 "A newly-discovered asteroid designated 2025 TF made an extremely close approach to Earth

at 00:49 UTC on October 1, 2025, reaching a nominal distance of 0.02 LD (0.00005 AU / 6 790 km / 4 220 miles) from Earth’s center — equivalent to about 419 km (260 miles) above the surface over Antarctica. At this distance, it is now classified as the second-closest asteroid flyby ever recorded. The object belongs to the Apollo group of asteroids and has an estimated diameter between 1.2 and 2.7 m (4–9 feet). It flew past Earth at a relative speed of 20.9 km/s (75 200 km/h or 46 700 mph)." W

IN the NEWS - What's going on? Very strange Times in America

IN the NEWS - Green Religion Fail

Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. 

Romans 1:22 NLT

"NASA's ICESat-2 satellite has been watching Antarctica like a hawk, and in early 2024, it spotted something that made scientists do

a collective head scratch.
The National Snow and Ice Data Center recorded unexpected sea ice expansion in parts of East Antarctica, completely contradicting predictions of continued decline. 

Researchers had their monitoring equipment double-checked because the data seemed so unlikely.
This wasn't just a small blip either – we're talking about significant areas where ice actually grew when it should have been shrinking. The discovery has forced climate scientists to reconsider some of their assumptions about how Antarctic ice responds to changing

conditions.
The Alfred Wegener Institute wasn't content to just look at satellite data from space – they sent teams directly to Antarctica to see what was happening on the ground. Their field missions in 2024 confirmed localized thickening of sea ice layers, particularly in the Weddell Sea region.
The German researchers found ice layers that were significantly thicker than expected, validating what the satellites had been reporting."

IN the NEWS - Only Secular leftists WHINE about the bloom of Life

And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. Genesis 9:7

Only Secular Leftists would be Freaking Out about the Blooming Rose of Life in a Cold, Frozen Barren Land.

As you can guess, they claim it's "climate change". But they also claim a contributing factor is man's presence which is probably the real reason....and of course---they use it for Climate Alarmism.

"In the icy expanse of Antarctica—flowers, once a rare sight, are now

blooming and spreading rapidly across the frozen continent....Experts note that the region’s average temperatures have surged by a staggering 3°C because of human factors and climate change....Convey from the British Antarctic Survey warned the gravity of the situation, “The most novel feature of this is not the idea that something is growing faster. It’s that we think we’re starting to see what is almost like a step change or a tipping point.” CareerStepUp

Polar Dinosaurs

And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
Genesis 7:12

"Polar dinosaurs refer to dinosaur fossils found within the polar

latitudes. In the Southern Hemisphere, polar latitudes would also include southeast Australia, New Zealand, and the Chatham Islands where dinosaur fossils have been found. existence of polar dinosaurs has raised at least four conundrums for the evolutionary paradigm. For instance, climate models indicate the polar latitudes would have been very cold during the Cretaceous winter, while the paleoflora and paleofauna indicate temperatures had to have been above freezing all year around:

“Paleobotanical evidence clearly indicates that during much of the Cretaceous northern polar temperatures on lands surrounding the Arctic Ocean were above freezing during the polar night. … Evidence for very warm Arctic Ocean waters (15 to 20°C) has been presented by Jenkyns et al. (2004). Proxy data indicating ocean temperatures of 30°C at 60°S latitude (Bice et al., 2003) supports the idea of warm poles during much of the Cretaceous.”

Hay believes that lower topography, higher ocean levels, and greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide and methane, would have maintained above-freezing winter temperatures. 

He also erroneously thinks that, considering the average lapse rate of the atmosphere of 6°C/km, the lower topography would have resulted in warm polar night temperatures. Even if this lapse rate could be applied, it would not have warmed the Arctic much because the air was so cold to begin with. As far as lower topography is concerned, the continental areas of North America and Eurasia are relatively low anyway. Besides, the polar night causes a temperature inversion to which the average atmospheric lapse rate would not apply. 

---Despite all the possible variables that could be applied to cause polar warmth, the cold winter temperatures depend especially on one variable: the angle of the sun, and the evolutionary model cannot do anything about that for the Cretaceous.

Cold winter temperatures are one of several other conundrums. For instance,

Q: why would dinosaurs have even lived there, considering that most scientists believe dinosaurs to have been warm-climate animals? Polar dinosaurs have unleashed much speculation on Arctic coping mechanisms.

Q: With long periods of darkness and photosynthesis cut off—and the resulting loss of vegetation—what would they have eaten?

