A newly published analysis of four fossil molar teeth from a monkey dug up along the left bank of the Yuruá River in the Peruvian Amazon is causing a great deal of evolutionary confusion.¹ The problem is that this particular type of monkey has only been found previously in rocks of the same strata in North Africa.

A Newcastle University press release title reads, “Origins of language pathway in the brain at least 25 million years old.”¹ How can science measure the origins of brain pathways that supposedly happened so long before scientists could observe them? And how defensible is the 25 million-year figure? Two unscientific assumptions unwittingly deflate this title’s confident tone.

Bats have been in the news lately,¹ but bats themselves are not new—they were created on Day 5 of Creation Week, along with other flying creatures.

Bats are a large and fascinating group of flying mammals. They include 1,240 species. Not surprisingly, the fossil record shows bats have always been bats. They suddenly appear in a most un-Darwinian manner.

A piece of string about 6 millimeters long is threatening standard evolutionary theory about the history of humanity.

The BBC reported that researchers from the United States, France, and Spain recently discovered a small piece of string at a Neanderthal site in France.¹ The researchers say that the string is approximately 50,000 years old.

“Were it not for the asteroid, humans would never have evolved,” said Ian Miller, curator of paleobotany and director of earth and space sciences at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.¹
