Proof The Bible Is True

A recent study, from the University of Exeter in England, provides insight into how and why European pine martens need each other—but also like to keep their distance from each other. The research also covered how the presence of pine martens affects the behavior of local squirrels.1-3 European pine martens are weasel-sized, smaller than many domestic cats, and move about in woodlands. Many have tracked ranges that… More… …read more Source: icr.org     

Wandering albatrosses have the largest wingspan of any living bird, so they live much of life soaring above the oceans. With their wings—and a lot of winds—it is no wonder that their use of wind-power would be studied by scientists, as a recent report illustrates.1,2 And, because albatross males are bigger, they need more wind. A new study of albatrosses has found that wind … More… …read more Source: icr.org

Chinese researchers recently reported on venomous toxins of the giant jellyfish. They revealed that this aquatic creature mixes a “cocktail” of toxins to produce stinging agony and sometimes death unto its victims.1,2 Jellyfish stings are a major threat to human beings in coastal areas of the world. Each year, hundreds of thousands of victims are stung by venomous jellyfish…. More… …read more Source: icr.org     

By Ken Ham Families visiting the Creation Museum between now and July 18 are in for a special treat! Bob Jones University’s Science Ambassador and chemist Dr. George Matzko, together with his wife, Darlene, is presenting interactive science demonstrations for the whole family. You’ll discover incredible facts about water, electrons, and air that will point you to the one who made them all—our Creator God. You’ll never look at a glass of water or think about air or electricity the same way again! <img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org//img/blogs/ken-ham/2020/07/matzco-science-presentation5.jpg" alt="Dr. George …read more Source: Ken Ham AIG

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, biochemist Michael Behe reviews the Long Term Evolution Experiment at Michigan State, where Richard Lenki’s team was initially excited to see what they thought was a new species forming in their flasks of E. coli. As Behe has written at Evolution News, one flask of E. coli in Lenski’s experiment evolved the ability to metabolize (“eat”) citrate in the presence of oxygen. But along with it came multiple mutations breaking genes, degrading genetic information, and ultimately increasing the bacteria’s death rates. It all goes to support Behe’s thesis in Darwin [More]

Dolphins—like other cetaceans such as whales, wholphins, and porpoises—are highly intelligent marine mammals, capable of astonishing feats. A recent University of Leeds study, led by Sonja Wild, adds to what we humans have learned about what and how dolphins learn.1,2 Dolphins catch fish as prey by a mix of programmed instincts and learning.3,4 One example of learned fish-catching be… More… …read more Source: icr.org     

By Ken Ham What would it have been like to watch Noah build the ark, see the animals arrive as guided by God’s divine command, or experience the first drops of water as the flood began? Well, you can travel through time and experience it for yourself with our virtual reality experience, Truth Traveler, coming to the Ark Encounter by mid-July. This VR experience is going to be like no other! The quality is like anything you’d expect from Disney or Universal Studios, but the message is very different! Not only does Truth Traveler emphasize the historicity of the flood [More]

A study led by Oxford University researchers was recently published confirming that Neanderthals and humans were very genetically similar and interfertile. They were even closer than polar and brown bears are to each other, which are known to mate and produce viable offspring in the wild quite easily.1 Along with a plethora of previous DNA studies, this research further confirms that Neanderthals were an ancient people group of the hum… More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham Most people are familiar with the “group shaming” concept of “cancel culture.” It’s defined as “the popular practice of withdrawing support for (i.e., canceling) public figures and companies after they have done or said something considered objectionable or offensive.” Well, as people “cancel” celebrities and organizations for various things, including supposed racist statements, why haven’t they “cancelled” Charles Darwin? A recent opinion piece by Peter Heck on the news site Disrn made this very argument—one I’ve been making in presentations and social media posts for a long time. Heck writes, Even by the most generous of measures, [More]

A pair of new studies found that some dinosaurs, and possibly some marine reptiles, laid squishy eggs. One study discovered that many dinosaurs, like turtles and snakes, laid soft leather-like eggs—not hard-shelled eggs like most birds.1 A second study found a massive leathery egg about the size of a football in Cretaceous sediments in Antarctica.2 However, they think it was from a marine reptile and not a dinosaur.More… …read more Source: icr.org     

Is it a safe and healthy practice to build using lots of timber, or not? Some French and Norwegian policy-makers say yes, while some British policy-makers disagree.1 The French support their enthusiasm for constructing buildings with lots of wood, assuming that doing so somehow helps save the planet from manmade global warming. They argue that “timber construction … [helps] trees lock up climate-heating carb… More… …read more Source: icr.org     

By Ken Ham For hundreds of years, we’ve classified organisms according to the system developed by Carl Linnaeus. Organisms fall into various kingdoms, phyla, classes, orders, families, genera, and species. It’s a time-honored method of categorizing what God has made. But some scientists are trying to change this. As you can see, this new system of classification is entirely based on the evolutionary tree of life and the idea that all life had a common ancestor. As one popular science article begins, “Move over, Linnaeus: There’s a new way of naming organisms.” This new system is known as the PhyloCode [More]

By Ken Ham Our head of horticulture at the Ark Encounter told my wife, Mally, and me that the large firecracker plant (Vermillionaire Cuphea) was the best plant to attract hummingbirds, so my wife put one on our deck. It didn’t take long. While I was sitting on the deck, a beautiful female ruby-throated hummingbird—the only breeding hummingbird species in eastern North America—came up to the plant and I was able to snap a couple of photos with my smartphone. Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created …read more Source: [More]

Once again, a scientific study shows how “farmed” or ranched creatures live better if their domesticated context resembles their natural habitat.1 According to a recent study published in Aquaculture Reports, confined fish at Brazilian farms raising Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), fared better if they had an assortment of shelter-like structures and/or artificial plants.2,3 As a fish that … More… …read more Source: icr.org     

As June transitions into July, it’s time for fruit harvesting—including apples, peaches, pears, and cherries. Notice how fruit phenology (seasonal life cycles) is linked to the timing of agricultural harvesting. As peach thinning continues, the first fruits are ready to be harvested; sweet cherries in mid-June and sour cherries in late June or early July. July also brings ripe plums, t… More… …read more Source: icr.org     

A complex metabolic process called Chaperone-Mediated-Autophagy (CMA) was thought to be a recent evolutionary development in land vertebrates as it was only previously documented in mammals and birds. Now it has been found to be fully operational in fish—once again demonstrating that a lack of human knowledge is not evidence for evolution.1 Autophagy is an amazingly complex and ingenious process in which cells are … More… …read more Source: icr.org
