A new fossil found in Peru called Peregocetus is much more like an otter than a whale. It is interesting that in an attempt to prove evolution, paleontologists line up fossil creatures in a sequence much like aligning silverware in a sequence from forks to spoons. The incredible number of changes needed to evolve a whale from a land mammal defies credibility.

While we were demonstrating the incredible design of the filaree seed and the wild oat seed at a conference, a farmer came up and said, “You know, these are weeds!” That presented the question, why would God create “weeds” with such unique design features? That led to a little research into plants that are considered to be weeds, but actually are good for you and have medicinal properties. These include pigweed, kudzu, stinging nettles, milk thistle and burdock. All of these

Doug Sharp dives into his old Revolution Against Evolution book to review some of his arguments to see if they still hold up after over 30 years. He examines the linked entities of creatures where interdependence between them prevent their evolution. The linkological evaluation of the frog in the original book stills holds up as an example of over 30 characteristics that depend upon each other.

Eating well, thinking well and moving well are all part of what creates good health. 50% of that in my mind is thinking well. If we harbor bitterness, unforgiveness, envy, jealousy, and fear, our negative thoughts affect our emotions and our health. The reverse placebo effect is where if you believe something is bad for you, it may cause a reaction consistent with your beliefs. When we interviewed Dr. John Sanford and talked with him afterward, he thinks that many allergies t

The RNA World is a hypothesis of the origin of life starting with RNA and building the components of life around it. But if you study the process that is needed to build the RNA molecule there is a series of nineteen different obstacles that must be overcome.

Since the 1980’s, the national health standards have promoted what is called the food pyramid, which tells us that sugars and fats should be eaten sparingly, if at all. Dr. Jean-Guy Daigneault is a chiropractor who is also a nutrition expert, and though he agrees with sugar being bad for you, recent studies have shown that avoidance of fat is a problem. Consumption of good fats is essential for the production of hormones and it helps to lose weight. The culprit is trans-fatty

Nine out of ten species alive today have arisen in the last 200,000 years, according to a new genetic study. This research looked at select portions of DNA from 100,000 different species, and researchers found a telltale sign showing that almost all the animals emerged about the same time as humans. Not only that, the study also found (rather unexpectedly for evolutionists) species have very clear genetic boundaries, and nothing much in between.

Derek Marshall speculates what kind of engineering it might take to create a hive of mechanical honeybees that would perform the duties of gathering nectar to make honey. He compared it to an air traffic control navigation problem with miniature hovercraft weighing 1/10 of an ounce.

Many years ago, elephants near the cape of South Africa were hunted to near extinction because the people in the area were having problems with them. In a place called Addo, the elephants retreated to a spot where it was almost impossible for them to be hunted. Eventually an area was set aside as a elephant park and fenced in. They were fed citrus fruit and the elephants would congregate in one area waiting for their daily feeding. But the elephants destroyed the habitat and

Emerald ash borer, beech bark disease, pine tree blight, Dutch elm disease, chestnut blight. All have devastated our forests and we wonder if the plagues of Deuteronomy 28 are upon us. People ask why God allowed this in His creation. There are answers, but we may not like or understand them.

Dr. Charles Jackson explains fossilization and the latest fossil that is supposedly ancestor to humans according to the evolutionists.

David Oberpriller gives several unique tours of Boyce Thompson Arboretum in Superior, Arizona describing plants found in the Bible and how understanding the species helps us understand better what the scripture actually means.

Why is it that some of the most incredible designs in nature belong to plants that are normally considered to be weeds? Perhaps it is because we haven’t yet discovered their real purpose yet? The Fibronacci spiral is incorporated in the filaree seed which winds up and unwinds to screw itself into the ground. Wild oat seeds propagate while responding to heat and cold with feelers that rotate.

A challenge is made to a group of engineers to collaborate together to produce a duckbill platypus. Although it is really cheating, these engineers are allowed to borrow materials for this project from any living system. The triple constraints are time, cost and scope. Given unlimited time, money and resources, will these engineers succeed?

A wide variety of unrelated species are able to emit light, and their ability to do so not only requires intelligent design but for dozens of different purposes. To imagine that this functionality arose independently in various species by evolutionary chance is incredible.

Unrelated plants and animals challenge evolution because of symbiotic relationships.

Why did God allow thorns and thistles? Why is it that the plants that offer the clearest proof of design are also ones that are either weeds or their designs almost seem pernicious? The answer is surprising. God built these designs as part of the overall coding, knowing that there would be a fall.

Ostriches are among a number of flightless birds that are classifed together for that reason, but there is so many differences between them that it is a stretch of the imagination to construct an evolutionary ancestry.
