Within the past 20 years or so, dozens of papers have been written regarding the human microbiome. Microbiota inhabit a variety of niches in the human body, with the gut being the primary location. Remarkably, “The human gut has the highest known cell densities of any microbial habitat on Earth.”1 The number of microbiome cells number into the trillions for a single person.

By Ken Ham It’s becoming increasingly common to meet Christians, especially leaders in Bible colleges and seminaries, who reject the historicity of Adam and Eve. One popular view, espoused by well-known scientist Dr. Francis Collins and others, is that Adam and Eve were just representatives of a collective of 10,000 hominins (that is, if they even existed at all). Yet this kind of thinking is far from the biblical view of the first humans. Scripture hinges our current sin-bound state on the sin of the first man, Adam: Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and

By Ken Ham Zebrafish are one of the most commonly used research animals in the world—the lab rats, if you will, of the fish world—and various scientific studies use them for a wide variety of purposes. Because of their frequent use, zebrafish often show up as part of evolutionary research, including a recent study comparing their scales to hair and feathers. This particular study looked at the molecular mechanisms of scale development in zebrafish, something that had been relatively overlooked until now. The article begins with the statement, When sea creatures first began crawling and slithering onto land about 385

By Ken Ham Are we living in a new geologic age? Recently, geologists announced a name for the geologic age we live in: the Meghalayan Age. This new age is supposed to have begun 4,250 years ago. In the announcement, geologists also named two other ages, both older. This further divides up earth’s supposed 4.5 billion year history into various lengths of time. These geologists naming these ages are making a critical assumption. They’re assuming millions of years of earth’s history. This newest and most recent age, the Meghalayan Age, is based on oxygen isotopes found in stalagmites in an

“These are, high, high, highly intelligent creatures,” said conservation biologist Reese Halter.1 Halter was speaking of the fascinating bee. Bees are already famous regarding their ability to communicate with other bees through complex dancing routines. Halter’s team also found that bees have puzzle-solving abilities. In 2006, scientists were amazed to discover that bees have a biological clock. … More… …read more Source: icr.org

For decades, creation scientists have debated the level at which the Flood ended in the rock record. In the past, many have based their conclusions on a cursory examination of the rocks, or concentrated only on the strata across the American West. Most agree that the Flood/post-Flood boundary is at one of two levels: 1) at the top of the Cretaceous system, known as the K-Pg (K-T) horizon,1,2 or 2) at or nea… More… …read more Source: icr.org

For many decades, creation scientists have included the Sixtymile Formation in Grand Canyon as part of the Sauk Megasequence that marks the onset of the global Flood.1 They based their conclusions on empirical data contained within the rock unit itself. And now, the secular geological community has arrived at a similar conclusion.2 Stopping short of admitting the possibility of a global Flood, Ka… More… …read more Source: icr.org
Secular scientists have a difficult time explaining an Ice Age, even though there is strong geological evidence that one occurred. In fact, creation scientists have long argued that the Genesis Flood is a vastly superior mechanism for explaining an Ice Age.1 Creation scientists have long argued that t… More… …read more Source: icr.org
Certain evolutionary scientists have talked of Lucy since the 1970s as a supposed ape-like ancestor of humans. It’s probably the world’s most famous extinct ape. The Lucy kind was roughly the size and shape of a chimpanzee. Scientists recently described a tiny foot from a toddler of this extinct species. But this foot looks like an ape’s, which clearly clashes with the LiveScience article title, “Ancient Hum… More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham If someone dropped you off in an inhospitable environment, would you be able to survive using only what you could find around you? Well, if you have a basic knowledge of wilderness survival and what is safe to eat (and what’s not), you might be able to. But what you leave behind is going to look “primitive” by modern standards. Does this mean you aren’t intelligent? Of course not! It simply means you had to survive with what you had. And this is true for our relatives, Neanderthals. Yes, they were our relatives, but not in the

A team of researchers from Israel and the U.S. are searching for animals that can edit their own RNA molecules. They encountered a standout. Unlike other animals that edit only a small fraction of the RNA that spells out protein sequences, squid cells edit their RNA by the bushel. The team described their results in 2015. Since then, they have dived deeper to look for more answers. Along the way, they stumbled over a difficult question that… More… …read more Source: icr.org
