Unjustified Authority http://www.creationresearch.org This Book Is Dedicated To those who, in their search for truth, ignore unjustified authority in the field of science and keep their sincere minds alert to the recognition of facts regardless of where these may lead in the matter of conclusions. THIS IS A TIME of decision for the races of men. Social forces are at work testing whether individual liberty and freedom shall perish under the iron shod heel of the dictator or maintain their place in the sun through valiant battle. Both wishful thinking and material evidence assure us that man may still expect to enjoy his own house as his private castle and his own thought mechanism as the arbiter of his philosophy. Some of the threatening forces are offensively obtrusive mid generally recognized. Other enthralling elements are less generally recognized, although likewise plainly visible. The former components, largely political, are already being attended to by millions. The particular force of the latter group, to which this volume is addressed is nonpolitical and exists in the realm of natural science. It concerns freedom of thought and opinion in the matter of biological theories. In order to bring this force into the clear, let us outsider for a moment some animate object in our immediate environment. Because of his familiarity, let us select the common tree squirrel. For a number of reasons this squirrel is an intriguing animal. He may arouse our displeasure by showing a liking for things which we wish for ourselves, or he may draw our admiration through his lively actions and chic and mischievous appearance. Some see in him merely an object of the passing moment. Others observe the numerous adaptations he shows for his life in the trees, such as his quick eye, his supple muscles, his fine sense of balance, his facile feet with their all-important claws, and his flexible tail. This specific adequacy for his environment arouses questions in the minds of many observers which lead to long and careful study. This study will result in the formulation of a certain philosophy of life with regard to the tree squirrel. Although we live in an age of great complexity in which division and subdivision of everything are omnipresent, still, in regard to these philosophies, it is refreshing to find that they all fall into one or the other of two groups. The observer’s philosophy will either explain the nimbleness and alacrity of the squirrel in the tree as the result of an evolutionary process through which the animal has developed from a simple, possibly one-celled form into this efficient complexity, or will assume that the squirrel was created a squirrel by a Supreme Intelligence who shaped him to fit nicely into the arboreal environment. We would like to think that a man is free to hold to one or the other of these philosophies with impunity as concerns the judgments and harsh opinions of his fellow beings. However, such is not the case. There has developed in recent years among our scientists an attitude of mind which amounts to a considerable force at certain times in certain situations. This-attitude is epitomized in the following quotation from H. H. Newman: “There is no rival hypothesis [to evolution] except the outworn and completely refuted one of special creation, now retained only by the ignorant, the dogmatic, and the prejudiced.” [1] Newman has kept the statement in the several editions of this book later than the one cited here. He evidently is sincere in his conclusion. A similar statement made by another zoologist while referring to what he considered a “pessimistic” view expressed by Bateson ( 1922) in the words, “the origin and nature of species remains utterly mysterious,” [2] runs as follows: “Be that as it may, the fact remains that among the present generation no informed person entertains any doubt of the validity of the evolution theory in the sense that evolution has occurred.” [3] Neither will we question the sincerity of this writer. It would seem that sincerity should always be admired, but when it assumes the mien of a dictatorial force directed against others, its merit is definitely questionable. To the casual reader these statements may appear quite harmless. But actually they evidence an attitude of mind among present-day scientists which is regrettable. It has been my opportunity to observe the effect of this attitude upon young scientists. Having studied for a number of years in a small private college, I had the privilege of continuing my studies over a period of eleven years in three universities in this country. My personal contacts with the scientists in these institutions were most pleasant and 2 EVOLUTION CREATION AND SCIENCE stimulating. However, during this experience I repeatedly observed the dissatisfaction in the minds of students over the existing “proof” for evolution. The thing which repeatedly won them over to acceptance of the theory was sheer weight of authority on the part of scientists through a not always highly refined method of browbeating. If the young aspirant was to keep face with the more seasoned scientists, he was obliged to accept the evolution theory. In more than one public institution of higher learning in this country the candidate for a higher degree in science must at least claim to hold to the evolution theory of origins before he is considered to possess an acceptable scientific attitude and to be of sufficient caliber to be admitted to the final examinations. I wish to say here to the praise of the institutions I attended that such narrow-mindedness was not shown in them. All that was required was that a man present justifiable reasons for his position. The lack of this truly scientific attitude among the scientific body in general is a deplorable situation. It is not so much premeditated and deliberate, I believe, as it is the natural result of a man in an all-absorbed manner gluing his eye to one very small portion of the natural world and becoming confused in the matter of what facts nature actually presents and what things, in the light of his theory, he wishes it would and believes it does present His ardor for his opinion then leads him to trample roughshod over any who may entertain opinions differing from his. Whether I am an evolutionist or a special creationist does not matter for the moment. The situation which warrants the appearance of another more or less philosophical book in the field of science is the prevalence of this unjustifiable worship of authority which is decaying the hardy manhood of modern scientists just as truly as it honeycombed individualism in medieval times. When reputable scientists speak to us of facts which they have observed we listen respectfully and appreciatively, but when one of them arises and tells us that some theory of origins has been so completely verified as to immediately mark any dissenter as an ignoramus, then his fellows should likewise arise and call his attention to the fact that lie is voicing an opinion on matters which even his experience and knowledge may not justify. When a man states his philosophy concerning such a subject as origins which may involve forces which it is impossible to measure accurately, and in the same breath brands anyone who holds a different philosophy as a vain pretender to knowledge, my Quaker and Huguenot forebears arise and beckon to me to say a word in justification of the opinions of the minority. The interests of truth demand a clear statement of this opinion even though such an elucidation is not a popular occupation in these days when knee bending to authority in matters concerning scientific theories of origins is the thing in order. Of the individual who keeps in mind the path that biological scientists have traveled during the twenty-two centuries since Aristotle (384-322 BC), a general mistrust of cocksureness of scientists over theories of origins is characteristic. Even a superficial perusal of this history reveals the relative nature of man’s conception of truth. A sad aspect of this matter is that we actually have no real ground for assurance that the modern conception of a self-designing and self-operating universe brings us any nearer to the correct explanation of the origin of life than did Aristotle’s conception of a divine intelligence which was responsible for law- bound existence. His philosophy seems to have satisfied the scientists of late antiquity, and it became a welcome ally to the pious aims of the medieval church. The latter found indications of similarity between it and the divine power of the Genesis record of creation and thus received an idea of the cause of the world, which was then held to be scientific.