The Creation/Flood model has the most plausible explanation for why

we find polar dinosaurs. 

The most likely explanation is the dinosaurs and the paleoflora were transported northward on Flood currents during the Inundatory Stage of the Flood.

In addition, very thick sediments, well over 10 km thick, are found on the Arctic margin, indicating immense northward erosion and transport of sediment from Alaska, pointing to northward currents at times during the Flood."

ARCHAEOLOGY: The Glossopteris Tree Stump

"A team of international researchers has discovered fossil tree fragments in Antarctica. 

These fossils add to the growing list discovered on the icy continent, leading some to believe that its landscape was once covered in lush forest. 

---Among the latest discoveries were fossil microorganisms, fungi, and even original amino acids that have been preserved inside the wood.

The team released a picture of a fossilized Glossopteris tree stump,

which they claimed still had the roots intact. The now extinct tree potentially grew up to 100 feet in height with long, tongue-shaped leaves. The team believes that the trees were rapidly covered with volcanic ash and then turned to stone.

“They’re actually some of the best-preserved fossil plants in the world,”

one researcher said.

“The fungi in the wood itself were probably mineralized and turned into stone within a matter of weeks, in some cases probably while the tree was still alive. These things happened incredibly rapidly. You could have witnessed it firsthand if you were there.”

The rapid fossilization is no surprise to Biblical creationists, but does not sit well with the evolutionary story of rock layers supposedly millions of years old. 

If the team’s assumptions about the fossils’ origins are correct, they were likely formed during the first half of Noah’s Flood when there was great volcanic activity when the fountains of the great deep broke up (In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. Genesis 7:11)." CMI

ARCHAEOLOGY: Antarctica's Leaves

And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days.

Genesis 7:24

 

"Perfectly preserved leaves under Antarctic ice tell a story. 

But what is the correct plot?

Fossil forests under Antarctic ice (University of Melbourne). Australian researchers tell about the arduous expedition they took in 2001 to look for fossils in a remote part of Antarctica. They had to travel through Drake’s Passage, “the most treacherous stretch of water in the world,” but their trials were only beginning.

Together with Dame Professor Jane Francis from the British

Antarctic Survey and with the help of our mountaineer, Robert Smith, we endured quad bikes bogged in mud, extreme 100 knot winds that constantly beat against our tents during a three-day blizzard, and were nearly stranded on Seymour Island for the entire winter when the sea ice choked the ship’s passage through the Antarctic Sound between Elephant Island and the main peninsula.

Despite the ordeal, they successfully collected fossil leaves from Seymour Island to the west of the Antarctic Peninsula. Apparently they have been studying the fossils ever since. Fitting the leaves into the evolutionary timeline, they state that “They are evidence that extensive forests grew at high latitudes during the late Paleocene (around 58–56 million years ago).”

These beautiful impressions of leaves, preserved in fine-

grained sandstones and siltstones, are the best-preserved Antarctic Peninsula flora from the Paleocene. They show significant diversity of leaf architecture – shape, size, patterns of leaf veins – despite growing in the polar region, where low angles of light are experienced during winter.

They found more diversity of plant species than had been known

before from wood specimens. They say, “”the diversity of entire-margined (or smooth-edged) leaves in the Paleocene forests was unexpected.” 

----They also found differences between the east and west sides of the Antarctic Peninsula. The closest living analogues are found in the Patagonian forests of South America.

The presence of temperate forests in what today is the coldest part of the world means that earth has experienced dramatic climate change in the past. Secular scientists have this all worked out on their timeline, with names for the climate changes:

The Paleocene was a time that experienced rapid warming, leading into the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM in Figure 1) that saw a dramatic temperature increase of 8°C over 10,000 years, a mere blink of an eye in geological time.

This was followed by the warmest time of the Cenozoic Era, during a period known as the Eocene greenhouse, before Earth cooled and the ice caps first formed approximately 34 million years ago, caused by the break-up of Gondwana.

The names confer an appearance of history, but what do they really know? Certainly the discovery of plant materials, particularly leaves from temperate climates, were not expected when they were first found in 1833. These were big specimens, too, comparable to some of the large flowering trees of Australia and New Zealand, like giant kauri trees and eucalyptus trees.

We now know that fossils are, in fact, abundant in Antarctica, and the most common are of wood and leaves. They are evidence of what is called the Antarctic Paradox –how can forests be preserved on a continent that experiences temperatures as low as -83 °C and is covered in thick ice sheets?

