Emergentism defies commonsense; there is also no scientific evidence that something material could produce an entity of a kind radically different from itself.
Created Kinds and Essential Natures: A Biblical and Philosophical Response to Evolutionists
Callie Joubert • July 27, 2011
Assuming that “natural kind” is a merely biological rather than metaphysical would be a mistake, resulting in Christians having difficulty evaluating and correcting rival views to created kinds.
An Examination of Augustine’s Commentaries on Genesis One and Their Implications on a Modern Theological Controversy
Dr. Tim Chaffey • July 13, 2011
Few individuals in church history are as popular as Augustine of Hippo. Old-earthers claim him as support for figurative interpretations of Genesis 1. But what did Augustine really say?
How Genomes are Sequenced and Why it Matters: Implications for Studies in Comparative Genomics of Humans and Chimpanzees
Jeffrey P. Tomkins • June 22, 2011
When evaluating comparisons between genomes using DNA sequence, it is important to understand the nature of how that sequence was obtained and bioinformatically manipulated before drawing conclusions.
The Human Retina Shows Evidence of Good Design
Dr. Jerry Bergman • June 8, 2011
Darwinists try to disprove the argument from design by providing examples of what they claim are poor design.
Toward an Accurate Model of Variation in DNA
Mitchel Soltys • March 2, 2011
The Bible’s description of created kinds implies an information model which uses variables. The findings in this paper show that a model which uses variables forms a basis for understanding biology.
Is the Sodium Chloride Level in the Oceans Evidence for Abiogenesis?
Dr. Jerry Bergman • Sept. 1, 2010
This paper examines this assumption and finds the evidence shows that the levels of salinity in seawater and human blood are markedly different.

A conflict exists between modern neo-Darwinism and orthodox biblical Christianity.
Baraminological Analysis Places Homo habilis, Homo rudolfensis, and Australopithecus sediba in the Human Holobaramin
Todd Charles Wood • May 5, 2010
This present study should end charges against creationists that classification of australopiths as human or ape is arbitrary and meaningless.
Inherit the Wind
Dr. Jerry Bergman • March 31, 2010
Although the play was widely believed to be an accurate synopsis of the historical trial, often called the Trial of the Century, it grossly distorted the actual events of history.
Fraud and Forgery in Paleoanthropology
Dr. Jerry Bergman • Dec. 23, 2009
A review of the history of paleoanthropology leads to the conclusion that the discipline is far less objective than that for physics, chemistry, or even biology.
Systematic Theology Texts and the Age of the Earth
Dr. Terry Mortenson • Dec. 16, 2009
In the past few decades there has been a growing controversy in society and in the Church over evolution and the age of the earth.
Towards a Creationary Classification of Mutations
Jonathan Bartlett • Dec. 2, 2009
Mutations are normally classified according to their proximal effect on an organism’s fitness, whether beneficial, deleterious, or neutral.
The Role of Genomic Islands, Mutation, and Displacement in the Origin of Bacterial Pathogenicity
Dr. Georgia Purdom • Oct. 28, 2009
Bacteria are mostly beneficial, even though a minority are known as pathogens. They are necessary for natural processes such as human digestion and biogeochemical cycling.
Fungi from the Biblical Perspective
Ira Loucks • Oct. 21, 2009
Fungi are intriguing organisms with a wealth of diversity in their morphology and ecology. Determining the fundamentals of their biology from a biblical perspective is a daunting but achievable task.
A Possible Function of Entamoeba histolytica in the Creation Model
Frank Sherwin • Oct. 14, 2009
There is a need for parasites such as Entamoeba histolytica to be addressed from a biblical perspective that may include their original symbiotic or mutualistic association in man.
A Review of Mitoribosome Structure and Function Does not Support the Serial Endosymbiotic Theory
Daniel Criswell • Oct. 7, 2009
It is apparent from the knowledge gained about mitochondria ribosome structure and function since the proposal of the Serial Endosymbiosis Theory that prokaryotes are not the ancestors of eukaryotes.
