“Bizarre Bird” Highlights the Problem of Biogeography

While hoatzins are bad at flying, evolutionists have been forced to credit these birds with some impressive rafting — unbelievably impressive. Read More ›

Species Pairs: A New Challenge to Evolutionary Theory

Far from being exceptions to the rule, species pairs, which have diverged very little over millions of years, are the rule. Read More ›

Fossil Friday: Whip Spider from the Lower Cretaceous

These fossiliferous limestones are about 115 million years old. In spite of this age the animal is not primitive in any way. Read More ›

Can Materialistic Models Accommodate the Scientific Data?

Would you believe someone who claimed that fairies and leprechauns were caught on video, but they are too small or too fast to be seen? Read More ›
