Proof The Bible Is True

By Ken Ham New research reveals ichthyosaurs, extinct marine creatures, likely had blubber, smooth skin, countershading, and were warm-blooded. Now that’s interesting and will certainly prompt scientists to take another look at this fascinating creature. But the real story here is one you have to read between the lines to get. Johan Lindgren, the lead researcher on this study published in Nature, states of the find: This animal’s preservation is unusual, especially for a marine environment . . . This specimen has given us more evidence that these tissues and molecules can preserve for extremely long periods, and that soft [More]

The lovable, designed gecko makes the news again this year.1 In 2009, it was discovered the gecko had amazing nocturnal vision.2 Even their sophisticated feet that secrete phospholipids, complex membrane molecules, are a wonder of creation.3 The impediment of directional hearing in small animals, such as the gecko, is cleverly solved by the Creator’s design. In larger creatures, … More… …read more Source: icr.org

A research team described a form of fossilization that it thinks can explain how original proteins have lasted for millions of years in Earth’s crust. It does match certain fossil features, but leaves two key questions unanswered. And that leaves soft tissue fossils still looking quite young. Publishing in Nature Communications, Yale University scientist Jasmina Wiemann and colleagues drew two parallels… More… …read more Source: icr.org

Experimenting on humans, especially at the earliest stages of life, raises all sorts of ethical problems. From IVF to human cloning, people have debated the morality of tampering with people, who might then suffer consequences from the experimentation throughout their lives. CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats), a gene-editing technology that has made genetic manipulation easier and less expensive than ever before, holds both the promise of a cure for diseases that are currently fatal, and the threat of opening a Pandora’s box of unintended consequences.   Source: Genetically modified babies – creation.com

Plankton is a generic term for small marine creatures such as algae, bacteria, and protozoa. Although tiny, they are packed with incredibly intricate submicroscopic structures. This complexity isn’t surprising since many of these entities are photosynthetic, able to turn light energy into sugars needed for life’s energy. This process of photosynthesis is surprisingly complex. Bacteria and single-celled alg… More… …read more Source: icr.org     

Contrary to the well-known intelligent-design claim that some biological systems are so complex that they must have been designed, botanist and environmental scientist Alexander Williams has now described a new concept that shows all aspects of life point to intelligent design.   ‘This concept is simpler, and broader in its application, than Behe’s concept of irreducible complexity’, Williams says, ‘and it applies to all of life, not just to some of it.’   Writing in the latest issue of the Journal of Creation, Williams outlines the biological concept of autopoiesis, a term that literally means ‘self-making’. Autopoiesis refers to the [More]

Evidence for creation is seen in both the sudden origin1 of spiders, as demonstrated in the fossil record, and their amazing design.2 All spiders are created with four pairs of walking legs. Spider fossils are rare. Only about a thousand fossil species have been described worldwide. But they always display their iconic eight legs, remarkably complex eyesight organs and are, as creationists predict, 100% spiders. The Ju… More… …read more Source: icr.org

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.   Read More: Did eyes [More]

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 [More]

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 [More]

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.
