Darwin’s theory of evolution makes several predictions about adaptation. But recent genetic findings raise questions about the accuracy of evolutionary theory, since the findings point toward different types of engineered adaptability. The latest challenges to Darwin’s theory, published in March 2020, come from the fascinating insects known as turtle ants. More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham On March 9, Canadian Justice Minister, David Lametti, introduced Bill C-8 to Parliament, which would add five new crimes to the nation’s Criminal Code. This bill, labeled as the “conversion therapy” bill, would make it illegal to do any of the following: Cause a person to undergo conversion therapy against the person’s will; Cause a child (anyone under 18) to undergo conversion therapy; Do anything for the purpose of removing a child from Canada with the intention that the child undergo conversion therapy outside Canada; Advertise an offer to provide conversion therapy; or Receive a financial or

It’s mole season. Moles get active in springtime, especially during March and April. Moles are mostly hidden out of plain sight, but they are actually important members of God’s creation. Many people dislike moles, due to how the creatures wrinkle lawn surfaces, but the ecological benefits usually outweigh such minor yard-care nuisances. Moles are known for digging. But how do they dig? More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham We are pleased to announce several new Facebook Live programs while our Creation Museum and Ark Encounter are temporarily closed due to the current COVID-19 (coronavirus) situation. It’s a unique, new form of outreach that our attractions will be offering over the coming days. 10 A.M. As I teased on Answers News yesterday, Roger Patterson of our staff will be doing some fascinating science experiments for kids (and adults, too) Monday through Friday at 10 a.m. (ET). This Facebook Live program will be a great opportunity for children, homeschool families, and “stuck at home” families to learn

Evolutionary scientists announced the discovery of what they claim are the oldest green-algae fossils—which look remarkably like modern, living seaweeds. The millimeter-sized, multicellular plant fossils were found in China in rocks claimed to be over one billion years old.1 A trio of paleontologists from Virginia Tech, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Nanjing and University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, B… More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham In a recent news release from North Carolina State University (NCSU), the first-ever report of dinosaur cartilage cells having been discovered was announced. Several bones, including juvenile skull bones from the herbivorous duck-billed dinosaur Hypacrosaurus, were found in the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) Two Medicine Formation of northern Montana, conventionally dated between 83–72 million years ago. In many juvenile animals, and in humans (up to late teens or early twenties), parts of the skull contain cartilage, which eventually calcifies and fuses into the bone. In many juvenile animals, and in humans (up to late teens or early twenties),

By Ken Ham A recent news item caught my eye. It stated that the soldiers of Turtle ants show that evolution can go in reverse. This might seem like a startling announcement until you look closely at what they observed and reported. The researchers were somewhat surprised to learn that this size variation almost perfectly correlates to the width of the tunnels these ants live in. There are over 100 species of Turtle ants of the genus Cephalotes. They mostly live in the trees of tropical areas all over the world. Ten of these species have no soldier ants (basically

By Ken Ham A recent news item from the Seattle Times mentioned the passing of a comprehensive new sex-education bill which would enact a new K-12 curriculum beginning in the 2022–2023 school year. The bill, which had already passed the Washington State Senate, also passed by a vote of 56–40 in the State house, but with the House’s modifications that will need to go back to the Senate. It is expected that Governor Jay Inslee will sign the bill into law when it reaches his desk. This new curriculum will actually be phased in a year earlier in the 2021–2022

By Michael J. Behe On this episode of ID the Future, host Andrew McDiarmid and biochemist Michael Behe discuss the pandemic coronavirus known as COVID-19. The two move through a series of questions, some straightforward, others more speculative. What is a virus and where did this one come from? Why is it so much worse than other coronavirus strains? What sort of evolution is involved here? Does the human species have any ancient, shared genetic relationship with viruses? And why are there viruses in the first place?

By Kirk Durston On this episode of ID the Future, Kirk Durston, a biophysicist focused on identifying high-information-density parts of proteins, completes a three-part series on three categories of science: experimental, inferential, and fantasy science. Fantasy science makes inferential leaps so huge that virtually none of it is testable, either by the standards of experimental science or by those of the historical sciences, which reason to the best explanation by process of elimination. One example of fantasy science, according to Durston, is the multiverse. As he insists, an imaginative story largely untethered from evidence and testing but told using math

By Ken Ham Do you feel like we’re living in uncharted territory? Some people are fearful right now. Others are panicking. Some think the world is coming to an end. we have to navigate through circumstances that, from a human perspective, can be stressful, emotionally draining, and even devastating at times. But I’m a Christian. What does that mean in times like these? Should I be panicking or fearful? It’s true, we have to live in this fallen world with the consequences of sin and the curse.

Astronomers have discovered a Jupiter-sized extrasolar planet (exoplanet) orbiting so close to its host star that it is “perilously close” to the distance where it can be torn apart by gravitational forces.1-3 Astronomers call these planets “hot Jupiters” because they are rather large planets with masses comparable to that of Jupiter, and their nearness to their host stars causes them to … More… …read more Source: icr.org
