Where did spiders (arachnids) come from? What was their origin? Clearly, the fossil record shows spiders have always been spiders1,2 along with other chelicerates (a subphylum of the arthropods).

A team of German planetary scientists has concluded that a three-kilometer-thick northern polar ice cap on Mars has a “surprisingly young” age of between 2 and 12 million years.1,2 This age is much younger than uniformitarian age estimates for any other large feature on the red planet1 and is consistent with other clues suggesting that Mars is relatively young, not billions of years old.
As an ic... More...
Scientists will probably never fully understand photosynthesis as additional research uncovers even more fascinating mysteries.1,2 ICR’s Dr. Jeffery Tomkins gives an overview of this incredible biochemical procedure:
Photosynthesis is a highly complex process in plants that produces carbohydrates from water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight using a light-to-electron energy conversion proces... More...
Barring cloud cover, about 75% of the country saw the total lunar eclipse, aka the “Blood Worm Moon.” Texas had good weather conditions for last night’s display, as did the lower Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and a portion of the Central Plains.
In a lunar eclipse, the shadow of Earth blocks most of the light that illuminates the surface of our moon. This eclipse began at 11:26 p.m. (PST) on Thursday, March 13,... More...
