SCIENTISTS STILL DON'T HAVE A CLUE HOW LIFE BEGAN
John 6:29
"Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."
In a typical anti-creationist op-ed piece for Scientific American, columnist John Horgan begins by explaining why he titled his column: "Pssst! Don't tell the creationists, but scientists don't have a clue how life began."
Horgan looks at an Arizona State University status report on research into the origin of life. In Horgan's own words, the scientists concluded, "Geologists, chemists, astronomers and biologists are as stumped as ever by the riddle of life."
He also notes that he was most startled by the revelation that more scientists than ever are believing in the directed panspermia theory. As we've mentioned on a previous Creation Moments broadcast, this is the notion proposed by DNA co-discoverer Francis Crick that aliens came to Earth in a spaceship and planted the seeds of life here billions of years ago. I guess that's like saying that ET didn't phone home after all but started a family of his own here on Earth.
Though he admits that this notion fails to explain how those aliens came into existence, Horgan quickly claims that creationists have the same problem in explaining how life first began. After all, he says, "What created the divine Creator?"
Of course, this is a question that was answered centuries ago. God is the uncreated Creator. Of course, columnist Horgan won't agree with this answer. But he should stop misleading his readers by claiming that creationists are just as perplexed about the origin of life as evolutionists are.
Heavenly Father, evolutionists believe in even the most far-fetched things rather than to believe in You. I pray that You will change some of them from doubters into believers!

CARBON-14 BEING FOUND IN DINOSAUR FOSSILS!
Psalm 25:5
"Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day."
Evolutionists were so sure that dinosaur fossils are too old to contain any carbon-14, they never even bothered to check. Or perhaps they were afraid of what they would find. In any case, creationist scientists are now boldly going where evolutionists have feared to tread.
An article in the spring 2015 edition of the Creation Research Society Quarterly presents never-before-seen carbon dates for 14 different fossils, including a Triceratops and other dinosaurs. As ICR scientist Brian Thomas points out, "Because radiocarbon decays relatively quickly, fossils that are even 100,000 years old should have virtually no radiocarbon left in them. But they do."
Using the services of five different commercial and academic laboratories, the research team tested seven dinosaur bones and detected carbon-14 in them all. The team also looked at several dozen published carbon-14 results for fossils, wood and coal throughout the geologic column and found radiocarbon in almost 50 samples.
Evolutionists, of course, try to explain it all away by saying the samples were contaminated. Nice try, but if this were true, how could it be said that any radiocarbon dating results are accurate? Evolutionists can't just toss out data they don't like!
Or maybe they can. In this way, they are acting like police officers telling bystanders, "Nothing to see here, folks. Just move along." If anything, this type of behavior strongly suggests that something really is going on! And in this case, it's proof positive that dinosaurs are thousands and not millions of years old!
Heavenly Father, thank You for raising up creationists who are uncovering evidence that the Earth is young. I pray that this will cause many people to question and then abandon their belief in evolution. Amen.

WHAT'S THIS? A WARM-BLOODED FISH?
Psalm 8:8-9
"The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!"
Though the fish story I'm about to tell you is absolutely true, it goes against what we've always been taught about fish being cold-blooded. Scientists have just discovered the very first warm-blooded fish. Though fish typically require heat from the environment to stay warm, the opah is able to elevate its own temperature without the help of its environment.
So how does the opah pull off this trick? Biologist Nick Wegner tells us, "The opah appears to produce the majority of its heat by constantly flapping its pectoral fins, which are used in continuous swimming." But the opah's real secret was discovered when scientists examined the opah's unique gills.
As an article at Live Science explains, "The blood vessels are set up so that the vessels carrying cool, oxygenated blood from the gills to the body are in contact with the vessels carrying warm, deoxygenated blood from the body to the gills. As a result, the outgoing blood warms up the incoming blood, a process called counter-current heat exchange."
Hey, wait a minute! Doesn't this sound like the "wonder net" heat-exchange system in birds that we described in a Creation Moments program called "Why birds don't need socks"?
Evolutionists will have to say that this heat-exchange system evolved not only in birds but in fish as well. But we have a much better explanation. The same God who created birds on the fifth day of creation used the same design on the opah, which He also created on day five.
Heavenly Father, it makes perfect sense to me that You would invent a heat-exchange system and then use it for more than one kind of creature. Similarities of design indicate that all of creation had one Creator! Amen.

HOW THE SEAHORSE GOT ITS SQUARE TAIL
Genesis 1:31a
"And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good."
Evolutionists and creationists alike enjoy gazing upon the elegant seahorse swimming lazily about the aquarium. However, only creationists are able to see that the seahorse bears the unmistakable stamp of design � all the way from the top of its horse-shaped head to the tip of its unique square tail.
Yes, I said square tail. This striking design makes the seahorse considerably better at gripping and grasping than if it had curved sections in its tail. When you look closely, you will see that the tail is made up of about 36 square-like segments that progressively taper off in size along the length of the tail. By using a 3D printer to duplicate the tail and submitting it to crushing tests, an international team of researchers has now discovered that the squared sections also provide the seahorse with much better armor than a cylindrical tail.
"Almost all animal tails have circular or oval cross-sections � but not the seahorse's," said Michael Porter, lead investigator and assistant professor in mechanical engineering at Clemson University. Porter's research group is now using 3D printing to help them develop new structures and robotic systems.
Although evolutionists will tell you that the seahorse's unique tail only appears to be designed, they act as if the tail really was designed! After all, how intelligent would it be for them to pursue new technologies based on the tail of a seahorse that has no intelligence behind it at all?
Heavenly Father, it is so obvious to me that creatures like the seahorse were designed by You. I pray that You will use me to make others aware that all of creation points directly to You! In Jesus' Name. Amen.

BUBONIC PLAGUE, A PROBLEM FOR EVOLUTIONISTS
Psalm 38:7
"For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh."
Want to ruffle the feathers of an evolutionist? Just remind him that mutations are harmful. Yes, there are many mutations that are neutral, but beneficial mutations are only a figment of the evolutionist's imagination. The truth is that mutations typically bring about deformities and death. Such is the case with the tiny mutation that changed a harmless organism found in the intestines of humans and animals into a bacteria that resulted in the bubonic plague.
I am talking about the genetic alteration of the Yersinia pestis bacterium. Research conducted at the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine has discovered that a single, tiny genetic change fundamentally altered the bacterium into a killer that took the lives of more than 75 million people in 14th century Europe.
In this case, the mutation caused what is known as the "black death." In other cases, mutations cause cancer and a host of other deadly diseases. Think about it. Why would dentists cover your body with lead shielding when you get dental x-rays if the radiation might bring about a beneficial mutation?
As this new research makes clear, mutations are harmful and can even bring about the death of millions. Neither do mutations lead to new species. If anything, they lead to the extinction of species. Despite the evidence, evolutionists persist in claiming that mutations plus natural selection over millions of years add up to all forms of life on our planet. However, the lack of beneficial mutations is the kiss of death to evolution.
Heavenly Father, when the first Adam disobeyed You, suffering and death were unleashed upon our world. I thank You that Your Son � the Last Adam � brought to our world healing and forgiveness. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
