Ha … so Ryan, and how do they know that it’s 12K yrs old? Would that be Carbon-14? Or would it just be because of the sophistication of it or the layer in which it was found?  My point is … I don’t have to explain 12k yr-old fishing tackle. They have to explain why they said that … ‘cuz it just ain’t so.

The Science Daily article says this was the “first time” that they’d found such artifacts in “stratification” sediments. This hints that they just assumed the age of the artifacts, by using the already-assumed age of the stratum of sediments in which they found them. They also seemed to have made age-estimates based upon the assumed time of the extinction of some duck bones they found in the same layer, and assumptions about the sophistication of the tools, and assumptions about their additional theories on the migrational patterns Ice-Age humans across the Berring Straits land/ice-bridge and their theories on the timing of the existence of the bridge. In short, Ryan, they have the sequence of events roughly right, just not the actual years right. They data is real. Their inferences are –well– as usually is the case … only what they wish for them to be.

Yours in the knowing — Keep thinking. DrJ

Artemis - the Greek goddess of wild animals, the hunt, vegetation, chastity and childbirth. 1 While the Greek goddess may not be openly worshiped anymore, her name has now been irrevocably linked to the lesser light, just as her mythological twin brother Apollo’s was in the last century. Even so, it was not without Providence showing Who is really present in the affairs of men. NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) has been focused on having a prolonged presence in space with the work of the International Space Station (ISS), so until recently lunar exploration took a backseat. The Artemis missions of NASA have changed that. They began with the first launch in 2022 when an unmanned spacecraft orbited the Moon and returned successfully for the first time since Apollo 17 in 1972. The plan for the Artemis program is to establish an ongoing manned presence on the Moon. In upcoming missions astronauts will return to the surface, marking another generation of Moon exploration. As we press forward, may we never forget the sacrifice of many lives throughout our ongoing space program, and may we remember it is only possible by the ordered design and engineered forces at work in creation by the Lord God our Creator. Many of you may have watched, as I did, as four brave astronauts were launched from the clutches of Earth’s gravity on April 1, 2026. It was hard to describe how proud I was as an American on that day. This country, founded on God-ordained rights and privileges, was the first and only country to place His image bearers on the surface of the lesser light years ago, and we are headed back again. We are literally doing what the Lord asked of us from the Genesis 1:28 mandate in studying His creation. As much as I know that not all who work for NASA have this worldview, there are several that do, praise the Lord! On Artemis II launch day, one of the four astronauts on board was our brother in Christ - Victor Glover, mission pilot.
