastors to tackle these topics reflects the human failing of prioritizing broad appeal over edification, or perhaps it’s simply just healthy skepticism.

However, Christians are asking questions and few are giving answers.

WHAT ARE THEY?

There are many conjectures about “Bigfoot” but it’s important to keep in mind that they are all conjecture.  Without multiple specimens (alive or dead) being studied, they remain in the category of “cryptid”—from the Greek κρύπτω (krypto) for “hidden”.

There are very few professionally-trained scientists who dare to broach the subject.

In fact, only a few come to mind; Wildlife Biologist John Bindernagel, Physical Anthropology Professor Grover Krantz and Anatomy and Anthropology Professor Don Jeffrey “Jeff” Meldrum.

Beyond the handful of professionally-trained scientists are an equally-small number of professionals from law enforcement and sports like former San Francisco Police Detective David Paulides, Crime Scene Investigator and Latent Fingerprint expert Jimmy Chilcutt and mountaineer and big game hunter Peter Byrne.

After that, the pool quickly drops into amateurs and enthusiasts, most of whom are under-funded and anything but objective-minded.

Most of the professionals are absolutely convinced that there is an evolutionary explanation for the creature’s existence.

They do not, however, have a plausible explanation for the creature’s illusiveness other than to point out the vast expanse of virgin woodlands in North America, and to reference how long mountain gorillas managed to stay “undiscovered”.

This is, actually, a misnomer as records of the gorilla run as far back as Hanno the Carthaginian explorer in the 5^th century, BC.*

Of the professionals, only David Paulides has seen enough high strangeness (and that in regard to investigating missing persons) to stay completely open-minded about explanations.

One well-researched and prolific author, Nick Redfern, has given himself no other choice.  When covering a subject like “Bigfoot in Britain”, there is little modern science can do to present a plausible explanation.

…this wasn’t just a mystery of not fully understood proportions. It was also an issue that was very much one of not fully appreciated or recognised proportions.

Nevertheless, however, from all across the country’s forests, woods, hills, mountains and even fairly built-up areas, reports most assuredly did exist. And, unlike my own, personal investigations, those reports spanned not just the years or the decades, but the centuries even.  Thus, it very soon became evident to me that this was a phenomenon which, to a highly significant degree, and aside from only the occasional comment, was pretty much ignored, derided, laughed at – or all three.

But, the undeniable fact was that there were dozens – maybe even hundreds – of people all across the nation who had encountered beasts that, if we were talking about the Pacific northwest woods or the Himalayas, we would, without any degree of doubt or hesitation at all, be calling Bigfoot or the Abominable Snowman.  So, I made it my time (well, a small portion of it – a normal life is essential in this field, too!) to dig as deeply as I was able into the puzzle of the Sasquatch of the British Isles.

Today, my collective research into the matter of the British Bigfoot is comprised of hundreds of stories of Sasquatch-style monstrosities, of wild men, of mysterious apes, and of creatures that should not exist, that logic tells us cannot exist, but that, in some most odd and ethereal fashion, clearly do exist.

But there’s more.  And it’s a word of some significant warning for those who may have preconceived notions and ideas about what might conceivably pass for the large and hairy chap in Britain.

Many of the cases, and certainly the vast majority of the available testimony, on record from the British Isles clearly demonstrate that the British Bigfoot most assuredly is not a flesh and blood beast.  Or, at least, it’s not of a flesh and blood nature in the way that most of us generally accept, or understand, the term.

There are numerous reports of the British creatures vanishing in the blink of an eye.  Such entities are seen time and again in the vicinity of ancient stone circles, prehistoric hill-forts, and areas of historical and archaic significance.  They appear to have the unfathomable ability to significantly affect electrical equipment and even people’s perception and state of mind – and seldom, if ever, in a particularly positive fashion, either. ~ Trailing the British Sasquatch, Nick Redfern, Mysterious Universe

PARANORMAL BIGFOOT

In his interview, Tommy Poland remarked about unusual traits in Bigfoot coming from what he considered to be reputable witnesses.

In Washington there is the Mike Greene thermal footage of a subject keenly aware of exactly where the camera is.

The first and overwhelming reaction is, “This is a hoax.”  But if it isn’t, this creature is unusually aware of being caught on camera—even an infrared camera.

One could chalk this up to “Bigfoot” being smarter than your average bear, or even that non humans are able to sense electronics in spectrums unmeasured by our own senses.

Tommy says that the creatures have the ability to “bioluminesce” a red or orange eyeshine but bioluminescence does not have a natural precedent for radiating out of an organism’s eyes.  Bioluminescence is caused by light-emitting pigment known as luciferin when combined with the enzyme luciferase.

