In the first of our three articles on this news-grabbing subject, we pointed out some strange circumstances surrounding the geology of the cave systems in which Homo naledi was discovered, as well as critical mismatches in bony body parts. This second article exposes a strange lack of evolutionary dating methods. Why has lead researcher Lee Berger, who is touring the world touting these fossils, not performed even one of several standard dating methods for fossils? More… …read more Read more here: icr.org
By CMI Mice of the Sahara Desert pile up round stones in front of their burrows, making small pyramids through which the air can flow. As the morning air heats up, the rocks heat up much more slowly. As the dew point of the rapidly warming air rises, water in the air begins to condense on the cooler stones. It turns out that having round stones leaves exactly the right shaped spaces for this to take place. This is how the mice get their water. read more …read more Read more here: Creation Moments

By Ken Ham A pigment in skin called melanin is responsible for skin color and shade. This pigment is found in organelles called melanosomes inside cells. A Yale University team has found these melanosomes in a fossilized feather. Now, “because melanosomes differ by shape according to the type of melanin they produce—eumelanin, for example, can be black or brown depending on concentration, while pheomelanin is red—the researchers hypothesized that the appearance of a melanosome could be used to infer the color of the animal it belonged to.” Well, now another group of researchers “analyzed the chemical structure of melasonomes [sic]

Does saying that God designed creatures mean that they’re nothing more than mere machines? Despite protestations from prominent evolutionists, teleology (purpose) is central to understanding biology. But does this mean that organisms were designed by some external agent? There are evolutionists who agree that life is full of purpose, but that purpose comes from the very fabric of the universe itself, so that there’s no need for an external designer. Eugene Y. from Malaysia writes: Read More: Biology purpose and pantheism – creation.com
By Creation Moments Flying insects have been a huge mystery to scientists, especially those who believe in evolution. Until recently, scientists didn’t know how flying insects could fly. Wind tunnel tests on insect wings showed that their wings produce anywhere from a third to half as much lift needed for flight, depending on the species. Yet, horseflies have been clocked flying at up to 90 miles per hour! read more …read more Read more here: Creation Moments
By Ken Ham The Blaze article stated: Atheist biologist Richard Dawkins decried the fact that some Republican presidential candidates are creationists, calling it “disgraceful” and proclaiming that evolution is a “fact” that “you can not seriously disbelieve” . . . Dawkins repeatedly waded into controversial territory throughout the exchange, with Colmes at one point asking if the biologist believes that religious people are “mentally ill.” “It’s hard to use the word ‘mentally ill’ when there are so many of them,” Dawkins responded. “If they believed what they did and they were the only one they would undoubtedly be called mentally

By Ken Ham Sometimes I see things in the news that just make me shake my head. I’m often reminded of this verse about those who ignore God’s clear witness in creation: “Professing to be wise, they became fools” (Romans 1:22). Well, I was most recently reminded of this in relation to an article titled, “Fossil could settle the debate over whether early birds really did fly.” This article is reporting on a study published in Scientific Reports that showed that supposed “early” birds flew just like modern ones. Wow! Now that’s a revelation! This study revolved around part of

By CMI Here on our Creation Moments program we frequently report on fossil finds that show that rocks don’t take millions of years to form. We feature many of these, rather than just one example, in the hope that it will become common knowledge that it is not unusual for rocks to form rapidly. read more …read more Read more here: Creation Moments

By Ken Ham Many evolutionary scientists are desperate to answer the question “Are we alone in the universe?” with a resounding “No!” But so far all their research has not pointed to the possibility of any extraterrestrial life. Of course, this lack of life beyond Earth is exactly what we would expect in a biblical worldview. God created Earth to be inhabited (Isaiah 45:18), and Earth is the center of His attention. It’s where He sent His one and only Son to die for the salvation of Adam’s descendants (John 3:16). So Earth isn’t just one among many planets—it’s special

Recent claims of a transitional species named Homo naledi have the anthropologic world in an uproar. The new fossil “species” is said to be a human-like ancestor that neatly fills the gap between the Australopithecus and our own genus Homo. This seemingly fits the human evolution story promulgated since the 19th century, but what are these bones really? More… …read more Read more here: icr.org
By Multimedia On this episode of ID the Future, hear about a study from scientists at Yale that found that “human brain development is a symphony in three movements.” The human brain develops through distinct patterns in gene activity at different stages in the life span, which these researchers have likened to the choreography of an orchestra or ballet.

By Ken Ham Today I want to give you a unique opportunity—to take you behind the scenes at the life-size Ark construction site in Williamstown, Kentucky. For safety reasons and because we can’t interrupt construction, visitors will not be allowed at the construction site until we open the facility to the public. However, we can take you to the site via video. This short video gives you a bit of a look behind the scenes, and you will hear from our construction superintendent as he explains some of the things that will be happening at the site in the next
