"Nineteenth Century Darwinism and the Tasmanian Genocide." by Jerry
Bergman, Ph.D., pp. 190-196.
[[ It was widely believed in the nineteenth century that the
Tasmanians were a living link between modern humans and their primate
ancestors. Given the presupposition of naturalistic evolution, the
Tasmanian people were often seen as less than human and, consequently,
many people felt it was not wrong or immoral to treat them like
animals. Today it is concluded that htey were a distinct racial group
similar to the Australian Aborigines that possessed a unique culture
and were fully human. This event is only one of many examples of the
numerous tragedies that evolutionary naturalism has produced in modern
times. ]]
"Dougherty Gap: Evidence for a Turbidity Current Paleoenvironment" by
Carl R. Froede, Jr., B.S., P.G., and Jack H. Cowart, M.S., P.G., pp.
202-214.
[[ A trace fossil exposure located at Dougherty Gap, Walker County,
Georgia, provides an excellent opportunity to evaluate existing
physical information, and compare a uniformitarian interpretation and
a young-earth Flood interpretation for that site. This examination
reveals that a turbidity current depositional environment better
explains the stratigraphic record found at this site than does the
proposed uniformitarian prograding delta model. Additionally, a
turbidity current depositional environment fits within both the
expected depositional environment and the timeframes of the young-
earth Flood model. ]]
= "A Biblical Christian Framework for Earth History Research:
Introduction to the Series." by John K. Reed and Carl R. Froede, Jr.,
B.S., P.G., pp. 228-229.
[[ This is an introduction to a series of papers to appear in
forthcoming issues of the CRSQ. These papers, written by professional
geologists, will trace a logical sequence of steps for the development
of a young-earth approach to earth history studies. ]]

EDITORS' COMMENTS (p. 189)
-----------------
Our "publication year" will begin anew with the next CRSQ
issue - June 1996. Please assure its arrival by renewing your
membership/subscription - see the enclosed form and note the slightly
revised cost schedule, page 188.
This March issue is the end of another volume and we
gratefully reflect on the large number of capably written scientific
articles and other features that have gone to press. This last issue
contains a low number of articles but it is freighted with book
reviews and letters in an attempt on our part to get up-to-date with
these. We hope readers benefit from such shorter features because
each one supplies a clear glimpse into important aspects of the
creation-evolution controversy.
In this issue we once again thank Lane Lester and Brenda
Lindley-Anderson for gracing the Quarterly with a Copy-n-Share
centerpiece. The center four pages can be removed as one sheet and
printed in large numbers for distribution to young readers. We hope
this will aid in promoting scientific creationism. We also hope its
application information and book advertisements will attract young
readers to creationist literature that can bring balance to their
slanted educational fare.
Does the library of your alma mater subscribe to CRSQ? Would
the readers consider donating a subscription to CRSQ for the library
of their alma mater? We suggest that an extra issue be ordered from
the membership secretary and mailed to the librarian of the college or
institution. A cover letter could be included explaining that CRSQ is
a peer-reviewed scientific publication, and that as an alumnus of the
institution you would like to donate a year's subscription, provided
the library will shelve and archive the journal when it is received.
We believe that the benefits to library patrons will be well worth the
expense and effort involved.
Eugene Chaffin, Ph.D., and George Howe, Ph.D.
