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 […]
Woodpecker Heads Absorb Shocks
January 9, 2007
Pounding a tree with your head 12,000 times a day would tend to give one a headache, but for woodpeckers, it’s all in a day’s work. How do they manage? Corey Binns on Live Science interviewed Ivan Schwab (UC Davis) who explained some of the specialized adaptations in a woodpecker head: thick muscles, spring-like bones, […]
Mars Life With Bleached Hair
January 8, 2007
Mars has hydrogen peroxide. Bombardier beetles use peroxide. So maybe the Viking landers in 1976 didn’t find life, because they didn’t look for peroxide-based life. That’s the essence of the reasoning in an Associated Press story circulating on the net (see Breitbart.com). Reporter Seth Borenstein earns Stupid Evolution Quote of the Week for […]
Is Legal Hammerlocking the Way to Win a Scientific Controversy?
January 6, 2007
The cartoon stereotype of a scientist as an unbiased truth-seeking nerd wearing a white lab coat is hard to reconcile with some recent events. Not that the cartoon stereotype was ever realistic, but the row over Darwinism vs Intelligent Design (ID) shows just how biased and unethical certain people and organizations can behave in support […]
Are Cellular Motors Related by Evolution?
January 5, 2007
Just because two things go round and round, does that make them related by common ancestry? A Japanese team thinks so. A bacterial flagellum rotates (06/04/2002). So does ATP synthase, though it is about 10 times smaller (04/30/2004). Publishing in PNAS,1 these researchers looked for a relationship, and noted that these two motors bear some […]
SETI: A Systematic Theology
January 4, 2007
Thick books on systematic theology usually include sections about creation, anthropology, and eschatology. Those sections are also present in condensed form in an article by Adrian Brown of the SETI Institute at Space.com. As for origins, Darwinian materialism was implicit passim and needed no elaboration. As for anthropology, he said man is like a god, […]
Article: What Hath Galileo Wrought?
January 4, 2007
For the PhysicsWeb site, philosopher and historian Robert B. Crease (State U of NY at Stony Brook) wrote a “Critical Point” article called “The Book of Nature.” He discusses Galileo’s contention that there is a Book of Nature separate from the Book of Scripture that can be investigated on its own through the language of […]
This Bacterium Moves Like a Tank
January 3, 2007
Mark McBride (U of Wisconsin) has been trying for a decade to figure out how a gliding bacterium glides. His conclusion: the microbe has tire treads like a conveyor belt that make it roll over a variety of surfaces, like an all-terrain vehicle. According to a U of Wisconsin press release, the Department […]

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.
