Half a century ago, Nobel Prize winning biologist Sir Peter Medawar made a startling comment. He declared that the survival of a child in a mother’s womb contradicted immunological laws. Since the immune system normally detects foreign tissue and attacks it you’d expect the immune system to attack the genetically distinct child within her. Well, we now know that it actually does but the baby survives by putting up a very specific defense. Researchers at the medical college of Georgia discovered that mammalian embryos produce a special enzyme that suppresses the mother’s killer T-cell action. The human embryo starts to

Have the continents moved apart? If so, when? Creationist Antonio Snider, the first person to publish on continental drift proposed that the continents separated during the Flood. Today his original idea is backed by cutting-edge computer modelling. The Creation Magazine LIVE! TV program is a ministry of Creation Ministries International. With offices in seven countries and more PhD scientists than any Christian organization this program features cutting edge science that supports the Bible delivered in a non-technical, visually-rich, discussion-based format.

Some say that that there really isn’t a standard for interpreting the Bible and that all interpretations are simply the creation of man. But if that’s true then how can we know anything in the Bible for certain? Is there a universal way that the Bible should be read, and if so, what is it?

How did sex originate? That is Question 8 in CMI’s ’15 Questions for Evolutionists’ flyer at the focus of this episode of Genesis Unleashed. Asexual reproduction gives up to twice as much reproductive success (‘fitness’) for the same resources as sexual reproduction, so how could the latter ever gain enough advantage to be selected? And how could mere physics and chemistry invent the complementary apparatuses needed at the same time.

The final question in CMI’s ’15 Questions for Evolutionists’ flyer asks why evolution, a primarily religious idea about history is being taught as science. Science involves observing how things work in the present, not speculating about origins. So neither creation nor evolution are strictly “scientific”.

What is something computers and humans have in common which constantly needs upgrading in computers but not in humans? The answer is software. You might not have realized that you have software but inside the nucleus of each of your cells a program is written in the form of three billion DNA letters. Intelligent programmers write computer software but what about living things? Evolutionists tell us that the information in the first living cell just appeared by itself, with no intelligent input required. But is that possible? The answer is a resounding no. Even one of Australia’s best known scientists,

Many claim that our eye’s retinas are wired backwards. Thus, they say, our eyes could not have been specially designed, because an intelligent creator would have wired them correctly. But this claim doesn’t make sense, after all, octopus retinas are wired in the supposedly correct way but their sight is poor compared to ours. Ophthalmologist Dr Peter Gurney has shown there are good reasons our eyes are wired the way they are. In particular, it allows our photoreceptors to be in close contact with two special tissues necessary for regenerating the photoreceptors and absorbing excess heat. But these tissues are

Did you hear about the whale that exploded? In 2001 a dead whale floating off the coast of South Australia did just that. Authorities became worried because people who’d ferried out to the whale in charter boats where standing on the whale’s carcass while white pointer sharks tore at the whale’s flesh. They called in the police bomb squad to sink it, but after detonating three explosives inside the whale’s belly it still refused to sink. Many people think that when a fish or whale dies it sinks to the bottom of the ocean where it gradually gets covered by

Question 6 in CMI’s ’15 Questions for Evolutionists’ flyer focuses on the fact that one of the greatest challenges for evolutionists is that living things show too much design!
