Conditions on the peak of Llullaillaco, 2050 metres or 6739 above sea level, are cold, dry and hostile – but some mice somehow survive there.

in 2020,  researchers found a leaf-eared mouse (Phyllotis vaccarum) near the summit of Llullaillaco a volcano on the border of Argentina and Chile and the latest research shows that they actually make the mountain their home.

Yes, when they were created to live on Earth,  they can even take the hardest environment as their home.

Earthen piles built by a chicken-like bird in South Australia aren’t just egg incubators — they may also be crucial for the distribution of key nutrients throughout the ecosystem.

That is what the malleefowl (Leipoa ocellata) does.  Like the elephants, they also take care of the environment. In deserts, owls and giant lizards also support plant and animal life with their burrows .

These birds  are called “ecosystem engineer. ”

Evolutionist get a view on what caused the ridges on Jupiter’s moon Europa

Joel Kontinen

Jupiter’s moon Europa is covered in strange pairs of parallel ridges. Now, evolutionary researchers have found a similar feature in Greenland and used it to unravel how such ridges form – which may help us understand how Europa’s subsurface ocean interacts with its icy shell.

So, Greenland example shows how Europa’ s ice formed.

 Riley Culberg at  Stanford University in California spotted a similar pair of ridges in satellite images of the Greenland ice sheet. He and his colleagues analysed how these formed and found that it was due to pockets of liquid water within the ice sheet. When some of that water refreezes, it expands, creating cracks in the ground and pressurising the remaining water, which pushes upwards on either side of the refrozen section. That upwelling causes the parallel ridges

According to evolutionists, this might be good for prospects of life on Europa “If there’s a lot of shallow water in the ice shell, it means that there has to be some amount of exchange between the ocean and the surface,” says Culberg. “That kind of movement allows for the mixing of chemistry and heat that you need in order for life to happen.” If there is life in Europa’s ocean, it might also make its way into these pockets of fluid, making it far easier to find, he says.

But we would say that the solar system was made by God,, So .Greenland   is an aberration,

According to evolution, species tend to flourish for a some time and then die off. However, at times even the dead come back to life.

The (Rhinolophus hilli),is the latest of these Lazarus animals  The most famous of them is the Coelacanth.

In 2020, they found a chameleon in Madagascar. 

 Reseaerchers had not seen the bat  from 1981but it has made  has made a comeback,  Her is what Sience News tells us:

Julius Nziza still remembers the moment vividly. Just before dawn on a chilly January morning in 2019, he and his team gently extracted a tiny brown bat from a net purposely strung to catch the nocturnal fliers.

It was the  horsehow bat.

When God created the difference in people at the Tower of Babel, he merely changed their languages.

But here’s New Scientist says:

“People may subconsciously overestimate the presence of individuals from minority ethnic groups, even if they belong to those groups, which could create illusions of diversity within populations.”

It goes on to say;

“Individuals from the minority group are by definition less frequent,” says Rasha Kardosh at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel. “Therefore, we are more likely to notice them and so are more likely to remember their presence, and so we end up overestimating their presence.”

Yes, we often notice the difference in peoples, But still, all were made in God’s image-

Sientist have tested whether tardigrades can travel on snails for a little while, on anails,Tthe authors Milena Roszkowska and Zofia Książkiewicz at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poland decides to investigate.

They found out that the tardigrades hitched a ride on the snails.

Tardigrates are of living fossils. They were first reported in the Cambrian  strata “530 million years” ago, which means that evolutionists see them as one of the oldest kinds of living fossils.

Some scientist say that the asteroid slammed into  earth some 66 million years ago and brought – according to evolution, the ageof the dinosaurs to a close, may have left an immaculately preserved dinosaur leg in in North Dakota

They think that the fossil is a  dinosaur leg belongs to Thescelosaurus, an herbivorous dinoisaur whose name means "wonderful lizard" in ancient Greek. 

According to evolution, it is also possible that the theselosaurus and other animals died days or years before the impact. 

But judging from a creations aspect, the dinosaur probably died in the flood of Noah days.

“The speediest stars in the galaxy, moving at hundreds or even thousands of kilometres per second, … A study of 15 of these fast-moving objects has found that most of them probably came from dwarf galaxies devoured by the Milky Way in the distant past.”

“Some stars that are travelling fast have been [proposed to have] an extragalactic origin, but this is the first time that a relatively large sample has been analysed and evidence has been shown that “ they are the fastest stars yet seen.

Yes, some stars are puzzling. the universe does not show that Darwinian processes have built it up, It does show, however, that intelligent design has done this,

When scientist age things in the millions f years, a small mistake can bring great results.  Now, they are certain that the Milky Way's 'thick disk' is 2 billion years older than scientists thought ,

Now, “ scientists inferred the ages of roughly 250,000 stars in the Milky Way using brightness, positional and chemical composition data gathered by two powerful telescopes: the European Space Agency's (ESA) orbiting Gaia observatory, and the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST) in China.”

They “discovered that thousands of stars in a part of the Milky Way known as the "thick disk" began forming some 13 billion years ago — 2 billion years earlier than expected, and just 0.8 billion years after the Big Bang.”

 Sometimes, some stars are older that the Big Bang.

