New Fossil Feathers Affirm Created Kinds - Feb 27, 2019
/article/new-fossil-feathers-affirm-created-kindsBrian Thomas, M.S. - Descriptions of feathered dinosaurs continue to wing their way into scientific literature.

A T. rex Swimming with Sharks? - Feb 19, 2019

It distinguishes that scent from literally billions of others. Our sense of smell even gauges the strength of...

/article/saturns-ring-rain-rates-run-fastBrian Thomas, M.S. - Saturn’s gravity keeps vacuuming up its own stunning rings. NASA scientists have estimated how fast this process happens. The rings lose six Olympic-sized swimming pools-worth of material every hour according to new results from...
Grace from the Ark and the Flood - Dec 28, 2018
/article/grace-from-the-ark-and-the-floodBrian Thomas, M.S. - How strange that we decorate children’s play areas with Noah’s Ark themes. While we paint cute animals on church walls, the real Flood event was horrific. “And all flesh died that moved on the earth.”1 Peter wrote,...
