Baylor Surgeon 'Dissects' Darwinism

Dallas' Baylor University Medical Center surgeon Joseph Kuhn recently described three serious problems with Darwinian evolution in a paper titled "Dissecting Darwinism" for the school's medical proceedings.

He wrote that all three points were argued in 2010 in front of the Texas State Board of Education, which after days of deliberation decided that textbooks must teach both the strengths and weakness of evolution. More...

Sophisticated Protein Motor Defies Evolution

God appears to have left His unmistakable signature throughout His creation, even on the smallest parts.

ATP synthase, an important enzyme, manufactures (synthesizes) a vital, energy-rich compound called ATP. A stream of protons from an acidic area flows through ATP synthase to power its spinning rotor, which in turn activates rocking cams to make ATP. It can also run in reverse, acting as a proton pump.

2011 Another Frustrating Year for Evolution

Nature, one of the premier science journals in the world today, recently published its editors' choice of science stories for 2011.

Of the nine stories, only one addressed evolution—a paleoanthropology article by Fred Spoor entitled "Malapa and the genus Homo." Is this story on A. sediba the best on evolution out of the whole of 2011? More...

Why Dogs Don't Need Snow Boots

Human feet would quickly freeze if exposed to snow and ice without proper gear, but dogs don't seem to mind the cold. Since the pads of their feet aren't protected by fur like the rest of their bodies, it would seem that they'd be especially susceptible to freezing—but they aren't.

Japanese researchers recently discovered why. More...

Fossil Whale Brain Proves Paleontologist Wrong

Howell Thomas, senior paleontological preparator for the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, was skeptical when a woman claimed that she found a fossilized whale brain in San Luis Obispo County, California, nine years ago.

"The first thing I said when I heard about this finding was that there's just no way," Thomas told the Beatrice Daily Sun. More...

Paddlefish Are Tuned to Eat Only Plankton

Paddlefish, also known as spoonbill catfish, are cartilaginous fish that inhabit freshwater lakes. They only like to feed on plankton, a category of aquatic food that includes tiny crustaceans like brine shrimp and water fleas.

Paddlefish hunt using sensors on their paddle, or nose, that guide them right to their small prey. Biologists from Ohio University recently discovered why this system works so well. More...

Study Finds Molecules Evolving in Wrong Direction

Which is more complex—a typical man walking across a street, or a blind man carrying a legless man across the street?

The blind and legless partners are more complex simply because they have more interacting parts. But this increased complexity not only results in less functionality, it also doesn't provide any additional information about how sight and mobility could have originated. More...
