Christians give away Darwin's book with creationist intro
(November 20, 2009)
Evangelist Ray Comfort and actor Kirk Cameron joined 1200 other Christians Wednesday in distributing 170,000 copies of a special creationist edition of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species at 100 universities. This special edition features a 50-page introduction refuting Darwin's theory. The distribution date was brought forward by one day because atheists who dislike free speech threatened book burnings and other disruptions at the give-away.

U.N. says world needs fewer children to reduce global warming
(November 20, 2009)
The U.N. Population Fund has declared that having fewer children would help reduce so-called global warming … but added it is difficult to prove a connection between the two. [See Professor David Bellamy's 2004 article labeling global warming as 'poppycock'.]

Bullying linked to eating disorders
(November 19, 2009)
Researchers from Beat, a charity that deals with eating disorders, interviewed 600 16-25-year-olds with eating disorders. They found that 91% said they had been bullied, and 46% said they believed that bullying had contributed to their eating disorder.

Several homosexual newspapers close their doors
(November 18, 2009)
Employees of numerous homosexual newspapers have arrived for work lately to find the doors locked. A note on the door explains their jobs no longer exist becasue of bankruptcy. Peter LaBarbera of Americans for Truth about Homosexuality says he is not surprised by the closings, because the secular media are doing a better job of promoting the homosexual agenda.

Aquarium films world's first photos of young coelacanths
(November 18, 2009)
A team from an aquarium in Japan has filmed juvenile coelacanths, a fish regarded commonly as a living fossil, off Indonesia's Sulawesi Island. [Interestingly, despite the claims that the coelacanth is a “prehistoric” fish, allegedly dating back hundreds of millions of years, the oldest known coelacanth is the same as those filmed today. See our article Coelacanths have not evolved!]

Schoolgirls more worried about looking good than getting good grades
(November 18, 2009)
One in three schoolgirls is more worried about looking good in class than getting decent grades, researchers have found. One in four of the 3000 girls who were polled said they believed good looks would get them further in life than good exam results.

How Hitler and the Nazis tried to get Christ out of Christmas
(November 17, 2009)
The Nazi Party tried their best to remove Christ from Christmas by paganising carols, producing glittering swastika, iron cross and toy grenade baubles for the fir tree, research for a new exhibition has found. “I always thought that Unto Us a Time Has Come was a song about wandering through winter snow,” said Heidi Bertelson, 42, a lawyer who visited the exhibit. “I didn't realise that Christ had been excised.”

Hypnosis effect can be seen on brain scans
(November 16, 2009)
Hypnosis has a very real effect that can be picked up on brain scans, say Hull University researchers. Hypnosis is increasingly being used to help people stop smoking or lose weight and advisers recently recommended its use to treat irritable bowel syndrome. [See also our article Hypnosis for Christians: Right or wrong?]

Catholic Church threatens Washington over same-sex marriage
(November 14, 2009)
The Archdiocese of Washington, D.C., says it will cease its charitable services in the city if a proposed ordinance to allow same-sex marriages isn't changed, Newsmax reports. And so far, most city council members are resisting the Catholic Church's demand.

Muslim burqas have no place in France, French President says
(November 13, 2009)

(November 12, 2009)

(November 12, 2009)
Want to keep a relationship strong? Here are 33 ways to say “I love you” — from a couples conference in New Jersey.

Missing link dinosaur discovered
(November 11, 2009)
The headline above is not ours — it's from BBC News. But the story is not about how dinosurs allegedly evolved into birds or evolved from some non-dinosaur. It's simply about a dinosaur that was bipedal but occasionally walked on all four legs. So let's see … it's the missing link that shows dinosaurs evolved into dinosaurs. Amazing!

Judge rejects Planned Parenthood injunction request
(November 10, 2009)
Pro-life forces are celebrating a judge's refusal to give Planned Parenthood an injunction preventing a former branch director from talking about her experiences before she quit to become a pro-life activist.

