Evolutionary Trees"Evolving" Robots Challenge Evolution
1/1/2001 “Evolvable” robots invented by a team of computer scientists from Brandeis University, Waltham, Massachusetts, headlined the popular media last summer. According to the press, these machines were capable of developing, on their own, new and better machines, thus mimicking, in the laboratory, the evolutionary process biologists ascribe to nature. Becoming Human—fast!
7/8/2011 While recording a recent episode of the I Didn’t Know That! podcast, my colleague Fuz Rana responded to a listener who wanted to know if there is enough time (from an evolutionary perspective) between the divergence of chimps and humans from their common ancestors for humans to have evolved. In other words: Is the rate of evolution sufficient to explain the differences between humans and chimps? Birds Terrorize Evolutionary Biologists
8/14/2008 Largest Bird Study to Date Challenges the Validity of Biological Evolution Evolution As Mythology, Part 1 (of 5): The Theory Of Evolution Is A Myth
5/5/2008 The creation-evolution debate is usually framed as science v. religion: verifiable fact v. faith. But we contend that it takes at least as much faith to believe in the theory of evolution as in creation by a supernatural God. And in reality, evolution has more characteristics of a “myth” than of a scientific theory. Evolution As Mythology, Part 2 (of 5): Evolution Is Not A Scientific Theory
5/12/2008 A previous article noted how the theory of evolution evinces characteristics of a myth. This article will consider how it measures up to the definition of “science.” Evolution As Mythology, Part 3 (of 5): The Myth Of Abiogenesis
5/19/2008 The last two articles have discussed how the theory of evolution has characteristics of a myth (which cannot be proven or disproven by the technology of the culture), and lacks characteristics of a scientific theory (which is testable and falsifiable). Evolution As Mythology, Part 4 (of 5): The Myth Of Macroevolution
5/19/2008 The last article discussed the mythlike characteristics of abiogenesis, a key component of the theory of evolution, that says living organisms appeared spontaneously from nonliving matter. This article discusses evolution itself, which is separated into two categories. Evolution As Mythology, Part 5 (of 5): Conclusion
5/19/2008 The four previous articles in this series have shown that the theory of evolution is more like a creation myth than a scientific theory. A myth may be true or false, but its principle characteristic is that it validates the thinking, practices, and ideals of a culture. Evolution explains our existence within the framework of our modern culture of naturalism, which has no need for a god. Failure Of Molecular Clocks: Important Implications For The Christian Faith
7/1/2000 According to the biological evolutionary paradigm, molecular evolution parallels organic evolution. In other words, as the evolutionary changes proceed at the anatomical level (via the process of descent with modification from a common ancestor), molecular changes occur in the amino acid and nucleotide sequences of proteins and genes, respectively. Flightless Birds Cause Evolution To Run Out Of Options
11/6/2008 Newly Discovered Example of Convergence Challenges Biological Evolution Marine Body Sizes Add Weight To Creation Model
1/1/2001 Evolution predicts change over time, not stasis; so researchers continue to search for an organism that shows significant evolutionary change. A recent analysis of marine creatures, however, revealed the unexpected: not the shift in body sizes predicted by evolutionary theory, but rather, an optimal body size unchanged for millions of years. New Study Raises More Questions About Evolution
5/10/2007 Elephant Sharks Closer to Humans than Teleost Fish? Quoth The Raven, “nevermore.”
12/28/2009 Edgar Allan Poe was not the only one impressed with the great intellect of the raven. Ravens also much impressed the prophet Elijah when God ordered the birds to bring the prophet bread and meat.1 Repeatable Evolution Or Repeated Creation?
10/1/2000 Any casual observer of nature recognizes that many creatures bear some resemblance to one another. Many species of frogs, lizards, fish, and other animals and plants from different parts of the world appear to be nearly identical. This similarity has been the pattern throughout life’s history. The Unreliability Of Hominid Phylogenetic Analysis Challenges The Human Evolutionary Paradigm
7/1/2000 Recent work by two researchers from University College London (UCL) and George Washington University (GW) calls into serious question the capability of paleoanthropologists to detect and establish the evolutionary relationships assumed to exist among bipedal primates, or hominids. Tnrtb Classic: a Tangled Evolutionary Tree
12/1/2011 On Monday, I outlined the reasoning that leads researchers to disregard important data in their search for genomic evidence to support the theoretical relationship between humans and great apes. Virus Argument No Longer Immune To Challenge
1/1/2001 The apparent ability of certain viruses, such as HIV, to develop (“evolve”) immunity to drug treatment represents convincing, real-time proof of evolutionary advance, according to some biologists.

Price: $12.99 In this entry in their Christianity 101 series, Bruce and Stan provide a very basic introduction to science apologetics, compatible with many of RTB's perspectives. This book is a great, non-threatening way to introduce other Christians to an old-earth creationist approach to integrating the Bible and science. The included questions for application and discussion make this userfriendly guide perfect for individual or group use. (Note: This is a revised version of a previous title, Bruce and Stan's Guide to How it All Began, by the same authors.) Explore Evolution
Price: $39.95 Explore Evolution fills an important educational gap by serving as a supplement to traditional high school and undergraduate biology textbooks. Students who encounter the traditional evolutionary "icon" in their text can turn to Explore Evolution for an extended discussion on Darwinism and the competing theories. This beautifully illustrated, user-friendly book examines the case for neo-Darwinism and provides insight on how alternative explanations can be tested against the evidence. Icons of Evolution
Price: $16.95 Jonathan Wells convincingly demonstrates that the evidence and examples of Darwinian evolution commonly found in biology textbooks are either misleading or false. Wells carefully documents his thesis from the work of evolutionary biologists, explaining that the "icons" of evolution are nothing more than scientific myths in most cases. The evolutionary icons addressed by Wells include the Miller-Urey experiment, Archaeopteryx as the missing link connecting birds to reptiles, speciation among Darwin's finches, and others.

Icons of Evolution
Price: $19.95 Explore the conflict between ideology and science as one high school biology teacher, Roger DeHart, decides to supplement the school's curriculum with additional information about Darwin's theory. By challenging the "icons of evolution" which are ubiquitously marshaled as the best evidences for Darwinism in high school biology textbooks, DeHart found himself in the midst of a boiling pot of controversy. From the Galapagos Islands to the Cambrian fauna in China, Icons of Evolution takes viewers on a fascinating journey into this hotbed of controversy of public discourse. More Than a Theory
Price: $17.95
Christians are increasingly challenged with evolution theories as the only models for the origins and histories of the universe and life. But is there any valid scientifically testable alternative?
