Tyrannosaurus rex looms in recent history as likely the most famous dinosaur that ever lived. The Jurassic Park movies pumped new life into its image as a savage predator. But how much of this is Hollywood hype and how much reflects science?

Scientists previously uncovered fossil algae in Archean rocks—evidence of life in a period that evolutionists date from 3.0 to 3.5 billion years ago.¹ At that supposed time, the sun would have been 70 percent less luminous compared to today, making Earth's surface icy and uninhabitable.

A recent 7.7 magnitude earthquake in south-central Pakistan killed over 260 people and displaced thousands more. It also spawned a new island in the Arabian Sea hundreds of miles from the earthquake's source, demonstrating how quickly land surfaces can change under violent geologic stresses.¹

A recently discovered Microraptor fossil reveals an odd-looking bird with two front wings and feathers on its back legs, giving it the appearance of having "four wings." The startling fossil reflects some of evolution's unsolved mysteries, like the origins of flight, wings, and feathers. Could Microraptor help answer these questions?

In 2008, the Institute for Creation Research acquired Eddie, a rare juvenile Edmontosaurus (duck-billed hadrosaur). He currently resides in our offices in Dallas, Texas.
