Macro vs. Micro Evolution"Welcome Back My Friends to the Show that Never Ends"
11/5/2009 Sometimes the creation/evolution debate resembles a three-ring circus with many different perspectives and personalities vying for the center ring. The latest act features Oxford evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins and his new book, The Greatest Show on Earth. "Welcome Back My Friends to the Show that Never Ends," Part 2

12/17/2009 A Chapter-by-Chapter Response to Richard Dawkins' The Greatest Show on Earth In his latest work, The Greatest Show on Earth, Oxford biologist Richard Dawkins compares evolutionary biologists to detectives investigating a crime scene. A Second Opinion on the Giant Panda's Thumb
1/1/1999 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. Continental Landmass Growth and the Genesis 1 Chronology
10/8/2007 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. Evidence That Humans Are Evolving Is Not Evidence for Human Evolution
5/24/2007 Ancient DNA Analysis Sheds Insight into the Micro-Evolutionary Origin of Lactase Persistence Evolution as Mythology, Part 1 (of 5): The Theory of Evolution is a Myth
5/5/2008 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 Theory
5/12/2008 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 Abiogenesis
5/19/2008 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 Macroevolution
5/19/2008 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): Conclusion
5/19/2008 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. Long Noses Give Insight into Intelligence and Evolution
7/21/2008 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. Long-Term Evolution Experiment: Evidence for the Evolutionary Paradigm? Part 2 (of 2)
11/19/2009 When Samuel Johnson said, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions," he was paraphrasing St. Bernard of Claurivax (1091-1153) who said, "Hell is full of good intentions or desires." Long-Term Evolution Experiment: Evidence for the Evolutionary Paradigm?, Part 1 (of 2)
11/12/2009 "Seeing is believing." Many evolutionary biologists lean on this old adage to argue for the validity of the evolutionary paradigm. They claim that evolution must be a fact, because we can observe it happening. Photosynthesis Is Not Enough
9/22/2008 After the first appearance of life on Earth, the Great Oxygenation Event marked the biggest chemical transformation of the planet. This event occurred approximately 2.4 billion years ago. The oxygen content of Earth’s atmosphere rose from just one thousandth of a percent (10-5) of its present level (about 21 percent of the total volume of the atmosphere) to several percent of its present level. Rapid Post-Flood Speciation: A Critique of the Young-Earth Model
8/25/2004 Creationists disagree on the extent of Noah’s Flood. The main reason young-earth creationists insist the Flood was a global event is their model demands it. The Flood is the mechanism they use to explain the earth’s geological features. Rather than forming over millions or billions of years as most scientists believe, young-earth creationists maintain the earth’s features are the result of global floodwaters and processes that accompanied the Flood, like erosion, volcanism and tectonics. The Shell Game of Evolution and Creation
1/1/1987 The many debates, court cases, letters to the editor, and talk shows on the subject of evolution and creation almost without exception demonstrate the shell game played with the terms creationism, evolution, science, religion, and faith. Virus Argument No Longer Immune to Challenge
1/1/2001 The apparent ability of certain viruses, such as HIV, to develop (“evolve”) immunity to drug treatment represents convincing, real-time proof of evolutionary advance, according to some biologists.
