Conventional thinking relegates creationists—folks who believe that God created the world only thousands of years ago—to quack science. After all, are they not brimming with irrational bias? If that’s true, then how did I, a creationist, help get another journal article through the strict peer review process? I did science.
My area of expertise is fossil proteins. It fascinates me because of how strongly it conf... More...
Animals designed to fly are classified into four groups: the extinct flying reptiles (pterosaurs), insects, mammals (bats), and birds. According to the creation model, bats and birds were created on Day 5 as bats and birds.
Recently, a science news article addressed the wings of the two groups in an article entitled, “A Comparison of Bat and Bird Wings Reveals Their Evolutionary Paths Are Vastly Different.”1More...
Mollusks consist of a wide range of invertebrates that include the intelligent octopus, pulmonated snails (gastropods), and bivalves (clams). They appear suddenly in the early Cambrian about 514 million years ago according to evolution theory. In 2020, evolutionists said there is “no good record of molluscs before they had shells, and there can be some doubt that certain early fossil shells are really remains of molluscs.”1... More...
Uncovering animal tracks and trackways in sedimentary rocks is a testament to the Genesis Flood.1–4 Fascinating discoveries continue to be made with the latest trackway (200 footprints) being unearthed in Oxfordshire, England.5 The longest trackway is estimated to be 492 ft (150 m) in length and is probably longer. And therein lies the problem.
Many who are involved with uncovering these incredibly old... More...
By examining fossils from 19 archaeological sites in Jordan’s Azraq Basin, researchers have concluded that gazelles, hares, and foxes shrank in size at the end of the Ice Age.1 This news, published in an open-access journal article,2 should be of interest to creationists for two reasons.
First, the paper mentions in passing that fossils in the Azraq Basin show a “typical steppic faunal spectrum.&... More...
Astronomers have discovered a disintegrating rocky planet in another solar system.1,2 This extrasolar planet, or exoplanet, has been given the designation BD+05 4868 Ab. It orbits so close to its host star that the intense heat is literally vaporizing its solid, rocky material! The astronomers making the discovery explained,
Small, rocky planets orbiting their host stars too closely can vapor... More...
Scientists have successfully drilled a fourth long ice core in East Antarctica.1 This new core, which reached to bedrock, has bottom ice that is believed to be, by uniformitarian reckoning, at least 1.2 million years old. This is a huge technical achievement that required years of work in bitterly frigid temperatures. But it is also great news for creation science, since this new ice core could greatly strengthen already strong a... More...
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...
