Sunset During Fire Season

Much of western Canada is on fire. They’ve sent army personnel into Saskatchewan. It’s not that bad here, but it still got smoky.

Sunset during fire season can be pretty. Yes, that’s really my view. You should be able to pick out at least six layers of hills.

Since I took these pictures we’ve had wind and rain that cleared the sky. Just before that the temperature was bumping up against forty degrees, and I haven’t heard anyone complain about the cooler weather.-)

Here’s hoping the wildfires settle down.

I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. I took these during my morning walks, hoping to catch that elusive “perfect light.” Ah well, I’ll keep trying.-)

15 Answers to Creationist Nonsense – Scientific American

This article is over ten years old, but it is still apropos.  Creationists are still using the same empty arguments, and this article still neuters them.  I know I have repeatedly had to endure these quibbles, put forward with such fervent confidence every time, and it would be nice to simply be able to refer them to these answers.

Here are a few examples of their challenges:

Evolution is only a theory.
If humans descended from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?
Evolutionists cannot point to any transitional fossils.

Follow the link below to see them deflated.

On that note, why do creationists always ask questions like these?  They’re trying to replace a well-tested theory with something that they think is better.  Why aren’t they defending their candidate with science instead of always muddying the water with these specious arguments?

Opponents of evolution want to make a place for creationism by tearing down real science, but their arguments don’t hold up
