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.

Singer said, “Darwin wasi

He said Darwin saw a pal
