By Ken Ham I’m sure at some point you’ve heard the tired, old claim that humans and chimps are 98% similar or share 98% of their DNA. This claim is made in an attempt to prove the supposed evolutionary cousinship of humans and chimps. It’s made frequently, but that “fact” is anything but a fact—it’s simply not true. Dr. Georgia Purdom, a molecular geneticist, recently sat down with Pure Talk for an interview regarding creation, evolution, chimp and human DNA, and more. She brought her scientific expertise to bear on this question, among others. I encourage you to watch this

Botanists have known for decades that plants aren’t just static entities that simply photosynthesize and reproduce. Indeed, plants read the living world around them with an incredible display of clearly designed sensory features that continues to amaze scientists.1-3 Plants read the living world … More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham When you think of fungi, you probably don’t automatically think “smart”—especially considering they don’t have brains! But these incredible organisms are indeed “smart,” in the sense that they are designed to do what they do, and what they do, they do well. (Some of you may have heard me give a fun saying like this to kids in one of my live presentations!) The more we look at what God has made, the more obvious it is that we are without excuse if we refuse to acknowledge the Creator (Romans 1:20). And fungi are just one more

by Brian Thomas, Ph.D., and Timothy Clarey, Ph.D. Evolutionary narratives insist that kangaroos, and the marsupials they represent, evolved millions of years ago in Australia. Supposedly, that’s why today they only live there. In contrast, Genesis teaches that all animals—including kangaroos—migrated to their present locations from the Ark’s landing place “on the mountains of A… More… …read more Source: icr.org

Travis T inquired about a recent article, which supposedly details how multi-celled animals could have developed. Dr Matthew Cserhati (CMI-US) responds. The experiment looks interesting, but it raises a lot of questions. A quote from the paper that you referenced: “The great-great-great-grandmother of all cells in the animal kingdom, so to speak, was probably quite similar to a stem cell.” Read More: Were stem cell-like organisms the first forms of life? – creation.com

Researchers have just reported a newly recoded bacterial genome in which genetic optimization was markedly reduced.1 Optimization is a principle of designed systems. Scientists hacked the bacteria’s genetic code and it experienced a huge reduction in growth. It also exhibited an abnormal cell shape. Despite this obvious detriment to the bacteria, the researchers gloated that life could still operate—a common, yet fail… More… …read more Source: icr.org

Can a single fossil showcase the immense power of the global Flood? One such revelatory fossil may have been found recently in Myanmar encased in beautiful, golden Cretaceous amber.1 And secular scientists are scrambling to come up with an adequate explanation for its existence.

The duck-billed dinosaurs (order Ornithischia, family Hadrosauridae) were a diverse group that allegedly lived 90 million years ago, with hundreds of specimens unearthed by paleontologists in China and North America. Hadrosaurs are noted, of course, for their expanded duck-like bills, solid crests, and fleshy combs (a projection of fleshy material above the head).1 Much has been learned about hadrosaurs due to the discovery of se… More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham We constantly see headlines proclaiming the “rapid evolution” of one species or another. The latest one announced the so-called “rapid evolution” of bird species in the tropical island paradise of Hawaii. It’s happening so fast, they describe it as “a blistering pace” of evolution. But, like all the other supposed “rapid evolution” articles, there’s no evolution taking place—just changes based on the genetic diversity that likely already existed in the living thing. The popular article summarizing the research explains that non-native birds are replacing the now extinct species previously native to Hawaii. These birds have quickly filled

By Ken Ham Due to their evolutionary assumptions, evolutionists believe so-called “early” animals are simple. One such animal is the tube anemone. Because they live slow, long, predictable lifestyles, it was assumed that they were simple. But new research shows their mitochondrial DNA is anything but simple. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA, located in the mitochondria of the cell and not the nucleus) is usually found in a ring shape, but in the tube anemone, it’s found in linear fragments. And the tube anemone now holds the record for the largest mitochondrial genome of any animal, with 81,000 base pairs. In comparison,

By Ken Ham A new study, summarized in a lengthy National Geographic article, looked at the genome of over 200 fossil horses, as well as domesticated horses and the Przewalski’s horse, a rare wild horse in Mongolia. The National Geographic headline declared, “Speedy horses evolved only recently, says landmark equine study.” But what they were really looking at was not evolution—it was artificial selection! The study compared genetic diversity between fossil horses and living ones, including our domesticated varieties (of which there are around 600, all belonging to the same species). And what they found was that genetic diversity is

By Frank Sherwin and Jeffrey Tomkins Fruit flies have been the foundational invertebrate of biology research for decades.
