• Do Habitats Create Creatures?

  Russian scientists announced the discovery of the world’s oldest fossil worm burrows in Ediacaran rocks, even though very few fossils are typically found below Cambrian rock layers. Do these worm burrows help answer the longstanding challenge to evolution called the … Continue reading →

  

• Follow the Leader: Plants and Animals

  Need solutions to engineering problems?  Look no further than the plants and animals around you.  That’s what more and more scientists are doing. How dry I am:  Lotus leaves and gecko toes stay clean and dry because they repel water … Continue reading →

  

• Tracking Those Incredible Hypercanes

  The world immediately after the Genesis Flood was considerably different than it is today. The crust of the earth ripped apart, continents moved around, hot magma spewed into the ocean, water inundated the entire globe, sediment was deposited over most … Continue reading →

  

• Mechanisms of Adaptation in Biology: Genetic Diversity

  God gifted His living creatures with the ability to adapt to new or changing environments. Genetic diversity in adaptation refers to variation within created kinds of organisms. For example, consider the wide variety of dogs—they come in all shapes, colors, … Continue reading →

  

• R.L. Wysong on Evolution

    Evolution requires plenty of faith; a faith in L-proteins that defy chance formation; a faith in the formation of DNA codes which, if generated spontaneously, would spell only pandemonium; a faith in a primitive environment that, in reality, would … Continue reading →

  

• Lab Studies Show Evolutionary ‘Evidence’ Is Merely Assumed

  A recent news feature in Nature described the work of molecular biologist Joe Thornton, who studies the biology of toxins. He found that they often operate by mimicking very specific chemicals that fit into receptor proteins like keys into door locks. He … Continue reading →

  

• Extreme Cold Can Be an Inconvenient Truth: Botanical Design Ensures Plant Survival

  Recently, the Institute for Creation Research acquired some property in Alaska that will enable its scientists to study the unique mechanisms in plants that allow them to live in extreme climates. The selection of available tree species (white spruce, alder, … Continue reading →

  

• Do Migratory Birds Practice Preventative Medicine?

  Before a long migration, certain birds shift from an insect diet to eating fruits such as berries. Researchers once thought that this added carbohydrate reserves as fuel for the journey. But a new study out of the University of Rhode … Continue reading →

  

• Life’s Irreducible Structure—Part 2: Naturalistic Objections

  In Part I of this article, I showed that autopoiesis (self-making) provides a compelling case for the intelligent design of life because all aspects of life lie beyond the reach of naturalistic explanation. Here in Part II the argument from … Continue reading →

  

• Why Didn’t the Solar Storm Cause More Damage on Earth?

  Last week, the earth was struck by a significant solar storm that could have caused a lot of damage to life on earth.  We heard warnings that our cell phones could have problems and that it could even disrupt some … Continue reading →

  

• Plant UV Detectors Could Not Have Evolved

  The first chapter of the timeless text of Genesis states, “And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that … Continue reading →

  

• Scientists Excited Over Fossilized Black classification,

  In 2003, the paleontology world was abuzz with the news of a newly discovered fossil that was dubbed Microraptor (small one who seizes).  What made this fossil so exciting is that it had well defined feathers over most of the … Continue reading →

  

• Scandinavian Conifers and the Ice Age

  Most evolutionists believe that there were numerous ice ages, some more severe than others and that the last one ended around 9,000 to 10,000 years ago.  They also believed that the glacial ice sheets that covered the northern regions of … Continue reading →

  

• Genesis Critics Flunk Forensic Science 101

  The forensic character of origins science, as opposed to the observational nature of empirical science, is routinely bungled and botched by uniformitarian evolutionists. They strain out gnats, yet they drink down whole camels, illustrating a kind of blindness that the Lord Jesus spoke of … Continue reading →

  

• Frozen Plants Found in Permafrost Growing Once Again

  by RL David Jolly A number of animals including squirrels dig burrows in the ground and use them not only to live in, but to store foods for harder times.  As a wildlife biologist, I’ve have carefully excavated some of … Continue reading →
