FIRST ANIMAL ON EARTH SURPRISINGLY COMPLEX

 

By LiveScience.com

Earth’s first animal was the ocean-drifting comb jelly, not the simple sponge, according to a new find that has shocked scientists who didn’t imagine the earliest critter could be so complex.

SUBDUCTION DESIGN

 

By Hugh Ross, Ph.D.

Stanford University geophysicist Norman Sleep has outlined some new constraints on habitable planets.1 He explains how the possible existence of advanced life crucially depends upon a planet maintaining efficient plate tectonics for billions of years. Without such plate tectonics several nutrient-recycling processes, critical for advanced life, cannot be sustained. Efficient [...]

CREATIONISM OR SCIENCE?

By Jeff Zweerink, Ph.D.

A recent article in Science discusses the difficult spiritual journey of Stephen Godfrey. Raised in a strong, Bible-believing home, Godfrey showed great aptitude for both science (particularly biology and paleontology) and art. Though his parents believed Earth to be 6,000 years old with the geological record having been laid [...]

INTELLIGENT DESIGN PREDICTION FULFILLED

 

Darwinists have long made an argument from ignorance, where our lack of present knowledge of the function for a given biological structure is taken as evidence that there is no function and the structure is merely a vestige of evolutionary history.  Darwinists have commonly made this mistake with many types of “junk” [...]

BOMBARDED BY DESIGN

 

By Dave Rogstad, Ph.D.

“Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose.” Richard Dawkins, atheist biologist, in The Blind Watchmaker “Biologists must constantly keep in mind that what they see was not designed, but rather evolved.” Francis Crick, atheist biochemist, in What Mad Pursuit “The [...]

The steadfast adherents to Neo-Darwinism cling to it as if it were an ex cathedra decree from on high. Academia fiercely proscribes any alternative, criticism or [...]

BEN STEIN VS. ATHEISTS

I confess that when the producers of Ben Stein’s new documentary “Expelled” called, offering me a private screening, I was less than excited.

It is a reality of PC liberalism: There is only one credible side to an issue, and any dissent is not only rejected, it is scorned. [...]

STONE CARVER OF THE GAPS

From UncommonDescent.com

I just got back from a couple of weeks in Israel, where I visited the ruins of the ancient city of Capernaum on the shores of the Sea of Galilee and saw this stone:

An “expert” at the site insisted that this stone bears the marks of a 1st century Jewish stone carver.  [...]
