• Coelacanth: Making the Most of an Unevolved Fish

  The coelacanth genome has been sequenced.  Does it show evidence for evolution?  Only to those with a good imagination. The genome was published in Nature this week.  Science Now put the problem with coelacanth into perspective: The coelacanth isn’t called a “living fossil” for nothing. The … Continue reading →

  

• Pseudogene Plays Important Role in Cell Cycle

  by Jeffrey Tomkins, Ph.D. Once again, DNA sequence that was once thought to be nothing but a genomic fossil has shown itself to be vital to human survival. In this case, if the so-called pseudogene is not functioning properly, cell … Continue reading →

  

• The Religious Nature of Evolution Theory and its Attack on Christianity

  by John G. Leslie, Ph.D. and Charles K. Pallaghy, Ph.D. Biologists and other groups have tried to prevent creationism from being taught at our schools and universities, arguing that it is religious or Biblical. They do not seem to want students to … Continue reading →

  

• Titan’s Methane Still Puzzles Scientists

  By David Coppedge The methane in Titan’s atmosphere should be long gone, and may be disappearing soon, planetologists say. A JPL press release states that the stability of Titan’s scattered polar lakes suggests that ethane, not methane, is the primary constituent.  If so, … Continue reading →

  

• Sir Fredrick Hoyle on the Formation of Life

  “The likelihood of the formation of life from  inanimate matter is one out of 10 to the power of 40,000…It is big enough to bury Darwin and the whole theory of evolution.  There was no primeval soup, neither on this … Continue reading →

  

• Divorce Spats Between Lucy and Designated Replacement

  Lucy was the darling of the 1980s, but with Australopithecus sediba taking center stage, her fans are not happy. Science gave Lee Berger, Sedi’s agent (4/10/2010), prominent coverage in a special issue on April 12, with six papers about the south African rising … Continue reading →

  

• Evolutionists Scramble ‘Fossil-Egg Evidence’

  by Brian Thomas, M.S. Bird fossils do not generally ruffle paleontologist’s feathers, but some amazing specimens from China’s Jehol province—preserving eggs inside fossil bird bodies—might do just that. Researchers suggested that the bird egg features lend themselves to an evolutionary … Continue reading →

  

• Have They Found the Spark That Powered the Primordial Soup?

  By R. L. David Jolly Evolutionists have a number of theories of how life originated here on Earth.  Many believe that an ancient earth cooled from a hot cosmic blob of dust and gas and that as it cooled, a … Continue reading →

  

• Was God’s finished creation perfect?

  by Dr Jonathan D Sarfati People who want to fit millions of years into the Bible have to accept death before Adam’s sin. Some do this by arguing that animal death isn’t inconsistent with a perfect creation, and others argue that … Continue reading →

  

• Wood You Cellulose for Starch?

  Cellulose is the most abundant biomolecule, but how it’s made still baffles scientists.  Soon, though, you may be able to eat it. Two stories in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) talked about cellulose: one, about how it’s made, … Continue reading →

  

• Twice as wrong—and more

  Fossilized eukaryote cells and giant anomalocaridids force dramatic revisions of the evolutionary timeline The discovery of fossilized cells1 in north-west Scotland has forced a dramatic rewrite of the supposed evolutionary history of life on Earth.2 That’s because the fossil organisms were said … Continue reading →

  

• Flood Geology vs Secular Catastrophism

  What are the differences? Much is made of the debate between ‘gradualists’ like Charles Lyell and ‘catastrophists’ like Georges Cuvier in the history of geology. In the 19th century it seemed that Lyell’s gradualism won the day—it was the dominant paradigm … Continue reading →

  

• ‘Flat gaps’ in sedimentary rock layers challenge long geologic ages

  by Ariel A. Roth ‘Flat gaps’, generally known as paraconformities, are contacts within sedimentary sequences where layers of sediment representing many millions of years are said to be missing. Flat gaps are remarkably flat and the sedimentary layers either side of … Continue reading →

  

• Human and Animal Brains: Uniquenesses and Similarities

  By David Coppedge Several recent science articles explore what we have in common with animals, and what is unique about the human mind. Grammar test:  A Science Daily entry tells the upshot in the headline: “Young Children Have Grammar and Chimpanzees Don’t.”  … Continue reading →

  

• Rethinking Carbon-14 Dating: What Does It Really Tell Us about the Age of the Earth?

  by Jake Hebert, Ph.D. Evolutionists have long used the carbon-14, or radiocarbon, dating technique as a “hammer” to bludgeon Bible-believing Christians. A straightforward reading of the Bible describes a 6,000-year-old universe, and because some carbon-14 (14C) age estimates are multiple … Continue reading →

• Students Need to Argue Science, Not Memorize It

  By David Coppedge A professor of science education has a radical idea: teach science through argumentation, because that’s the way scientists do it. If you were bored in science class having to learn a bunch of facts, you might have … Continue reading →
