Contemporary Creationist Perspectives on Species
About twelve years ago, Roger Sanders and I organized a conference on created kinds for the Origin of Species sesquicentennial, and at that meeting we began discussing creationist ideas about species. Roger and I thought we might organize a special volume of the Core Issues series on that subject, and Roger agreed to take the lead in editing the papers. So we drew up a list of contributors and sent out invitations. Only a handful of people responded, but we went ahead thinking maybe we might persuade some to contribute down the road. Well that didn't happen, and then we got downsized and had to start Core Academy, and then Roger retired, got sick, and passed away. Before he died though, he essentially finished editing the papers, and I suggested we put them in the Journal of Creation Theology and Science. Then it was a matter of my writing a short introduction, along with the final layout work for people already too busy. Then when we were finally ready to put them up and publish them, we had software troubles. But now, finally, the problems have been resolved and these papers have seen the light of day.
The collection consists of two contributions by Kurt Wise, one from Gordon Wilson, one from Roger, and one from Tim Brophy. Each address different aspects of species, and Tim's paper is specifically a baraminology paper, looking at the created kinds of landfowl (chickens, turkeys, and such).
Check them out in the latest issue of the Journal of Creation Theology and Science Series B: Life Sciences.
We do have one more project from Roger that needs to be published. Please be praying for that.
Have you read my book? You should check that out too!
