Embryology
Embryology is the branch of developmental biology that studies the beginning and early growth of sexually reproducing organisms. This life science specialty focuses primarily on embryogenesis (the formation and development of embryos). Since the time Charles Darwin published The Origin of Species, embryology has been used to support common descent. In fact, Darwin referred to embryological homology as the strongest single class of facts that existed to support his theories. A theory later put forth by Ernst Haeckel, known as the biogenetic law, asserted that the evolutionary history of an organism was recapped during embryo development. Although the biogenetic law is now discredited, in recent years, embryology has reemerged as a tool used by evolutionary biologists that attempt to establish phylogenetic relationships by identifying developmental similarities between taxonomic groups. Evolutionary developmental biology is a merging of developmental biology and evolutionary biology that is commonly known as "evo-devo".

James Ossuary
In October of 2002 the Biblical Archaeology Review announced the discovery of a 2,000-year-old box which might be the ossuary (“Bone Box”) of James, the brother of Jesus. On the side of the bone box is inscribed in Aramaic: “James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus”. As the inscription was the first historic record found of Jesus apart from manuscripts, its authentication could prove to be the most significant New Testament find in modern times. The ossuary has received much public scrutiny since its discovery and well publicized trial following an accusation of forgery by the Israel Antiquities Authority. However, with the collapse of the prosecution's case, it appears the trial will end in vindication for the defendants and those who have consistently supported the authenticity of the inscription.

Cosmic Chronology
Chronology is the study of time, or a record of events in the order of their occurrence (timeline). As a scientific endeavor, cosmic chronology is an attempt to determine the temporal sequence of events that occurred during the formation of the cosmos. Cosmic chronologists determine the dates of events (such as the Big Bang, the formation of stars, galaxies and planets), then arranges them in the order in which they occurred.
