Astronomers have discovered a Jupiter-sized extrasolar planet (exoplanet) orbiting so close to its host star that it is “perilously close” to the distance where it can be torn apart by gravitational forces.1-3 Astronomers call these planets “hot Jupiters” because they are rather large planets with masses comparable to that of Jupiter, and their nearness to their host stars causes them to … More… …read more Source: icr.org

Cichlid fish are a top biological model for the study of diversification because of their unique ability to adapt to a wide range of lake and river environments. They also produce a startling array of unique traits. For creation scientists, they are particularly interesting because they provide an opportunity to illustrate how creatures are able to track their environments and respond accordingly to produce traits that allow them to succeed… More… …read more Source: icr.org

Scientists claim to have discovered DNA-like molecules inside specialized cells taken from a type of duckbill dinosaur. Could it be actual dino DNA? Some paleontologists remain unconvinced, since DNA lasts only thousands of years before degrading, and dinosaur fossils are supposedly millions of years old. Do their objections make sense? The big picture of Earth history hangs in the balance. Alida Bailleul at the Chinese Aca… More… …read more Source: icr.org
By Ken Ham In a recent news release from the University of Colorado Boulder, researchers claimed to have found evidence suggesting the earth was once a “water world.” They were working in the Panorama district in Northwestern Australia’s outback and had been on the hunt for exposed “ancient” oceanic crust. An outcrop of supposedly 3.2-billion-year-old oceanic crust occurs in this area and was the focus of the research. In other words, they believed that this study showed the earth of 3.2 billion years ago was completely covered by water. Modern seawater has an isotope ratio of 18O to 16O, which

By Ken Ham A team of researchers at Tel Aviv University in Israel decided to take a closer look at a common salmon parasite called Henneguya salminicola to determine how it could survive in low-oxygen salmon muscle tissue. What they found was startling—H. salminicola does not need oxygen at all! While there are single-celled bacteria that don’t need oxygen, this is the first multicellular organism they’ve found that doesn’t utilize oxygen. This parasite is in the same phylum as corals, jellyfish, and anemones, and it even has what looks like typical stinging cells, except H. salminicola doesn’t use them to

It seems obvious that when Britain’s trees were covered in black coal soot during the industrial revolution that the numbers of black-colored peppered moths would increase. But several recent studies indicate that a change to black coloration in creatures in response to pollution, called industrial melanism, may not be directly related to camouflage. Claire Goiran studies marine ecology for the University of … More… …read more Source: icr.org

By Ken Ham A recent popular science article announced that “genes that have evolved from scratch are both more common and more important than previously believed.” These so-called “orphan genes . . . appear to have no relatives and are often responsible for unique characteristics and abilities of organisms.” Of course, evolutionists attribute the existence of such genes to naturalistic evolution. But did brand-new genetic information really evolve? Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson, who earned his PhD in cell and developmental biology from Harvard University, shared this with me about these two new studies: In these studies, evolutionists continued their quest to

Wooly mammoths once roamed North America, northern Europe, and Siberia. Possibly the last of their kind perished as a dwindling population on Wrangel Island, northeast of Siberia. Who wouldn’t wonder why wooly mammoths no longer roam our planet? The process of gathering clues to their extinction can evoke the same feelings found in good mystery novels. New research into ancient DNA gives another solid clue toward two old culprit theor… More… …read more Source: icr.org

Many students are told about how increasing coal soot during Britain’s 18th and 19th century industrial revolution drove the color change observed in black peppered moths. The famous peppered moth story is one of the most persuasive evidences cited in textbooks in support of evolution. But recent genetic findings are raising questions about the accuracy of the scenario told by evolutionists. Students are taught that o… More… …read more Source: icr.org
