Evolutionists Scare Presidential Voters
January 6, 2008
What will doom the United States? A nuclear war? Islamic terrorism? An economic depression? No: the doomsday agent will be a creationist president, said an AFP article posted on PhysOrg. It was published internationally as far as Japan and Turkey. The scare rhetoric came at the launching of an updated book on creationism […]
Two Fossil Explosions Are Better than One
January 5, 2008
“If one is good, two is better” might work with cookies, but not with headaches. Evolutionary paleontologists have just gotten a second headache and seem almost happy about it. How can this be? Read this article in Science Daily to learn how some evolutionists seem to be masochists. As if the Cambrian Explosion were not […]
New Planet, or Dusty Brown Dwarf?
January 4, 2008
A planet has been found associated with a dusty disk, reported National Geographic News and Astrobiology.com. This is “one of the most exciting discoveries in the study of extrasolar planets,” a Max Planck Institute researcher said, because they “have directly proven” that planets form from dust disks. Moreover, they must form rapidly, because the planet […]
Do Monkeys Practice the Oldest Occupation?
January 4, 2008
If monkeys do it, should it be outlawed? A story on Fox News claims that male monkeys pay for sex. The females make them pay up first: “The males use grooming as a form of currency to buy sex from the female,” a study by evolutionary biologists in Singapore concluded. And the point is? Animals […]
Missing Links or Linking Misses? The Case of the Fungus Crystal
January 3, 2008
Another evolutionary missing-link claim showed up in the news recently. The suggestive phrase “missing link” implies a chain with just one piece missing. It also implies that the chain is visible from one end to the other. Maybe a magic crystal from a fungus can help us visualize the chain. A “critical missing […]
Yet Another Dinosaur Extinction Theory: Bugs
January 3, 2008
A press release from Oregon State claims that insects may have finished off the dinosaurs. Two main reasons were given for this hypothesis: (1) the extinction coincides with the rise of flowering plants and their pollinators, and (2) the impact theory has serious problems. “There are serious problems with the sudden impact theories of dinosaur […]
2008 Begins With Darwinist Call to Arms
January 2, 2008
Do the pro-evolutionists show any signs of compromise, contrition or consilience after unceasing pressure from critics for decades? Not in the slightest. If anything, their rhetoric is becoming increasingly bellicose. An example can be found in an article on today’s Live Science. A survey of 1,000 likely voters, conducted by the pro-evolutionist Federation […]
Science Docudrama Biases Against Religion
December 31, 2007
On New Year’s Eve, the Discovery HD Theater re-ran the 2005 BBC science docudrama Supervolcano, which dramatizes what might happen to civilization if the volcano under Yellowstone were to unleash its pent-up magma with the fury of prehistoric eruptions. At three points at least, the program touched on issues of religion and ultimate […]
Birdsong Olympic Training
December 29, 2007
The singing of a bird is a complex skill that takes rigorous training like that of a top athlete or musician. Young male birds learn by imitation from their fathers, then hone their skill over months, till their song becomes crystallized in adulthood. A paper in Nature by two scientists at UC San Francisco reported […]
Quality Control Ensures Accurate Cell Division
December 28, 2007
The wonders of cell division are described in several new discovery papers.
Comet Woes Lamented
December 27, 2007
Space.com posted an article on “The enduring mysteries of comets.” The mysteries include: Where did earth’s oceans come from? For a long time, scientists expected comets delivered the water, until measurements showed a discrepancy in the hydrogen/deuterium ratios. It’s also highly improbable there was enough wet stuff in those assumed delivery vehicles. No secular scientist […]
Why Academia Leans to the Left
December 26, 2007
Why do PhDs in academia tend to be politically liberal? A paragraph in Science magazine’s feature “Random Samples” on December 21 suggested a reason: conservatives value other goals, like going into business to make money, or choosing to stay home and raise a family.1 “Why are academics in the United States so politically […]
National Geographic Waffles on Gospel of Judas
December 26, 2007
Last year, National Geographic published, in its magazine and on a TV special, a translation of the Gnostic “Gospel of Judas” that suggested Judas was a noble character who was only obeying orders from Jesus (see 04/09/2006). The interpretation hinged on certain words and phrases in the text: for example, whether the Greek word daimon […]
Your Body Says: Resolve to Exercise
December 26, 2007
Even moderate exercise can prevent health risks, an article in Science Daily says. Want to keep the waist trim? Reduce the bad cholesterol and triglycerides, and increase your HDLs? Want to lower your risk of diabetes, heart attack and stroke? Then get out and walk. You don’t have to become a jogger or gym addict. […]
Darwin Claus Becomes Icon of Winter Solstice
December 25, 2007
Evolution News has a picture of Darwin as Santa Claus. They got the picture from a Winter Solstice card sent among atheists at Winter Solstice luncheons that are springing up around the country. The caption on the card states, “evolve your beliefs.” The historic St. Nicholas of Patara, a Christian altruist, would be appalled at […]

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.
