Science is most powerful when its limitations in understanding the complexity of nature are recognized. Newtonian physics has been a powerful tool for understanding nature for hundreds of years and is still an essential part of any physics class, but it has its limitations in understanding complex systems, so more is needed.
How do we deal with persons who don’t believe that Genesis is right about creation and the flood?
Fossils and the rocks in which they are contained are an excellent platform for discussing origins from a biblical perspective, especially in relation to the design and complexity of ancient life and the worldwide destruction caused by Noah’s Flood.
An understanding of both the strengths and the limits of science can enable us to relate to it more realistically. Published on Volume 26/1 of the Perspective Digest
New study of neuronal diversification reveals the complexity of the gut's brain
It is not the level of detail that makes a science book scientific, but simply whether or not the level of detail given in the book is scientifically correct
Climatic effects of the impact and volcanism scenarios for the extinction of dinosaurs are investigated in a modelling paper.
A Cambrian fossil worm shows only minor differences from species still living, an example of family stasis.
Species may undergo minor adaptation through Darwinian processes, but this comes at the cost of genetic deterioration.
Darwin saw evolution as a slow and steady process with species gradually transforming into new species over long time. He thought that the fossil record should provide evidence for his theory. However, the needed evidence proved to be elusive.

Pseudogenes are important in gene regulation and other activities.
Changing a DNA sequence can affect a protein even if it does not change the amino acid sequence.
The iconic “March of Progress” is misleading
This article critically examines the purported biblical evidence brought forward to support the belief that the earth is flat. Originally published in the October 2019 issue of Reflections, newsletter of the Biblical Research Institute.
Claims of dinosaur DNA stir controversy
New nature documentary by Dr. Gordon Wilson premiers on March 6.
Cambrian arthropods were as complex as living species
The "Cambrian explosion" is a term used to describe the abrupt appearance in the fossil record of major animal phyla, without intermediate forms in lower layers. This pattern of abrupt appearance can be observed for many groups of organisms, including crinoids (sea lilies).
Several species of longwing butterflies are discovered to be hybrids.
