World made in an instant or in years Biology profs debate views of creation By LORI SHULER Battalion Reporter It might seem the knowledge two professors received in acquiring doctoral degrees in biology would give them somewhat similar views about the origin of human life. Not always so. Dr. Gary E. Parker, chairman of natural sciences at Christian Heri tage College in San Diego, and Dr. Michael C. Singer, population biologist at the University of Texas, use some of the same scientific evi dence in support of their viewpoints — special creation and organic revo lution, respectively. But their ex planations and applications vary sig nificantly. The biologists debated in a pro gram sponsored by the Great Issues Committee Thursday night in Rud der Auditorium. In an introduction to the debate, a Texas A&M University plant sci ence professor. Dr. James Wild, de fined the creationist theory of origin as “the unique creation of or ganisms. Each type of organism was brought into existence by a divine being at a specific time.” Organic evolutionists, on the other hand, “believe that differ ences in organisms are due to changes throughout generations,” Wild said. The theory of organic evolution, firmly established by Charles Dar win, is also known as Darwinism. Parker, who in the early years of his teaching career taught the theory of evolution, said. Fossils are the closest we can come to his torical evidence in this matter of origin.” Parker said many of the fossils of both plants and animals that have been found, such as nautiloids, and oak and willow trees, are still in existence today. He said the greater variety in the fossil record shows that life has not become more developed through generations, but that in some cases it has become totally extinct. "Darwin himself was verv well ‘Bernie’ Catfish & “Clyde” Chicken Have A Special For You . . .

He said Darwin saw a pal variation in the fossil recoil caused him to believe the been changes through genei “The problem arises whei are classified. Naming camoii the fact and enables Dr. Pail say to you there are not mediaries between man am tiles,” he said. Parker, who believes things were created at time and are exactly the same as when they were created “Man has always been maa. times, in all places. Thesam for man, for the invertehr! the plants and for the in« rates.” Singer said absolute trulk an issue. “The question is, \vk changes seem likely?” Singe “And whatever people choose lieve about the past theyu will believe.” THE BATTALION CLASSIFIED Attention May Graduates rx- READY, GET SET, GO ORDER YOUR GRADUATION ANNOUNCEMENTS January 2, 1978 - February 16, 1978 MSC STUDENT FINANCE CENTER Room 217 - MSC 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM 72127 OFFICIAL NOTICE TO TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY STUDENTS Claude 8 Goswick Ronald E.
