Conifers aren't bothered by too many insect pests. That's because the oils that give them that nice pine scent are poisonous. They would be poisonous to the conifer sawfly larva if it digested them, too. But while it munches the pine needles, its body is busy storing the poisonous oils for future defense. The fact that the sawfly not only eats pine needles, but also uses the poisonous oils for…
Research suggests that you might want to be careful about what you say around babies. As every parent knows, young children are sponges that easily absorb knowledge from their surroundings. Now, there is research that indicates that by seven months of age, infants have already absorbed the basic rules of language.In this study, seven -month- old infants listened to a sequence of syllables in which…
There are more than 200 ant species in the attine family of ants. All of them farm for a living. And they are as sophisticated about their farming as any modern human farmer. They are found anywhere from the tropics to New Jersey. The specialization shown by these ants makes an evolutionary explanation for them impossible.One example is the famous leaf-cutting ants found in the tropics. Leaf…
When you know who made something and why it was made, you know the purpose of the item. That's true of can openers, and it is true of human life. Anyone who doesn't know who designed us or why; is almost certain to be confused about his or her purpose in life.For generations, evolutionary scientists tried to explain our origin by comparing fossilized bones. But more recently they have turned to…
The deep, dark depths of the ocean are filled with many varieties of luminescent creatures. But among the octopus, only two or three species have the ability to luminesce. But that has all changed with a remarkable series of discoveries about an already known species of octopus.The red octopus, Stauroteuthis syrtensis, lives in the deep waters off the east coast of the United States. While…
Not all dangerous predators can be seen. One of the most dangerous predators in a drop of pond water is Amoeba proteus. This amoeba literally terrorizes its one-celled pond-mates, who can smell the amoeba coming to engulf them. Among the amoeba’s favorite snacks are creatures of the genus Euplotes. But Euplotes can defend themselves. When some members of this genus smell the amoeba coming, they…
Just about every public school textbook includes the example of the peppered moth. The moth is used as a prime example of natural selection. Supposedly, as the trees in the English countryside began to be covered with coal pollution in the mid -1800s, the light-colored tree trunks became darker. The peppered moth exists in two varieties, black and white, and was said to rest on the tree trunks. As…
Has your great-great-grandfather been born yet? If he hasn't, he's not your great-great-grandfather! This might seem like a silly question. But when it comes to the claimed evolutionary fossil evidence for man's evolution, our claimed great-great-grandfather has turned up in the wrong period of history. A re -dating of Homo erectus fossil skulls discovered in 1931 and 1933 has placed these…
Dung beetles may not be a very pleasant subject, but after all, someone has to do the housekeeping. So God created what man has classified into 30,000 species of dung beetle. Many will form their finds into a ball about the size of a croquet ball and roll it home for the wife and kids. Others tunnel beneath a find and set up housekeeping there.A purple flower in Borneo, however, cuts into the…
Did you know that if you stared at an object with absolutely no eye movement you would eventually go blind? Actually, it is impossible to stare at anything without some eye movement, and there is a good reason for this.You may be aware that each eyeball has a blind spot where the optic nerve is attached. Normally, we don't notice it because the other eye fills in the missing portion of the image…
Those who believe that the universe, the earth and everything on it are the result of mindless evolution are hard-pressed to explain the origin of intelligence. Some even try to argue that there is no such thing as intelligence, saying that we only think that certain things reflect intelligence. As we learn more about the world, it takes an even greater faith to believe in evolution.The incredible…
Researchers studying genetics have concluded that the evolutionary tree of life does not reflect the facts of biochemistry.By the 1960s, biochemists had concluded that living things could be grouped into two distinct types based on their basic structures and genetic information. Eukaryotes have one or more cells and a true nucleus. Prokaryotes have smaller cells with no true nucleus. They are so…
