Evolutionary Obstacles to the Origin of Introns

The only type of explanation that adequately accounts for this type of phenomenon is a goal-directed, or intelligent, cause. Read More ›

Physics Envy Is Not Helping Evolutionary Biology

Biology is very different from physics. But if living things are entirely describable by atoms and forces, shouldn’t laws of physics apply to them, too? Read More ›

Intelligent Design in the Eukaryotic Cell Cycle

An inspection of the components and processes in eukaryotic cell division demonstrates just one of many such systems that Invalidate Mr. Darwin’s theory. Read More ›

The Cell Division Challenge to Eukaryogenesis — And to Evolution

The disparity between the eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell division is very surprising given the standard evolutionary view of gradual, incremental evolution. Read More ›

Study Finds Life’s Origin “Required a Surprisingly Short Interval of Geologic Time”

It’s certainly not impossible that life was already present on Earth at 4.2 Ga. And if it were true it would have intriguing implications. Read More ›

Getting It Together: Tethers, Handshakes, and Multitaskers in the Cell

Running a cell requires coordination. How do molecules moving in the dark interior of a cell know how and when to connect? Protein tethers offer new clues. Read More ›

The Interactome Multiplies Specified Complexity

No longer think of proteins as isolated parts in a cell. Think of them as friends networking and participating together in a community. Read More ›
