Competitive Endogenous RNA Hypothesis Supports the Case for Creation Blog by Fazale “Fuz” Rana ( May 15, 2019 ) When Francis Crick, codiscoverer of the DNA double helix, first conceived of molecular biology’s organizing principle in 1958, he dubbed it the central dogma. He soon came to regret the term. In his autobiographical account, What Mad Pursuit, Crick writes: Biology

Nature’s Designs Inspire Anti-Icing Surfaces Blog by Hugh Ross ( June 28, 2021 ) One of the joys I experience as a scientist comes from reading how researchers have discovered features in nature that can help humanity. Mechanical engineers have learned that wheat leaf surfaces are designed to shed large water droplets and remain dry and unfrozen in cold, humid conditions. I’ll explain the discovery and its exciting potential […] Design
From Noah to Abraham to Moses: Evidence of Genealogical Gaps in Mosaic Literature, Part 5 Publication by Guest Writer ( August 6, 2012 ) We conclude this series on gaps in Scripture’s genealogical records by analyzing the passages in Genesis that are most critical to calculations of a 6,000-year-old universe by biblical date-setters such as Bishop James Ussher. Widespread evangelical adherence to Ussher’s calculations has helped erect an artificial bulwark between the Bible and science, but we show that the flexibility and ambiguity of biblical Hebrew makes it impossible to calculate an accurate creation timeline using the Bible’s genealogies.

Thank God for the Extinction of Mammoths Publication by Hugh Ross ( August 16, 2010 ) It may seem counterintuitive to thank God for an animal species’ extinction, but new research suggests that the catastrophic elimination of larger mammoth species produced manifold benefits for the planet, other animals, and humans in particular.

Christians Have Questions Too Multimedia by Hugh Ross ( February 6, 2018 ) Jeff Zweerink struggled from an early age with how to reconcile his love of science with his desire to serve God. How did the God of the Bible fit with what he was observing in nature? In this Live from Seattle interview, host Michelle Mendoza talks with Jeff about how the challenge of reconciling his faith with science proved to be more encouraging than he expected.
Deep-Ocean Mixing Helps Stabilize Earth’s Livability Publication by Hugh Ross ( February 26, 2006 ) A team of international scientists has found additional evidence for fine-tuning in Earth’s global environment. Oceanic phytoplankton growth (and consequently chlorophyll concentration) maximizes at depths that receive both adequate light from above and sufficient flux of nutrients from below. The location of the chlorophyll concentrations significantly influences how much carbon is sequestered to the ocean interior and, therefore, also affects the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Simulations reveal that global warming reduces deep-ocean mixing, which means the chlorophyll maximum will vary widely and could destabilize Earth’s global climate. The complexity of the global environment, and the many ways it could destabilize, testifies of a supernatural Designer maintaining a suitable environment for life to exist (“…in him all things hold together.” Colossians 1:17).
