Fliers around campus displayed a picture of an ape and a simple question:
Speech puts evolution theory on trial
By Traci Carl
Kansan staff writer
According to Ricky Walters, campus minister for Jayhawker Campus Fellowship, it is not.
"Is this your daddy?"
The fliers urged those interested to hear the evidence against evolution at 8 p.m. Just night in the Burge Union. About 25 people decided to listen to what Walters had to say.
Evolution was an excuse not to believe in God, and evidence supported creation, not evolution, Walters said.
There is no evidence in the present
Evolution also goes against the laws of nature, Walters said. The second law of thermodynamics states that the universe goes from a higher to a lower level of organization. But evolution says that life is becoming more organized. Walters said.
The law actually supports the theory of creation and the Bible, he said.
"The Bible says things are running down," he said. "The world is becoming more morally corrupted."
Scientists may be able to create organic materials from gases, water and electricity — which supports the big bang theory — but they cannot
create life, Walters said. Life requires organization and design, something only creation had, while evolution is dependent on too many variables, he said.
Walters said many evolutionists supported his theory including Steven J. Gould, a professor of geology at Harvard University who came up with the theory of punctuated equilibrium. The theory states that there are rapid periods of evolution because there was not evidence that evolution happened gradually.
"Evolution has to have a lot of things come together," he said. "It's a big chain reaction of what-ifs."
"It's saying because there is lack of evidence, we have to come up with a different theory," he said.
Mike Weiser, St. Joseph, Mo., senior, said he thought Walters' evidence was incomplete and inconclusive. Walters' quotes from evolutionists seemed to support his theory, but they were taken out of context, Weiser said.
world or the fossil record that evolution is occurring, he said, and natural selection is simply an adaptation of species to their environment.
"It's like saying Billy Graham doesn't believe in God," he said.
Gould is a strong supporter of evolution, he said, and it was not fair to misrepresent him or his theory.
"Either there is an evolutionary linkage, or God was not very creative in the creation," he said.
Walters did not look at specific evolutionary examples in the general world, Weiser said.
Brady bill backers look to secure Senate vote
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Cheered by a 49-vote victory in the House, backers of the Brady bill are redoubling efforts to secure Senate passage of the five-day waiting period and criminal background check it would require for handgun buyers.
Prospects appeared to brighten as the Senate reached agreement Wednesday on how to deal with a separate but far-reaching crime-control bill.

and said he was intrigued with the idea promoted by Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan, D-N.Y., to tax certain forms of ammunition and use the money to help pay for national health care reforms. But he said a better idea might be an outright ban on the most deadly bullets.
Clinton predicted passage of the Brady bill and said he was intrigued with the idea promoted by New York Democratic Sen. Daniel Patrick Moynihan to tax certain forms of ammunition and use the money to help pay for national health care reforms. The proposal is not part of the crime bill.
But he said a better idea might be an outright ban on the most deadly bullets.
Clinton predicted that the Brady bill would pass
eliminate a provision, added at the suggestion of the National Rifle Association, to cancel the waiting period if a national computerized system to permit instant background checks hasn't been perfected in five years time.

States that have waiting periods longer than five days could keep them. States that have none or have waiting periods of less than five days would have to abide by a five-day minimum, assuming the federal Brady requirement becomes law.
