Meyer: Believing Life's 'Signature in the Cell'
Jun. 18, 2010 - Science philosopher Stephen Meyer has written a new book, "Signature in the Cell." It refutes the arguments that the theory of intelligent design is just religion and not true science. He shows that scientists now know that DNA is an incredibly complex code, far beyond what even the most brilliant computer programmers have devised.
- Secular scientists often mock the simple faith of those who believe in an unseen God. But statisticians say the odds are impossible that this incredibly intricate, elegant code could ever just evolve.
Because of these odds, it takes much more faith to believe in chance than to believe in an intelligent designer behind this DNA code.

In Seach of the 'God Particle'
Apr. 26, 2010 - Since last month the Large Hadron Collider, a huge magnetic accelerator underneath the Swiss-French border, has been succesfully operating. Scientists are analyzing the collision of billions of protons in hopes of discovering what might have happened during the "Big Bang" that they believe started our physical universe.
- And a key part of the adventure in all this includes the search for the Higgs Boson, a theoretical particle that scientists believe is crucial to understanding how the universe functions. The Higgs has also been called the 'God Particle'.
Dr. Tara Shears, a particle physicist who is working on the Large Hadron Collider, says that if the tests do not find this particle it could be a serious blow to modern science.

Ancient Primate Fossil Roils Scientific Community
Mar. 5, 2010 - Last spring, when Norwegian paleontologist Jorn Hurum unveiled "Ida," an unusually complete prehistoric primate fossil. He claimed that it was the missing link of human evolution, "a revolutionary scientific find that will change everything." The find was given the name "Ida" and the new genus and species name Darwinius masillae.
However, Blythe Williams, a visiting professor of paleontology at Duke University, and three colleagues, writing in a paper published this week in the Journal of Human Evolution, found no evidence that Ida represents a missing link.

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."
