Magnetic Fields In Medicine: Bone Repair
Kevin McLeod
Evidence is accumulating
which shows that magnetic fields may prove to have beneficial aspects
for human beings. This information is being used in medical research,
and therapeutic results obtained. Here some data are presented on one
example: the healing of fractures in bones.
There is evidence that the
earth's magnetic field may formerly have been greater than at present.
The implications of such a situation, particularly to the life spands
of the patriarchs, are discussed.
The Necessity Of The Canopies
Everett H. Peterson
There has been much discussion
of the possibilities, composition, and maintenance of a pre-Flood canopy
surrounding the earth. Venus space probes have shown a canopy to be
possible; for Venus has one. This paper discusses the data that not
only wa the canopy possible but that it was a necessity. It was necessary
before the Flood to produce the climatic conditions the Bible describes
for that time. When that canopy was emptied its water became the erosional
force that produced the sediments that formed the sedimentary rock.
A restored canopy was necessary after the Flood to produce the climatic
conditions that made Oregon's weather tropical and that allowed mammoths
to lieve at the Arctic Circle. When that canopy was emptied it produced
the ice age and froze and preserved the mammoths.
Solution And Deposition Of
Calcium Carbonate In A Laboratory Situation IV
Emmett L. Williams, Ph.D.,
Kenneth W. House, B.S., and Richard J. Herdklotz, Ph.D.
This is a final report in
a series of research investigations designed to determine the conditions
necessary to attain rapid precipitation of CaCO3 in the laboratory.
It is shown that rapid formation of deposits is possible utilizing a
decrease in pressure as limestone-laden waters emerge into the atmosphere.
The Hebrew Flood Even More
Devestating Than The English Translation Depicts
G. Russell Akridge, Ph.D.
The associated Hebrew words
and Hebrew usages that appear in the Genesis flood account are explained.
The titanic destruction and uniqueness, not adequately brought out in
the English translation, appear remarkably and deliberately emphasized
in the Hebrew.
Is Language An Exclusive
Ability Of Man?
Jerry Bergman, Ph.D.
One result of the acceptance
of the evolutionary theory is a belief that the gap between man and
the lower primates is much less than previously supposed. When it was
believed by most scientists that man was a direct creation by God, man
was seen to be clearly distinct and different. Evolution on the contrary,
stresses a continuity between the lowest form of life and the highest.
Evolutionary theory ahs permeated virtually all of the sciences, and
humanities, and even the study of language ability. For many years,
it was accepted that language ability was unique to man and, that, biologically,
animals do not have the brain structure or the speech mechanism needed
to use language. This idea has been challenged for the past decade or
so. New research, though, indicates that the older view, i.e. that there
is a chasm between man and the animals regarding language ability, is
probably correct.
Is The Ability To Use Language
Uniquely Human?
John W. Klotz, Ph.D.
More and more evidence is
appearing to show that the claims to have taught apes a language, which
were heard so commonly a few years ago, are at least premature, and
most likely unfounded. It still appears that language is an exclusively
human ability.
Which Woody Plants Grow Where
At The Grand Canyon
George F. Howe, Ph.D.
This paper is a hiker's
list of trees and shrubs at key places along certain of the South Rim
trails a the Grand Canyon National Park. It also contains discussions
of several patterns of distribution found among Grand Canyon woody plants;
and these patterns are interpreted historically from the standpoint
of scientific creationism and flood geology. Some hints at distinguishing
between pairs of plants that resemble each other are also included.
