Visiting prof favors creationism labels evolution as 'conjecture'
By MARK PITTMAN
Staff Reporter
Man always has been man, according to creationist Gary Palmer, professor of biology at Christian Heritage College in San Diego.
Palmer, speaking to about 50 persons last night in the Kansas Union, said there was no laboratory model for the evolutionist conception of the origin of the species.
"There is no natural tendency for the development of life on earth," Palmer said. "Life on earth is the result of plan, purpose and special creation."
Palmer said much of the doctrine of evolution was based on 'extrapolation and approximation' to a given community. On the other hand, he said, creationism is based on what we 'do know' from the past.
Creationism maintains that a divine will is responsible for the creation of the world. Evolutionism maintains that the random nature resulted in the earth's formation.
Evolution, Palmer said, does not account for the reaction amino acids and DNA, which are involved in Random combination of the two substances will never result in life as the evolutionists do.
"Darwin himself was much more cautious than other evolutionists. A whole chapter in 'The Origin of Species' was devoted to problems with the theory." Palmer said.
Palmer said this implied that both theories, evolution and creation, should be critically examined and taught in schools.
"If the creationists win the battle, the doctrine of evolution will still be taught," Palmer said. "The real loss of the Scope is losing to crain views down people's threats."
J. T. Scopes was a schoolteacher arrested in 1925 for teaching Charles Darwin's theory of evolution in Tennessee schools.
Palmer is a member of the Institute for Creation Research, a group of 500 scientists who do research to support creationism.

Abbeying."
An increase in Anderson's popularity, both nationally and locally, prompted sponsors of his visit to change his talk from a lecture to a presentation to the more sacrosanct Hoch Auditorium.
Mullens the police force would take a "low key" approach to Anderson's visit, despite a change in the candidate's view towards security.
BEFORE THE Incident, Anderson publicly opposed government expenses created by providing candidates with security.
After his campaign headquarters in Chicago was stormed by angry Puerto Ricans last month, Anderson, R-III, the need for Secure Service protection.
Mullens said that Secret Service men would accompany Anderson to KU and that some had helped coordinate security for his visit.
Secret Service men from Kansas City, Mo., and Wichita are expected to aid Anderson's security team.
"What we try to do is set up a proper security and help the VIP meet his deadlines with a minimum of fanfare," Mullens said.
The Lawrence Police Department, under the direction of Ron Olin, assistant chief of police, will direct traffic away from the office in connection with travel to Lawrence from Topeka.
Kansas Highway Patrol will follow Anderson's group to Lawrence from Topeka after a fund-raising lunch for him there.
Mullens said Anderson would be at KU for a little over an hour.
IN ADDITION to security protection, Mullens said Anderson would be surrounded by an assortment of professional public relations agents and aides.
But regardless of all the planning, Mullens said, past experience proved that unexpected happenings could occur.
"Probably the biggest oddity when former President Ford came in 1978 was that it went perfectly." Mullens joked.
