Abstracts are enclosed by [[ ]]. "Sequence stratigraphy and creation geology." by Carl Froede, Jr., B.S., P.G. pp. 138-147. [[ Sequence stratigraphy is the reconstruction and dating of sedimentary basins found locally, regionally, and worldwide. Creation scientists can use many of the concepts of sequence stratigraphy within the context of the Flood model. However, the use of time intervals is uniformitarian, incorporating evolutionary concepts, and is not acceptable. ]] "Incompleteness, creation-science, and man-made machines." by Robert A. Herrmann, Ph.D. pp. 148-152. [[ Mathematical arguments are presented showing that certain human mental processes cannot be duplicated by machines; the uniqueness of human thought is attributable to God himself. ]] "Age of the Arizona Meteor Crater." by Don B. DeYoung, Ph.D. pp. 153-158. [[ The Arizona Meteor Crater is the best preserved and also the most studied impact event on the earth. For many years there was lively debate over the origin mechanism, whether volcanic or impact. Other still-lingering questions concern the location and size of the actual meteorite, assuming an impact origin, and the time of the event. Date-of-origin evidence includes dendrochronology, rock erosion, radioactivity, and thermoluminescence. Published results have varied drastically between 800-2,000 years ago for the time of the crater's formation. This study critiques the various chronology estimates, illustrating the inherent uncertainty of dating techniques. ]] "Those who live in glass houses stow no thrones." by Mark Armitage. pp. 167-170. [[ Evolution is held to be a purely random mechanism which operates by chance. The possibility of an intelligent designer is anathema to scientists who hold to the theory of evolution. To many, the presence of apparent design within the structure of biological organisms is purely coincidental, and may even be attribute to the organizational properties of matter itself. The presence of three dimensionally symmetrical geometrical shapes such as squares and triangles is demonstrated, implying that an intelligent designer was behind the manufacture of biological diversity. ]] "The creation account -- the evidence from what is not there." by Jerry Bergman, Ph.D., pp. 174-181. [[ A review of the scientific beliefs relative to origins demonstrates a considerable contrast between the ancient cosmological theories and the Genesis record. This contrast reveals that Genesis managed to avoid all the erroneous ideas held by the most respected thinkers and philosophers of the pre- Christian era. With the advantage of accumulated data and wisdom, we are far better able to evaluate the simple straightforward account in Genesis. The author discusses implications of the contrast between Genesis and the ancient cosmological beliefs which we now see as totally erroneous. ]] OTHER SELECTED FEATURES: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ PANORAMA -------- = Much thinner Laurentide Ice during the ice age (Michael J.
