Tipping Point for Embryonic Stem Cells?
February 13, 2011
At any time, courts could rule on whether funding of embryonic stem cell research can continue or must be halted. Whichever way a decision is rendered, whether by Judge Lamberth on the legality of the NIH guidelines, or by the Court of Appeals for DC, the issue will probably wind up before the Supreme Court. […]
Chernobyl Mutation Experiment Fails to Support Darwinism
February 12, 2011
Under mutational load, you don’t get a choice of “Evolve or Perish”; just the latter.
This Is Your Brain on Bytes
February 11, 2011
It’s mind-boggling time. Some recent articles have tried to quantify the information capacity of the eye, the brain, and the world. Ready? Think hard. Eye boggle: Your eyes contain about 120 million rods and 6 million cones each. If each receptor represents a pixel, that is 2 x 126 million pixels, or 252 megapixels. And […]
Evolution Running Backwards
February 10, 2011
For Darwin’s doctrine of universal common ancestry to be demonstrably true, there must have been a common ancestor of insects and humans. That base of the family tree has just been discredited, leaving a gap in this important junction of Darwin’s tree of life. For decades, evolutionists have taught that acoelomorphs, a kind […]
How Bacteria Use Their Flagella
February 9, 2011
Do an imaginary mind-meld with a bacterium for a moment. Visualize yourself encased in a membrane, surrounded by fluid. You have no eyes, ears, or hands. You need to find where food is, and avoid danger, so you have organelles that can take in molecules that provide information about what is going on outside, where […]
Bizarre Fossils Raise Questions
February 8, 2011
For decades, students have been taught that the fossil record shows a long, slow, gradual progression of increasing complexity over millions of years. Scientific data are usually not so simple. Surprising youth in old fossil: When you see the word unexpected in a headline, expect the unexpected. “Unexpected exoskeleton remnants found in Paleozoic fossils,” reported […]
Extreme Biomimetics
February 7, 2011
Imitating spider silk or gecko feet is one thing, but some researchers are going to extremes to try to do what living organisms do. DNA railcar: Researchers at University of Oxford have constructed a “programable [sic] molecular transport system” that travels like a railcar on DNA molecules, reported PhysOrg. And that’s not all: they would […]
Shrinking Brains Prove Human Evolution
February 6, 2011
Ever since Darwin, brain size has been the measure of human nature (e.g., 03/27/2007, 05/27/2009). Except for some anomalies with Neanderthal and Cro-magnon skull sizes, the iconic march of human evolution showed growing upright posture accompanied by increasing brain size (example on Daily Mail), and brain size was used to discriminate between races on the […]
Intelligence as a Cosmic Reality
February 6, 2011
The “I” in SETI takes “Intelligence” seriously. It requires that intelligence is a recognizable, quantifiable property of nature. The origin of intelligence is a question that separates theists from materialists – whether it is a fundamental or emergent property. Before engaging that question, it might be instructive to see how scientists who are not necessarily […]
Fossils by Faith
February 4, 2011
Fossils are real artifacts you can hold in your hand. The stories behind them are not. How does science connect the one with the other? Sometimes, it requires faith in incredible stories. Stay, sis: Darwin portrayed a world in flux, with natural selection continually sifting and amplifying minute changes over time. Why, then did Science […]
Martian Chronicles
February 3, 2011
Recent news stories about Mars can be categorized into past, present, and future. Mars past: How Mars formed is a convoluted story. That is evident from a report on PhysOrg that might suggest Mars modelers are drinking too much to relieve stress: “‘Marstinis’ could help explain why the red planet is so small.” Mars seems […]
Planets a-Plenty, but Are They Lively?
February 2, 2011
The Kepler spacecraft has found over 1,235 planets so far (Space.com), 54 in their star’s habitable zone, and some Earth-size or smaller. Science media are having a field day reporting the discoveries, portraying them with artist imaginations, licking their chops at the possibility of life in outer space. What does this mean? Space.com […]
Metaphors of Evolution
February 1, 2011
If Will Rogers never met a man he didn’t like, science never metaphor it didn’t force. The history of science is replete with examples of metaphors not only trying to explain phenomena, but actually driving scientific research. Many times thoughtless metaphors have said more about current social values than science. So argued Mary […]
Evolutionary Magic
January 31, 2011
What do evolutionists do when data bring surprises to their claims? They find new ways for evolution to work magic. See if these stories illustrate that or not. Plant-animal partnership: One could hardly find two groups of organisms more disparate than plants and animals, but an article on PhysOrg claims that both groups hit on […]
Dinosaur Bones Crack Open Surprises: Original Tissue
January 30, 2011
Nature is kind. That’s nice to know; but what was the context of the statement in New Scientist? “Occasionally, though, nature is kind and fossilisation preserves details of an animal’s soft tissue.” But has nature been kind for tens of millions of years? In an article called “Soft-centred fossils reveal dinosaurs’ true colours,” Jeff Hecht […]

David Coppedge, B.S. Education, B.S. Physics, founded Creation-Evolution Headlines in late 2000 as a way to share science news he was encountering at NASA. It has grown into a highly-trusted source of news and commentary critical of the pro-Darwin consensus, providing analysis of breaking news of interest to creationists and evolutionists, without the Darwin spin. He has authored over 7,000 entries at CEH since its inception.
