Whats On ETV Tonight?
January 22, 2007
SETI researchers are building radio telescopes that might be able to catch leaking airwaves from the aliens, reports National Geographic and Space.com. Some 1,000 stars within 30 light-years may be within the reach of an array of new radio telescopes in Australia. SETI researchers can piggyback on this astrophysics facility to listen in on frequencies […]
Skeptics Society Apology Illustrates Christian Virtue
January 21, 2007
Some evolutionists leaped onto a press release from a group named PEER last December that claimed national park rangers at Grand Canyon were obeying some new policy under pressure from the Bush administration that did not allow them to claim the canyon was millions of years old (see 01/11/2007, bullet 2). This was supposedly related […]
This Bug Is Whiter than White, Brighter than Bright
January 19, 2007
Detergent manufacturers should get a load of this beetle. Cyphochilus, a resident of southeast Asia, is clothed in one of the brightest white surfaces (per unit thickness) known. British scientists reporting in Science1 were intrigued how the bug accomplishes this shining performance. Most bright-white surfaces, such as paint and paper, need a hundred times the […]
No Evolutionary Tree for Galaxies
January 18, 2007
Edwin Hubble was famous for many important discoveries, including the confirmation of external galaxies and the expansion of the universe (no, he did not build the Hubble Space Telescope; he died in 1953). One of his theories, though, a kind of evolutionary story of galaxies, has not fared so well. Sidney van den Bergh discussed […]
The Evolution of Electrical Engineering: An Imaginary Tale
January 17, 2007
Nerves carry electrical impulses. Ipso facto, they are subject to laws of physics concerning conductance, capacitance, and resistance. Getting a signal from one end of an animal to the other in time can be a matter of life and death. In order to maintain optimum levels of electrical conductivity to meet their lifestyle requirements, animals […]
Dinosaur Fight or Common Fate?
January 17, 2007
A fossil discovery by amateurs in Montana, reported by the Great Falls Tribune, shows “a meat-eater and a plant-eater – with their tails crossed like swords.” The fossils show “remarkable detail, right down to tendons and teeth.” The three amateur discoverers had been scouting on private property in Garfield County. Finding bone fragments on a […]
Fossil Non-Embryos Quench Cambrian Explosion Fuse
January 16, 2007
Alleged fossil animal embryos in Precambrian rock in China are not. Last year (06/18/2006) and before, researchers found what looked like cleaved embryos in the strata under the Cambrian “explosion” layers. Now, a paper in Nature reclassifies them as giant bacteria, not embryos.1 Some evolutionists had hoped the discovery of animal embryos would […]
Evolutionary Reversal: Is the Neanderthal Category Collapsing?
January 16, 2007
The Oase skulls found in Romania share modern and Neanderthal characteristics, reported Science Daily in a story reverberating on major media sites (see Reuters). From a press release by the University of Bristol, Science Daily reported, “By comparing it with other skulls, Professor [Joao] Zilhao and colleagues found that Oase 2 had the same proportions […]
Evolutionist Lost Faith Over Flawed Geology Lesson
January 12, 2007
A college student’s Biblical faith could not survive a geology lesson that seemed to offer convincing proof that the earth was older than Genesis indicated.
Evolutionists Fret Over Persistent Creationism
January 11, 2007
Fretting and fuming over the persistence of creationism (and belief in God, which usually accompanies it), evolutionists are trying to come up with ways to combat it. This presupposes that they are not listening to the arguments of the creationists. Ambassadors for Darwin: In an editorial in Science Jan. 12, editor Alan Leshner encouraged scientists […]
Amphibious Assault Against Gradualism
January 10, 2007
A State of the Salamander Address was printed in PNAS recently.1 An international group of scientists looked for evolutionary ancestry and “Global patterns of diversification in the history of modern amphibians.” It would seem Mr. Darwin has a bit of frog in his throat: The fossil record of modern amphibians (frogs, salamanders, and caecilians) provides […]
Are Evolutionists Converging on a Story of Vertebrates?
January 10, 2007
Here’s what the Linnean Society said in 1909, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Darwin’s Origin of Species, about the rise of vertebrates (fish, reptiles, amphibians, and mammals): “When we return home and our friends gleefully enquire, ‘What then has been decided as to the Origin of Vertebrates?’, so far we seem to have no reply […]
Dreams of Planetary Oceans Dry Up
January 9, 2007
Astrobiologists like oceans. The vision of life evolving on Earth in a primordial soup drives the quest to find liquid on other worlds. It doesn’t have to be liquid water: just liquid that stimulates the imagination with visions of exotic life. Two solar system bodies once considered prime candidates for ocean front property, though, have […]
New Scapegoat for Your Golf Score: Evolution
January 9, 2007
Stanford scientists are blaming evolution for our difficulty at golf, according to The Stanford Daily. Working with rhesus monkeys, the researchers found that primate brains are too adaptable to changing conditions to become good at a repetitive tasks. “One possible explanation for the observation is that evolution favored predators who could improvise, as they never […]
Non-Embryonic Stem Cells Found in Amniotic Fluid
January 9, 2007
A vast source of possibly pluripotent stem cells without ethical problems has been discovered in amniotic fluid by scientists at Wake Forest University. Ronald Green of Dartmouth is hoping the science pans out, according to National Geographic News. He said, “We are very much in need of ‘ethically universal’ lines [of stem cells] that anyone […]

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.
