Erosion
of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado
River
Part II--Review
of River Capture, Piping and Ancestral River Hypotheses and the Possible
Formation of Vast Lakes
Emmett
L. Williams, Ph.D., John R. Meyer, Ph.D., and Glen W. Wolfrom, Ph.D.
The importance
of the Muddy Creek Formation in the western terminus of the Grand Canyon,
implying no through-flowing river at the time of deposition of the formation,
is discussed. Piping, river capture and "ancestral" river
path hypotheses are reviewed. When possible, suggestions based on the
Flood model or after-effects of the Flood are offered.
Is the Genome
Sufficient, Where is the Design Information and What Limits Variation?
Robert E.
Kofahl, Ph.D.
Believers in
both evolution and creation seem to assume that the genome and perhaps
other physical structures of the cell are sufficient to code for all
structures and systems of each organism. Persuasive evidence indicates
this assumption to be erroneous. An alternative conceptual framework
for genetics is proposed.
The Family
Blattidae: An Example of "Evolutionary Stasis"
Bill Crofut,

The cockroach
is one of the more popular extant biological organisms available for
laboratory experimentation. It is identifiable in Carboniferous rock
strata which has an assigned evolutionary age of 280-345 million years.
Yet, the cockroach has an alleged phylogeny extending far back into
Paleozoic time. This article reviews and critiques current evolutionary
research and understanding.
Baked Rocks
Wilbert
H. Rusch, Sr., M.S.
Metamorphic
Rocks are either igneous or sedimentary rocks whose texture, composition
or appearance has been altered by heat and/or pressure. This process
is called metamorphism. Any one, or two or more characters may be affected.
Examples of metamorphism are: limestone changed to marble, sandstone
to quartzite, shale to argillite, and granite to gneiss. This article
describes some metamorphic observations in Colorado. It is written as
a field guide.
Isotope
Ratios and Variable Constants
Harold
Heinze, Ph.D.
Evidences and
possible mechanisms for variable nuclear half-lives are explored. The
basis for the definition of physical constants is examined.
Dividing
the Earth
J. Michael
Fischer, B.S.
A new theory
of continental separation is introduced in which it is advocated that
rapid division of a proto-continent occurred by the impact of a giant
meteorite east of what is now called Tanzania.
