God Created Plant Pollinator Partners
| Answers in Genesis Although some plant species rely on wind or water to transfer pollen from one flower to the next, the vast majority of all plant species need the help of animals for pollination.
Echolocation Provides Supporting Evidence for Creationists
| Answers in Genesis Both bats and dolphins (a type of toothed whale) are known for their abilities to “echolocate,” or use sonar to capture prey. This capability, fascinating in its own right, shows that creationists can explain some things that evolutionists cannot.
Worms for Brains
| Answers in Genesis Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Germany have made “overwhelming” discoveries that, according to the researchers, show that worm nervous systems and the human brain are distant cousins.
Engineers Look to Dolphins for Improved Sonar
| Answers in Genesis It’s another case of science turning to God’s design for inspiration: a study published in Bioinspiration & Biomimetics (which focuses on such natural inspiration) describes how engineers may be taking a cue from dolphins in devising improved sonar systems.

creation-question-snowflakes/1 page
Creation Question: Snowflakes
| Answers in Genesis Snowflakes show beautiful design patterns, which appear highly ordered, and which arise by themselves under simple freezing conditions. Does this support evolution of complex life from simpler life?
Creation in a Basket
| Answers in Genesis I believe that most of the scientists living in Charles Darwin's time would have rejected his mechanistic theory of evolution had they had a modern grasp of the complexity of the chemistry of life.
intelligent-design/1 page [+48 in 48 subfolders]
Intelligent Design
| Answers in Genesis Intelligent Design, with its arguments for irreducible complexity, seems like a good alternative to the evolutionary worldview, but is the ID movement Christian?

| Answers in Genesis You may have seen headlines recently with phrases like “lizard-men,” “leftovers from our lizard evolution,” or even “human embryos go through lizard stage.” These headlines were reporting on a study that claims that human embryos supposedly have muscles not found in adult humans, but are found in lizards.
ravens-are-evolving-ravens/1 page
Ravens Are Evolving Into . . . Ravens
| Answers in Genesis Examples of adaptation, speciation, and natural selection are used as evidence for molecules-to-man evolution—but they’re not! What they show are examples of what God’s Word teaches—everything reproduces according to their kinds. And, according to a new study, ravens produce—you guessed it—ravens!
big-bang/1 page [+55 in 55 subfolders]
Big Bang
| Answers in Genesis Does observational science support the big bang, the idea that 13 billion years ago all matter came from nothing and eventually formed everything we see today?
The Big Bang
| Answers in Genesis How did this universe come into existence? Did God use “natural” methods to create the universe, or did He create everything supernaturally?
no-beginning-for-big-bang/1 page
No Beginning for the Big Bang?
| Answers in Genesis Those who claim to see the big bang in the Bible start by assuming the big bang model is true and then read the big bang into the Bible. This return to an eternal universe within the big bang model is indicative of the foolishness of relying upon man’s ideas to interpret Scripture.
The Big Bang?
| Answers in Genesis Many people believe that the big bang is compatible with the biblical account of Creation. However, in order to make the big bang fit into the Bible, the biblical explanation is rearranged.
The Axis of Evil and the Cold Spot—Sear-ious Problems for the Big Bang?
| Answers in Genesis The linchpin for the big bang remains the existence of the CMB, the one clear prediction of the model. However, as is often the case, the devil is in the details. It’s ironic that the very thing that supposedly is the proof of the big bang model may turn out to be its undoing.
two-big-bangs/1 page
Two Big Bangs?
| Answers in Genesis How did the universe begin? The explanation of a new hypothesis of “two Big Bangs” reads exactly like fiction—because it is!
Is the Universe Expanding?
| Answers in Genesis Why astronomers believe in an expanding universe, how the universe isn’t “expanding into” anything, and the reasons biblical creationists should be careful when arguing against the big bang
Massive Galaxies in the Early Universe
| Answers in Genesis A new study raises another problem that no one seems to be talking about. The big bang model posits that the universe began with only hydrogen and helium, and a very tiny amount of lithium. But cosmic dust is made of heavier elements, such as silicon, oxygen, and iron. Where did this galaxy dust come from?
Inflated Claims
| Answers in Genesis Astronomers claim they finally have tangible proof of the big bang, thanks in part to a radio telescope in Antarctica that detected gravitational waves.
Vatican Backs the Big Bang Theory
| Answers in Genesis Based on the press reports, the Roman Catholic Church continues to accept the big bang model of universal origins, but the pope makes it clear that believers should still see a divine mind behind the bang.
Scientists Found Nothing, Delighted

More Peeks at Darwin’s Beaks
| Answers in Genesis When Darwin went to the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador, he noticed that island finches had developed a variety of beak sizes, and he speculated on how that happened.
The Continual Evolutionary Hype
| Answers in Genesis I am very impressed with the quality of your presentation, with the media savvy with which you present your case, and the quality and clarity of your responses to evolutionary questions.
Darwinism—A Cult?
| Answers in Genesis Sometimes logic and reason against the tide of evolutionary indoctrination come to the fore in surprising places.

Compelling Convergence
| Answers in Genesis A computer analysis comparing the bone strength of pelicans and whales is said to provide “compelling evidence” for convergent evolution. Because both pelicans and rorqual whales stretch their jaws wide to engulf large amounts of water along with their next meal, both need very strong jaws.
Evolution ‘Probably’ Happened?
| Answers in Genesis “I was reading several articles that you have on the possiblity of single self-replicating cell forming and I almost laughed at how one sided and stupid it was.”
A Look at Some Figures
| Answers in Genesis Evolutionists generally believe that although the spontaneous generation of life from non-living matter was a highly improbable event, the amount of time available is long enough to overcome this problem.
Billions of People in Thousands of Years?
| Answers in Genesis Creationists are often asked, “How is it possible for the earth’s population to reach billions of people if the world is only about 6,000 years old and if there were just two humans in the beginning?”
“Doubting Evolution Is like Believing the Earth Is Flat.”
| Answers in Genesis The fact that some people in history believed the earth to be flat highlights the fallibility of man’s reasoning. Throughout history, scientists’ confident assertions have later been disproven. To misrepresent and discredit creationists by comparing their position to a belief in a flat earth is a straw-man fallacy.
Ironing Out the Problems
| Answers in Genesis Several years ago scientists made a startling discovery that seemed to undermine the claim that dinosaurs lived over 65 million years ago.
Biological Evolution

popular culture that many people think
creationists deny basic facts of life.
Demystifying “Genetic Drift”
| Answers in Genesis One of the keys to the origin of species is a concept that few have heard of—genetic drift—the simple application of statistics to basic genetics.

This idea of the spontaneous generation of life from nonlife was so deeply ingrained in biological thought that it took nearly 200 years of experimental evidence to completely disprove it.
Origin of Life Problems for Naturalists
| Answers in Genesis The origin of life is a complicated biological problem for those who deny God’s existence. In fact, it is so much an issue that many naturalists refuse even to discuss it.
