THE ADULT COMMON FROG RANA TEMPORARIA L.: A LINKOLOGICAL
EVALUATION
GERALD H. DUFFETT
Fossils of allegedly ancient frogs show that adult frogs have always
resembled frogs. Therefore, the bulk of this article considers evidence
which is intra-somatic and ecological, rather than comparative and evolutionary.
It is based firmly upon Biblical principles and has potential, which
only computers can help biologists to achieve in the quest for the full
appreciation of the 'design-linkage,' that is the observed evidence
for Special Creation.Although water appeared before dry land, creationists
may safely assume that adult frogs were formed first and not spawn or
tadpole stages.
THE CARBON PROBLEM
GLENN R. MORTON
The sheer quantity of carbon in the form of coal and oil, in the earth's
crust, seems to offer problems for any young-earth view of origins.
Here possible solutions are considered, in particular, the possibility
of an at least partly abiogenic origin, and the possibility that the
deposition continued for some time after the year of the Flood. There
is also the question of carbon in the form of carbonates, which needs
some consideration.
THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF WORDS AND THE ALPHABET
ERICH A. von FANGE
Just as long-buried artifacts can provide clues about the history
of their former owners, so languages, and the symbols with which they
are written, can help to throw light onto ancient matters. It is noted
that there is no trace of an evolutionary origin for the alphabet, any
more than there is for language. As is well known, many ancient peoples
used their alphabet also as a system of numerals. Moreover, there seem
to be connections between the alphabet and the calendar, which suggests
that the forms and arrangement of the letters owe something to astronomy.
THE WORD
ROBERT A. HERRMANN
This article gives a summary of completed research into some of the
logical processes required to accept and investigate such concepts as
Divine creation, the miraculous and continual sustaining of our present
developing universe. These logical concepts are directly related to
Scriptural quotations. By applying new and powerful tools from applied
mathematical logic it is established that all such concepts are absolutey
rational and follow describable rational patterns.
