    Excess Argon Within Mineral Concentrates from the New Dacite Lava Dome at Mount St Helens Volcano
    Dec. 1, 1996, pp. 335–343

    The study of this Mount St Helens dacite causes the more fundamental question to be asked—how accurate are K-Ar ‘ages’ from the many other phenocryst-containing lava flows worldwide?

  • Technical Research Paper
    The Origin of Life: A Critique of Current Scientific Models
    Dec. 1, 1996, pp. 300–314

    Profound advances in the fields of molecular biology in recent years have enabled the elucidation of cell structure and function in detail previously unimaginable.

  • Technical Research Paper
    Creation, Suffering and the Problem of Evil
    Dec. 1, 1996, pp. 391–404

    The problem of evil continues to be a supposed ‘safe haven’ for the skeptic. He believes that issue gives evidence to support his rebellious attitude toward God.

    Evidence for a Late Cainozoic Flood/Post-Flood Boundary
    April 1, 1996, pp. 128–167

    Geologic evidence of the Middle East and the globe, combined with Scripture, indicates that the Flood/post-Flood boundary is very late in the Cainozoic.

  • Technical Research Paper
    Contemporary Suppression of the Theistic Worldview
    Aug. 1, 1995, pp. 267–275

    A decade ago, Prévot and Coe (and colleagues) reported in three papers the evidence they had found of extremely rapid changes of the Earth’s magnetic field recorded in lava flows at Steens Mountain.

  • Technical Research Paper
    Creationism and the Problem of Homosexual Behaviour
    April 1, 1995, pp. 121–130

    The evolutionist view of the origin of homosexuality in contrast to the creationist explanation is reviewed.

  • Technical Research Paper
    The Hubble Law
    April 1, 1995, pp. 7–11

    The background of astronomer Edwin Hubble and his famous expanding universe law are reviewed. The significance of the Hubble constant is explained, along with the ongoing controversy regarding its actual value. Finally, a creationist view of the usefulness and limitations of the Hubble law are given.

  • Technical Research Paper
    The Failure of U-Th-Pb ‘Dating’ at Koongarra, Australia
    April 1, 1995, pp. 71–92

    As with other radiometric ‘dating’ methods, the U-Pb and Pb-Pb isochron methods have been questioned in the open literature.

  • Technical Research Paper
    Neandertal Children’s Fossils
    Aug. 1, 1994, pp. 166–178

    In reconstructing fragmented bones of Neandertal children, evolutionists assume that rates of development were equal to or faster than modern children.

  • Technical Research Paper
    Helium in the Earth’s Atmosphere
    Aug. 1, 1994, pp. 142–147
  • Technical Research Paper
    Safety Investigation of Noah’s Ark in a Seaway
    April 1, 1994, pp. 26–36

    In this study, the safety of Noah’s Ark in the severe environments imposed by waves and winds during the Genesis Flood was investigated.

  • Technical Research Paper
    Experiments on Stratification of Heterogeneous Sand Mixtures
    April 1, 1994, pp. 37–50

    Superposed strata in sedimentary rocks are believed to have been formed by successive layers of sediments deposited periodically with interruptions of sedimentation.

  • Technical Research Paper
    Towards a Creationist Explanation of Regional Metamorphism
    April 1, 1994, pp. 51–77

    The ‘classical’ model for regional metamorphism presupposes elevated temperatures and pressures due to deep burial and deformation/tectonic forces over large areas over millions of years.

  • Technical Research Paper
    Homo erectus to Modern Man: Evolution or Human Variability?
    April 1, 1994, pp. 105–116

    An interesting change is taking place in creationist circles in respect of the status of the taxon Homo erectus and its relationship to Homo sapiens sapiens.

  • Technical Research Paper
    Can Flood Geology Explain Thick Chalk Beds?
    April 1, 1994, pp. 11–15

    By working from what is known to occur today, even if rare and catastrophic by today’s standards, we can realistically calculate production of thick chalk beds within the conditions of the Flood.

  • Technical Research Paper
    Moon Dust and the Age of the Solar System
    April 1, 1993, pp. 2–42

    One of the evidences for a young earth that creationists have been using now for more than two decades is the so-called “dust on the moon” problem.

  • Technical Research Paper
    ‘Life’ According to the Bible, and the Scientific Evidence
    Aug. 1, 1992, pp. 98–121

    So one may observe that the definition of a nervous system must not be thought of in terms of its basic function (response to stimuli), but in terms of its makeup (specialized cells).

  • Technical Research Paper
    Creation’s Original Diet and the Changes at the Fall
    Aug. 1, 1991, pp. 130–138

    One must, in humble obedience, simply believe God at His word. God, through His Word, clearly shows that the original, created creatures were to eat only plants.

  • Technical Research Paper
    The Days of Creation: A Semantic Approach
    April 1, 1991, pp. 70–78

    By applying a semantic approach to Genesis 1 we can accurately understand the word ‘day' in the days of creation to mean 24 hour days.

  • Technical Research Paper
    Cranial Capacity and Endocranial Casts
    April 1, 1990, pp. 56–65

    Man has always prided himself on his intellectual capabilities and has often pondered to explain the reason why he alone is able, unlike the rest of the animal kingdom, to contemplate and communicate.

  • Technical Research Paper
    Experiments on Lamination of Sediments
    April 1, 1988, pp. 25–29

    Experiments on lamination of sediments, resulting from a periodic graded-bedding subsequent to deposition—a contribution to the explanation of lamination of various sediments and sedimentary rocks.

  • Technical Research Paper
    The Human Vermiform Appendix
    April 1, 1988, pp. 31–38

    The appendix is commonly referred to as a classic example of a vestigial organ.

  • Technical Research Paper
    Coal, Volcanism and Noah’s Flood
    April 1, 1984, pp. 11–29

    Applying the explosive pyroclastic volcanism model to the formation of coal deposits, it is entirely feasible that all the coal seams were formed by the conditions during Noah's Flood.
