Astronomers have found an exoplanet more than twice the size of Earth to be potentially habitable, opening the search for life to planets significantly larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune.

This is a good example of the way the fallacies of darwinism persist and operate. We cited Hoyle again today: natural selection can never be right, so where does this article go wrong? There are a …

A research team has discovered the first conclusive evidence that selection may also occur at the level of the epigenome — a term that refers to an assortment of chemical ‘annotations’ to the genome that determine whether, when and to what extent genes are activated — and has done so for tens of millions of years.

Selectionist theory is a strange gift to amateurs to bypass professionals and expose the ideological and pseudo-scientific claims of darwinian/neo-darwinian biologists… This article (at least…

The persistence of the neo-Darwinian synthesis is most suspiciously correlated with the rise of neo-liberalism and we are stymied in attempts to demonstrate a direct connection, but we should be vi…

One of the most obvious problems with most evolutionary thinking, beyond the ideological barrier to thought, is the way they ignore a basic fact: ‘evolution’ must occur over a region an…

Using a machine-learning algorithm, researchers have identified a powerful new antibiotic compound. In laboratory tests, the drug killed many of the world’s most problematic disease-causing bacteria, including some strains that are resistant to all known antibiotics. It also cleared infections in two different mouse models.
