Proceedings of the Microbe Forum, June 2007

pp. 1–6 • Dr. Joe Francis , et. al.

For many years the roles of microbes as part of God’s wonderful design have been neglected. Perhaps it is because many people associate microbes as the cause of death, disease, and suffering.

Microbes and the Days of Creation

pp. 7–10 • Dr. Alan L. Gillen

The world of germs and microbes has received much attention in recent years. But where do microbes fit into the creation account?

Catastrophic Granite Formation

pp. 11–26 • Dr. Andrew A. Snelling

The timescale for the generation of granitic magmas and their subsequent intrusion, crystallization, and cooling as plutons is no longer incompatible with the biblical time frames.

An Apology and Unification Theory for the Reconciliation of Physical Matter and Metaphysical Cognizance

pp. 27–42 • Desmond Allen

Because one is tangible and the other intangible, the physical and metaphysical are generally treated separately. But this dichotomy is illogical.

Louis Pasteur’s Views on Creation, Evolution, and the Genesis of Germs

pp. 43–52 • Dr. Alan L. Gillen , et. al.

Shortly after Darwin published On the Origin of Species, Pasteur began to challenge the idea of spontaneous generation.

Testing the Hydrothermal Fluid Transport Model for Polonium Radiohalo Formation: The Thunderhead Sandstone, Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee–North Carolina

pp. 53–64 • Dr. Andrew A. Snelling

The regional metamorphism, the hydrothermal fluid flows, the cooling of the regional metamorphic complex, and the formation of the Po radiohalos all had to have occurred within a few weeks.

Toward a Practical Theology of Peer Review

pp. 65–75 • Todd Charles Wood , et. al.

The irony of the conflict over peer review is that peer review is poorly understood and criticized even in conventional journals.

Karyotype Variability within the Cattle Monobaramin

pp. 77–88 • Dr. Jean Lightner

Chromosomal rearrangements, particularly centric fusions, have played an important role in developing the chromosomal patterns that are seen in cattle today.

Mars, a Testament to Catastrophe

pp. 89–94 • Charles Creager, Jr.

The unlikely geographic relationship between these gigantic features suggests a cause and effect relationship between them. This implies a global Martian catastrophe comparable to the Genesis Flood.

Green River Formation Very Likely Did Not Form in a Postdiluvial Lake

pp. 99–108 • Michael J. Oard , et. al.

The uniformitarians believe that the couplets in the Green River Formation are varves, but evidence militates against this interpretation

Genetics of Coat Color I

pp. 109–116 • Dr. Jean Lightner

Given the number of alleles within baramins, much of the diversity at this locus must have developed since the genetic bottleneck at the Flood where only a single breeding pair was preserved.

Bacterial Attenuation and its Link to Innate Oncolytic Potential

pp. 117–122 • Luke Kim

Although bacteria have been mainly recognized as disease causing agents, there are abundant scientific evidences that bacterial pathogenicity is not the major biological function of bacteria.

Radiocarbon Ages for Fossil Ammonites and Wood in Cretaceous Strata near Redding, California

pp. 123–144 • Dr. Andrew A. Snelling

Measurable radiocarbon has been detected in fossils from the earliest days of radiocarbon dating. When these data are put in perspective, their deadly significance to uniformitarianism is apparent.

The Origin of Oil—A Creationist Answer

pp. 145–168 • John Matthews

The dominant view of the origin of oil amongst western oil companies until 1969 was that it was due to the decay of living matter. Now other views are making themselves heard.

Hebrew Metaphysic

pp. 169–195 • Doug Kennard

Metaphysical development in Hebrew biblical texts is especially elucidated through a series of word studies with a shifting emphasis that each cross-pollinates the others.
