Abstract
In the first article (CRSQ 21:115-19) in this four-part series the author stated the validity of two fundamentally contrasting viewpoints about origins; and in doing so, he provided objective, scientific data for (1) Total Creationism (based upon belief in Eternal, Personal Creator God who created all things), and (2) Total Evolutionism (based upon the belief that all things derived from some Eternal, Impersonal Matter-Energy condition). By emphasizing limitations of proper, orderly scientific endeavor, he delineated that scientists deal with two kinds of inquiries: (a) inquiries to explain "present" natural phenomena (leading to the science of cosmology, for example), and (b) inquiries to explain unobservable origins of aspects of the "present" natural environment (leading to "Historical Theories, such as cosmogonies). In a second article (CRSQ 21:189-94) he concentrated upon differences between the methods of cosmologists and cosmogonists, and presented itemization of circumstantial evidence for an Evolution Model and Creation Model about the origin of the universe. This article contains discussion of specific examples and illustrations of the above as applied to teaching about the origin of life on the earth.
