Scientific claims about the origin of life are often complex—so how can you tell if they're right or wrong? Even if you're not an expert, there are tell-tale signs to identify scientific claims that are dubious. Are the scientists unbiased? Do they exclude possible explanations before the investigation even begins? Do the scientists make assumptions? Are the claims being made reasonable or exaggerated? It turns out origin of life research regularly makes all these mistakes. Read More ›

We’re often told that origin of life experiments have simulated the production of life’s building blocks under conditions that mimicked the early earth. Or at least that’s what many textbooks say. But is this really true? This is a teaser for a new video that will tackle one particular challenge to evolving life from chemicals: the challenge of creating biopolymers. The video is an episode in the Long Story Short series on YouTube. Read More ›

But is this really true? This video shows how origin of life researchers “cheat” by using purified chemicals that don’t reproduce actual natural conditions. Read More ›

Darwinists often point to the whale fossil record as one of the best examples of an evolutionary transition. But is it? Charles Darwin wrote in The Origin of Species: “I can see no difficulty in a race of bears being rendered, by natural selection, more and more aquatic in their structure and habits, with larger and larger mouths, till a creature was produced as monstrous as a whale.” Bears turning into whales? Scientists today disagree, instead claiming that other land animals were the real precursors to today’s whales. Read More ›
