Global flood
The global flood or flood of Noah is an event recorded in ancient histories in various forms across cultures worldwide. The entire world was covered with water as divine punishment, and only a small number of humans and animals survived. The account in Genesis is the best known and the most detailed account, but the same events are described in the Islamic Qur'an, the Book of Jubilees, and the Book of Enoch. Direct references occur in the Critias and Timaeus of Plato, and the ancient Babylonian Epic of Gilgamesh.

Anticreation
A recent Newsweek poll found that about 91% of the population in the United States believes in God, and 48% believe that God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years. Despite these high numbers, we find the views of creationists are mocked by the media and actively discriminated against in public schools. A number of organizations and even the National Academy of Sciences (a US national government agency) actively opposes creationism and lobbies to keep these views from being taught in public schools. Most, if not all, such groups are motivated by a philosophical opposition to biblical creationism, and counter with argument derived from naturalistic scientific research.

Artist's conception of an extrasolar planet
Some evolutionists assert that planetary and galaxy formation take millions of years. However, in 2004, the Spitzer Space Telescope detected a clearing of dust around a star that is "only" a million years old. They theorize that the object that cleared the dust is a planet at least as large as Jupiter. This would be (by evolutionary standards) the youngest planet ever observed.
Bacterial flagellum
The flagellum is a molecular motor (nanomachine) used by microscopic organisms, such as bacteria and protozoans, to propel themselves through an aqueous medium. The bacterial flagellum is a helical filament that rotates like an outboard motor, while the eukaryote flagellum is a whip-like structure that lashes back and forth.
