As far as we know, the blue whale is the largest animal that has ever existed. Every statistic that we find about these giants is overwhelming.

It is almost like a religious catechism to state that apes and humans share a common ancestor from which they have both evolved.

For generations cave guides have been telling cave visitors that the stalagmites and stalactites that they see around them grow at incredibly low rates. The figure that is usually given is one inch per century for stalactites (they are the ones that hang down). Now a group of scientists who believe in young Earth creationism has studied the chemistry of stalagmite and stalactite formation in actual cave conditions. They discovered that there are many variables in the growth of these formations.

Most mammals in Australia are marsupials. That is one of the things that makes Australia so special to those of us elsewhere in the world who may never have been there.Yet, there is one placental mammal that is associated with Australia, as a typical wild animal. That is the wild dog known as the dingo.
