"A review of exobiogenesis theories." by Jerry Bergman, Ph.D.
pp. 204-213.
[[ Many evolutionists have concluded that all existing
naturalistic origin of life hypotheses are highly untenable.
Consequently, some prominent evolutionists have hypothesized an
alternate origin of life theory called exobiogenesis, or the
theory that life evolved elsewhere in the universe and was
carried to earth. Those who reject both the theistic world view
and the possibility of abiogenesis on the ancient earth must
assume that conditions existed elsewhere in the solar system or
the universe which were more favorable for the origin of life or
biological molecules. Recognizing that conditions on earth
historically precluded the spontaneous origin of life forces
exploring exobiogenesis to maintain the naturalistic world view.
This view has also motivated the reintroduction of an intelligent
design theory called directed panspermia. Nowhere does the
literature reveal as vividly the impossibility of a naturalistic
origin of life on the earth than in this field. The fact that an
entirely hypothetical scenario has been proposed in a theory
which is supported by virtually no empirical evidence forces a
review of the major exobiogenesis theories. ]]
"Stone Mountain, Georgia: A creation geologist's perspective." by
Carl R. Froede, Jr., B.S., P.G. pp. 214-224.
[[ Stone mountain has an exposed granitic pluton, located in
Northeast Georgia. Uniformitarian estimates suggest that the
granite was intruded into overlying metamorphic rocks during the
last stages of the Alleghenian Orogeny. Later the mountain became
exposed at the earth's surface. The uniformitarian model for the
formation of Stone Mountain remains unsolved. This paper presents
an interpretation, using the young earth Flood model, for the
origin of Stone Mountain which would predict its formation and
exposure during the Flood event. ]]
"Fossil wood of Big Bend National Park, part IV: Wood structure,
nodules, paleosols, and climate." by E.L. Williams, Ph.D.; G.F.
Howe, Ph.D.; G.T. Matzko, Ph.D.; R.B. White, B.A.; and W.G.
Stark, A.S. pp. 225-232.
[[The various charcoalified and petrified wood samples collected
from the Dawson Creek region of the Big Bend National Park were
examined optically and by scanning electron microscopy. Possible
past climatic change in the Big Bend region is discussed.]]
"Physiological evidence for creation." by D.A. Kaufmann, Ph.D.
pp. 239-246.
[[A brief review of the academic discipline of physiology is
given, including a discussion of similarities: 1) of design and
function in organelles and organs; 2) between the negative
feedback mechanisms of the heating-cooling systems of our houses
and of our bodies; and 3) of the homeostatic functions of a giant
airport and our body's hormonal system. Six body systems are
examined with respect to their precise, purposeful functions. A
look at the evolutionary beliefs of physiologists, and at
vitalism versus mechanism reveals that evolutionism is on
unstable foundations. The exceptional arrangement and precise
operation of its physiological systems clearly indicate that the
human body was created by a Divine Designer, and raise serious
doubts about whether such systems could have arisen by chance.]]
