Current news from the field of paleontology is what creationists expected and even predicted. Whether recent fossil discoveries are invertebrates or vertebrates, they will not document gradual evolutionary progression from one kind into another kind.
Some of the latest examples include a new species of extinct shark named Parvodus ominechonensis that was discovered in Japan.1 Scientists determined it belongs to ... More...
Geophysicist Samantha Hansen and colleagues may have just strengthened evidence for catastrophic plate tectonics (CPT), the leading theoretical model for explaining the Genesis Flood.1 Almost 40 years ago, creation scientist and geophysicist Dr. John Baumgardner suggested that the entire pre-Flood ocean floor logically must have been rapidly subducted into the earth’s mantle during the Flood cataclysm:2,3

A recent study of dinosaur sizes claims to break Bergmann’s rule.1 Bergmann’s rule was named after biologist Carl Bergmann, who in 1847 noticed that warm-blooded animals tended to be larger in cold climates compared to the same animal in a warm climate. Larger body mass tends to help an animal retain more heat, helping animals survive in the cold.

The fossil record contains a plethora of shark teeth, but fossilized shark skeletons are exceptionally rare. When they are found, though, they are always 100% sharks.1,2
Because shark skeletons are made of cartilage, the fact that they’re sometimes found intact indicates a sudden and catastrophic burial such as intense flooding. Indeed, the late evolutionist Barbara Stahl stated about the burial of shark fossils ... More...
Paleontologists have discovered portions of a giant ichthyosaur’s lower jawbone on Blue Anchor Beach at the southern entrance to the United Kingdom’s Bristol Channel.1,2 Although ichthyosaurs have a superficial resemblance to dolphins, which are mammals, they are actually reptiles. A similar ichthyosaur jawbone was discovered nearby at Lilstock in 2018. Long bones, originally thought to belong to dinosaurs, discovered... More...
The pre-Flood world had some truly massive dinosaurs, and the largest of them were in the group Sauropodomorpha.1 Within this group were titanosaurs, which include the gigantic Argentinosaurus that is estimated to have weighed over 100 tons. Not only were the titanosaurs the largest dinosaurs, but they also had a unique design showing “a characteristic ‘wide-gauge’ limb posture, in which the forelimbs and... More...
The Flood was both sudden and rapid. The burial of creatures—including delicate plants and soft-bodied animals like jellyfish1—occasionally resulted in amazing preservation.2
Parasites are a sad fact of life ever since the Fall and Curse thousands of years ago.3 Like jellyfish, they have been found ensconced in sedimentary rocks.
Scientists recently made a significant discov... More...
