Three scientists were awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for uncovering how human cells repair their own DNA. DNA repair mechanisms keep us alive, and understanding them undergirds a fuller comprehension of how cells work and fend off the disastrous consequences of too many mutations. The research of these three men implies that cells have always used DNA repair mechanisms, thus uncovering evolutionary mysteries that have not yet found sensible solutions.

By Ken Ham Recently, Business Insider published a short video on its website called “How scientists discovered an ancient fish that went extinct 65 million years ago.” Now, this story is an old one—the fish was discovered in the 1930s. But it was the find of the century at the time and is still an amazing discovery today. The fish is known as the coelacanth (SEE-la-canth). It has thick scales and lobed fins, and it appears throughout the fossil record in rock layers that are typically dated from around 340 million years until its last appearance in rock layers laid

How long would inanimate chemicals take to swirl themselves together and form a living cell? This unfair question assumes that such chemicals could ever form themselves into a cell even given an eternity to do so, but recent evidence from tiny crystals in Australian rocks causes researchers to think life evolved much earlier than most scientists would ever have thought possible. However, this new story of early emerging life comes with an array of new challenges. More… …read more Read more here: icr.org

When someone says “ribs,” people immediately think of those organ-protecting bones that wrap around a thorax. Well, cervical ribs are different, and cervical ribs on extinct long-necked dinosaurs were very different. They ran the whole length of certain sauropods’ necks. Each rib attached to a neck vertebra, and each rib stretched across the length of three total vertebrae. Were these cervical ribs an evolutionary happenstance, or did they serve some kind of function as though created on purpose? More… …read more Read more here: icr.org

A New Scientist article1 ponders a baffling enigma to evolutionists—‘living fossils’. These are creatures alive today which are identical to fossilised forms, believed to have lived ‘millions of years ago.’ Examples include the coelacanth fish (fossil coelacanths are believed by evolutionists to be 340 million years old2), Gingko trees (125 million years), crocodiles (140 million years), horseshoe crabs (200 million years), the Lingula lamp shell (450 million years), Neopilina molluscs (500 million years), and the tuatara lizard (200 million years). This poses a conundrum for evolution: ‘Why have these life-forms stayed the same for all that time?’This poses a conundrum

Researchers in Trinidad relocated guppies (Poecilia reticulata) from a waterfall pool teeming with predators to previously guppy-free pools above the falls where there was only one known possible predator (of small guppies only, therefore large guppies would be safe).1 The descendants of the transplanted guppies adjusted to their new circumstances by growing bigger, maturing later, and having fewer and bigger offspring. The speed of these changes bewildered evolutionists, because their standard millions-of-years view is that the guppies would require long periods of time to adapt. One evolutionist said, ‘The guppies adapted to their new environment in a mere four years—a

At the 75th annual meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology, held this year in downtown Dallas, the world’s foremost fossil experts presented scores of research summaries. Amazingly, almost all of these fossil descriptions included phylogenetic (evolutionary) tree diagrams. Today’s paleontologists show a religious-like devotion to fit their finds in an evolutionary tree. And with equally amazing regularity they describe problems with this process of constructing evolutionary trees. Are these problems significant enough to cast doubt on the whole exercise?

New methods using increased precision have allowed mankind to answer a fundamental question: Do other stars have planets? Natural philosophers have pondered this question for centuries. Johannes Kepler imagined beings on other planets in his book, The Dream, considered the first work of science fiction. Today’s scientists are finally able to move from fiction to fact. The answer is: Yes! Other stars do have planets. A follow-up question for creationists (and evolutionists) is: what does it mean for our worldview? Read More: Exoplanets – creation.com

Researchers in the field of astronomy have recently announced what is described to be a ‘truly monstrous’ structure, consisting of a ring of galaxies around 5 billion light-years across. Reported findings show that the seemingly unprecedented galactic ring, which was revealed by nine Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), is located 7 billion light-years away. GRBs are thought to be the result of massive stars collapsing into black holes, ostensibly at the end of the stars’ lives. Because black holes are typically found inside galaxies, astronomers say the ring of GRBs is evidence of a gigantic galaxy ring. Beacons can be used to

‘If Noahs Flood really happened, then why don’t we see any evidence for it?’ a skeptic might ask. In today’s era of mass-media disinformation, this type of question is hurled at Bible-believers daily. The answer is quite simply this: evidence for Noah’s Flood is everywhere, but it is not reported as such by mainstream secular sources. A recent Associated Press article posted on the Guardian website provides us yet another perfect example of how evidence can be hidden in plain sight and presented in a completely dishonest way.

As noted previously,1 there is a subtle connection between the creation-evolution issue and anxiety over ‘global warming’ or ‘climate change’. Thus a biblical worldview helps to guard against alarmism in this area. Another reason for taking a judicious approach toward this issue are ‘gaps’ in our understanding of meteorology: There is a very real possibility that current meteorological and climatological models are not taking into account all the relevant physics. In particular, there is a possibility that cosmic rays could be influencing weather and climate Read More: Cosmic ray weather climate link – creation.com
