Swine flu—is it evolution?

In this “year of Darwin”, the anticreationists are seemingly not letting any opportunity pass to try to embellish evolution in the minds of the masses. The swine flu outbreak is the hot media topic of the moment and evolutionists are citing this disease as evidence of evolution occurring right before our eyes. But is this the case? Are the changes in viruses really proof of evolution? It’s also clear that many of their comments are aimed at the creation-believing community (a clear sign that the establishment is worried).

Medical doctor Carl Wieland and biologist Dr David Catchpoole reveal the simple truth behind the facts in their article Swine flu—is it evolution? Such a topical subject would also be a great way to start a conversation about evolution and creation.

Can’t drink milk? You’re “normal”!

Many people today are unable to drink milk. This is commonly known as lactose intolerance and for many years it was regarded as abnormal and viewed as evidence of human evolution. I.e., it fitted the evolutionary stereotype of some “races” being less evolved than others. But now researchers have discovered that it’s the other way round. Lactose intolerance in adults is actually “normal”, while those of us who can digest milk as adults are in reality “mutants”! For more on this read Can’t drink milk? You’re “normal”!

Cuttlefish camouflage

Cuttlefish are known as the “chameleons of the sea” due to their ability to produce an incredible array of bright colours at astonishing speeds. The knowledge of their ability to do this has inspired scientists to design a new type of TV screen, with very low power requirements—under 1% of normal screens. Once more we see God’s incredible design features in the natural world being copied by man. For more information click here.

Did Adam have an immune system?

This insightful question prompted a response for our regular weekend feedback on our website. If everything was created perfect, why would Adam need a biological defence system for harmful viruses, etc.? To find the answer read Adam and the immune system.

Seven signs of evolution in action

Well at least that’s what cable-news broadcaster MSNBC claimed. Once more this seems to be an attempt to counter the increasing questioning of Darwinian evolution this year, and indeed, the article itself pays homage to Darwin by mentioning this double-anniversary year. In the article they list seven evidences occurring around us that allegedly prove evolution. Most of these have already been answered on our website. However, we have responded to the article point by point as it provides a concise and useful rebuttal to the “best evidences” for evolution, because MSNBC’s “seven signs of evolution” actually all point to creation.

A Storehouse of Knowledge—A Biblical Worldview Encyclopedia

The secular world sidelines Christianity, and secular encyclopedias such as Wikipedia are no exception.  Wikipedia has a policy of not taking sides, yet it is dominated by people opposed to Christianity, with the result that evolution and long ages are treated as fact, and the true biblical account of origins is regarded as pseudoscience.  And it’s not just on the creation/evolution issue either; their article on the Mission Aviation Fellowship, for example, snidely says that "Medical work is sometimes used as a front for evangelism and conversion efforts in non-Christian areas".

To provide an alternative, a friend of CMI has created a new encyclopedia that, like Wikipedia, anyone can contribute to.  But unlike Wikipedia’s unstated anti-Christian bias, this new encyclopedia has an explicit biblical viewpoint.  A Storehouse of Knowledge is looking for more Christians to contribute to it, and is inviting CMI supporters and other Christians to help out.  Find out more here.
