Parrot of the night—NZ’s kakapo
The male kakapo’s amorous ‘booming’ can be heard kilometres away. But perhaps not for much longer, as the world’s heaviest parrot is an endangered species.

Did immune system antibody diversity evolve?
The various adaptive immune systems in the animal kingdom are all equally complex, yet with major discontinuities between them.

Plant geneticist: ‘Darwinian evolution is impossible’
Ground-breaking research shows that evolution by mutations and natural selection just does not work.
by Don Batten chats with plant geneticist John Sanford
Desert creatures inspire ‘SandBot’
Even specialty vehicles such as dune buggies can end up hopelessly mired in sand. So designers of Martian robotic vehicles are looking to copy the ‘effortless’ all-terrain locomotion of earthly lizards.

Patterns of change over time: organophosphorus resistance in the sheep blowfly, Lucilia cuprina
Most pesticide resistance is due to natural selection on pre-existing genes, not evolution. But some resistance arises from designed mechanisms that allow for adaptation in created life.

Bird breathing anatomy breaks dino-to-bird dogma
A new discovery about bird thighs and lungs seems to be the ‘nail in the coffin’ for the popular notion that they evolved from dinosaurs.

The slow, painful death of junk DNA
New findings undermine the idea that large stretches of our DNA are useless.

Clarity and confusion
Behe shows that mutation and selection can accomplish little—nothing like the hugely complex machinery of life. But ignoring the Bible leads to confusion over a coherent explanation.

Darwin’s finches
Evidence supporting rapid post-Flood adaptation.

Is the human pharynx poorly designed?
Evolutionists love to claim that our throat design is too poor for a creator. But its design is actually superior to the hypothetical alternatives.

Intelligent Design: why the fuss, and what’s it about?
To some, design is a ‘no-brainer’. To others, it’s the thin edge of the wedge. How should we view it?

The brain—brainier than believed before
Overturning long-held ideas, new research shows that our brains unconsciously make the ‘best possible’ decisions. But this optimal design makes little sense in a Darwinist scenario.
