Specialized Communication Enables Dolphin Diplomacy

What happens when two dolphins rapidly swim toward the same piece of food? Without some avoidance feature, bottlenose dolphins would become "bashed-nose" dolphins, or worse.

Fortunately, dolphins do have a solution--specialized communication. Where did this capability come from?


Shark Study Hammers More Nails in Evolution's Coffin

In the late 1800s, a Darwinian concept called "transmutation of species" revolutionized historical biology. Instead of viewing animal species as the products of special creation, Darwinists believed that they resulted from a long, repetitive transformation through various "natural" or environmental pressures.


Moth Eye Technology Proves Difficult to Copy

Moths can see very well, even at night, and their eyes have a special built-in anti-glare feature so that reflected light does not alert predators to their presence. Engineers are interested in copying these anti-glare design principles, which could revolutionize whole industries with glare-free displays.


Whale Variations Support Creation

Whales are graceful and remarkable swimming mammals. The 84 living species are amazingly diverse, ranging from over 100 feet long down to the size of an average dog. Recent research attempted to discover an evolutionary reason for this great diversity in body sizes, but the surprising findings actually support the creation model of whale development.


Were Humans Created to Commune in Nature?

In 2008, scientists found that taking a walk in a park setting improves concentration.1 This year, a study in the Journal of Environmental Psychology discovered that being outside among natural surroundings also provides people with an inner sense of vitality or energy.2 Why is there this connection between nature and human well-being?
