A scriptural framework leads to specific expectations about the genetic differences among humans and other species, expectations that can be scientifically tested against modern genetic data. Genetics confirms the recent, supernatural creation of Adam and Eve and refutes the evolutionary narrative on human origins.
The progress of science over the last 150 years has not only rebutted Darwin’s central arguments for evolution; it has also replaced them with an entirely different scientific explanation for the origin of species. Recent research on Darwin’s finches has confirmed this bold pronouncement.
Venema took Tomkins’ claims to task on the BioLogos website regarding the supposed remnants of an egg-laying gene (vitellogenin) in human DNA.
BioLogos has engaged in systematic scientific error on one of their “evidences” for evolution, and they have misrepresented the arguments for several years.
In this article, we explore Venema’s claims in Adam and the Genome about genetic sequences that he thinks have lost their function.
Venema claims that the published, comprehensive genetic comparisons between humans and chimpanzees reveal a genetic identity of 95–98%.
In our series, we’ve discovered ample support that evolutionists fit facts to conclusions. In this article, we’ll continue to explore whether it is true.
In this post, we begin exploring Venema’s evidences in chapter two of Adam and the Genome, titled “Genomes as Language, Genomes as Books.”
In this article, Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson reviews chapter 1 (written by Venema and titled “Evolution as a Scientific Theory”) of Adam and the Genome.
It appears that Venema fits facts to his preconceived conclusions. Data and facts from YEC scientists that contradicted his claims were left out.
The recent publication of Adam and the Genome illustrated how evolutionists find new and more nuanced ways to contradict the biblical account.
Duff’s article explicitly and exclusively focuses on criticizing the YEC view of speciation, rather than on supporting the evolutionary view.
For more than a century Christians have looked for the scientific silver bullet that would destroy Darwinian evolution and prove biblical creation to be true.
We haven’t heard much about stem cells lately. Why?
All of these data together lead to testable scientific predictions that put the evolutionary and old-earth creation models to shame.
When God created the kinds, He frontloaded them with genetic differences—with the potential to form all sorts of new species and varieties.
The major remaining question is how tens of thousands of species could arise in a few thousand years.
We need to know how these Ark ancestors can multiply fast enough to generate enough bodies to possess these new traits.
Since species are defined by traits and characteristics that are heritable, the origin of species is a fundamentally genetic question.
Careful reexamination of the first two chapters of Darwin’s seminal work, On the Origin of Species, leads to a surprising conclusion.
Today’s species are the link between the past and the present. The genetics of the species around us today contain the echo of the Ark.