Witnesses claim that interaction with the beast has made them react in an unearthly terror beyond just seeing the unknown.  Some became nauseous, others broke down and cried.  Poland and other researchers believe this to be infrasound such as that used by tigers to stun their prey.

But without appreciable data or recordings of this phenomenon, this is still only conjecture.  Infrasound has not been known to make a sentient being cry.

This is not something unheard of in the Bigfoot community.  American Indian accounts name the creature Bukwus, Skookum and Wendigo with English meanings equivalent to “mountain devil” or “cannibal of the woods”.  Children are admonished not to speak the name lest they unwittingly conjur the creature and be carried off by one.  The lines of description often blur from traditional ape-like creatures to frightening wraiths and spirits that can change form like the Skinwalker.

A book I read as a boy, Bigfoot, by Ann Slate and Alan Berry has an entire chapter titled The Psychic Elements which covers creatures that disappear before your eyes, others that can paralyze with their gaze, make you cry, vomit or break out into a cold sweat.

Alan Berry wasn’t just any researcher, he was one of a handful of men (along with Ron Morehead) who collected the second most powerful evidence of Bigfoot’s existence next to the Patterson/Gimlin footage: the Sierra recordings—a series of vocalizations recorded in northern California that are truly astounding to listen to.

While they were in their log lean-to there were strange goings on like inexplicable clicks, members who seized up with fear or fell asleep and couldn’t wake up.

Another account in the Slate/Berry book claims that a researcher was able to elicit an encounter through meditation.  Some might explain this away as a result of 70’s era drug use and Hindu mysticism but there are modern facsimiles.

One of the foremost names in the UFO community, Whitley Strieber, appears to have done the same thing to welcome a completely different entity (but one that works out of the same realm, perhaps?).

From my book Illuminati Unmasked (pp. 753-754):

On April 6th 2013 the Biography Channel showed its first episode in a new documentary series titled Alien Encounters.  Two alien abduction victims told their stories and they were re-enacted for the audience; Audrey Hewins and Whitley Strieber.

Strieber is the author of a series of books about his experiences that have been hugely successful starting with the religiously-named Communion in 1987.

In that pilot episode of Alien Encounters, Strieber recounts the horrors of being forcibly abducted from his bed, receiving an “implant”, having a needle thrust into his brain while he watched and being fully aware of something getting shoved into his rectum.

He later states that he was shown the deathbed of his father, whom he was very close to, a vision of his son being harmed and/or abducted and an apocalyptic explosion of a weapon of mass destruction in an unknown city.

Unbeknownst to him, this was the same agenda of fear that was being imposed on those who come upon mutilated animals that have been purposefully left to be seen: fear is what the “aliens” feed off of. Not very “advanced” of them.

Later in the episode, the actor depicting Strieber is shown using a Hindu meditation technique to entice the entities—whom Strieber is very careful not to strictly label as “aliens”—to return.

Back in 2008, I recounted an even more unusual story that actually puts the two phenomena together in a single occurrence!

Pennsylvania UFO researcher Stan Gordon told the story:

Briefly, on the night of October 25, 1973, my UFO Hotline was active with UFO reports from around the state. About 10:30 P.M. that evening, I received a call from a state trooper from the Uniontown barracks concerning an incident which he had just returned from investigating.  One of those involved, was put on the phone for me to interview.  At about 9 P.M. some 15 people had observed a very large red spherical object hovering low in the sky which began to descend towards a pasture.  The witness and two boys proceeded up the field and observed a white dome shaped object on the ground that illuminated the area, and was making a loud whirring sound.  It was estimated at about 100 feet in diameter.  They were about 250 feet from the object, and 75 feet from a fence line.  Walking along the fence line were two tall figures, 7 to 9 feet tall, covered with hair, and arms hanging down past the knees, and displaying glowing green eyes.

The creatures were fired upon, tracers were shot overhead…

The Pennsylvania Research Organization’s account states that the creatures were shot at directly with no effect.

…The largest of the two creatures turned towards the other almost touching it, and at the same time the object in the field disappeared, and the sound stopped.  The creatures slowly walked towards the woods.  One boy had already ran home, the other two left the field, went to the farmhouse and moved the family members to a neighbor’s home, and called the state police.  When the trooper arrived he and the main witness went to the site, and where the object had landed there was a glowing area that, according to the trooper was about 150 feet in diameter.  He said he could read a newspaper from the amount of light that it was emitting.  The farm animals refused to go into the area.  The witness we talked with stated that before they left the field, the largest of the two creatures was seen in the woods about 10 feet from them, and he shot at it and struck the fence that stood between them.

