• Human Cloning Is Back

  By David Coppedge If you thought work on human cloning and embryonic stem cell research went out of style with the discovery of induced pluripotent stem cells, watch out.  The pro-cloning people, who never lost their lust for toying with … Continue reading →

  

• Selection for a behavior, and the phenotypic traits that follow

  by Jean K. Lightner For over 50 years in a Russian experiment, foxes have been selected for one trait—tameness. The results have been fascinating. A population has resulted that is as tame as domestic dogs. These changes have been associated with … Continue reading →

  

• Is Mankind Getting Dumber?

  by Brian Thomas, M.S. Do today’s children have lower I.Q.’s than yesterday’s? Yes, according to measurements of intellectual and emotional strength gathered from different countries and contexts. The results show the same basic decline and resist the notion that public … Continue reading →

  

• Marketing Myostatin Inhibitors with Fake Science

  by Jeffrey Tomkins, Ph.D. Body builders and other athletes use nutritional supplements to increasingly exploit the muscular mass-building benefits of reducing the levels of a protein in the body called “myostatin.” While these products may be helpful and effective, the … Continue reading →

  

• Designer Cats Support Biblical Model of Created Kinds

  If you heard someone mention the word cat, what do you think of?  Chances are, you will think of some type of house cat – a pet.  A tabby? A Siamese?  Or perhaps a Maine Coon? Now these days, you … Continue reading →

  

• Buried Treasure Found Under the Ocean: DNA

  By David Coppedge The most information-rich medium known to man has been found in abundance under the sea, but man didn’t put it there. In “Ancient DNA Found Hidden Below Sea Floor,” Traci Watson described for Science Now what deep-sea explorers have found in … Continue reading →

  

• Long Complex Gene Tails Defy Evolution

  by Jeffrey Tomkins, Ph.D. If the picture of complexity regarding how genes are controlled and regulated in the genome was not complicated enough, a new study has increased this paradigm to an unprecedented level.1 Recently reported research describes massively long gene … Continue reading →

  

• All Europeans are related if you go back just 1,000 years, scientists say

  By Alan Boyle, Science Editor, NBC News A genetic survey concludes that all Europeans living today are related to the same set of ancestors who lived 1,000 years ago. And you wouldn’t have to go back much further to find … Continue reading →

  

• Alien Skeleton is Human After All

  By R. L. David Jolly Television and movies bombard us with the evolutionary idea that there are intelligent beings living on other planets and that they have visited the earth on numerous occasions.  Some go so far as to suggest … Continue reading →

  

• Modern Y-Chromosome Variation Surpasses Archaic Humans

  by Jeffrey Tomkins, Ph.D. The human Y-chromosome has been a sore point among secular scientists in recent years because of its many anti-evolutionary surprises. Adding to the Darwinian grief, is yet one more shocking Y-chromosome study that more clearly illustrates … Continue reading →

  

• How Similar Are Human and Ape Genes?

  by Jeffrey Tomkins, Ph.D. In the past, evolutionists have tried to prove human evolution by comparing only similar DNA segments between humans and apes—disregarding the non-similar DNA regions.1 Many evolutionary studies have involved the selective use of protein-coding segments in the … Continue reading →

  

• How Can You Punish an Evolved Criminal?

  By David Coppedge Left-leaning scientists have never given up on the 19th century notion that criminals are born, not made.  Other evidence suggests “innate tendencies” can be overcome. PhysOrg says, “Evil gene would make punishment a tricky business.”  But is there … Continue reading →

  

• Darwinist Writes Bible Commentary

  By David Coppedge A rationalist, Darwinist, rabid anti-creationist has surprising things to say about the Bible. Steve Jones, former head geneticist at University College London, is a Darwinist’s Darwinist.  Not only does he relegate everything in life to gradual natural … Continue reading →

  

• Biomimetics Roundup

  By David Coppedge Here’s a quick rundown of news on new technologies emerging from the study of plants, animals, and cells. Toxin sponges:  PhysOrg reported on “biomimetic nanospongers” made of absorbent material wrapped in red blood cell membranes that can drift in … Continue reading →

  

• Plant Epigenome Research Negates Evolution

  by Jeffrey Tomkins, Ph.D. Plants make ideal systems for studying the underlying biological processes that confer their ability to adapt in different environments. Several new studies show how plants do this without changing their genetic code through a process known … 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 →

  

• Embryology Gene Control Confounds Evolution

  by Jeffrey Tomkins, Ph.D. As they say in the real estate business, location is everything. It looks like the same working principle applies to genes and their control sequences in the genome during embryo development. And not just the gene’s … Continue reading →

  

• Beta-Globin Pseudogene Is Functional After All

  by Jeffrey Tomkins, Ph.D. One of the key arguments of human evolution has now suffered the same fate as many other debunked icons of the errant paradigm of “junk DNA.” In this case, it is new research related to the … Continue reading →

  

• The Hunt for Selection in the Genes

  By David Coppedge One might think that 154 years after Darwin’s book about it, natural selection would be empirically obvious.  The journal Nature went on a search for it in DNA. Nature’s piece, “Evolutionary Genomics: Detecting Selection” begins with hopes and … Continue reading →

  

• Changes: Big and Small

  by A.P. Staff The word “evolution” can have many different meanings. Basically, the word means “to unroll, unfold, or change.” Anything can “evolve” or change over a period of time. For instance, the body style of the Corvette® certainly has … Continue reading →
