Designed Adaptations Challenge Evolution

It’s exciting when research with medical implications also provides insight into the mechanisms of biological adaptation. Two new studies contribute to a large body of research that not only contradicts the textbook account for the evolution of life on Earth, but also supports the explanation of engineered adaptability.


Exploring Adaptation from an Engineering Perspective

For more than a century, biologists have appealed to Darwinian natural selection to explain how living organisms adapt to different environments. But research over the last several decades has consistently dethroned Darwin’s view of natural selection.


Biological and Engineered Systems Employ Same Principles


Photosynthesis: Clearly Designed from the Beginning

Unique structures in rare bacteria suggest the amazing process of photosynthesis is much “older” than evolutionists assumed.


Anti-Gravity Water Transport in Trees

Transporting water up a tree ten stories high from the roots to the leaves is no easy feat. How is this accomplished? The answer lies in tiny, specially designed vessels called xylem—plus a combination of other factors. Scientists are getting closer to mimicking this amazing vertical passage of water for the purpose of future large-scale desalination and sewage treatment.1,2
