Biological Essentialism and Young Planets, Act Blue, Redistricting in Virginia and How Social Media Pushes Porn Addiction

-- Biological Essentialism & Young Planets –

What is Biological Essentialism? Cats are cats, bats are bats and apes and people do not have a common ancestor. Horses, hydras and humans are examples of Essential Types of Life (ETL's). Bio-essentialism is basically Aristotle's Biology:

www.barnesandnoble.com/w/biological-essentialism-jay-hall/1140135320

Bio-essentialism would hold that trilobites and giraffes lived at the same time. So, the majority of the rock record testifies to a single global cataclysm. If catastrophism is the right approach to interpreting the rock record and there never was an "Age of Dinos" since all Essential Types of Life (ETL's) began at the start, then our lovely planet must be much much younger than mainstream science allows. Let's all "Make Earth Young Again" (#MEYA)!

In the March 2021 issue of Microscopy Today, we learn of the discovery of nerve fragments from a Triceratops collected from the Hell Creek Formation in Montana. How could these delicate nerve fibers remain intact after 66M years? Maybe our home planet is young after all. From dinosaurs, let's turn to pandas who live a dog's life. They're loners, have high infant death rates, reach maturity slowly and the females are only receptive during a narrow time window. John Gittleman, in a paper "Are the Pandas Successful Specialists or Evolutionary Failures?," dropped the kraken on the pandas' woes:

Both panda species [giant and red] are also susceptible to fatal infection by canine distemper virus and various bacteria and ecto-parasites. These problems may be due to low levels of dietary protein and other nutrients potentially limiting function of the immune system or to small founder populations resulting in deleterious inbreeding effects. ...The red and giant pandas are therefore being hit from two sides. On the one hand, life-history traits of small and slow-growing neonates are producing vulnerable young. On the other hand, the two panda species face unusually strong sources of mortality - both intrinsic and extrinsic.

From the Young Earth standpoint, this is no conundrum. For more information, see chapter 12 of my book, “Implications of Biological Essentialism.”

If the Earth is young, what about the other planets? Neptune has considerable internal heat, radiating more than twice the energy it receives from the sun. If the Solar System is young, this is no problem. The magnetic field of Neptune is about as strong as that of Uranus. Magnetic fields decay with time, so Neptune says, “I’m young!” Neptune’s magnetic field is not aligned with the rotation axis and does not pass through the center – an enigma for #Mainstream_Science

See chapter 13 of my book Is a Young Earth Possible? for arguments for young planets: “Straight Out of the Solar System.”

✩Now to the News✩

**ActBlue Acts #BAD !

The activist group ActBlue has been pleading the Fifth Amendment a lot lately.

The House’s Administration, Judiciary, and Oversight and Government Committees put out a report: “Fraud on ActBlue, Part II: Illicit Foreign Donations and a Cover-Up Spur Mass Resignations and Firings on ActBlue’s Legal and Compliance Team.”

In addition, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against ActBlue for “misleading consumers about its unlawful donation processes that allow fraudulent and foreign donations to undermine the integrity of our nation’s elections.”

**VA Redistricting Fiasco

A Virginia court has declared the state's redistricting vote unconstitutional recently.

Certain requirements for referendums were not followed. Several cases are challenging various aspects of the referendum. The Tazewell Circuit Court blocked certification of the election and denied a motion to stay pending appeal.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/virginia-court-declares-states-redistricting-vote-unconstitutional-legal-win-republicans

We read the following in Audacity of Hope:

These days, almost every congressional district is drawn by the ruling party with computer-driven precision to ensure that a clear majority of Democrats or Republicans reside within its borders. Indeed, it’s not a stretch to say that most voters no longer choose their representatives; instead, representatives choose their voters.

Now for some Maths!