Part of the paradox is the condition of the fossils. They are

sandwiched in sedimentary layers. These leaves, they say, come from a warm time at the end of the dinosaur extinction, whereas other fossil wood described earlier, is labeled Permian, which is 6 times older than these leaves in the evolutionary time scheme (250 million to 280 million Darwin Years old). And yet the report about these posted 22 Nov 2017 includes a statement that the explorers could still extract amino acids from the wood!

The research paper is published in Review of Palaeobotany and Palynology, February 2021: Tosolini et al, “Paleocene high-latitude leaf flora of Antarctica Part 1: entire-margined angiosperms.”

......they toss millions of years around like dollar bills, drawn from their reckless drafts on the bank of time. They cannot say that the fossils on Seymour Island are contemporaneous with the Permian fossils, because flowering plants had supposedly not evolved by then. Consequently, they have to invent multiple warming periods separated by hundreds of millions of years in order to get these trees to grow in the land of the midnight sun.

The secular timeline makes no sense if they can still extract amino acids from some of the oldest wood fossils. It’s interesting that the forests do not appear to have grown in situ. They admit that the fossils resemble the Yellowstone fossil forests, which geologists now believe were rafted into their current positions. A simpler interpretation without the extreme climate swings is that the plant material was rafted into these locations by the Flood. The extreme dynamics of a global flood could have carried rafts of vegetation far from their place of origin, depositing perfectly-preserved leaves in “layers of fine-grained sandstones and siltstones” instead of soil. Creation geologists and botanists should lead the secularists out of their slavery to Pharaoh Darwin into the promised land.

Noticed in passing: the press releases admit to dramatic warming

episodes in the past on earth, but it wouldn’t be politically correct to cast doubt on the current global warming hysteria. 

The Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum is a fascinating time and one of the most dramatic and rapid warming events in Earth’s history. Although it pales in comparison to the rate of modern, human-induced warming, it is possibly our best analogue for Earth’s future climate.

Man must be blamed! We must not upset the activists in Paris!" CEH

Flood & Planation of Antarctica

 ....the waters of the flood were upon the earth. Genesis 7:10

 "Planation surfaces are especially widespread on the continents of Africa and Australia.  

*The prevalence of the water-rounded rocks that commonly cap their surfaces suggest these surfaces were formed by a heavy sediment-filled flow of water. 

Antarctica is no exception to planation features. Nunataks are mountains that stick up above the ice and planation surfaces have been carved on some of these mountains.

An airborne geophysical survey was undertaken across the Institute and Möller ice streams, which drain 20% of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. 

The ice streams drain into the Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf marine embayment and are grounded below sea level. Researchers discovered that in the bedrock below the ice, there is a zone of apparently flat and smooth topography between the deeper troughs and basins occupied by the two fast ice streams. 

The smooth topography between ice streams is heavily dissected by U-shaped valleys and is composed of a higher surface and a lower surface, separated by a break in slope, as seen in the longitudinal cross-section.

The bedrock below is folded sedimentary rock with granite intrusions that stick above the ice as nunataks, meaning the planation surface often cuts at an angle to the bedding. The present altitudes of the planation surface range from 200 m to –1,500 m, which if corrected for isostatic depression caused by the ice would have been 600 m to –1,100 m. The mean elevation before glaciation would have been 270 m below sea level. The researchers correctly interpreted the surfaces as pre-glacial. Planation surfaces have also been discovered below the ice in other areas of Antarctica.

  

The researchers were puzzled about the origin of such a planation surface. They acknowledged the uncertainty and long debates over the origin of such surfaces. 

They have two favored hypotheses: marine erosion or fluvial (river) erosion. 

Marine erosion along the coasts of many previously glaciated areas does exist, e.g. along almost all the west coast of Norway. They are called strandflats, but their origin is also a mystery, although marine abrasion is suggested. 

--The problem with using strandflats as an analogue to the planation surface under discussion is that strandflats are only several tens of kilometres wide at most. 

Moreover, strandflats are near the present sea level. 

---Within the Biblical framework, this is best explained by sea ice erosion during the Ice Age, particularly during deglaciation.

 

The researchers believe that river erosion could have formed planation surfaces. This seems to be the default explanation for planation surfaces worldwide. 

--- However, no one has observed the formation of a planation surface except on a very small scale. The only exception is when a river floods and planes its bank, but this is a very local occurrence compared to planation surfaces that are commonly tens of thousands of km in area. The problem with the example under study is that the planing occurred at an average of 270 m below sea level. 

So, the researchers suggest that the area could have been tectonically higher in the past. 

