Martian Olivine Distribution Confirms Lack of Martian Water

  • Recent research provides additional evidence against Mars as a candidate for the existence-much less origin-of life. Liquid water is almost universally recognized as being critical for the existence of life-thus the "follow the water" mantra in astrobiology research. A team of American scientists found a large number of olivine (a silicate mineral with magnesium and iron) basalts on the surface of Mars in both ancient and recent geological formations. In liquid water environments, olivine basalts weather rapidly, so their presence on Mars argues against liquid water being present when they were formed. Without liquid water, Mars cannot be seriously considered as a location to search for life or to understand the origin of life.

Biblical Account of Humanity’s Origin Confirmed

  • A new study that examines the genetic variation of Northern Island Melanesian people groups confirms the primeval migrational pattern of humanity from near the Middle East into Asia and Australia. This migrational pattern, based on genetic studies of representatives of different population groups, demonstrates that (1) humanity had a recent origin from a single location; (2) humanity’s original population size was small and traces back to a single woman, called mitochondrial Eve, and a single man, called Y-chromosomal Adam; and (3) humanity expanded from near the Middle East to populate the globe. This new research indicates that when the first humans migrated from near the Middle East, they did so rapidly by taking a southern coastal route through India and into Asia. As anthropologists study human genetic variation, evidence for the biblical description of human origins mounts.

Even with Quantum Mechanics Progress on Origin-of-Life Problem is Slow

  • Sixty years ago, Erwin Schrödinger predicted that quantum mechanics would soon solve the riddle of life’s origin. While much progress has been made in other fields of quantum mechanics, little more is known about life’s origin (from a naturalistic perspective) now than when Schrödinger first stated his belief. An essay by an Australian physicist highlights the slow progress and proposes a mechanism for life that starts with quantum replicators. Once formed, these replicators develop a sufficient level of complexity and eventually migrate to an organic molecule matrix that takes on "a life of its own." Using quantum information theory, scientists might constrain how probable these quantum replicators are. As alluded to in the essay, the level of complexity seen in even the most ancient primitive life presents a substantial problem for naturalistic theories. However, RTB’s cosmic creation model predicts that the first life created by a superintelligent Designer will be highly complex.

Behavioral Differences Distinguish Neanderthals from Humans

  • A new study confirms RTB’s creation model for human origins. The RTB model regards Neanderthals and other extinct hominids found in the fossil record as nonhuman primates that lacked spiritual capacity. On this basis, the RTB model predicts that humans and Neanderthals should be behaviorally distinct from one another. Researchers recently completed detailed radiocarbon dating of alternating layers attributed to Neanderthals and modern humans recovered from the Grotte des Fees at Chatelperron in France. Their analysis confirms that in contrast to Neanderthals, modern humans displayed sophisticated tool-manufacturing practices and superior ability to exploit harsh environmental conditions. This discovery adds to the mounting scientific evidence that continues to distinguish modern humans from Neanderthals, as RTB’s explanation for the hominid fossil record indicates.

Gamma-ray Burst Sources Revealed

  • Observations by a team of international astronomers give insight into the nature of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and reveal a tool to further verify the theory of general relativity. Optical afterglows of two short GRBs show that they are distinct from their longer counterparts in that they are not accompanied by a supernova explosion. Further, short GRBs are less energetic and occur at significantly shorter distances than long GRBs. Consequently, they must have a different cause and, currently, the best explanation is the merger of two neutron stars or a neutron star and a black hole. The theory of general relativity predicts that any such merger event will be accompanied by gravity waves that should soon be detectable in current gravity wave instruments. If and when these gravity waves are detected, a critical component of RTB’s cosmic creation model, i.e., the theory of general relativity, will be on even more solid ground.

Challenge to Biological Evolution: Convergence of Cats

  • The phenomenon of biological convergence continues to stymie the evolutionary paradigm. With chance governing the process, evolution should not produce the same outcome repeatedly. Yet study after study shows that this seems to have occurred. In this case, researchers used ancient DNA analysis to describe the repeated, independent origin of the African cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) and the extinct American cheetah-like cat (Miracinonyx trumani). In an evolutionary scenario, one would not expect similar biological characteristics to appear in unrelated organisms from different ecological niches. This newly discovered example of convergence challenges the veracity of evolution, but affirms a creation model positing that a single Creator repeatedly used the same good designs as He brought new life forms into existence.

