Proof The Bible Is True

This past summer, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) addressed the subject of origins in the five-part television series Evolution.¹ Not too surprisingly, the possibility of supernatural creation was completely ignored. The United States Corporation for Public Broadcasting is in the process of airing these five episodes, with some possible variations from the BBC versions. The first United States episode, “Br... More...

Conventional scenarios fall short in explaining the origin of moons within our solar system. Recent computer simulations have strengthened the argument that these moons, particularly the moons of Saturn, were supernaturally created not that long ago.

Scientists think many moons within our solar system, including Saturn’s moons Enceladus (see figure above) and Mimas, may have hidden oceans of liquid water within their interi... More...

The human heart does not beat like a perfect clock. The time between beats changes as the body breathes, moves, rests, and reacts to the world around it. New research shows that these changes are part of a feedback system linking the heart, brain, and nerves.¹ The heart keeps a steady rhythm while remaining flexible when needed, much like a well-built control system.

Denis Noble has studied heart rhythm for many years.... More...

Blood vessels do more than carry blood. As tissue grows or heals, new vessels must form in the right place and direction, through a process called angiogenesis. Recent experiments with human endothelial cells show that mechanical force can help guide this growth. The findings reveal a responsive control system in which cells sense physical strain and adjust vessel growth without losing their basic function.¹

The incredible hummingbird hawkmoth (Macroglossum stellatarum), and other insects of the Lepidoptera order, continue to amaze entomologists.^1,2 The hawkmoth has recently been studied in order to learn more about the sensory information used to control its long proboscis, a tubular protrusion that can be inserted into flowers like the beak and tongue of the hummingbird.

As scientists watched the insect feed from ... More...

An engineer can list every part in a system and still miss how it works. Think of a radio. Its parts matter, but so does the wiring that joins them. The same is true in living cells. A July 2026 study of immune cells found that cell function depends not only on genes and proteins, but also on how those parts are linked.

The study, published in Nature Communications, looked at T follicular helper (Tfh) cells. These immune c... More...

Native American oral tradition contains stories of sturgeon living for centuries. While this was largely seen as folklore among conventional scientists, a new study shows that lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) in the Great Lakes area can live over 200 years, with some approaching 300 years.^1,2 This means some living lake sturgeon were likely alive at the time of the founding of the United States of America, 250 years ag... More...

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

The same release announc... More...

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.

The team studied Candidatus Velamen... More...

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...

ICR is only where it is now because of the faithful, gracious donors who believe in our mission to honor Jesus Christ as the Creator and bolster confidence in His Word through science. 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...
