Nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR), although potentially an important research tool, has not yet gained widespread use or popularity. It is our good fortune to have a pioneer in this field, Dr. Lee Gregory Kent, as a member of the Creation Research Society. Dr. Kent has kindly consented to publish his latest work first in the C.R.S Quarterly because of its possible significance for creationism. On the basis of evolutionary presuppositions (i.e., evolution in the broadest sense of the word, as cosmic evolution), one should expect to find a gradation in properties from one member of a family of similar compounds to the next. Yet the results presented here do not fit such a picture. Chromium (III) chloride is seen to be unique among all the compounds studied, despite the fact that over 100 substances were investigated, many of them very similar to CrCl, in structure. In other words, we have at this point, in any sequence of related compounds one might wish to envision, a marked discontinuity in at least one readily measurable property. Creationism can provide a framework for comprehending either a graded series or a group of discrete entities with "random" properties. Proponents of the evolutionary approach, on the other hand, must by its very nature founder when faced with discontinuities. Because the field discussed herein is somewhat new and uncharted, and because several esoteric questions of a philosophical nature are raised, it will be left to the reader to determine whether the property investigated in this work does indeed constitute a significant discontinuity, and how strongly such evidence militates against an evolutionary explanation of origins. The technique utilized consists of subjecting a solid sample of the compound under study to crossed AC fields, and measuring its response as the frequency of one of the fields is varied. Resonances, attributable to changes in the positions of the nuclei in the sample, are detected at characteristic frequencies. Chromium (III) chloride exhibits such a resonance as do other compounds, but in addition causes the anomalous shifting of the entire baseline of the recorder out- put. This remarkable phenomenon is still unexplained.
