Mars little moon Deimos is not a captured asteroid, as many evolutionists believe. 

Now scientist think that it is the same materiel as Mars, perhaps broken off in a long-ago collision. Evolutionist suppose that Earth's moon is thought to have formed from a similar collision billions of years ago.

It looks like a weirdo, The researchers have found a jellyfish species that has 24 eyes arranged in clusters of six around its cubic body,

This species is called Tripedalia maipoensis, reserachers doubt that the 1.5 centimeters animal can sting humans, but it may be venomous enough to stun tiny shrimp called Artemia.

The Tully monster is a Darwinian enigma

Some animals are so weird that they don’t fit into evolutionary classifications. Of today’s creatures, the duck-billed platypus , the spiny anteater and the aardvark are huge puzzles for Darwinians.

Now, the Tully monster (Tullimonstrum gregarium( that lived 
is presented as a Darwnian enigma.


Some researches say that it is an invertebrate but others say no.

Evolutionists believe that T. gregarium lived “300 million years” ago. It probably grew to roughly 35 centimetres (14 inches). But what it was remains an enigma.©

The dino killing asteroid did not trigger a long lasting winter

The massive asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs also triggered mega-earthquakes that lasted months.  That was the story until last month.

Now, however, recent research shows that the impact did not trigger a long-lasting  winter.  

According to evolution, roughly 66 million years ago, an asteroid approximately 10 kilometres or 6.2 miles across smashed into Earth near the Yucatan Peninsula, plunging the planet into darkness and causing a mass extinction that wiped out 80% of animal life — including all the non-avian dinosaurs except some who did not, for instance theTuatara  (Sphendon punctatus) that still lives in New Zealand.

However, scientists have discovered an ancient lakebed buried under more than 1,5 kilometres or a mile of ice that may hold secrets to Greenland's past climate or its ice-free past – that is, the global flood of Noah's flood or 4 500 years ago. and the petrified forests of Antartica also speak of Noah's Flood.

 Evolutionists claim that a possible candidate for dark matter has been found. . It is a axion dark matter than weakly massive particles (WIMPs), which have long been the leading candidate for dark matter

 They say that galaxies to be surrounded by haloes of dark matter. But some scientists are not satisfied with the explanation,

The remains of a dinosaur and insects were found together

It is not often that the remains of dinosaurs and beetles were found together. However, this happened when  scientists found battered feathers and prehistoric beetle larvae encased in amber have revealed that stretches back more than 105 million years – the oldest example of symbiosis between dinosaurs and arthropods.

The place of the fond was in Spain. According to evolution, it dates back to the Cretaceous period.

Apes walked of fours but then discarded their walk

According to evolution, dense forests in eastern Africa started to give way to open woodlands 10 million years earlier than previously thought. It drove the evolution of upright apes which later gave rise to humans.   

That is the conclusion of an evolution team  that “has been analysing from ancient soil to fossil ape bones at several sites in the region.

They  walked on fours  But some 220 million years ago they became bigger and walked on their legs.

What is the evidence for this? It is hidden, as things are in evolution.

A jellyfish is a sea anemone

A fossil that was thought by evolutionists to be a jellyfish is another animal entirely, It was upside-down the whole time.

Evolutionist believe that the fossil is 300 million years old.  The scientist found out that “E. asherae wasn't a jellyfish at all. It was a bulbous sea anemone that anchored itself to the seafloor with its muscular foot “ 

Such things happen to believers in evolution

Sandgrouse have a special trick for caying water to their young. "Male Namaqua sandgrouse (Pterocles namaqua) make daily trips to watering holes in South Africa."They soak their lower feathers in water, and the birds fly perhaps 30 kilometres to their thirsty young, which suck water from their father’s feathers.

This is a sign of inteligent design that the birds have attained. It cold not evolve by natural means.

New dates for ichthyosaur extinction

Bones discovered on the remote Arctic island of Spitsbergen suggest the ancient marine reptiles known as ichthyosaurs roamed Earth's oceans for much longer than evolutionist thought possible.  

They were dated to 250 million years ago.  The remains represent the oldest evidence of ichthyosaurs we've ever seen. 

What is more, the bones were already large and well-adapted to marine life,  This suggests that evolutionists need to adjust their timeline for ichthyosaurs. Now they are thought to have appears prior to the End-Permian Mass Extinction that according to 

evolution took place 251.9 million years ago.

These holes in the ocean may actually be made by tiny shrimp-likecreatures,

In the deep seafloor holes  have popped up in the Bering Sea, and scientists these creatures were made by small, shrimp-like crustaceans.  

They were probably made in the millions or thousands of years before our time

A study shows that sheep, camels, goats, gazelles and other hoofed animals are better at figuring out solutions to puzzles when they are less integrated into social groups.

These animals can find food, shelter and other needs on their own without group help, This could fuel innovation,   This what Federica Amici at the University of Leipzig in Germany says.

Researchers find a molecule that stated life

According to evolutionary thinking, once upon a time,  chemical reactions among the mix of organic molecules began to be powered from within, forming something we might start to think of as biological.

But Darwinists t do know  know the timing of this speculative incident.

Now, however, researchers from Rutgers University and The City College of New York have identified a simple peptide they are calling nickelback.

" ’Scientists believe that according to evolution sometime between 3.5and 3.8 billion years ago there was a tipping point, something that kick-started the change from prebiotic chemistry – molecules before life – to­ living, biological systems,’  says biochemist and molecular biologist Vikas Nanda, from Rutgers University in New Jersey.”'

New science on the Tyrannosaurus rex

According to evolution, the theropod dinosaurs, such as the Tyrannosaurus rex,  were more similar to the crocodilians than any other species. , 

Now, however, the researchers have found out that they looked like the modern Komodo dragons than crocodiles. They also had lips that covered their teeth.

The Corsican wildcat is a sub species

Genetics research has shown that the cat fox is not half cat and half fox, but Corsican wildcats get their "cat-fox" nickname from their fox-like colour and large tail. but they are real cats.

The cat is a species but it should not be confused with foxes and cats. The Corsican wildcats is an own species called Felis Silvestris  and it can hybridize with other wild cats.

Noah did not thus have to take more than two animals of the cat kind into the ark.

A male and a female of this baramin (created kind) could produce all the varieties of cats that we see around us, from the tiniest domestic cat to
 Cecil the Lion.

Other hybrids include ligerszonkeyswholpinsgeeps and grolars
