Transitional FormsA 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. 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. Evolution Loses Its Direction
1/24/2008 Fossil evidence reveals that evolutionary change is seldom directional Evolution Loses Its Equilibrium
1/31/2008 Punctuated equilibrium doesn’t have a viable mechanism Extinction Risks For Birds
4/1/2001 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. Feathered Dinosaur or Flightless Bird?
10/1/2000 A recent collaborative study by scientists from Oregon State, Purdue (at Fort Wayne), Johns-Hopkins, and the College of Charleston provides evidence that the once highly touted feathered dinosaur, Caudipteryx, was more likely a flightless bird.1 First Chimpanzee Fossils Cause Problems for Evolution
1/1/2006 Where were you on September 1, 2005? Perhaps you missed the announcement of a scientific breakthrough: the influential journal Nature published the completed sequence of the chimpanzee genome. Is There a Controversy about Evolution?
4/1/2006 "Teaching the controversy" is controversial. Sides have been drawn. Marine Body Sizes Add Weight to Creation Model
1/1/2001 Evolution predicts change over time, not stasis; so researchers continue to search for an organism that shows significant evolutionary change. A recent analysis of marine creatures, however, revealed the unexpected: not the shift in body sizes predicted by evolutionary theory, but rather, an optimal body size unchanged for millions of years. New Challenge to the Bird-Dinosaur Link
4/1/2000 In the Liaoning Province of The People’s Republic of China, researchers are combing an extremely rich fossil site, the Yixian Formation. It contains remarkably well-preserved remains of plants, insects, invertebrates, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and dinosaurs. Tetrapod Transitions: Evidence for Design
1/1/2009 The ubiquitous bumper sticker featuring a fish sprouting legs has symbolized a sometimes rancorous contemporary debate: Does evolution or creation better explain life's history? Recent fossil finds have put literal and figurative legs on the controversy by challenging Charles Darwin's paradigm-shifting theory. The Leap to Two Feet: The Sudden Appearance of Bipedalism
10/1/2001 Did man crawl his way into existence over millions of years? Or did he leap to two feet by supernatural design? Did humans emerge from amoebas or did a Creator intend for life to possess purpose, value, and meaning? Weeding out Evolution: Book Reviews of Icons of Evolution and Science & Christianity: Four Views

1/28/2010 It was not one of my finer moments. I was on my junior high school’s basketball team and we were headed out for an away game. Whale Ankles- No Support for Neodarwinism
4/1/2000 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 Transitional FormsScientists Discover "Frogamander" Fossil
