The evolution of the eye has always been a dilemma for evolutionists from Darwin’s time to the present. Although Darwin, Richard Dawkins and other evolutionists have tried to explain how an eye could evolve, their solutions are clearly unsatisfactory. Many kinds of eyes exist, but no progression of eye designs from simple to complex can be produced in the natural or fossil world. Furthermore, the simplest ‘eye’, the eyespot, is not an eye but pigmented cells used for phototaxis; yet even it requires an enormously complex mechanism in order to function as a vision system.

The following brief web article was adapted from the section on alleged ‘bad designs’ in Dr Sarfati’s new book By Design, which is subtitled, Evidence for nature’s Intelligent Designer—the God of the Bible. The prostate is a walnut-sized gland in male mammals that secretes a clear, slightly alkaline liquid that comprises about 10–30% of the volume of semen. Thus it is a vital musculoglandular organ for reproduction. Some critics of creation/intelligent design complain that it is badly designed because the urethra (the tube through which urine flows out) passes through it, so if the prostate enlarges, it restricts urine

Francis Crick and James Watson have used the occasion of the 50th anniversary of their discovery of the DNA double helix as an excuse to attack belief in a Creator.1 wikimedia commons Francis Crick and James Watson. Together with Maurice Wilkins they received the Noble Prize in 1962 for their discovery of the double helix structure of DNA back in 1953. A recent UK news article about the Nobel-Prize–winning pair claimed ‘scientific discoveries have a habit of offending religious susceptibilities’, and pointed out, ‘Watson and Crick are both outspoken atheists.’1 These comments attempt to reinforce the old canard

A pristine Mesozoic bird fossil showed impressions of feathers and even some organs, including what appear to be lungs. The technical article published in the leading journal PNAS did not report any original body tissue, nor any substance that literally felt soft.1 Instead, the now-decomposed lungs left such detailed impressions that researchers saw lung microstructures. Two aspects of this set of probable lungs confirm … More… …read more Source: icr.org

With a new addition to the category of “uniquely human features,” MIT neuroscientists discovered a feature of human—not animal—brain cells. Certain human brain cells have much longer extensions called dendrites, and this research team found a uniquely human reason for it. The cerebrum lies just beneath the skull. It has folds and bends. This largest part of the brain manages all kinds … More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham A recent study of the tiger genome confirmed that there are six extant (still in existence) subspecies of tigers; Bengal tiger, Amur tiger, South China tiger, Sumatran tiger, Indochinese tiger, and Malayan tiger. This new knowledge will aid in conservation efforts. But it also has an interesting creation connection, confirming exactly what we would expect starting with God’s Word. AiG’s Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson, who holds a PhD in cell and developmental biology from Harvard University, wrote these comments about the study: Evolutionists have long thought that species take hundreds of thousands to millions of years to form.

Our scientific forefathers thought of germs as simple living things. They were oh, so wrong. Apparently, when it comes to living things, small does not mean simple. Two new discoveries about germs that live in or on human bodies take microbe ingenuity to a new level. In one report published in PLOS Pathogens, researchers under the direction of Luisa Hiller at Carnegie Mellon University decoded a germ’s … More… …read more Source: icr.org
A new study just came out that analyzed vast amounts of data from human genome samples from all over the world.1 Based on the evolutionists’ own theoretical model of evolution, 95% of the human genome is “restrained”—it can’t evolve.

The drought tolerance of a popular grain, sorghum, makes it an important global food crop.

The inclination of some evolutionists to project God-like powers onto nature is becoming more prominent in scientific literature.

By Ken Ham A recent CBC news story caught my eye (that may be because the monkey in the article’s first picture is not going for the bananas, or that I was thinking I would make sure to thoroughly wash any of those fruits the monkey was walking over before eating). But it seems that researchers studying plants in Uganda and Madagascar have found that plants seem to produce fruits in colors matching what the local animals that eat them can easily see. There are various types of plants which are similar in both countries, even though they are over
