"By the breath of God ice is given,
And the broad waters are frozen.
Also with moisture He saturates the thick clouds;
He scatters His bright clouds."

Southwestern Wyoming contains one of the most unique fossil sites in the world—Fossil Butte National Monument. Located about 11 miles west of Kemmerer, it was established as a national monument on October 23, 1972.1 The park encompasses about 13 square miles and contains several buttes, or flat-topped hills. These landforms expose a rock layer known as the Green River Formation (GRF) and its diverse fossil assemblage, often called a Lagerstätte.2 The GRF is best known for its fish fossils, but it includes many other fossil types as well. Most of these fossils are found in the Fossil Butte Member, a section

Both before and after the Flood, the Bible attests that centuries-long life spans were normal. Skeptics scoff at these great ages, and even some Christians say we simply cannot take them at face value.1 Is there evidence for this extreme longevity?

Beavers shouldn’t talk to humans. That obvious fact was highlighted in the movie adaptation of C. S. Lewis’ classic fantasy The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.1 Fairly early in the film, the four Pevensie siblings meet a beaver that talks to them. Oldest brother Peter says the beaver claims to know a certain faun. Oldest sister Susan replies, “He’s a beaver! He shouldn’t be saying anything!” If something doesn’t make sense—like a talking beaver—that might indicate that a story is just fiction. And when the tale told is an evolutionary story, it doesn’t make sense because it’s just science fiction.

In a previous article, I explained how epigenetic mechanisms regulate the structure and function of DNA.1 Specifically, I showed how small molecules can be attached to the DNA itself or added to the histone proteins that the DNA is packaged with. These are known as DNA methylation or histone modifications, respectively. The modifications are monitored and performed dynamically according to the needs of the cell and adaptively in response to environmental changes. Furthermore, these epigenetic modifications can be heritable to give the organism’s offspring an adaptive advantage. Read More: Small Heritable RNAs Pack a Big Adaptive Punch | The Institute for

The Institute for Creation Research had a fantastic year advancing creation science in 2023! It’s my joy to continue the tradition of our founder, Dr. Henry M. Morris, in using the first Acts & Facts 2024 issue to recount ICR’s major activities and blessings from the past year. I trust you’ll be excited to see the hand of the Lord Jesus empowering our progress. All credit belongs to Him, and together we can thank Him for His abiding presence and the many good things He’s done. A year ago, I discussed the new ICR logo, Digital Media department, construction for the ICR

Can the creation message be used as an apologetic tool? Or is it an unimportant piece of the Bible in the grand scheme of things? Does it have value when it comes to the Gospel? Hosts Trey and Lauren are joined by Dr. Mark Stengler Sr. and Mark Stengler Jr. to discuss these questions and more in episode 20 of Creation.Live.

Hummingbirds are the hovering helicopters of the bird world, able to fly sideways and backward, as well as up and down, all the while keeping their torsos virtually stationary.

As we reported elsewhere1, a 2019 Gallup poll revealed that the number of young Earth creationists in the United States is roughly 40%. More people in America are young Earth creationists than theistic evolutionists (33%), but the number of young Earth creationists is declining. Should Christians be concerned about the teaching of theistic evolution and an old Earth? For decades, Apologetics Press has documented the dangers of evolutionary thinking being widespread in a society2 and in the Church.3 Indeed, it seems clear that belief in theistic evolution can have a tendency to erode one’s confidence in a straightforward reading of the biblical

I don’t know about you, but I dread eating salad for lunch. I know, I know. It’s super healthy. I’m just not crazy about vegetables. Strawberries, pineapples, watermelon? Yes, please! Cauliflower? Makes me want to run and hide under my desk. But maybe I’ve been misjudging those leafy greens in the vegetable aisle. The other day, I came across this fascinating article in Amusing Planet about the geometry of plants. Read More: God, the Geometry Genius – Guideposts
The plethora of diversity in nature is astonishing, and it is also eye-opening how each special characteristic demonstrates God’s creativity and power. We get a glimpse of God’s unique designs when we undertake the study of turtles, categorized under class Reptilia (where snakes, crocodiles, and lizards are found) in the order Testudines. Within that order, there are three basic divisions: sea turtles, tortoises, and freshwater turtles. Read More: Decisive Evidence of Design in Turtles – Apologetics Press

What is the most valuable substance in the world? You might be thinking of gold or silver. Maybe you thought about platinum. Diamonds and precious gems are very valuable as well. But all those materials are not as valuable as water. You might be thinking, how can that be right? Water is one of the least expensive materials on planet Earth and one of the easiest to get. In fact, about 70% of the entire globe is covered in water. The human body is composed of about 65% water. How can water be so valuable if there is so

The tallest land animal today is the remarkable giraffe. With its overall height, thin legs, and long tongue, this wonder of creation shows some amazing designs. How does the giraffe’s circulatory system account for its head being 8 feet above its heart when standing upright, but then several feet below its heart while taking a drink? While evolution must rely on random mutations and chance processes, the finely-tuned anatomy of the giraffe provides evidence of intelligence–demanding a designer Watch: Wonders of Creation: Giraffes – Apologetics Press