This book documents the development of the creationist movement in the face of the growing tide of evolution. The bulk of the collection dates from the 20th century and covers most of the prominent, individual creationists and pro-creation groups of the late 19th and 20th century primarily in the United States, and secondarily, those in England, Australia, and Canada. Among the types of records included are photocopies of articles and other publications, theses, interview tapes and transcripts, and official publications of various denominations. One of the more valuable contributions of this collection is the large quantity of correspondence of prominent individuals. These records are all photocopies. A large section contains documentation related to Seventh-day Adventist creationists. Adventists were some of the leading figures in the creationist movement, and foremost among this group is George McCready Price. The Adventist Heritage Center holds a Price collection. The Numbers collection contributes additional correspondence and other documentation related to Price. Arrangement Ron Numbers organized this collection for the purpose of preparing his book manuscript, though the book itself is not organized in this way. Dr. Numbers suggested his original arrangement be retained. While the collection is arranged in its original order, the outline that follows may be of help to some researchers.

He is widely published in literature dealing with ornithology, behavioral ecology, and paleontology, and has contributed numerous articles to Adventist publications. His book, The Creation-Evolution Controversy: An Annotated Bibliography (Scarecrow Press, 1998), won a Choice award from the American Library Association. He also edited Creation Reconsidered (Association of Adventist Forums, 2000). Harold Willard Clark was an Adventist biologist who taught for many years at Pacific Union College. He became well known among Seventh-day Adventists through his writings that defended young-earth creationism and Flood geology. Early Life and Education Harold Willard Clark Harold W. Clark was born near Sherbrooke, Quebec, Photo from Wikimedia Commons. Canada, on November 6, 1891, the eldest of four siblings. Until Harold was six his parents, Homer and Sarah (nee Gladden) Clark, managed a farm near Sherbrooke. Eventually the family moved to a second farm near South Corinth, Vermont, where Harold spent most of his childhood and adolescence. There he learned to tend livestock, plant and harvest corn and potatoes, put up hay, care for a family garden, and make maple syrup. He also developed a love for nature, in part by reading through a botany textbook by Harvard professor Asa Gray. During the spring and summer of his sixteenth year he enjoyed learning the names of local wild plants, a passion that would occupy the rest of his life.1 Career in Education At sixteen Harold passed Vermont’s teachers’ examinations, and was certified to teach elementary school, which he did for the next year and a half.

