“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

100 Years of Fruit Fly Tests Show No Evolution http://www.icr.org/article/5532/ July 22, 2010, marked the 100th anniversary of genetic investigations using fruit flies. The first such study appeared in Science in 1910 and described the unexpected appearance of a male fruit fly with white eyes after generations of flies with pigmented eyes.1 This began a century of focused studies on fruit fly mutations, but what has really been learned by all this tinkering? For most of the past century–and especially since the discovery of DNA as a physical molecule carrying heritable information–the prevailing concept of neo-Darwinian evolution has held mutations

“If man with all his ingenuity can only create a much inferior fake Jellyfish then what is the probability that blind random chance could create the much superior real one, I think we know the answer to that.” Admin Many jellyfish are transparent, and they have seemingly simple movements and few visible interacting parts. They should, therefore, be easy to synthesize with man-made parts, but that’s not what bioengineers discovered when they recently built a jellyfish mimic from rat heart cells attached to a silicone frame.

“One more example of a marvel of design in nature. Such precision could hardly be the product of random chance.” Admin Computerized tomography (CT) scans use computing power to compile two-dimensional X-ray images into a three-dimensional view, and researchers are optimistic that a new form of high-resolution CT scanning at the molecular level will give “scientists precious new information about how Mother Nature forms shells, bones, and other hard structures.”1 They hope to learn how to mimic the strength of these natural structures in the manufacture of similar man-made materials. Like the metal rods (rebar) that are embedded in a

“More marvels of design in nature. How anyone could think such sophistication in design could happen by chance is beyond me. It almost shouts it was a product of intelligence and one far beyond ours.” Admin Many clams glue themselves onto a solid surface like a rock or coral reef to keep from being tossed about by the surf. The “glue” sets when wet and is extremely strong, partly because tiny fibers enable the glue to self-heal. Similarly, scientists have discovered that a form of bacteria produces an amazingly water-repellent substance called biofilm that “greatly surpass[es] the repellency of Teflon.”1

Encyclopædia Britannica claims the earliest known rodents come from the upper Paleocene (supposedly about 57 million years ago) of North America, yet it admits these animals ‘had already acquired all of the diagnostic features of the order.’ In other words, these ‘early’ animals were easily recognizable as rodents. Comprising 50% of all mammal species, rodents should be prolific in the fossil record, and evolutionists should expect to find numerous examples of transitional species. However, Britannica states: ‘Rodents are relatively poorly represented in collections of fossils, in spite of their great abundance at the present time.’2 This situation is clarified with
