Echolocation Provides Supporting Evidence for Creationists
| Answers in Genesis Both bats and dolphins (a type of toothed whale) are known for their abilities to “echolocate,” or use sonar to capture prey. This capability, fascinating in its own right, shows that creationists can explain some things that evolutionists cannot.
Worms for Brains
| Answers in Genesis Researchers at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in Germany have made “overwhelming” discoveries that, according to the researchers, show that worm nervous systems and the human brain are distant cousins.
Engineers Look to Dolphins for Improved Sonar

Church of England Offers Posthumous Apology to Darwin
| Answers in Genesis As part of the celebration of the 200th anniversary of Darwin’s birth, the Church of England is issuing an apology of sorts to Darwin for its previous “anti-evolutionary fervour.” The response from Darwin’s descendants? Thanks, but no thanks.
Was Darwin Wrong?
| Answers in Genesis Mount St. Helens in southwest Washington State, USA, has awakened, and lava is oozing out. The volcano’s renewed activity is being keenly watched by creationist geologists.

Exposing the Presuppositions of Darwin
| Answers in Genesis I was brought up without religion and accepted the teachings of Darwin.... I could not accept the Bible as true when the Genesis account of our origins was the antithesis of the ‘facts’ of evolution.

Charles Darwin and the Golden Rule
| Answers in Genesis How strange that the man who could make such a rational and obvious statement on the source of morality could also be the prime mover of the theory which has led to such a widespread disbelief in God.
All in the Mind
| Answers in Genesis The influence of belief in evolution upon the early developing psychoanalysis movement cannot be overemphasized.

A Tale of Two Graves
| Answers in Genesis Having read about the great revivals of generations ago in Britain, I was shocked the first time I visited that country to realize there was hardly a vestige of biblical Christianity in public life.

Evolutionary Rebel Attacks Darwin
| Answers in Genesis The reviewer of the book writes, ‘Evolutionary biology is currently beset by an almost bewildering array of diverse opinions.’ This contrasts with the impression gained by the general public.

Probability of Evolution
| Answers in Genesis Mathematical and probability calculations powerfully demonstrate the impossibility of biological evolution to produce the diversity and complexity of life.
Applying Probabilities to Evolution
| Answers in Genesis This article will mathematically model one simple aspect of cell formation and, using mathematical statistics, compute the expected waiting time for this structure to occur.
Compelling Convergence
| Answers in Genesis A computer analysis comparing the bone strength of pelicans and whales is said to provide “compelling evidence” for convergent evolution. Because both pelicans and rorqual whales stretch their jaws wide to engulf large amounts of water along with their next meal, both need very strong jaws.
Evolution ‘Probably’ Happened?
| Answers in Genesis “I was reading several articles that you have on the possiblity of single self-replicating cell forming and I almost laughed at how one sided and stupid it was.”
A Look at Some Figures
| Answers in Genesis Evolutionists generally believe that although the spontaneous generation of life from non-living matter was a highly improbable event, the amount of time available is long enough to overcome this problem.

A Second Bombshell for Replacing Darwin?
| Answers in Genesis Consistent with the young-earth creation explanation for the origin of species, the scientific community recently observed the formation of a new bird species in real time. But how did this new species form? In a manner consistent with evolution? Or with YEC?

A Bombshell for Replacing Darwin?
| Answers in Genesis 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.
evolution-impossible/1 page
Evolution? Impossible!
| Answers in Genesis Evolution is often upheld as proven fact. This is far from the truth! Two simple arguments from observational science demonstrate that evolution is impossible.
Billions of People in Thousands of Years?
| Answers in Genesis Creationists are often asked, “How is it possible for the earth’s population to reach billions of people if the world is only about 6,000 years old and if there were just two humans in the beginning?”
Textbook Evolutionary Story Was . . . Wrong?
| Answers in Genesis Which evolved first—moth ears or bat echolocation? The “textbook” evolutionary story is that bats evolved the ability to make ultrasonic calls to hunt for moths Then moths evolved the ability to hear these calls and better evade the hunting mammals. Well, a new study says this whole story is backwards!
“Doubting Evolution Is like Believing the Earth Is Flat.”
| Answers in Genesis The fact that some people in history believed the earth to be flat highlights the fallibility of man’s reasoning. Throughout history, scientists’ confident assertions have later been disproven. To misrepresent and discredit creationists by comparing their position to a belief in a flat earth is a straw-man fallacy.
Ironing Out the Problems
| Answers in Genesis Several years ago scientists made a startling discovery that seemed to undermine the claim that dinosaurs lived over 65 million years ago.