Questions kids ask that baffle parents
(November 9, 2009)
A survey of 3000 parents found that 52% regularly have trouble answering questions from their young children. Brain-teasers like “How is rain made?” and “Why is the sea salty?” are said to be the most embarrassing, because parents think they should know the answer.

Tough love is good for your children
(November 8, 2009)
Children brought up according to “tough love” principles are more successful in life, according to a study. The researchers found that children aged 5 with “tough love” parents were twice as likely to show good character capabilities. Report author Jen Lexmond said: “It is confidence, warmth and consistent discipline that matter most.”

Comics improve child literacy
(November 6, 2009)
A University of Illinois expert in children's literature says that comics are just as sophisticated as other forms of literature, and children benefit from reading them at least as much as they do from reading other types of books. Carol L. Tilley, a professor of library and information science at Illinois, says that reading any work successfully, including comics, requires more than just assimilating text, and comics are at least as good for kids as other types of reading.

Abortion further linked to depression and anxiety
(November 6, 2009)
A New Zealand study that says abortion puts women at increased risk of anxiety and depression is the latest in a long line of scientific reports that reach the same conclusion, said leaders of the Silent No More Awareness Campaign today.

Eating quickly may make you fat
(November 5, 2009)
A new study has found that eating a meal quickly, as compared to slowly, hinders the release of hormones in the gut that induce feelings of being full. This can often lead to overeating, and consequently to putting on weight. [See also our article Easy ways to lose weight for overweight teens.]

European court bans crucifixes in Italian schools; angers Pope
(November 4, 2009)
The Vatican has denounced a ruling by the European court of human rights that said the display of crucifixes in Italian public schools violates religious and education freedoms. Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi said the crucifix was a fundamental sign of the importance of religious values in Italian history and culture and was a symbol of unity and welcoming for all of humanity — not one of exclusion.

Planned Parenthood leader resigns after watching ultrasound of abortion procedure
(November 3, 2009)
A director of Planned Parenthood in Texas has left the abortion-supporting organization she has worked for over 8 years and has joined the opposition — the pro-life group Coalition for Life. Abby Johnson told the KBTX television station that Planned Parenthood wanted more abortions performed because the downturn in the economy had affected the organization. After watching an ultrasound of an abortion she said “I can't do this any more,” and she felt the burden and guilt leave her. [See our article for teens Why Christians oppose abortion.]

Since April, 114 children have died from swine flu, but 700,000 have died from abortion
(November 3, 2009)
A CDC report released last Friday placed the death toll from H1N1 at 114 for persons aged 18 or younger. Meanwhile, in a 2008 Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, the CDC said that in 2005, the most recent year for which abortion data is available, 820,151 legal abortions were reported from 49 reporting areas. [See our article for teens Why Christians oppose abortion.]

Churches welcome gay bans
(November 2, 2009)
Charities and religious groups in Australia could discriminate against gay people or anyone else who might offend their values after a landmark decision quashed a finding in favor of a gay couple who wanted to become foster parents. The couple were refused access to the Wesley Mission's foster care agency because they are homosexual. They took their case to the Administrative Decisions Tribunal and were awarded $10,000 and the Wesley Mission told to change its practices so it didn't discriminate. The charity appealed and a highly critical appeal panel overturned the decision and has ordered the original tribunal to hear the case again.

Evolution: A theory headed for extinction?
(October 31, 2009)
Science researcher Guy Berthault says Darwinism looks like it is finally coming to an end. He says it is so full of faulty science that it should have come to an end long ago, but he believes the cracks in the theory are now getting too large to keep patching up.

Obama signs gay hate crimes measure
(October 29, 2009)
The homosexual movement gained a barrier-breaking victory October 28 when President Obama signed into law a measure extending hate-crimes protections to homosexuals and transgender people, Baptist Press reports. Advocates of freedom of religion and speech, as well as of the biblical view of sexuality, expressed dismay at the development, even though they oppose violence against homosexuals. They fear the measure, combined with existing law, could expose to prosecution Christians and others who proclaim the Bible's teaching that homosexual behavior is sinful.

