By Michael J. Behe On this episode of ID the Future, biochemist Michael Behe and host Andrew McDiarmid discuss the anti-malarial drug chloroquine, now being investigated as a treatment for COVID-19, and how it may work on the cellular level against the coronavirus. The same drug was featured in Behe’s 2007 book The Edge of Evolution, as part of his demonstration that evolution has strict limits: It can do adaptive work for organisms with single mutations, but if just two coordinated mutations are required at once, evolution’s random processes have great difficulty even with natural selection helping them along.

Another major oil discovery in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico has been recently announced.1 Equinor, a Norwegian-based oil company, and partners Progress Resources USA Ltd. and Repsol E&P USA Inc. made the proclamation last week. This is another well that appears to have found mysterious sands, such as the Whopper Sand found previously in the deep waters of the Gulf.2 Equinor used the drilling ship … More… …read more Source: icr.org
Recently, a team of geochemists from Belgium reported that days might have been 30 minutes shorter in the Late Cretaceous compared to today, giving 372 days in a year.1 They published their results in Paleoceanography and Paleoclimatology, basing their conclusions on growth patterns in an extinct bivalve called a rudist clam. But is it really true that the Earth had 372 days each year in the past? Many secular s… More… …read more Source: icr.org
In today’s change-filled world, God is ubiquitously displaying His creativity to provide for our most important needs. God’s creative providence fulfills what we need to solve the challenging problems of daily living. Something similar is exhibited in the world of nature. Creatures are built with traits that adapt to the situations that surround them. The Eurasian Woodcock (Scolopax rusticola) looks like a skin… More… …read more Source: icr.org

A recent report in the journal Science mixed detailed archaeological finds with stories about human origins. As is typical, age assignments for fossils fit evolutionary time instead of the Bible’s much shorter timeline of thousands, not millions, of years. But the age-dating exercises revealed more about what these scientists believe about the past than what the rocks and fossils themselves reveal. A cave on the Port… More… …read more Source: icr.org
Pterosaurs were amazing flying reptiles that came in all shapes and sizes.1 Not surprisingly, when these bizarre creatures are found in the fossil record they are 100% flying reptiles. Some achieve the size of a fighter jet, such as Quetzalcoatlus discovered in Texas or Hatzegopteryx in Romania. Paleobiologists have recently discovered a new pterosaur (Afrotapejara zouhrii) in Africa belonging to a group call… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham Bryan Osborne is one of our busy, in-demand speakers—he travels around the US and internationally speaking at churches, conferences, and other venues about the truth of God’s Word and biblical authority.

Nowadays, many folks (including some with leashed dogs) are taking walks in their neighborhoods, keeping six feet away from other walkers who are not family members (“social distancing”). While recently walking on sidewalks in my neighborhood with my wife, I observed Canada geese, rabbits, mallards, mourning doves, and a couple of roadrunners. Roadrunners are speedy pest-control neighbors, limiting local snake populatio… More… …read more Source: icr.org

New concerns have surfaced this week about melting ice from within the deepest point on the continents.1 Worry over the rapid melting of the ice-filled Denman Canyon has sparked more environmental concern over climate change.

Evolutionists are celebrating the discovery of what they claim is a small dinosaur skull trapped in Burmese amber.1 Oculudentavis khaungraae is declared to be a tiny Mesozoic dinosaur that is 99 million years old. Yet, the physical traits point to it being 100% bird. Lars Schmitz, associate professor of biology, stated, “Its unique anatomical features point to one of the smallest and most ancient birds eve… More… …read more Source: icr.org
Last month, the ICR Discovery Center hosted “Origins: Re-examining the Evidence,” a special event featuring three of ICR’s scientists—experts in geology, fossils and human origins, and genetics.

A recent study has ruled out a possible candidate for dark matter, the mysterious invisible “stuff” said to comprise 85% of the matter in our universe.1,2 The Big Bang model needs dark matter for a number of reasons. So, this is bad news for the Big Bang model. Most secular cosmologists believe in dark matter. Some biblical creationists also think dark matter exists,3 but others (including me) are … More… …read more Source: icr.org
It’s not right to bluff about something you don’t have.1 Yet some government bureaucrats tried to gain control of over 100,000 acres of land, basing their entitlement grab upon claims that jaguars need the land—but the jaguars probably aren’t even there.2 It began with the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (a division of the Department of the Interior) asserting that the Endangered Speci… More… …read more Source: icr.org

Neanderthals are classified by evolutionists as archaic humans given that both their DNA and bones are essentially human.

By Ken Ham Acorn flour, bread made from cattail roots, and water lily tubers—do these sound appetizing? Well, maybe not to us, but according to a new study, ancient humans ate these foods and more. This study was exploring the diets of ancient man and they revealed a surprise (at least to those who think with an evolutionary worldview, anyway): past humans didn’t just eat meat—they ate plants, including plants they cooked or even ground into flour. This finding may be surprising to evolutionists, but it’s certainly not to those who start with God’s Word. It sounds normal for humans
