Darwinists Foment Civil Disobedience Against Questioning Darwinism
July 8, 2006
The new science standards in Kansas require students to learn more about evolution, including evidence for and against it (see Discovery Institute press release). The standards specifically exclude the teaching of intelligent design theory. To some activist groups, however, this requirement is so intolerable, they want teachers to disobey it. According to Evolution News, there […]
Evolving Consciousness Without a Soul
July 7, 2006
A paper tackling the theory of consciousness begins, Any scientific study of consciousness is based on the premise that phenomenal experience is entailed by neuronal activity in the brain. Given this premise, an adequate theory of consciousness must be consistent with physics and with evolutionary principles. Nonphysical or dualistic forces or processes must be excluded, […]
Nature Gives Top Blog Honors to Radical Atheists
July 6, 2006
P. Z. Myers (U of Minnesota) has been one of the most foul-mouthed critics of creation, intelligent design and religion in general. He has said that Abraham was worse than Hitler (see Evolution News). He has ridiculed the crucifixion of Christ (see Evolution News). His opinion on how to treat anti-evolutionists: “I say, screw the […]
Genetic Code Began by Lamarckian Evolution
July 5, 2006
It takes guts to tackle the origin of the genetic code from a naturalist perspective. It also takes guts to resurrect Lamarck in the age of Darwin. Carl Woese and colleagues tried a new hypothesis in PNAS1 that boldly goes headlong into both challenges. To preserve a natural explanation for the genetic code, they felt […]
Rip Van Winkle Revives
July 3, 2006
A man in a coma 19 years has regained some brain function, surprising scientists. Terry Wallis is relearning how to count and speak, and thinks Ronald Reagan is still president. The story of his remarkable recovery has been reported widely in the news (see Fox News) and was featured on both News@Nature and Science Now. […]
Paper View: Why SETI Hears Only a Great Silence
June 30, 2006
Enrico Fermi posed a curious question in 1950: “Where is everybody?” If life emerges on planets as a consequence of evolution, there should be other intelligent civilizations out there, and some of them must have colonized other worlds. He thought there must have been plenty of time for galactic colonizers to achieve technologies far beyond […]
Rockfish Prefer Oil-Rig Real Estate
June 30, 2006
Environmentalists may complain about offshore oil platforms, but the rockfish in the Santa Barbara channel aren’t paying attention. According to a study announced by UC Santa Barbara, rockfish are finding better living through human chemistry. The platforms provide security and prime nursing habitat, such that their numbers, once dangerously low, are now resurging. The artificial […]
Ant Pedometer Discovered
June 29, 2006
Ants have dumbfounded scientists again. It appears they count their steps when they walk, and keep track how far they have gone. Reporting in Science,1 a trio of German and Swiss scientists tested desert ants by making some walk on specially-designed stilts and others walk on stumps of cut-off legs. The first overshot their target, […]
Doubters Defy Darwin Dogma
June 29, 2006
One would think that the near unanimous opinion of international scientific societies opposing creationism and ID would carry a lot of weight with the public, but it doesn’t. There are indications that a substantial percent of the population is not impressed with the dogmatic pronouncements that evolution is a fact, and that anyone who disagrees […]
The Evolution of Immaturity
June 28, 2006
[Guest Article] Blame evolution for your teen’s immaturity. The Discovery Channel has published a review of an upcoming paper by Bruce Charlton, professor of biology at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, England. Charlton is a promoter of Evolutionary Psychology, a developing field of Psychology that attempts to explain all human characteristics in light of […]
Stem Cells Protect Against Defective Copies
June 27, 2006
The Pasteur Institute (see Louis Pasteur) has found evidence supporting a controversial theory known as the “immortal DNA” theory. According to News-Medical.Net, researchers at the institute believe that stem cells keep the best copies and allow only defective ones to differentiate and specialize. If so, this may be another mechanism for minimizing the effects of […]
Evolutionists Find Pegasus in the Gene Epic
June 26, 2006
When you conjure with genes, you never know what might appear. Japanese scientists, publishing in PNAS,1 tried to find evolution in mammalian retroposons and found an unexpected relationship. New Scientist explains: “You could call it a batty idea, but bats seem to be more closely related to horses than cows are.” “Despite the […]
Plants Use Electrical Sunscreen
June 23, 2006
Perhaps only a scientist, or a kid, would worry about how a plant doesn’t get sunburn, but it took elaborate scientific work for six months to find the answer. EurekAlert told about research at the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State that found how plants get rid of excess solar energy. They use carotenoids, molecules responsible […]
Science Reporters Spin Spider Web Data Into Evolutionary Program
June 23, 2006
A spider was found perfectly preserved in amber (fossil tree sap), complete with its web and prey. It is identical to modern spiders. Isn’t evolution amazing? If you just experienced a software crash, there must be something wrong with your BIOS. All the news media ran that program just fine. A patch is […]
Rubisco “Highly Tuned” for Fixing Atmospheric Carbon
June 22, 2006
Rubisco sounds like a brand of cracker or something, but it’s actually an air cleaner your life depends on. It’s an enzyme that fixes atmospheric carbon for use by photosynthetic microbes and plants. In doing so, it sweeps the planet of excess carbon dioxide – the greenhouse gas implicated in discussions of global warming – […]

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.
