Phosphorus plays a crucial role in life chemistry. Phosphates serve as the backbone for all nucleic acids and are the major repository of chemical energy for metabolism. The human body contains about 11,000 parts per million of phosphorus by weight.
Life DesignA Medical Perspective On "The Passion of the Christ"3/25/2004 Movie review: Mel Gibson’s movie The Passion of the Christ has generated more controversy in the media than any movie in recent memory. One of the main criticisms has been that the violence the movie depicts is excessive. The fact is that neither the flogging nor the crucifixion as shown was as bad or as violent as the actual event – as I will explain later. A Modern Jonah12/1/1991 "A sailor swallowed by a whale," proclaimed the tract that fell out of Winona Echoes, an old volume on my shelf. The tract recounted the following remarkable story. A 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. A Tnrtb Best Of: Biological Inspiration7/21/2010 Every summer, comic book movies wow audiences with flashy special effects that make superheroes fly, disappear, transform, etc. Many of us can’t help wishing we possessed superpowers of our own. Wouldn’t it be cool if we could crawl up the wall like Spider-Man? Thanks to a little inspiration from nature, manmade devices like adhesives are improving. A Tnrtb Best Of: Thank God for Flowers12/20/2010 We couldn’t believe our eyes. For several hours Kathy and I had been hiking through mile after mile of mountain meadows filled with an array of flowers of every imaginable color, shape, and smell (see figure 1). Aliens From Another World? Getting Here From There4/1/2001 A rising challenge to Christianity, both within and beyond the borders of America, springs from the popular obsession with UFOs (unidentified flying objects) and ETI (extraterrestrial intelligent life). An Inside Report On Issol ’99: Life From The Heavens? Not This Way...January 1, 2000 Some scientists’ commitment to finding a naturalistic explanation for the (basically miraculous) origin of life on this Earth remains firm – but the demands of that commitment are becoming much higher. It requires "blinder" faith than ever, in light of recent findings. Ancient Tree Answers Challenge To Genesis One4/1/1999 Secularists have openly and vociferously mocked the biblical creation account for placing the origin of "trees, seed, and fruit" as early as the third creation day. Biblical apologists point out that the ancient Hebrew words for "tree," "seed," and "fruit" are more broadly defined than we English readers assume as we study our translations.1 Anthropic Principle: A Precise Plan For Humanity1/1/2002 Human beings climb. Always have, always will. First hills, then mountains, then pinnacles so high they're called "death zones." That's as high as legs could carry them, but not high enough. So people invented balloons, blimps, airplanes, and spacecraft, the higher the better—to a point. Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi Design11/23/2009 The mutual relationship between vascular plants (flowering plants) and arbuscular mycorrihizal fungi (AMF) is the most prevalent known plant symbiosis. Vascular plants provide sites all along their root systems where colonies of AMF can assemble and feed on the nutrients supplied by the plants. Ask The Animals And They Will Teach You10/31/2007 Geckos and Mussels Inspire New Wet/Dry Adhesive Avatar: a New Hope?By Dr. Hugh Ross Avatar, the movie released just a few weeks ago, already ranks as the second highest earning movie of all time and may exceed the current record holder, Titanic, within a few more weeks. Two aspects of the movie seem to be driving the strong response. Bacteria Help Prepare Earth For Life1/1/2001 Sulfate-reducing bacteria are among the oldest life forms on Earth. They are dominant in the geologic record from 3.9 to 2.9 billion years ago, an era in which oxygen concentrations in Earth’s atmosphere were relatively low. Bacteria's Long Reign4/1/2002 Why do stars twinkle? Why does God sometimes seem silent? Some “why” questions are more elusive than others. Bergmann's Rule And The Optimization Of Life Designs10/5/2009 Bergmann's Rule asserts that the body mass of warm-blooded animals increases with latitude. The rule is named after the German biologist, Christian Bergmann, who first developed it in 1847. Big Bacteria Help Resolve Big Creation/evolution Debates5/7/2007 For most jobs the size of the applicant does not matter. But, there are exceptions: basketball centers must be tall, offensive tackles in professional football must be heavy, and World War II submarine sailors had to be both short and lean. Biology-inspired Adhesion3/3/2010 Ever wanted to scale a shear wall without worrying about losing your grip? Biospheres Deemed Failures7/1/2001 Two tests of space travelers’ ability to support themselves independent of Earth have taken place in the Arizona desert (see www.bio2.edu). In 1991 a team of eight adults were sealed inside a 3.15-acre “capsule” for a two-year stint. Bird Thinks It Can Dance - Soulish Animals Designed To Bring JoySeptember 1, 2009 Sometimes tests for the validity of evolutionary and creation models come from unusual research. In this case it’s a bird’s dancing ability. Black