Lisa’s Evolution Conspiracy blog- Evolution: Fighting the Wrong Battle February 8, 2010The debate over evolution is often portrayed as the battle between science and religion, or faith vs. reason. This clever ploy paints evolutionists as warriors for logic and sanity whose sole opponent is blind belief in a higher power. No one could doubt evolution for any other reason, evolutionists insinuate or flat-out proclaim. But the [...]
- The Rotten State of Evolution February 3, 2010The evidence for evolution falls into two key categories: genetics and fossils. Evolutionists have constructed a “tree of life” showing the evolutionary relationships between living things, a messy diagram that purports to tell us which species are ancestral to which and how closely related groups of living things are. In recent years evolutionis […]
- Human Culture Appeared before Humans? January 8, 2010Modern humans (aka Homo sapiens) evolved about 200,000 years ago. Society and culture arose sometime much later. So goes the accepted story, but there’s a problem. New discoveries in Israel suggest that someone started to arrange open-air living spaces into discrete sections used for different purposes as early as 790,000 years ago. Inhabitants of the […]
- Evolving without DNA? January 6, 2010Evolution dictates that living things adapt to their environments via genetic changes (mutations) that can be passed down from generation to generation (they are heritable). This is natural selection, a concept first brought to public attention by Charles Darwin. Natural selection relies on heredity and mutations—in other words, it relies on genetics. Evolut […]
- Did the Year of Darwin Change Your Mind? December 31, 2009Whether you believe in evolution or doubt it, this year gave you plenty to ponder. I daresay many people experienced Darwin overload as worship of evolution’s god reached fanatical proportions. In 2009 Darwin fans marked a double anniversary, the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his book The [... […]

- The Fluoride Monument January 25, 2010Exactly 65 years ago today Grand Rapids became the first city in the country to fluoridate its water, adding the compound in an effort to curb tooth decay. In 2007 the city dedicated a new monument to their fluoridation fever in the form of a sculpture called “Steel Water.” These days water fluoridation has become [...]

- Henry Ford’s Ghost Town, Part 2 January 13, 2010In 1935, Henry Ford bought thousands of acres of land in the middle of nowhere on Lake Plumbago. Today the site lies eight miles south of L’Anse on US 41, still in the center of nothing. When Ford needed wood for his cars, and felt his suppliers were cheating him, he opted to acquire existing [...]
- Henry Ford’s Ghost Town January 12, 2010A sign along U.S. Highway 41 announces “Alberta Village” while, behind the sign on the shores of Lake Plumbago, the Ford Motor Company logo graces a hillside. Across the highway from the lake sits a cluster of quaint cottages and vaguely industrial-looking buildings. Tourists whizzing past on U.S. 41 would hardly guess that they’ve bypassed [...]
