How reliable are genomes from ancient DNA?
When researchers assume fossils with DNA are a certain age, they are faced with the glaring contradiction that basic chemistry means DNA should not be present.

Taking a crack at the Neandertal mitochondrial genome
A full-length stretch of DNA from a Neandertal mitochondrion has been sequenced. Some are using it to allege that it came from a different species to modern humans. But is that deduction justified?
The human genome is amazingly complex
The genome is not simple. It is a hyper-sophisticated information processing system that cannot be explained by the Darwinian descent-with-modification idea.
Reversible autopoiesis—a foundational design principle for life’s
survival
Because cells have the ability to adapt to certain stresses, such as a lack of food, they must have been functioning that way from the start.
Effective population sizes and loss of diversity during the Flood bottleneck
How much genetic diversity did humanity lose because of Noah’s Flood?
More evidence for the reality of genetic entropy—update
Did the 1918 Spanish Flu virus really go extinct, as genetic entropy predicted?
Were stem cell-like organisms the first forms of life?
Stem cell-like ancestors of sponges only make early life more complex, and the probability of evolution less likely.
Do koalas prove that humans got part of their DNA from viruses?
Koalavirus likely not example of invasive genetic element but rather part of the genome’s overall design.
Species were designed to change, part 2
Where do species come from? How much change is allowed? If species change, what separates creation from evolution?
The surprisingly complex tRNA subsystem: part 1—generation and maturation
Their formation is a ‘chicken and egg’ problem for evolution.
Many paths lead to high-altitude adaptation
Discover how many paths lead to it.
Monkeying around with human embryos?
Modern science allows us to perform experiments on human embryos that are contrary to Scripture. What should our response be?
