Ancient South Carolina whale yields secrets to filter feeding’s origins

The blue whale is the largest animal that has ever lived. And yet they feed almost exclusively on tiny crustaceans known as krill. The secret is in the baleen, a complex filter-feeding system that allows the enormous whales to strain huge volumes of saltwater, leaving only krill and other small organisms behind. Now, researchers who have described an extinct relative of baleen whales in Current Biology on June 29 offer new insight into how baleen first evolved.

Creationist Takedown of Lucy - Debunked!

A blow-by-blow critique of Genesis Apologetics' debunking video on Lucy - the world's most celebrated fossil of an ancient human ancestor.

A Creationist teacher gathers together some impressionable teens to show them that everything that points to Lucy being a transitional being is wrong.

But is this really because of faulty science, or because it inconveniently flies in the face of the Biblical account of Creation?...

Dinosaurs Down Under May Help Explain Prehistoric Migrations

The remains of two gigantic dinosaurs discovered in Australia may shed light on how dinosaurs spread across the globe. The dinosaurs are both titanosaurs, massive plant-eaters with long necks and thick limbs. The first, a new species known as Savannasaurus elliottorum, was about half the length of a basketball court and lived about 95 million years ago during the Cretaceous period. Paleontologists also found the skull of a Diamantinasaurus matildae, which grew longer than a city bus and was first identified in 2009 based on fossils in the same region as these latest finds....