Detection of Geologically Produced Antineutrinos

  • Recent research by a team of international scientists provides a powerful tool to understand a significant component of the plate tectonics that are so critical for sustained life on Earth. Adequate heating of the earth’s interior is largely responsible for the long-lasting tectonic activity the earth’s surface has experienced. A primary source of heat is the decay of the radioisotopes that are distributed throughout the earth’s interior. Until recently, scientists only had indirect tools to measure the quantity and distribution of these radioisotopes. Recently, a neutrino detector located in Japan has detected the signature antineutrinos that are produced when some radioactive particles decay. When coupled with models of the earth’s interior, the quantity of antineutrinos confirms that radioactive decay is responsible for the bulk of heat that drives plate tectonics. Further, the research provides a mechanism to produce a three-dimensional map of the radioisotope abundance in the earth’s interior. This discovery provides evidence for the design of Earth’s interior to support advanced life.

New Problems for Embryonic Stem Cells

  • Supporters of embryonic stem cell research (ESCR) often laud its promise to effectively treat several debilitating diseases and injuries. However, while the biomedical research community is quick to tout the potential benefits of ESCR, they rarely discuss some of the pitfalls of this emerging technology. New research has uncovered another serious problem with ESCs that may make them unsuitable for therapeutic use. Over time, ESCs accumulate mutations commonly observed in human cancers. ESCR troubles nonsupporters because it involves the destruction of human embryos. Given this ethical concern and the progress made with adult stem cells (which don’t require the destruction of human embryos) it makes little sense for the biomedical research community to pursue ESCR.

Yet Another Function for Water

  • Earthquakes can be disastrous, but without certain design features they could be much worse. Research by two geophysicists explains water’s critical role in facilitating certain earthquakes, showing again how a superintelligent Designer has fashioned a planet exhibiting life-supporting characteristics. As a fault begins to slip, water in that fault quickly heats due to friction and lubricates the movement. So smaller movements are catalyzed to larger movements. By including the action of the water, laboratory measurements of fault movement reconciled with measurements from actual earthquakes. Without liquid water to catalyze motion, pressures would grow so high that far more catastrophic earthquakes would occur rather than the relatively benign ones experienced now. As scientists gain understanding of geological processes, the signature of a super-caring Creator on Earth shines brighter.

Humans and Chimpanzees Not So Similar

  • For many people the 99% genetic similarity between humans and chimpanzees is a "no-brainer" for evolution. However, a new brain study puts the brakes to such a notion. Researchers have discovered that humans possess a gene, SIGLEC11, that is absent in chimpanzees. This gene influences cell-surface chemistry and is expressed at its highest levels in the human brain cortex microglia (a type of immune cell found in the brain). Researchers think that this difference may account, in part, for the differences in the brain biology of humans and chimps. Thus, even a subtle genetic tweak can result in a profound biological change. Rather than evidence for evolution, this result demonstrates the plausibility of a biblical creation model that describes how a Creator could use the same raw materials (genes) to construct both humans and chimpanzees, but alter as He pleased to create very different organisms.

New Tool to Study Earth’s Geodynamo

  • A team of international scientists has uncovered an unlikely tool for understanding the onset of Earth’s geodynamo (the mechanism producing Earth’s magnetic field). Since the moon was formed at high temperatures, it is nearly depleted of volatile elements like nitrogen. Some nitrogen is found in the surface of lunar soils, but it originates from nonlunar sources-the largest source being the solar wind. However, before the geodynamo that maintains Earth’s magnetic field turned on, significant amounts of nitrogen could have been transported from Earth and implanted in lunar soils. If so, different isotopic abundances would be observed between dark side and bright side lunar rocks. If these differences were found, dating of the rocks could also determine the start date of Earth’s magnetic field. This new tool provides a powerful mechanism to test and refine RTB’s cosmic creation model.

