Defining terms
‘Natural selection’ and ‘evolution’ can mean different things to different people. A leading evolutionist who tried to fix the problem has been largely ignored—unfortunately.
A coat of many colours
The chameleon is well known for its ability to change colours. Not so well known are its telephoto eyes that can focus clearly on an object only an inch away. And its tongue shoots forward at tremendous g-forces, thanks to an intricate catapult design that is unparalleled in both nature and man-made machines.

Why did Darwin’s publication of his theory of evolution cause him so much guilt?
Darwin vs. the eye
Tailbone “serves no purpose”?
New York Museum of Natural History misleads the public.
Green power (photosynthesis)
Photosynthesis is vital for life. New research shows that it stores the energy from four photons so it can split the water molecule. This defies evolution, since a partially complete
system would not work at all.
Large scale function for ‘endogenous retroviruses’
We hope you enjoy this sneak preview from the now-released December issue of Journal of Creation. Subscribers will be delighted by the powerful, stimulating content.
