Evolutionary scientists are still trying to explain the origin of Earth’s continents. Some have even called this mystery the “holy grail” of geology.¹ But rather than explaining their origin, a new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) merely pushes back the age of the continents into unfathomable deep time.²

Two separate spider research projects published remarkable results, both in the journal Current Biology. These spiders’ specific features show their miniature skills, and cause us to marvel at their Maker.

In 2021, paleontologist Michael Caldwell of the University of Alberta in Canada stated, “There are many evolutionary questions that could be answered by finding a four-legged snake fossil, but only if it is the real deal.”¹

An icon of ICR during the early years was Chief Financial Officer Don Rohrer who was recently ushered into Glory.

I first met Don in 1995 while applying to be an ICR speaker and scientist. With a big smile, he grabbed my hand and squeezed it as he introduced himself.

A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) used NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to discover a gas giant in another solar system. The planet holds a new record for being a hot Jupiter-like exoplanet with the shortest year.¹
