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

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:

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
By Ken Ham As the national racism crisis continues to rage throughout the United States, Christians must be equipped to think biblically and respond with compassion, biblical truth, and the gospel. Here at Answers in Genesis, we have been sharing articles and videos on a biblical perspective on race and how we are all one blood (Acts 17:26). We are even offering, for a limited time, our 2019 conference One Race, One Blood for free on Answers.tv. (No subscription required for this particular series for a limited time.)

A recent study published in the journal Frontiers in Earth Science indicates that North America was once home to large populations of camelids (creatures such as camels, llamas, and alpacas) and antelope-like animals.1,2 Once again, we should be amazed with how God has equipped the camel—and its cousins—to dwell and thrive in many parts of the earth.3 More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, philosopher of science Paul Nelson continues sharing with host Andrew McDiarmid about pursuing intelligent design theory in a science culture committed to naturalism. Or as Nelson puts it this time, it’s about trying to communicate with scientists who are trapped in a naturalistic parabola. That parabola sets the rule and defines the boundaries for science: naturalistic answers only. And it extends to infinity, so no finite number of objections or counter-examples can force naturalistic scientists out of it. Nelson, however, offers an alternative strategy for drawing them out of the

Have Trinidadian guppies learned evasive maneuvers from Spanish bullfighters? Recent research published in the journal Current Biology1 reports how gutsy guppies confront a regular predator, the voracious pike cichlids, like a matador. They attract the attacker to a location that can be dodged from. Then, at the last instant, the guppy pivots to safety.1-3 Trinidadia… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham Due to the COVID-19 situation, our award-winning, biblical worldview magazine Answers took a brief hiatus (due to the shutdown and stay-at-home orders), but it’s back and arriving in mailboxes soon. We’re excited that the magazine can continue impacting families with biblical truth. If you haven’t subscribed yet, I encourage you to do so today—you won’t want to miss a single issue. This newest issue features the “other camel”: the llama—along with alpacas, guanacos, and vicuña, all part of the camelid kind. These creatures—living on different continents—actually confirm the Bible’s history. In this issue, you’ll also explore dark

In order for the bizarre theory of evolution to be validated, evolutionists must show how inorganic non-life organized itself into carbon-based (organic) life. They also must show how major transitions in animals occurred, including how fish became the first tetrapods. This means fish fins would need to slowly turn into feet and legs. As one secular journal said, “The evolution of fishes into tetrapods—four-legged vertebrates of which… More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham “Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them” (Psalm 111:2). As believers, we should promote the study of God’s creation, delighting in his great works. Sadly, the study of creation is often done from a secular, naturalistic perspective, not a biblical perspective that gives God the glory for what he has made. That shouldn’t be the case! That’s why I’m excited about two new science shows we started a few months ago—Unlocking Science and Unlocking Science Hands On! Unlocking Science introduces science concepts and Unlocking Science Hands On! gives instruction on

The social behavior of ants continues to amaze scientists with its complexity and efficiency of organization and design.

By Ken Ham When we think rainforests, we think tropical, sunshine (and lots of it), and frequent rains. We don’t think of frigid winds, bone-chilling temperatures, and icy seawaters. But that’s where the remains of a fossil rainforest were found—on the continent known for penguins instead of tropical parrots: Antarctica! A new study found tropical fossils, similar to the current flora in New Zealand’s South Island, in Cretaceous layers. Now, this isn’t the first time the remains of seemingly out-of-place organisms have been found on the southernmost continent. But a new study found tropical fossils, similar to the current flora

By Ken Ham I frequently meet individuals and families who are visiting the Ark Encounter and Creation Museum for the second, third, fourth, or more time. They just keep wanting to come back to dive deeper into the exhibits and see what’s new, enjoy the supplemental programs, presentations, and hands-on programs, explore the zoos, play on the playgrounds, tour the gardens, and more. But what if these families could have unlimited admission for their lifetime?
