Creepy! Creationism in School
May 22, 2008
Is there some reason that two reports described creationism as something that is “creeping” into schools? USA: In Live Science, senior editor Robin Lloyd described creationism as “creeping” into U.S. classrooms. “One in eight U.S. high school biology teachers presents creationism or intelligent design in a positive light in the classroom, a new survey shows, […]
Dinosaurs Walked in Yemen
May 22, 2008
Dinosaur tracks have been found in Yemen – a region with few fossils of dinosaurs. The reports on National Geographic News, Science Daily and the BBC News said the tracks had been covered up with rubble and debris. Dinosaur evidence is “exceptionally rare” in this part of the world. The paleontologists believe that […]
Moon Still Feeling the Impact
May 21, 2008
Craters on the moon seem so old. Astronomers count them to try to figure out how long ago the surface was battered by impacts. Although amateurs have claimed to see flashes on the moon’s surface through backyard telescopes, serious astronomers dismissed many of the reports as stories from the lunatic fringe. “Not any more,” says […]
Cosmology in Crisis Over Dark Energy
May 21, 2008
Ten years ago, cosmologists invented dark energy to explain certain features of the expansion of the universe that could not be reconciled with observations of supernova magnitudes. Now, reported National Geographic News, dark energy remains the most profound problem in physics. It’s like theory and observations are refusing to cooperate with an arranged marriage. […]
Did Music Evolve?
May 19, 2008
Nature is running a nine-part series on music. The most recent entry by Josh McDermott, psychologist at University of Minnesota, asked how music might have evolved.1 The theme, with variations, is that nobody knows. Music is a uniquely human trait. It is ubiquitous across cultures. Bird songs and animal calls, while musical to […]
Beware of Starstuff
May 19, 2008
Stars can be dangerous. They spew out deadly particles, unless you are protected from them in a safety bubble – like Earth has. The Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere only let in the life-giving part of sunlight. Studies of other stars, and our own moon, show that things could be far worse. Record flare: A […]
Will Hardcore Scientism Warm Up to Artificial Religion?
May 17, 2008
Live Science reported on a series of papers presented in Washington on the subject of science and religion. One might have expected warfare from the title, “God and Science Collide in Nation’s Capital”; indeed, Robin Lloyd portrayed the usual take-no-prisoners attitude of some scientists: “Scientists hate God. Or find God very disturbing. In fact, modern […]
Star Light, Star Bright, I Wish I Knew Whats Going On
May 16, 2008
Astronomy is fun, if for no other reason than it gives one endless opportunities to be shocked and surprised. Pulsar outside the box: Theory has it all laid out nice and neat. Pulsars form when a red giant drops matter onto a binary companion, making it go boom in a supernova, leaving behind a spinning […]
Animals Outsmart Scientists
May 15, 2008
In science, long-standing beliefs are often challenged by new evidence. Several recent findings not only show animals to be more remarkable than thought, they pose some new questions for evolutionists. Slothlessness: Sleeping almost all day, the sloth is the epitome of laziness in the animal kingdom. Or is it? The BBC News now tells us […]
Hagfishing for Eye Evolution
May 14, 2008
Darwin recognized the vertebrate eye as one of the biggest challenges for his theory. Still in 2008, evolutionists are debating it. Two recent articles, both pro-evolution, reveal almost black-and-white attitudes about the problem. One is cheery and optimistic; the other sober. Eye evolution? No problem. That seems to be the view of Kate […]
Cell Electronics Is High-Tech
May 13, 2008
To describe a living cell these days, you have to borrow electronics lingo. Notice how two recent articles described cell specs: Ham radio immunity: What acts like a radio dial, a signal amplifier, and a precision rheostat? Your immune system, according to Science Daily. Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital described how the cell […]
Darwinist Intolerance Continues Unabated after Expelled
May 12, 2008
Ben Stein’s documentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed has ranked #12 in documentaries after 3 weeks. It could easily rank much higher after the DVD comes out. Has the scientific community shown any signs of remorse over their treatment of individuals and groups who question Darwinism, as illustrated in the film? ICR expelled: On April 24, […]
Earths Core Values Questioned
May 11, 2008
Geologists have long assumed that iron attracted certain elements toward the earth’s core during its formation. The amounts of them we find today were added by meteorites and comets as a veneer on the surface later. A press release from Florida State University is questioning those core values. New research “calls into question three decades […]
Update: Cambrian Explosion Damage Control
May 10, 2008
Here’s an update to the “State of the Cambrian Explosion.” Two years ago, our 04/23/2006 entry analyzed a lengthy paper in Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences by Dr. Charles R. Marshall, a Harvard professor of biology and geology. Dr. Marshall had taken on the arduous task of explaining, in evolutionary terms, the sudden […]
Platypus Genome Surprises Evolutionists
May 9, 2008
Thanks to more efficient sequencing techniques, genomes of more and more animals are coming to light. The latest is from one of the most unusual animals in nature: the duck-billed platypus of Australia. The long and short of it: if evolutionists were confused about the phenotype (outward appearance) of this creature, they are just as […]

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.
