At ELIE, we are dedicated to spreading the truth of Creation and exposing the lies that are used to uphold the Theory of Evolution.

We are a branch off a bigger ministry called "Exposing Lies", which tackles (in offshoots like us) many other topics!

Questions to and from the opposing side

Evolution is a fact asked:

1-In your first rebuttal, you made the below statement;
"And there is no model for how nostrils could move gradually through the brain, to the back of the head to make the whale blowhole. Think about it."

Which whale(s) does this apply to and can you provide a diagram that shows the nasal passage moving up along the backside of the brain?

2- If hominids are not in fact our ancestors, perhaps you can clear some confusion by educating readers on which are ape and which are human (for reference, Chimpanzees have a brain size of roughly 410 cc, Gorillas 500 cc, and all of the hominids below were bipedal);

Australopithecus Afarensis (375-550 cc), Australopithecus Africanus (420-500 cc), Homo Habilis (500-650 cc), Homo Rudolfensis (600-800 cc), Homo Ergaster/Erectus (750 – 1250 cc), Homo Antecessor (1000 cc), Homo Sapien (1200 cc), Homo Sapien Sapien (1350 cc).

* Creation scientists are unable to agree amongst each other on which of these are apes and which are human, so your opinion may help create a consensus.

3-Urban legends and proven hoaxes (like the Paluxy Tracks) aside, why do we not find any remnants of human civilization (agriculture, buildings, boats, chariots, armor, weapons, art work, etc) in anything except the upper layers? Shouldn't the deposits from the flood have buried this all in place, and certainly lower than animals like the first reptiles (Carboniferous), Theropod Dinosaurs (Triassic) , Mammoths (Pleistocene), Archaeopteryx (Jurassic) ) that were fighting to make it to higher ground?

Dr. Jackson asked:

Three questions for EIAF:

1) EIAF claimed geology proved faunal succession. I pointed out the Flood of Noah would’ve arranged fossils most in accordance with only the vertebrate evolution from water to land facet of the evolution story. What evidence is there then, for the evolution of invertebrates from water to land; particularly the insects?

2) What evidence is there for the evolution of the major groups of plant life that exist today (versus faunal succession)?

3) Since evolution is an all-encompassing mindset that claims to answer the question of how we are here, and therefore implies an answer to the question of the meaning of life; how is evolution not a religious concept, bearing this feature of it in mind?
