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 […]
Clever Animals Amaze and Inspire
September 1, 2010
The living world is an endless source of wonder and inspiration. There’s an octopus that does a convincing imitation of a flatfish (Science Daily, Live Science), and a red crab species that emerges from its lethargic life around Christmas and migrates miles to the sea by the millions (PhysOrg). There’s a tiny frog that can […]
Exoplanet Hunters Fail Predictions
August 31, 2010
Before the first extrasolar planets were discovered, astronomers had high confidence that other solar systems would resemble ours. We have rocky planets close to the sun, and gas giants farther out. Planetary scientists were pretty sure the pattern would hold up around other stars. Now that we have hundreds of examples to compare, the reality […]
Atheist Doctors Might Kill You
August 30, 2010
Your doctor’s religious beliefs – or lack of them – might have a lot to do with how soon you exit this world when elderly or infirm. Science Daily reported, “Atheist or agnostic doctors are almost twice as willing to take decisions that they think will hasten the end of a very sick patient’s life […]
Intelligent Design as Entertainment
August 26, 2010
It’s been around a few months now, but OK Go’s music video of their song “This Too Shall Pass” featured an elaborate Rube Goldberg set. What many viewers may not know about the backstory of the production is that several JPL rocket scientists helped design and operate the contraptions that filled a good-size warehouse. […]
Who Invited the Scientist in Here?
August 25, 2010
If you envision science in terms of white-coated lab chemists holding flasks, field biologists gathering bird eggs, astronomers peering through a telescope or geologists chipping rocks with hand picks, think again. Today’s science sweeps everything into its domain, including the human mind, intellect, emotions, will, creativity, and our most sincere beliefs and actions. When not […]
Dinosaur Graveyards and Arctic Tortoises: Whos Got the Context?
August 24, 2010
Science articles often go beyond the data. A jumble of bones found on an island is boring; people want a story of what they were, and how they got that way. Many scientists and reporters are only happy to fulfill that curiosity. But are the stories they tell, usually presented as fact, the only way […]

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.
