Appendix 30.0
Did you ever hear that the human appendix is a “vestigial organ,” leftover from evolution? Does research support that claim? Absolutely NOT! In order to salvage the evolutionary “story” of our “leftover” organ, and to accommodate modern research, evolutionists are now being forced to say that the appendix had to evolve over 30 times!! Whoa!! That should really stretch anyone’s credulity beyond the breaking point for evolution! Check it out: Solving Appendix...
Read MoreAllen Teaching Kids in India!
It is exciting to see those connected with AOI now teaching and touching the lives of others. Allen is evidently enjoying teaching children in India the truth of God’s Word – in this case Genesis 6-8 about Noah’s Flood. This book and many others were donated by his local church. Please pray for good fruit of the ministry of Allen and Molly! Praise God for what He is doing throughout the world! -Dave Nutting
Read MoreRio Celeste
Several have commented on the picture I took in 2005 of Mary Jo at the Blue River Waterfall in Costa Rica. Just upstream from the waterfall, two clear streams merge causing a chemical reaction. The result is the most intense turquoise blue water I have ever seen! Costa Rica is full of intense colors (and so many others) such as the Blue Morpho butterfly. Join Mary Jo and I on the Costa Rica tour to see amazing design, volcanoes, and color! -Dave Nutting Discover Creation...
Read MoreIs there Extraterrestrial Life elsewhere in the Universe?
There is a lot to this question, but Biblically speaking – God created Earth for Life and Life for Earth. I once heard this argument in favor of the existence of alien life: “The Bible doesn’t say that God didn’t create aliens.” But I think a better starting point is focusing on what the Bible DOES say. Genesis 1 talks about God creating the dry land on Earth, the plants on the dry ground, then the sun, moon, and stars were created, then the sea and sky creatures on...
Read MoreMagnetic Reversals found frozen in the rocks!
Here is a fascinating article – it shows how there is evidence of magnetic reversals “frozen” within the layers of rock. But what this article focuses on is research on a very small volcanic rock layer that based on its size could have only cooled (from lava) and formed within 15 days. What is significant is that it shows the complete magnetic reversal from the volcanic layer below and the volcanic layer above. This shows that it doesn’t take thousands of years for the...
Read MoreA Flash Flood Buried What…?
The Arizona Republic, Friday, Nov. 12, 1999 reported that in the Saharan Desert paleontologists discovered 95% of the bones from a new species of huge, plant-eating sauropod, belonging to the family of giants such as Diplodocus and Apatosaurus. This creature weighed up to 20 tons and stood 30 feet high. Jobaria tiguidens is the name for this new find that was claimed to have been buried by a flash flood about 135 million years ago. It was also reported that a several of...
Read More“You have Anti-Freeze running through your veins, man!”
“In the frozen wastes of Siberia, an amazing salamander is able to survive in suspended animation for years, deep-frozen at temperatures as low as –50°C, only to thaw out and run off afterwards. Scientists are not yet sure of the exact mechanism, but, like some other animals, they almost certainly produce ‘anti-freeze’ chemicals to replace water in their tissues and cells. Some have been found buried in ice which is believed to be from the Pleistocene Age—12,000 years ago...
Read MoreBig Gap from Mice to Bats!
“For the sake of discussion, let’s say that mice evolved into bats. If this occurred, you would expect to find fossil mice and fossil bats, along with all the transitional forms (or intermediate animals) between the two, in the fossil record. A hypothetical example follows: Animal A (below) is the first step of a mouse changing into a bat. The animal looks like a mouse, but its arms are now longer than its legs. It will need these long arms to form the wings....
Read MoreIncredible Odds Against Earth’s Perfect Placement
“In 1966…Carl Sagan announced that there were two important criteria for a planet to support life: The right kind of star, and a planet the right distance from that star…As our knowledge of the universe increased, it became clear that there were far more factors necessary for life than Sagan supposed. His two parameters grew to 10 and then 20 and then 50…As factors continued to be discovered, the number of possible planets [that could support life] hit zero,...
Read MoreSymbiotic Evidence of Design
“PBS 3 also describes the leaf-cutting ants of Brazil. They form colonies containing eight million insects, and they cut leaves into pieces and bring them to the nest, but they don’t eat them. Rather, other leafcutter ants mulch them and use the mulch to grow a fungus ‘garden.’ This fungus is used as food for the young leafcutters, which thus depend on the fungus for survival, but the fungus depends on the ants to provide the mulch. But this fungus garden has a...
