Sep 8, 2008 … A gecko foot encased in amber has been dubbed the oldest gecko fossil ever discovered, according to researchers from Oregon State University and the Natural History Museum in London.1 The amber deposits containing the remarkably well-preserved fossil, discovered in Myanmar, are said to be around 100 million years old, which would double the “date” of the earliest-known gecko, making it “43 to 56 million years older” than the prior record holder.2 The discovery has been given the customary evolutionary interpretation, but the evidence presented by this gecko foot actually fits much better within a biblical creation

Creation scientists say new genetic findings challenge the evolutionary model and show that humans and chimps did not evolve from a common ancestor. Scientists from MIT and the University of Massachusetts Medical School recently published a report in the journal Genome Research entitled “Evolutionary dynamics and tissue specificity of human long noncoding RNAs in six mammals.” The article compares human long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) with lincRNAs of several mammals—including chimps and rhesus monkeys. According to experts, lincRNAs are critically important to cells’ existence and serve many different roles. Not only are lincRNAs found within cells’ nuclei and cytoplasm, but

The study of ancient DNA is currently all the rage in the field of genomics. Despite the fact that many problems still plague the field, several new research papers are claiming that scientists can now detect and study Neandertal genome sequence in modern human DNA databases using only electronic tools.

“Another incredible marvel of design that only an intelligence far greater than ours could have produced.” Admin Human eyes are well-designed to see objects using light transmitted through air, but not through water, because light travels at a different speed through the two media. However, intertidal-dwelling marine mollusks called chitons can see equally well in both environments. How did they acquire this unusual ability? Chitons scour intertidal rocks for algae meals. Eight integrated shell-plates cover their backs, and a muscular foot allows them to cling with surprising strength to the rocks they traverse. A recent study explored their unique dual-mode

“The biological classification of Dugongs demonstrate the fanciful leaps of logic evolutionists like to indulge in when trying to present a supposed evolutionary order of various creatures even if there’s zero fossil evidence to support it.” Admin Sightings of dugongs by early seafarers possibly gave rise to the mythology of mermaids and sirens. Given that a dugong has a wrinkly face and bristly nose, those sailors must have been at sea for a very long time! But, while dugongs may not be as lovely as the imaginary beautiful creatures their sightings inspired, they nevertheless possess a wondrous beauty in their

The human hand is undeniably a work of wonder. Its layout and suite of design features enable mankind,the only possessors of this particular arrangement of bones, tendons, muscles, and nerves,to type faster than 60 words per minute or swing a heavy hammer while holding a delicate potato chip. What would it take to duplicate a human hand? A series of robotic facsimiles of human hands have been developed, but none have approached the range of functions of the original. The latest and most advanced robot hand was recently described in the journal Smart Materials and Structures by two Virginia Polytechnic

“Another marvel of design that confounds evolutionists.” Admin Animal and human life depends, either directly or indirectly, on plant life. And all plant life depends on extraordinarily precise biochemical machines that capture and convert light energy into energy that living cells can use. Researchers at the Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois have been using ultrafast spectroscopy to discover just how these systems work. Their most recent discovery has them baffled over the newfound complexity of photosynthesis in purple bacteria. It turns out that their photosynthetic machinery is such advanced technology that it takes advantage of the quantum nature of light.

“One of the scientists quoted in the article states “We’ve got some catching up to do.….The nature-produced tiny structures are far beyond any human designs.” yet evolutionists want us to believe this marvel of design happened by chance … ridiculous.” Admin The diamond weevil, which makes its home in the Brazilian tropics, has a body studded with tiny, brilliant reflectors. Each one is like a diamond, reflecting different-colored light in shiny arrays. New research has probed the microstructure of these brilliant facets and discovered that the way they work is familiar—but the way they are made is not. These insect

“Once again man is copying one of the marvels of design in Gods creation.” Admin Harvard’s Wyss Institute specializes in designing new materials and devices that mimic patterns found in living things. Their latest contribution was inspired by the versatile material found in insect cuticle, which is strong and flexible, yet remarkably lightweight. The result was “shrilk,” a moldable, biodegradable substance derived from shrimp shells and silk that is as strong as some aluminum alloys but only half their weight. “Shrilk could be used to make trash bags, packaging, and diapers that degrade quickly,” according to a Wyss Institute press

“The honeybee’s guidance system and waggle dance it does to communicate to other bees how to get to the nectar are complex marvels of design. Another testimony to God’s handiwork.” Admin Polarized light imprints GPS directions on the honeybee brain’s genes. The uncanny ability of honeybees to remember and communicate the location of sweet nectar has been the subject of ongoing investigations—both navigational and genetic. “The more we find out how honeybees make their way around the landscape, the more awed we feel at the elegant way they solve very complicated problems of navigation that would floor most people—and then
