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 […]
Stem Cells of the Adult Kind Steal the Headlines
November 18, 2010
Stories about stem cell research need to be divided into two sections: those about adult stem cells (AS), which have no ethical ramifications, and stories about embryonic stem cells (ES), which raise many issues about the sanctity of human life. As usual, most of the actual clinical progress is being made with adult stem cells […]
Dinosaur Fossils Flaunt Physics
November 17, 2010
Recent announcements about dinosaurs show that even the large ones exhibited physics fitness. Their size did not inhibit their mobility. T. rex racer: Maybe Jurassic Park got it right after all. According to Science Daily, “Tyrannosaurus rex was far from a plodding Cretaceous era scavenger whose long tail only served to counterbalance the up-front weight […]
Maxwells ID Demon Converts Info to Energy
November 16, 2010
Information can be converted into energy – provided it is guided by intelligent design. That’s what researchers demonstrated with an experimental setup of “Maxwell’s Demon,” a famous thought experiment about how to overcome the Second Law of Thermodynamics. James Clerk Maxwell knew that the laws of thermodynamics did not allow the spontaneous separation […]
Plasma May Revamp Cosmology
November 15, 2010
A “diverse new field” of astrophysics is poised to revolutionize our understanding of stars, energetic galaxies, and perhaps the entire universe. The properties and interactions of plasma, that hot, electrically-charged gas that makes up the sun and stars, have not been considered as often as matter and light have in astronomy. A set of top […]
Evolutionists Try to Out-Complex Behe
November 14, 2010
The phrase irreducible complexity has reluctantly entered the working vocabulary of evolutionary biologists, though they usually disparage its source (Dr. Michael Behe, leading proponent of intelligent design). The latest evidence is a paper in Science that was titled with an obvious play on words and an attempt to refute Behe’s principle. They called it “irremediable […]
SETI Reinvades Oz
November 13, 2010
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first SETI search, astronomers from around the world are going to tune into the stars, listening for aliens. Frank Drake named his first attempt in 1960 after the land of Oz: Project Ozma. Today’s searchers, looking at promising candidates with much better resolution, are once again paying tribute […]
A Tale of Two Mavericks
November 12, 2010
Two men who recently died are now being honored for their willingness to have stood up to the majority and advanced views that were unpopular at the time.
Darwin Dethroned by Geologist
November 11, 2010
Gradual evolution seems synonymous with Charles Darwin, but a geologist at New York University disagrees. According to an article on PhysOrg, Michael Rampino thinks Patrick Matthew deserves the credit for a different, more realistic view of evolution – a catastrophist view: “Matthew discovered and clearly stated the idea of natural selection, applied it to the […]
Evolutionary Explanations Come Up Empty
November 10, 2010
When evolutionists claim that they have explained the evolution of this or that, or that their research sheds light on its evolution, a closer examination sometimes shows verbiage covering up hollow reasoning, or even employing intelligent design concepts as weapons against design. Snap goes the dragon: PhysOrg highlighted a research project by some UK biologists […]

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.
