Darwin’s theory of evolution makes several predictions about adaptation. But recent genetic findings raise questions about the accuracy of evolutionary theory, since the findings point toward different types of engineered adaptability. The latest challenges to Darwin’s theory, published in March 2020, come from the fascinating insects known as turtle ants. More… …read more Source: icr.org
It’s mole season. Moles get active in springtime, especially during March and April. Moles are mostly hidden out of plain sight, but they are actually important members of God’s creation. Many people dislike moles, due to how the creatures wrinkle lawn surfaces, but the ecological benefits usually outweigh such minor yard-care nuisances. Moles are known for digging. But how do they dig? More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham In a recent news release from North Carolina State University (NCSU), the first-ever report of dinosaur cartilage cells having been discovered was announced. Several bones, including juvenile skull bones from the herbivorous duck-billed dinosaur Hypacrosaurus, were found in the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) Two Medicine Formation of northern Montana, conventionally dated between 83–72 million years ago. In many juvenile animals, and in humans (up to late teens or early twenties), parts of the skull contain cartilage, which eventually calcifies and fuses into the bone. In many juvenile animals, and in humans (up to late teens or early twenties),

By Ken Ham A recent news item caught my eye. It stated that the soldiers of Turtle ants show that evolution can go in reverse. This might seem like a startling announcement until you look closely at what they observed and reported. The researchers were somewhat surprised to learn that this size variation almost perfectly correlates to the width of the tunnels these ants live in. There are over 100 species of Turtle ants of the genus Cephalotes. They mostly live in the trees of tropical areas all over the world. Ten of these species have no soldier ants (basically

Cichlid fish are a top biological model for the study of diversification because of their unique ability to adapt to a wide range of lake and river environments. They also produce a startling array of unique traits. For creation scientists, they are particularly interesting because they provide an opportunity to illustrate how creatures are able to track their environments and respond accordingly to produce traits that allow them to succeed… More… …read more Source: icr.org

Scientists claim to have discovered DNA-like molecules inside specialized cells taken from a type of duckbill dinosaur. Could it be actual dino DNA? Some paleontologists remain unconvinced, since DNA lasts only thousands of years before degrading, and dinosaur fossils are supposedly millions of years old. Do their objections make sense? The big picture of Earth history hangs in the balance. Alida Bailleul at the Chinese Aca… More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham A team of researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel decided to take a closer look at a common salmon parasite called Henneguya salminicola to determine how it could survive in low-oxygen salmon muscle tissue. What they found was startling—H. salminicola does not need oxygen at all! While there are single-celled bacteria that don’t need oxygen, this is the first multicellular organism they’ve found that doesn’t utilize oxygen. This parasite is in the same phylum as corals, jellyfish, and anemones, and it even has what looks like typical stinging cells, except H. salminicola doesn’t use them to

It seems obvious that when Britain’s trees were covered in black coal soot during the industrial revolution that the numbers of black-colored peppered moths would increase. But several recent studies indicate that a change to black coloration in creatures in response to pollution, called industrial melanism, may not be directly related to camouflage.

By Ken Ham A recent popular science article announced that “genes that have evolved from scratch are both more common and more important than previously believed.” These so-called “orphan genes . . . appear to have no relatives and are often responsible for unique characteristics and abilities of organisms.” Of course, evolutionists attribute the existence of such genes to naturalistic evolution. But did brand-new genetic information really evolve? Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson, who earned his PhD in cell and developmental biology from Harvard University, shared this with me about these two new studies: In these studies, evolutionists continued their quest to

Wooly mammoths once roamed North America, northern Europe, and Siberia. Possibly the last of their kind perished as a dwindling population on Wrangel Island, northeast of Siberia. Who wouldn’t wonder why wooly mammoths no longer roam our planet? The process of gathering clues to their extinction can evoke the same feelings found in good mystery novels. New research into ancient DNA gives another solid clue toward two old culprit theor… More… …read more Source: icr.org
Many students are told about how increasing coal soot during Britain’s 18th and 19th century industrial revolution drove the color change observed in black peppered moths.