  • Darwin Skeptics a Select List of Science Academics, Scientists, and Scholars Who Are Skeptical of Darwinism Compiled by Jerry Bergman Phd
    Darwin Skeptics A Select List of Science Academics, Scientists, and Scholars Who are Skeptical of Darwinism Compiled by Jerry Bergman PhD. http://www.rae.org/pdf/darwinskeptics.pdf , 24-8-2014 It is commonly claimed that no scientist rejects macroevolution or Darwinism (by which is meant evolutionary naturalism, or the view that variation caused by mutations plus natural selection accounts for all life forms). For example, Dr. Steve Jones, Professor of Genetics at University College of London, wrote that “no scientist denies the central truth of The Origin, the idea of descent with modification... plants, animals and everything else descended from a common ancestor” (Jones, 2000, pp. xvii, xxiii). Other writers avoid the words “all” or “no scientist” and claim instead that “almost no scientist” rejects Darwinism as defined above. In an article refuting “wiccan creationism,” the author claimed that evolutionary theory has been confirmed to such a high degree and has such great explanatory power that it is the central organizing principle of the biological sciences today. Modern biology is basically unthinkable outside of the context of evolution and that is why it is accepted without reservations by pretty much every working scientists [sic] in the life sciences. It also isn’t really questioned in the other natural sciences, either, like physics or chemistry. The author then makes the following absolutist statement: Evolution is taken as a fact—and while there might be disagreements about some of the details of how evolution proceeds, there are no disagreements about the idea that it does occur and that it is the explanation for the diversity of life on our planet.

He is widely published in literature dealing with ornithology, behavioral ecology, and paleontology, and has contributed numerous articles to Adventist publications. His book, The Creation-Evolution Controversy: An Annotated Bibliography (Scarecrow Press, 1998), won a Choice award from the American Library Association. He also edited Creation Reconsidered (Association of Adventist Forums, 2000). Clifford Leslie Burdick, a Seventh-day Adventist consulting geologist, was an outspoken defender of young earth creationism and involved in the search for Noah’s Ark. Many of his claims were sensationalist and later discredited. Early Life and Education Born in 1894, Burdick was a graduate of the Seventh Day Baptist Milton College of Wisconsin. After accepting the Seventh-day Adventist message, Burdick enrolled at Emmanuel Missionary College (EMC, now Andrews University) in hopes of becoming a missionary. There he met the prominent creationist George McCready Price who inspired Burdick’s Clifford Leslie Burdick. interest in “Flood geology.”1 From Youth's Instructor, July 11, 1967 In 1922 Burdick submitted a thesis to EMC entitled “The Sabbath: Its Development in America,” which he later claimed earned him a Master of Arts degree in theology. Records show, however, that he never received a degree at EMC. He also claimed to have received a master’s degree in geology from the University of Wisconsin. Although he did complete several courses in geology there, he failed his oral exams and thus was denied a degree.2 During the 1950s Burdick took courses in geology and paleontology at the University of Arizona with plans to earn a PhD.

    May 1, 1969 Vol. 146 No. 18 REVIEW AND HERALD • GENERAL CHURCH PAPER OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God." Psalm 90:2. Last-Day Events-1 The Great Day "The great day of the Lord is near, near and hastening fast" (Zeph. 1:14, R.S.V.) Is ENTURIES ago Zephaniah proclaimed a message identical to that which Seventh-day Adventists C have heralded to the world since 1844. Note the prophet's further somber and tragic pen picture concerning the times: "A day of wrath is that day, a day of distress and anguish, a day of ruin and Near devastation" (Zeph. 1:15, 16, RS.V.). Then he admon- ishes God's people to "come together and hold assembly, . seek the Lord, . seek righteousness, seek humility" (Zeph. 2:1-3, R.S.V.). And to those who respond to this invitation, Zepha- niah promises, "The Lord, your God, is in your midst, a warrior who gives victory; he will rejoice over you with gladness. At that time I will bring you home" (Zeph. By RALPH S. WATTS 3:17, 20, R.S.V.). (Italics supplied.) "His [Zephaniah's] prophecies of impending judgment upon Judah apply with equal force to the judgments that are to fall upon an impenitent world at the time of the second advent of Christ."—Prophets and Kings, p. 389. What a glorious time in which to live—the days pre- ceding "the great day of the Lord"! Never has knowledge reached such stupendous propor- tions as it has for this present generation—knowledge which, if rightly used, could help prepare the world for "the great day of the Lord." But it is a sobering reality that the press and other news media almost continually blare.
