Two recent entries in the evolution literature have application to one sex or the other. Y, chromosome? Because it is a unique structure, the Y chromosome in human males seems more subject to deleterious mutations. The Y is also unable … Continue reading
Most people have a passing knowledge of the food they eat, and perhaps how it gets digested. As with all human body systems, however, details of the digestive or gastrointestinal (GI) tract—including the incredibly rich microbial flora found at the … Continue reading
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
Many people may not realize that our bodies are home to trillions of bacteria. They cover our skin, they’re in our mouths, noses, ears, throats, blood and most of our organs. In fact, if we were to eliminate every bacteria … Continue reading
Imagine making a discovery so important that a whole branch of science dates its calendar by it. That is what happened because of a Christian doctor. Joseph Lister’s discovery of antisepsis has led some to divide the history of medicine … Continue reading
A pair of recent reports in the journal Science have added new insight into the incredible design and function of the human brain.1,2 The studies focused on the cortex—the part of the brain in the forefront that controls behavior, cognitive processes, and perception. … Continue reading
Jonathan Sarfati interviews Finnish biochemist Dr Matti Leisola Dr Matti Leisola obtained his D.Sc. (Tech) in biotechnology from the Helsinki (Finland’s capital) University of Technology in 1979. His extensive career includes winning the Latsis Prize for a significant young researcher in 1987 … Continue reading
Chris C. from Greece writes: Hello dear sir. I hope this is the right place to ask a scientific question. I’m aware of the information theory and how it is related to DNA and Creator, I have also read many … Continue reading
Does an embryo become a person only once brain cells begin developing? This week’s feedback features a supporter from Canada, who asks some thoughtful questions regarding abortion and brain development, and brain death. Their email is reproduced in full, and … Continue reading
Take a good look at your hands and wrists. Do you see lots of bluish lines that look like a maze under your skin? Those lines are veins that are sending your blood through your body. Most of us don’t … Continue reading
Evolutionists have long maintained that modern primate species (including, in their view, humans) are branches on an evolutionary tree that lead back to a common ancestor. But the recent news of the published genome sequence for the gorilla in the … Continue reading
The concept of what comprises a gene and how it works has changed markedly since the beginning of the modern genomics era about 35 years ago when the first viral gene was sequenced.1 Since then, entire microbial, plant, and animal genomes … Continue reading
by RL David Jolly For years we’ve heard evolutionists give their doomsday predictions of the eventual extinction of human men, leaving a race of just women. They’ve based their Nostradamus like prophecies on the supposed reduction in the size of … Continue reading
Your challenge today is to invent a machine that can push a wet noodle through a straw. It can’t pull it. First it has to grab the end, then push it through without breaking it. Oh, and there’s a catch; … Continue reading
DNA is the famous molecule of heredity that carries the code of life—an altogether remarkable biopolymer (polynucleotide). As expected, the more research that is conducted on the DNA molecule, the more complexity it divulges.1 Decades ago, when less was known … Continue reading
