Two recent reports undermine natural selection, but support design. The reports reinforce the reality that creatures are active, problem-solving beings that sense environmental changes and produce targeted adaptive responses. Another new insight is that an organism’s offspring could produce the same targeted response. However, the adaptive traits aren’t due to changes in DNA per se. Rather, the expression of the genes are modified dur… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham A rather lengthy article appeared recently in The Scientist regarding Neanderthal DNA and its appearance in our own genome. Contrary to what evolutionists expected, Neanderthals and what they call modern humans had children together. Since this was an unexpected (in their view) discovery, researchers have been digging to see what marks Neanderthals left in our DNA. And they’ve found that those marks may influence (in some people of certain descent) skin shade, immunity, susceptibility to depression, and even whether someone is a night owl or a morning person. What does this tell us from a creationist …read

Komodo dragons are the largest lizards in the world and a top predator on the remote Indonesian islands they inhabit. Their sensory system allows them to detect large prey, such as deer, over seven miles away. Although Komodo dragons are cold-blooded reptiles, they can rapidly increase their metabolism to near-mammalian levels for amazing bursts of speed and even long strenuous runs. Because of their highly venomous bites, all they need is one go… More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham Have you run into any angry spiders lately? Well, you may in the future thanks to, you may have guessed it, the villain in many news stories—climate change. And, of course, throw in evolution, as well! Researchers discovered that “angry” (aggressive) spiders in storm-prone areas survived better and reproduced more offspring than tamer spiders. This is attributed to evolution, while the storms are attributed to climate change. Some behaviors are simply more beneficial than others under certain circumstances, which may drive a change in the population. But it’s not evolution. The spiders remain spiders—there’s been no change

By Ken Ham A recent study reports that 1% of squirrels in North America have black fur, instead of gray or red. This study found that the black fur is caused by a variant form of the same gene in both gray squirrels and fox (red) squirrels. They believe the most likely explanation is both squirrel species have this same variation because of interbreeding. Is this surprising? We know from the book of Genesis that organisms reproduce according to their kinds. Well, both squirrel species belong to the same created kind, the squirrel kind (the family Sciuridae, which also includes

By Ken Ham Convergent evolution—it’s the convenient term used to describe similar features (often very complex ones such as echolocation or flight) that have supposedly arisen in organisms separated by vast ages of evolutionary distances (millions of years) due to similar environments or stressors. And the newest example of so-called “convergent evolution” is the eyes of crane flies and humans, as supposedly revealed by the fossil record. Scientists found that the insects trap light similarly to the way humans do, using the pigment melanin. Scientists discovered a cache of crane fly fossils, dated to be allegedly 54 million years old.

By Ken Ham Headlines around the world announced that an international team of scientists working in China had created human-monkey chimeras. These “chimeras,” grown as embryos, have both human and monkey cells, and the goal is to grow organs able to be transplanted into humans waiting for an organ donor. This kind of research shows a complete and utter disregard for human life on a number of levels and crosses lines I don’t think should be crossed. Dr. Georgia Purdom, a molecular geneticist here at Answers in Genesis, sent me her thoughts on this troubling news item: When I first

Unique structures in rare bacteria suggest the amazing process of photosynthesis is much “older” than evolutionists assumed. Photosynthesis is the process of turning sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into sugar and oxygen. There are two types. The first is anoxygenic photosynthesis that uses molecules other than water to drive the process and doesn’t produce oxygen as a byproduct. The second is More… …read more Source: icr.org
You have been designed with many trillions of cells. Within the nucleus of each cell (except for red blood cells) is the “molecule of life” called DNA. It’s organized into chromosomes (humans have 46) upon which many thousands of genes are found. Genes are hereditary units, comprised of nucleotide bases called T, G, C, and A. Each cell undergoes complex metabolic processes, or metabolism. Because we live in a fallen world,… More… …read more Source: icr.org
