We are so grateful for our donors and the fruitful work they allow us to do, and we invite you to join in furthering ICR’s ministry and the gospel through research and t... 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.

Jumpi... More...

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.

People hav... More...

On Tuesday, June 30, the Supreme Court ruled to uphold the rights of West Virginia and Idaho to ban transgender women, who are biological males, from competing in women’s sports. In a ruling that covered both West Virginia v. B. P. J. and Little v. Hecox, the Court decided six to three that neither Title IX nor the Equal Protection Clause are violated by states that do not allow transgender-identifying student athletes t... More...

A butterfly wing may look like painted glass, but beneath its beauty is a living control system. A recent study on South American butterflies and a day-flying moth found a striking theme. Two genes, ivory and optix, help make similar colors in insects that conventional scientists place far apart on the family tree.¹ The study presents this as evidence that evolution has repeated itself. Yet the finding points to a s... More...

Even the smallest living cells face a big design problem. How do they keep the right shape while many parts inside them are moving? A recent study in Science considered this question in regards to a blue-green bacterium called Anabaena.¹ The researchers studied a protein system that helps the cell keep its shape. Conventional scientists call this an example of evolution “repurposing” DNA-moving machinery... More...

The United States of America is officially 250 years old! Most Americans celebrate and thank God for reaching such a milestone. After all, the history of the world’s nations shows that the United States is a relative newcomer. Take England, for example. When the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776 in Philadelphia, England had already been a country for over 800 years.

The preamble of the Declaration of Independen... More...

Cactus flowers have a striking range in size—they can be smaller than a grain of rice or longer than a school ruler. Such variation points to how God designed living things with room to adapt while also placing limits on what they can become.

A recent Biology Letters study reports that cactus groups with faster-changing flowers tend to form new species faster.¹ Jamie Thompson and Chris Venditti studied flo... More...

Can a freezer make life? A recent paper in Chemical Science suggests that freezing and thawing may have helped early “protocells” grow, merge, and trap DNA.¹ But the key issue is not whether ice can move molecules around—it’s whether blind physical cycles can build the coded, regulated systems life requires. The evidence shows that ice can sort preexisting parts, but it cannot engineer life.

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...
