Posted by Fazale 'Fuz' Rana, Ph.D. Evolutionary biologists regard “junk” DNA as one of the most potent pieces of evidence for biological evolution. Often identical (or nearly identical) segments of junk DNA occur in a wide range of related organisms. Bacteria: Ordered and Organized

Posted by Fazale ‘Fuz’ Rana, Ph.D. New Study Uncovers More Evidence for Biochemical Optimization and Intelligent Design Biochemists Ask, "How Low Can Life Go?"
Fazale (Fuz) R. Rana, Ph.D. "How low can you go?" This familiar call challenges limbo dancers to maneuver their way under a stick held ever closer to the ground. Some biochemists have taken part in a stick dance of their own. Advances in molecular biology make it possible for scientists to take up the challenge of determining "How low can life go?" as they assess life's minimal complexity. Bombarded by Design
David H. Rogstad, Ph.D. “Biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose.” — Richard Dawkins, atheist biologist, in The Blind Watchmaker Creation vs. Evolution: Why a Model Is Essential
8/25/2008 The public debate about teaching intelligent design has exposed widespread confusion both inside and outside the church about how the scientific enterprise operates. One of the most frequent complaints scientists make about the Intelligent Design movement is that their brand of intelligent design is not testable, falsifiable, or predictive.

Study of Sexual Parasite Reveals Function for Junk DNAMutations Exceed Expectations
by Hugh Ross assisted by Guillermo Gonzalez 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. 10,11 New Clues to a Genesis Mystery
By Hugh Ross, Ph.D. The biblical record of patriarchs who lived 900+ years has raised questions and doubts for centuries. In the context of current life expectancy (which places me on the brink of “senior citizen” status), some Bible readers assume the “years” in the Genesis 5 and 11 chronologies must have been shorter than the familiar 12-month whirl around the Sun. But there’s nothing in the text or in other ancient records to support such a view and much to contradict it. Opossum Genome Leaves Evolution’s Best Argument Dead in the Road

Summary of Reasons To Believe's Testable Creation Model
By Hugh Ross, Ph.D. Posted 02-07-2000 One reason we evangelicals have had so little impact on secular society with our creation teachings is that we try to teach Genesis without presenting a testable creation model. We either focus all of our guns on what is wrong with naturalism or we duck the issue by claiming that Genesis presents no specific creation model. Thus, we are perceived by society as either negative or cowardly. Traffic Signals in the Cell
