We have Signature in the Cell, and I've just skimmed through it, but Ferb has read it, and he seems to like it. I think I might read it before little one is school age. We plan on homeschooling, but I've thought of presenting challenges to her belief in Jehovah so that she can do research and overcome those challenges. I plan on mainly directing her to the index and the publications, but books like that might be used for additional research to show that not all scientists necessarily believe in the prevailing narrative on evolution.

Episode 12 dropped:
The MYTH of Junk DNA

(Long Story Short, Ep. 12)

Is the idea of junk DNA this one of the biggest mistakes in science in our lifetime? Only about 1% of our DNA codes for proteins, so what is the other 99% doing? Many evolutionary scientists over the years insisted that the non-protein coding DNA is largely junk, but intelligent design theorists predicted function will be prevalent throughout our genome. Guess which prediction turned out to be right?
Learn how scientists have discovered that the vast majority of our genome has function in this installment of the "Codes of Life" mini-series produced as part of the "Long Story Short" show on YouTube.

Origin of Life: Recycling and Repair (Long Story Short, Episode 13)

We know that DNA contains information that is vital for life, but our DNA is constantly assaulted by chemical and physical processes, degrading its information content-threatening the ongoing existence of life.
How do our cells prevent information degradation in our DNA? This video reviews the highly complex error-correction mechanisms in cells that help maintain the information in our DNA so life can survive.
These complex mechanisms would be required for the first life to exist-posing yet another challenge to the chemical origin of life.

This is the eighth of several episodes about the origin of life presented as part of the Long Story Short series. If you enjoyed this one, you will like all the others.

Oldest trilobite fossils found in volcanic ash open new palaeontology frontier
ABC New England / By Peter Sanders
Posted 3h ago


The palaeontology world has been flipped on its head after trilobite fossils dating back 509 million years were found perfectly preserved by volcanic ash in Morocco...

 

Not only are they the oldest known trilobite fossils, but they are the most well-preserved, giving palaeontologists their first glimpse of trilobite anatomy.

 

University of New England palaeontologist and investigation co-lead, Professor John Paterson, said it went against everything he was taught.

Episode 14 dropped:

The Codes of Life: ERVs, Pseudogenes, and Onions

 

The latest episode of the popular Long Story Short animated video series explores common “junk DNA” arguments from evolutionary scientists and shows that they not only contradict the evidence — they’re stopping scientific progress. Where do onions fit in? Come see.

Breaking: New Study Shatters the 1 Percent Human-Chimp Difference Myth

Andrew McDiarmid

May 23, 2025, 1:48 PM

 

Scientists originally studied the chimp genome, they used the human genome as a template. This scaffolding technique gave birth to the popular claim that chimp and human genomes are only 1 percent different. But new research has now blown the 1 percent myth out of the water. On a new episode of ID the Future, geologist Dr. Casey Luskin speaks with host Dr. Emily Reeves about this explosive new finding and what it means for the debate over evolution.

Letter to the Smithsonian:

Correct Your Signage on Human-Chimp Genetic Similarity!

Casey Luskin

May 27, 2025, 1:32 PM

 

Editor’s note: Dr. Casey Luskin broke the bombshell story last week that, according to data in a new paper in the journal Nature, the human and chimpanzee genomes are not a mere 1 percent different, as you so often hear from science media and science educators, but more like 15 percent different. What we’ve called at Evolution News the “1 percent myth” (see the series here) is thus an icon of evolution that has dramatically tumbled. The story had to be “broken” by us because the editors at Nature had chosen to bury the relevant information (why?) under mounds of arcane technical jargon in the paper’s Supplemental Data section. Unfortunately, the 1 percent myth is promulgated as fact at, among other places, the nation’s own Smithsonian Institution. Dr. Luskin today sent this letter to three influential people at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History — Dr. Kirk Johnson (Sant Director, National Museum of Natural History), Dr. Lonnie G. Bunch II (Secretary, Smithsonian Institution), and Kate Forester (Deputy Chief of Staff to the Smithsonian Board of Regents) — complete with photos of the relevant signage.