Holes, Singularities, And Wormholes4/1/2001 Two tests of space travelers’ ability to support themselves independent of Earth have taken place in the Arizona desert (see www.bio2.edu). In 1991 a team of eight adults were sealed inside a 3.15-acre “capsule” for a two-year stint. Book Reviews: Speculations On Origins10/1/2001 Were the universe and life purposely designed by an intelligent agent? Many say yes and are content to take the conclusion as reliable and build on it. But the sometimes dangerous, sometimes dreary, job of academics is to probe seemingly reliable truths, no matter how obvious, to see if they are solid or not. Continental Landmass Growth And The Genesis 1 Chronology10/8/2007 Thanks to a spectacular new discovery concerning the geophysical history of the earth, one more detail in biblical author Moses’ chronology of Earth’s creation history has been scientifically verified. The breakthrough yields yet more evidence for the divine inspiration of the Bible’s words and message. First, let me offer some personal background for this discovery. Déjá Vu—again, Part 2 Of 26/26/2008 Newly Discovered Example of Convergence Challenges Biological Evolution Design Of Bird Brains For Long Migrations1/26/2009 Many migrating birds fly all night long. Some fly nonstop across huge ecological barriers like the Gulf of Mexico. For decades, biologists have wondered how these creatures can survive the severe sleep deprivation brought about by such migration habits. Designed To Live, Designed To Die1/1/2008 "Why don't we see new species emerging now?" Charles Darwin faced this question nearly 150 years ago when he proposed the theory of evolution. His answer–all Earth's habitats are full. Do Animals Experience Sin And Guilt?7/27/2009 Some people believe that humans are simply highly evolved animals and, thus, possess no features that are not manifested–at least to a small degree–in other animals. Consequently, some scientists and many in the general public conclude that sin and evil are not unique to humans. Do Animals Possess Foresight?8/17/2009 Many people believe that humans are just highly evolved animals. Thus, humans do not possess any features that are not manifested–at least to a small degree–in other animals. Dogs Catch Human Yawns2/2/2009 The book of Job, especially chapter 39, implies that God created the nephesh creatures (“soulish” animals like birds and mammals) to serve and/or to please human beings. They are termed soulish because God has endowed each of them with a mind, a will, and the capacity to express and experience emotions. Downsized By Design: Life’s Minimum Complexity Supports IdNovember 1, 2011 A lot of people—including biochemists––are downsizing these days. But these scientists have not downscaled begrudgingly out of economic necessity. Instead, they enthusiastically work to simplify things by eliminating unnecessary biochemical systems from bacteria. Equipped For High-tech Society7/1/2004 Human beings seem vastly "over-endowed" for hunter-gatherer or agrarian existence. For tens of thousands of years humanity carried intellectual capacities that offered no discernable advantage. From a Darwinian perspective, such capacities would be unlikely to arise and, even if they had randomly emerged, they would likely have been eliminated or minimized by natural selection. Evidence For God’s Grace In Epilepsy Genes1/22/2010 The old cliché “two wrongs don’t make a right” proves true in many situations, but in the genetics of the brain, two genetic wrongs can make a right Evolvability: A Good Design Principle4/24/2009 Your computer's newest antivirus probably comes with live updates so it can arm itself against the latest trojan-phishing-spyware attack. It may not stop you from doing silly things like sending your bank information to that lovely man from the British lottery that just happens to want to give you a million dollars, but hopefully it will neutralize other less obvious threats. Exotic Life Sites: The Feasibility Of Far-out Habitats10/1/2001 People often joke about the certainty of death and taxes. Astronomers can add another certainty to that short list: Sooner or later someone will ask, “What do you think about the possibility of life out there?” 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. Feedback Control In Biology8/4/2008 Calcium levels of pregnant cows in Iowa may not be the first image that comes to mind when Christian apologists invoke supernatural design, but that appears to be the case based on a recent feedback control study. Flightless Birds Run Down Evolution10/23/2008 Newly Discovered Example of Convergence Challenges Biological Evolution Follow The Water...to Life?1/1/2004 Astrobiology, the search for life beyond Earth, is the fastest growing scientific discipline, at least in terms of increased government funding. However, despite a quadrupling of funds in just six years (compared to a vastly smaller increase for all the other sciences) and despite decades of diligent searching, no one has found any evidence for life beyond planet Earth. Gamma Rays Burst Biological Evolution1/1/2003 The energy released during a gamma ray burst strains the imagination. With the power of 10 billion billion suns, gamma ray bursts are the most brilliant photon emitters in the