There are good reasons for believing that the survival of complex species is threatened by genetic entropy. The same may not be true of simpler species like bacteria, however. Read More
How would you produce a useful sound if you could not hear it? A marvellous moth has been designed to do just that! Read More
A new study has revealed what scientists have long suspected but have never been able to observe: The tips of tree leaves shimmer as a thunderstorm passes overhead. Read More
What do you picture when you think of the first primates? Conventional scientists have long proposed warm forests, thick vines, and tropical heat as defining factors for the home of these creatures. A recent study challenges that theory. Researchers now say that some primates may have lived in cold, dry parts of North America instead. Although this may change ideas about where primates once lived, it doesn’t show that prim… Read More
What these researchers observed wasn’t evolution—it was adaptation and speciation within a kind because of already existing genetic information. Read More
Did the Chicxulub impact cause iridium layers or wipe out the dinosaurs, or are there problems with this idea, or did human hunting or the Ice Age kill them? Read More
Meet a marine bacterium that has seven motors bundled into one, with interlocking fibrils acting as gears. This germ can swim 10 times faster than most! Read More
Could life’s instructions exist without ever being made? This question raises what is called a bootstrap problem. It describes information that is copied and passed on even though it has no first source. A recent RNA study shows why this remains a key problem for ideas about the origin of life. Modern cells store instructions in DNA. Proteins help read, copy, and repair those instructions. Read More
New Scientist published an article claiming that tiny specks in our cells called coacervates or condensates could hold clues to the origin of life.1 The writer admitted: “Minuscule though they are, they are essential to our survival.” Will Brooks, CMI supporter in the UK, wrote a letter to New Scientist, which New Scientist did not publish (surprise!), but which we now publish here: Read More
Our backwardly-wired’ retina is an ideal structure to optimize color vision. Read More
A recent article in The Economist highlighted boutique IVF clinics that allow parents to screen their embryos for IQ, height, and eye color.
Amino acids found on a meteorite in New Jersey have been hyped as relevant to the origin of life, but what was found could never help life arise.\ Read More
Both evolutionists and creationists are claiming the Glasswing Butterfly as their own. Who’s right? Read More
Why does Wallacea remain one of biogeography’s greatest mysteries? Explore the marsupial migration puzzle, Wallace’s Line, Australia’s unique fauna, and a creationist log-mat dispersal explanation. Read More
The Psalmist wrote that the birds of the air “sing among the branches” (Psalm 104:12). Just how well they can sing is becoming increasingly apparent to researchers. Read More
Bumblebees got rhythm!
Rhythm is the “movement, fluctuation, or variation marked by the regular recurrence or natural flow of related elements.”1 People have the ability to dance and sing. Since grade school, we have been taught to recognize rhythm that underpins dance, speech, and music.
But zoologists have found that some birds and mammals can also perceive abstract rhythm (such as the ultrason... More...
Tardigrades could fit through the eye of a needle, yet they may have a ginormous impact on modern medicine.
Evolutionary theory adjudges jellyfish to be ‘primitive’. But a right judgment of the evidence impels a very different conclusion. Read More
Tropical rainforests reveal extraordinary ecological complexity, cooperation, and design. Does their intricate structure point more convincingly to purposeful creation than evolution by chance? Read More
How studying the influenza virus gives clues about natural selection. Read More
In an effort to discover when our larger brains supposedly evolved, a study looked at ape and human skulls to see if ancient human infants were as helpless as today’s.
Based on previous evolutionary hypotheses, many more mutations are beneficial than previously thought.
The opossum of the Americas confounds ‘just-so’ stories to explain Australia’s weird mammals. Read More
Who would have thought that an extremely energy-efficient 3D camera is in a large part due to a tiny jumping spider?
Engineers at Northwestern University wanted to create a “depth sensor that could be used in resource-constrained situations where users don’t have unlimited access to power.”1 To put together this special camera, they turned to the jumping spider for design inspiration.
Jumpi... More...
A male daddy longlegs may spend days guarding a cluster of eggs. He cleans them and drives away threats.1 A new study says this type of parental care arose many times through evolution.2 A report from the Linnean Society of London describes the research as helping explain the “origins of fatherhood.”3 Yet the study did not observe fatherhood coming into existence. Instead, it documented creatures... More...
Did you know many secular scientists believe life’s raw ingredients arrived here on meteorites? Learn More
According to evolutionary ideas, dinosaurs went extinct around 65 million years ago. But we find evidence that dinosaurs lived much more recently than that! Read More
