A few sample quotations, illustrating the full spectrum of evidence too often censored from the average biology student:

Dr Werner Gitt, In the Beginning Was Information, CLV, Bielefeld, Germany, p. 107, 1997.
"…there is no known law of nature, no known process and no known sequence of events which can cause information to originate by itself in matter." 

Dr Lee Spetner (Professor of Biophysics at Johns Hopkins University) and author of, Not By Chance, The Judaica Press, Inc., Brooklyn, New York, p.138, 1997.
"All point mutations that have been studied on the molecular level turn out to reduce the genetic information and not to increase it."

 p.159-160  "Not even one mutation has been observed that adds a little information to the genome. That surely shows that there are not the millions upon millions of potential mutations the theory demands. There may well not be any. The failure to observe even one mutation that adds information is more than just a failure to find support for the theory. It is evidence against the theory. We have here a serious challenge to neo-Darwinian theory."

Francisco J. Ayala, The Mechanisms of Evolution, Scientific American, p. 65, Sept. 1978.
"Insect resistance to a pesticide was first reported in 1947 for the Housefly (Musca domestica) with respect to DDT.  Since then resistance to one or more pesticides has been reported in at least 225 species of insects and other arthropods. The genetic variants required for resistance to the most diverse kinds of pesticides were apparently [already] present in every one of the populations exposed to these man-made compounds."  [Emphasis added]

(Hundreds of PhD scientists & their writings, DVD's, etc. support biblical creation as consistent with the scientific evidence.)

More "biological" scientists who have been convinced by the evidence that biblical creationism is truth
 More "physical" scientists who also stand strong for the truth of God's Word

Philip J Currie & Eva B Koppelhus, 101 Questions about Dinosaurs, Dover Publications, 1996, pp. 11, 12.
‘. . . Modern bones that fall into mineral springs can become permineralized [fossilized] within a matter of weeks. 

‘Bones do not have to be “turned into stone” to be fossils, and usually most of the original bone is still present in a dinosaur fossil.  ‘A more spectacular example was found on the North Slope of Alaska, where many thousands of bones lack any significant degree of permineralization. The bones look and feel like old cow bones, and the discoverers of the site did not report it for twenty years because they assumed they were bison, not dinosaur, bones.’

 Mary Schweitzer & Tracy Staedter, ‘The Real Jurassic Park,’ Earth, June 1997, pp. 55–57.
‘A thin slice of T. rex bone glowed amber beneath the lens of my microscope. Blood vessel channels snaked through a bone matrix, and tiny chambers known as lacunae, which house bone-forming cells, appeared as small ovals.… The lab filled with murmurs of amazement, for I had focused on something inside the vessels that none of us had ever noticed before: tiny round objects, translucent red with a dark center….  ‘Then a colleague took one look at them and shouted, “You’ve got red blood cells. You’ve got red blood cells!”
