2024 in Review

Thanks to readers and supporters of
Creation-Evolution Headlines in 2024.
Here is a review of this year’s posts.

 

— Here’s a wrap on Year 2024, our 24th year of online science news reporting —

This year we published 260 articles, about one per weekday.

Sources

Our original material evaluates news from leading scientific journals, including Nature, Science, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), Current Biology, journals of the Royal Society, journals of the American Geophysical Union, Journal of the Geological Society, Icarus, and open-access journals like the Public Library of Science (PLoS), iScience, the bioRxiv preprint server, Nature Communications, Science Advances, and more.

We also evaluate press releases from numerous universities and labs around the world, and news from amalgamator services and science magazines like Science Daily, Phys.org, Medical Xpress, Live Science, New Scientist, The Scientist, The Conversation, BBC News, Space.com, Universe Today, Associated Press, and wherever else headline news is found concerning creation or evolution. CEH is often the first among creation ministries to put out the news, sometimes on the day of publication.

Our website is renowned for colorful graphics. Articles have been enhanced by original cartoons and artwork by Brett Miller and J. Beverly Greene. Nature photography on the headers and banners is by Editor David Coppedge. In 2025, we may avail ourselves of some AI artwork (examples from Dec. 23, the thumbnail above, the Darwin image below and ending graphic at bottom).

Authors

Our writers included Dr Jerry Bergman (48), Dr James O. Smith (2), and founder/editor David Coppedge (202). Articles by all our contributing authors can be found under the Features tab, Author Profiles. We also posted links to 8 new films from Illustra Media.

In 2024 we re-published articles from our Archives that had become inaccessible after website upgrades. These archive entries usually appeared on Fridays or Saturdays.

In 2024 we also began linking to articles by David Coppedge written for other ministries, such as Evolution News, CMI, and ICR (6 instances). This will continue in 2025.

Winners

We have two awards called “Dumb” and “Amazing” for particular articles that we feel deserve them. There were 64 Amazing winners, and 57 we considered just plain Dumb. You’ll have fun browsing through these entries. Although it’s hard to choose, here are what the Editor considers the top finalists in these categories for each month. Readers are free to pick their own winners.

 

True Life Stories

Below were the winners of Scientist of the Month for 2024. These biographies are worth re-reading. Young people and students will gain tremendous inspiration from their life stories. Some of these scientists rose from poverty, or did science as a hobby, but changed the world for good. Some made epochal discoveries in relatively short lives. All of them loved the Creator of the earth and life, and most were diligent students of the Bible.

Note: At ICR’s Solar Eclipse event in April 2024, a home school mother came up after a presentation by David Coppedge and commended us for how inspirational our biographies have been for her children’s education.

Our History and Purpose

The material on this website began in August 2000, when editor David F. Coppedge felt a need to “get the word out” about scientific discoveries he was hearing through his work at NASA that were important to the study of origins. What started as a small page of brief announcements has grown into a leading source of information for those interested in the big questions: Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I here? Where am I going?

The mainstream media always give the Darwinian, evolutionary, materialist slant on science. CEH provides “equal time” for looking at the same evidence without Darwin glasses on. We show that claims of scientific naturalism evaporate on closer inspection. They are guilty of logical fallacies and propaganda tactics, as our Baloney Detector illustrates. While we love true science and honor all scientists who do solid empirical work, we oppose the leftist/globalist Big Science Cartel that censors Darwin skeptics and pushes anti-theistic dogmas and leftist positions (e.g., abortion, climate alarmism, racism, and communism).

Whenever you read news that seems to support evolution, come here for a different perspective. Most of all, learn from our examples how to dissect claims with critical thinking skills, and teach these to skills to the next generation.

Keep Connected

Follow our feed on X @crevinfo, where we announce the latest articles. And get our Newsletter each Sunday afternoon that recaps the previous week’s news with links to the articles. If you like what you find here, we hope you will support us with prayers, feedback, and if possible, financial support. We keep our costs low and don’t beg for money like many organizations do this time of year, but what we receive helps pay the expenses. Your comments also let us know we are having an impact. Thank you, and Happy News Year in 2025!
