Abstract

The field of creationistic botany is like a stately forest that long ago experienced fire and now has begun to sprout again. The fire in this analogy is a destructive blaze that was ignited by Charles Darwin and others over 100 years ago. In the wake of this ideological holocaust, only a few lonely voices were heard to speak a message different than the monotonous crackling of natural selection and "survival of the fittest." These creationistic botanists stood something like thick-bark trees that escaped the raging of the flames. Now the fire has flickered and the air has begun to clear so that a regrowth of a new and better concept is seen upon the scientific horizon. This article is presented as a survey of the creationistic revival in scientific botany. It is like a field trip into the present landscape of theoretical science. It is intended to show at once the vigor of various research avenues, and to designate the areas that yet need to be replanted if a balanced forest of creationistic concepts is to flourish. If this essay encourages only one new person to embark upon a creationistic study of plants (to sow new seeds where soil has long lain fallow) it will have been written to some avail.
