Did the Moon Appear as Blood on the Night of the Crucifixion?

pp. 27–30 • Dr. Danny R. Faulkner

Assuming that Peter’s statement about the moon being turned to blood was a reference to the Crucifixion, it is plausible that unusual atmospheric conditions at that time were responsible.

An Initial Estimate toward Identifying and Numbering Extant Tuatara, Amphisbaena, and Snake Kinds

pp. 31–47 • Tom Hennigan

The purpose of this paper is to use all available information in order to make an initial estimate of the identification and numbers of extant Lepidosaur kinds, except for the “lizards.”

There is evidence for rapid granite formation during the Flood.

Comments on the Cosmic Microwave Background

pp. 83–90 • Dr. Danny R. Faulkner

The big bang model is contrary to the Bible and the recent creation model. Since in our view the big bang never happened, the CMB requires some alternate explanation.

The Human GULO Pseudogene—Evidence for Evolutionary Discontinuity and Genetic Entropy

pp. 91–101 • Jeffrey P. Tomkins

Modern genomics provides the ability to screen the DNA of a wide variety of organisms to scrutinize broken metabolic pathways. This data has revealed wide-spread genetic entropy in human genomes.

Radioisotope Dating of Meteorites: I. The Allende CV3 Carbonaceous Chondrite

pp. 103–145 • Dr. Andrew A. Snelling

Meteorites have been used to date the earth with a 4.55 ± 0.07 Ga Pb-Pb isochron called the geochron.

A Discussion of Stellar Nucleosynthesis

pp. 147–159 • Dr. Danny R. Faulkner

Astronomers have developed an elaborate, physically robust evolutionary theory to explain the abundances that we see throughout the universe. While this theory may be explanatory, it has no predictive

A Photon Reference Frame and Distant Starlight: Analyzing Ideas from Gerald L. Schroeder’s The Science of God

pp. 161–172 • Andrew Sibley

This paper reviews claims made by Gerald L. Schroeder in relation to the nature of light and the age of the universe.

A Christian Response to the Crisis in Psychiatry

pp. 173–187 • Callie Joubert

Psychiatry is facing a crisis, and it is well known that psychiatry has taken over many concepts from the Bible and secularized them.

Christians, the Brain, and Person: Conceptual Confusion, Unintelligibility, and Implications

pp. 189–204 • Callie Joubert

That psychological properties can be attributed to a brain is a popular notion, even among Christians. This paper argues that such claims are incorrect.

Anomalies with Planets and Satellites in the Solar System—Indication of Design?

pp. 205–214 • Dr. Danny R. Faulkner

The evolutionary theory cannot explain certain aspects of solar system bodies. There have been few comprehensive proposals for a creationary model.

Defending History: Temporal Reasoning in Genesis 2:7–3:8

pp. 215–237 • Dr. Steven W. Boyd

Creationist studies are replete with discussions of Genesis 1:1–2:3 and 5:28–9:29, but Genesis 2:4–3:24, has remained largely untouched.

Radioisotope Dating of Meteorites II: The Ordinary and Enstatite Chondrites

pp. 239–297 • Dr. Andrew A. Snelling

This paper documents the radioisotope dating data for more meteorites, so as to continue the discussion of the significance of these data.

Circular Reasoning in the Dating of Deep Seafloor Sediments and Ice Cores: The Orbital Tuning Method

pp. 297–309 • Dr. Jake Hebert

The different dating systems are calibrated to one another: dates assigned to the seafloor sediments are used to date the ice cores, and vice versa.

Determination of the Radioisotope Decay Constants and Half-Lives: Rubidium-87 (87Rb)

Determination of the Radioisotope Decay Constants and Half-Lives: Rubidium-87 (⁸⁷Rb)

pp. 311–322 • Dr. Andrew A. Snelling

In spite of numerous attempts for over 60 years to determine the ⁸⁷Rb half-life and decay constant, there is still no consensus.

Evaluating The Day Four Cratering Hypothesis

pp. 323–330 • Wayne Spencer

Creationists have recently considered impact cratering in the solar system occurring during the fourth day of the Creation Week.

Fossil Baramins on Noah’s Ark: The “Amphibians”

pp. 331–355 • Dr. Marcus Ross

When added to previously determined kinds of extant anurans, caudates, and gymnophionans, a total of 248 amphibian kinds may have been brought on board the Ark.

A Missing Neutrino—Dark Radiation

pp. 357–361 • Dr. John G. Hartnett

From various problems in cosmology a need has developed to postulate the existence of unknown types of energy and matter from the dark side.

Old Earth Theology: A Factor that Explains Inconsistent Belief of Inerrancy Among Florida Southern Baptists

pp. 363–386 • David Mcgee

A major shift in thinking seems to be occurring in contemporary evangelical thinking.

Scientific Evidence Indicates Natural Selection and Brain-Based Education Conflict with Human Nature

pp. 387–402 • Callie Joubert

Children have an innate, natural, intuitive, and unlearned tendency to reason about the world as biblical creationists do.

A Response to “Does Natural Selection Exist?”: Creatures’ Adaptation Explained by the Design-based, Organism-Driven Approach: Part 1

pp. 403–421 • Randy J. Guliuzza

This paper responds to a 2013 Jeanson paper critical of a series of Acts & Facts articles published by the Institute for Creation Research (ICR).

A Response to “Does Natural Selection Exist?”: Creatures’ Adaptation Explained by the Design-based, Organism-driven Approach: Part 2

pp. 421–437 • Randy J. Guliuzza

This second installment is a continuation of my response to a recent critical paper (Jeanson 2013) on a series of Acts & Facts articles.

A Response to “Does Natural Selection Exist?”: Creatures’ Adaptation Explained by the Design-based, Organism-driven Approach: Part 3

pp. 437–450 • Randy J. Guliuzza

This third installment is a continuation of my response to a recent critical paper (Jeanson 2013).

Reply to “A Response to ‘Does Natural Selection Exist?’”

pp. 451–452 • Dr. Nathaniel T. Jeanson

In this three-part ~35,000-word response, Guliuzza (2014a, b, c) fails to clearly define his terms and/or use them consistently.

Expansion of Space—A Dark Science

pp. 453–459 • Dr. John G. Hartnett

I contend that expansion of space is of itself not tenable as a mechanism for the expansion of the universe.

Critique: Faulkner’s Miraculous Translation of Light Model Would Leave Evidence

pp. 459–461 • Dr. John G. Hartnett

In 2013 D. R. Faulkner proposed what he says is a new solution to the biblical creationist starlight travel-time problem.

Response to: “Critique: Faulkner’s Miraculous Translation of Light Model Would Leave Evidence”

pp. 461–463 • Dr. Danny R. Faulkner

I am delighted that my friend, John Hartnett, has responded with some objections to my proposal for a new solution to the light travel time problem.
