One of the claims of Scripture most ridiculed by skeptics is the Bible’s matter-of-fact assertion that ancient people once lived for hundreds of years. Although creationists have already documented extrabiblical historical and cultural confirmation of this extreme longevity,1 scientific corroboration of this claim has been, till now, largely absent. Yes, creationists have made good arguments that this longevity is scientifi... More...
Much has been written regarding the critical importance of photosynthesis and how utterly complex this near-universal biochemical process is.1,2 Photosynthesis is the production of life energy from light energy and is still not completely understood: “It’s perhaps the most important biochemical process on Earth and scientists don’t yet fully understand how it works.”3
The amazing proc... More...
In the late 1960s, a scientist named Ronald Lockley wrote, “How do animals find their way over apparently trackless country, through pathless forests, across empty deserts, over and under featureless seas?...They do so, of course, without any visible compass, sextant, chronometer, or chart...”1
Indeed, it has long been known that nearly all types of creatures, from bacteria2 to foxes,3... More...
A new technical report focusing on antibodies from Medieval human teeth also reported the discovery of antibodies from inside a wooly mammoth bone.1 Radiocarbon dating methods pinned tens of thousands of years to the mammoth fossil. Antibodies are relatively small proteins found in all kinds of body tissues. They contain a particular bond that should not last for eons. It seems that we lack some understanding either of antibody d... More...
Like all animals, “simple” invertebrates such as the jellyfish continue to amaze zoologists.1,2
Recently, scientists have trained a tiny species of box jellyfish (Tripedalia cystophora) to see and avoid obstacles.
No bigger than a fingernail, these seemingly simple jellies have a complex visual system with 24 eyes embedded in their bell-like body. Living in man... More...
Scientists will never fully understand the brain’s operation.1,2,3
As neurological research continues, it will only reveal more detailed questions to ask regarding every aspect of this incredibly designed structure.
Recently, researchers from the University of Sydney, University of Queensland, and University of Cambridge “have confirmed that human brains are naturally wired to perform advanced ca... More...
A giant “dinosaur age” trapdoor spider fossil has been unearthed from McGraths Flat in central New South Wales, Australia.
The Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society described the amazing preservation of fauna and flora of the McGraths Flat;
A newly documented Australian fossil site, named McGraths Flat, provides a rare glimpse into the rainforests that were once preva... More...
Creationists marvel that God has designed creatures both small and big to inhabit a variety of punishing habitats. These examples include the bacteria called Thermocrinis (in the geysers of Yellowstone) and bar-headed geese reaching extreme altitudes of 23,851 feet (7,270 meters). They can survive and flourish because the Lord Jesus has placed within their genome the specifications for traits that let them fill various ecological niches.More...
Fascinating discoveries have been made regarding the amazing Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula).1 For example, all parts of this amazing plant must work together to maintain its carnivorous function. ICR’s Brian Thomas said:
...the Venus flytrap is irreducibly complex, which is to say that if one part is removed, the whole system is rendered useless. For example, if snap-trap pl... More...
