Proof The Bible Is True

The uncanny abilities of the honeybee cause entomologists to shake their heads in wonder.^1,2

Scientists have long known that honeybees survive on nectar and pollen. More recently, researchers discovered that honeybees have a sophisticated nutritional process that transforms pollen into incredibly well-designed food for their larvae. They also found that honeybees have the ability to detect and correct when the balance ... More...

An organization named Noah’s Ark Scans is investigating a site called Durupinar, almost 20 miles from Mount Ararat in Turkey. Could it contain some remains of Noah’s Ark? The group’s founder, Andrew Jones, said in a press release, “I believe this is Noah’s Ark, that’s why I’m putting the Durupinar site through the most rigorous testing possible.”¹

Most of us are familiar with the narwhal, a bizarre arctic mammal that sports a long, twisted tusk, earning the creature its nickname, the unicorn of the ocean. A cursory glance at the tusk reveals that it twists to the left. But there’s more to this spiraled structure than meets the eye.

Scientists used to think the tusk—which is really a tooth—was simply a straight protrusion that spiraled only to the left. He... More...

Scientists recently found a “jumping gene” in an odd place. An RNA molecule from a tiny predatory bacterium had entered the cells of a very different microbe.¹ Some reports said this could help genes spread between species.² But the study did not show a new genetic system forming. It showed an existing system moving genetic material from one cell to another.

A spark plug can make a spark, but no one would say a spark plug can build a car. In much the same way, a chemical reaction can do one useful job without creating a living cell. Yet new research in Science Advances suggests that simple chemical reactions may help explain how early life arose.¹ Although the study is valuable, its results point to a key problem: one chemical step does not explain the origin of a complete liv... More...

What if the “ghosts” in our DNA are not lost steps in human evolution? A new Science study found DNA patterns that may point to two unknown human groups. Conventional scientists place these groups deep in the past. But the key finding is simpler: ancient human groups were closely related and could mix with one another.¹ That fits well with a biblical view of one human family.

Your sense of smell involves much more than enjoying a hike through an aromatic pine forest or appreciating delicious foods.^1,2

Our ability to smell is known as olfactory reception, and there’s nothing simple about it. God has equipped us with about 12 million special structures called olfactory receptors.³ These sensors detect a variety of odorants as they enter our nasal passages. As those fragrant m... More...

The Institute for Creation Research (ICR) announced today a strategic handover of its School of Biblical Apologetics (SOBA) educational content to Louisiana Baptist University (LBU), located in Shreveport, Louisiana. As ICR transitions away from offering the SOBA program directly, this partnership ensures that rich, biblically grounded apologetics resources remain accessible to students, pastors, and Christian leaders through LBU for years ... More...

A few tiny fossil teeth have been asked to carry a very large story. Researchers used them to name a new order of marsupials, Keeunamorphia, and to redraw part of Australia’s marsupial family tree.¹ Yet the study did not observe one kind of animal becoming another. Rather, it found small marsupials with working teeth. These teeth had an important function, but their proposed history comes from a model.

What looked like a rainbow had formed a complete circle around the sun. The ring was pale, bright, and almost perfectly round. But it was not a rainbow at all—it was actually a 22-degree solar halo. This brief, beautiful display tells us that precise geometry and dependable physical laws can turn countless tiny ice crystals into visible order and beauty.

Solar halos often form in thin cirrus or cirrostratus (wispy and thin)... More...

According to the evolutionary narrative, life supposedly began as single-celled creatures that slowly became multicellular animals and plants. Through time, these evolved into a plethora of marine invertebrates (animals without a backbone), such as trilobites and sea stars. Over many more millions of years, invertebrates evolved into the first vertebrates—the fish. From these came amphibians like frogs, and eventually, fully terrestri... More...

Bumblebees got rhythm!

Rhythm is the “movement, fluctuation, or variation marked by the regular recurrence or natural flow of related elements.”¹ People have the ability to dance and sing. Since grade school, we have been taught to recognize rhythm that underpins dance, speech, and music.

