What if new species could appear in just a few thousand years? A recent study reports that many new plankton species showed up quickly after the supposed Chicxulub impact—a large asteroid event believed to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. Some of the plankton appeared in less than 2,000 years.1 The study claims this shows fast evolution. But the evidence fits better with rapid change within created kinds, not th... More...
A small and interesting plant-eating reptile called Lystrosaurus is in the news recently because it was found to have laid eggs (as reptiles do). So what’s interesting about that? Well, conventional scientists claim Lystrosaurus is a 250-million-year-old mammal ancestor called a synapsid.1 They see this discovery as an exciting evolutionary development in the process of reptiles evolving into mammals. But a cl... More...
New species are often presented as proof that life is evolving. But they instead show how life was designed to diversify from the start. A recent deep-sea study reports 24 new amphipod species and even proposes a new “superfamily.”1 Conventional scientists say this discovery adds a new branch to the tree of life. Yet the real issue with this is not naming new groups—it is explaining the species’ origin. Th... More...
Amazing tiny chloroplasts found within equally incredible plant cells continue to reveal the detailed workmanship of the Creator who created plants on Day 4 of creation.1–3 But evolutionary theory removes God: “Every plant cell is the product of a biological merger billions of years ago.”4
Conventional scientists claim that chloroplasts, “key structures in [plant cells] and algae that... More...
A small fossil reptile with strange and intricate skin outgrowths has been discovered that is forcing evolutionists to once again reexamine their understanding of reptile-to-bird, scale-to-feather evolution.1 Allegedly 247 million years old, Mirasaura grauvogeli isn’t a dinosaur but a diapsid—an amniote (mammal, bird, or reptile) in which the skull has two pairs of temporal openings. It was discovered in 2019 i... More...
It is generally assumed by the vast majority of conventional scientists that an asteroid caused the extinction of 75% of all species on Earth, including the dinosaurs, at the K-Pg (Cretaceous-Paleogene) Boundary.1 These extinctions even extended into the marine realm, killing off the ammonites, an animal similar to today’s chambered nautilus. However, new research by an international team of conventional paleontologists, le... More...
In the beginning, God created plants and animals to multiply and fill the earth (Genesis 1:11–13, 20–25). So, when areas are devastated, living things are engineered with the innate ability to rebound and recolonize. This was seen in the rapid recovery of life at Mount St. Helens after the cataclysmic volcanic eruption of May 18, 1980.1 But conventional scientists seem t... More...
Some of the oldest living trees on Earth are in the temperate rainforests of the Chilean Coast Range. Second only to the bristlecone pine in age, these endangered, slow-growing alerce trees (Fitzroya cupressoides) shelter an impressive assortment of hidden fungal life underground.1 In fact, a recent study investigates how these trees and fungi support one another.2
Mycorrhizal fungal communities are f... More...
What if a simple sea sponge could spark a debate about the origin of animal life? A recent study suggests that some of Earth’s earliest animals were sponge-like creatures due to chemical traces found in ancient rocks.1 Researchers discovered unusual sterane molecules in marine sediments. Steranes are chemical traces that form when sterols—lipid molecules that help strengthen cell membranes—break down over time. ... More...
