Like all sciences, creation science has unanswered questions. This is why we are called the Institute for Creation Research—not the Institute for Creation Answers. Specifically, there are still some questions regarding the origin of predation, pathogens, poisonous plants, and parasites.

In regard to predation, a creation biologist stated,

Did your shoulders evolve from ancient fish? Creationists would say no, because we don’t have fish ancestors.^1,2,3

However, research from the Imperial College London states, “A new analysis of the bones and muscles in ancient fish gives new clues about how the shoulder evolved in animals—including us.”⁴

Are these new clues valid?

The fossil record clearly shows insects have always been insects.

In a recent study, researchers led by biologist Richard J. Knecht, a Ph.D. candidate at Harvard, wrote:

It’s something right out of science fiction. The beautiful, flighty butterfly has been discovered to have cancer detection properties via the ability to see tiny variations in the ultraviolet spectrum.

Who would have guessed?

As flying mammals, bats continue to amaze zoologists with their incredible abilities.^1,2 But their origin continues to be an enigma for conventional biologists because the creatures appear in the fossil record complete, fully formed as bats without evolutionary precursors.
