Think of all the jobs that our good working sense of smell fulfills. First, the nose detects a chemical—the source of the scent. It distinguishes that scent from literally billions of others. Our sense of smell even gauges the strength of the scent. Finally, the sense rapidly scans memories of past smells to interpret the odor’s level of pleasure or toxicity or something in between. Human engineers would need a large lab full of… More… …read more Source: icr.org     

The junk DNA paradigm has proven to be an ill-founded icon of evolution. We’ve witnessed its pet sub-theories systematically debunked as we learn more and more about how creatures’ DNA systems work. And now one of the pet darlings of junk DNA speculation, the alleged useless nature of introns (intervening noncoding pieces of genes), has also been tossed in the evolutionary trash heap. When scientists first… More… …read more Source: icr.org

Based on the morphology of the find’s teeth and fins, researchers have concluded it’s a new species of shark, but … More… …read more Source: icr.org     

Secular geologists have long claimed that oil can survive millions of years underground because it somehow becomes pasteurized at 80 oC (176 oF), preventing further biodegradation.1 These geologists argue that oil can be preserved for millions of years because the subsurface temperatures are simply too hot for microbial activity. And once the oil is pasteurized (heated enough to destroy microorganisms) and t… More… …read more Source: icr.org     

By Ken Ham Researchers have announced what they believe to be the oldest flowering plant, a flower with a tree-shaped style and spoon-shaped petals from the early Jurassic, some supposed 174 million years ago. The fossils of this plant were examined with high-powered microscopes that revealed it was an angiosperm, a specific group of plants that have flowers and enclosed seeds. One researcher describes the origin of angiosperms as a long “academic headache,” and the lead author of this new paper on this fossilized flower comments, Researchers were not certain where and how flowers came into existence, because it seems [More]

When investigating true-vs.-false controversies, words are very important. Yet Christians sometimes unintentionally perpetuate false teachings by using misleading terms that accommodate evolutionary assumptions.1,2 This is what law courts call confusion of issues, a truth-interference problem so serious that trial judges, invoking Evidence Rule 403, ban such confusing terminology when admitting trial evidence.3   For example, the origin of species is a confusing topic. What exactly is a species? How can we properly analyze and discuss our origins if the words we use mean different things to different people? Consider this approach by Wikipedia, the multi-anonymous online encyclopedia that institutionally assumes [More]

While I was chatting once with an inmate at a Pennsylvanian prison, he told me that upon his arrival a guard wryly said he was free to do whatever he wanted…so long as it was regulated. Regulations are a method of control using rules in lieu of physical handling. Since regulatory control over systems, processes, and behaviors is often essential, regulations are pervasive in organizations—and also in biology. If engineered control systems and biological regulatory systems are both based on rules, how similar are they?   Read More: Engineered Adaptability: Biological Networks Feature Finest Engineering Principles | The Institute for [More]

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.

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.

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]
