By Ken Ham Should we be concerned about “complex genetic tests” being offered to parents ahead of in vitro fertilization (IVF, a popular fertility treatment that involves implanting embryos—read: babies—in a womb). And if so, why? Well, that depends on your worldview. An editorial recently appeared in Nature.com titled, “The alarming rise of complex genetic testing in human embryo selection.” In this article, the author raises the alarm regarding The emergence of companies that offer prospective parents complex genetic tests on embryos . . . The companies claim to be able to predict the risk of many common diseases — [More]

Although we see much beauty in God’s creation, we cannot help but see Earth as a perfect world gone wrong. Conditions such as cancer, COVID, and carnivores reminds us this world has been cursed due to the sin of our first parents. Cursed is the ground for your sake; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life. Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, and you shall eat… More… …read more Source: icr.org     

A wide array of fish, amphibians, and arthropods have successfully colonized cave environments. In their cave adaptation, these creatures display complex systems of morphological, physiological, and behavioral traits that allow them to thrive in light-deficient and resource-scarce environments. One of the best-studied of these creatures is the Mexican tetra blind cavefish which is now revealing surprising and ingenious adaptive engineering that e… More… …read more Source: icr.org

Researchers recently scanned a region of the smallest human chromosome and found three previously undiscovered families of genes that are uniquely human and completely absent from apes.1 This new discovery continues to highlight previous research, showing that the human genome contains many human-specific genes not found in apes—utterly confounding the rapidly crumbling paradigm of human-ape evolution. Scientists h… More… …read more Source: icr.org     

By Ken Ham Will “Jurassic Park” someday be a reality? Well, scientists are working on trying to bring back a variety of extinct species, such as the woolly mammoth, passenger pigeon, and Tasmanian tiger (thylacine). Will they be successful? A new study says . . . maybe, sort of. This idea of bringing back extinct species is called “de-extinction” and involves studying preserved DNA from an extinct species and editing the DNA of a closely related species (both are part of the same kind, such as the woolly mammoth and African or Asian elephants) to match, as closely as possible, [More]

Scientists described the first evidence of a possible respiratory illness in a fossil. The common soil fungus Aspergillis can infect birds and reptiles today. The resulting disease, also called aspergillosis, causes the trachea’s soft tissues to attach to nearby bones. This causes odd bone bumps—the subject of discovery in a dino nicknamed Dolly. But the human sympathy that these scientists expressed over Dolly’s presumed diseas… More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham Are you ready to be blown away by brand-new research that rewrites history as we think we know it? Well, when researchers start with God’s Word, rather than human reasoning, they’re able to make these kinds of discoveries because they have the proper starting point: the history recorded in the infallible Word of God. Harvard-trained Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson, who serves at AiG on our research team, starts with God’s Word, not the evolutionary timeline. Because of that stance, he’s able to study DNA in a completely different way from evolutionists. And what he’s found stamped in our [More]

Graduate student Shiuan-Tze Wu led a study of some ingenious organization into the odor-sensing cells of fruit flies. He and his collaborators at the La Jolla campus of UC San Diego found that the odor-detector cells in the insects’ antennae talk to one another in a way that saves brainpower. It’s all so impressive that the senior author of the report called it “simple yet elegant,” according to the UC San Diego News Cente… More… …read more Source: icr.org     

By Ken Ham Are humans “messing with evolution”? According to a new study, we are! This study looked at so-called “rapid evolution”—which the authors argue is “not so exceptional . . . it’s actually occurring all the time”—and how humans are the driving force behind much of the current change we’re seeing in nature. What Kind of Change? So, what kind of change is the study referring to? Well, they give a variety of different examples of changes within populations of organisms—for example, a trend toward smaller individuals within certain populations. This impacts the population, and therefore the ecosystem, as [More]

A group of scientists—including archaeologists from Newcastle University, UK, and geneticists from the University of the Basque Country, University of Vienna, and Harvard University1,2—unearthed a millennia-old family genealogy. They isolated and sequenced DNAs from postcranial, petrous, and teeth bones of 35 individuals buried in the stone cairn at Hazleton North (Gloucestershire, UK). This opens a new door to the hidden p… More… …read more Source: icr.org

It seems not a week goes by that zoologists find yet another function of the designed microbiome. Although it is difficult to define, the total collection of microscopic flora on the individual and in the gut (GI tract) is called the microbiome.1 Microbiota inhabit a variety of niches in the human body, with the gut being the primary location. This microbial colonization supports the digestion of complex nutriti… More… …read more Source: icr.org     

Yet another layer of complexity has been added to the lowly bacterial cell. It has been discovered they can undergo genetic silencing to guard themselves from mutations. A researcher stated this finding is “an extremely important system that had not been appreciated until now.”1 Prior to this discovery, it was thought all parts of the circular chromosome of the bacteria were fully expressed. In other words, t… More… …read more Source: icr.org

A fundamental axiom of evolutionary theory is the alleged random appearance of mutations in the DNA of an organism. This supposedly creates novel genetic variation for the mystical agent called natural selection to act upon.1 That essential premise has now been utterly debunked in a new secular research paper published in the journal Nature.2 Scientists had previously discovered that genetic … More… …read more Source: icr.org