Wikipedia removes Bible article
(October 29, 2009)
The information-rich website Wikipedia has removed an article about a forthcoming Bible translation. The translation's publishers responded by publishing the removed article on their own website. Wikipedia's strength is that it has a large part of the world as its contributors. Its weakness is that biographies and technical subjects may be rewritten by anyone, including people who know nothing about the subject or are totally opposed to it.

Playing a musical instrument makes you smarter
(October 27, 2009)
Regularly playing a musical instrument changes the way your brain works and can make you smarter, researchers claim. From their study, they say there is growing evidence that musicians have structurally and functionally different brains compared with non-musicians.

Scientologists convicted of fraud in France
(October 27, 2009)
A French court has convicted the Church of Scientology of fraud, but stopped short of banning the group from operating in France, BBC news reported. The case centered on a complaint by a woman who says she was pressured into paying large sums of money after being offered a free personality test.

Ida fossil not a missing link after all
(October 23, 2009)
The exceptionally well-preserved fossil primate known as Ida is not a missing link as some have claimed, according to an analysis in the journal Nature. Despite sensational claims a few months ago that Ida was “the first link to all humans”, the study by Erik Seiffert, from Stony Brook University, has effectively removed Ida from our ancestry. (See also our article about Ida published in May, which said much the same thing as Erik Seiffert.)

Modern men are wimps
(October 23, 2009)
Our ancestors were much stronger than today's men, says the author of a new book on anthropology. PhysOrg reported on a book by Peter McAllister that says today's males don't measure up physically to their counterparts even a century ago, let alone those in the Roman empire and earlier. Creation Safaris notes that Darwinian anthropology creates a mindset that we are evolving upward from the apes. That runs diametrically opposed to the Biblical worldview that says creation was perfect at the beginning, but was cursed and is running downhill. Old Testament people lived for centuries.

Abortion kills more black Americans than the seven leading causes of death combined
(October 23, 2009)
Abortion kills more black Americans than the seven leading causes of death combined, according to data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for 2005, the latest year for which the abortion numbers are available. Abortion killed at least 203,991 blacks in the 36 states and two cities (New York City and the District of Columbia) that reported abortions by race in 2005, according to the CDC. During that same year 198,385 blacks nationwide died from heart disease, cancer, strokes, accidents, diabetes, homicide, and chronic lower respiratory diseases combined. (See also our article Why Christians oppose abortion.)

Public losing interest in global warming
(October 22, 2009)
A policy analyst with The Heritage Foundation says the American public is losing interest in global warming. According to Heritage Foundation senior policy analyst Ben Lieberman, “Polling shows that the public does not buy global warming, [and] certainly doesn't buy it as a crisis justifying a blank check expensive response in the midst of a recession and 10% unemployment,” Lieberman says.

Website of filmmakers who challenge global warming gets attacked after premiere
(October 20, 2009)
After the documentary Not Evil Just Wrong premiered worldwide on Sunday via the internet and premiere parties, the film's website suffered an attack and was down most of the day. The documentary tackles climate change and environmental legislation while exposing what husband-and-wife producers Ann McElhinney and Phelim Mcaleer believe is the anti-human agenda behind it.

Atheists trying to stop church from meeting in park
(October 19, 2009)
The Freedom from Religion Foundation, an atheist group, is trying to stop Celebration Beach Church in Florida from holding services in a park. Pastor Gene Scott told WINK News the church has done so for eight years, sometimes with more than 1,000 people in attendance. The church has had a five-year lease to meet in the park, and pays the same as everyone else. [Free speech for all. Except for Christians.]

Dodgy churches in Africa torture kids denounced as witches
(October 19, 2009)
Thousands of children in Africa are being forced to drink acid and have other atrocities done to them because some local churches accuse them of witchcraft. Pastors have been involved in almost 50% of cases. In many cases the children suffer horrendously, or are killed, by naive family members.