The Natural History of Retroviruses
Yingguang Liu , et. al. • Sept. 30, 2009
Evolutionists assume that all endogenous retroviruses are remnants of germ line infection by exogenous retroviruses.
More Abundant than Stars
Dr. Georgia Purdom , et. al. • Sept. 23, 2009

Genetics of Coat Color II
Dr. Jean Lightner • June 10, 2009
Recognizing the population bottleneck which occurred in land animals at the time of the Flood, it is clear that genetic variation was once more limited than it is today.
Toward An Understanding of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi
Tom Hennigan • Feb. 18, 2009
As we seek to discover the intent of the Designer, we can enhance our stewardship of the land by using this symbiosis to re-establish polluted and disturbed landscapes and grow sustainable crops.
There Is No Darwin Conspiracy
Todd Charles Wood • Jan. 28, 2009
Some contend that Charles Darwin plagiarized his theory of evolution. Whether you agree with the man or not, however, the evidence suggests the idea is his.
Radiocarbon Ages for Fossil Ammonites and Wood in Cretaceous Strata near Redding, California
Dr. Andrew A. Snelling • Dec. 10, 2008
Measurable radiocarbon has been detected in fossils from the earliest days of radiocarbon dating. When these data are put in perspective, their deadly significance to uniformitarianism is apparent.
Bacterial Attenuation and its Link to Innate Oncolytic Potential
Luke Kim • Oct. 15, 2008
Although bacteria have been mainly recognized as disease causing agents, there are abundant scientific evidences that bacterial pathogenicity is not the major biological function of bacteria.
Genetics of Coat Color I
Dr. Jean Lightner • Oct. 8, 2008
Given the number of alleles within baramins, much of the diversity at this locus must have developed since the genetic bottleneck at the Flood where only a single breeding pair was preserved.
Karyotype Variability within the Cattle Monobaramin
Dr. Jean Lightner • June 11, 2008
Chromosomal rearrangements, particularly centric fusions, have played an important role in developing the chromosomal patterns that are seen in cattle today.
Louis Pasteur’s Views on Creation, Evolution, and the Genesis of Germs
Dr. Alan L. Gillen , et. al. • Dec. 27, 2020
Shortly after Darwin published On the Origin of Species, Pasteur began to challenge the idea of spontaneous generation.
An Apology and Unification Theory for the Reconciliation of Physical Matter and Metaphysical Cognizance
Desmond Allen • Feb. 27, 2008
Because one is tangible and the other intangible, the physical and metaphysical are generally treated separately. But this dichotomy is illogical.
Evolution on Answers Research Journal
Neo-Darwinian evolution is the ruling paradigm in all of secular science. Universal common descent with modification by mutation and natural selection over millions of years pervades all biological and paleontological scientific fields. But Scripture explicitly teaches recent, divine creation of all life. All creatures were created by God originally perfect, “front-loaded” with massive genetic diversity according to their kinds (which is usually equated to the current biological classification of the Family level).
According to evolutionary theory, mutation and natural selection have produced all life forms from a common single-celled organism. But instead of showing evidence of Darwinian evolution, organisms show evidence of losing genetic diversity via mutation, natural selection, and speciation. Observable science supports the biblical model of created kinds that have lost genetic information, due to the fall and other mechanisms since, and contradicts molecules-to-man evolution.
The aim of these research papers in Answers Research Journal (ARJ) is to consider evolution from the perspective of the recent creation within a biblical framework and provide evidence that refutes molecules-to-man evolution. These professional, peer-reviewed papers address issues related to evolution in the fields of biology, genetics, microbiology, immunology, and other relevant scientific fields. Our journal considers evolution in light of creation, the created kinds (baraminology), the fall, paleontology, anthropology, mutation and natural selection, and more.
