We recently reported on a study of 1,070 genes and how they contradicted each other in a couple dozen yeast species. Specifically, evolutionists computed the evolutionary tree, using all 1,070 genes, showing how the different yeast species are related. This tree that uses all 1,070 genes is called the concatenation tree. They then repeated the computation 1,070 times, for each gene taken individually. Not only did none of the 1,070 trees match the concatenation tree, they also failed to show even a single match between themselves. In other words, out of the 1,071 trees, there were zero matches. Yet one of the fundamental predictions of evolution is that different features should generally agree. It was “a bit shocking” for evolutionists, as one Read More ›
A visual artist and a Ph.D. in computational genomics have gotten together to predict what we mere human mortals will look like in, say, 100,000 years. Given the prediction, I for one am glad I won’t be around to see it actually happen. The current design appeals to me much more. But maybe others will feel differently.
In order for a biological cell to give birth to daughter cells, its genome must be replicated. And in order to replicate the DNA molecule, its two strands must first be unwound and separated. Enter the so-called helicase enzymes such as those illustrated in this animation (please click above). And how did all of this evolve? It is, of course, a fact that helicases (and everything else in the world) spontaneously arose from nothing. That may sound strange until you realize that something, namely the universe, came from nothing. So obviously helicases must have come from nothing. Read more
Climate activists very often seem to be either idiots or inveterate liars. See here. I am honestly not sure which is the case.
One of evolution’s trade secrets is its prefiltering of data to make it look good, but now evolutionists are resorting to postfiltering of the data as well. Evolutionists have always claimed that the different species fall into a common descent pattern forming an evolutionary tree. That is, the various traits—from the overall body plan down to the DNA molecular sequences—from the various species, consistently reveal the same evolutionary pattern. If one gene shows species A and B are closely related and species C is more distantly related, then the other genes will reveal the same pattern. Evolutionists call this consilience. In practice however, this consilience is superficial. There are profound contradictions between the different traits, and in a new attempt Read More ›
Evolution professor John Avise ends his book, Inside the Human Genome, with a gnostic crescendo. The National Academy of Sciences member writes: Read more
Psychiatrist Sally Satel and psychologist Scott O. Lilienfeld have produced Brainwashed: The seductive appeal of mindless neuroscience , which should be of interest to anyone who thinks the brain is not just a jelly. News writer Denyse O’Leary is co-author of The Spiritual Brain.

Never mind what it is like to be a bat What is it like to be an octopus? (Like nothing we can imagine, yet the creatures are intelligent.) Home schooling now beats public school enrolment in some US districts . Hmmm. Why you might not learn what you hope. Or might.
