Why Have Alligators Not Evolved?

Why Have Alligators Not Evolved?

These creatures were smaller and more adapted to their swampy habitats.” (Evolution of Modern Alligators). This is the standard teaching of mainstream science today. But what are the actual facts?   “The fossil record does support the evolution of reptiles, although it may not provide a complete and unbroken chain of transitional fossils for all reptile lineages.”—AI search   The Bible reports that, “God created the great creatures of the sea and every living thing with which the water teems and that moved about in it, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind, and God saw that it was good” (Genesis 1:21 NIV). God created all the creatures that make their home in the water, “according to their kinds”, that is, there are barriers as reproduction, or cross-breeding. 

“Alligators are often called “living fossils”, relatively untouched by major evolutionary changes for at least eight million years, with remarkably similar ancestors already hunting swamps alongside the dinosaurs. Yet, beginning in the 1850s, the arrival of rifle-wielding European settlers into the wetlands of Florida and Louisiana drove this evolutionary line to the verge of extinction.”-—How Alligators Are Breathing Life Into Florida’s Everglades, BBC Earth, April 19, 2025 read more

Did The Brain Evolve, or Was It Created?

Did the brain evolve, or was it created? 

“The human brain is staggeringly complex and the product of millions of years of evolution”—YourGenome.org

“We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5 NIV). The ability to develop thoughts and learn has to have come from God. The brain, where thoughts are developed, is far too complex to have evolved without design. Recent discoveries continue to give evidence of this.  

“Scientists achieved “a milestone” by charting the activity and structure of 200,000 cells in a mouse brain and their 523 million connections.
A neuron extends an axon to make contact with other neurons. A team of more than 100 scientists recorded the cellular activity and mapped the structure in a cubic millimeter of a mouse’s brain. read more

Do Not Be Deceived By Faked Embryo Drawings

Do Not Be Deceived By Faked Embryo Drawings

Since the 1860’s faked embryo drawings have been used by evolutionists to mislead many into believing that Darwinian evolutionary theory is scientifically true. 

“Your eyes could see my embryo” (Psalm 139:16 NJB).

“Watch out that no one deceives you” (Matthew 24:4 NIV).

But unsuspecting people, including schoolchildren, many have been deceived by such drawings purportedly representing actual biological embryos. read more

Dinosaur Evolution – From Five Fingers To Two Fingers?

Dinosaur Evolution – From Five Fingers To Two Fingers?

Artist's impression by Masato Hattori A tall brown dinosaur stands in a forest, its ostrich-like head almost in the tree canopy, grasping trees with hands containing two very large claws and sets of orange feathers on the arms. The dense rainforest is a dark green mixture of tropical-looking hardwood trees and fern-like plants.

 This two-fingered dinosaur is said to evolved from three fingered dinosaurs, who evolved from four fingered dinosaurs, who evolved from five fingered dinosaurs.  (Artist’s impression by Masato Hattori). Did dinosaur evolution really work this way?

A BBC article was published on March 25,2025, under the title of: “Unique two-clawed dinosaur discovered”

Some excerpts from the article are, as follows:

At nearly a foot long, the claws themselves were much larger than their underlying bone, the study revealed.
Besides better grasping, the two-fingered hands may have been used for display, digging, or as formidable weapons.
The most famous two-fingered theropods are species within the group tyrannosaurids, which includes Tyrannosaurus rex, but Duonychus evolved its two-fingered hands separately from them and from other two-fingered theropods.
The specimen also preserves the first keratinous sheath of a therizinosaur, an element that covers the claw much like human fingernails, aiding defence, movement, or prey catching. read more

Discovery – “Evolution Will Have To Be Rewritten Again”

Discovery – “Evolution Will Have To Be Rewritten Again”

Based on a new discovery, human evolution will have to be rewritten again, for the umpteenth time. The theory of macro-evolution presents the idea that life gradually developed from non-life as a single-celled organism, and from this over many millions of years evolutionary changes took place and many types of creatures came into being, with the final result being that humans developed from ape-like creatures. One of these that is thought to be closest to humans are called “Neanderthals”. Theories about exactly who these Neanderthals are have undergone many changes over the last 150 years. The Bible has said all along that, “From one human being he created all races of people and made them live throughout the whole earth” (Acts 17:26 GNB).   read more

Neanderthals Were Humans – Evolutionary Theory Disturbed

Neanderthals Were Humans – Evolutionary Theory Disturbed

Neanderthals have for some time been explained and drawn as subhumans, a “cave-man” type species, if you will. Those who believed what the Bible says, for example, “God made all sorts of wild animals, livestock, and small animals, each able to produce offspring of the same kind”, “God created human beings in his own image” (Genesis 1:25,27 NLT), have often been ridiculed by those who believed that humans evolved gradually from lower animals into humans. One of these lower creatures, it was asserted, was called Neanderthals. Recent discoveries, however, have forced evolutionists to revise their theory yet again, this time admitting that Neanderthals were near enough relatives to modern day humans that they interbred with humans to the point that the so-called Neanderthal species disappeared. read more

The Earth’s Rivers Say: “God’s Design Is Best!”