But zoologists have found that some birds and mammals can also perceive abstract rhythm (such as the ultrason... More...

Who would have thought that an extremely energy-efficient 3D camera is in a large part due to a tiny jumping spider?

Engineers at Northwestern University wanted to create a “depth sensor that could be used in resource-constrained situations where users don’t have unlimited access to power.”¹ To put together this special camera, they turned to the jumping spider for design inspiration.

A male daddy longlegs may spend days guarding a cluster of eggs. He cleans them and drives away threats.¹ A new study says this type of parental care arose many times through evolution.² A report from the Linnean Society of London describes the research as helping explain the “origins of fatherhood.”³ Yet the study did not observe fatherhood coming into existence. Instead, it documented creatures... More...

Could an asteroid impact really spark life? A recent AGU Advances paper says early asteroid impacts might have cracked Earth’s crust and made large hot-water systems where life could have begun.¹ But the main problem remains: the study gives a possible opportunity for chemistry to happen, but it doesn’t show how dead chemicals made the coded systems needed for life.

The paper simply suggests large im... More...

Imagine an intersection where the red stop sign suddenly means, “Right turn only.” Most drivers wouldn’t reach their destinations efficiently or safely if their traffic signs changed meaning. Yet inside one tiny pond organism, something similar is happening—and the system still operates.

Conventional scientists recently studied a microscopic ciliate called Oligohymenophorea sp. PL0344 and found that... More...

Paleontologists recently rediscovered the largest known set of vertebrae from the giant fossil shark Otodus megalodon, popularized by The Meg movies as a hungry, gigantic man-eating version of the great white shark.^1,2 These fossils were lost until recently, where they were found in one of the collections at the Natural History Museum of Denmark. The substantial size of the vertebrae and their associated growth band... More...

The prestigious journal Science has published evidence that a planet orbiting a red dwarf star has an atmosphere.^1,2 This extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, is located 48 light-years from Earth and has been given the designation LHS 1140b, because it is the first exoplanet discovered around the star LHS 1140 (the designation “a” is reserved for the exoplanet’s host star). Biblical creationists should be exc... More...

Over 60 years ago, conventional scientists taught that Neanderthals were slouching, subhuman brutes—just another evolutionary link bridging the gap between animals and people. But recent research calls such a claim into question once again.

According to evolutionary theory, Neanderthals lived 34,000 to 400,000 years ago, but creationists would say they lived only about 4,000 years ago, shortly after the Flood (early Ice Age... More...

According to evolutionary theory, fish went through a variety of forms until they evolved into the fish we see swimming today. Recently, what conventional scientists would ordinarily consider as a primitive fish was discovered in a fossil deposit in Cleveland.¹ But the uniqueness of the fish has left them scratching their heads about its origins and its actual place in history.

A pile of metal, wires, and computer chips will not assemble itself into a working airplane. The parts may have useful properties, but they still need plans, controls, and an ordered process of assembly as well as someone to assemble them all. The same problem applies to claims about the origin of life. Researcher Yongdong Jin has proposed that tiny mineral particles, called nanozymes, may have helped life arise on what conventional scienti... More...

When conventional scientists call a fossil an early step in animal evolution, the claim may rest more on a reading of the fossil than on the fossil itself. In a new study, sharper images revealed that what had been identified as animal trails were actually fossilized microbes.¹

The study reexamined tiny fossils from Brazil’s Tamengo Formation. Earlier work had treated some marks on the fossils as burrows made by ... More...

Conventional scientists have been baffled for many years by the small arms of Tyrannosaurus rex. To many, they just seem disproportionately small compared to other theropod dinosaur arms. The question is often asked: What use could these tiny arms be for such a large predator? A recent study claims to have solved this enduring enigma.¹ And yet, a simple visit to a playground teeter-totter would have likely saved them a lot... More...

Every Fourth of July, Americans celebrate freedom with flags, fireworks, and familiar words, such as this line from the Declaration of Independence, “All men . . . are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.” This foundational American document thus begins with a truth about humanity: all people should enjoy freedom because of their God-given rights and worth in their Creator’s eyes.