A compact shape is where the points on the boundary are as close as possible to the center. A circle is the most compact and regular polygons are highly compact.

https://support.esri.com/en-us/gis-dictionary/compact-shape

A regular hexagon (all sides & angles =) is convex. A star is not – you can take two points within the shape and connect them with a line and that line is not entirely within the star. Hodge, Marshall & Patterson in their paper in The College Mathematics Journal from 2010 state, “Convexity-based measures of shape compactness provide an effective way to identify irregularities in congressional district boundaries. A low convexity coefficient may suggest that a district has been gerrymandered …”

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/233685365_Gerrymandering_and_Convexity

Consider Illinois’ 4rth Congressional District, it has a wild shape. There is a thin bridge connecting the Melrose Park region to the Cicero region because of the requirement that districts be contiguous (e.g. there’s 48 contiguous States).

https://news.wttw.com/2016/02/16/illinois-4th-congressional-district-candidates?mini=2020-02

The convexity coefficient indicates the likelihood that a district contains the line segment joining any pair of randomly selected points. The convexity coefficient for the Fourth District of Illinois is 0.237 which is not good.[1] Take a look at the Oklahoma Congressional Districts. Nothing too crazy as for their shapes. I would put the whole of Oklahoma county into District 5, but other than that I would give Oklahoma a good mark for the divisions.

By the way, Nobel Prize-winning economist Kenneth Arrow (d. 2017) demonstrated that there is no perfect voting system:

** Social Media #SocMed & The Porn Pandemic

Social media’s addictive features have recently been on trial in California and Florida. Will the #Tek_GiantZ change their ways and repent? Are you suffering from anxiety, depression, dysmorphia fears and addictions? Will you now sue the owners of #Tick_Tack #UToob and other major moguls? Are you caught in a vicious cycle of #Doom and self-harm? Certain internal documents show that companies designed platforms to be addictive.

According to the Lawsuit Information Center, “The presence of predators on social media and the sharing of explicit content can lead to cases of child sexual abuse.”

https://www.lawsuit-information-center.com/social-media-addiction-lawsuits.html#harm

Will there now be a flood of attorneys suing social media for porn addiction?

YEP, Crash on I-35 (OKC), Hannity & The Titan Disaster

Have you heard of the Search Engine yep.com?

Search “Young Earth” 2026 and get some helpful results:

https://yep.com/web?q=%22Young%20Earth%22%202026

YEP gave 2 relevant results …

One is from Homeschool Blogger with my video Young Earth Today 2026:

https://homeschoolblogger.com/totalyouth/2022/07/27/young-earth-today-2026-my-3rd-rock-in-not-old/

Here is a more recent video defending the #Young_Earth #Y6K

https://youtu.be/YL7pr8eoegM?list=PLbffU3foCZmaIKcM3yn9ki_0B4KBBW_Wc

The second result from YEP is “What to Learn from the Decline of Young Earth Creationism” by Marc Sims from last month:

https://mereorthodoxy.com/what-to-learn-from-the-decline-of-young-earth-creationism

Marc Sims received his M.Div. from Southern Seminary in Louisville (KY). He is the teaching pastor at Quinault Baptist Church in Kennewick, Washington. One wonders if he’s visited the Ark Encounter or the Creation Museum in Kentucky and spoken with Dr. Terry Mortenson (Ph.D. History of Geology) and Dr. Nathan Jeanson (Ph.D. Cell Biology – Harvard).

In my convenience poll on the Age of the Earth, 30% held to a Young Earth:

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/jay-hall-m-s-b64526a_ageabroftheabrearth-activity-7284573511656906754-u5br?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAHbbPwBBTN3-5NHy1Ow3Aqgq-KCW2E14ew

This is the national survey that I would like to see …

How Old is the Earth?

A) 4,000 years

B) 6,000 years

C) 8,000 years

D) 10,000 years

E) More than 10,000 years

So, I would question the very thesis in the title of Bro Sims article.

Al Mohler, the President of Southern Seminary, is a Young Earth advocate:

https://www.ligonier.org/posts/2010-ligonier-national-conference-albert-mohler

I highly suggest that Bro Marc get Dr. Madueme’s book on #SIN from Baker Academic.

Defending Sin: A Response to the Challenges of Evolution and the Natural Sciences

by Hans Madueme:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0801098009

This book is not written to excuse unrighteousness, but rather defends the Young Earth view. It received an Honorable Mention in Theological Studies from the Southwestern Journal of Theology Book Award in 2024.

According to Thomas McCall of Asbury Theological Seminary, "This is the most erudite and theologically sophisticated defense of 'young earth creationism’ that I have read.”