First Chimpanzee Fossils Problematic for Evolution

  • The first discovered chimpanzee fossils call into question the traditional evolutionary explanation for the origin of humanity. According to this model, humans and chimpanzees shared a common ancestor about 5 to 6 million years ago. Evolutionary biologists have long regarded the climatic changes which produced the Rift Valley in East Africa as the impetus for the divergence of the human and chimpanzee lineages. The Rift Valley presumably served as a physical barrier that kept the two lineages geographically, and hence evolutionarily, separated. According to this view, chimpanzees were confined to the hot, wet jungle conditions of central and western Africa, whereas the human line was forced into the hot, arid savanna of East Africa. Contrary to this explanation, paleontologists recovered the first chimpanzee fossils, dated to be about 500,000 years old, in East Africa (Lake Baringo, Kenya). These ancient chimpanzees must have co-existed along with hominids, leaving evolutionary biologists with no explanation for why humans and chimps evolved in separate directions. This new discovery continues to illustrate that, regardless of popular perception, the fossil record does not support human evolution.

Rise of Oxygen Over the Past 205 Million Years

  • An American team of geologists and paleontologists uncovered more evidence for the supernatural creation of animals by establishing dramatic changes in the oxygen content of Earth’s atmosphere over the past 205 million years. Their analysis of the abundance of carbon-13 in several marine sediment cores showed that oxygen in the atmosphere increased (with some dramatic oscillations) from 10% 205 million years ago to 17% 50 million years ago. For the past 40 million years the oxygen level has varied from 20-23%. The team demonstrated that the appearance of large-body-sized, high-metabolic-rate animals in the fossil record strongly correlated with the dramatic increase in atmospheric oxygen 50-40 million years ago. The team attributed this appearance to natural evolution. However, given that large-body-sized, high-metabolic-rate animals manifest the slowest (virtually zero) rates of natural evolution, and given that it would take a superintellect to realize that oxygen levels would stably remain above 20% after 40 million years, it seems much more reasonable to attribute the appearance of such creatures to the Creator God of the Bible.

"Tool Use" by Hominids Crude

  • Analysis of how hominids used stones provides a test for human origins models. RTB’s creation model for humanity’s origin regards Neanderthals and other extinct hominids found in the fossil record as nonhuman primates that lacked spiritual capacity. As a consequence, the RTB model predicts that hominids behaved in distinctly nonhuman ways. While hominids made and used "tools," they were crude and unsophisticated compared to those made by the first modern humans. This recent study powerfully confirms this view. Thus, scientific evidence continues to distinguish modern humans from hominids, in line with RTB’s explanation for the hominid fossil record.

Viruses Play Critical Role in Oceanic Nutrient Cycling

  • Recent research reveals the work of a supernatural Designer in the development and thriving of the oceanic nutrient cycle. While viruses are generally considered in a negative light, research over the past decade shows the critical role they play in cycling nutrients in the ocean and in determining how much carbon dioxide is extracted from the atmosphere. A review article by a UC Berkeley scientist describes how appreciation for viruses grows as scientists better understand the wealth of viral activity and diversity. For example, after prokaryotes, viruses constitute the most abundant biological entity in the world’s oceans. Further, viral abundance correlates with bacterial abundance. One result of this correlation is that viral activity catalyzes the breakdown of particulate nutrients to usable, dissolved nutrients that can be incorporated into microbial communities. Thus, even much-maligned viruses are beginning to reveal the intricate work of a super-caring Creator in crafting a habitat where life can thrive.

More Problems for Extremophilic Origin of Life

  • A new protein stability study challenges the naturalistic paradigm. In an attempt to give naturalistic origin-of-life scenarios as much time as possible, some scientists propose that life arose during the high-temperature conditions of Earth’s Hadean era, prior to 3.9 billion years ago. Therefore, they theorize, Earth’s first life forms must have been thermophilic (heat-loving) microbes. New research makes this scenario unlikely. In order to achieve chemical stability and functionality at high temperatures, specialized molecular features must be incorporated into the enzymes of thermophiles. This restriction reduces the probability that random processes can generate functional biomolecules at high temperatures. In other words, evolutionary scenarios for life’s origin are more difficult at high temperatures than at moderate temperatures in which this chemical restriction does not apply. Therefore, origin-of-life researchers cannot look to the Hadean era for the time needed to make naturalistic origin-of-life scenarios plausible.

