By Ken Ham An article appeared recently in the Mirror, a UK news site, featuring an interview with Jane Goodall, the famous evolutionary primatologist who studied chimpanzees in Tanzania. Dr. Goodall was discussing her early days working with wild chimps. She shares that she originally thought chimps were nice, only to later learn they can “rip your face off.” Are We Evil Because of Our Ape-like Ancestors? Apparently, the chimpanzees were so dangerous that once Dr. Goodall had a baby, the baby had to live in a cage so the chimps wouldn’t steal him and kill him. Eventually she watched

By Ken Ham Apparently spending time in outer space can actually lead to long-term changes in your DNA. A fascinating recent study on the world’s only identical twin astronauts, Scott and Mark Kelly, showed that spending nearly a year on the International Space Station (ISS) changes how your genes are expressed. Scott went to the ISS for 340 days while his retired, identical twin brother, Mark, stayed here on earth. When Scott returned, researchers compared his DNA to his brother’s. Identical twins have virtually identical DNA (though mutations that accumulate during your lifetime mean their DNA isn’t 100% identical), so

By Sarah Chaffee Scott Turner is a biologist and physiologist, a professor at State University of New York College of Environmental Sciences and Forestry and visiting professor at Cambridge. In this episode, Rob Crowther interviews him about his new book Purpose and Desire: What Makes Something Alive and Why Modern Darwinism Has Failed To Explain It. Turner argues that modern Darwinism has reached a scientific dead end, unable to tell us what life is, treats many of its features — including purpose and desire — virtually as illusions. There’s a better way to view life, says Turner. Your browser does

By Dr. Danny R. Faulkner Famed British astrophysicist Stephen Hawking died today. Interestingly, Albert Einstein was born on the same date in 1879.

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, Dr. Jay Richards talks with John Lennox about his book God and Stephen Hawking: Whose Design Is It Anyway? In this book, Prof. Lennox counters Stephen Hawking’s argument in The Grand Design that “the universe can and will create itself from nothing.” Is philosophy dead, as Hawking claims? Is the so-called M-theory the “only viable candidate” for a complete ‘theory of everything’? Tune in and find out!

By Ken Ham This October 9–11 we’re taking back the Bible’s clarity with our annual Answers for Pastors and Christian Leaders conference (which is actually open for anyone to attend). Our 2018 theme here at AiG has been “Taking Back the Bible’s Clarity” (based on 1 Corinthians 14:8) because we’re concerned about a philosophy we’re seeing grow in popularity within many seminaries and which is infiltrating the church. It’s this idea that the Bible’s basic message isn’t understandable without the help of professional scholars and academics, many of whom sadly compromise God’s Word in Genesis. <img src="https://assets.answersingenesis.org/img/outreach/event-images/john-macarthur.jpg" alt="Dr. John …read

A recent opinion piece posted on the Chemistry World website1 notes that Richard Dawkins’ 1976 book The Selfish Gene deeply motivated a generation of biologists to adopt a gene-centered framework to explain why biological phenomena seem to operate for specific purposes. The book’s persuasion notwithstanding, the article notes ongoing challenges to the validity of Dawkins’ “selfish gene metaphor.” … More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Sarah Chaffee On this episode of ID the Future, we explore two topics. Sarah Chaffee analyzes New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof’s viewpoints on intellectual diversity. Kristof makes a compelling case for hiring faculty with varying political and religious viewpoints, but stops short when it comes to those skeptical of evolution. Then, David Klinghoffer discusses the “anti-science” label – and how it’s now used by those on both sides of disagreements on scientific issues.

By Creation Moments One of the fundamental lessons we learn from Scripture is that there is only one God. There are, however, a lot of false gods. In biblical times, these would often have been idols of wood, stone, or metal. But there are idols all around us today which demand our worship. These could be anything that people have put in the place of God. read more …read more Source: Creation Moments

Astronomers recently detected an enormous but short-lived increase in radiation from the nearby star Proxima Centauri.1,2 This radiation burst, known as a flare, caused the star to become a thousand times brighter for ten seconds. Our sun also has flares, but those flares are much smaller. At the time of its peak brightness, the Proxima Centauri flare was ten times brighter (in the measured wavelengths) than even the largest flares emi… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Creation Moments The Ark was made of wood, so it had to be waterproofed. The most suitable type of waterproofing would be a hydrophobic substance, such as oil or grease. So it was coated inside and out with pitch. But what actually is pitch? In modern parlance, this refers to an oil fraction. But here some people raise a problem. If pitch is an oil fraction, then do we not assume that oil was produced during the Flood? read more …read more Source: Creation Moments

By Ken Ham According to a recent study, there’s been a minor tweak in the evolutionary story of the early evolution of life. Photosynthesis, the process by which plants, algae, and some microbes produce oxygen, might have evolved a billion years earlier than previously thought, and faster too. Linear calculations put the origin of photosynthesis older than the earth itself! Yep, just a minor tweak! The original evolutionary story went this way: cyanobacteria were the first life to produce oxygen. Since there was no oxygen before these microbes started making it, oxygen wasn’t available until about 2.7 billion years ago,
