Pedro Penguin and a Young Earth (Comic)

I have recently moved back to Oklahoma where both my parents are from.  Some of you Okies may remember my old friend Paul Shell (d. 2019).  He was a reporter and copy editor with The Daily Oklahoman for over three decades.  He exposed political corruption within the powers that be.  We worked at the Pioneer (OCCC, "O Trip C") together where I had the privilege of interviewing Maya Angelou (I have 2 of her quarters).  I also had a political cartoon published in the Pioneer.  More info on Pedro the Penguin below.

 

Over the decades, the "trustability" of many papers has gone downhill.  However, my mom still reads The Oklahoman daily.  Before my father passed the mortal coil, he would hit the obits first thing in the morn.  Some newspapers can only survive through outside support.  The motto of the NYT has been "All the News That's Fit to Print."  Yet, do you recall the resignation in 2020 of NYT op-ed staff editor Bari Weiss?  She was constantly bullied by her colleagues and called vicious names.  The NYT leadership did not come to her defense or help heal the poor relationships.  Since when has unlawful discrimination and a hostile work environment been part of good journalism?

 

So, we need comics that are willing to stand outside the box.  Pedro is taking a radical stance by defending a youthful world.  Let me know what you think, pro or con, I believe in free speech:

At the present time, my toon is not syndicated.

Here are some helpful references showing that humanity is young by Tomkins, Jeanson & Fu et al (3 separate papers).  The details on the Gallup poll may be read here.  You may laugh at penguins in the desert (like snakes on a plane), but the remains of the  Giant Penguin were found in Kiwi Land in 2018.  For books defending the young earth, go to my site:  https://totalyouth.us/

 

But ask the animals, and they will teach you,

or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;

or speak to the earth, and it will teach you,

or let the fish in the sea inform you.

Which of all these does not know

that the hand of the Lord has done this? (Job 12:7-9)

A Challenge to the Deep Time Paradigm

According to a paper on "Uncertainties in Age Dating" by C.S. Noble and J.J. Naughton published in Science, radiodating is not all that:

 

The radiogenic argon and helium contents of three basalts erupted into the deep ocean from an active volcano (Kilauea) have been measured.  Ages calculated from these measurements increase with sample depth up to 22 million years for lavas deduced to be recent.  Caution is urged in applying dates from deep-ocean basalts in studies on ocean-floor spreading. ...it is possible to deduce that these lavas are very young, probably less than 200 years old. [1]

 

If radiometric dating can't give us the correct answer for rocks of known age, why should we trust it for a stone allegedly billions of years old?

Way back in the 1970's, the New York Times was not afraid to oppose the Deep Time Syndicate:

 

A fundamental assumption of nuclear physics - the predictable decay rates of radioactive materials - has been opened to question on the basis of research reported here today at the national meeting of the American Chemical Society.  ... Dr. John L. Anderson, a Tennessee chemist, described experimental  observations with radioactive carbon‐14 that he said “just do not fit the accepted theory.” ... Dr. Willard F. Libby [who developed ¹⁴C dating], a Nobel Prize‐winning chemist at the University of California at Los Angeles, said: “I must say I've racked my brain about what's going on in his data. It's a real bag of worms.” ... Dr. Anderson said that his observations indicated that the decay rates might not be as constant as  assumed.  Other forces, perhaps from adjacent atoms, could alter the process, he said.

 

One application of accelerated nuclear decay is aiding the safe and sure disposal of radioactive wastes from nuclear power plants.

 

From a more recent item in Geology in 1990, Ajoy Baksi (Geology Dept., Louisiana State Univ.) dropped the kraken on isotope dating: "Subjective and, in many instances, incorrect use of radiometric data has become endemic in the earth science literature.  Mathematical analysis of imperfect and, in many cases, highly subjective data sets leads to dubious conclusions." [2]

In contrast to the humility shown by Baksi, some researchers seem blinded by their own bias.  Think about this manifesto from the founder of the modern series of Scientific American, Gerard Piel (d. 2004):

 

A scientist has no system of absolutes to tell him whether he is right or wrong ... He can trust no authority but his own judgment. ... In biology, all of us are Darwinians; we perceive the unity of our species with all other living things and find a new reverence for life in the realization that we are the terminal point of its  evolution on our planet. ... All of us, in brief, are scientists.  With the overthrow of received  authority and the banishing of superstition, we are comprehending that it is man's destiny to make himself. [3]

 

First off, there are hundreds (if not thousands) of biologists who reject Darwinism.  The authority of Big Science tells us that the earth is old, but what if they are wrong?  An AP-GfK poll from 2014 found that 36% of Americans doubt Old Earth Fallacies (4.5B).  Are the transhumanists right?  Will humans develop into some more advanced being?  Who can fight the authority of Big Tek censorship?
