Dark Matter Sheds Light on Invisible Stars: Come Again?
September 17, 2007
Can one unknown shed light on another unknown? That’s what some UK astronomers seem to be saying. Before describing their model, consider this conundrum with which they ended a story in the BBC News: “We don’t know what the dark matter is, we don’t know what the first stars are. If we bring these two […]
Review: The Case for Christ DVD
September 16, 2007
A film adaptation of Lee Strobel’s best seller The Case for Christ (1998) was released by La Mirada Films on September 11. Strobel, a former legal reporter for the Chicago Tribune, and an atheist, was determined to disprove the miracles and resurrection of Jesus Christ after his wife converted to Christianity. His two-year investigation of […]
Some Christian Colleges Love Darwin More than Jesus
September 14, 2007
“If you love me, keep my commandments,” Jesus said. He told his disciples to expect persecution. He commanded them to take up their cross and follow him, explaining that as the world hated him, it would hate them. Counting the cost, the early disciples did indeed love and follow him to the death. […]
Iapetus update
September 13, 2007
The data have returned from Cassini’s closest-ever flyby of Iapetus (see 09/07/2007). All the images can be found at Cassini Multimedia raw images, with good samples posted by the imaging team here and here. Amateurs and pros at Unmanned Spaceflight started getting really excited at 12:40 a.m. Tuesday when the images hit the […]
Genetics Central Dogma Is Dead
September 12, 2007
The science of life is undergoing changes so jolting that even its top researchers are feeling something akin to shell-shock.
New World Record for Winged Migration
September 11, 2007
The BBC News reports that a female bar-tailed godwit flew 11,500km (almost 7200 mi) nonstop from Alaska to New Zealand. The journey took about a week. Observers at Massey University used electronic tags to catalog the birds’ flight. This distance is nearly double what ornithologists used to consider an “extremely long” flight. This […]
Potatoes: Brain Food for Evolutionary Health
September 11, 2007
A claim that eating starchy foods, like potatoes, made men out of monkeys made it all the way to the BBC News. “Man’s ability to digest starchy foods like the potato may explain our success on the planet, genetic work suggests,” the subtitle read. Not only that, it claimed “these extra calories may have been […]
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 […]

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.
