Read the following stories and much more by clicking the excerpt link at bottom:

1. ScienceDaily: “Discovery Raises New Doubts About Dinosaur-Bird Links"

The allegation that birds evolved from dinosaurs is frequently treated as factual by evolutionists. Now, researchers have refuted that notion—and it starts with an unexpected discovery about bird anatomy.

2. LiveScience: “Do Dinosaurs Still Exist?”

Creationists don’t claim that dinosaurs are still alive today. But because we believe at least two of each dinosaur kind survived Noah’s Flood (i.e., were on the Ark), we view the possibility as distinctly more likely than evolutionists.

3. BBC News: “Early Rocks to Reveal Their Ages”

Scientists have honed a geological technique to piece together the history of tectonic plates.

4. LiveScience: “Genetic Difference Found in Wild vs. Tame Animals”

What makes an animal wild or tame—is it only human intervention? On the contrary, a decades-long study seeks to identify a genetic basis for animals’ attitudes toward humankind.

5. The Guardian: “Our Primate Ancestors Have Been Laughing for 10m Years”

Apes have been laughing for 10 million years, showing that laughter originated in a common ancestor of apes and humans. Ha!

THANKS MUCH.

With all these ape/human comparisons going on, I can't help but wonder, when are they going to start doing human/liberal comparisons?

When are they going to map the liberal genome?

I think somebody is asleep at the switch.

[GodGunsGuts]

LOL...it will end the same way as all materialist explanations—unsatisfactory. That is because liberalism is a spiritual problem, not a genome problem. Having said that, they are finding that what we think actually affects the epigenome, which in turn affects the genome...so who knows!
