When the New Horizons space probe captured images of Pluto and its large moon Charon as it flew by in 2015, conventional scientists were surprised by the small number of craters in Charon’s southern hemisphere.1 This suggested a relatively young surface, despite Charon’s presumed age of over four billion years. How could they account for this?
Theorists proposed that a subsurface ocean developed on... More...
Faithful ICR supporter and pastor Dr. John MacArthur went home to be with the Lord on Monday, July 14, 2025, completing his 86-year pilgrimage.1 Dr. MacArthur pastored Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, for 56 years. He was also president of The Master’s University from 1985–2019, transitioning to the role of chancellor in 2019.2
Dr. MacArthur has been widely respected for both his... More...
In the 1990s, Australian paleontologists discovered fossil frog bones during a dig in Murgon, Queensland.1 This new species of frog—Litoria tylerantiqua—was subjectively dated to be 55 million years old.
Previously, evolutionists had dated the earliest Australian tree frogs from the Oligocene and the Early Miocene, at half that age. But “the discovery of Litoria tylerantiqua suggests tha... More...
Soaring birds are a majestic sight to behold, especially when they undergo such climbing and endless spiraling so effortlessly. Not surprisingly, evolutionists see this elegant soaring ability as having originated via deep time and evolution.
Now, an international team of researchers led by University of Florida evolutionary biologist Emma Schachner, Ph.D., has reported for the first time that soaring b... More...
One of the mysteries of evolution (there are so many) is the origin of teeth.
The past few years have witnessed a remarkable flurry of research on the origin or origins of vertebrate teeth. While this work is progressing, the details of when, where, why, and how teeth first appeared still elude consensus. Indeed, there is not even agreement on the fundamentals, such as how we define a tooth.1... More...
Recently, a team of scientists released data collected from 800,000 galaxies at different distances from Earth, all lying within the same narrow slice of the sky. Conventional scientists believe the data from this COSMOS-Web survey, obtained by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), will enable them to see how galaxies evolved over time. Yet these data from the COSMOS-Web survey are “challenging” to naturalistic theorie... More...
Experts and educators have long assumed Archaeopteryx represents a transition from theropod dinosaurs to modern birds. All of this speculation depends on the fossils having been deposited many millions of years ago. But a newly described Chicago specimen—the fourteenth known Archaeopteryx—seems to have preserved original body tissues that would deflate its assumed old age and thus the evolutionary tales that re...

Paleontologists in Alberta, Canada, have recently unearthed “a mass grave on a monumental scale.”1 The BBC story speaks of
Thousands of dinosaurs [that] were buried here, killed in an instant on a day of utter devastation.
Now, a group of palaeontologists have come to Pipestone Creek - appropriately nicknamed the “River of Death” -... More...
Earth’s oceans contain 321 million cubic miles (1.335 billion cubic kilometers) of water. The moon causes ebb and flow of tides twice in a 24-hour period, while the wind, density variations, and tides contribute to the massive ocean currents. These currents prevent oceanic stagnation and help circulate vital moisture and heat around the globe. But where did all this water come from?
Because some scientists reject the biblic... More...
Reptiles belong to a group of animals called amniotes that also include birds and mammals. A new Australian fossil discovery of a clawed amniote demonstrates these animals appeared much earlier than predicted by evolution theory. The introductory paragraph from the evolutionary website Earth.com says it all: “The origin of reptiles on Earth has been pushed back by an astonishing 40 million years. Fossilized tracks unearthed in Austral... More...
The bizarre lobe-finned coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae) “that flourished some 350 million years ago”1 continues to be a thorn in the evolutionists’ side. Paleontologists can only say these amazing fish evolved from a vague, unidentified “Sarcopterygian ancestor.”2 Creationists say they have always been coelacanths since their creation thousands of years ago.
Recently, ... More...
Cicadas are an unusual-looking insect belonging to the order Hemiptera (the true bugs, including bed bugs and aphids). If you live in the eastern United States or in the Midwest, you have undoubtedly heard their long raucous calls on summer days. They produce their characteristic sound via unique structures called tymbals.
Large numbers of these insects that have spent most of their lives as underground nymphs emerge every 13 or ... More...
