The Origin of Species After the Flood
Modern science is giving us even more windows into this enigma of antiquity. The more we learn about the origin of species, the more hints we gain into Noah’s vistas. The stamp of the Flood reverberates all the way down to the present day—in the form of genetics.

Why Don’t More People Accept the Young-Earth View of Speciation?Aug. 6, 2016
All of these data together lead to testable scientific predictions that put the evolutionary and old-earth creation models to shame.

Did Natural Selection Play a Role in Speciation?July 30, 2016
When God created the kinds, He frontloaded them with genetic differences—with the potential to form all sorts of new species and varieties.

Getting Enough Genetic DiversityJuly 23, 2016
The major remaining question is how tens of thousands of species could arise in a few thousand years.

Getting Enough BodiesJuly 16, 2016
We need to know how these Ark ancestors can multiply fast enough to generate enough bodies to possess these new traits.

A Spectacular Confirmation of Darwin’s Argument—for GenesisJuly 9, 2016
Since species are defined by traits and characteristics that are heritable, the origin of species is a fundamentally genetic question.

Did Darwin Argue That Species Originated Recently?July 2, 2016
Careful reexamination of the first two chapters of Darwin’s seminal work, On the Origin of Species, leads to a surprising conclusion.

Tracing the Fate of the Animals that Survived the Post-Flood ExtinctionJune 18, 2016
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.

What Happened to the Animals After Noah’s Ark?June 11, 2016
After the animals Noah took on board the Ark survived the Flood and stepped off the ship around 4,500 years ago, where did they go? What was their fate?

When Did the Animals Exit the Ark?June 4, 2016
If you search Genesis 1–11, you won’t find an explicit time stamp for the disembarking event. So when did the Ark land? When did animals restart their lives?

Which Animals Were On the Ark with Noah?May 28, 2016
Male and female animals were on board Noah’s Ark to reproduce after the Flood. This has profound ramifications for identifying what the kinds looked like.

Can We Find Noah’s Animals . . . in the Modern World?May 14, 2016
The more we learn about the origin of species, the more we know about Noah’s Ark. The Flood reverberates to the present day in the form of genetics.