Contact Dr. McCall:

https://asburyseminary.edu/faculty/thomas-mccall/

Sims quotes Carl Trueman of Grove City College, whose new book is The Desecration of Man, as follows:

Whether evolution can be argued from the evidence is actually irrelevant to the reason most people believe it. Few of us are qualified to opine on the science. But evolution draws on the authority that science possesses in modern society. Like priests of old who were trusted by the community at large and therefore had significant social authority, so scientists today often carry similar weight. And when the idea being taught has an intuitive plausibility, it is persuasive.

The exact same thought applies to OEF’s or Old Earth Fallacies!

Sims brings up the classic objection of how did we get day and night before the #Sun was created on #Day4 ? If you’ve been to a concert or basketball game lately, you’ve used the flashlight on ur phone. Let me break this down to the base level …

[Earth] … … … <<<<< [light]

Makes sense, right?!

Another book Sims should read in Coming to Grips with Genesis which answers all the common objections to the non-traditional reading of the First Book of Scripture:

https://answersingenesis.org/store/product/coming-grips-genesis/

Consider Jesus’ AGE verses: Mk. 10:6, Mk. 13:19-20, Lk. 11:50,51.

“But at the beginning of creation God ‘made them male and female’” (Mk. 10:6).
So, there can’t be millions of years between Day1 and the creation of Adam.

If Jesus is young earth, we should be too.

To the best of my knowledge, there have been no formal debates on …

** Jesus was Young Earth.

** The New Testament supports a Young Earth.

Sims fails to mention the A+ documentary Is Genesis History? with Del Tackett (Truth Project):

https://youtu.be/UM82qxxskZE

For in six days [Day1 to Day6] the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore, the Lord blessed the Sabbath day [not Epoch] and made it holy. (Ex. 20:11) … #EX2011 #X2011 #Six7

Sims decries #Creationistas who warn of the slippery slope. “Deviate from a young-earth and you are on a slippery slope to deny the essential tenets of our faith; disagree on this issue and you do not take the Bible seriously,” he wrote, mocking Orthodox Protestants who take Genesis as Historical Narrative (“OPGANE”).

The slippery slope is real, for example,

**Rhett McLaughlin (of Rhett & Link fame)

** Seth Andrews (Deconverted)

https://x.com/i/grok?conversation=2043432330208088133

Embracing Darwinism led to doubt which led to agnosticism or atheism.

And, of course, Darwin himself is case study on the #Road2Compromise

See chapter 10 of my book, “Dawin’s Downers”

→Now for the #News

✱Hannity Flips the Vatican

Recently on his show I heard Sean Hannity say that he is no longer Roman Catholic:

https://www.christianpost.com/news/sean-hannity-says-faith-is-stronger-than-ever-after-leaving-catholic-church-over-institutionalized-corruption.html

mooore >>

https://www.themix.net/tv-shows/sean-hannity-opens-up-religious-journey-christian-faith/

This is not new news, but it shows that he still holds that position and his departure was not just a temporary fad. Ann Coulter is another example of high-profile ex-Catholic who has apparently turned Protestant. #RCC

✱Tragic Crash on I-35 in OKC

Three people, including an Oklahoma State Trooper and child were killed in a crash on I-35 in OKC last WED (4-8-26):

https://www.koco.com/article/oklahoma-city-i35-crash-highway-patrol-trooper/70965279

The crash involved debris falling from a truck, which caused an SUV to swerve, cross the center cable barrier, and collide with OHP Trooper Vernon Brake. The Oklahoma Highway Patrol (OHP) is seeking dashcam footage. If you have any, please call 405-425-2323. Another report from CDL Life:

✱The Titan “Nuclear Explosion”

Recently much discussion has surrounded the actual use of nuclear weapons. Has America ever experienced a “nuclear explosion”? Well, sort of …

The 1980 Damascus (AR) Titan missile explosion in Arkansas was triggered when an Airman dropped an 8-pound socket wrench from a height 80 feet, which bounced around and punctured the Titan II missile's first-stage fuel tank. The fuel leak led to a catastrophic explosion on September 19^th. The explosion ejected the 9-megaton nuclear warhead 600 feet from the silo. The blast fatally injured Airman David Livingston and injured 21 other personnel. There was no radioactive contamination.

The explosion of the volatile fuel blew off the 740 ton silo door of reinforced concrete and steel!

A 9-megatgon bomb would burn up people outside (not in a bunker) within a 20 mile radius.

Now for a bit of “Fun & Satire” (Fried Food Free) …
