More than just an oxymoron, this meaningless term is another example of the mental gymnastics required to force-fit scientific discoveries into evolutionary history. In this episode Richard Fangrad and Calvin Smith discuss why this term is being applied to “living fossils”: fossils that are supposedly millions of years old but are virtually identical to the modern living organism.

What do mice and fruit flies have in common? On the surface, you’d not think much, but geneticists have discovered that some of their genes are practically identical. Discoveries like this are often touted as proof of evolution because the similar genes supposedly show that mice and fruit flies are related. But evolutionary scientists did not predict this. Genetics professor Sean Caroll confessed, “No biologist had even the foggiest notion that such similarities could exist between genes of such different animals.” According to evolutionists, mice and fruit flies last shared a common ancestor over six hundred million years ago, therefore [More]
Many people are under the mistaken impression that people from different racial backgrounds have big differences in their DNA instructions. But this is not the case. The entire human race has an incredibly low level of genetic variety. Some biologists have remarked that if you sequenced the DNA instruction of two humans on opposite sides of the globe they’d have less change in their DNA than two chimps on the same mountain in Africa. These discoveries have profound implications. Since the human race has relatively low genetic variety that means it must have originated recently. The racial groups have not [More]

Richard Fangrad and Calvin Smith explain this “ingenious trick” that even Richard Dawkins calls “truly wonderful and probably unique”.

In 1923, American Microscopist, Theophilus Painter, announced to the world that humans had 48 chromosomes. This number was repeated like a mantra for several decades until plant cytologist, Albert Levan, announced in 1956 that it was wrong. The actual number is 46. The wrong information, repeated frequently enough often becomes accepted as fact. This is known as reinforcement syndrome. Many eminent scientists accepted that humans had 48 chromosomes, even if their microscopes said otherwise. The same thing has happened with the supposed extinction of dinosaurs 65-million years ago. Much evidence suggests it’s wrong, like historical accounts of dragons that sound [More]

According to Skeptics, one of the characteristics of a pseudo-scientific theory is that it contradicts a known scientific law. For instance, in biology, we have the law of biogenesis, which states that life only comes from life. Ironically, though, many self-professed Skeptics ignore this scientific law when it comes to the origin of life. According to evolutionary theory, all life on earth can be traced back to a single-celled organism, which itself arose from non-living chemicals. But this is a clear contradiction of the law of biogenesis. And not surprisingly, so far, scientists have been unable to validate this belief. [More]

Research in recent years by leading (evolutionist) geneticists has revealed catastrophically high mutation rates in humans. This would be a good thing if mutations really cause upward evolution. Instead the human race is plunging toward extinction. Based on data from genetics humans could not have been evolving for millions of years, we would already be extinct.

Scientists studying fossil ‘sea spiders’ from ‘Jurassic’ rock found they are just the same as today’s sea spiders. By evolutionary reckoning, that’s no change in 160 million years. In that supposed time, evolutionists say, most of the dinosaurs, birds, many fish and virtually all mammals have evolved—all by natural processes. From finches to albatrosses, and mice to elephants—they all made themselves by evolutionary processes. They also say most of the flowering plants evolved too. And yet the sea spiders haven’t changed in all that time! Curious isn’t it? The Bible tells us in Genesis chapter 1 that God created plants [More]
If Arnold Schwarzenegger had a pet cow, I can almost guarantee it would be a Belgian Blue. These cows are incredibly muscled and have very little fat. Many people think of this breed as evolution in action—because a mutation in its DNA has brought about a supposed improvement. But if microbes really did turn into Belgian Blue cows—which is what evolution teaches—this would require the addition of lots of new DNA information to turn the relatively simple genome of a bacteria into the vastly more complicated genome of a cow. However, in the case of Belgian Blue cows, we see [More]
Dogs vary greatly in size, from Chihuahua to Great Dane, yet they are all part of the dog, or wolf, created kind; they can all interbreed. Researchers have found that the small breeds of dogs all have something in common, a mutation in the gene that codes for an important growth regulator. This prevents the small dogs from growing to greater size. Mutations do that sort of thing, they destroy genetic information. Sometimes those destructions are useful to us, producing cute miniature dogs that don’t cost that much to feed. But mutations can’t produce the complex information needed to produce [More]
Is the human genome full of parasites? This might seem like a ridiculous question but some researchers suggest that it is. The human genome project revealed a large number of transposable elements. These DNA segments copy themselves and move around the genome. Some scientists claim they serve no function and have dismissed them as parasitic DNA. Some evolutionary scientists claim that similarities with chimps in these supposedly useless bits prove evolution. But new research shows they have functions. One study revealed that transposable elements activate during embryo development in mice, to control gene expression. Another study revealed they activate in [More]
It’s often claimed that evolution is simply change over time. And since change over time can be seen everywhere, then evolution is obviously true. But highly trained creation scientists say there is much more to it than that. For evolution to have turned particles into people a special type of change is needed. That is naturally occurring change that adds new genetic instructions. No one has seen this special kind of change happen, Darwin’s Finches, peppered moths and adapting bacteria are all examples of naturally occurring change but none of them adds new genetic instructions. Not one of them adds [More]
In some parts of Africa, it is actually an advantage to have mutated, oddly-shaped red blood cells. This condition, known as sickle cell anemia, is usually a disadvantage, but, ironically, it can actually help protect someone from malarial infection because a sickled red blood cell is less appetizing for the malaria parasite. Many people mistakenly view this sort of change as an example of evolution in action—because a mutation in DNA has made people better adapted to their environment. But if microbes really did turn into mankind—which is what evolution teaches—this would require the addition of new DNA information to [More]
In nature documentaries and science text books, one often hears about creatures that arrived at their body plan very early in evolutionary history and have not made any real changes since that time, supposedly millions of years ago. These are called ‘living fossils’—like the coelacanth and the Wollemi pine. This phenomenon is known as stasis, things staying pretty much the same. And it turns out that pretty much every animal in the entire fossil record appears suddenly and shows this same history of stasis. This was not predicted by evolution! A more recent and radical theory called “Punctuated Equilibrium” recognises [More]
