The Creator filled the earth with all the chemicals that living things could ever need. But special “go-betweens” were necessary to move these treasures from their safe hiding places and convert them into forms we can use. That’s where bacteria come in.
Evolutionists must explain how cells, once they emerged from lifeless matter, diversified into the many life forms we see today. It is supposed that some extinct ancestor of the archaebacteria and eubacteria developed the necessary biologic machinery to survive.
Who knew that a well-known parasite might lead to the next major breakthrough in medical treatment? Scientists are leading the way to understand how microscopic creatures (primarily Giardia lamblia) move through the bloodstream. The goal? Construct micro-robots that can navigate the dangerous twists and turns of the bloodstream.
Scientists discovered that water bears can survive pressure up to six times the deepest ocean trench’s pressure. When subjected to the complete vacuum of space and direct radiation from the sun, they lived. Water bears can even survive for almost ten years totally dehydrated. To resurrect them, all you have to do is add water.
The Creator filled the earth with all the chemicals that living things could ever need. Bacteria play a special role in converting them into forms we can use.
PDF DownloadEven though some strains are pathogenic, most E. coli strains still show evidence of being one of God’s “very good” creations.
Bacteria may seem like senseless life-forms, but researchers have discovered that the tiny organisms have a sense of smell.
Microbiology is dominated by evolution today. Just look at any text, journal article, or the topics presented at professional scientific meetings.
We’ve responded to the claim that antibiotics cause microbes to “evolve” resistance. Is the idea that disinfectants “train” microbes to become resistant any different?
It could be “the most thorough study ever of a single organism,” and what is the unsurprising conclusion? “[E]ven the simplest creatures are more complex than scientists suspected,” reports Wired’s Brandon Keim.
Through complex biochemical interactions, there is actual communication between the gut lining and the microbiota to establish a healthy equilibrium. Communication that reflects the Creator.
PDF DownloadToday, we take for granted that germs cause disease, and many people fear them. Yet for centuries, the concept of germs was virtually unknown.
PDF DownloadAfter tens of thousands of years trapped in ice, an ancient species “wakes up.” Is it science news or the plot of a low-budget movie?
Microbes and viruses were created as a link between macro-organisms and a chemically rich but inert physical environment.
PDF DownloadMuch has been made of laminin having a cross shape. But should we look for such “signs” to prove the accuracy of God’s Word?
PDF DownloadTiny bacteria-bound flagella have a clutch-controlled microscopic motor much like that of ordinary automobiles, according to research conducted at Indiana University–Bloomington and Harvard University.
Microbes thought by some to be as old as eight million years are now alive and well (along with their progeny) in a lab at Rutgers University, reports the BBC.
Although Ernst Haeckel’s dishonest drawings of embryos, purported proofs of evolution, have long since been uncovered as frauds, the use of embryos in support of evolutionary theory continues to this day.
Evidence for the origin of life confirms the biblical account that God supplied the information for complex features when He created each kind.
Rather than being added on during evolution by accident, some endogenous retroviruses must have been incorporated into the initial design of eukaryotic life.
Two articles make claims of having sequenced even smaller bacterial genomes.
What do your skin, a compost pile and Lake Superior all have in common? Each of them is home to an abundance of microscopic germs, properly called bacteria.
We are being bombarded by numerous scientific reports describing the discovery of ‘living’ organisms or parts of organisms in ‘old’ rocks.
In October 2000, researchers led by Professor Russell Vreeland from Pennsylvania’s West Chester University claimed to have revived bacteria which had lain dormant, trapped within salt crystals s
As a microbiologist, the bacterial flagellum has always fascinated me.
Microscopes are marvellous modern-day tools. You may not own one yourself, but they are used daily for many processes to help you live better.
Those who study biology may not believe in evolution, but they cannot find a way to say this or put it into practice since everything they read or think is done in evolutionary terms.
Can an organism survive billions of years of evolution without evolving?
