In the past 15 years, it’s been determined that a vast ocean once covered the western Amazon drainage basin.¹ However, studies of the Miocene fossils reveal a conflicting story.¹ Fossils are found representing both fresh water and salt water environments in the same layers, leaving evolutionary scientists befuddled. How did these fossils get mixed together?

In a new book, Pope Francis warns that a “great flood” could result if civilization fails to stop global warming, and he draws an analogy between future sea level rise and Noah’s Flood.

Scientists have sequenced small amounts of DNA from the teeth of two Siberian mammoths said to have lived more than a million years ago.^1,2 The discovery has set an official record for the oldest DNA ever recovered, and it also raises a number of questions relevant to the creation-evolution controversy.

One of the most famous living fossils is back in the news. The coelacanth is an endangered deep-sea fish. Its fins fit to unique, wrist-like bones, and unique bony plates envelop what scientists call its lung, which is like the swim bladder that controls buoyancy in other fishes.

A recent study has found that the destruction of plants preceded the destruction of many forms of animal life in the rock record.¹ This is exactly what was predicted in ICR’s Flood model.²