universe. By comparison, supernovae emit (at peak) the energy equivalent of 100 billion suns. Holy Fish Armor, Batman!10/3/2008 Ancient Armored Fish May Hold Clues to Lighter, Stronger Bioinspired Armor How To Get A Grip And Not Get Stuck: A Gecko's Story3/19/2008 Imagine putting tons of super glue on your hands and feet and trying to climb the Empire State Building like Spider-man. Your dynamic display of agility doesn’t get you too far. You’re stuck! That’s because the chemical bonds between the sticky glue and the building surface are stronger than the force of your weight. Humpback Whale Fins: Fresh Evidence For Design7/1/2008 Intelligence Design9/28/2009 Many science-fiction movies feature aliens with slight bodies and enormous brains. Such portrayals support the theme that an extraterrestrial ecosystem might permit the existence of a superintellect race that could develop the technology for interstellar space travel. Internet Too Slow? We’ll Get Some Bees Right On That!1/14/2008 Bee Foraging Provides Insight on Optimization of Server Allocation Leaf Plumbing Design For Advanced Life3/7/2011 Efficient plumbing is easy to take for granted until it suddenly ceases to be efficient. This point came home to me rather dramatically a few years ago when I received an enormous bill from our water utility company. After shutting off all the water valves in and around our house I noticed that the water meter dial out by our sidewalk was still spinning rapidly. Long Noses Give Insight Into Intelligence And Evolution7/21/2008 Does biological evolution tend towards a direction? And does that direction lead to intelligence that enhances survivability? Many scientists have assumed that it does, particularly those involved in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute. However, a recent article casts doubt on the idea that smartness inevitably gives survival advantage. Mixotrophs - An Evolutionary "nice Try"January 1, 2010 Amid all the celebration last year over the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth and the 150th anniversary of his most famous book, On the Origin of Species, I heard little or no mention of how often attempts to explain life’s history from an evolutionary perspective have provided stunning new evidence for creation. Most Extreme Extremophile3/21/2011 All of us can remember at least one really strange friend, teacher, relative, or associate. Among Earth’s species, too, are many really strange life-forms. Biologists call them extremophiles—life that can’t live under benign conditions but are able to survive and, to some limited extent, even thrive under hostile conditions. A list of well-studied extremophiles includes (-phile = loving; -tolerant = able to put up with): Moving Life And Nutrients Around10/19/2009 Many anecdotal accounts of microorganisms being found in environments that cannot support their metabolic activities can be found in the scientific literature.1 Yet no quantitative measurements existed for the extent to which these microorganisms have been misplaced or for the methods that transported them from their original locations into such hostile environments—until now. Mutations Exceed Expectations4/1/1999 Ironically, modern "advances" could serve to hasten humanity's demise. For the first time, geneticists have measured the proportion of harmful mutations arising in one generation of advanced species. The numbers are staggering. Natural Nucleobase Synthesis?8/27/2007 The replicating molecules of life (DNA and RNA) are composed of different nucleobase molecules linked together by phosphates and five-carbon sugars. New Clues To A Genesis Mystery1/1/2005 Medical doctors say if you live long enough you'll probably get cancer. Cancer is one reason why none of us can live much beyond 120 years.1 How is it possible, then, that humans (before Noah) could have lived 900 years or more, as the Bible says? Reduced exposure to cancer risk factors may provide at least a partial answer. Novel Nitrogen Uptake Design10/26/2009 Molecular nitrogen (N2) comprises about 79 percent of the atmosphere, making it the most abundant element in Earth's atmosphere. Now, Ear This! Technology Inspired By Hearing Organ8/19/2009 Cell phones. Internet. Television. These ubiquitous—and many would argue essential—technologies all rely on the transmission and decoding of radio signals. In particular, the proper function of these devices requires electronics that analyze the distribution and strength of the frequencies in the signal. Nutrient Quantities Must Be Fine-tuned2/8/2010 All life requires carbon and nitrogen. Without adequate quantities of each element sequestered in specific compounds life cannot survive. Ode To Oxygen4/1/2007 My seventh-grade science teacher asked the class to list “the three most essential needs of human life.” The “correct” answer—water, food, and sleep—illustrates how easily people take for granted the air we breathe, specifically its oxygen content. Optimal Memory Design And Benefits Of Forgetting11/9/2009 During speaking events, I am frequently complimented for my "phenomenal memory." People are impressed by the relative ease with which I quote Bible passages from memory or recall the details of arcane scientific discoveries made decades ago. Origin