Collecting fossils

by Carlos F. StegerOne of the most significant evidences evolutionists offer in support of their theory of origins is derived from paleontology.1 Paleontologists study animal and plant fossils—remnants or traces of organisms that existed in the past, such as a skeleton, footprint, or leaf imprint. As a science, paleontology is linked both to geology—because it studies fossils embedded in the layers and rocks of the earth’s crust—and to biology, since it examines ancient life forms now...Read Full Story

Locke collaborated with a local computer and electronics recycling program, insuring that there was no e-waste from the project.Read Full Story

Part of the plot in my story involves the creation of false fossils to fool the scientific community and support the anti-evolutionary claims of an extreme anti-science cult.
