In the News: Eighth European Creationist Congress |
Found this online, it appears to be a (not very critical) summary of the 8th
European Creationist Congress held in Sweden in October (I think).
From the article:
----------------------------
Dr David Tyler proposed an approach to geology in which geological processes
are driven by tectonic forces. This liberates geologists from being locked
into ?deep time? and allows the global flood to be recognised in the field
data.
Students of geology are provided with interpretive tools that brainwash them
into presuming long timescales. The new approach is a tool that enables a
radically different understanding of the same data.
Dr Lee Spetner, an American physicist based in Israel, showed how random
mutations cannot account for evolution. One of the best experimental
evidences for evolutionary change through mutations is the development of
antibiotic resistance in bacteria.
But Spetner showed that resistance can be caused by gene transfer from
organisms with natural antibiotic resistance, or by mutation damaging the
antibiotic drug?s attachment site ? if a mutation degrades this site, the
bacterium becomes resistant by losing its sensitivity to the drug.
In neither case is new information created, as required by a Darwinian
mechanism.