Of Soulish Animals1/6/2009 Ongoing debates over the origin of life have focused only on the origin of the physical attributes of life. The origins of the "soulish" and piritual aspects of Earth's higher life-forms remain largely ignored. Petroleum: God's Well-timed Gift To Mankind9/1/2004 I am old enough to remember the days when gasoline sold for $.26 a gallon. But, even at today's high prices, gasoline is a bargain compared to what it could cost if it were not so easily and abundantly accessible. Recent research by geologists and physicists reveals that humans are living at the best possible time in Earth's history for harvesting petroleum-a resource that helped launch and sustain advanced civilization. Podcast Highlight: Busy As A Beaver1/12/2012 If you were asked to name an animal that has greatly impacted the economic growth of the North American nations, would beavers come to mind? Quantum Mechanics, A Modern Goliath1/1/1989 A few years ago an alarm was sounded like the one that echoed through Israel's camp in the days of King Saul. The giant, this time, is quantum mechanics, heralded by theologians as "the greatest contemporary threat to Christianity."' Physicists have proliferated popular books exploiting the esoteric nature of quantum phenomena to undermine the Christian view of origins. 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 Rare Earth Confirmed5/16/2008 A couple of months ago I discussed an upgrade to the Arecibo Radio Telescope that would make it more effective for searching for intelligent life in outer space (SETI). That article included So Easy A Caveman Could Do It? Part 1 (of 2)8/13/2007 The slogan of the popular Geico commercials is now familiar to most television viewing people. It shows the frustration, resentment, and anger of cavemen toward certain twenty-first century corporate executives who portray their company’s product as being so easy to use that these mere cavemen can do it. It is a marvelously successful ad campaign. So Easy A Caveman Could Do It? Part 2 (of 2)8/20/2007 Last week we explored one aspect of human nature—language—that sets humans apart from animals and we proposed the neural synapse as a mechanism by which a Creator could communicate with humans. In the second part of this article we will consider mind and matter interaction documented by the clinical studies of patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD). Symbiosis Studies Reveal Stunning ComplexityMarch 1, 2010 If you know about the relationship between flowers and bees, you know the basics of symbiosis—two dissimilar species living together interdependently. Symbiosis- More Complex Than We Knew4/1/1999 Biological symbiosis, the mutual dependence of two species on each other (such as bees and flowers) for survival, has often been cited as evidence supporting divine design. Symbiosis demands that two different but uniquely compatible species arise at the same time and in the same place with the morphological structures in place to support the interdependence. Task Partitioning In Ant Colonies9/2/2009 The capacity of individuals within an insect colony to divide their labor for the overall benefit of the whole group highlights an outstanding design feature seen in all species of social insects (such as ants and bees). Thank God For Beaver Dams2/6/2012 Genesis 1:24 mentions rodents as one of three categories of advanced land mammals that God created to serve humanity. Thank God For Carnivores1/3/2011 I have observed both inside and outside the church a growing trend of viewing carnivorous activity as a natural evil that pervades the animal realm. This thinking is especially evident among people who spend their lives cooped up in cities. For those of us who live in cities, our exposure to carnivores and their hunting often is limited to television documentaries of lions, polar bears, wolves, and eagles tearing apart cute, cuddly herbivores. Many wonder how a good God could possibly tolerate such pain and suffering. Thank God For Flowers8/09/2010 A world without flowers would be a world with little romance. What would Valentine’s Day be like without flowers? A planet without flowers would lack much of the beauty we now enjoy. Imagine the scene in Figure 1 below without any flowers. Thank God For Leaf Litterfall10/11/2010 My favorite running trails are paths through forests with tall trees and floors heavily laden with leaf litter. The trees shade me from the heat, and the thick layers of leaves on the forest floor provide ideal cushioning to protect my ankles and back. Thank God For Mountains1/10/2011 I grew up in coastal British Columbia and I must admit that I took for granted all the blessings of a mountainous rainforest environment. It was not until I left British Columbia that I fully appreciated that not every wilderness trail is lined with edible berries, mushrooms, and lilies; not every bend in the path reveals a towering, gushing waterfall, varied birds, mammals, amphibians, or insects do not appear every few feet, and that splendiferous meadow and mountain scenes are not to be had at every turn. Thank God For The Extinction Of Mammoths8/16/2010 It may seem counterintuitive to thank God for an animal species’ extinction, but new research suggests that the catastrophic elimination of larger mammoth species produced manifold benefits for the planet, other animals, and humans in particular. 