109. Does Evolution Qualify as a Scientific Principle?
...fossils" (contemporary representatives of organisms expected to be extinct) survive because the environment did not change. If the environment changes and an evolutionary lineage survives, it is due...
110. Organization and the Origin of Life
...genetic material (by mutations for example) and then copied by a passive synthesizing process. Environmental pressures then bring about the dominance of the entities with the greatest probabilities of...
111. An Evaluation of the Use of Growth Lines in Geochronometry, Geophysics, and Paleoecology
...patterns are correlated with, and are presumably a response of, the organism to various physical environmental factors such as the light-dark cycle, tidal fluctuations, temperature, and sedimentation...

115. Annotations from the Literature
...The deep sea has traditionally been thought to be depleted in biodiversity, due to the extreme environmental conditions. Recent exploration and discovery is modifying that view. DEVELOPMENT: DIFFERENT...
116. Annotations from the Literature

118. Young’s Old Earth
...disagreement among uniformitarian geologists (e.g., Marzolf 1969, Freeman 1976) as to their depositional environment, and Young should so inform his readers. Picard (1977), for example, disagrees with...
