  The Cooling of Thick Igneous Bodies on a Young Earth

  Aug. 5, 2009 from Answers in Depth

  One of the scientific objections to a young earth is the apparent evidence that large plutons of granitic and other igneous intrusive rocks necessarily required millions of years to cool from magmas.

  Potentially Decisive Evidence Against Pseudogene “Shared Mistakes”

  Dec. 1, 2004, pp. 63–69

  Recent discoveries of function in certain pseudogenes have led to the recognition, by some evolutionists, of widespread function in pseudogenes.

  Irreducible Complexity: Some Candid Admissions by Evolutionists

  Aug. 1, 2003, pp. 56–59

  Although some evolutionists try to deny the existence of irreducible complexity, others, while using different wording, tacitly admit that it is a serious problem for organic evolution.

  Pseudogene Function: More Evidence

  Aug. 1, 2003, pp. 15–18

  According to standard evolutionary thinking, pseudogenes are simply disabled copies of genes.

  Bird Evolution: Discontinuities and Reversals

  April 1, 2003, pp. 88–94

  Theropod dinosaurs, widely accepted as the ancestors of birds, do not show a step-by-step gradational change to Archaeopteryx, the first known bird.

  Pseudogene Function: Regulation of Gene Expression

  April 1, 2003, pp. 47–52

  The discovery of a functional nitric oxide synthase (NOS) pseudogene compels us to understand pseudogenes in a new light.

  Walking Whales, Nested Hierarchies, and Chimeras: Do They Exist?

  April 1, 2002, pp. 111–119

  The trends cited in whale evolution are rather superficial in nature, and little different from those that become apparent by lining up wheeled vehicles within a cladogram.

  Field Studies in the Columbia River Basalt, Northwest USA

  April 1, 2002, pp. 103–110

  Taken together, the features of the Columbia River basalts suggest that they were mostly extruded and emplaced during the Late Abative Phase of the Recessive Stage of the Flood.

  More Evidence Against So-Called Paleokarst

  Dec. 1, 2001, pp. 100–104

  A long-accepted mid-Carboniferous ‘paleokarst’ in the western United States fails several tests for subaerial exposure at the time of ‘karstification.’

  Much-Inflated Carbon-14 Dates from Subfossil Trees: A New Mechanism

  Dec. 1, 2001, pp. 43–44

  Artificially-inflated 14C dates have been found to occur when trees absorb ‘infinitely old’ carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere from local, volcanogenic, subterranean sources.

  Eviscerating Eldredge: A Review

  Aug. 1, 2001, pp. 13–16

  There is a plethora of anti-creationist books on the market, most of which are so inaccurate that they are hardly worth dignifying with a review. This book is little better.

  The Rapid Formation of Granitic Rocks: More Evidence

  Aug. 1, 2001, pp. 122–125

  It was once thought that granitic magma was so viscous that it would take hundred of millions of years for granitic rocks to form.

  Mammal-like Reptiles: Major Trait Reversals and Discontinuities

  April 1, 2001, pp. 44–52

  Evolutionists repeatedly claim that their assembled chain of mammal-like reptiles shows a step-by-step morphological progression to mammals.

  Are Pseudogenes ‘Shared Mistakes’ Between Primate Genomes?

  Dec. 1, 2000, pp. 55–71

  The claim that pseudogenes and their respective variations are shared between primates in a nested hierarchy, and can only be explained through common evolutionary descent, is found wanting.
