New species are often presented as proof that life is evolving. But they instead show how life was designed to diversify from the start. A recent deep-sea study reports 24 new amphipod species and even proposes a new “superfamily.”1 Conventional scientists say this discovery adds a new branch to the tree of life. Yet the real issue with this is not naming new groups—it is explaining the species’ origin. Th... More...
Amazing tiny chloroplasts found within equally incredible plant cells continue to reveal the detailed workmanship of the Creator who created plants on Day 4 of creation.1–3 But evolutionary theory removes God: “Every plant cell is the product of a biological merger billions of years ago.”4
Conventional scientists claim that chloroplasts, “key structures in [plant cells] and algae that... More...
Recently, an update on the Whopper Sand in the Gulf of America (Mexico) was published in the oil field trade magazine, AAPG Explorer.1 New oil drilling has found it to be thicker and more extensive than first thought.2–4
ICR described the initial discovery of this massive sand in 2001:
The Whopper Sand was first discovered about 200 miles off the coast in ... More...
A small fossil reptile with strange and intricate skin outgrowths has been discovered that is forcing evolutionists to once again reexamine their understanding of reptile-to-bird, scale-to-feather evolution.1 Allegedly 247 million years old, Mirasaura grauvogeli isn’t a dinosaur but a diapsid—an amniote (mammal, bird, or reptile) in which the skull has two pairs of temporal openings. It was discovered in 2019 i... More...
It is generally assumed by the vast majority of conventional scientists that an asteroid caused the extinction of 75% of all species on Earth, including the dinosaurs, at the K-Pg (Cretaceous-Paleogene) Boundary.1 These extinctions even extended into the marine realm, killing off the ammonites, an animal similar to today’s chambered nautilus. However, new research by an international team of conventional paleontologists, le... More...
A paper was recently published in Science that suggested a lake may have helped carve Grand Canyon.1 This hypothesis has been scattered throughout conventional literature since 1934 but hasn’t become largely accepted.2,3 Those that propose a lake’s involvement, or that of a series of lakes, recognize the need for more water than what the Colorado River alone could provide to remove over 1,000 cubic...

A new dinosaur fossil from Patagonia (the southern tip of South America) is making headlines. Conventional scientists say it shows how a group of strange dinosaurs evolved.1 The fossil belongs to the species Alnashetri cerropoliciensis, a small dinosaur about the size of a crow that lived about 90 million years ago according to conventional dating methods.1,2 Researchers suggest this fossil illustrates th...

In the beginning, God created plants and animals to multiply and fill the earth (Genesis 1:11–13, 20–25). So, when areas are devastated, living things are engineered with the innate ability to rebound and recolonize. This was seen in the rapid recovery of life at Mount St. Helens after the cataclysmic volcanic eruption of May 18, 1980.1 But conventional scientists seem t... More...
Some of the oldest living trees on Earth are in the temperate rainforests of the Chilean Coast Range. Second only to the bristlecone pine in age, these endangered, slow-growing alerce trees (Fitzroya cupressoides) shelter an impressive assortment of hidden fungal life underground.1 In fact, a recent study investigates how these trees and fungi support one another.2
Mycorrhizal fungal communities are f... More...
What if a simple sea sponge could spark a debate about the origin of animal life? A recent study suggests that some of Earth’s earliest animals were sponge-like creatures due to chemical traces found in ancient rocks.1 Researchers discovered unusual sterane molecules in marine sediments. Steranes are chemical traces that form when sterols—lipid molecules that help strengthen cell membranes—break down over time. ... More...
A possible Earth-like planet 146 light-years away has recently been discovered by citizen scientists.1 The evolutionary community is cautiously optimistic that this planet could host life. What are the chances that this could very well be Earth 2.0?
Astronomers are excited about this potential find because, as NASA chief scientist Thomas Zurbuchen said back in 2017, “The discovery gives us a hint that finding a s... More...
The book of Genesis tells us about a global flood that occurred about 4,500 years ago, an event that began with the bursting of the fountains of the great deep and a tremendous amount of rainfall (Genesis 7:11–12). This activity most likely caused rapid and widespread erosion across the surface of the earth. Do we actually see evidence of such erosion in the rock record? Yes!

A newly discovered giant virus called ushikuvirus has been described by conventional scientists as a possible clue to how complex cells evolved. But the details reported in the original research reveal intricately organized parts working together, telling a different story. It reveals built-in design limits.
In February 2026, researchers announced the discovery of ushikuvirus.1 This large DNA virus was found in freshwa... More...
Oxygen gives cells energy. But oxygen can also harm cells. Any organism that uses oxygen must both harness the power and protect itself against being damaged. A recent paper in Nature reports that certain Asgard archaea contain genes linked to oxygen use and suggests this helps explain how complex cells evolved over long ages.1 The key issue is not whether these microbes have oxygen-related genes—they do. The real ... More...
Many people are fascinated with dinosaur discoveries—a new fossil, a new species, and the impressive size. But whenever we read a news article, a scientific paper, or even a textbook describing these dino finds, we must be guided by the all-important question: what are the facts and how should the facts be interpreted?
Recently, scientists announced what they describe as a new species of Spinosaurus, naming it Spi... More...
Was the famous extinct fossil named Archaeopteryx a bird or an evolutionary link that led to birds? And how confident should scientists and others feel about the 150-million-year age assigned to this world-famous fossil? A new report on the latest specimen confirms two Bible-friendly trends that creation scientists have been tracking for a long time.1
Researchers discovered subtle, bird-specific features in th... More...
What if mutations that seem helpful today become harmful tomorrow? That question sits at the center of a new genetics study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution. The researchers found that many mutations improve protein function only under certain conditions and fail when the environment changes. Rather than showing how evolution creates new traits, the study highlights how living systems adjust to new conditions while staying... More...
In their desire to validate the questionable case for evolution, conventional biologists will appeal to local adaptation, variation, and ecological speciation as supporting evidence. This is exactly what happened with recent research regarding lipstick vine (Aeschynanthus) speciation.1
There are 160 species of Aeschynanthus that display a typical bird pollination condition. The flowers are designed with e... More...
Two scientists can examine the same data and reach very different conclusions. Is that proof that science is broken or simply evidence that assumptions matter? A recent paper in Science Advances claims that a researcher’s personal views can shape scientific results.1 The authors suggest this reveals a serious weakness in science itself. However, their study does not indicate that science is broken. Instead, it show... More...
Recent conventional genetic research published in Cell Genomics undeniably confirms findings that were previously reported by the Institute for Creation Research back in 2013.1 Once again, current conventional research has vindicated the prior creation exposure of evolutionarily inconvenient data present (but disregarded) in conventional databases.
One of the most popular arguments used to support the supposed... More...
Bird calls are something we often take for granted. After all, when we listen to them, we hear squawks, warbles, and chirps. Could there actually be information, something complex, that they’re transmitting? Scientists now say “yes” after studying a fun-sounding bird from New Zealand—the pukeko.1
Bird sounds are classified into calls and songs. Calls are simple and short, such as an alarm call. ... More...
Some discoveries stand out, not because they change the story of evolution, but because they show clear design from the start. That is what happened when scientists found a new crocodile-like fossil in Egypt’s Western Desert called Wadisuchus kassabi. At first it may look like another ancient reptile, but a closer look shows something more exciting—a creature built from the start for life in the water, not a half-formed s... More...
