Butterfly Wings Xeroxed
September 6, 2008
If you can’t build it, copy it. Scientists have had a hard time reconstructing the photonic crystals that make butterfly wings shimmer with light (01/29/2003), so they made, in effect, a carbon copy. PhysOrg described how scientists at Penn State made impressions of the regularly-spaced geometric shapes from a butterfly wing and transferred it to […]
How Not to Prove Positive Selection
September 5, 2008
Erase all that evidence for positive natural selection in the genes you’ve read about.
Spore Game: Evolution or ID?
September 4, 2008
Spore is a highly-anticipated computer game that just came out. Evolutionists are claiming it as a model of how life evolves – but intelligent-design advocates are calling it an ID game, pure and simple. Who’s right? Carl Zimmer, a science writer, is among those counting Spore points for Darwin. His blog entry from […]
Fully Gecko 40 Million Years Earlier?
September 3, 2008
Amber, or fossilized tree sap, usually contains remnants of insect parts. One piece, mined in the jungles of Myanmar, contained the foot of a gecko – alleged to be 100 million years old. That’s 40 million years older than the previously claimed oldest gecko fossil. This critter may have skittered under the feet of dinosaurs. […]
Cellular Machines Work Like Cameras, Winches and Turboprops
September 3, 2008
The discovery that cells are filled with molecular motors is one of the major achievements of late 20th-century molecular biology. Biochemists routinely use the word “motor” when describing cellular processes, because, in fact, machines made of protein actually do use energy to perform work. Now we have a new hybrid science – biophysics – that […]
Amazonia Supported a Cosmopolitan Civilization
September 2, 2008
Today’s naked, spear-hunting tribes in the jungles of the Amazon live in the shadow of a complex society that once thrived there. By increasing their scope from the single site to the wider region, archaeologists from Florida and Brazil have discovered a cosmopolitan culture that left large earthworks and evidence of complex urban societies. Their […]
Vice Presidential Candidates: You Have a Choice
September 1, 2008
When it comes to feelings about creation vs evolution between the American vice-presidential candidates, voters will have a clear choice. Reporters are digging for information on the surprise Republican nominee, Alaska governor Sarah Palin. Answers in Genesis collected statements from the press about her position on the teaching of evolution in public schools. […]
Plant Perfume Manipulates Pollinator Behavior
August 31, 2008
You’re a plant, stuck in the ground. Around you are organisms with wings flitting freely about. You need to get them to land on your flowers, but not linger too long. How do you do it? Attract them with sweet smells, but send them away with a bitter aftertaste. That’s how the tobacco plant manipulates […]
Describing Star and Galaxy Growth Without Looking
August 30, 2008
Astronomers seem to know a lot about star birth and galaxy growth. This is a strange thing, since no one has watched the process from start to finish. Stars and galaxies are clearly observed in various shapes, sizes, and patterns. How reliable is it to arrange them into an evolutionary sequence? One way […]
Dark Matters, When All You Have Is Light
August 30, 2008
A cluster of galaxies equivalent to a thousand Milky Ways was observed at a distance of 7.7 billion light-years. What does it mean? According to astronomers mentioned in an article on Space.com, it can only mean one thing: dark energy makes up 70% of the universe. “The existence of the cluster can only […]
Can Evolution Survive Without Darwin?
August 29, 2008
Charles Darwin and the theory of evolution seem synonymous. Nevertheless, many evolutionary biologists have pointed out that a lot has happened in evolutionary biology since Darwin died. Some even criticize creationists for using the term “Darwinism” for evolution, though often it is just as much the habit of evolutionists (example: Genome Research: “Genomics and Darwinism”). […]
Angry Atheists Arrogate Authority in Science
August 28, 2008
Can science contribute to religious studies? Only to destroy it, think some atheistic scientists. “In reality, the only contribution that science can make to the ideas of religion is atheism,” announced Matthew Cobb and Jerry Coyne in a letter to Nature.1 Cobb and Coyne were taking issue with Nature’s editorial July 17 about […]
Evolutionist Calls Everyone Crazy
August 27, 2008
Last month she called everyone a hypocrite (07/06/2008). This month, Robin Nixon of Live Science called everyone crazy. Her latest article is entitled, “Why We Are All Insane.” But then, how could we trust her explanation? Attributing everything about humanity to a blind process of evolution, Nixon wove a tale of mythical ancestors […]
Neanderthals Win Toolmaking Olympics
August 26, 2008
Scientists have taken another step toward debunking the myth of the “stupid Neanderthals” who went extinct when competing with their supposedly advanced neighbors, the “modern humans.” Science Daily is one of several news sites reporting a study on toolmaking by the two groups of humans, that concluded that “stone tool technologies developed by our species, […]
Use Your Cow Compass
August 25, 2008
Cattle and deer seem to align themselves to magnetic north. German and Czech scientists, reporting in PNAS,1 used aerial observations to detect the tendency of grazing herds to line up in north-south directions. The alignment was to magnetic north, not true north—indicating a sensitivity to earth’s magnetic field, as known to exist in migrating birds, […]

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.