An oft-repeated claim of evolutionary propaganda is that chimpanzee and human DNA are 98.5% identical. This high level of DNA similarity, which has been cherry picked from protein coding regions common to all mammals, has been used to bolster the hypothesis that humans and chimps share a common ancestor that lived about six million years ago. Based on theoretical models of human evolution and known mutation rates in both humans and chimps, ... More...
Fish evolution remains an enigma. Evolutionists can only say fish first “appeared” over a half-billion years ago.1 Creationists recognize fish have always been fish since their creation just thousands of years ago. Indeed, when fish are found entombed in sedimentary rock they are always fish, not their alleged evolutionary relatives.
Fossil-hunters have recently unearthed 100% fish in Alaskan sediments. Acc... More...
Eukaryotes are multicellular organisms that contain diverse differentiated cell types. Within almost every cell there are subcellular compartments called organelles that manage specific functions. The most important organelles include the nucleus, mitochondrion, and chloroplast, which are each enclosed within a distinct phospholipid bilayer (double membrane). These membrane-bound organelles are highly complex and provide distinct resources ... More...
Yet another fish fossil has been discovered. This one was found in the Australian desert and was dated by evolutionists to be “15 million years old.”1 Like finding a 100% dinosaur fossil, this is a 100% fish fossil belonging to the smelt family (Osmeridae).
It’s also significant that this fossil, named Ferruaspis brocksi, was found in Lagerstatte—sedimentary rock containing unique, extr... More...
At Easter time we focus on the cardinal Christian doctrine of the Resurrection. Without the Resurrection, Christianity is a sham. The truth that Jesus Christ rose from the dead sets Christianity apart from all religious systems.
Many of the world’s religions look back to the martyrdom of their leader/founder. None but Christianity look back to an empty tomb which once contained His body. Only in Christianity has the slain m... More...
Mosasaurs (order Squamata) were massive marine lizards that were common in the pre-Flood oceans. Therefore, it is not surprising that their fossils have been found on every continent.
According to evolutionary theory, mosasaurs came from an unknown group of lizards that ventured into the sea about 100 million years ago. Additionally, evolution expects they were clumsy swimmers. But there is no evidence that these formidable creat... More...
There was celebration, albeit briefly, for the discovery of potential life on a planet called K2-18b, which is 124 lightyears away from Earth.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) picked up light from a small red sun as it passed through the atmosphere of this planet. BBC reported an analysis of the findings at Cambridge University’s Institute of Astronomy.
The Cambridge group has foun... More...
Ichthyosaurs are marine reptiles that occur globally in the same rock layers as dinosaurs. Specimens with babies support the idea that they gave live birth, unlike most of today’s reptiles.
A pregnant ichthyosaur fossil named Fiona offers new information about the lifestyles of these marine predators.1 Originally discovered in 2009 and excavated in 2022 near the Tyndall Glacier in Torres Del Paine National Park, ... More...
We are all familiar with vocalizations in the animal world. For example, dogs bark, birds sing, frogs croak, and whales send forth their own distinct sounds.1 Recently, a detailed investigation has been conducted to determine sounds made by animals previously thought to be mute.
A group of zoologists led by the University of Zurich declare that, “Their study includes evidence for 53 species of four major clades o... More...
While you’re reading this, hold your breath. What is now happening is your blood is delivering the last of oxygenated blood cells to your tissues while carbon dioxide is rapidly building up (hypercapnia). At the same time, there is a steady decrease of blood oxygen (hypoxia). The pH of your blood is getting slightly lower (acidic), and your heart starts to beat faster. God designed your brain to sense the increased carbon dioxi... More...
It is widely known that vast numbers of fossils—vertebrate and invertebrate—have been discovered incredibly well-preserved.1,2 Such preservation points clearly to a sudden, catastrophic event that overwhelmed and buried creatures in multiple tons of sedimentary rock—like a massive flood perhaps.
The late Dr. John Morris of ICR described some of the Genesis Flood activity.

Fossil remains of the giant shark Otodus megalodon have been found in Miocene1 and Pliocene2 rock layers, which ICR scientists interpret as having been formed during the Genesis Flood.3 Paleontologists recently revised the estimated adult body length for megalodon upward from 15.9 meters (52 feet) to 24.3 meters (80 feet). Based on considerations of swimming efficiency, they concluded the megalodon&... More...
