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. […]
Cells Manage Stress and Death
December 4, 2010
Like soldiers in a foreign land, cells sometimes find themselves in unexpected situations. Key equipment breaks down, or the environment puts stress on their resources. Without the ability to adapt, they could perish – and in worst-case scenarios they must, like a squadron under ambush with no way out. In such cases, like spies carrying […]
Science Done by Humans Is Mushy
December 3, 2010
Discoveries in science must be mediated by flawed agents: human beings. Though the most hardened scientific realists maintain strong beliefs in external reality, the perceived reality is mediated by senses, then interpreted by minds that are not omniscient. Those are some of the reasons that science keeps changing, as illustrated by some recent examples: Endangered […]
NASA Finds Life on Earth; or,Arsenic and Old Lake
December 2, 2010
A NASA teaser about an announcement coming Dec 2 that will “will impact the search for evidence of extraterrestrial life” had watchers on edge. PhysOrg said, “Speculation that life has been discovered beyond Earth exploded on the Internet after NASA announced plans for a briefing involving scientists who study unusual life forms.” It wasn’t to […]
Speleology Without Evolution
December 1, 2010
“Steven Taylor, a macro-invertebrate biologist with the Illinois Natural History Survey at the University of Illinois, has spent more than two decades plumbing the mysteries of cave life,” an article said on PhysOrg, based on a press release from the University of Illinois. The article describes his adventures in tight, dark spots in numerous caves, […]
Biomimetics Is On a Roll
November 30, 2010
There’s a gold rush on: a rush to copy living technology. Scientists have found that plants, animals and cells have the solutions to problems that will help us all, if we will just study them, imitate them, or harness them. Jellyfish pumps: Need a flexible pump for medical use? Look no further than the aquarium […]
Mammals Partied When Dinosaurs Left
November 29, 2010
A research team headed by a biology professor at the University of New Mexico are claiming that mammals had a field day when the dinosaurs went extinct. They got bigger and more diverse, filling in the ecological wasteland left by the missing giant reptiles. Their analysis was published in Science.1 In addition, they […]
Can Astronomers See Behind the Big Bang?
November 28, 2010
An astonishing claim is being reported: “Cosmos may show echoes of events before Big Bang” (BBC News). How can this be, since secular cosmologists claim that the big bang was the beginning of time, space, matter, and everything, and it is impossible even in principle to go beyond it? The character behind the […]
Is Life More than Sewage?
November 27, 2010
Look at the sewer pipe accompanying an article on Science Daily. The article claims that a bacterium in the sewer water is a “missing link” in our evolution. How can this be? For a long time, evolutionists have tried to bridge the gap between bacteria, which lack a nucleus, and eukaryotes which have […]
How Long Does it Take to Form a Slot Canyon?
November 26, 2010
Some of the most striking features of the southwest are the slot canyons – the narrow, winding defiles in sandstone that can be well over a hundred feet deep and go for miles (photo). A whole culture of slot canyoneering takes on the challenge of hiking through them, and the amazing patterns of reflected light […]
Thank God or Science?
November 25, 2010
Americans are celebrating Thanksgiving today, a long-standing tradition going back to the earliest European settlers in North America, the Pilgrims. Up until recently, the tradition included giving thanks to God. Now, the trend is to thank one another. The NASA Director put out a thanksgiving message Wednesday basically thanking all the NASA employees for their […]
Even Your Trash Can Is High-Tech
November 24, 2010
Cells have the same problem as cities: disposing of trash. Each of your cells has elaborate trash collector machines that not only dispose of damaged or unneeded proteins – they recycle them, too. The structure of the proteasome, a fragile machine difficult to crystallize for imaging, has just become clearer thanks to researchers in Germany […]
Struggling to Make Evolutionary Sense
November 23, 2010
Evolutionists love to quote Dobzhansky, who said, “Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.” But when they go about explaining biological observations, the sense and light seem hard to come by. Biodiversity: The subject of the emergence of diverse forms of living things seems tailor made for a Darwinian explanation. Why, […]
Let the Birds Teach You
November 22, 2010
The ancient prophet Job said, “But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; And the birds of the air, and they will tell you” (Job 12:7). Maybe the birds of the air can tell us how to fly, and the beasts of the sea how to navigate. Some scientists are trying that without […]
Boggle Your Brain
November 19, 2010
A new animation of a trip through a brain shows mind-boggling complexity in more detail than ever before. The animation, posted by freelance journalist Elizabeth A. Moore on CNET News, represents years of work by Stanford University School of Medicine. Using green fluorescent protein in a mouse brain to light up synapses, and photographing the […]

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.
