Saturn is famous for its beautiful rings, which are composed mostly of water ice particles. A team of scientists recently proposed that the rings were formed from the breakup of a hypothetical moon about 100 million years ago, a moon they have dubbed Chrysalis.1
Because the force of gravity between two objects rapidly increases as the objects move closer together, a planet’s gravity pulls on the near side of a mo... More...
What if so-called rapid evolution is not a process of building something new, but it simply reveals what was already there? A recent peer-reviewed study in Science reports that certain DNA segments, called supergenes, may help cichlid fish adapt quickly through large chromosomal inversions that preserve sets of traits.1 Conventional scientists say this shows evolution can move faster than expected. A related report from <i... More...</i...

According to the fossil record, arthropods—in all their complexity—have always been arthropods.1,2 They belong to the phylum Arthropoda, the largest phylum in the animal kingdom.
The creation model states that if there was a worldwide flood, one would expect bottom-dwelling creatures like arthropods in the ocean to be catastrophically buried first.3 This is indeed the case with aquatic creatures ... More...
What if new species could appear in just a few thousand years? A recent study reports that many new plankton species showed up quickly after the supposed Chicxulub impact—a large asteroid event believed to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. Some of the plankton appeared in less than 2,000 years.1 The study claims this shows fast evolution. But the evidence fits better with rapid change within created kinds, not th... More...