Later that night our team arrived in the area.  Radiation levels were normal, the glowing area was now gone, but the animals still wouldn’t go near the spot.  Strange events began to occur during the early morning hours in this dark secluded location.  A farmhouse several hundred feet from us was seen by some in the party to suddenly light up like daylight for several seconds.  A bull in the field and a dog seemed unconcerned about us, and were looking into the woods.  The main witness, a rather large individual while being questioned, suddenly began to growl, throwing his father and my assistant George Lutz towards the ground.  The man ran into the field growling like an animal and emitting screams, one which was near inhuman.  His own dog approached him as to attack, then ran off whimpering.  The man suddenly collapsed onto the ground.  Then two of my team members begin to complain that they are having trouble breathing.  Suddenly the air was filled with a strong odor that can best be described as rotten eggs.

The man, as he came out of what appeared to be an almost trance-like state, began talking about visions he saw about the end of the world.  Not knowing what could happen next we helped each other back to our vehicles.  It was apparent that professional help was required in this case, and eminent psychiatrist Berthold E. Schwarz was contacted.  Dr. Schwarz traveled to PA at his own expense and interviewed all of those involved including the eyewitnesses and state trooper.

RETURN OF THE NEPHILIM

The Bible speaks of a shocking interaction between angels and men; spirits disloyal to YHWH coming down to Earth and interbreeding with mankind to create a race of abominable hybrids.  Does this explain what “Bigfoot” really is?

It’s easy to confuse the sagital crest witnesses claim makes a Bigfoot appear to have a conical head with the elongated skulls of supposed human/angel hybrids (known by the Hebrew “Nephilim” נְפִילִים for “fallen ones”).  A sagital crest is typical of any primate and is simply an extension of bone for attaching of massive muscles to work the simian’s oversized jaw.

But some experts still see a strong connection.

Ron Morehead, one of the team who made the Sierra recordings, now does research with Nephilim hunter Lynn “LA” Marzulli.

Genetic manipulation is certainly a viable explanation for the origin of Bigfoot and one geneticist claims they can prove it.

Bigfoot is people!  At least that’s according to a new five-year study of the creatures purported DNA by a prominent Bigfootologist.  “Genetically, the Sasquatch are a human hybrid with unambiguously modern human maternal ancestry,” reads a statement released last weekend by former veterinarian Melba T. Ketchum, the lead researcher of the study.  “Researchers’ extensive DNA sequencing suggests that the legendary Sasquatch is a human relative that arose approximately 15,000 years ago.”  Yes, that would mean that Bigfoot is more man-ape than ape-man.  However as the hominids are notoriously reclusive, if not entirely fictional — there has never been a single confirmed sighting — it’s unclear whether we will need to extend an invitation to our Sasquatch relatives for Easter brunch.

For her study, Ketchum “sequenced 20 whole mitochondrial genomes and utilized next generation sequencing to obtain three whole nuclear genomes from purported Sasquatch samples.”  As her team interpreted their findings, the Sasquatch is a human hybrid with mitochondrial DNA identical to human mitochondrial DNA and nuclear DNA that is of “novel,” or non-human, sequence. ~ Bigfoot Is Part Human, and Here Are the DNA Tests to Prove It, Claims Researcher, Melissa Locker, Time

In fact, Ketchum uses Genesis 6 as her explanation for her findings.  Unfortunately, such an assertion had no place in a peer-reviewed paper and Ketchum’s peers did not accept her assertions with that being one of their main criticisms.  Did Ketchum purposefully muddy the waters on such a seminal examination?

IS THERE A CONSPIRACY?

Last month, I wrote to you about a disturbing realization that that I had.

In 2008, three men claimed to have put the body of a Bigfoot on ice in Georgia.  A wealthy investor, William Lett, put up $50,000 in cash for the prize but later found out it was a fraud.  He and those with him reported the incident to the FBI but nothing happened.  An auction was held and an unknown buyer paid over $250,000 for the worthless monkey suit filled with animal entrails and all civil lawsuits were quickly settled.

To this day, two of the hoaxers—Tom Biscardi and Rick Dyer—are still cranking out Bigfoot hype unbeknownst to many in their audience.

One of the Bigfoot researchers on the receiving end of the hoax, Robert “Java Bob” Schmalzbach, was also on the Melba Ketchum team until Ketchum learned that some of her DNA samples that seemed to be testing human had markers for something non-human.  She quickly—and illegally—dissolved the corporation that created the experiment and kept only one or two onboard.  Her final results were highly criticized.  Did she skew them on purpose?

