Toward an Accurate Model of Variation in DNA

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.

Those Enigmatic Neanderthals

Those Enigmatic Neanderthals

Anne Habermehl • Jan. 13, 2010

Young-earth creationists rightly consider that Neanderthals were human, but are divided on various issues.

Fungi from the Biblical Perspective

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.

The Natural History of Retroviruses

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

More Abundant than Stars

Dr. Georgia Purdom , et. al. • Sept. 23, 2009

Microbes form a life-sustaining organosubstrate on earth and contribute to our understanding of geology, ecology, and biology.

Microbes and the Days of Creation

Microbes and the Days of Creation

Dr. Alan L. Gillen • Jan. 16, 2008

The world of germs and microbes has received much attention in recent years. But where do microbes fit into the creation account?

Molecular Biology on Answers Research Journal

Evolutionists assert that life arose from non-life billions of years ago (abiogenesis). The first organism is proposed to be unicellular and simplistic. Over time, processes like mutations and natural selection have added systems at the nuclear and cellular level, resulting in complex, multi-cellular organisms. Organelles like mitochondria and chloroplasts are believed to have originated from bacteria that were engulfed by cells but not digested. They formed symbiotic relationships within the cell leading to the formation of all multi-cellular life like plants and animals. Complex biochemical systems such as DNA replication, transcription, translation, biosynthesis, metabolism, etc., are believed to have evolved in a stepwise fashion over billions of years.

The aim of these research papers in Answers Research Journal (ARJ) is to show that molecular biology is so complex that it had to be designed by the Creator God. These professional, peer-reviewed papers address issues related to molecular biology and how that relates to other disciplines. Our journal considers molecular biology in light of creation, evolution, genetics, cellular biology, genome comparisons, mutations, DNA clocks, and more.

Molecular biology encompasses many systems, as listed previously, that are irreducibly complex. These systems involve many steps, many proteins, and many chemicals that must work together in precisely the right order at the right time. They could not have evolved in a stepwise fashion because the system would fail to function without all the components. Instead, all biological systems were created instantly by God, fully formed and functioning.
