150 Years Later, Fossils Still Don't Help Darwin

“Creationists claim there are no transitional fossils, aka missing links. Biologists and paleontologists, among others, know this claim is false,” according to a recent LiveScience article that then describes what it claims are 12 specific transitional form fossils.1 But do these examples really confirm Darwinism?


Our Great Ancestors Were. . . Sponges?

Geochemists and paleontologists are on the lookout for “molecular fossils,” biochemicals that were resistant to breakdown even during rock-forming processes.1 These have been discovered now in the very lowest layers of sedimentary rock, far below the Cambrian.2 Certain chemicals, like some steroids made by sea sponges, indicate that sponges were present in the earliest tim


Stunning New Evidence of a Higher Ancient Sea Level

Elephant Secrets under Middle East Sands

Yale anthropology professor Andrew Hill and graduate student Faysal Bibi are studying elephant footprints and other fossils near oil-rich Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates. In this formerly lush and verdant area, the scientists’ fascinating finds fit well with the biblical model.


How Did Marine Organisms End Up in Tree Sap?

A team of French experts in paleoenvironments has discovered algae and several bits of marine life that are completely encased in amber, a hard substance thought to originate from hardened tree sap. Amber is renowned for preserving exquisitely detailed fossils, often of insects.
