No Consensus on Scientific Consensus
September 15, 2010
How much do you trust scientific experts? Most of the scientific experts expect us to trust them. They are appalled when lay people express doubts about matters the consensus of experts take for granted. Yet others tell us we should doubt. There seems to be no consensus about whether to trust the scientific consensus. […]
Did a Global Flood Move Rocks Across Continents? No, uh…
September 14, 2010
Paper View Sept 14, 2010 — Geologists were baffled. Something moved rocks up to 3,000 miles across whole continents. They found evidence in Asia and also in America. How on earth could that happen? Their list of explanations omitted one possibility: the transporting power of water. Maybe it’s because it would have implied a global […]
Archer Fish See Like People
September 13, 2010
An archer fish can spit out a man’s cigarette. That’s actually a humorous scene at the end of a video clip on The Scientist that talks about the amazing eyes of this underwater sharpshooter. New research shows that these freshwater fish, known for their ability to spit bugs off bushes, have a mammal-like ability to […]
Nerve Traffic Cop Identified
September 13, 2010
What makes signals go in one direction in neurons? It’s important, because a reflex signal from a bump on your knee needs to go in the direction of the controlling muscle and on to the brain, not any which way. Is there some kind of traffic cop that directs the placement of “one way” signs […]
Worlds Top Chemists Cant Match a Plant
September 12, 2010
There’s a race on: a race to get cheap energy from the sun. “The design and improvement of solar cells is one of the most vibrant areas of science,” said the BBC News, “in part because sunlight is far and away the planet’s most abundant renewable energy source.” Two recent articles show that top labs […]
Flying Fish Tested in Wind Tunnel: Match Bird Flight
September 11, 2010
Sometimes engineers investigate things biologists take for granted. Flying fish have been observed by countless sailors and cruise passengers, and have been described by life scientists. It took an engineer, however, to investigate these “unexpected fliers” in a wind tunnel. Surprisingly, though many have speculated about these creatures, “detailed measurement of wing performance associated with […]
Evolution Storytellers Unrepentant
September 10, 2010
Evolutionists have been criticized for telling “just-so stories”1 for decades and decades, even by other evolutionists (see 08/08/2010), yet the storytelling continues, as recent examples in the news media illustrate. Blame Mom: In its “Science News” category, Science Daily trumpeted the headline, “Acting Selfish? Blame Your Mother!” In the article, we are told, “The fact […]
Dino-Bird Link Confused by New Fossil
September 9, 2010
A “bizarre” new dinosaur fossil found in Spain with a hump on its back that resembles a fin also has quill knobs on its arms, interpreted as attachment points for feathers. For this reason, the BBC News announced that it “may” yield clues to the origin of birds.” It has been named Concavenator corcovatus and […]
Whats Flipping the Earths Magnetic Field?
September 8, 2010
Why has the earth’s magnetic field changed orientation in the past? How often does it happen? How long does it take? Such questions arise from a story reported by New Scientist that claims, “Second super-fast flip of Earth’s poles found.” This implies there was a first case – and that “super-fast” reversals are strange. […]
Children Propagandized Into Evolution with Fishy Tale
September 7, 2010
Google News also reported on the award. Richard Dawkins must be delighted with the new book. The Telegraph said, “Richard Dawkins, the atheist academic, has called on the Coalition to make evolutionary theory a compulsory part of the curriculum.” In June, the article said, he and 3 Nobel laureates wrote the Education Secretary, […]
Asteroid Pi
September 5, 2010
Asteroids are much more diverse than previously imagined. The Spitzer Space Telescope (now in its “warm” mission after the liquid coolant has dissipated) is targeting about 700 asteroids in a program called ExploreNEOs (Near-Earth Objects). NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope website reported results from the first hundred studied. The scientists found that near-Earth asteroids… …are a […]
Hierarchical Evolution Proposed
September 4, 2010
Science Daily gave good press to a Dutch grad student who proposed the “next step in evolution” – robots that pass on knowledge and experience without Darwinian natural selection. Gerard Jagers op Akkerhuis, according to the article, developed a complete and “consistent” system called an “operator hierarchy” that goes far beyond biological evolution; it even […]
Embryonic Stem Cell Researchers Reeling from Judges Decision
September 3, 2010
Political conservatives have often been stunned by lone judges overturning the will of the people. This time, liberals in support of embryonic stem cell research are reeling from the decision of a federal judge that halts funding of such research that was recently energized by the President. Federal Judge Royce Lamberth’s August 23 […]
Stephen Hawking His Atheism
September 2, 2010
Science reporters are creating sensationalist headlines about Stephen Hawking claiming there is no God. His new book has a title, The Grand Design, that sounds theistic but in fact claims that God is not necessary because our existence is a consequence of the law of gravity. The headlines like PhysOrg’s “God did not […]
Malthusian Maniac Killed Before Killing Hostages
September 2, 2010
James J. Lee took hostages today at the Discovery Channel headquarters in Maryland, but was killed by police before he harmed anyone (see New York Times). Lee, who authored a website called SaveThePlanetProtest.com, left a manifesto with a list of demands, calling humans “filth” and demanding the Discovery Channel inform viewers that humans were ruining […]

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.
