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...
For decades, evolutionists pointed to dozens of ‘useless artifacts’ of the human body to make their questionable case for evolution.
But the creation worldview states that God doesn’t make any junk. Therefore, when evolutionists proclaim tissue or structures in our body are useless,1,2 one can count on methodical investigation and research to ultimately reveal a God-given function.
Evolutio... More...
God has designed some creatures with an amazing ability to stop or slow down their metabolism (life processes) when encountering challenging conditions.
This state of suspended metabolism is called cryptobiosis, and it has made the news with a discovery of nematodes (worms) in the Siberian permafrost. “When Anastasia Shatilovich at the Institute of Physicochemical and Biological Problems in Soil Science RAS in Russia revive... More...
Gone are the days when many people (biologists included) saw insects as simple creatures that did little more than reproduce, eat, and grow—with some migrating. But as the decades of research passed, it was obvious that insects were hardly simple and uncomplicated creatures. They’re far from it.1,2
Now entomologists are finding—for the first time—that butterflies in their erratic flight are actu... More...
