Just as the baker uses yeasts to transform hard, flat dough into new bursting life in bread and beverages, the Creator makes new living creatures in Christ.
The molecular complexities of staphylococci mechanisms indicate the signature of a divine Designer who has placed his signature on his art piece, staphylococci.
Tick-borne diseases like Lyme disease have plagued humans for millennia. Did God make them that way, and what do they teach us about a fallen creation?
A creation perspective on why God allows emerging and reemerging diseases like COVID-19 and Lyme Disease that cause emotional, financial, and health problems.
The immune system serves more than just to “defend” against disease – it was designed to interact with microbes and to cleanse the body.
How our immune system protects us from deadly pathogens and parasites through antibodies to demonstrate how we’re fearfully and wonderfully made.
The emphasis of this article is to explain some of the “very good” design and purpose of Staphylococci and other good, beneficial bacteria of the nose.
If everything that God made was good, where did disease-causing mosquitoes come from? What is the origin of mosquito-borne diseases?
Is Community-associated (CA)-MRSA “evolution in action”? Microbiology research based on creation provides some answers to its emerging dominance in the USA.
Putrefying meat with its disagreeable appearance and foul odor is disgusting, but realize the vital importance of the rotting process.
The scientific community was shocked in the late 1970s by the discovery of an entirely new group of organisms—the Archaea.
Pasteur and Lister had provided evidence that bacteria caused disease, but couldn't provide the conclusive evidence needed to prove the developing theory.
In a pure culture growing in a liquid medium, we find that the development and decline of bacterial populations follow a definite, predictable course.
The basic elements of bacterial anatomy include (1) the cell wall and (2) the inner cell body, or cytoplasm.
Bacteria are prokaryotes and among the most abundant organisms on earth. The vast majority play a positive role in nature.
Antibiotic resistance is one of the most important topics that a beginning biology student going into medicine should learn and understand.
Another example of design which can be seen in the microbial world is the production of a blood-red pigment made by Serratia marcescens.
There are many extraordinary examples of design in the microbial world. In this chapter, two examples are given.
This book will describe designed structures and purposeful functions in microorganisms, explain the origin of disease, and showcase Bible-believing scientists.
Fleas are considered a nuisance. How can they be explained as a part of God’s very good creation?
Microbes live in a mutualistic relationship with the human body, make up the human microbiome, and play a role in our health by modulating the immune system.
There were no pathogens, parasites, or disease prior the Fall and subsequent Curse, so the immune system may have functioned differently in that world.
The objectives of this article are to explain the mysterious appearance of crimson-colored bacteria on food and communion bread/wafers, over the centuries, as well as to describe the biological basis
Even though some strains are pathogenic, most E. coli strains still show evidence of being one of God’s “very good” creations.
Answers in Genesis is an apologetics ministry, dedicated to helping Christians defend their faith and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ.
