Love Your Heart: Look at Nature
June 22, 2008
Heart patients can get instant relief from stress by simply looking out at nature through a window, reported Science Daily. It worked better if the patient looked at the real thing, not just a picture on TV. In a study funded by the National Science Foundation, scientists tested the heart rates of patients […]
Evolutionist Learns from Neo-Creationists
June 21, 2008
Neo-creationists: the Intelligent Design (ID) people as well as the active old creationists, are still to be despised and expelled, thinks an evolutionist. That doesn’t mean, though, that they aren’t making some good points. The evolutionist is Gordy Slack, a science writer from Oakland, California, who previously wrote a book about the Dover […]
Hopes Die for Enceladus Longevity
June 19, 2008
Ever since Enceladus, the little 300-mile-across moon of Saturn was found in 2005 to be erupting out its south pole, scientists have tried to explain how it could be possible. They have looked high and low for an energy source to power the geysers of the little moon dubbed “Cold Faithful” for billions of years. […]
Long Live the Seed
June 18, 2008
A seed buried under the rubble of Herod the Great’s fortress took root and is now growing into a palm tree. Science Now reported this as verification of claims that ancient seeds can still grow. See also the National Geographic News report that added this record beats out the previous verifiable claim of ancient seed […]
Human Face Book Is Customized
June 17, 2008
Make a face. How do you make a face? We are all made with faces that can make unique facial expressions, thanks to unique combinations of subcutaneous muscles. Nature News said that humans have unique faceprints of 16 common expression-making muscles. We all have the same 5 subcutaneous muscles that can make us […]
Big Dino Site Found in Utah
June 17, 2008
A big dinosaur fossil quarry has been found in Utah near Hanksville, reported the Associated Press (see copy on PhysOrg). The Bureau of Land Management says it may be comparable to the Dinosaur National Monument site and other well-known quarries in the region. Apparently feeling a need to appeal to the MTV generation, a National […]
Magic Box in the Cell Baffles the Experts
June 16, 2008
Put a string of amino acids into this magic box, and it comes out all precisely folded into a protein. How does it do it? A molecular machine described by Science Daily has scientists baffled. Ironically, its name is TRiC. TRiC is a chaperonin, a member of a class of molecular machines that […]
Worlds Fastest Computer Approaches Brain Power
June 13, 2008
IBM has broken the petaflops barrier. What’s that, you ask? In computing lingo, it stands for a quadrillion floating-point operations per second. The new Roadrunner supercomputer at Los Alamos National Laboratory has set a new record for computing speed that may usher in a new era of scientific analysis of complex systems: “Roadrunner gives scientists […]
Divining the CMB
June 12, 2008
What do you see in this pattern? Look very closely. The Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) is a faint glow of electromagnetic radiation that pervades the universe. What it means is a matter of intense and sometimes bizarre speculation by cosmologists. The spectrum of the CMB matches almost perfectly that of an ideal radiator, […]
Few Typos Get Past Your Spell Checker
June 11, 2008
Inside your cells are thousands of spell checkers that put any human typist to shame. In a process critical to all living things, RNA Polymerase II transcribes DNA into RNA rapidly with high fidelity. Even very similar chemical letters are accurately discriminated by this wonder of a molecular machine that is described in Science Daily. […]
Darwinism Demonstrated in the Lab
June 10, 2008
Lenski’s done it. The champion of Avida, a computerized evolution demo (see Evolution News) has demonstrated Darwinian evolution with real live organisms. His achievement announces his inauguration into the prestigious National Academy of Sciences.1 Lenski and team ran one of the longest-running evolution experiments ever with E. coli bacteria. After more than 30,000 […]
The Andes: Pop-Up Mountains
June 10, 2008
The majestic Andes of South America did not rise smoothly and gradually, a team of geologists reported in Science.1 Instead, long periods of stasis for tens of millions of years were punctuated by rapid periods of uplift. It sounds as if punctuated equilibria theory has been stolen from evolutionary biology and applied to geology. They […]
Evolutions Tinkerer Creates the Brain that Creates Evolutionary Theory
June 9, 2008
A tinkerer usually implies a human being with a brain. A man in his garage, for instance, might look around for spare parts to arrange into some new contraption. What would he think if he were told that his own brain was made that way? That’s what evolutionists commonly teach: our bodies and our brains […]
Will Evolutionary Psychology Be the First Darwinian Theory to Go?
June 6, 2008
Evolutionary psychologists are not getting much respect these days. Some evolutionists, like Stephen Jay Gould and Richard Lewontin, criticized them for years. Now, a new book came out against them and Science gave it a good review.1 To turn a Darwinian phrase, reviewer Johan J. Bolhuis said that the field of evolutionary psychology is undergoing […]
Alien Messages via Neutrinos
June 6, 2008
Three scientists are suggesting that SETI researchers comb neutrinos for alien messages. Nothing natural could produce high-energy neutrinos, they said in Science,1 so aliens may use their cosmic accelerators to send neutrino packets across the intergalactic internet. They suggested watching for them in the neutrino detector at the South Pole. 1. Random Samples, Science, Volume […]

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.
