Biomimicry: The Search for Brilliant Design–by David Steen

Creation, Flood and Biogeography: Part 3–by L. James Gibson

The third part of this series on biogeography examines how the flood might have influenced the present patterns of distributions of various types of living organisms.

Teeming Creatures of the Sea!–by Stephen Dunbar

The number of different kinds of living organisms is one measure of biological diversity, or what has become known as “biodiversity.” Our world’s oceans have the highest known biodiversity, second only to the number of species found in the tropical rainforest.

Microbes, Symbiosis, and the Lesson of Interdependence–by Suzanne Phillips

Organisms in Their Niche: Passive Modeling Clay or Problem-Solving Entities?–by Randy J. Guliuzza

One person’s cultural background can bias their view about people from other cultures… even before they have ever met. Could people also have a bias about how they think about other creatures? It may even be possible that scientific culture could prejudice the way researchers see creature-environmental relations with the potential to bias whole research programs.

A Review of the Nature Documentary “The Riot and the Dance”–by Ronny Nalin

Most nature documentaries include some language that refers to an underlying naturalistic understanding of origins. However, the recently released nature documentary “The Riot and the Dance” breaks this common pattern in a refreshing way.

Is There Biological Evidence of Life's Recent Creation?–by Timothy G. Standish

Incomplete Ecosystems–by Ariel A. Roth

The fact that animals need plants poses a problem for the evolutionary model, since the record of past life sometimes reveals non-viable ecosystems.

What is the Meaning of Kinds in Genesis?–by L. James Gibson

The words kind and kinds that are mentioned in the Creation narrative of Genesis 1:21, 24, and 25. How are we to understand these terms in a modern context? How do they relate to current terms and classifications in biology?

The Riddle of Migratory Birds: Another Evidence of God’s Design–by Kyu Bong Lee

How does one account for bird migrations? Why do they migrate at all? How do they know when it’s time to begin the long journey? What guides their flight path and direction? How do they know their destination, and how do they prepare for the trip?

Ecology, Biodiversity, and Creation: A View from the Top–by Henry A. Zuill

The complex and vitally essential ecology and biodiversity we find in nature today, at the top of the structural hierarchy of nature, suggest that many interacting organisms would have been required right from the beginning. Only a short-term creation would provide such ecosystem requirements.

Caenorhabditis elegans as a Model to Understand the Role of Epigenetic Heritage in Microevolution–by Tiago A. J. de Souza

What a Wood Warbler Can Tell us About “Filling the Earth”–by L. James Gibson

Hybridization among wood warblers suggests “filling the earth” through dispersal, speciation and adaptation to local habitats.

Prolonged Milk Provisioning in a Jumping Spider–by L. James Gibson

A jumping spider has been discovered to produce a kind of milk to nourish its babies, in a manner similar to what mammals do.

Genesis Kinds and the Sea Urchin–by L. James Gibson

The idea that different types of organisms were created and commanded to reproduce "after their kinds" seems widely believed among creationists. It may therefore come as a surprise to many to learn the idea is not stated in the Bible.

Genetic Similarity Does Not Necessarily Mean Common Inheritance–by L. James Gibson

Different populations of stickleback fish have parallel genetic adaptations to similar local habitats.

Two Jellyfish Genomes Are as Different as Humans and Sea Urchins–by L. James Gibson

Comparison of genomes of jellyfish and sea anemones highlights the importance of orphan genes in taxonomically close organisms.

The Giant Flightless Birds Have Similar Changes in Regulatory Genes Leading to Flightlessness–by L. James Gibson

Is the genetic basis of loss of flight due to mutations in protein-coding genes or in regulatory genes?

Different Colors on Different Soils–by L. James Gibson

The specific genes have been identified that cause a lizard to match the black rocks it lives on.

Cnidarian Venom Evolution: Nothing New Under the Sun–by David Nelsen

Cnidarians appear to have recruited as toxins the same kinds of proteins recruited by many other venomous animals. However, toxin diversity within groups of organisms does not appear to be related to the alleged evolutionary history of the various groups.

Design in Crane Fly Eyes–by L. James Gibson
