What if a fossil no bigger than a grain of rice showed engineering so precise that it still puzzles scientists? That is the intrigue surrounding Salterella, a tiny cone-shaped creature recently studied by Virginia Tech researchers. Their work highlights a surprising feature—a shell made from two different minerals. They describe it as an evolutionary “experimentation” from the start of animal life.1 Yet t... More...
A recent study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution claims that the “impossible” actually happened—not just once, but three different times.1
Impossible Ocean Barriers
The impossibilities began with the discovery of a new fossil rhinoceros species on Devon Island in the Canadian High Arctic. This smaller and thinner version of today’s African rhino was... More...
People following—or actively involved in—creation science are no doubt aware of the incredible molecular motor called the flagellum,1,2 an ultra-tiny, whip-like appendage on bacteria that enables them to move in an aqueous environment. Recently, research involving bacteria that use sugar-fueled currents and molecular gearboxes has addressed a fascinating dual-function motor that is not associated with the flagellum.<s...

The supposed evolution of bipedalism continues to be a major obstacle in the narrative that humans evolved from apelike ancestors.1,2
For example, in 2024, researchers from New York University reported, “While scientists have long been intrigued by the question of how humans’ bipedal stance and movement evolved from a quadrupedal ancestor, neither past studies nor fossil records have permitted the reconstru... More...
There is nothing so beautiful (and sometimes breathtaking) than observing creatures designed with the ability to undergo fluorescence, the biological emission of light (also called bioluminescence).1 Five scientists defined bioluminescence as “the chemical reaction between a substrate (luciferin) and an enzyme (luciferase) resulting in light emission in a living organism.”2 What was the origin of such an am...

Recently, the prestigious Royal Society published a fascinating paper regarding partial haemoglobin preservation in dinosaur fossils. The study’s authors are from North Carolina State University—a world leader in this area. They wrote,
Still soft, hollow, flexible structures mo... More...
Supposedly, throughout the past hypothetical millions of years, sub-human primates became man, dinosaurs evolved into birds, and a group of mammals even returned to the oceans to become whales. But also according to evolution theory, the amazing horseshoe crab (order Xiphosura) “goes back practically unchanged to the Triassic period.”1 Natural selection2 and random mutations have not affected these chelicer...
