Black smokers continuously shoot out thick black clouds of water at a temperature of 660 degrees Fahrenheit. No trace of sunlight ever penetrates to such depths. So why do these shrimp need eyes at all?   Scientists learned that the super-heated water coming out of black smokers is so hot that it actually glows. The glow isn’t all that bright, which is why these shrimp need such large eyes that they will fit only on the shrimp’s back.   Nothing escapes the

This mixture is combined with a catalyst to create the flashes of light.   Firefly flashes are used for finding a mate. Fireflies are able to read the light signals of other fireflies. These signals may contain several messages. Some flashes can tell a firefly whether the sender is one of his species. Light flashes are used to identify whether the sender is a male or female. If it's a female, the flashes can identify whether she has already mated.   This is ano

This is the Creation Moments Minute.   If evolution were fact, you would expect the corals to be very simple. You’d also expect them to have changed a lot in over half a billion evolutionary years.   However, corals are not simple creatures. The stinger they use to immobilize prey is very complex. At one end of the stinging capsule is a poker, covered by a protective cap. At the other end is a hollow tube, coiled like a rope. The capsule itself is filled with a powerful poison.   Coral is "surprisingly" complex to be so near the bottom of the e

The theory holds that in passing from fertilized egg to birth, the child goes through the evolutionary steps that led up to humans.   The truth is that while the unfortunate infant had only a brain stem, every bit of genetic information in that tissue was fully human. That brain tissue operated human organs within a human body

But on today's Creation Moments Minute, we’ll see that curiosity made the man.   According to Genesis, the first men were even building cities, inventing musical instruments, crafting in bronze and iron, and keeping calendars.   The Bible's picture of advanced, intelligent and ever-curious man is further supported by the discovery all over the world of ancient observatories. Some of these observatories, such as Stonehenge, are so ancient that little is known about the builders. Several years ago, 60 additional observatories were positively identified in the American Southwest. The first, and most famous, is the so-called "sun

Find out on today's Creation Moments Minute.   Scientists are learning that although plants do not have a nervous system, they do use electrical signals to respond to their surroundings in a similar way that our nervous system behaves. Such responses are very unexpected in what evolutionists consider simple plants. You can see it, for example, in how the Venus flytrap responds very quickly when its trigger hairs are touched by an insect.   However, if we see the creation as the work of a caring Creator Who endowed all of His creation with its

Find out on today’s Creation Moments Minute.   How much more simple are a garden slug’s brains than ours? To their surprise, researchers discovered that the slugs’ brains use some of the same chemical methods to learn and store information as do mammals. In other words, the slugs’ brains don’t use a simpler method to learn and remember than do a cat’s or a dog’s brain. Mammal brains and slug brains are based on the same design.   This finding came as a surprise and erases evolutionary distinctions between simpler and supposedly more evolved creatures. It reveals the C

Find out on today’s Creation Moments Minute.   So complex is the human brain that even some of today’s most visionary scientists have commented that they doubt science will ever fully understand how the brain works. To better understand the brain, scientists have been studying the brains of so-called simple creatures like the garden slug.   But how similar is the brain of a garden slug to the human brain? Researchers have been amazed at the unexpected similarities and abilities shared by both the garden slug and man. Researchers have found that garden slugs can be trained, using unpleasant flavorings, to
