News to Know Quick Look
Sizeable Sturgeons Set Evolutionary Speed Records? Are sturgeons living fossils or evolutionary fast-trackers? A new study proposes that these fish are evidence of rapid, observable evolution. But observable variation within a kind does not add new genetic information and is not evidence of molecules-to-man evolution.
Show and Tell: What Can Chimps Tell Us? Many evolutionary linguists believe a child learning to talk recapitulates the evolutionary steps that ape-like ancestors trod as they learned to speak and think abstractly. But only humans, created in God's image, are capable of communicating unique and creative abstract thoughts with language.
Cousin Achilles: The Little Primate That Could: Ten years of analysis of the tiny primate dubbed
A. achilles has led some evolutionary researchers to conclude this animal is a missing link between two different types of primates. But this study is really a marvelous example of comparative anatomy, showing variation within a species. This prompts the question "what was it?" not "what was it becoming?"
After Eden
Arguments Christians Shouldn't Use