 

Planation surfaces indeed worldwide 

The planation surfaces that are observed below the ice in 

 Antarct

ica are similar to some of those found on other continents, and it could be argued that their formation is of similar origin. Sheet flow during the runoff of the Flood would have flattened the surface and deposited rounded rocks. This would have been followed by channelized erosion. 

The final phase of the Flood was at a time of differential vertical tectonics that would have broken up and/or eroded large planation surfaces, sometimes down into erosional remnants. 

Antarctica is not an exception to the puzzling (for those who hold to uniformitarianism) geomorphological features seen on other continents.  

--The valleys carved into the planation surface are thought to be glacial, but they could easily have been carved by channelized erosion and later modified by ice." MichaelOard/CMI

ARCHAEOLOGY: Pre-Flood birds of Antarctica?

And God created ... every winged fowl after his kind... Genesis 1:21

 "Fossils recovered from Antarctica in the 1980s represent the oldest giant members of an extinct group of birds that patrolled the southern oceans with wingspans of up to 21 feet that would dwarf the 11½-foot wingspan of today’s largest bird, the wandering

albatross.

Called pelagornithids, the birds filled a niche much like that of today’s albatrosses and traveled widely over Earth’s oceans.

“Our fossil discovery, with its estimate of a 5-to-6-meter wingspan — nearly 20 feet — shows that birds evolved to a truly gigantic size relatively quickly after the extinction of the dinosaurs and ruled over the oceans for millions of years,” said Peter Kloess, a graduate student at the University of California, Berkeley.

The last known pelagornithid is from 2.5 million years ago, a time of changing climate as Earth cooled, and the ice ages began.

Kloess is the lead author of a paper describing the fossil that appears this week in the open access journal Scientific Reports. 

The fossils that the paleontologists describe are among many collected in the mid-1980s from Seymour Island, off the northernmost tip of the Antarctic Peninsula....years ago, Antarctica had a much warmer climate during the time known as the Eocene and was not the forbidding, icy continent we know today, Stidham noted. Alongside extinct land mammals, like marsupials and distant relatives of sloths and anteaters, a diversity of Antarctic birds occupied the land, sea and air."SciTech

Archaeology: 2nd Advent LESSON of Antarctic Forests

For this they willingly are ignorant of,
that by the word of God the heavens were of old,
and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
But the heavens and the earth, which are now,
by the same word are kept in store,
reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
2 Peter 3:5-7

"Just two summers ago, a team was surprised to discover not just one but five “forests” piled on top of each other. They claimed the supposedly 260-million-year-old fossils represent a series of different forests that grew slowly and were buried one on top of the other over millions of years.

They found several layers of tree stumps buried upright with parts of their roots still connected. They also found impressions of long, broad, flat leaves jumbled together in massive mats.

The long-held assumption was that the Glossopteris plant was strictly deciduous (meaning its leaves drop annually in the autumn). Scientists made this assumption because they usually find their fossil leaves in mats, similar to thick mats on the floors of modern deciduous forests. The new analysis showed they were a mix of deciduous and evergreen trees. How could this be?

By looking closely at the sizes of the stumps, they also calculate the likely heights of the trees. The largest stump was almost 2 feet in diameter, so that tree was estimated to have been over 100 feet tall before it was destroyed.

-Let’s start with an observation about the stumps.
The published photos of these fossil tree stumps show “intact” roots branching from the bases of the stems. But closer inspection reveals the ends of the roots are missing, having been broken off. So these trees didn’t grow where they are now buried! Instead, they must have grown somewhere else, and then been uprooted and transported by the same water that carried and deposited the

sediments in which they are buried.

-Another clue that all these layers came from the same flood waters is that the wood, bark, twigs, and leaves of these same Glossopteris trees are found buried in coal beds in the same rock unit throughout the southern hemisphere. A similar bed of organic debris accumulated rapidly on the bottom of Spirit Lake after the Mount St. Helens catastrophe.

-What about the slight chemical differences between the different layers? We need to remember that the forests that grew on the pre-flood supercontinent were in a different location than they are today, and they went through a lot before they reached their final resting place. The supercontinent broke apart into smaller continents at the beginning of the flood, and the forest fragments moved around before the sediments were deposited on these continents in different latitudes.

LESSON

Wearing our Biblical “glasses” allows us to view the same evidence but to see how it confirms God’s eyewitness record of the earth’s history, the Bible.
These fossilized tree stumps are not a record of life evolving over millions of years, but a warning of the coming eternal judgment for those who follow human reasoning alone, rather than first trusting in God and his Word."
