1) Texas Fishapod fry!

Now I’m not a big fish eater, but I have to admit, the
first time I had Texas grilled Catfish, I loved it!  So there’s no
better way to start off the new year then with a good fish fry, only
today, we’re going to fry some “fishapods.”

Bad year for Darwin

Welp, we’re just wrapping up the “year of Darwin,” which was supposed
to be a celebration of Darwin’s birthday, and his genius penned in his
earth-shaking book “Origin of the species.”  Problem is, it’s been
a baaaad year for Darwin.

You’ll recall in several newsletters from the past year (1, 2 , 3)
that the mythological evolutionary tree has suffered repeated hacking,
uprooting, pruning and grafting.  Well the subject of today’s
first story lops off a major branch….again!

The find is “very old” fossil footprints found in Poland:

(complete with nice video from Nature magazine)

Also, a nice video on the find:

Supposedly 395 million years
old, these footprints have toes and are similar in many ways to large salamander tracks. In layman’s terms, what this means from an evolutionary standpoint is that tetrapods (four-footed, four-legged creatures) were around 395 million years ago. (more…)

Y’all may remember the hub-bub I stirred up with my previous newsletter where I attempted to deal with the supposed inconsistencies in the genealogies of Christ listed in Matthew and Luke.  There was a flurry of responses and comments, and a further one was brought to my attention today.

My newsletter and ministry is specifically devoted to creation, not Biblical apologetics.  There are many fine Biblical apologeticists out there, so I’m not interested in re-inventing the wheel.  So I dropped this issue from my newsletters (with the exception of the follow-up newsletter where I posted the responses I received), but I figured I’d post it here to my blog.

Sean O’Brien did an interesting write-up on the subject of the supposed errors and inconsistencies in the genealogies of Christ – enjoy!
