Flood geologists have predicted that plate motion slowed at the end of the Flood year, and now conventional scientists are finding it to be true. A recent study by Colleen Dalton and her colleagues from Brown University in Providence, RI, found that ocean crust production slowed by 35% from 15–6 million years ago, or late in the Tertiary.1 Although we dispute these great ages, the data still indicate a slowdown in plate mov...

The discovery of a new species of a plant or animal would probably not spark much excitement to the non-scientist. But in this case, the conditions surrounding the discovery of two new species of little-known fish should cause Christians who are interested in origins to take notice.
Locations in Dorset, England, and Ettling, Germany, revealed two new species of the genus Thrissops: Thrissops ettlingensis sp. nov. an... More...
A new study published in Nature describes the discovery of 13 fossilized teeth from the Ledi-Geraru site in Ethiopia. They have been dated to between 2.6 and 2.8 million years ago and are attributed to two distinct hominin species: early Homo and a newly identified Australopithecus relative.1 The researchers argue that this find supports a “bushy tree” model of human evolution, where multiple spec...

In 2023, an undergraduate student from McGill University discovered a new dragonfly species in Alberta, Canada. In fact, “This is the first ever dinosaur-aged dragonfly found in Canada,” said paleontologist Andre Mueller of McGill University.1 Paleontologists are claiming it’s a missing link.
Sci.News reported this find, stating it supposedly fills a huge gap in dragonfly evolution: “Name... More...
The strange and wonderful coelacanth1 has long been a challenge to evolutionists.
The coelacanth has long been hailed as an ancestor to amphibians and other tetrapods as their lineage goes back a supposed 300 million years. However, the exact origin of coelacanths has never been established by evolutionary scientists, the fish just seem to appear in the rocks “suddenly” like most ... More...
A recent study published in Scientific Reports found strange globs of tree resin (amber) mixed within claimed ancient (Cretaceous) deep-water sediments on Hokkaido Island in northern Japan.1 This is the first reported instance of amber in what’s interpreted as a deep ocean setting.
The research team, led by Aya Kubota from the Research Institute for Geo-Resources and Environment and on faculty at Chuo Univ... More...
A recent study published in Geology found that sedimentary rock can form in as little as 35 years.1,2 Before this, conventional geologists thought these types of rocks took vast amounts of time to erode, consolidate, and lithify. What they discovered along the coast of Scotland caused them to quickly change their minds.
Senior author Amanda Owen of the University of Glasgow said,

Recently, University of Kansas paleontologists discovered a fossil of what they think is a “near-marsupial.”1 It is called Swaindelphys and was found in Big Bend National Park, Texas. Conventional scientists interpret Swaindelphys as a large extinct possum.
The two researchers involved in this discovery stated in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology,

An allegedly vital piece of animal evolution was first discovered in 1984 in Scotland. Conventional scientists suggested the fossil of Westlothiana lizziae, a lizard-like reptile, is an example of an early stem tetrapod.
However, due to the fragmentary nature of the W. lizziae fossil, some evolutionists are unsure of Westlothiana’s phylogenetic (evolutionary) position. Regardless, a SciTechDaily a... More...
Two separate research reports arrived at a similar conclusion.1,2 Both found an episode of mysterious erosion had occurred near the end of the Tejas Megasequence. This event likely correlates to the final phase of water draining off the continents during the Flood. It also confirms a late Cenozoic end of the Flood boundary, called the N-Q (Neogene-Quaternary).3,4