Increased Atmospheric Oxygen Allows for Larger Mammals

  • Recent research provides additional support for RTB’s testable creation model. The model predicts geological/astronomical-driven changes in the earth’s environment that are accompanied by extinction events and the introduction of new species that are better suited to the new environment. A team of American scientists correlated the rise of oxygen levels with the fragmentation of the supercontinent Pangaea. A spike in the oxygen increase occurred about 50 million years ago, shortly after the K-T (Cretaceous-Tertiary) mass extinction. Concurrent with the spike in oxygen levels was the appearance in the fossil record of large placental mammals that require high oxygen levels in the atmosphere. While naturalists maintain that the origin of placental mammals occurred earlier and natural processes drove the evolution to larger body sizes, these results are perfectly consistent with a supernatural Creator populating Earth with life well-suited to newly developed conditions.

Adult Stem Cells Proceed to Clinical Trial

  • Many people are troubled by the emerging biotechnology of embryonic stem cell research (ESCR) involves the destruction of human embryos. Recent advances, however, suggest that there may be an ethically acceptable alternative to ESCR. Several research studies indicate that adult stem cells (ASCs) from bone marrow can transform into cardiac muscle cells. Clinicians from the University of Pittsburgh are now advancing this understanding to clinical trials. Previous small-scale clinical studies indicate that heart function can be improved by implanting bone marrow stem cells into the hearts of patients suffering from cardiac disease. This new clinical study will be much larger in scope and will utilize a randomized, double-blind design. By focusing on ASCs rather than ESCs, scientific advance may provide the way out of the ethical dilemma created by emerging biotechnologies.

Dark Matter Problem Resolved in Elliptical Galaxies

  • A dark matter-related problem noticed in elliptical galaxies has been resolved by recent theoretical work, strengthening the case for RTB’s cosmic creation model. As astronomers made measurements of stellar velocities in the outskirts of ordinary elliptical galaxies, they found velocities that were slower than expected if the galaxies are embedded in a dark matter halo (as predicted by current cosmological thought). However, numerical simulations of mergers between two particular types of galaxies (with large amounts of dark matter) show that the observed velocities are reproduced by stars that are stripped from their original galaxies by tidal interactions. So, these observations are no longer a problem for cosmological models such as RTB’s cosmic creation model, where dark matter halos are the homes of galaxies.

Biochemical Design: Life’s Molecular Machinery

  • Discovery of a molecular motor that moves cellular cargo provides evidence for design. Just as a watch requires a watchmaker, it logically follows that life, with its amazing intricacy, requires a Creator. Biochemists have discovered that many molecules inside the cell function as molecular-level machines that often display an eerie resemblance to man-made machines. One of these is myosin, a linear motor replete with a lever arm. This research paper provides new understanding about the mechanistic operation of myosin V. This motor protein performs the important function of moving cellular cargo throughout the cell. Its elegant design and stark resemblance to man-made motors indicate that this biomolecular machine must be the work of a divine "Motor Maker."

Origin of Late Heavy Bombardment Impactors Determined

  • Recent research buttresses RTB’s cosmic creation model and shows the intricate design of the solar system. A team of international astronomers has determined the source of impactors responsible for the late heavy bombardment (LHB)-a period approximately 3.9 to 3.8 billion years ago-which affected the entire inner solar system. The team found that the cratering distributions on the Moon, Mercury, and Mars matched the size distributions of the main belt asteroids-the asteroids between Mars and Jupiter. A probable cause of the disruption that sent the main belt asteroids into the inner solar system was a brief period in the early solar system when there were frequent resonances between Jupiter and Saturn as they migrated toward their current orbits. They also determined that either cometary contribution to the LHB was minimal or it occurred before most of the asteroid impacts. Since the asteroid impacts were sterilizing, this result places strong constraints on the amount of biological precursors available on Earth from cometary sources. The LHB was critical for delivering the ample heavy metals that drive Earth’s plate tectonics, and scientists increasingly see this period as a unique, carefully crafted event in the formation of our solar system.

Biochemical Design: Compositional Fine-Tuning of Cell Membranes

  • The discovery of an important function for cell membranes provides evidence for design. Biochemists have traditionally regarded the cell membrane to be a chaotic system that lacks order beyond the phospholipids bilayer structure. New research, however, shows that the cell membrane displays remarkable complexity and organization that hinges on the fine-tuning of its molecular composition. In this study researchers have identified the physical mechanism that produces distinct phases (that don’t mix) in cell membranes. The production of these immiscible (nonmixing) phases critically depends on the compositional make-up of the cell membrane. The phases play a role in organizing the cell membrane’s structure and functional properties. Such organization of the cell membrane is an indicator of intelligent design.