More importantly, why did no criminal charges get filed.

The third hoaxer, Matthew Whitton, was a Clayton County, Georgia police officer.  Did this outrage have official sanction from the United States Federal government?

In 1884, the British Columbia newspaper The Colonist asked “What is it?” claiming that railroad men had captured a hair-covered juvenile creature that was described in much the same fashion as we believe “Bigfoot” to appear.  It was said that he was taken by rail and intended to be displayed around Canada and, later, Europe, but “Jacko” disappeared.  Most consider the report to have been another hoax but the newspaper account has been found in microfilm and the lack of evidence works both ways; Jacko can be neither confirmed nor denied.

In the 1960’s another hapless Bigfoot juvenile was apparently shot and put on ice in Minnesota.  The “Minnesota Iceman” appeared so realistic, including frozen spirals of blood plasma curling up from wounds, that the FBI was notified the victim may actually be human but, once again, the G-Men did nothing.

Inexplicably, the unnamed “eccentric millionaire” owner of the body told his caretaker Frank Hansen to remove the specimen and replace it with a rubber mock-up.  It has never been seen since.

CUI BONO?

Who would benefit from the suppression of Bigfoot evidence as well as the promulgation of hoaxes?

— “The Illuminati.”

Or, more accurately, the Luciferian Elite who run the world.

Bigfoot distractions are extremely powerful as are UFOs.  Many who are exposed to either one allow their research and pursuit to become an obsession that literally takes over their lives.  A definitive answer one way or another upon the phenomenon would end this powerful weapon and allow its captives to examine more critical issues like false flags, chemtrails, fluoride or “what happens to my soul when I die?”

There are many experts within the Christian community who have accused organizations like the Smithsonian Institute of purposefully burying evidence of Biblical giants to insure the longevity of the theory of Darwinian evolution.

In the Twelfth Annual Report from the Bureau of Ethnology to the Secretary of the Smithsonian, published in 1894, Cyrus Thomas and Thomas Powell of the Bureau of Ethnology wrote of several discoveries where large, seemingly human skeletal remains were found.  The first we’ll examine here was discovered in Roane County, Tennessee:

“Underneath [a] layer of shells the earth was very dark and appeared to be mixed with vegetable mold to the depth of 1 foot. At the bottom of this, resting on the original surface of the ground, was a very large skeleton lying horizontally at full length.  Although very soft, the bones were sufficiently distinct to allow of careful measurement before attempting to remove them.  The length from the base of the skull to the bones of the toes was found to be 7 feet 3 inches.  It is probable, therefore, that this individual when living was fully 7½ feet high.”

Often, such accounts end up being fabrications or portions of text that are taken grossly out of context.  Hence, I decided to see if any scans of the original published report could be found online for download.  Indeed, the entire Twelfth Annual Report from the Smithsonian’s Bureau of Ethnology can be found online at Archive.org, with a PDF version here that can be viewed freely in its entirety.  The relevant portion from the excerpt above can be found on page 362, and is pictured below:

Another instance occurs in the same report, this time at presumed Indian burial mounds at Dunlieth, Illinois:

“Near the original surface, 10 or 12 feet from the center, on the lower side, lying at full length on its back, was one of the largest skeletons discovered by the Bureau agents, the length as proved by actual measurement being between 7 and 8 feet.  It was clearly traceable, but crumbled to pieces immediately after removal from the hard earth in which it was encased….”

Page 115 of the printed report features the relevant text:

Indeed, it seems that the Smithsonian at one time did discover and document what could only be called “giants,” during the same period that many of the American newspapers were reporting similar stories.  Whether this bolsters the legitimacy of those reports may still be questionable; however, few would argue that trained scientists the likes of Powell and Thomas–despite the allegations of coverups and conspiracies–likely knew what they were talking about when they took these measurements, and reported on the existence of humans that, when alive, would easily have stood taller than seven feet. ~ Big Buried Secrets: Giant Skeletons and the Smithsonian, Micah Hanks

THE PATTERSON FOOTAGE: SOMETHING’S OUT THERE

In 1967, thrill-seeker and adventurer Roger Paterson was pushing through the underbrush of Bluff Creek, California with outdoorsman Bob Gimlin.  They were hoping to catch sight of the creature that had made monstrous human-like footprints through a logging camp just a few weeks before, and they did.

The resulting 16mm, only a few seconds worth, rocked the world and continues to this day.

The circumstances will never be duplicated again.

The state of technology in 1967 of both costumes and movie cameras makes calling the Patterson/Gimlin film a “hoax” nothing short of ludicrous.

