Proteins in life are synthesized in the cell by means of ribosome protein synthesis. But if you create them artificially, in order for them to simulate the function in life, they need to fold up in the same way that it is used in life. Each amino acid has a unique side chain that gives it special purpose. There are weak bonds that hold a protein structure together. As a protein chain is assembled, these weak bonds play an important role in determining the activity of the prot

During the Beagle Expedition, Charles Darwin found a horse’s tooth in the same stratum as fossil giant armadillos. He wondered if it had been washed down from a later layer. Anatomist Richard Owen confirmed the tooth was from an extinct species. The horse series of fossils used as evidence of evolution consists of Hyracotherium, Mesohippus, Merychippus, Pliohippus, and Equus. This is a superficial sequence and not necessarily in order from simplest to most complex. The theory

‘A fundamental concept of the theory of evolution is gradual change from a primitive, less-complex organism into a highly structured, more-complex organism over an imagined period of millions of years. How valid is this idea?’ Derek and Rich examine the fourth chapter of the book Revolution Against Evolution by Doug Sharp.

To understand the origin of life, we have examined life’s basic building blocks, the interrelationships between them, and their origin. Is it possible for atoms to materialize from the “Big Bang” and, organize themselves, and combine to form living things without the influence of an intelligent creator?’ Derek and Rich examine the fifth chapter of the book Revolution Against Evolution by Doug Sharp.

Steve Sharp talks about the success of the reintroduction of the wild turkey in Michigan in 1954 and how the habitat has changed after the lumbering days. It went from pine forest that was lumbered to grasslands that were good for quail and pheasant, scrub brush that was good for woodcock and as the forest matured, it provided habitat for wild turkey. He demonstrates the difference between spring and fall turkey hunting and which calls are appropriate for either season. He al

Jerry Bergman is the author of over 60 books, and two of his new outstanding volumes are called Poor Design and Useless Organs. These books are the result of over 50 years of research into these outmoded arguments by evolutionists, and each of the examples that have been brought out have been answered, showing the purpose of the design of each structure in the human body. The fact that some show overdesign and redundancy is not an argument against design. They argue that the

The circulatory system is one of many interdependent systems that comprise life in the body. Along with the circulatory system, you have the respiratory system, digestive system, lymphatic system, skeletal system, integumentary system, each of which cannot exist without the others in place. If you were to construct the circulatory system from scratch, where would you start. The capillaries? Without the heart, lungs, blood vessels, red blood cells, hemoglobin, platelets, nothi

Dr. Grady McMurtry shares his story of inquiry into truth as a scientist that led him from a belief in evolution as a teacher to discover the truth of Christianity. He then questioned evolution and found it a house of cards. Dr. Grady talks about unique design in plants and how they are interdependent upon insects for pollination. We talked about the dinosaur tree, the Wollemi Pine, that was abundant during the time of the dinosaurs, yet was found in Australia and grows in va

If you were given an assignment as an engineer to create a living cell or any kind of organism or machine that emulates life, what would you need to do? Doug explains the chemistry that is behind life and looks at the barriers that scientists would need to ascend in order for its synthesis. The chemistry of proteins is just one of many complex processes that are beyond explanation. Amino acids, when they are synthesized, are produced in equal amounts of left-handed and right-

The second law of thermodynamics prevents the creation of perpetual motion machines and it is also a major complication for the theory of evolution. Dr. John Sanford points out that there is an additional layer on top of that he calls “genetic entropy” where the loss of information due to harmful mutations leads to a limit on the time life can continue to exist. At the rate of 300 deleterious mutations per generation it caused Dr. Kondrashov to ask the question, “Why aren’t w

Many features of life either exist or they don’t. A cold-blooded creature like a frog is far different from a warm-blooded animal like a giraffe. Some time in a supposed evolutionary development a cold-blooded reptile switched over to being warm-blooded. Other examples: non-life to life, gills to lungs, non-flying to flying, mammals to whales, and special valves in the neck of the giraffe.

Dr. Jean-Guy Daigneault examines the claim that the spine is poorly designed because we are still recovering from the evolutionary development where man is walking upright. This is a review of the first chapter of the book Poor Design by Dr. Jerry Bergman. As a chiropractor, Dr. Jean-Guy takes advantage of the spine’s functionality where it heals itself, and to claim it is poorly designed is irresponsible.

The Circulatory System is one of about a dozen different systems in the body that cannot work independently of the others. The respiratory system, nervous system, muscular system, lymphatic system and others all interconnect intricately with the circulatory system and if one part fails, the others cannot function. At birth, God designed the baby’s circulatory system to disconnect from the placenta and instantly kick start into new life. This is evidence for design.

The life cycle of the butterfly goes through four stages: egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and adult. The origin of this seemingly Rube Goldberg process is inexplicable from an evolutionary scenario. Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar turns into a jelly of undifferentiated cells. Then, they all begin to diversify and assume their role as parts of the adult butterfly.

Claims of fossil finds with feather imprints on dinosaurs have been investigated by several scientists whose detailed studies concluded that the fibers found were that of collagen. Other scientists dispute this, including some creationists who point out that even if dinosaurs with feathers are found, that is not conclusive evidences that birds evolved from reptiles. They just would be another created baramin or kind.

Ever since Darwin declared the tonsils to be a rudimentary or useless organ, doctors have routinely removed them as a preventive measure against colds. In the 1930’s to 1950’s, half of all children had that procedure done as a matter of course. But now the removal of tonsils is associated with all kinds of risks and diseases and nowadays the medical community discourages the removal of tonsils except only in extreme emergencies.

Derek Marshall discovers a new perspective on the origin of life experiments where he reviews the results and finds that the amino acids of higher molecular weight and complexity were not found. He finds a reason for this and explains that this in of itself is reason to believe that evolution of life from non-life is impossible within the deep time constraints evolutionists give.

One of the central claims of evolution is that as life went through its progression of development, some of the organs and features began to lose their original function and became vestiges of their original purpose. The appendix is one of these that in the past was considered to be such, but now the functions are known. Jerry Bergman’s book “Useless Organs: The Rise and Fall of a Central Claim of Evolution” shows that this argument has fallen by the wayside with the discover

The left recurrent laryngeal nerve proceeds from the brain down the spine, goes around the aorta and then is routed back up to the larynx. This is cited as an example of poor design by Richard Dawkins and was one of the things that convinced him that living things are just a collection of evolutionary mistakes. But I issue a challenge to Dawkins to surgically reroute this nerve, shorten it and as a result improve a person’s speech and voice.

The claim made by evolutionists that the eye is poorly designed is irresponsible, and reflects a lack of understanding of basic biology. Their argument is that the retina is backwards of what is expected with the photoreceptors pointing away from the source of light. But if you examine closely what actually goes on in the eye, the photoreceptors are in a spot where cells are replaced rapidly, and need to be near the blood vessels where nutrients are supplied and waste cells a
