Evolution Sunday Honors Darwin Over God
February 11, 2007
An essay by Edna Devore of the SETI Institute on Space.com encourages churches to join in Mike Zimmerman’s “Evolution Sunday” celebrations. Zimmerman, with his Clergy Letter Project (see also New Scientist), has gotten over 10,000 pastors to sign a statement affirming evolution as an essential part of science and religion (02/11/2006). Devore thinks this is […]
Enceladus Spray-Paints Its Neighbors Yards
February 10, 2007
Saturn’s moon Enceladus is not only Yellowstone unto itself. Its shares the National Park experience with its neighbors. The geyser spray coats nearby moons white like snow. Space.com and National Geographic are calling this a case of “cosmic graffiti.” How did scientists catch the tagger? The original paper in Science describes how on […]
Highlights from Biblical Archaeology News
February 9, 2007
As an intelligent-design science, archaeology continues to interpret the actions of human intelligence from the observation of physical artifacts. Here are some recent stories bearing on Bible history and archaeology. Battle of the Ages: Science had a special section on Jerusalem archaeology in the Feb 2 issue. Andrew Lawler1 critiqued the spectacular claim that the […]
Music Out of Range of Darwins Instrument
February 9, 2007
In Science this week,1 Michael Balter reported on a Montreal meeting of the Brain, Music and Sound Research Center (BRAMS). The center is gaining attention for its renewed interest in the biology of music, and why human beings are so good at this skill with its dubious survival value. The topic came up about how […]
Haeckel Given Soft Gloves in Nature
February 8, 2007
How should a scientist’s career be evaluated if he was a known fraud? How also if he promoted views that fanned the flames of racism and genocide? Here’s what Philip Ball said about Ernst Haeckel in Nature:1 Reckoned to have been instrumental to the introduction of darwinism to Germany, Haeckel has also inspired generations of […]
Dodo Prey Fights Back
February 7, 2007
Irked at falsehoods promulgated by Randy Olsen’s film Flock of Dodos, the intelligent design (ID) think tank Discovery Institute (DI) is fighting back. The film presents a viewpoint that what ID lacks in science it makes up for in public relations. The DI is convinced the reverse is true. In an attempt to rebut what […]
Turkana Boy Causes Museum Ruckus
February 7, 2007
Christians want the boy arrested and locked up. Scientists want to put him on stage. The stage is Kenya’s National Museum, and the boy is Turkana boy, a fossil classified by evolutionists as Homo erectus and claimed to be 1.6 million years old. CNN reported that the museum is showcasing the fossil, the most complete […]
Contingency and the Structure of Lifes Building Blocks
February 6, 2007
Some Yale scientists found they could construct protein-like molecules using amino acids of a type not found in living things. They found that beta-amino acids can fold into shapes similar to the proteins made of alpha-amino acids used in living things. Beta-amino acids have an extra carbon on the backbone. “Yale chemists show that nature […]
Stupid Evolution Quote of the Week: What Thou Doest, Do Quickly
February 5, 2007
This award should be for last week since the article on EurekAlert was dated Jan 29. From a press release at Rice University, it begins: It’s a mystery why the speed and complexity of evolution appear to increase with time. For example, the fossil record indicates that single-celled life first appeared about 3.5 billion years […]
First Euro-Stegosaur Found
February 4, 2007
A Stegosaurus fossil has been found in Portugal, reported Live Science. Previously this species with its spiked tail and prominent rows of plates on its back was only known from North America. A tooth, some leg bones and part of the backbone have been unearthed. So far, the fossil looks indistinguishable from its North American […]
Darwinists Topple Darwins Tree of Life
February 1, 2007
Darwin’s “Tree of Life” is a myth. It’s based on circular reasoning. It is a pattern imposed on the data, not a fact emerging from the evidence. We should give up the search for a single tree of life (TOL) as a record of the history of life on earth, because it is a “quixotic […]
Cells Perform Sporting Interactions
January 31, 2007
The components of living cells perform such acrobatic moving interactions, one would think they are having fun. Here’s the news from the Wide World of Cellular Sports. Speedway: A news release from Penn Medicine talks about how motor proteins step on the gas and the brakes in their motions around the cell. The announcer from […]
Cell Quality Control Runs a Tight Ship
January 31, 2007
Without the surveillance and rapid response of quality control, cells would collapse and die. Here are some recently-published examples of nanoheroes in action. Plant checkpoints: Picture a child watching the wonder of a seedling breaking through the soil into the light for the first time. Within hours, the ghostly-white stem turns green, and a day […]
The Space Race: Just Staying Alive
January 30, 2007
“Ad astra!” the sci-fi slogan announces with eternal optimism: “To the stars!” Medical doctors and astrobiologists are not sure you would want to stay there long, though. Some recent findings give a dismal picture of the prospects for life – human or bacterial – at least in our solar system, if that can be assumed […]
Dating a Star is Glamorous Only in Theory
January 30, 2007
Hollywood stars may be fickle, but so are great balls of fire in outer space when it comes to understanding them. Some recent examples: Taking the pulse: The Chandra X-ray Observatory wrote a glowing report about a “textbook supernova,” which is a nice pairing of observation and theory. It added this caveat, though, about dating […]

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.
