Two of Jupiter’s four Galilean moons, Io and Ganymede, were recently featured in science news stories—stories that remind us that these moons are problematic for those who believe the solar system is billions of years old.1,2
The four largest of Jupiter’s more than 100 moons are called the Galilean moons, in honor of their discovery by Galileo Galilei. In order of increasing distance from Jupiter, the... More...
A new species of what appears to be a fossil centipede was found in sediments that conventional scientists believe were deposited offshore.1 The problem for them is that the creature had legs for walking on dry land, leaving them to wonder why these animals evolved terrestrial-style “legs while still living underwater.”2
The new fossil, Waukartus muscularis, was found in Wisconsin’s ... More...
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...
