By Ken Ham Just because we can, does it mean we should? Well, how you answer such a question depends on your worldview and the foundation that worldview rests on. What do I mean? Well, consider the question of “chimeras.” In science today, chimeras refer to human-animal hybrids. Many scientists are doing such research today, artificially combining human and animal cells. But should they be? Well, the US Senate seems to think they should be. According to a recent article, “the Senate failed to pass an amendment … [in May 2021 that] would have banned chimera research in the U.S

The sprouting of a seed is crucial to not only the beginning of a plant’s life, but all life on earth. Despite this fundamental process of importance to plant biology, scientists are baffled over how seeds detect when there’s enough water to germinate. This mystery is now beginning to unfold and nothing less than finely tuned engineering is the clear result. Researchers recently reported the discovery of a special… More… …read more Source: icr.org

About 1,600 years ago, salt miners in Iran apparently left their lamb lunch down the shaft. Their loss became scientists’ gain. The now-mummified sheep carcass suggests that salt helps preserve sheepskin DNA. The research results, published in Biology Letters, showed probably the best-preserved DNA from any skin from that time.1 The Iranian and European team used radiocarbon dating to help establish an age e… More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham Elephants use their incredibly dexterous trunks almost like a hand with fingers. This trunk boasts around 40,000 individual muscles and can be used to suck up food and water. But the elephant’s trunk isn’t just a “simple straw”—and new research shows it’s more complicated than was initially thought. A recent study detailed measurements during one zoo elephant’s feeding time. They discovered the elephant can “dilate its nostrils to boost its trunk’s carrying capacity.” Each of an elephant’s two nostrils can increase in volume by a stunning 64%! The “flow rate of water through the trunk averaged about

Scientists recently discovered a diverse assemblage of fossils in South Africa claimed to be some of the earliest land plants.1 Known as seedless vascular plants, the fossils were determined to be from early Devonian system strata. Most shockingly, secular paleogeography models indicate these plants grew at about 75 degrees South Latitude, very close to the South Pole! Discovered in 2015 during the expansion of the Mpofu… More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham What’s the genetic difference between modern man and our so-called evolutionary cousins, such as Neanderthals and Denisovans? Well, a new study claims to have determined the number of differences with “shocking” results. The study authors write, “We find that only 1.5 to 7 percent of the modern human genome is uniquely human.” Now, one and one-half to seven percent is a very large margin of error! Why might that be? Well, for two reasons. Here’s the first, according to Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson, a biologist on our research staff who has worked heavily with DNA and has a

Let’s say you recorded a library of books onto DNA. Hundreds of books could fit on your fingertip, but how would you find the one book you wanted?

DNA appeals as a more stable and, someday, cheaper data storage vehicle, excepting one important hurdle: how to retrieve that needle in a DNA st… More… …read more Source: icr.org
