He proposed Biogenetic Law was supported with fraudulent pictures showing similarities of human embryos to those of fish, pig, chicken,etc. This was his attempt to demonstrate our common ancestry with animals. Although discredited 100 years ago, his drawings are still in some textbooks today.</p> <p><strong>Stem Cell Fraud: </strong>South Korean stem-cell researcher, <a href="http://www.creation-facts.org/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL2VuLndpa2lwZWRpYS5vcmcvd2lraS9Id2FuZ19Xb28tU3Vr" target=\"_blank\">Woo Suk Hwang</a>, was “the centre of one of the largest investigations of scientific fraud in living memory.” Hwang was discredited by his own home research institution, Seoul National University, for presenting fraudulent data, Nature Reported. “The revelation has destroyed the best evidence so far that stem cells can be extracted from a clone matched to a specific patient. With Hwang discredited, both the field of therapeutic cloning and the public’s trust in science have suffered a serious setback.” Nature, 1-11-2006</p> <p><strong>Scientists Invent Results: </strong> Times Online (June 4, 2009) headline reports that “One in seven scientists say colleagues fake data.” That figure applies to serious breaches of “acceptable conduct by <strong>inventing results</strong>.” The article went on to say that “46 percent say that they have observed fellow scientists engage in ‘<strong>questionable practices</strong>‘, such as presenting data selectively or <strong>changing the conclusions</strong> of a study in response to pressure from a funding source.”</p> <p><strong>ClimateGate: </strong>Washington Times (Nov 20, 24, etc. 2009) reported on potential fraud relating to global warming turned up by hackers breaking into the e-mails from the Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UAE) in England. “Those e-mails involved communication among many scientific researchers and policy advocates with similar ideological positions all across the world. Those purported authorities were brazenly discussing the destruction and hiding of data that did not support global-warming claims.” If investigations confirm that climate data has been hidden which negates the currently “politically correct” global warming hysteria, as well as the attempt to silence the “dissenters,” this would likely become the biggest scandal ever perpetrated on the whole world.</p> <p><strong>Editor’s Note: </strong>These are just a small sampling of the plethora of “scientific” frauds that have been told and written over and over again.

The most familiar example is its use in soft drinks and beer, to make them fizzy. Carbon dioxide released by baking powder or yeast makes cake batter rise.<br /> Some fire extinguishers use carbon dioxide because it is denser than air. Carbon dioxide can blanket a fire, because of its heaviness. It prevents oxygen from getting to the fire and as a result, the burning material is deprived of the oxygen it needs to continue burning.</p> <p>Carbon dioxide is also used in a technology called <a href="http://www.creation-facts.org/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL2VuLndpa2lwZWRpYS5vcmcvd2lraS9TdXBlcmNyaXRpY2FsX2ZsdWlk" target=\"_blank\">supercritical fluid extraction</a> that is used to <a href="http://www.creation-facts.org/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL2VuLndpa2lwZWRpYS5vcmcvd2lraS9EZWNhZmZlaW5hdGlvbg==" target=\"_blank\">decaffeinate coffee</a>. The solid form of carbon dioxide, commonly known as Dry Ice, is used in theatres to create stage fogs and make things like “magic potions” bubble.<strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>First</strong>, when carbon dioxide levels go up, <strong>many plants increase their use of carbon dioxide</strong>, making more oxygen.</p> <p><strong>Second</strong>, at higher carbon dioxide levels, <strong>plants tend to make tissue</strong> that doesn’t decay as easily. This ties up the extra carbon for longer periods of time.</p> <p><strong>Third</strong>, at higher carbon dioxide levels, <strong>plant tissues discourage insects from eating them</strong>, decreasing the re-release of the plants’ carbon as carbon dioxide.</p> <p>Our Creator expects us to take care of His creation.

These <a href="http://www.creation-facts.org/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5pZGxhYi5lbnRvLnZ0LmVkdS9JRExhYi92ZWdwZXN0cy92ZWdmcy9sZWFmbWluZXJzLmh0bWw=" target=\"_blank\">leaf miners</a> gain their nutrition from the leaf. But when fall comes, and the leaves lose their green chlorophyll, they stop making food for the larvae. So the larvae secrete a hormone that prevents the leaf from losing its chlorophyll and shutting down to die. This hormone enables a leaf to stay green and produce food for the larvae even long after the leaf would normally have turned color and dried up on the ground.</p> <p>Leaf miners present several problems for those who think that mindless evolution produced the variety of life that we see around us today. How did the larvae learn to make just the right hormone to preserve the leaf on which it depends? Are we to believe that these larvae kept evolving from something else until one of them figured out the chemistry of the leaf? And finally, are we to believe that this unlikely evolutionary event happened in several species?<br /> Just as the sprouting of new leaves in the spring means that summer is near, so the cleverness of the leaf miner should tell us that the hand of God created this insect. And we can reliably conclude that God made the entire creation.<br /> <strong>Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near.

At most 10 inches long, this deep-sea fish lives at depths between 1,500 and 4,500 feet. At these depths, the only light that gets through the water is a dim blue light. As a result, sighted creatures that live at those depths can see well in dim blue light, but virtually none of them can see light in the red end of the spectrum. None, that is, but the dragon fish, and that’s its secret weapon.</p> <p>The dragon fish is the only known creature to have <a href="http://www.creation-facts.org/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy50aGVmcmVlbGlicmFyeS5jb20vUmVkLWZsYXNoaW5nK2Zpc2graGF2ZStjaGxvcm9waHlsbCtleWVzLi1hMDIwOTA5NTg5" target=\"_blank\">chlorophyll</a> in its eyes. This compound gives the dragon fish the ability to see red light in the depths. But why would the dragon fish have these abilities if there is no red light to see? He makes his own red light. This <a href="http://www.creation-facts.org/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL2VuY2FydGEubXNuLmNvbS9lbmN5Y2xvcGVkaWFfNzYxNTU4MDk2L2Jpb2x1bWluZXNjZW5jZS5odG1s" target=\"_blank\">bioluminescent red light</a> is invisible to the dragon fish’s prey. But the dragon fish can see its red light reflecting off nearby prey, as a sniper who uses an infrared scope to sight his prey in the dark.</p> <p>The dragon fish offers a powerful set of arguments in favor of a Creator. Its unique ability to see red where there is no red light cannot be explained by natural selection. Before it supposedly evolved the ability to see red light, how would it know about red light? And why would it have evolved the ability to create a color of light it could not have known about? The dragon fish’s sniper like ability to find its prey with light invisible to its prey bears powerful witness to a wise and powerful Designer.</p> <p>References: S.