Reptile fossils solve mystery of how pterosaurs evolved from pterosaurs
(October 17, 2009)
Twenty fossils of pterosaurs found in China earlier this year are claimed to solve a mystery of pterosaur evolution. Long-tailed pterosaurs are known, and short-tailed pterosaurs are known, but these fossils apparently had medium-sized tails, and are claimed to be examples of one evolving into the other. [Pssst! Pterosaurs evolving into pterosaurs isn't evidence for evolution — merely evidence that different types of pterosaurs have existed.]

Somali Islamists whip women for wearing bras
(October 17, 2009)
Somalia's hardline Islamist group al Shabaab has publicly whipped women for wearing bras that allegedly violate Islam by constituting a deception, north Mogadishu residents say. The insurgent group, which seeks to impose a strict form of sharia Islamic law throughout Somalia, amputated a foot and a hand each from two young men accused of robbery earlier this month. They have also banned movies, musical ringtones, dancing at wedding ceremonies and playing or watching soccer. Free speech is not regarded as a priority for al Shabaab.

U.S. Appeals Court urged to dismiss “so help me God” lawsuit
(October 16, 2009)
The American Center for Law and Justice is asking a federal appeals court to uphold the dismissal of a lawsuit challenging the phrase “so help me God” in the presidential inaugural oath and in prayers at the inauguration ceremony. Last January a federal district court had rejected a lawsuit that had been filed by 30 plaintiffs, including California atheist Michael Newdow, who previously attempted to remove “under God” from public schools' recitals of the U.S. Pledge of Allegiance. Free speech is apparently not regarded highly by many atheists.

Archaeologists rethink how a 1st-century crucified man was nailed to the cross
(October 16, 2009)
The 1968 discovery of the remains of a 1st-century crucified man in a cave at Giv'at ha-Mivtar in Israel created interest among biblical and archaeological scholars. Early analysis of the body suggested the victim's heels had been nailed together sideways on the cross. A later analysis revealed that the two heels had not been nailed together, but separately to either side of the upright post of the cross. The bones give clear evidence of first century AD Roman crucifixion.

Canadian university students show contempt for unborn babies
(October 15, 2009)
A pro-life student group called Choose Life has lost its funding from the Student Society of McGill University in Canada because pro-abortionists voted to stifle it. Pro-abortion students recently disrupted a Choose Life event on the campus, and shortly after this voted to refuse funding to the group. Free speech is apparently not regarded as important to some abortion-supporting students at McGill.

Creationist Origin of Species campaign enrages atheists
(October 14, 2009)
An angry backlash from atheists trying to stifle the free speech of Christians has prompted best-selling author Ray Comfort to stop answering questions about a special edition of Charles Darwin's Origin of Species he plans to give away on university campuses. Free speech is apparently for everyone but Christians.

Dawkins refuses to debate Intelligent Design scholars
(October 14, 2009)
Atheist Richard Dawkins has refused to debate Dr. Stephen C. Meyer, a prominent advocate of intelligent design. Dr. Meyer challenged Dawkins to a debate when he saw that their speaking tours would cross paths in Seattle and New York. Dawkins declined through his publicists, saying he does not debate “creationists.” Denyse O'Leary said on the Uncommon Descent website of Dawkins: “After he stopped doing serious science and unwisely became a 'professor of the public understanding of science', due to the unwise beneficence of a Microsoft billionaire, Dawkins committed himself to more and more completely ridiculous positions: The selfish gene and the meme are part of the story.”

Flip-flopper governor signs homosexual “Harvey Milk” bill
(October 13, 2009)
California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a law designating May 22 as “Harvey Milk Day” for public school students. Harvey Milk, the first openly homosexual member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, was murdered in 1978 while in office. Randy Thomasson of SaveCalifornia.com tells OneNewsNow that in light of the governor's signature on SB 572, schools in The Golden State are now a source for homosexual indoctrination.

Principal tells boy: Strip off 'insulting' pro-life shirt
(October 12, 2009)
A Christian middle-school student is suing his school district after a principal ordered him to remove a T-shirt bearing the message “Abortion is not health care” on the day of President Obama's speech to schoolchildren. Free speech for all — except Christians.
