A new study finds that Archaeologists in South Africa have discovered the footprints of Homo sapiens dating to 153,000 years ago -. This is the oldest tracks attributed to us. .

Since he discovery of the Laetoli footprints that are estimated to be around 3.66 million years old, . but evolutionists claim that they were not human.

In Darwinian explanations, the cart often comes before the horse. Fossils are seldom if ever carbon dated because evolutionists assume that they are too old to contain radiocarbon.

And if some features are in the wrong place (evolutionary speaking, that is), they cannot be what they obviously are. A well-known example is the existence of fossil footprints in Tanzania that are assumed to be 3.6 million years old. This  brief video produced by Creation Ministries International shows, they look exactly like human footprints, yet Darwinists cannot accept this, because it would be contrary to their storytelling.

Space is big. Astronomers have found supernova SN 2023ixf in the Pinwheel galaxy, . It is some 21 million light years away from Earth.

Azalee Bostroem at the University of Arizona, says it was it was probably a type II supernova, in which a supergiant star runs out of fuel and collapses in on itself before exploding. 

If we leave evolution for the moment, the answer seems to be that God created us  in the beginning,

According to evolution, fish tend to flourish in the mountain ranges

According to evolution, biodiversity is typically high in mountain ranges. most likely because of tectonic activity and wide range of environments, However, mountain diversity often occurs within environments and in ranges that have long ceased being tectonically active.

 As an example, Stokes et al. describe diversification among lineages of a freshwater fish species that have an affiliation with metamorphic rock.

 

So the science says that the environment has a say in the evolution of fish. This could also be due to intelligent design,.

The James Webb Space Telescope caught Saturn's icy moon Enceladus spraying a 'huge plume' of watery vapor far into space —Evolutionist claim that  and that plume may contain chemical ingredients for life.

Saturn's moon is covered by ice.  Scientists learned about them in 2005, They contain methane, carbon dioxide and ammonia. Reaachers think that below all this ice, evolution has produced life.

According to Darwin, the omb jellies were the first to evolve

Were sponges  or comb jellies the first to split from the Darwinian animal family tree? New  research points, points strongly to comb jellies – but not all researchers are convinced.

According to Darwinism, all animals alive today are thought to be descended from a common ancestor that lived more than 600 million years ago. Until recently, researchers thought that sponges were the first group to split from this common ancestor and begin evolving separately. The next group to diverge from the animal family tree was then comb jellies.

However, this idea was challenged by a 2008 study based on genomes. It found that comb jellies appeared to have split off before sponges. Since then, papers using similar methods to argue both sides have flown back and forth “like a ping-pong match”, says Darrin Schultz at the University of Vienna in Austria.

Evolution supposed that 1. 7 million T rexes walked on Earth

According to evolution, the number of Tyrannosaurus rex was 1.,7 million of these creatures lived between 68 and 65.5 million years  ago. the previous study, published by Science In April 2021 put the figure at 2.5 millions.

 But the study did not question the age of the dinosaurs.

For those who want a holiday from Earth, the perfect spot would be to a trip to a super-Earth. Only that it is situated  some 72 light-years from Earth.

“Amadeo Castro-González, an astronomer at the Spanish Astrobiology Center who led a recent study describing the steamy planet, says the find could represent a new class of exoplanets, something between a rocky planet and a gas giant.” he says. Castro-González and colleagues used TESS data to estimate that the planet is 1.5 times bigger than Earth.

Researchers think the temperatures on the planet called TOI-244 b are thought to rise to more than 2000°C

The last known Tasmanian tiger or thylacine (Thylacinus cynocephalu) died in captivity at Hobart Zoo, in Tasmania. They were carnivorous marsupials. They disappeared from Australia probably in the 1980s.

However, since then sightings of them have sown that maybe the tiger is still hiding. "There is no evidence to confirm any of the sightings," Andrew Pask), a professor of epigenetics at the University of Melbourne.

Piranhas do not attack humans. However, in Brazil, they went after  holiday makers who had their legs on water and bit them.

"Piranhas do not exhibit unprovoked attacks on humans," said Steve Huskey, a professor of biology at Western Kentucky University. 

But when free food is available, they do attck. 

Acording to Genesis 3, fish became pradators after the Fall of Man.

According to evolution, when the Cretaceous did away with the dinosaurs, many mammals underwent a rapid increase in size. Several hypothesis have been put forward for this increase in size.

For instance, the in brontotheres, was a large mammal from the from the Eocene that grew in size. 

The researchers think that the increase in body size was caused by a macroevolutionary process of species being sorted.

Earth should not exist

Earth and the other inner solar planets —Mercury, Venus, and Mars —“should be a chaotic messaa nd models have suggested that they should not exist.

 “Planets constantly exert a mutual gravitational pull on each other – and these little tugs constantly make minor adjustments to the planets' orbits. The outer planets, which are much larger, are more resistant to little tugs and so maintain comparatively stable orbits.” 

They should have should have crashed into each other by now. However, that hasn't happened.

According to evolution, the first cancer in humans occurred 1.7 million years ago. This occurre around "1.7 million years ago. This individual, likely of the species Paranthropus robustus or Homo ergaster, lived with a malignant tumor in their left toe bone. Archaeologists discovered the skeletal remains inside Swartkrans cave, a limestone deposit in South Africa that's often called the Cradle of Humankind for being home to the largest concentration of human relative remains in the world."

Acording to evolution, mudskippers  could hold the secret to how ancient animals evolved the ability to live on land, a new study has found. 

Researchers have found that fish that can blink, and they evolved this ability independently from our ancestors — a concept known as convergent evolution. 

Some evolution believing scientists think that blinking evolved in land animals when they made the transition from the oceans roughly 375 million years ago.

How long do brains last?. Last year, fossils were found in the Castle Bank in Wales, the eyes and brain of a 462 million-year-old creatures were found amongst the remains.

“Researchers believe they've recovered eyes and brains and more than 170 species from the site, These include what appear to be late examples of Cambrian groups, including the weirdest wonders of evolution, the nozzle-nosed opabiniids, and early examples of animals that evolved later, including barnacles, shrimp and an unidentified six-legged insect-like creature."
