Can Humans Use Evolution?
September 10, 2007
Evolution is being used. A press release from University of Wisconsin-Madison was titled, “Using evolution, UW team creates a template for many new therapeutic agents.” How does one use evolution? It continued, “By guiding an enzyme down a new evolutionary pathway, a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison researchers has created a new form of an […]
Interpreting Secular Reports About Biblical Events
September 10, 2007
Can secular science provide a bias-free interpretation of evidence for Biblical events? Consider the case of Robert Ballard’s Black-Sea Flood theory for Noah’s Flood. This was popular a few years ago (04/21/2001), but has come under fire by other researchers (04/26/2002). Today an Israeli research team claimed their research vessel found evidence to support the […]
Are You a Glorified Ape?
September 9, 2007
Evolutionists cannot deny the large cognitive gaps between humans and the alleged nearest ancestors, the great apes.
Eyes Do Precision Digital Sampling
September 8, 2007
What is the shutter speed of the eye? Have you ever considered this question? After all, the eye functions like a camera in some respects. Shutterbugs know that shutter speed and aperture are factors in proper exposure. Most of us know that the iris of the eye controls the aperture, but what controls the shutter […]
Saturns Iapetus Takes Cassinis Spotlight
September 7, 2007
Scientists are eagerly poised for Cassini’s long-awaited ultra-close flyby of Iapetus on September 10. The previous visit in 2005 was over 77,000 miles away; this flyby will skim the surface from less than 1,000 miles. Moreover, it will see a portion of the moon only vaguely imaged by Voyager and Cassini before. Jet Propulsion Laboratory, […]
Dinosaurs Stretched, Shrunk and Twisted Into Birds
September 6, 2007
Size matters, thought paleontologists envisioning the evolution of birds from dinosaurs. The old story was that dinosaurs shrunk as their arms were becoming wings. That view has been challenged by a new fossil reported in Science.1 Alan H. Turner (American Museum of Natural History) and four others reported a “basal dromeosaurid” that was small long […]
Whale Sonar: Necessity Is the Mother of Invention
September 5, 2007
Biosonar is a complex ability possessed by toothed whales and dolphins, bats and some birds. It includes both the ability to produce signals and to process the echoes to locate prey. How could such a system evolve? Scientists at UC Berkeley proposed an answer. The press release promised a developing story: Behind the sailor’s lore […]
Do Genes Reveal the Cambrian Explosion?
September 4, 2007
A Croatian geneticist believes he can find the Cambrian Explosion in the genes. Science Daily told about Tomislav Domazet-Loso from the Rudjer Boskovic Institute in Zagreb, whose team employed a “novel methodological approach in evolutionary studies” they called “genomic phylostratigraphy.” Looking for a “genetic trigger” for the Cambrian explosion, they hoped their method can “shed […]
Birds Eat Dark Moths, Therefore God Does Not Exist
September 3, 2007
Michael Majerus watched birds eat peppered moths from his window for seven years (06/25/2004), then drew his conclusions. In a presentation to a science conference in Uppsala, Sweden on August 23, he said that the peppered moth story proves evolution, which means there is no supernatural being to save us, there is no second coming, […]
Ararat Anomaly to Be Imaged in Hi-Res
September 2, 2007
The “Ararat anomaly,” an unusual structure at the 15,300′ level of Mt. Ararat in Turkey, is getting increased scrutiny with high-resolution satellite imaging. Leonard David reported on Live Science that Porcher Taylor of Satellite Imaging Corporation has created a 3-D flyover movie of the site from Ikonos satellite data, and that Geo-Eye I, to be […]
Messy Evidence Proves Humans Evolved
September 1, 2007
An article from Live Science seems to suggest that the way to do science these days is to believe things in spite of the evidence – at least when it comes to human evolution. In a juxtaposition of imponderables that might make a schizophrenic feel at home, Meredith Small asserted that evolution is a fact […]
Solar System Solved?
August 30, 2007
Those who deal in models of the origin of the solar system sometimes have to entertain themselves to overcome grief. See if you can detect this attitude in the following Stupid Evolution Quote of the Week from Space.com: “This has been a stumbling block for 30 years,” said Mordecai-Marc Mac Low, an astrophysicist at the […]
Is the Universe Hole-y?
August 29, 2007
Cosmologists are trying to avoid a void. Since astronomers at U of Minnesota announced a gaping hole in a distant part of the universe, representing a region of space devoid of matter a billion light-years across, others are scrambling to discern what it means. The issue was discussed on EurekAlert, BBC News, Science Now, and […]
Solar System News
August 28, 2007
A flurry of discoveries about the Sun’s family has some scientists smiling and others furrowing their brows. Astrobiologists, as usual, are wielding their divining rods, looking for water. Some of these reports surfaced at the European Planetary Science Congress last week at Potsdam, Germany; see agenda and press releases at Europlanet. Basalt assault: How did […]
Tales of Two Footprints
August 27, 2007
Footprints in the sands of time have been found at two different locations. What tales do they tell? One is a footprint of a Roman soldier. EurekAlert described how the sandal print was uncovered at Hippos, or Susita, on a hill east of the Sea of Galilee. It hints that soldiers participated in […]

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.
