"Not so blind a watchmaker." by Richard D. Lumsden, Ph.D. pp.
13-22.
[[Structural and operational principles underlying the
organization of the vertebrate retina and bacterial flagellar
apparatus are reviewed in the context of William Paley's
classic intelligent designer vs. Richard Dawkins' contemporary
"blind watchmaker" interpretations of biological origins and
diversity. The significance of inverted retinal microanatomy
and retinocytophysiology is diagnosed. In the process,
Dawkins' riposte to Paley is refuted. The second example is
more contemporary. In terms of biophysical complexity, the
bacterial rotor-flagellum is without precedent in the living
world. To the micromechanicians of industrial research and
development operations, it has become an inspirational,
albeit formidable challenge to the best efforts of current
technology, but one ripe with potential for profitable
application. To evolutionists, the system presents an enigma;
to creationists, it offers clear and compelling evidence of
purposeful intelligent design.]]
"The evolution of geological origins theories: part 1 -- the
Haymond interbeds, Marathon Basin, Texas." by George F. Howe,
Ph.D., and Emmett L. Williams, Ph.D. pp. 25-31.
[[In this paper we demonstrate that rock sections, settling
tank experiments, fossil reevaluations, and paradigm changes
have been the basis for producing several different and
conflicting theories concerning the origin of interbedded
sandstone and shale strata known as the Haymond flysch. We
show that when new models arise, old geological explanations
may still remain viable. Debate and uncertainty ultimately
prevail and this is perhaps the way it ought to be, since no
one can observe ancient origins.]]
"Anatomical evidence for creation: design in the human body."
by David A. Kaufmann, Ph.D. pp. 35-41.
[[The human body is designed for precise, efficient
functioning. In our human realm, creative inventors and
engineers design and develop simple and complex machines that
perform work more efficiently. A review of examples of pulley
systems, wheels and axles, friction-reducing sacs within joints
and compression/tension abilities of bones in the human body is
presented. The functional superiority of the human brain over
lower animals is cited. Since designs infer a designer, an
unbiased observer would have great difficulty denying the
rationality of inferring that these highly designed mechanisms
in the human body had to be designed by an outside, suprahuman
intelligent agent (Logos), the Creator.]]
"The effect of Charles Darwin on the English Victorian writer,
Thomas Henry Huxley." by Jay E. Long, Ed.D. pp. 42-43.
[[The writing of Charles Darwin on evolution had a profound
effect on the writings of some of the English Victorian
writers, especially Thomas Henry Huxley. This article presents
a brief summary of that effect.]]
"Pine Creek Gorge, the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania: an
introductory creationist study." by Emmett L. Williams, Ph.D.,
Eugene F. Chaffin, Ph.D., Robert M. Goette, Ph.D. and John R.
Meyer, Ph.D. pp. 44-59.
[[The origin of Pine Creek Gorge in Pennsylvania is discussed
from a young earth perspective as well as from a uniformitarian
viewpoint. Field work in the region of the gorge is presented.
Uniformitarian and creationist conjectures on the formation of
the Appalachian Plateau, where the gorge is located, are
reviewed.]]
