Design

Can Mendelian explanation explain fast species change in a young-age paradigm?

The genes that affect light and dark skin colour are found across the world, indicating that they were in our population before we spread out across the world at Babel.

Something that supposedly arose by evolutionary accidents has provided engineers with ‘startling’ design insights.

Are human eyes wired ‘backwards’? Are our larynxes poorly positioned? Do ‘bad backs’ and knee injuries point to suboptimal design? Join biologist Dr Don Batten for a discussion of a range of popular ‘bad design’ claims that are used to challenge the notion that nature was created by an intelligent designer. Discover how the evidence, in fact, points to amazing design, when design constraints, and the reality of a Fallen world are taken into account. No wonder engineers are constantly trying to copy the designs found in nature!

By their own admission, humanists and evolutionists often have a very low view of human beings.

We instinctively know the difference between something that is the result of design (such as the faces on Mount Rushmore), and something that is the result of random natural processes (like the rest of Mount Rushmore). Or we think we do. But do we really? Some people see the hallmarks of design all throughout the natural world. Are they just seeing what they want to see—like faces in the clouds—or are there objective ways to identify deliberate design … including in nature? Join satellite engineer Dr Mark Harwood for a discussion of five telltale signs that the universe and life are intentionally designed. Explore biomimetics, irreducible complexity, the role of information, and much more, as Dr Harwood argues that these features provide objective evidence of a mind behind nature, rather than undirected evolutionary processes.

A monkey’s worst nightmare—the handsome, awesome, intelligent, terrifyingly-taloned Harpy eagle!

Does anatomy and genetics support whale evolution?

Unveiling Homo bodoensis, a proposed human ancestor, reshaping notions of evolutionary history. Delve into the debate on Middle Pleistocene fossils and their implications for understanding human origins.

The 2015 Nobel Prize for Chemistry highlights that DNA would be useless without the repair mechanisms to preserve it.

This is irreducible complexity on steroids. Life defies naturalistic origins.

Did you know that even the ‘simplest’ life forms are jam-packed with biological ‘nanobots’? From DNA detanglers to rotary and linear motors—these molecular machines are absolutely fundamental to life. If molecular machines didn’t exist, life wouldn’t exist. So, given that evolution is widely taught as ‘fact’, presumably the origin of these nanomachines can be explained in terms of step-by-step evolutionary processes—right? Not at all! As plant biologist, Dr Don Batten, explains, biological nanobots clearly point to intelligent design. And that’s not a religious conclusion—it’s simply what the evidence indicates!

Spider silk is stronger than steel of the same weight because of its micro-structure.

Genetic engineering is no longer in the realm of science fiction. We review a Netflix series called Unnatural Selection and discuss the implications of the CRISPR-Cas9 technology.

The seeds of the Javan cucumber inspired advanced aeronautic designs that lead to modern stealth bombers and sophisticated gliders

When this jellyfish starts to grow old—it just makes itself young again. And again.
