Mummified Trees Found in Arctic
December 18, 2010
Like Narnian children finding a zoo of lifeless stone statues in the White Witch’s wintry realm, scientists have come across frozen trees, leaves and seed pods deep in the Canadian arctic. “The dry, frigid site is now surrounded by glaciers and is completely treeless,” said National Geographic News. What deep magic left this mummified forest […]
Loopy Cosmology Goes Abstract
December 17, 2010
A physicist from Warsaw standing by a Picasso painting finds convergence with his thinking about the origin of the universe. The caption on Science Daily reads, “The lines in the painting are fairly similar to graphs showing the evolution of quantum states of the gravitational field in loop quantum gravity.” The cosmologist is Prof. Jerzy […]
Plant Wonders Are in the Details
December 16, 2010
When you step on a weed growing out of a crack in the sidewalk, do you have any idea what kind of amazing machinery you stepped on? Maybe a closer look will help. Communications and switching systems: When a seed sprouts, it needs to first grow upward in the dark while trying to protect itself. […]
Evolutionists Endorse Sin
December 15, 2010
Crime pays in Darwinism, apparently. Some biologists find good in what most of us find evil. After all, in Darwinism, evil is only an illusion. Corruption: Victims of corruption may have a different outlook on what Science Daily told its readers: Francisco �beda, an evolutionary biology professor at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and Edgar […]
Design Science Scores
December 15, 2010
A team of scientists at Leeds University (UK) led by well-known design scientist Andy McIntosh has won an award for innovative design inspired by nature. “The team’s work has received the outstanding contribution to innovation and technology title at the Times Higher Education awards in London,” reported the BBC News. By studying and […]
Plenty of Time for Evolution?
December 14, 2010
A mathematician and a biologist have calculated that there’s “plenty of time for evolution.” Why? Evolution has a spy: natural selection. Darwin’s spy vastly decreases the amount of time that “doubters” have argued it would take to create a complex organism like a butterfly. Will their argument fly? The short paper by Herbert […]
Strange Beasts Walked the Earth
December 13, 2010
Narnia is a fantasy world of talking beasts and chimeric monsters, as seen in the release of Voyage of the Dawn Treader, the third movie in the series, great for an adventurous escape to a different world (see Narnia.com). While fauns and minotaurs may be mythical, some of the extinct beasts found as fossils in […]
Sunday Potluck
December 12, 2010
Here’s a list of quick headlines with minimal comment for mental snacking. Then it will be time to clear the kitchen for another week of more deep-fried reporting. Magician fools scientists: Skeptic/magician James Randi tricked a group of scientists, then warned them to doubt their own infallibility (except when it comes to atheism); see Live […]
Best Qualified Candidate Expelled Over Views on Evolution, Design
December 11, 2010
For daring to question evolution, an astronomer who was the best qualified candidate to become director of a new observatory lost out. “No one denies that astronomer Martin Gaskell was the leading candidate for the founding director of a new observatory at the University of Kentucky in 2007 – until his writings on evolution came […]
Latest Animal Winners in the Inspiration Contest
December 10, 2010
Scientists want to copy animal skills. The new science of biomimetics is on a roll (11/30/2010), looking to living things for design inspiration. Here are a few of the latest organisms giving inventors and engineers goose bumps. Bird gloss: Ravens have what scientists at the University of Akron in Ohio want: glossy materials. Nevermore shall […]
SETI Ignorance Gets Stronger
December 9, 2010
“Science is not about blind faith” begins a video posted on MSNBC about SETI. Part of an article by AP reporter Seth Borenstein, “Evidence for E.T. is mounting daily, but not proven,” the video explains Frank Drake’s famous equation that tries to quantify the probability for extraterrestrial intelligence (09/29/2010, 11/24/2008). Though Drake confidently asserts the […]
Are You Too Clean?
December 8, 2010
You shower, you put on clean clothes, you wash your hands with antibacterial soap, you keep the house spic and span, you work in a clean office – and you set yourself up for disease and depression. That’s what some scientists are proposing with the “hygiene hypothesis.” By depriving yourself of access to your bacterial […]
News from Saturn
December 7, 2010
Amazing discoveries continue to pour in from Cassini, now within its second extended mission since arriving at Saturn in 2004. The spacecraft is back to nominal operations after a 3-week safing event caused by a single-bit error in the onboard computer (JPL). The recovery came just in time for another major flyby of Enceladus. Enceladus […]
News on the Mind
December 6, 2010
Here are a dozen recent stories dealing with brains, the mind, perception, motivation and other aspects of psychology and neuroscience. Nature and nurture: PhysOrg claims that scientists at SMU have resolved the nature vs nurture debate with a hybrid approach. Whether it satisfies critics remains to be seen. Perhaps they are still thinking inside the […]
Lean to the Left: Science Reporters Oblivious to Conservatism
December 5, 2010
Take any issue, and there will often be a liberal view and a conservative view. Why is it, then, that science reporting is almost always liberal? It’s not just that left-leaning slants on science issues predominate; the reporters and institutions often seem utterly oblivious to the idea that other positions, like conservative views, even exist. […]

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.