The size of the subject, alone, would require so much bulk for a human to wear in an approximating suit that they would surely be unable to move smoothly.

And, speaking of movement, attempts at recreating the stature and gate of the subject from the Patterson film all went the way of Lee Harvey Oswald’s 3 highly-accurate shots from a 6.5mm bolt-action Carcano in 5.6 seconds on the head and shoulders of a moving target: impossible to duplicate.

Our conclusion?

—Something’s out there and the most powerful people in the United States, and the world, want it to remain a mystery.

* Animals in the Ancient World from A to Z, Kenneth F. Kitchell Jr., Routledge (2014), pp. 77-78

There is no such thing as a “purely objective scientist” or a “purely secular public figure”.

Everyone has a bias, a slant or a world-view and most everyone promotes that world view with guile and subterfuge rather than honestly stating their agenda.

I am a Christian.

I also believe in American Exceptionalism.

Unlike other religions (to include atheistic or pagan hedonism), Christianity affords its adherents a unique avenue towards real Truth: self denial and personal discipline.

The key to being a good Christian is, coincidentally, the key to having the clearest understanding of the world around you;

Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My Sake will find it.

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

For the Son of Man is going to come in the Glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every man according to his deeds!” ~ Matthew 16:24-27

Remember, your “cross” is not a pleasant thing.

By this definition, a Christian’s life is pain, challenge, trial and self control (conversely, those who say otherwise are demonic-inspired heretics). If you have the ability to crave something, to lust for something and deny it to yourself for whatever reason (usually because it’s unhealthy or immoral), you are a powerful person.

You are also hated and feared by all those who can not.

That is why the Apostle Paul says that those who willingly serve Christ have freed themselves from slavery…to their own nature.

How does this apply in the secular world?

Let’s look at the issue of abortion.

In abortion, we get some pretty twisted arguments from the pro-abortion crowd;

“It’s the woman’s body, she should do what she wants.”

”I think it’s wrong, but I don’t want to push my values on someone else.”

“When you carry the baby, then you can have an opinion.”

Clearly, when a woman carries another life, it’s not hers to dispose of as she sees fit, especially when abortion uses some of the most heinous techniques of killing known to man—and does so on the most vulnerable and innocent of life.

How can proponents of abortion sleep at night? —Because they don’t believe any of what they are saying. They have a hidden agenda that cancels out the medical fact that at 8 weeks babies have fingers, toes, brainwaves and a heartbeat and that premature babies are being saved at amazing ages now thanks to medical science.

They want sex without consequences.

Logic doesn’t matter.

Science doesn’t matter.

Morality doesn’t matter.

But there is an even more shocking example of world view agendas destroying debate: in explaining the origin of life.

Now more than ever before, Darwinian evolution is a theory in crisis and it is “logic” and “science” that are killing it.

DNA: THE DIGITAL CODE

DNA is a digital, self-correcting code that, when changed by mutation, loses information. This loss of information is a detriment to the organism, not a benefit.

Bert Hubert is a computer programmer and a Darwinian who gave this perspective on DNA:

Holy Code: /* you are not expected to understand this */

Some code is sacred. We may not remember who wrote it, or why – we just know that it works. The guy who thought it up may have left the company already. Such code is not to be tinkered with.

DNA knows the concept of the “molecular clock”. Some parts of the genome are actively changing and some parts are sacrosanct. A good example of the latter are the Histone genes H3 and H4.

These genes are fundamental to the actual storage of the genome and are thus of paramount importance. Any failure in this code rapidly leads to a non-functioning organism.

So it is to be expected that this code isn’t tinkered with and that turns out the case. The H3 an H4 genes have a *zero* effective mutation rate in humans. But it goes far beyond that.

Bert has a section on “junk DNA” that modern analysis via genome mapping has already proved outdated and inaccurate. This via the Washington Post:

In all, at least 80 percent of the genome appears to be active at least sometime in our lives. Further research may reveal that virtually all of the DNA passed down from generation to generation has been kept for a reason.

“This concept of ‘junk DNA’ is really not accurate. It is an outdated metaphor,” said Richard Myers of the HudsonAlpha Institute for Biotechnology in Alabama.

The corruption of DNA can be explained by “entropy” which I cover below but Christians have another take that explains the encoding behind entropy that we call “Original Sin”.

An excellent example of the importance of “information” or the loss of it in genetics, is the myriad of health problems suffered by purebred dogs. The K9’s great, great, great, great grand-daddy was an extremely healthy and robust animal but today’s dogs have suffered so much genetic manipulation by man that dog breeding has become an ethical dilemma (at least for those who have a problem with harming animals to make a buck).

