A recent study published in Science claims that an asteroid caused new forms of plants to evolve.^1-3 But can an asteroid really be responsible for selecting new forms of life?

Preserved leaves and twigs in a tube of soil show Greenland was largely ice-free in the relatively recent past.¹ This discovery has important implications both for the ages that uniformitarian scientists assign to the deep ice cores and the global warming debate.

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?

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.
