Genetic Variation, Limited
Frank L. Marsh, Ph.D.
Among organisms, living
and fossil, two striking phenomena exist, namely genetic variation within,
(microevolution), and discontinuity (gaps) between basic types. A biological
principle of limited variation pervades: genetic variability in organisms
can go no farther than to produce new variants within already existing
basic types. No exception has been demonstrated.
Electric Explanation Of Inertial
Thomas G. Barnes, D.Sc.
All bodies ar assumed to
consist of electric charges. The inertial reaction force acting backwards
on an accelerated body is shown to be a magnetically induced electric
force acting on the charges. Inertial mass is then associated with that
reaction force and acceleration in accordance with Newton's second and
third laws. This deduction is considered to have potential in a possible
reinterpretation of the foundations of modern physics.
Natural Selection And The
Christian View Of Redemption
The theory of natural selection
is irreconcilable with the Christian view of redemption. According to
the theory of evolution, mankind and other species ahve common ancestors.
Natural selection occurred through a process of the survival of the
fittest, according to which species that were not sufficiently adapted
to the environments in which they lived wee unable to survive. The theory
of natural selection is dependent upon the assumption that there was
death in the world before the appearance of man and that death played
a part in the development of modern man, since man is a product of the
process of the survival of the fittest. Such a theory cannot be reconciled
with the Christian view of redemption, according to which: (1) man's
susceptibility to physical death was a result of the curse placed upon
him as a result of the fall, and (2) mankind has been released from
the effects of the curse, including physical death, through the resurrection
of Christ from the dead. If, as the theory of natural selection would
require, death existed before the appearance of man upon the earth and
man inherited mortality from his forbears, then it would be inconsistent
to maintain (1) that man's susceptibility to physical death was a result
of the curse, (2) that there is any redemption from physical death through
Christ, (3) that there will be a physical resurrection of the dead at
the end of the age and (4) that there was a physical resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead.
Roxanne L. Doherty
"If we accept the theory
of evolution, we must face the problem of the evolution of human language."
Many philosophers and researchers have approached this problem but no
one answer has been universally accepted. Philip Lieberman's conclusions
were presented in Palermo's book as probably correct - conclusions of
which I am skeptical. Using scientific evidence, I have attempted to
highlight his major errors, thereby showing that his suggetion of a
missing link in the evolution of language is unfounded.
Genetic Engineering: The
Kirby Anderson and Raymond
Although a great deal has
been said about the creation-evolution controversy, much less has been
written about the implications of evolutionary thinking. One area of
great concern is how evolutionary assumptions cloud our perception of
genetic engineering. It is the purpose of this paper to expose that
link and provide a Biblical base for evaluating genetic engineering.
The Flood On An Expanding Earth
Glenn R. Morton, M.S.
Born's lattice theory is
used to prove that a change in the permittivity of free space would
cause a differential expansion of the earth and allow for compressive
forces necessary to account for various geologic features.
