"Scientific Creationism"

Paper Summary:

This paper discusses Henry M. Morris' book, "Scientific Creationism". The paper suggests that the book poses interesting and thought-provoking questions which makes it more intriguing. The paper goes on to give examples of statements or concepts that Morris makes in the book and are written in a broad enough manner to cause controversy. The paper suggests that for those who believe that science is the only truth, or those who are adamant creationists, the book offers enough evidence for both sides.

From the Paper:

"One of those beliefs found in the book is that creationism as compared to a model such as natural selection or survival of the fittest is (according to Morris) more likely than what has been given credit to. A survival of the fittest model can be described as containing tautologies, or circular thoughts. For example, since the survival of the fittest model says that the fittest individuals are those that procreate more often and bear more offspring, it is also defining those that procreate more often and bear more offspring as being the fittest. The definition fits because it is the definition. With this type of scientific definition being used, then Creationism has no chance whatsoever in being accepted by those who define such characteristics."