FALSE PREMISE

The very premise of Darwinian Evolution is false; the idea that life arose from the simple to become complex. The 2^nd Law of Thermodynamics states that all systems migrate from order to chaos. Nothing in nature contradicts this, save the “theory” of Evolution.

There is no such thing as a “simple, single-celled organism”.

TRANSITIONAL FORMS

To go from a “simple, single-celled organism” to the amazing complexity of the human body via random mutation would necessitate lots and lots and lots of time and even more evidence of mutations that didn’t make the grade. None of this is in the fossil record.

Instead, some Darwinians are saying the complete opposite (which adds even more stress to a crumbling hypothesis).

THE CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION

The Cambrian Explosion marks an astounding period in archeological history where a massive number of complex forms simply “appear” in the fossil record. It has confounded Darwinians since its discovery and so they take this overwhelming Intelligent Design evidence and simply count it as theirs.

Read this article excerpt from “Paleontology online” slowly and carefully, and marvel:

The transition between the Precambrian and the Cambrian period (about 550 million to 500 million years ago) records one of the most important patterns of fossils in all the geological record. Complex animals with a suite of shells, intricate body plans and associated movement traces appeared for the first time, suddenly and unambiguously, in sequences all over the world during this interval. This “Cambrian explosion” remains one of the most controversial areas of research in all of the history of life, and one of the most exciting. Palaeontological data like this is definitive in its support for evolutionary theory, the relative sequence of first appearances in the fossil record over the past several billion years ties very closely with what we would expect from evolutionary theory.

VIOLATES THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD

Speaking of the “theory” of Evolution, did you know that evolution does not even qualify for the term?

According to the scientific method Darwinian Evolution is the equivalent of a kindergarten fantasy or B-grade SciFi film; the amount of willing suspension of disbelief required to believe it is unbelievable.

The introduction to the Wikipedia entry on Scientific Method is illustrative:

The scientific method is a body of techniques for investigating phenomena, acquiring new knowledge, or correcting and integrating previous knowledge.^[1]  To be termed scientific, a method of inquiry must be based on empirical and measurable evidence subject to specific principles of reasoning.^[2]  The Oxford English Dictionary defines the scientific method as: “a method or procedure that has characterized natural science since the 17th century, consisting in systematic observation, measurement, and experiment, and the formulation, testing, and modification of hypotheses.”^[3]

The chief characteristic which distinguishes the scientific method from other methods of acquiring knowledge is that scientists seek to let reality speak for itself, supporting a theory when a theory’s predictions are confirmed and challenging a theory when its predictions prove false. Although procedures vary from one field of inquiry to another, identifiable features distinguish scientific inquiry from other methods of obtaining knowledge. Scientific researchers propose hypotheses as explanations of phenomena, and design experimental studies to test these hypotheses via predictions which can be derived from them. These steps must be repeatable, to guard against mistake or confusion in any particular experimenter. Theories that encompass wider domains of inquiry may bind many independently derived hypotheses together in a coherent, supportive structure. Theories, in turn, may help form new hypotheses or place groups of hypotheses into context.

Macro evolution (the evolution of one species into another) is none of these things: it isn’t testable, repeatable or observable. You can not isolate the variables and no one has been able to replicate the process.

Variation within a species (“micro evolution”) is as verifiable as…pollution. The archetype example of micro evolution was the coloration changes observed in the peppered moths of the English countryside during the Industrial Revolution. As the colors of the normally-white birch trees changed from coal-fire soot, so did those of the peppered moths that used them for concealment. Unfortunately for Darwinians, that was the extent of the changes (as opposed to, say, the moths morphing into velociraptors who, in turn, ate the birds that were preying on them).

ORCHESTRATED MEIOSIS

To this day, scientists are completely baffled by the development of life in the womb. How two zygotes come together to form a cell which then starts dividing to become a myriad of organs, tissues and processes remains a mystery.

IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY

Reverse engineering is a fine art. The Russian military is founded on it.

However, just like looking back on the fossil record and pretending to see complete transitions in species when only similar, whole forms exist, Darwinians have a problem reverse-engineering complex systems as well.

The most amazing part of this critique is how easy it is to explain. As biochemistry professor (and originator of this damning challenge to Darwin) Dr. Michael J. Behe puts it—a mousetrap is composed of 5 basic parts; a hammer, a spring, a catch, a platform and a holding bar. If one of those parts is missing in the “development” of that mousetrap, you don’t catch ¹/₅ fewer mice, you catch none because the system ceases to function. There are organs within a complex living being that can not be simplified in their imagined development because, if they were, that being would cease to function.

