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 […]
Spiral Galaxies Wind Up Into Blurs In Short Cosmological Time
March 4, 2006
Cosmic billions of years have received another challenge from the physics of spiral arms in spiral galaxies.
Curious George Learns Helpfulness; Newspapers Go Bananas
March 3, 2006
Item: Three evolutionists at the Max Planck Institute did experiments with chimps to see if they collaborated on problem-solving. Writing in Science,1 they said: We presented chimpanzees with collaboration problems in which they had to decide when to recruit a partner and which potential partner to recruit. In an initial study, individuals recruited a collaborator […]
Anti-ID Media Resorts to Mockery, Misrepresentation
March 2, 2006
Evolution News, a blog of the Discovery Institute ID think tank, was launched in 2004 to try to correct misrepresentation in the media. It never seems to have a shortage of material (see their 3/2/2006 post). Even though the Discovery Institute maintains public documents on its website defining what intelligent design is and what it […]
Keeping Icy Moons Warm for Billions of Years
March 1, 2006
Each spacecraft that has explored the outer solar system has yielded surprises. It is common knowledge that Voyager scientists were blown away by the first views of active moons they expected to be cold and old. Recent discoveries have only intensified the surprises. Richard Kerr wrote recently in Science,1 Why is there geology on Saturn’s […]
Evolution: A Theory in Splices
February 28, 2006
One of the reasons Darwinism has such staying power may be because it is so flexible. Any speculation can be spliced in or out, as long as the belief that “evolution is a fact” is not jeopardized. Here are some recent examples of claims made by certain scientists that everything you know about evolution is […]
Why You Have Snail Shells in Your Ears
February 28, 2006
The inner ear has a part, the cochlea, that resembles a snail shell. Why is that? First, let’s talk about iPods and stereos. In recent years, manufacturers have hyped “mega-bass” and other buzzwords that boast about how their devices beef up the bass frequency for that sound that rocks. Scientists have wondered if the cochlea […]

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.
