And the broad waters are frozen.
Also with moisture He saturates the thick clouds;
He scatters His bright clouds."

Southwestern Wyoming contains one of the most unique fossil sites in the world—Fossil Butte National Monument. Located about 11 miles west of Kemmerer, it was established as a national monument on October 23, 1972.1 The park encompasses about 13 square miles and contains several buttes, or flat-topped hills. These landforms expose a rock layer known as the Green River Formation (GRF) and its diverse fossil assemblage, often called a Lagerstätte.2 The GRF is best known for its fish fossils, but it includes many other fossil types as well. Most of these fossils are found in the Fossil Butte Member, a section

Both before and after the Flood, the Bible attests that centuries-long life spans were normal. Skeptics scoff at these great ages, and even some Christians say we simply cannot take them at face value.1 Is there evidence for this extreme longevity?

Beavers shouldn’t talk to humans. That obvious fact was highlighted in the movie adaptation of C. S. Lewis’ classic fantasy The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.1 Fairly early in the film, the four Pevensie siblings meet a beaver that talks to them. Oldest brother Peter says the beaver claims to know a certain faun. Oldest sister Susan replies, “He’s a beaver! He shouldn’t be saying anything!” If something doesn’t make sense—like a talking beaver—that might indicate that a story is just fiction. And when the tale told is an evolutionary story, it doesn’t make sense because it’s just science fiction.

In a previous article, I explained how epigenetic mechanisms regulate the structure and function of DNA.1 Specifically, I showed how small molecules can be attached to the DNA itself or added to the histone proteins that the DNA is packaged with. These are known as DNA methylation or histone modifications, respectively. The modifications are monitored and performed dynamically according to the needs of the cell and adaptively in response to environmental changes. Furthermore, these epigenetic modifications can be heritable to give the organism’s offspring an adaptive advantage. Read More: Small Heritable RNAs Pack a Big Adaptive Punch | The Institute for

The Institute for Creation Research had a fantastic year advancing creation science in 2023! It’s my joy to continue the tradition of our founder, Dr. Henry M. Morris, in using the first Acts & Facts 2024 issue to recount ICR’s major activities and blessings from the past year. I trust you’ll be excited to see the hand of the Lord Jesus empowering our progress. All credit belongs to Him, and together we can thank Him for His abiding presence and the many good things He’s done. A year ago, I discussed the new ICR logo, Digital Media department, construction for the ICR

Can the creation message be used as an apologetic tool? Or is it an unimportant piece of the Bible in the grand scheme of things? Does it have value when it comes to the Gospel? Hosts Trey and Lauren are joined by Dr. Mark Stengler Sr. and Mark Stengler Jr. to discuss these questions and more in episode 20 of Creation.Live.

DNA sequencing technologies have been progressing rapidly over the past several decades and now finally afford the opportunity to analyze mammalian chromosomes from end to end. In the past, many regions of human and ape genomes have been very difficult to fully decipher because older DNA sequencing technologies were limited to obtaining very short snippets of DNA—impairing their utility to fully decode long, complex, and repetitive DN...
