Do Maillard Reactions Explain Dinosaur Proteins? - Nov 7, 2019
/article/maillard-reactions-explain-dinosaur-proteinsBrian Thomas, Ph.D. - How could dinosaur proteins persist over 70 million years inside dinosaur bones? That’s one of the biggest questions that secular paleontologists have faced in the last two decades. Many of them reason that some unique but undiscovered set...
St. Davids Dragon—Fantasy or Reality? - Oct 31, 2019
/article/st-davids-dragon-fantasy-or-realityBrian Thomas, Ph.D. - My early memories of dinosaur teachings reflected the doctrine of their extinction 65 million years ago and the evolution of mankind only several million years ago. If that really happened, then our ancestors who lived before the scientific study...

The World's Oldest Bird Fossil - Sep 30, 2019
/article/the-worlds-oldest-bird-fossilBrian Thomas, Ph.D. - Ask college freshman biology students to name the oldest bird fossil and they’ll probably say the evolutionary icon Archaeopteryx. In that case, you’d hear the wrong answer. The story of which fossil receives the prize for the oldest...
Why Did God Make Mosquitos? - Sep 30, 2019

Dinosaur Mingled with Sea Creatures in Japan - Sep 24, 2019
/article/dinosaur-mingled-with-sea-creatures-in-japanBrian Thomas, Ph.D. - Each time a fossilized creature with legs is found mingled with fossil sea creatures, a new quandary for evolutionary history presents itself. When the same situation surfaces many times, that quandary multiplies. Discoveries like a new and...
Fossil Ape Skull Is a Game Ender - Sep 17, 2019
/article/fossil-ape-skull-game-enderBrian Thomas, Ph.D. - A recent poll of college-age Americans showed that the single most convincing science-based argument for evolution is the lineup of supposed ape-like evolutionary ancestors of mankind.1 But epidemic disagreement among researchers over the relevance...
Over a Dozen More Dinosaur Soft Tissues - Sep 12, 2019
/article/over-a-dozen-more-dinosaur-soft-tissuesBrian Thomas, Ph.D. - A trio of scientists used sterile techniques to collect 17 dinosaur fossils. They searched deep inside the specimens for original, still-soft tissue remnants. What did they find? Their Edmontosaurus (a species of hadrosaur) fossils came from...
Research Presented at a Secular Conference - Aug 30, 2019
/article/research-presented-at-secular-conferenceBrian Thomas, Ph.D. - This past summer, a colleague and I went to a secular science conference seeking critique from our non-creationist colleagues over what amounts to creation research. Their reactions surprised us. Creation science done well should be...
Does Palo Duro Canyon Show Deep Time? - Aug 30, 2019
/article/does-palo-duro-canyon-show-deep-timeBrian Thomas, Ph.D. - Some friends and I recently hiked into Texas’ Palo Duro Canyon, where sedimentary rock layers span the horizon. Eighteenth-century naturalists thought rock layers represented vast ages, a tradition most scientists still cling to. We looked...
