Transitional FormsA Second Opinion On the Giant Panda's Thumb1/1/1999 If you have encountered Stephen Gould’s famous critique of Christianity, you will be glad to know that it has been contradicted in recent months by the work of six Japanese biologists. Gould once argued that the giant panda’s thumb represents a clumsily adapted wrist bone, not the work of a divine Designer. Evolution As Mythology, Part 1 (of 5): The Theory Of Evolution Is A Myth5/5/2008 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 Theory5/12/2008 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 Abiogenesis5/19/2008 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 Macroevolution5/19/2008 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): Conclusion5/19/2008 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. Evolution Loses Its Direction1/24/2008 Fossil evidence reveals that evolutionary change is seldom directional Evolution Loses Its Equilibrium1/31/2008 Punctuated equilibrium doesn’t have a viable mechanism Extinction Risks For Birds4/1/2001 One of the complex challenges facing evolutionists can be described in simple terms. It is the problem of time. For naturalistic evolution to work, the rate of speciation (introduction of new species) must, by nature alone, exceed the rate of extinction. Observed reality says it does not. In fact, extinction is accelerating (for some obvious reasons) while speciation has virtually stalled. Feathered Dinosaur Or Flightless Bird?10/1/2000 A recent collaborative study by scientists from Oregon State, Purdue (at Fort Wayne), Johns-Hopkins, and the College of Charleston provides evidence that the once highly touted feathered dinosaur, Caudipteryx, was more likely a flightless bird. First Chimpanzee Fossils Cause Problems For Evolution1/1/2006 Where were you on September 1, 2005? Perhaps you missed the announcement of a scientific breakthrough: the influential journal Nature published the completed sequence of the chimpanzee genome. Is There A Controversy About Evolution?4/1/2006 "Teaching the controversy" is controversial. Sides have been drawn. Marine Body Sizes Add Weight To Creation Model1/1/2001 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. Mismatches Between Genetic Data And The Fossil RecordNovember 1, 2011 Charles Darwin acknowledged that one of the issues faced by his theory of evolution was that the fossil record didn’t match the theory.1 New Challenge To The Bird-dinosaur Link4/1/2000 In the Liaoning Province of The People’s Republic of China, researchers are combing an extremely rich fossil site, the Yixian Formation. It contains remarkably well-preserved remains of plants, insects, invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and dinosaurs. Thank God For Whales12/27/2010 In Genesis 1 God commanded the human race through Adam and Eve to use and care for Earth’s resources for the benefit of themselves and all life.1 Our planet and its resources form a very complex system; and managing them wisely, even in this day and age, can be a daunting task. Thank God For Whales8/23/2010 Paleontologists observe multiple “transitional forms” for whales in the fossil record. At first glance this evidence seems like a point in favor of the evolutionary paradigm, but a closer look reveals otherwise. Evolutionary models prove that, of all animals, whales manifest the highest probability for rapid extinction and the lowest probability for evolutionary advance. The Leap To Two Feet: The Sudden Appearance Of Bipedalism10/1/2001 Did man crawl his way into existence over millions of years? Or did he leap to two feet by supernatural design? Did humans emerge from amoebas or did a Creator intend for life to possess purpose, value, and meaning? Weeding Out Evolution: Book Reviews Of Icons Of Evolution And Science & Christianity: Four Views1/1/2001 Book reviews: 1) Icons of Evolution: Science or Myth? (reviewed by Fuz Rana) and 2) Science & Christianity: Four Views (reviewed by Robert Bowman Jr.) Welcome Back, My Friends, To The Show That Never Ends1/28/2010 It was not one of my finer moments. I was on my junior high school’s basketball team and we were headed out for an away game. Whale Ankles- No Support For Neodarwinism4/1/2000 Proponents of gradualism often trot out so-called “transitional” whale fossils as evidence supporting their view.1, 2 In my book, The Genesis Question, I explain why no other animal has a higher risk of rapid extinction and a lower chance of natural advancement than the whale.3 “hurry Up And Wait” Pattern In The Fossil Record Supports Creation Model9/19/2011 Many people maintain that the fossil record (a record of life’s history) supports the evolutionary paradigm. However, a new analysis of the fossil record reveals that the observed patterns—no evolutionary change punctuated by rapid biological innovation—do not match the patterns predicted if biological evolution accounts for life’s history and diversity. On the other hand, this pattern fits nicely within a creation model.

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 EvolutionPrice: $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 TheoryPrice: $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?
What Darwin Didn't KnowPrice: $6.50 Darwin built his theory on the data available at that time. But understanding of life's structure and history in the mid-19th century was vastly incomplete. Since then a scientific revolution has taken place. It's not surprising that Darwin's theory no longer represents a viable explanation of nature's record. Who Was Adam?Price: $19.95 A Creation Model Approach to the Origin of ManWas Adam an accident of nature or a creature designed with significance and purpose? Did humans descend from an ape-like ancestor through lucky happenstance, or were the first man and woman deliberately created, made in God's image? Evolutionary theory dominates academic thought and public discourse as the only valid explanation for humanity's origin. |
