Molecular Machines Use Moving Parts
Jan. 19, 2010 - The latest research continues to describe molecular machines with moving parts: "'fingers' that open and close, ratchets that lock into place, and feet that move along tracks." The article is very technical, but this summary statement gives an idea of these amazing discoveries:
- [L]arge structural molecules form machines with moving parts. These parts experience the same kinds of forces and motions that we experience at the macro level: stretching, bending, leverage, spring tension, ratcheting, rotation and translocation.

Why are young people leaving the church?
June 15, 2009 - Groundbreaking study says Sunday School makes exit more likely
Two-thirds of young people in evangelical churches will leave when they move into their 20s. But a new major study shows that these kids are "lost" in their hearts and minds in elementary, middle and high school – not in college as many assume.
According to Ken Ham, of the Genesis creation-science ministry, the problem stems from the fact that too many churches teach their kids, "The age of the Earth is not an issue as long as you trust in Jesus and believe in the resurrection and the Gospel accounts."
- "Because of the way in which they've been educated," Ham said, teens come to believe "that what they are taught in school is reality, but the church teaches stories and morality and relationship. Bible teaching is not real in the sense of real history."
Ham and researcher Britt Beemer have written a a book on the subject, "Already Gone: Why your kids will quit church and what you can do to stop it."

Media blitz: 'We found missing link'
May 20, 2009 - Scientists have revealed a fossil called "Ida," a lemur-like fossil ," which they claim is the missing link in man's evolution. However, there is much debate about the find and what it really means. Ken Ham, president of Answers in Genesis, points to a line in the scientific report that shows there is uncertainty about the fossil.
- "[The species] could represent a stem group from which later anthropoid primates evolved [the line leading to humans]," states the report, "but we are not advocating this here."
Jonathan Wells, author and biologist at the Seattle-based Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture, said this about the find, "There are many primatologists who already disagree with that interpretation and see this as a lemur."
