Does it matter whether the larvae of one fruit fly species have hairy backs while those of another are smooth? Well, for scientists who believe both species descended from the same ancestor population, it could perhaps be taken as an example of evolution in action. The genetic causes for these particular differences, however, clearly show that no Darwinian processes were involved.

The brain has for a long time been compared to man-made computers in its astounding ability to process, store, and route information. But a new imaging technique has revealed that just one brain's connections and capacities far outnumber and outpace those of all the world's computers. And this makes the question of the origin of brains that much more difficult for naturalistic explanations.

Some people challenge the existence of the Christian God by asking questions like “If God always has good intentions and is all-powerful, why would He make things like parasitic worms that harm other organisms by invading their intestines?” New findings present an intriguing answer and show that questions that are worded that way harbor a wrong assumption.

If Charles Darwin could see today's best examples of evolution, would he be elated or depressed?

In the late 1800s, a Darwinian concept called "transmutation of species" revolutionized historical biology. Instead of viewing animal species as the products of special creation, Darwinists believed that they resulted from a long, repetitive transformation through various "natural" or environmental pressures.
