All evolution in nature is the expression of already existing genes in a population. For example, today we have new breeds or "races" of dogs that didn't exist a few hundred years ago. The genes for these new varieties of dogs had always existed in the gene...
Thanks to Richard Dawkins, many have confused natural selection with evolution itself. Yes, Charles Darwin did show that natural selection occurs in nature, but what many don't understand is that natural...
The problem with evolutionary news of fossil finds, like the recent discovery of Ardi, is that the public is given an impression in the popular media that all scientists agree with the evolutionary conclusions of...
The scientific method is used every day in forensic science to determine whether an event in a crime scene was an accident or by design and intention. Mathematical probability is a scientific argument and is...
Does the recent news by scientists of a comet containing a chemical building block of life furnish evidence that comets were responsible for life's origin on Earth? In his book "In The Beginning" MIT scientist Dr....
Does the recent discovery of a supposed 47 million year old fossil of a monkey furnish us with a finally discovered "missing" link? The monkey is fully-formed and complete, but it shares similarities belonging to...
We all carry in our bodies expressed and unexpressed genes. For example, a husband and wife couple who both have black hair produce a child with blond hair. Would you call that evolution? Where did the blond hair...
The only evolution in nature that is observable and can be called science is micro-evolution, which is variations within biological kinds such as varieties of dogs, cats, horses and cows. Macro-evolution, or...
There has been a veritable tsunami of contradictions regarding religion -v- science for the lifetimes of many people who have considered this question. . It is an old argument, but one that still prevails...

There is a common misconception concerning evolution that continues to be perpetuated. For example, in November of 2004, articles appeared in major U.S. newspapers saying that running may have contributed to the...
Following outcries within the Royal Society, Professor Michael Reiss, who appeared in the media as advocating the teaching of reationsim in British classrooms, has quit his postion as director of education. "He was criticised by other scientists - though misquoted as saying...
Millions of people are taught in schools and textbooks all over the world that the fossil record furnishes scientific proof of evolution. But, where are there fossils of half-evolved dinosaurs or other creatures? ...
Millions of high school and college biology textbooks imply that Stanley Miller, in the 1950's, showed that life could arise by chance. Nothing could be further from the truth. Miller, in his famous experiment in...
