Because of their rigid adherence to a failed framework, Darwinists have continuously been surprised at the sophistication of even the simplest organisms.  The researchers examined mycoplasma pneumoniae and found the following.
The inner workings of a supposedly simple bacterial cell have turned out to be much more sophisticated than expected.
An in-depth “blueprint” of an apparently minimalist [...]

Scientific hypotheses can come from anywhere at all (well actually just from an intelligent mind).  One important thing I learned about science in graduate school was, it did not matter where your hypothesis originated, it only mattered that it could be tested and falsified in a rigorous, repeatable, and measurable way.  Scientific notions can arise [...]

Previously, it was considered to be axiomatic that all cells in the human body contained the same DNA. However, recent research found differences between the DNA contained in blood cells and other tissue in the body.
This discovery may undercut the rationale behind numerous large-scale genetic studies conducted over the last 15 years, [...]

From the website NCSE Exposed:
Of course critics of ID (like the folks at the NCSE) should have every right to publish their views within academic circles and should have the full protection of academic freedom. But academic freedom doesn’t just mean the freedom to agree with the predominant viewpoint. Academic freedom in science means nothing [...]

In this post, I seek to take a step back from the ID/evolution debate, and consider things from a Christian perspective.  Jesus often spoke in parables, and explained the reason to his disciples:
“The knowledge of the secrets of heaven has been given to you, but not to them. This is why I speak to them [...]

Roddy Bullock has a good new essay up on ARN:
Of Pots and People
Archeologist with simple piece of pottery: Look what I discovered; I wonder who created it.
Scientist: Wow! What a cool pot; who do you think made it?
Biologist with complex piece of DNA [...]

Junk DNA. It was hailed as being akin to a fossil missing link of evolution that lies within all of us. What happens when that is disproven? Same thing. All that DNA proves evolution.
Cornelius Hunter of Darwin’s God writes:
Tandem repeats are short stretches of DNA that are repeated head-to-tail. “At first [...]

ARN correspondent, Robert Deyes, has written an interesting post entitled, The Designs That Human Endeavors Can Only Approximate And Rarely Surpass. He writes:
Throughout history man has looked to the natural world as the source of inspiration for some of the most exquisite inventions ever seen. Perhaps most famous of all is the Eiffel tower [...]

From time to time, we do like to use computers to look into the distant past. We know how impressed you are by computers. This time, we looked back 4.4 billion years in Earth’s history.(1) We do discover through the use of our simulations that life may have survived the massive asteroid bombardment [...]
