| Teaching about origin questions: Origin of human beings | Moore, JN. 1986.
CRSQ 22(4):183-188. CELD ID 2294Abstract In three previous "how to" articles on teaching about origin questions in a fair and just manner the author discussed (a) the nature of scientific activity in generation of inquiries by scientists, based upon some of the presuppositions of founders of modern science, who accepted belief in Eternal, Personal Creator God Who created all things (CRSQ 21:115-119); (b) identified that professional scientists deal primarily with inquiries to explain "present" natural phenomena resulting in the science of cosmology, for example in contrast to "Historical" Theories, which include evolution cosmogony (Evolution Model) and creation cosmogony (Creation Model) about the origin of the universe (CRSQ 21: 189-194); and (c) analyzed and critiqued the five stages of mechanistic, materialistic, reductionistic "chemical evolution" as basis for presentation of circumstantial evidence for a Creator origin of life on the earth as believed by Pasteur, Mendel, and many leading biologists who founded the biological sciences (CRSQ 22:20-25). This article contains discussion of contrasting basic conceptualizations regarding the origin of human beings.
