What was the pitch that covered the Ark? Many have wondered what this could have been. Was it oil or some type of tree resin? A newly discovered Roman shipwreck has revived this debate. But this time, maybe it offers a resolution.
Numerous critics of young earth creationists argue that the pitch used to cover the Ark was a crude oil product. Evolutionary geologist David Montgomery goes so far as to claim oil and sedimentary rocks... More...
A small and interesting plant-eating reptile called Lystrosaurus is in the news recently because it was found to have laid eggs (as reptiles do). So what’s interesting about that? Well, conventional scientists claim Lystrosaurus is a 250-million-year-old mammal ancestor called a synapsid.1 They see this discovery as an exciting evolutionary development in the process of reptiles evolving into mammals. But a cl... More...
New species are often presented as proof that life is evolving. But they instead show how life was designed to diversify from the start. A recent deep-sea study reports 24 new amphipod species and even proposes a new “superfamily.”1 Conventional scientists say this discovery adds a new branch to the tree of life. Yet the real issue with this is not naming new groups—it is explaining the species’ origin. Th... More...
Amazing tiny chloroplasts found within equally incredible plant cells continue to reveal the detailed workmanship of the Creator who created plants on Day 4 of creation.1–3 But evolutionary theory removes God: “Every plant cell is the product of a biological merger billions of years ago.”4
Conventional scientists claim that chloroplasts, “key structures in [plant cells] and algae that... More...
Recently, an update on the Whopper Sand in the Gulf of America (Mexico) was published in the oil field trade magazine, AAPG Explorer.1 New oil drilling has found it to be thicker and more extensive than first thought.2–4
ICR described the initial discovery of this massive sand in 2001:
The Whopper Sand was first discovered about 200 miles off the coast in ... More...
A small fossil reptile with strange and intricate skin outgrowths has been discovered that is forcing evolutionists to once again reexamine their understanding of reptile-to-bird, scale-to-feather evolution.1 Allegedly 247 million years old, Mirasaura grauvogeli isn’t a dinosaur but a diapsid—an amniote (mammal, bird, or reptile) in which the skull has two pairs of temporal openings. It was discovered in 2019 i... More...
It is generally assumed by the vast majority of conventional scientists that an asteroid caused the extinction of 75% of all species on Earth, including the dinosaurs, at the K-Pg (Cretaceous-Paleogene) Boundary.1 These extinctions even extended into the marine realm, killing off the ammonites, an animal similar to today’s chambered nautilus. However, new research by an international team of conventional paleontologists, le... More...
A paper was recently published in Science that suggested a lake may have helped carve Grand Canyon.1 This hypothesis has been scattered throughout conventional literature since 1934 but hasn’t become largely accepted.2,3 Those that propose a lake’s involvement, or that of a series of lakes, recognize the need for more water than what the Colorado River alone could provide to remove over 1,000 cubic...
