Peer-Reviewed Paper Shows Vertebrate Embryonic Variation Contradicts Common Ancestry

Evolutionary biologists often argue that vertebrate embryos develop in highly similar manners, reflecting their common ancestry. Read More ›

Without Hemoglobin, How Do Icefish Survive the Cold? By Design

Icefish, aka the family Channichthydiae, survive at 0oC in the Southern Ocean by maintaining blood viscosity at the set point of 3.27 centipoise. Read More ›

Yes, Winston Ewert’s Dependency Graph Is a Real Model

The fact that known natural biological processes can produce non-tree-like patterns is problematic not for ID proponents but for proponents of common ancestry. Read More ›

Does Darwinian Theory Make the Same Predictions as Intelligent Design?

Richard Dawkins predicted that “a large fraction” of our genomes has no function, because, “The true ‘purpose’ of DNA is to survive, no more and no less." Read More ›

Third Paper Presenting an Engineering Analysis of the Flagellum Makes the Case for Intelligent Design

A diagram in the paper — showing interactions in terms of engineering schematics — is unlike any description of the flagellum that I’ve seen. Read More ›
