CONVENTION FEEDBACK
Everyone was there from ALKEN
(James Alken of University of Waterloo, Canada) to
ZIPF (Dr. Elizabeth Zipf. Editor of Biological Abstracts). The registration
was excellent and the attendance at the various sessions was consistently good
(there's no place else to go in Siloam Springs). Travel agents or, both coasts
were given a bad time trying to find out (a) where Siloam Springs IS and (b) how
to get there. Should we go to Kansas City and then South via Kansas City and
Southern R.R. or Via bus? Via Captain Ricketyback's airline to Fayetteville.* still
30 miles from S.S.? Or to Tulsa and walk 90 miles? At least for the contingent
out of the West the Tulsa plan was best because of something the travel agent didn't
have in his little black book: the hospitality of the John Brown faculty! Thanks
to Prof. Gilbert Weaver and to Dr, Irvin A. Wills for making that 90 miles a highlight of the trip.
The quality of the papers was excellent and the sincere thanks of the entire
membership to the Natural Science Commission under the chairmanship of Wayne U. Ault. Those assisting him were
John A. McIntyre. Donald S. Robertson, Aldert
van der Ziel, Neal Brace and Wilbur Bullock. A ~umber of members stated that they
felt that this was the best convention the ASA has ever
held. A greater penetration into the secular universities was evidenced by a glance at the statistics as
17 secular universities and 17 Christian schools were represented. The registration
list revealed people from the University of Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Texas,
Stanford, N. Dakota State, Bradley, California State College (Palos Verdes),
Carnegie Tech, Iowa State) Texas A & M. Southern Illinois, Fresno State, Florida
State, Mankato State, and two Canadian schools, Univ, of Waterloo and York Univ.
The weather varied all the way from hot to wet to balmy to wet, in that order. To
the West Coast innocents, the electrical displays were shattering, to everyone
the rains were WET . . . 5 inches of rain during the week. Dr. John Brown Jr.,
President of John Brown University, in welcoming the ASA, made some comments about
Siloam Springs being a good way to get to heaven by degrees. We are sure he wasn't
talking about the academic kind, he's too good a theologian for that.
The warm hearts of the local arrangements committee, Dr. Irvin A. Wills, Chairman,
assisted by Prof. Gilbert B. Weaver and Marion Snider, impressed everyone. The
facilities were very modern and comfortable with one slight exception. Dick Bube
climbed into his bunk and found that about two feet hung over the end. This was
fixed by putting the mattress on the deck. This is par for the course for a
6 ft. 7 in. man.
CONVENTION IMPRESSIONS
....Walt Hearn's beard was not the full-textured, virile appendage we have become
accustomed to, but rather a 3 week old moth-eaten imitation. Continual decisions!
....The FOSSIL CLUB (members of which are easily detected by their bi-focals, the
way they strain to hear from the front seats and their-wide-part haircuts) was
amazed at the way some of the boys like Jack McIntyre and Wayne Ault are showing
graying at the temples and somewhat envious at the handsome effect.
.... Great admiration for the hard souls who got up at 5 AM to go on the Bird
Watchers Hike was mixed with
#@~$***74#@
because they moved through the dormitory
like a bevy of Sherman tanks (you're welcome). It was a successful junket according
to Frank Cassel and his son; a lavender-breasted whifflepoof was spotted.
.... While we are on the subject of 5 AM, who was it that chose this hour on another
morning to open up fourteen crates of something?
.... And there is the awesome performance of Jack McIntyre who visited the Catholic
exhibit at the New York World's Fair and didn't even see Michelangelo's Pieta. He's
Distinguished Professor of Physics at Texas A & M you know. This puts substance
into the Distinguished part of his title!
...Perhaps the heavy rain reminded us of Noah, but weren't the HIS and HER showers
and other two by two fixtures interesting?
.
... There was good participation in discussions following papers. in fact Russ
Mixter pointed out that it got hotter all the time: starting with Origin of Man
and ending with volcanoes!
...One reason for the interesting discussion periods is Dr. John Gates whose
analyses and questions were most pointed. With great physical handicaps, his
courage and intellectual vitality put us all to shame. We are so glad John and
Mrs. Gates were with us.
.... The field trip to the Eagle Picher mine was an unforgettable experience.
Although about 75 miles as the catfish swims, we left Arkansas, traveled through
Oklahoma and Missouri to the mines in Kansas. The Eagle Picher has laced an area
20 x 30 miles with their laterals. After donning miner's hard hats and lamps we
went down in a bucket about 4 feet in diameter. If the four people in each lmad
were not well acquainted before they stepped in, they were when they stepped out.
Rear springs were dragging as the cars pulled out, with the weight of galena and
calcite specimens picked up. Lobert L. Wilson, head of the Department of Geology
and Geography, University of Chattanooga, was the geologist for the field trip.
