What if the smallest creatures held the biggest clues to life’s design? A 2025 study in Nature Physics investigates the remarkable behaviors of Stentor coeruleus, a trumpet-shaped unicellular protist. Though it has only one cell, Stentor shows traits that match the complexity of multicellular life. These findings support the biblical view of intentional design and reveal the Creator’s wisdom at the tiniest s... More...
Insects such as the ubiquitous butterfly belong to the huge phylum Arthropoda (creatures having paired, jointed appendages and a chitinous exoskeleton). There is no indication this phylum evolved from some other group. Indeed, arthropods “have a rich fossil record extending to the very late Precambrian period” as arthropods.1
The fossil record confirms this, showing that butterflies (Lepidoptera) have alway... More...
The lowly fruit fly (Drosophila) is the research biologist’s friend in fields such as biomedical science, genetics, and developmental biology. The insect takes up little space, is easily fed, has just four pairs of chromosomes, and reproduces rapidly.
Recently, zoologists have been investigating “how a structure essential for [fruit] fly flight, the haltere [balancer], is formed. This small organ, located behin... More...
A recent popular science article begins with the words, “A new study published in July 2025 tackles one of science’s most profound mysteries – how did life first emerge from non-living matter on early Earth?”1 As is so typical in such articles, the author simply assumes that life did naturally arise from nonliving chemicals. It is almost as if he is attempting to frame the debate by excluding from t... More...