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 Creation Of Minerals4/20/2009 In this year that marks Charles Darwin's 200th birthday and the 150th anniversary of the publication of his book, On the Origin of Species,1 the debate over creation and evolution has taken a significant evolutionary leap. The Dark And Bright Sides Of Cosmology10/1/2007 Astrophysics has its ironies. Here’s one: Studies of the brightest galaxies in the universe led to the discovery that 99 percent of all matter is "dark matter".1 But matter is only part of the universe (about a fourth). The rest is energy. Adding irony to irony, research focusing on the brightest stars in the universe shows that "dark energy" is far more abundant than dark matter, making up most of the rest of the universe. The Detriment Of Promiscuity11/01/2010 Today, the institution of marriage is under assault like never before. The biblical standard of one man remaining monogamously attached to one woman for life has been diluted to grant an individual the legal right to an unlimited number of divorces and remarriages for any cause or reason. Not only are secularists pushing for the legalization of same-sex marriage, some even are promoting polygamy. The Bible calls all these violations of the biblical marriage standard sexual immorality. The secular term is “promiscuity.” The Ears Have It12/2/2009 Fire alarms. Thunder claps. Explosions. These jarring noises make us jump out of our seats and cause our hearts to race. Our ability to respond immediately to such startling stimuli—and yet still appreciate the soft sound of a gentle breeze or a baby breathing—reflects an ingenious design of the human ear. Timely Appearance Of Land Life Benefits Humans1/1/2001 Two more pieces of evidence strengthen the case for the early appearance of land life. The significance of such findings is two-fold. First, it demonstrates the accuracy of the Genesis 1 record, which says that God created land life early, very early, in the creation week. Second, it demonstrates God’s planning and provision for the needs of advanced life, especially of humans in the development of their civilization. Too Much Sulfur10/6/2008 Recent studies conducted on Venus and Mars illustrate just how carefully fine-tuned a planet’s abundance of sulfur must be for life to be possible. Sulfur plays a crucial role in life chemistry. This fact became personal for me a year ago when I was diagnosed as sulfur deficient. Many protein functions crucially depend on sulfur. Fortunately, most agricultural soils contain plenty of sulfur that vegetables, like onions and garlic, readily absorb. Transport Network Designs Inspired By Plasmodium2/17/2010 > Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration. > I have not failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work. Understated Elegance: The Uniqueness Of Human Biology5/13/2011 During the international coverage of Prince William and Kate Middleton’s wedding, I heard a commentator describe the style of the bride’s gown as “understated elegance.” This phrase is also an apt description of the subtle cellular mechanisms used to create the extraordinary uniqueness of human biology. Before 2001, scientists thought human genes would be sufficiently numerous, complex, and different enough from other species’ genes to account for things like human cognitive ability—but researchers were in for a surprise. Using Flies To Solve Computer Network ProblemsJune 1, 2011 Scientists studying biological organisms like the fruit fly have discovered algorithms that aid in designing Vital Poisons7/1/1999 Perhaps you have noticed the addition of Food and Drug Administration warnings to packages of dietary supplements sold in drug and health food stores. If not, please do. These warning labels subtly announce dramatic new evidence for the divine design of life—and of the earth for sustaining life. 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 Why Shorter Life Spans?1/1/2001 None of the explanations offered in the accompanying article imply that God randomly selected the life span of early humans or that He simply reacted to natural disasters in shortening human life. Why We Need To Return To The Moon5/28/2007 I vividly recall sitting up all night with a dozen other astronomy students as we watched live on television the first men walk on the moon. The Apollo missions were more than just television spectaculars, however. The Apollo program helped us solve the mystery of the moon’s origin and helped establish how amazingly designed the moon is for the support of advanced life on Earth. Our books The Creator and the Cosmos and Origins of Life tell the story. Why Would A Good God Create Parasites?4/1/2005 Some skeptics base their rejection of the Christian faith on bugs-specifically parasites. They argue that the existence of parasites is incompatible with belief in the all-loving, all-powerful God of Christianity. While human beings will never know all God's reasons for creating parasites, the following true story1 illustrates how their existence may be considered a good thing, rather than an excuse for rejecting God.
