| Is Horizontal Gene Transfer a Force for Evolution? April 13, 2009 Two more genomes were published last week: the information libraries of two tiny microbes. They are members of Micromonas, green algae less than two microns across. The original paper and summary both bragged about how the genetic information is helping shed light on evolution, but did the data really contain any light? If so, the light was pointing downward. Worden et al published the genomes of RCC299 and CCMP1545, two isolates of the picophytoplankton clade Micromonas.1 John M. Archibald commented on the paper in Perspectives article in the same... |
Darwinists Topple Darwins Tree of Life (it's about time!)

| Darwinists Topple Darwins Tree of Life Darwins Tree of Life is a myth. Its based on circular reasoning. It is a pattern imposed on the data, not a fact emerging from the evidence. We should give up the search for a single tree of life (TOL) as a record of the history of life on earth, because it is a quixotic pursuit unlikely to succeed and the evidence is against it. Who said this? Not creationists, but a new member of the National Academy of Sciences in his inaugural paper for the academys Proceedings.1 W. Ford Doolittle and Eric... |
Darwin's Evolutionary Tree 'Annihilated'

| Darwin's Evolutionary Tree 'Annihilated' by Brian Thomas, M.S.* In 1837, Charles Darwin drew his first evolutionary tree in his B notebook, with the words I think scrawled above it, to illustrate his idea that all of todays species arose from a single common ancestor. But the poor fit of gene sequence data is forcing scientists to abandon the tree.1 Biologists need to depart from the preconceived notion that all genomes are related by a single bifurcating tree,2 making way for a new paradigm of origins. A non-Darwinian evolutionary view has been offered, but this proposition is actually just the old... |
Why Did God Make Viruses?

| Why Did God Make Viruses? by Dr. Jean K. Lightner January 7, 2009 If God created everything good and with a purpose, why are there disease-causing bacteria and viruses in the world? It is true that we first learned about bacteria and viruses because of the problems they cause. Bacteria have been studied in considerable detail and are now recognized to be mainly helpful and absolutely essential for life on earth; bacteria that cause disease (which occurred as a result of the Fall) are the exceptions, not the rule. But what about viruses: what purpose could they possibly have?... |