Abundant Galaxies and High Star Formation Support Creation Model

  • Recent results by a team of international astronomers provide additional support for the RTB testable cosmic creation model. One characteristic of the RTB model calls for the expedient preparation of a fit habitat for life. In order to have life and a planet that supports life, all the necessary elements need to be produced in the explosions of massive stars. A team of international astronomers found that a large number of galaxies were in place shortly after the beginning of the universe. Not only was the number of galaxies larger than expected, but also the star formation rate was higher than previously measured. These results are consistent with a model that maintains that a supernatural Creator caused the universe and prepared a fit habitat for the formation of life and ultimately, human life.

First Footwear Supports Biblical Account of Human Origins

  • Discovery of early human clothing use affirms an important biblical teaching; namely that humanity is made in God’s image. This doctrine maintains, in part, that when modern humans appear on Earth, advanced culture, which expresses God’s image, should appear concurrently. This study indicates that the use of clothing by some of the first humans was remarkably sophisticated. Researchers place the first use of protective footwear earlier than 26,000 to 30,000 years ago, a date close to the timing of humanity’s origin (and spread into Europe) that is consistent with the biblical account.

More Complexity in Marine Microbial Communities

  • Researchers continue to uncover evidence for a supernatural Designer as they gain understanding of the complex interactions within the marine microbial community and the environment. For example, the rate of nitrogen fixation in the ocean can markedly alter the abundance relationships of nutrients. Recent discoveries reveal that the rate of oceanic nitrogen fixation is not limited simply by the iron content, but can be limited by other elements and even colimited by these additional elements. This more complex relationship allows the ocean to respond to climatic changes and may provide feedback mechanisms that provide controls on atmospheric temperatures. Such highly complex environmental and biological relationships can be explained by a biblically predicted cosmic creation model.

Design Evident in Complex Oceanic Communities

  • Studies of intricate systems in marine ecologies provide strong evidence for an intelligent designer. Recent research reveals the detailed, complex interplay in the ocean between nutrient and phytoplankton abundances, resource colimitation, nitrogen fixation, and anaerobic ammonium oxidation. These interactions are not limited to the microbial community but include the environment as well. According to a Stanford geophysicist, "the interactions produce a self-regulating biogeochemical system that maintains quasi-stable oceanic nutrient inventories over both short and long timescales." These highly complex environmental and biological relationships point to the careful planning of a supernatural Designer.

Segmental Duplications Dispute Human-Chimp Link

  • Does the 99% genetic similarity between humans and chimpanzees constitute evidence for evolution? Some say so, but this study shows that large segments of the human genome (segmental duplications) differ from the chimpanzee genome. These segmental duplications account for about 26.5 million base pairs (genetic letters) which represent just under 1% of the genome. Researchers think that segmental duplications have affected gene expression patterns which could contribute to the significant biological and behavioral differences between these two species. Although the high degree of genetic similarity is often bandied about with confidence, it doesn’t necessarily mean that humans and chimpanzees are closely related organisms. An artful Creator could have used the same raw materials (genes) to construct both humans and chimpanzees, and then altered these materials as He saw fit to create different organisms.

Resource Limitation Complexity in Marine Microbial Community

  • Research on marine ecologies provides evidence for the work of a supernatural Designer. A Stanford geophysicist details scientists’ increasing understanding of the complex interactions within the marine microbial community and the environment. One area exhibiting complexity is resource limitation in phytoplankton growth. For many decades it was thought that only a single resource limits plant growth at any given time. However, numerous examples have been discovered where multiple resources limit growth. Further, the limitation mechanisms operate at different levels-from the individual cell to the entire microbial community. These highly complex environmental and biological relationships would be expected if the biblically predicted cosmic creation model is correct.

Biochemistry Supports Bible’s Long Life Spans

  • For many skeptics the long life spans recorded in Genesis 5 and 11 seem absurd. Recent advances in the biochemistry of aging, however, make these long life spans scientifically plausible. In this study, researchers demonstrate that elevating the level of expression of the Klotho gene extends the life span of mice by 50%. If scientists can significantly manipulate animal life spans by genetic intervention, it is not unreasonable to assert that a Creator could adjust human biochemistry to permit long life spans and then shorten them after the Flood. In light of this study, long human life spans described in Genesis are scientifically reasonable.
