Astronomers have detected a likely binary star pair, designated as D9, orbiting the supermassive black hole Sag A* at the center of our Milky Way galaxy.1,2 As the name implies, a binary consists of two stars bound by gravity orbiting around their common center of mass. Based on uniformitarian assumptions and the presence of gas and dust around the binary pair, astronomers concluded the binary has an age of “just” 2.7... More...
A team of conventional paleontologists claims to have found the oldest dinosaur in North America, rivaling the oldest dinosaur remains found anywhere.1 Discovered in Fremont County, Wyoming, about 50 miles from Yellowstone National Park, the dinosaur was named Ahvaytum bahndooiveche, or “long ago dinosaur” in the native Shoshone language.1
“It was basically the size of a chicken bu... More...
"And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful." (Revelation 21:5)
The coming of a new year is a good time to consider that glorious time to come when Christ will make everything new again. In the present age, all things "shall wax old as doth a garment" (More...
Snowflakes are among the most exquisite forms that nature has to offer, and no two flakes are alike. Several evolutionists have attempted to use the order of crystal formation, a result of atomic structures based solely on natural laws, as evidence for the purely natural development of order out of disorder in the evolution of life forms by arguing that to some extent the two processes are comparable. However, a more thorough examination of... More...
The phylum Arthropoda suddenly appears in the fossil record in a most un-Darwinian way.1 The largest group within the arthropods is the class Insecta—the insects. There is no fossil evidence depicting how insects supposedly came from non-insects. Entomologists can only suggest or estimate they originated many millions of years ago.2 ICR’s Dr. Jeff Tomkins addresses this evolutionary problem known as the hex... More...
We read in the first chapter of Romans that God loves us so much that He has given us a general revelation of what He has created. Verse 19 states, “what may be known of God is manifest in them; for God has shown it to them.” This is certainly true in the field of biological systems.
ICR’s Randy Guliuzza stated,
God did not leave humanity clueless or needing an additi... More...
The lepidosaurs are a large and diverse group of land vertebrates that include the snakes and lizards. There are almost 12,000 species of these animals. But evolutionists still do not know where they came from. Vertebrate paleontologist Michael Benton stated, “The early history of squamates [snakes, lizards] is patchy,” and the debate of snake origin “is far from resolved.”1
Five years later, fi... More...
Astronomers have inferred the presence of a fourth exoplanet in the Kepler-51 star system.1,2 They made the discovery when the third exoplanet in the system passed in front of its host star two hours sooner than their models predicted. The astronomers were able to account for this error by the existence of a fourth, previously unknown exoplanet. However, the most interesting aspect of this story for biblical creationists is that ... More...
"That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness." (Ephesians 4:22-24)
Everyone deserves a fresh start. As we start the New Year with resolutions and lofty i... More...
Our brain is designed to smoothly and constantly process what we see via the incredibly sensitive photoreceptors (cones and rods) of our eyes.1 But throughout a typical day, our eyes may be subject to rapid changes of shadows and light many times in a fraction of a second. Regardless, we are able to see almost seamlessly. How is this visual stability maintained?
Recently, a group of zoologists writing in Nature Comm... More...
The recent discovery of the first dinosaur fossils in Hong Kong came as a surprise to evolutionary paleontologists. It was totally unexpected since most of the rocks in Hong Kong are volcanic in origin.1 And volcanic rocks usually destroy bones, not preserve them.
“It’s shocking, because I never thought there would be dinosaur fossils in Hong Kong,” said Chong Got while looking at the new dinosaur bon... More...
Insects, such as the winged insects in the order Lepidoptera, continue to reveal incredible abilities with some facets that zoologists thought were reserved only for vertebrates.
Recently, entomologists were investigating “a species of tropical butterfly [Heliconius] with unusually expanded brain structures [that] displays a fascinating mosaic pattern of neural expansion linked to a cognitive innovation.”1... More...
Over the last two millennia, December 25th became the customary commemoration of the birth of Christ. But this was not always so. Other dates were recognized by different groups over time, while the early church apparently never observed Christmas at all. It wasn’t until the fourth century that December 25th became identified with Jesus’ birthday. Scholarly evidence shows that Christmas celebrations actually replaced old pagan r... More...
Wherever and whenever life is found, it is incredibly complex. This certainly applies to cyanobacterial photosynthetic life that supposedly were some of the simplest and very first organic life forms to evolve from inorganic nonlife.1
Cardiff University recently reported, “Until now, scientists broadly accepted animals first emerged on Earth 635 million years ago.”2 However, evolutionists have un... More...
There has been an incredible discovery concerning a bivalve mollusk called the heart cockle (Corculum cardissa). These bivalves have symbiotic partnerships with photosynthetic dinoflagellates called Symbiodinium corculorum. S. corculorum requires sunlight (UV radiation) for photosynthesis, and the heart cockles in turn can use the photosynthetic products the dinoflagellate produces. Such a relationship is called mutualism.
Cornified skin is the top layer of skin (epidermis) and is composed of dead skin cells that are tightly packed together and thickened. This is the Creator’s way of protecting people and animals against sharp objects and solar radiation.
In 2020, scientists discovered multiple foot and belly prints made by unidentified creatures in rock allegedly hundreds of millions of years old (Permian). These include three different diad... More...
Recently, a fascinating bird skull dated by evolutionists to be over “80 million years old” was discovered at a Brazilian quarry.1
Paleontologists are calling it Navaornis hestiae, believing it belongs to the extinct enantiornithines (birds). They think it might be a missing link in regard to avian brain evolution. For example, paleontologist Dr. Guillermo Navalón from Cambridge’s... More...
A Phys.org science article begins with what could be read as a religious story that occurred a long, long time ago.
Life on Earth started in the oceans. Beginning around 390 million years ago, however, the ancestors of modern land animals rose out of the waters, trading their fins for limbs and gills for lungs. This was a crucial transition in the evolution of all creatures—including humans—... More...
All of God’s children must overcome the temptation to allow God’s sovereign provision of our needs to be overshadowed by the pleasure of our bounty and blessings—especially during this very American celebration of the Thanksgiving holiday. Here are some of the original thoughts.

Bacteria (prokaryotes) are ubiquitous. A fraction cause disease in people, animals, and plants, but the majority are the foundation for the global food web, the nitrogen cycle, soil formation, and are part of the critical microbiome (the collection of microorganisms living in or on people and animals).1
The innate or nonspecific immune system is our body’s first line of defense against disease-causing entities (p... More...
The octopus—an invertebrate—never fails to surprise researchers with its incredible abilities.1,2
The octopus was designed by the Lord Jesus with amazing powers of perception, understanding, and reasoning. It has been discovered that some octopuses (molluscs) actually work together with different species (e.g., fish) to hunt.3 When hungry, it can interact with fish and actually share complex deci...
