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

Gonzalez shows how the book’s thesis — that conditions for life and scientific discovery meet on earth to a fine-tuned degree that strongly points toward design — has been confirmed multiple times.

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! Dr. Gabriela Haynes, a paleontologist who works with our research department, analyzed the scientific paper, published in the journal Nature. Dr. Haynes said when she

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

By Ken Ham The more we learn about what God has created, the more in awe of our Creator we should be. Just when we think we understand something, a new study shows we really didn’t know as much as we think we did. In fact, as finite beings we know hardly anything about creation compared to what there is to know. The layers of complexity in God’s creation are simply astounding! And that was highlighted in a new study that showed it’s not just our nose that contains olfactory receptors (the protein responsible for detecting smells)—it’s also our tongue.
