The central point of C-E Headlines is:

Conservative Science = the observation to assumption ratio is small and reasonable.
Liberal Science = the observation to assumption ratio is large and unreasonable.

Shoot lower and overcome the desire to prop up evolution, it is more logical ya know, and your science will require less tweaking.

The central point of C-E Headlines is:

... that every little stumble and bump proves mainstream [geology, astronomy, cosmology, biology, paleontology, physics, whatever] to be all a house of cards. This is a faulty premise held for reasons apart from science.

The house of cards that is creationism collapsed in the 19th century. It's never going to be consistent with the data we have now, no matter what happens from here.

You don't get science. It will always require tweaking. It's never over.

The young-earth propositiion has some very serious headaches, but it really gets tiresome to listen to the scientific establishment's lust for absolutist language.

Our kids are never told that the earth is "possibly," "probably," "likely," or "appears to be" 4.6 billion years old. They are told it is 4.6 billion years old. How can you, with credibility, teach kids that "'science' is open to correction" unless you use contingent language---at least once in awhile?
