Geologists Fight Over Demise of Dinosaurs
February 3, 2006
“No basis in fact” and “circular reasoning” are some of the phrases in a UK News Telegraph report about the cause of dinosaur extinction, along with words like “feud” and “no consensus” and “doggedly undecided.” Despite the “much-loved disaster movie scenario” of an asteroid impact wiping out the dinosaurs, a significant number of critics dispute […]
Precision of Cell Quality Control Described
February 3, 2006
Two research papers in Molecular Cell give more glimpses into the precision of cellular controls to ensure mistakes are detected and weeded out before harm occurs. Vogel, Bukau and Mayer1 found that the molecular “chaperone” Hsp70 has a “proline switch,” found in all living organisms. This switch regulates when the polypeptide needing to be folded […]
Ruse Gives Dennett Poor Grade on Evolution of Religion Book
February 2, 2006
Daniel Dennett is one of those Darwinists not shy about getting in the face of religious people, particularly Christians. Philosopher and pro-Darwinist historian Michael Ruse, on the other hand, has spent enough time around theologically-inclined people to give them a more sympathetic hearing. Ruse has regularly appeared on panels and in debates with leaders of […]
Birds Sing Duets
February 1, 2006
The little wrens in your backyard are not only soloists; they sing duets. A number of birds have been found to sing together in unison, or in antiphonal pairs. Some alternate melodic lines in rapid-fire succession and some sing in choirs. This was described by Susan Milius in Science News.1 One ornithologist was stunned in […]
Space Travel Too Hazardous for Humans
February 1, 2006
Astronomy magazine’s March 2006 issue contains a couple of sobering articles for those who like to dream of humans mastering the universe. Asking “Will moon dust stop NASA?”, Trudy E. Bell described the dangers of space dust: “it sticks to spacesuits, wreaks havoc on equipment, and may be physically harmful,” she wrote, citing the experiences […]
A Whale of a SETI Tale
January 31, 2006
Disney’s Fantasia 2000 had an episode that pictured whales gliding through the air as if in outer space. Lawrence Doyle of the SETI Institute connected whales with space in another way. His article discussed whale language as a sign of intelligence. Appealing to information theory and entropy, Doyle discussed how scientists deduce the syntax and […]
How Circular Reasoning Passes Peer Review
January 31, 2006
“Evolution is a fact; therefore, evolution is a fact.” That kind of logic would strike most people as either odd or flawed. Yet it is common fare in scientific journals, where the assumption of evolution is used as proof of evolution. Darwinists are fond of comparing evolution to gravity, making it appear such […]
How Fossils Form: We Dont Rightly Know
January 30, 2006
Fossils have been such a mainstay of evolutionary theory for at least two centuries, one would think we have a pretty good picture of the process. An article by Sid Perkins in Science News1 is revealing: “Only in the past decade or so have people begun to study in detail what happens to organisms after […]
ID Kills Darwin with Kindness in Town Hall
January 29, 2006
Exclusive The Darwinists may have gotten the headlines with their lawsuit to stop intelligent design in a local high school (see 01/19/2006 story), but the townspeople of Frazier Park, California showed warm support for ID in person. A town hall advertised in the local paper and sponsored by one of the area churches packed out […]
Nobody Nose What Dino Crest Was For
January 28, 2006
Some duck-billed dinosaurs, like the Lambeosaur, had tall bony crests. No one is quite sure what these odd appendages were used for. David Evans (U of Toronto) decided to test the theory that they were for enhancing the sense of smell, reported Bjorn Carey in LiveScience. Evans created the first brain cast of a Lambeosaur, […]
Darwin Acid Eats Literature
January 27, 2006
A potent acid has fallen on the bookshelf, eating away the minds and intentions of its characters, dissolving romances and adventures into a hideous morass of uniform consistency. Prominent evolutionist Daniel Dennett, author of Darwin’s Dangerous Idea, wrote that evolution is like a “universal acid” that cannot be contained in its scientific vial. […]
Evolutionary Theory: Verified or Vilified?
January 26, 2006
Jeffrey Schwartz has reason to be happy that his particular theory of evolution received some support recently, according to a press release from University of Pittsburgh. But look at the pedestal he is standing on: the ruins of classical Darwinism and neo-Darwinism. In supporting his own theory, he kicked out the props from under standard […]
Darwin Dissed in His Own Homeland
January 26, 2006
One would think Brits would cherish their guru Darwin, but he didn’t come out all that well in a poll, reports BBC News. More than half the population doesn’t believe in the theory of evolution, results showed, and 39% said either creation or intelligent design best explains their view on the origin and development of […]
Lawsuit Halts ID in Philosophy Class: Will it Backfire?
January 25, 2006
Exclusive Picture this: a small community high school nestled in the mountains far north of the big city of Los Angeles. A gentle, silver-haired schoolteacher who wouldn’t hurt a fly, who coaches soccer, loves teenagers and takes her time-consuming and non-lucrative job, which she has done for many years, seriously, and is well liked by […]
Human Evolution: Clear as Mud
January 24, 2006
Evolutionists speak of our descent from apes with an air of confidence and certainty, but connecting the dots requires a bit of artistic license. Here are some examples of how any data, no matter how puzzling, can be made to fit the Darwinian picture. Stretchy Clocks: A famous painting by Salvador Dali portrayed clocks draped […]

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.
