Astronomers recently detected an enormous but short-lived increase in radiation from the nearby star Proxima Centauri.1,2 This radiation burst, known as a flare, caused the star to become a thousand times brighter for ten seconds. Our sun also has flares, but those flares are much smaller. At the time of its peak brightness, the Proxima Centauri flare was ten times brighter (in the measured wavelengths) than even the largest flares emi… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Dr. Alan Gillen Effects of horizontal gene transfer, seen from the viewpoint of diversity analysis of bacterial lineages, may seem a rather abstruse topic. Yet horizontal gene transfer among bacteria usually has immediate, practical effects on human health. …read more Source: AIG Daily
By Ken Ham According to a recent study, there’s been a minor tweak in the evolutionary story of the early evolution of life. Photosynthesis, the process by which plants, algae, and some microbes produce oxygen, might have evolved a billion years earlier than previously thought, and faster too. Linear calculations put the origin of photosynthesis older than the earth itself! Yep, just a minor tweak! The original evolutionary story went this way: cyanobacteria were the first life to produce oxygen. Since there was no oxygen before these microbes started making it, oxygen wasn’t available until about 2.7 billion years ago,

A conclusion does not prove the premises are true. That is, if the answer is “four,” we could arrive at that any number of ways: 2 + 2, 5 – 1, etc. In the same way, evolutionists often assume that since certain species or traits exist, this is proof of evolution because that’s how it must have happened. …read more Source: AIG Daily
By Dr. Danny R. Faulkner Many recent creationists appear to oppose the Hubble relation, the expansion of the universe, and/or cosmological redshifts of quasars. The rejection of these topics by many creationists appears to be motivated by fear of possible evolutionary implications. …read more Source: AIG Daily
By Ken Ham A few weeks ago, news headlines around the world proclaimed that the oldest known “Briton” (by secular dating methods) was dark-skinned, according to genetic analysis (which was done for a TV documentary). But now new headlines are calling this pronouncement into question. These new reports are more tentative, stating that the results weren’t absolutely conclusive and that new research has shown even more genes than we thought are responsible for skin shade. It goes on to say that, even with current technology, we really can’t tell the shade of an ancient person’s skin yet, especially considering how

In the animal kingdom, many types of creatures use stereo vision to determine the distances between them and visible objects. In humans, each of our eyes records a slightly different version of what is observed. These two different views are then accurately merged in our brains to produce a single image—computationally using the differences between the two images to allow us to visually gauge depth and distance. This process, referred… More… …read more Source: icr.org
Earth’s iron-nickel core has a solid inner layer and a liquid outer layer. A recent paper presents a huge dilemma for naturalistic explanations of Earth’s origin. Earth’s solid inner core shouldn’t exist!1 Secular scientists had long assumed the inner core was initially in a liquid state but that lower temperatures caused the liquid at the center to begin to solidify. Supposedly the solid… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Dr. Nathaniel T.

But how did this new species form? In a manner consistent with evolution? Or with YEC? …read more Source: AIG Daily
By Ken Ham It seems that every other month there’s another article about a new moon-formation hypothesis. This month it’s that “the moon may have formed in a vaporised, doughnut-shaped Earth.” This new model suggests that 4.5 billion years ago something collided with earth, causing it to mushroom out into a “seething, spinning cloud of vaporised rock that resembled a squished jelly doughnut.” Then, within earth’s “puffy edges,” our moon formed. This new model comes from computer simulations of the supposed early earth. These simulations showed a post-collision, shape-shifting early earth, which was a “previously unrecognised planetary structure.” The researcher

By Ken Ham As we’ve reported numerous times on our site, scientists have observed lizards evolving into lizards, salmon evolving into salmon, moths into moths, mice into mice, bedbugs into bedbugs; and more lizards into lizards! I must admit, the evidence that organisms evolve into organisms like themselves is pretty overwhelming! Of course, I say that tongue-in-cheek, but examples of adaptation, speciation, and natural selection are used over and over again as evidence for molecules-to-man evolution—but they’re not! What they really show are examples of what God’s Word teaches—everything reproduces according to their kinds. Lizards produce lizards, salmon …read more

Dr. Christopher Gardner, director of nutrition studies at the Stanford Prevention Research Center, and his colleagues conducted a study on 609 overweight and obese adults living in San Francisco’s Bay Area. Nutritionists coached the adults not to bother with counting calories. They should eat until they felt full, but eat plenty of vegetables and whole foods. The study results held a few surprises. First, the study pa… More… …read more Source: icr.org

The theory of plate tectonics recently turned fifty. Contrary to the claims of its critics, the theory of plate tectonics is derived from empirical data collected over many decades by geologists and geophysicists.1 In the early 20th century, Alfred Wegener studied the shapes of the continents, matched fossils and mountain ranges across vast oceans, and suggested that the continents had drifted apart. At the time… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Troy Lacey Researchers found that sexual size dimorphism may be limiting South American lizards’ speciation. Males and females of the same species may be filling ecological niches usually filled by separate species. Is this an example of evolution in action or a designed adaptive feature input into the lizard kind’s genome? …read more Source: AIG Daily
By Dr. Nathaniel T.

The planaria, a type of flatworm, has an amazing capacity to regenerate a new body from just fragments of tissue. Its genome has just been sequenced. The surprising result is a completely unexpected evolutionary conundrum.
