By Ken Ham Due to their evolutionary assumptions, evolutionists believe so-called “early” animals are simple. One such animal is the tube anemone. Because they live slow, long, predictable lifestyles, it was assumed that they were simple. But new research shows their mitochondrial DNA is anything but simple. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA, located in the mitochondria of the cell and not the nucleus) is usually found in a ring shape, but in the tube anemone, it’s found in linear fragments. And the tube anemone now holds the record for the largest mitochondrial genome of any animal, with 81,000 base pairs. In comparison,

By Ken Ham Here at Answers in Genesis, we appreciate our veterans and want to thank all those who have served to defend this great nation. As a gesture of our appreciation, we’re offering all US veterans free admission to both the Ark Encounter and the Creation Museum on Memorial Day, Monday, May 27, 2019. Veterans also enjoy free admission on Independence Day (July 4) and Veterans Day (November 11). But if you can’t make it one of those days, we always extend a 20% discount to retired members of the armed forces and veterans on their ticket purchase at

Using data obtained from the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers have confirmed a contradiction between two different estimates of the Hubble constant—an extremely important number in cosmology.1 Secular scientists claim the universe is expanding as a result of a “Big Bang” 13-14 billion years ago. The inference of an expanding universe is based on the fact that the light spectra from dist… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham Scripture tells us God’s original creation was “very good” (Genesis 1:31), so why do we see so many creatures with toxins, venoms, and poisons seemingly designed to harm and kill? Get answers to that question, and many more, in the latest issue of our Lethal lizards is the cover story for this latest issue, but you’ll also discover three ways evolution violates basic science, the design of fennec foxes, and why the water in your lungs is actually a good thing and part of God’s marvellous design.

By Ken Ham Ideas regarding climate change and other environmental concerns are constantly in the news. Now, as Christians, we have a reason to care for the earth—God has set us as stewards and we need to care for the planet, just as he does. But that doesn’t mean we should just indiscriminately buy into every alarmist and dire claim made by radical environmentalists. And a recent article highlights one of the reasons why—many of the “gloomy predictions” of the past just haven’t come to pass. This article starts by saying we should have been thankful this Earth Day (April

By Ken Ham A new study, summarized in a lengthy National Geographic article, looked at the genome of over 200 fossil horses, as well as domesticated horses and the Przewalski’s horse, a rare wild horse in Mongolia. The National Geographic headline declared, “Speedy horses evolved only recently, says landmark equine study.” But what they were really looking at was not evolution—it was artificial selection! The study compared genetic diversity between fossil horses and living ones, including our domesticated varieties (of which there are around 600, all belonging to the same species). And what they found was that genetic diversity is

On April 13, 2029, a 370-meter wide asteroid formally known as 99942 Apophis will pass by Earth at a distance of about 19,000 miles. While 19,000 miles sounds like a long way away, but in astronomical terms it’s the equivalent of having a bullet whiz by your ear. There are man-made satellites that orbit farther from Earth. Even scarier, it was initially believed there was a slight chance Apophis could strike the Earth in 2036. That’s why, when the asteroid and its trajectory was discovered in 2004, scientists named it after the Egyptian god of chaos who, by

By Marcos Eberlin On this episode of ID the Future, biologist Jonathan Wells speaks again with distinguished Brazilian scientist Marcos Eberlin about Eberlin’s new book Foresight: How the Chemistry of Life Reveals Planning and Purpose. A world leader in the field of mass spectrometry, Eberlin explains how chemistry reveals foresight in the design of molecules and chemical systems. To the untrained eye water looks like a simple clear liquid. To the chemist it has 74 unique, even “weird” properties essential for life. And lightning seems purely destructive, but it, too, is essential for life. As Eberlin argues, both of these

By Marcos Eberlin On this episode of ID the Future, Jonathan Wells speaks with distinguished Brazilian chemist Marcos Eberlin about Eberlin’s new book Foresight: How the Chemistry of Life Reveals Planning and Purpose. Eberlin is a world leader in the field of mass spectrometry, and the book is endorsed by three Nobel laureates. In this first of two conversations, Eberlin speaks to the scientist’s duty to follow the evidence where it leads, and explains how the incredible problem-solving engineering involved in just one structure, the cell membrane, must lead one to the conclusion that a mind planned it in advance.

It is God-breathed. And so, this is God who is using different people to write down for us what we need to know. It’s the foundation of all of

By Ken Ham Headlines around the world are announcing the discovery of a new species of “bat-wing dinosaur” uncovered in China. Researchers are dating this find at 163 million years old. They claim this new species, Ambopteryx longibrachium, had a membranous wing, similar to bats, and that it was a non-avian theropod (read: dinosaur) that represents a dead-end in the evolution of flight. But what was this creature? Be Careful When Reading Popular News Reports!

By Günter Bechly On this episode of ID the Future, Andrew McDiarmid interviews paleontologist Günter Bechly about the latest hominin fossil that’s once again “rewriting human evolutionary history.” News of the find reached the media early this month. Dubbed homo luzonensis due to discovery on the Philippine island of Luzon, it poses yet another challenge to neo-Darwinian theory. A fossil like this one should have been found in Africa, not the Philippines. It should have been a lot older than it is, and it confuses the human evolutionary tree even more than before. “Darwinian theory predicts there should be one