Evolutionistin käsitys menneestä ajasta

Uusi arkeologisten tutkimusten aalto rekonstruoi intiimejä yksityiskohtia esi-isiemme elämästä kivettyneestä jalanjäljestä. Ne antavat meille välähdyksiä alkaen kaikesta vanhempien ja lasten välisistä suhteista jättiläismäisen laiskiasmetsästyksen jännitykseen.

Nuori nainen kamppailee mutaisella tasangolla kantaen 3-vuotiasta lasta vasemmalla lantiolla. Hän laskee lapsen alas vetääkseen henkeä. Mutta hän ei uskaltaa pysähtyä pitkään. Pari on yksin, helppo kohde lähistöllä oleville sapelihampaisille kissoille. Hän poimii taas lapsen ja kiiruhtaa eteenpäin kadoten kaukaisuuteen. Hetken kaikki on hiljaista. Sitten jättiläinen laiskiainen ryntää hänen valitsemansa polun poikki. Eläin sieppaa naisen tuoksun ja on heti valppaana, kohoaa ja kääntyy etsimään maisemaa ihmismetsästäjien löytämiseksi.

Millaista oli elää kivikaudella? Maan kymmeniä tuhansia vuosia sitten asuneille ihmisille on täytynyt olla ilon, pelon, rakkauden, tuskan ja ehkä jopa ihmetyksen hetkiä. Mutta tunteet eivät fossilisoidu, joten olemme suljettuina noilta hetkiltä, ​​joita erottaa valtava aikakuilu. Löydämme kaikki luut ja työkalut, joista pidämme, mutta ne eivät kerro meille muinaisten esi-isiemme elämänkokemuksesta. Sitten taas uusi ikkuna heidän jokapäiväiseen olemassaoloonsa saattaa avautua. Kun ihmiset kulkivat, he jättivät taakseen lukemattomia jalanjälkiä. Nämä tallensivat heidän käyttäytymisensä ainutlaatuisella tavalla ja tallensivat kaiken hermostuneesta seikkailusta määrätietoisiin sprintteihin.

Lisäksi kappaleilla on järjestys, mikä tarkoittaa, että tapahtumat voidaan lukea narratiivina. Tuo tarina naisesta, lapsesta ja jättiläislaiskiaisesta on esimerkki, jonka olemme löytäneet kirjoitettuna muinaisille jäljille.  

Mutta Genesiksen mukaan ihminen ei ole elänyt kymmeniätuhansia vuosia sitten.

Mammals have the largest brain of all animals

BrandonRobert Nicholls.

Joel Kontinen 

According to evolution, mammals have the largest brain size of all animals. After the death of the dinosaurs, they grew.  It was only later, in the in the Eocene that brain size began to increase.

 In Paleocene fossils show that this period the fossils were likely driven by a need for greater cognition in increasingly complex environments. This led to the highly encephalized brains of today, including those of humans.

 This is just a show of Darwinian speculation without any proof.

Evolutionist asks. why did cockroaches escape the 66 million year old catastrophe?

How did cockroaches survive tinosaur  killing asteroid strike? That is what some evolution believing scientist ask.

They seem to know that when the rock now known as the Chicxulub impactor plummeted from outer space and slammed into the Earth 66 million years ago, cockroaches were there.

This is because millions of years are Darwinian dogma that they cannot doubt. 

Here’ s how an evolution believing scientist explains it. “The impact caused a massive earthquake, and scientists think it also triggered volcanic eruptions thousands of miles from the impact site. Three-quarters of plants and animals on Earth died, including all dinosaurs, except for some species that were ancestors of today’s birds.

How could roaches a couple of inches long survive when so many powerful animals went extinct? It turns out that they were nicely equipped to live through a meteoric catastrophe.”

Cockroaches are small, and their bodies are very flat and they can hide hey practically anywhere.

Evolution believing scientist cannot explain why some dinosaurs turned intp birds, as birds lived with dinos,

Skingrays can count

Animals can show a variety of skills, Now, Stingrays and zebra mbuna fish know how to add and subtract.

Research has shown that  Stingrays and zebra mbuna fish can perform simple addition and subtraction involving numbers between 1 and 5.

A little earlier, elephants were known to have counted the number of apples in a cart and that they could also distinguish between three different human languasages, and a study in 2016 recognised that cuttlefish could count.  

Now, it this study “Vera Schluessel at the University of Bonn in Germany and her colleagues designed tests to work out whether ocellate river stingrays (Potamotrygon motoro) and zebra mbuna (Pseudotropheus zebra) can add or subtract the numerical value of “one” from numbers between 1 and 5.

The team first trained six zebra mbunas and four stingrays to make choices after seeing an initial stimulus. The fish started in a section where they were shown an initial picture of two shapes for 5 seconds. After this period, they could swim through an open door into a test area where there were two more pictures of shapes: one showing a single shape and another showing three shapes.

If the two shapes in the initial picture were yellow, the fish were rewarded in the test area if they swam towards the image showing just one shape – a subtraction operation. If the two shapes in the initial image were blue, the fish were rewarded in the test area for swimming towards the image showing three shapes – an addition operation. “

What is interesting is that at least one plant, the Venus flytrap, also knows how to count.

For Darwinists, animal intelligence is an enormous dilemma, and plant intelligence even more so.

But in a created world we would expect animals and plants to show evidence of intelligence.
