Go to the Ant Farm, Thou Darwinist
March 16, 2006
It’s the 50th anniversary of the Ant Farm, and inventor Milton Levine is still tickled about the impact his toy has had on millions of kids, reported AP on MSNBC. The charm of Uncle Milton’s Ant Farm was in “creating a whole world that you can see,” a world of creative and industrious ants. Moms […]
This Is a Problem: Dino-Feather Story Gets Scaly
March 15, 2006
Just when proponents of dinosaur-to-bird evolution were getting agreement on their story, along came Juravenator. Announced in Nature,1 this new dinosaur fossil from Germany is dated later than the earliest alleged “feathered dinosaur,” but had no feathers. The finely-preserved specimen, in the same Solnhofen limestone that preserved Archaeopteryx (dated 2-3 million years later), had clear […]
The Darwin Empire Strikes Back
March 14, 2006
It would seem the ID republic is imprisoned on its own ice-world of Hoth, scrambling to escape as the empire has mobilized its machinery against the rebels. The AAAS, for instance, held its “Evolution on the Front Line” event in St. Louis and has posted its weaponry on its Center for Public Engagement with Science […]
Stardust Finds Burnt Rock in Comet Dust
March 14, 2006
Major upset in solar system origin theories indicated by minerals that had to form hot.
The Astrobiology Sky Is Falling
March 13, 2006
Rocco Mancinelli (Principal Investigator, SETI Institute) made an impassioned plea on Space.com for continued funding of astrobiology projects, calling threatened funding cuts a “national disaster” if not reversed. And what is astrobiology? He defined it as “the study of the origin, evolution, distribution, and future of life in the universe.” His reasons for keeping astrobiology […]
Misfolded Proteins Cause Cascade of Harmful Effects
March 12, 2006
There are a myriad ways a polypeptide chain could collapse into a shapeless mass.
Ararat Anomaly Photo Released
March 11, 2006
To follow up on an old story, a satellite photo of the so-called “Ararat Anomaly” has been released (see 08/23/2001 entry). The photo taken by the Quickbird 2 satellite shows what is most likely a rock ridge. Some hunters for Noah’s Ark were eager to see high-resolution photos of this area; others thought whatever it […]
Lazarus, Come Forth: Living Fossils Rise from the Dead
March 10, 2006
An animal goes extinct. Millions of years pass. The animal is found living in some remote jungle. Scientists call this the “Lazarus effect,” after the man Jesus raised from the dead (see John 11). Others call these finds “living fossils,” long thought to be extinct but now thriving in isolated ecological niches. There are many […]
Analysis: The Dover Decision
March 10, 2006
Dr. Kevin L. Anderson of the Creation Research Society wrote an analysis of Judge Jones’ decision in the Kitzmiller v. Dover School District case. Since this appeared in a members-only newsletter, Creation Matters, we sought and obtained permission to reproduce it: Click Here. A very different view was expressed by David Johns (School […]
Deities for Atheists, or Atheism for Dummies?
March 9, 2006
Michael Shermer wrote a book review in Science entitled “Deities for Atheists.”1 The article reviewed George Basalla’s recent book, Civilized Life in the Universe: Scientists on Intelligent Extraterrestrials (Oxford, 2005). Basalla (historian of science and technology, U of Delaware) contends that SETI is the continuation of an ancient religious quest. If so, who are the […]
Introns Stump Evolutionary Theorists
March 9, 2006
This story is not about Enron and Exxon, but about introns and exons. The proportions of the scandals they are causing in evolutionary theory, however, may be comparable. Introns are spacers between genes. For several decades now, it has been a puzzle why they are there, and why a complex machine called a […]
Darwinists Take a Snubbing
March 8, 2006
Darwinism got beat up in the polls again. World Net Daily reported on a new Zogby poll that showed that “69 percent of Americans believe public school teachers should present both the evidence for and against Darwinian evolution.” Evolution News had comments about the poll; secular news media seemed to pay no attention. […]
Turkish Family Evolving Into Quadrupeds
March 7, 2006
Is this a hoax? The Times Online UK posted a picture of a family in Turkey that walks naturally on all fours, and calls this a “unique insight into human evolution.” Sean O’Neill at New Scientist is not sure what to think. A professor Humphrey claims this is an example of “backward evolution,” or a […]
In Praise of Fat
March 6, 2006
Well, great balls of fat. Cells have spherical globs of lipid (fat) molecules that never had gotten much attention nor respect. They have been called lipid droplets, oil bodies, fat globules and other names suggesting they were just the beer bellies of the cell. Not any more. Scientists have been taking a closer look at […]
Little Colorado Grand Falls Much Younger Than Thought
March 5, 2006
The Little Colorado River makes a dramatic drop over a lava cliff in Arizona after going around a lava flow. Previous estimates dated the lava at the falls at 150,000 years old (150ka). Now, a team of geologists publishing in GSA Bulletin1 used multiple methods that dated it at no more than 19,600 years old […]

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.