Many of the earth’s rivers have been modified by humans over the centuries. Now, humans are beginning to learn that “God knows best”, as the following BBC article illustrates, by giving just a few examples. 

“Speak to the earth to instruct you, and to the fish of the sea to inform you. Which of these does not know that the hand of God has done this?”—Job 12:7,8 NAB

The Brain Is Incredibly Complex–Evidence of a Creator!

“I  will give thanks to you because I have been so amazingly and miraculously made. Your works are miraculous, and my soul is fully aware of this”—Psalm 139:14 GWT

The brain is incredibly complex, far more complex than humans can understand at present, as the following BBC article gives evidence of. While modern science generally does not recognize or acknowledge a divine Creator, scientific evidence does give us more and more factual information to support what the Bible says about  “the Lord God Almighty”, “who created all things” (Revelation 4:8,11). read more

Darwinism Is Mistakenly Assumed To Occur

Darwinism Is Mistakenly Assumed To Occur

Researchers are doing commendable work to try to eliminate disease and cancer. The BBC article below is an example of how Darwinism is assumed to be true in this context. There are innumerable living things on earth, and new ones are being discovered all the time. As the Bible says, “O LORD, what a variety of things you have made! In wisdom you made them all. The earth is full of your creatures” (Psalm 104:24 NLT). Do living things gradually change from one species to another species over the course of millions of years, as Darwinism claims? Notice Merriam-Webster’s definition of Darwinism: read more

Macro-Evolution Theory Upset by ‘Revived 46,000 Year Old Worm’

Macro-evolution theory is revised frequently as result of new discoveries

Macro-evolution theory is the gradual change from one species to another over that is asserted to take place long periods of time. But why does the the theory of Macro-evolution constantly get revised? Scientists report they have revived an ancient worm, and have discovered that, “some processes of evolution are deeply conserved,” as reported in a CNN ARTICLE, of July 28,2023. Here is the article:

“Scientists have revived a worm that was frozen 46,000 years ago — at a time when woolly mammoths, sabre-toothed tigers and giant elks still roamed the Earth.

The roundworm, of a previously unknown species, survived 40 meters (131.2 feet) below the surface in the Siberian permafrost in a dormant state known as cryptobiosis, according to Teymuras Kurzchalia, professor emeritus at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden and one of the scientists involved in the research.

Scientists have revived a ‘zombie’ virus that spent 48,500 years frozen in permafrost
Organisms in a cryptobiotic state can endure the complete absence of water or oxygen and withstand high temperatures, as well as freezing or extremely salty conditions. They remain in a state “between death and life,” in which their metabolic rates decrease to an undetectable level, Kurzchalia explained.

“One can halt life and then start it from the beginning. This a major finding,” he said, adding that other organisms previously revived from this state had survived for decades rather than millennia.

Five years ago, scientists from the Institute of Physicochemical and Biological Problems in Soil Science in Russia found two roundworm species in the Siberian permafrost.

One of the researchers, Anastasia Shatilovich, revived two of the worms at the institute by simply rehydrating them with water, before taking around 100 worms to labs in Germany for further analysis, transporting them in her pocket.

After thawing the worms, the scientists used radiocarbon analysis of the plant material in the sample to establish that the deposits had not been thawed since between 45,839 and 47,769 years ago.

But still, they didn’t know whether the worm was a known species. Eventually, genetic analysis conducted by scientists in Dresden and Cologne showed that these worms belonged to a novel species, which researchers named Panagrolaimus kolymaenis.

Researchers also found that the P. kolymaenis shared with C. elegans — another organism often used in scientific studies — “a molecular toolkit” that could allow it to survive cryptobiosis. Both organisms produce a sugar called trehalose, possibly enabling them to endure freezing and dehydration.

“To see that the same biochemical pathway is used in a species which is 200, 300 million years away, that’s really striking,” said Philipp Schiffer, research group leader of the Institute of Zoology at the University of Cologne and one of the scientists involved in the study. “It means that some processes in evolution are deeply conserved.”

And, Schiffer added, there are other actionable insights which can be gleaned by studying these organisms.

“By looking at and analyzing these animals, we can maybe inform conservation biology, or maybe even develop efforts to protect other species, or at least learn what to do to protect them in these extreme conditions that we have now,” he told CNN.”
