Most people say that evolution is true, so why do a growing number of conventional scientists doubt it? These skeptics don’t question evolution’s premise that nature alone is somehow responsible for crafting creatures out of stardust. The debate centers on how nature might have achieved this incredible feat. Where and how did the first complicated structures (like eyes) arise through natural processes? Indiana … More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham We’ve all seen the illustration—a knuckle-dragging ape follows a hunchbacked hairy man-ape who follows a more erect, but still very hairy, man-ape, who eventually follows modern man, dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase to his meeting. This apes-to-man illustration is popularly used to show people the supposed evolutionary transition from ape-like to modern man. But is this “march of progress” accurate, even by evolutionary standards? Well, according to a recent article, this is one of the misconceptions many people have of evolutionary biology (and a reason creationists should not use the argument, “if humans evolved

By Ken Ham Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is an internationally famous icon. The colorful corals, variety of creatures, and undulating waves make a massive, jaw-droppingly beautiful environment that can even be viewed from space. Now, environmental activists have been saying for decades that the reef is on the edge of collapse, but—defying their predictions—the reef just had a record growth year. According to reports, Coral cover on two-thirds of the iconic reef, which is seen as a bellwether of ocean health, has reached its highest level since records began 36 years ago. Now this seems like it should be good

By Ken Ham When did humans first settle North America? According to the most common evolutionary view, this supposedly happened 16,000 years ago. But a new find of a mammoth tusk and bashed-in skull at an ancient butchering site in New Mexico is challenging this view and pushing the date back to 37,000 years. Of course, in a biblical worldview we know that both of these dates are not correct—so when did Native Americans first arrive? Let’s consider how biblical history can provide some boundaries for when this might have happened. God created everything in six days, finishing with the

As any dog owner will tell you, the smelling ability of Rover is incredible.1 Surprisingly, however, “little is known about the structure of their olfactory [smelling] system.”2 And what scientists do know about the anatomy and biochemistry of olfaction points clearly to creation.3 But now, using a brain map, researchers have connected olfaction to thought and reasoning centers in dogs.&… More… …read more Source: icr.org

A new discovery in Morocco’s Saharan Desert has evolutionary scientists making claims that plesiosaurs lived in freshwater too.1 Usually thought of as marine reptiles, plesiosaurs have been found on nearly every continent. Most are found within rock layers containing other marine organisms, but these were found in rocks with dinosaurs. Could the global Flood provide a better explanation? Scientists from the Univers… More… …read more Source: icr.org

Anthropologists Thomas Urban (Cornell University) and Daron Duke (Far Western Anthropological Research Group) recently found preserved human footprints on an Air Force testing range located on the salt flats of Utah.1 These footprints are called “ghost tracks” because they are very hard to see except after rainfall when moisture can make them visible. Ground-penetrating radar revealed the presence of even more impressions f… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham God’s creation is astounding—and the more we study it, the more marvelous we realize that it is! And I was reminded of this recently when I saw a news item highlighting a research paper that announced the discovery of “bees of the sea”: small crustaceans (Idotea balthica) that can pollinate red seaweed (a type of algae)—that’s right, underwater pollinators! As the tiny crustaceans move about the alga, they transfer spermatia (the algae version of sperm) from one seaweed to the next, like a bee transfers pollen between flowers. In return, the crustaceans enjoy a safe place to

Wasps (Family Vespidae) have a bad rap, but their benefits actually outweigh their painful sting—although many would disagree! What is the function of these creatures? To begin with, they’re more interested in attacking insect pests than you, and they pollinate plants. Entomologists have discovered powerful antibiotics in their venom,1 and there is also an indication the venom may be used as a possible cancer… More… …read more Source: icr.org
Who doesn’t like to watch the antics of the friendly dolphin? They are classified as Cetaceans (which also includes the porpoise and the whale). Creationists maintain cetaceans have always been cetaceans while evolutionists have a strange hypothesis regarding their origin. They suggest millions of years ago marine mammals evolved from land mammals called even-toed ungulates (artiodactyls) and are related to the tiny mouse-dee… More… …read more Source: icr.org

Some recent science news stories have come out describing fossils of insects feeding on plants supposedly many “millions of years ago.” What is amazing is the fossil plants and insects are just like the ones we find alive today.1 All that is different are the grossly inflated evolutionary ages (‘deep evolutionary time’) unnecessarily forced on them. These fossils are interesting because there is no evolution doc… More… …read more Source: icr.org
Now this is exciting: “Geologists have found the fossil of the earliest known animal predator. The 560-million-year-old specimen is the first of its kind, but it is related to a group of animals that includes corals, jellyfish and [sea] anemones living on the planet today.”1 This particular group of invertebrates is called the Cnidaria, pronounced ‘nye-DARE-ee-uh.’ Their bodies often contain a jel… More… …read more Source: icr.org
