Can evolution explain the origin of neurons?
It has traditionally been thought in biology that invertebrates were somehow simple and less complex than vertebrates. But in past decades, this has been turned on its head.1,2 For example, Cephalopods (marine molluscs) continue to amaze researchers with their intellect and unparalleled complexity.3 This is especially true for the genetics and biochemistry that regulate such complexity at the cellular level.

Why would a loving God create bacteria and viruses? Many of them are still good today! See how we need our microbiome (and virome).
Some of us may remember in high school science class viewing a busy, single-celled Paramecium as it moves through a watery medium. They move using numerous short appendages called cilia. These tiny structures are also found in huge numbers (109/cm2 or more) on the surface of the cells that line our airways. Cilia efficiently sweep mucus containing trapped material such as bacteria and dust out of our lungs. Th... More...

Darwin thought he saw evolution, but these island birds really support the biblical Creation/Fall/Flood/Dispersion model.

In Genesis 1 we read the land plants were created on Day 3 of the creation week, and living creatures were created on Days 5 and 6. This would include aquatic, flying, and terrestrial invertebrates such as insects.
So the creationist infers that insects and plants engaged in a common type of ecological interaction called mutualism from the beginning. Specifically, the plants provide food for the insects while the insects pollinat... More...

Life requires many parameters in order to survive and thrive. The more data that are uncovered, the more evidence there is that Earth and its environs were specifically designed with the exact conditions needed for life. Remote sensing has unearthed data suggestive of just such design.
Remote sensing is the process of detecting and monitoring the characteristics of an area by measuring its reflected and emitted radiation at a dis... More...
The field of epigenetics is one of the most exciting and rapidly expanding scientific research areas in the study of the genome and how it responds adaptively in organisms. The term epigenetics is derived from genetics plus the Greek prefix epi, which means “on top of” or “in addition to.” In other words, it’s an additional type of genomic language that overlays the DNA code that controls how genes are switched on or off. It even determines the three-dimensional structure of the chromosomes in the cell’s nucleus. Read More
In the early 1800s, pioneers of Southeast Texas initially avoided Big Thicket. Its more than three million acres embraced dense forests, swamps, and few people. Subsistence farmers soon penetrated the thicket in search of solitude. They traded with Coushatta and Alabama Native Americans who had hunted bear and deer there for over a century. Those who kept cattle contended with Karankawas and Comanches. Outlaws and Civil War draft dodgers hid from authorities within its vast foliated lowlands. Tar and oil oozed to the surface in some spots. The early 20th-century oil boom brought overnight prosperity to those who harvested the

Evolutionists claim a new mouse experiment explains how humans lost their tails. Does it? Read More
The human eye is, perhaps, one of the most obvious examples of design which defies the theory of naturalistic, unintelligent evolution. The more we learn about the eye the more unreasonable it is to suggest that it would originate in some kind of natural way. It is often said that a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. In many ways, vision is like a chain. It is a sequence of events where each step is dependent on every other complex component. If one single step is impaired, then vision as a whole suffers. Consider a

Critics of the biblical Flood have argued that the implications of the Flood make its reality implausible. For instance, Bill Nye has argued that there are some 16,000,000 species on the planet today.1 If there was a Flood only 4,000 years ago, only 7,000 representative species on the Ark to start with, and all of the planet’s other species were wiped out by the Flood, those 7,000 representative species would have to turn into 16,000,000 species in only 4,000 years. That would mean that 11 new species have evolved every day over the last 4,000 years since the Flood. Does such

Chasing and capturing fireflies is a simple joy of childhood. But for evolutionary entomologist Christopher Heckscher, that joy never left. He has been publishing papers on fireflies for almost 20 years but has never acknowledged that they have been designed by the Creator.
Fireflies are not actually flies. Rather, they are beetles (Coleoptera). Heckscher told the Smithsonian “finding [fireflies] inspires awe.&rdqu... More...
A recent scientific study came out addressing the genetic flexibility of a group of invertebrates called the crustaceans (crabs, barnacles, shrimp, and lobsters).
In the rock record, The lowest appearance of crustaceans “are known from Cambrian rocks”1 and are 100 percent crustacean. Their evolutionary relationships are highly questionable with five zoologists stating, “Crustacean phylogenies using mo... More...
Octopi are incredible and intelligent creatures—they are mesmerizing to observe and study. Some of octopi’s interesting features include the ability to change colors and blend in with surroundings, an ink defense that allows them to escape predators, a beak for a mouth, zero bones, and eight arms with suckers that allows them to grab, taste, and smell. Octopi are poikilotherms (cold-blooded). As a result, their brains are expose... More...

These awesome spiders are good dancers—and master architects, too.
It seems not a month goes by that more remarkable discoveries are made regarding the humble honey bee. They have been found capable of basic math, of navigating using spatial memory, of counting, recognizing faces, improving upon what they are learning, playing soccer, and linking symbols to numbers. Will entomologists discover bees can also measure angles and perform mathematical calculations? Time will tell. Read More