Rarely will I cite an Islamic apologist as a source but Turkey’s Adnan Oktar has posted this accurate assessment of the miraculous system we take for granted as “simple”: avian feathers. It is only via modern examination techniques that these complexities have been revealed:

…bird feathers have such a complex structure that the phenomenon can never be accounted for by evolutionary processes. As we all know, there is a shaft that runs up the center of the feather. Attached to the shaft are the vanes. The vane is made up of small thread-like strands, called barbs. These barbs, of different lengths and rigidity, are what give the bird its aerodynamic nature. But what is even more interesting is that each barb has thousands of even smaller strands attached to them called barbules. The barbules are connected to barbicels, with tiny microscopic hooks, called hamuli. Each strand is hooked to an opposing strand, much like the hooks of a zipper.

Just one crane feather has about 650 barbs on each of side of the shaft. About 600 barbules branch off the barbs. Each one of these barbules are locked together with 390 hooklets. The hooks latch together as do the teeth on both sides of a zip. If the hooklets come apart for any reason, the bird can easily restore the feathers to their original form by either shaking itself or by straightening its feathers out with its beak.

This “adaptation” is so amazing, it also adds a seal against moisture for water fowl.

Speaking of which, I remember as a kid being astounded by documentaries that use the phrase “brilliant adaptation” when describing phenomena such as these. It sounds just as stupid now as it did then.

The examples of such “brilliant adaptations” are far too many and diverse to list here but I will pull up one more for illustration.

The polar bear is a favorite of the global warming alarmists because they paint the animal as a cute, cuddly prop for their subterfuge. However, the Ursus maritimus is considered to be the largest land predator extant on the planet today and given its austere environment that, alone, can easily be construed as “miraculous”.

Even more amazing is that there is a unique quality to a polar bear’s pelt and skin. The polar bear has follicles that aren’t “white” but clear and the skin of a polar bear is, in fact, black. Simple physics will immediately cause you to be amazed and see that an animal appears to have fur that makes it blend with its environment yet serves the amazing purpose of helping to keep a complex mammal warm in a frigid ecosystem.

This seems to be so efficient that it’s not uncommon to see a polar bear “sunning” itself on the ice.

Not surprisingly, such assumptions have a host of detractors who, apparently, have been to the same school of uncritical thought as most Darwinians.

Here is one such, “debunking” example:

“And older theories are being challenged. It was believed that the bear’s outer hairs were hollow, in order to transmit light to its black skin, a form of solar heating, but Jane [Waterman]’s analysis of the hair exploded that theory…’ It did not transmit light and if you think about it, it really doesn’t make any sense to have a system where you use light to warm yourself up if its minus forty degrees Celsius and twenty-four hour darkness, it doesn’t do you any good.’”

What “Jane Waterman” fails to take into account is that a polar bear is a mammal, not a reptile. Systems that are symbiotic with their environment don’t depend on them, they are simply aided by them. My first clue as to the cluelessness of such an “expert” was the phrase “if you think about it”. “Thinking about it” is also not found in the Scientific Method nor do scientists “explode” theories.

But people with agendas think they do.

AGAINST THE ODDS

The number of “coincidences” and parameters that have come together to support life on planet Earth are so varied and unique that it has many sky-watchers getting rather depressed.

* unitary solar system rather than two suns
* perfect distance of the Earth from the Sun
* perfect orbit of the Earth (producing delicate season changes)
* 23.5 degree tilt of the Earth
* the orbit of the solar system within the galaxy is also unique and important to life
* stability of the solar system
* composition of the atmosphere
* protection from excessive radiation by the Van Allen belt
* ratio of water to land
* unusual size of only one moon in the perfect orbit
* the Earth’s unusually slow rotation speed
* relatively calm tectonic activity
* the importance of the size and location of the other bodies in our solar system

The complete list is far more comprehensive than this but these are just a few starters for any budding scientists…real scientists, that is.

If this disappoints any of my Trekkie readers, never fear. There will be an “alien disclosure” in our near future. I’m afraid, however, it will be more “V” than “Star Trek”.

SOCIAL DARWINISM

Despite all of its imperfections, Darwinian Evolution has been extremely helpful to a special class of people: mass murderers and multi-millionaires.

From Adolf Hitler to robber barons like Andrew Carnegie and J.P. Morgan to the founder of Planned Parenthood Margaret Sanger (born and raised Roman Catholic)through Columbine killer Eric Harris, applying Darwinian evolution to human beings has been a boon.

