Members of the Institute for Creation Research staff recently gave a series of presentations and workshops at the Concho Valley Homeschool Conference in San Angelo, Texas, presenting the young-earth creation position.

The Institute for Creation Research announced its new research venture into the life sciences in April 2010. Since then, the research team has made significant progress investigating the outstanding biology questions at the cutting edge of the creation/evolution debate.

The ICR life sciences research team is using sequence alignments to re-examine published molecular data and look for evidence of discontinuity.¹ One of our preliminary findings has fascinating implications for the biblical model of origins.

The ICR life sciences team has identified several key research questions in the field of origins biology. Our current task is reviewing the literature concerning the evolutionary tree of life,¹ with a focus on papers related to molecular data.^2,3 Specifically, we are reexamining the raw data and looking for evidence of discontinuity.³

The ICR life sciences team is in the midst of the literature review phase of our new research venture that will examine the major unanswered origins biology questions.¹ Our current focus is on reviewing papers relevant to the first of our identified research questions, refuting the evolutionary tree of life.²
