Genetic research reveals a “rescue” gene in fruit flies that allows cross-species offspring to survive but results in sterility or weakened health. This gene poses a problem for evolutionary theory, as it offers no clear benefit for survival or reproduction. Such discoveries highlight God’s design in maintaining distinct biological kinds. Image: Fe…

Unlike most jellyfish, the velella has an asymmetrical body with a uniquely angled S-shaped sail that allows it to “sail” up to 60° off the wind direction, much like a skilled sailor. Velellas can even adjust their sailing angle by moving their tentacles. Even scientists who deny a Creator acknowledge this intricate functionality. Image: Velella, W…

Thomas Jefferson was a remarkably accomplished polymath who mastered multiple languages and made significant contributions across many fields, including science and philosophy. He opposed evolutionary ideas, arguing that the precise design in nature more strongly supports belief in a Creator. Jefferson’s legacy shows that even non-Christians can re…

Astronomical observations challenge key aspects of the Big Bang theory. The proposed solution of "cold dark matter" has been increasingly rejected even by leading scientists who once supported it. This scientific uncertainty invites consideration of the Bible’s message and the Creator’s love through Jesus Christ as a firmer foundation. For more cre…

Human language depends on unique anatomical features like vocal cords and specialized brain structure. The ability to learn language early in life and the existence of feral children highlight language’s divine design. According to Scripture, language originated from God’s communication with Adam and is meant not only for everyday use but also to p…

Some moth species in North America can generate enough body heat to remain active in freezing temperatures, despite their small size and limited energy stores. Researchers suspect these moths obtain energy through a unique relationship with red squirrels that tap sugar maple sap. This surprising warmth in insects challenges assumptions that such tr…

Our sense of hearing is marvelously designed, with tiny ear bones amplifying minuscule vibrations and thousands of hair cells in the cochlea converting these into electrical signals for the brain. The ear’s sensitivity is finely tuned to avoid internal body noises, aided by the absence of blood vessels in critical areas. For more creation resources…

The jumping spider claims territory by waving its legs, a behavior mimicked by a certain striped fruit fly that waves its wings to appear like a rival spider - thus avoiding predation. This trick works because the spider’s brain is hardwired to react automatically to the pattern, demonstrating a complex interaction between species. Image: Zonosemat…

Many Bible critics, influenced by evolutionary beliefs, treat the Bible as a flawed human document and claim to find errors in its historical accounts. However, archaeological discoveries—such as the existence of the Hittites and early presence of the Ammonites—have repeatedly confirmed the Bible’s accuracy. Image: Tel Siran bottle at the Jordan de…

If the universe were infinite and filled uniformly with stars, the night sky would never be dark, but bright everywhere. Modern research suggests the night sky’s darkness is because the universe is not old enough for starlight to fill all space. This fits with the idea of a designed universe created to support life, including the essential cycle of…

The counterintuitive theory of stochastic resonance shows that adding just the right amount of noise can make a weak signal easier to detect, a fact proven by science in the 1980s. This principle is used in technology and is believed to be naturally built into the human brain to help us focus on a single voice in a noisy environment. Such sophistic…