FRAUD AND DECEIT

As time wore on, Darwinians began to get restless waiting for “missing links” to fall into place. So, being the good scientists that they were, they made them up (or eagerly drew unfounded conclusions based upon their presuppositions).

*  Piltdown Man: the jawbone of an orangutan with the skull of a human created this embarrassing hoax—and it was pulled off by a Jesuit priest!
* Nebraska Man: an entire species of pre-man based upon a single tooth…not. This embarrassment was part of the revenge scheme that became the “Scopes Monkey Trial” I discuss below.
* Java Man: Three teeth, a skull cap and a femur strewn across a large area were enough for Dutchman Eugene Dubois to claim “success!” in 1891. As this Darwinian site admits, Dubois was the perfect evolutionary “scientist”; he started with his conclusion then went looking for anything that appeared to shore it up: a young Dutch military doctor, who came to Java in 1887 with the sole purpose of finding the “missing link” between humans and apes.
* Ocre Man: the “oldest man in Europe” turns out to be the fragment of a donkey skull. Darwinians do so love making whole species out of a little piece of bone here and there. Sometimes just “there”.

IF ALL ELSE FAILS, — USETHE IRON FIST

I’m just a layman. I’m not an expert. Yet I think I’ve done a fair job of showing that Darwinian Evolution could stand some closer investigation…perhaps some fair debate, don’t you agree?

The “science” and “education” establishments most assuredly do not.

When the California Science Center learned that an upcoming presentation would give equal time to Evolution and Intelligent Design, the event was immediately cancelled, forcing the presenters to sue.

Astrophysicist and assistant professor of Astronomy Dr. Guillermo Gonzalez was one of the top names in his field. When Iowa State University found out that he was a proponent of Intelligent Design they summarily fired him. When Ball State gave him a job, it was “highly controversial”. Recall that there are university “professors” that took part in open sedition and were complicit in multiple counts of murder or called the victims of 9/11 “little Eichmanns”.

At NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, System Administrator David Coppedge had tenure and respect. Evolution News reported that Coppedge was responsible for—

200 Unix workstations, several high-capacity data storage units, networking equipment, and other specialized computing equipment across America and Europe. He has a wide breadth of knowledge about technical aspects of Cassini’s computers and networks and was heavily involved in all the mission operations. Coppedge has been a faithful and highly regarded JPL employee for many years, has led tours of the lab and has served as an outreach speaker presenting the Cassini findings to civic and astronomy clubs and school groups.

Now, though, this exemplary employee has been demoted. Why? Did he do something to jeopardize the mission? No. Was he guilty of incompetence? No. Was he lazy or just lackadaisical in his work? No. David Coppedge’s sin was a thought crime, the mere willingness to challenge the ruling authority of Darwinian evolution. In conversation he asked colleagues if they’d be interested in watching a documentary that dealt with evolution and intelligent design. For this he was harassed and discriminated against.

In 2008 the Florida Board of Education attempted to qualify Evolution as just a “theory” (as I’ve shown, it’s not even that). There was immediate outrage amongst the Darwinian faithful.

“Creationism” is Intelligent Design that says the “Designer” is the God of the Bible. In 1987, the United States Supreme Court decided that lawyers knew best what should be in textbooks and “Creationism” had no business standing on the same pedestal as Darwinian Evolution. This decision was to be enforced at all costs, as high school biology teacher Larry Booher found out.

2008 was a banner year for the Druids of Darwin as it was also that year that Professor Michael Reiss, Director of Education at the Royal Society was excommunicated for his belief in Creationism.

But perhaps the best and most recent example of scientific professionalism on par with shutting your eyes, covering your ears and shouting “LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!” was the decision by Popular Science to forbid comments on its online site because too much information was getting out that questioned both “global warming” and Darwinian Evolution.

THE DRUIDS OF DARWIN

In 1960, Hollywood glamorized the 1925 court case known as The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes in a movie called “Inherit the Wind”. If you ever needed outrageous characterizations of calm, open-minded, “science”-loving Darwinians verses crazed, closed-minded, superstitions “Christians”, just watch that movie.

The reality, of course, is quite different even for the trial which was chosen as a propaganda tool of the American Civil Liberties Union.

David Menton is a PhD in cellular biology who now works for the Creationist organization “Answers in Genesis”. He was interviewed by pastor Donn Chapman of Cornerstone Ministries and, although this is not a neutral setting, it gives important background you won’t normally hear regarding the “Scopes Monkey Trial”.

I bring this up because it’s the first thing that Darwinians and even common folk think of when the envision Christians questioning Evolution.

But as I’ve shown here, it is actually the reverse that is true.