The major mystery is how they got those Mack trucks running around underground,
into that bucket!
...J. Oliver Buswell Jr. entered into the discussions
of papers more than any
other person present and his penetrating thought and good humor (even with those
with whom he disagreed) made him the star of the convention. Jim Busyel, his son
was also very much in evidence. Jim says that he has just passed through an
important phase in his life, however, from being known as J. Oliver Buswell's son,
to being known as Jamie's father. Jamie, a child prodigy, having very great talent
on the violin, will be entering Harvard for a year of study before extensive
public appearances.
.... With two of his papers On the program the chairman was on pins and needles
because David F. Siemens. Jr., just hadn't shown up. Finally a letter disclosed
serious engine trouble
in
Joplin, Missouri. He never did get to Siloam Springs,
although he spent a week in Tulsa waiting for "the most inept garage mechanic"
he had ever seen!
OUT OF CONTEXT
"Why do we not have the leaders of the scientific community in our organization? Is it not because we have considered that the devotion required to
produce such leadership is not in keeping with our Christian witness? If
on the other hand, a scientific career can be considered worthy of being
a Christian calling, then a large number of our members should be devoted
scientists, in the sense that they creatively, and out of the strenuous
efforts of their productive years, c9ntribute to the scientific edifice
being constructed by mankind."
From, "The Scientist and His Faith" by
John A. McIntyre
"Perhaps the time has come, when, both out of sheer necessity and out of
deep longing, we must return to the conception of a laboratory as simultaneously
laboratorium. and oratorium$ in which we pray with Kepler: "I Thank
Thee, 0 Lord, our Creator, that Thou hast permitted me to look at the
beauty in Thy work of creation; I exult in the works of Thy hands."
"Paradoxes have a place in Christian experience and in Christian
testimony; so has smallpox and so have broken homes. When I am
confronted with an apparent paradox, the last thing in the world
that I can do with it is to accept it. I may have to wait for some time
before the apparent contradiction is resolved. But, thank Gods, many
apparent contradictions have been resolved by prayer and careful study.
It seems to me that the only consistent attitude for one who believes in
the God of truth, is to pray for a resolution of apparent contradictions
as rapidly as God makes possible, and in the meantime to keep paradoxes
in rigid quarantine until they are cured."
From "The Place of Paradox in Our Christian Testimony" by
J. Oliver Buswell, Jr.
"I think this very cursory review suggests a parallelism between the
Hebrew cosmogony and our own. This parallelism is rendered even more
remarkable by its striking contrast to the corresponding Babylonian
version.
"...the amazing harmony between the concepts of Hebrew cosmogony and
our own poses a question which science has not answered. How did those
ancient Hebrews, without aid of telescope, spectrometer, electronics,
atomic theory, mathematics, and all the other components of the foundations of modern cosmology., come into possession of the comprehension
of prehistoric nature exhibited in their cosmogony?
From "Cosmogony - Science, Myth and Genesis" By
Robert M. Page
"The scientist searches and his observations become threads of information from which he weaves a tapestry, a theory. He does not ask if it
is right or wrong; but is it beautiful? Is it useful? A student of God's Word also observes God's works and weaves a tapestry, Is it
beautiful? Is it useful?"
William F. Tanner in an ad lib introduction to his paper, "Development of the
Earth's atmosphere, and the Genesis Account".
"All totally uniformitarian schemes of origin omit one essential item.
The evangelical Christian in theoretical science holds the missing
key to the origins problem - miracle".
From "Miracles and the Study of Origins" by
George F. Howe.
"It is also most gratifying that this process of planetary formation
(Kuiper's Protoplanet Theory) is but a special case of the universal
process of binary-star formation,, which seems to be one of God's
universal laws. Also it is satisfying to realize that there are
probably a billion (planetary) systems like our own in our galaxy
alone,, not to mention the myriads of other galactic systems. The
probability of the formation of such a system by this process is
100 million times the probability of formation by an approach or
collision."
From "The Origin of the Solar System, Galaxy and the
Universe" by Jack T. Kent.
"The world of the almost infinitely small, the world of the atom and
the nucleus, is God's creation. The world of the almost infinitely
large, a vast universe of stars, galaxies and supergalaxies, is His
domain. The world of the almost infinitely distant past, with ages
measured in billions of years, is God's world and is the scene of
His love and care. The almost infinite numbers of forms of life,
they are all His creatures. Who can help but being awed by the
vastness of God's creation and who can help but becoming a poet when
speaking about it! "
From "Science and Beginning" by A. van der Ziel
On Saturday afternoon, 3 October 1964, the North Central Section of the ASA met
at Minnehaha Academy in Minneapolis for a conference on "High School Science and
Christian Concepts". "The New High School Curricula" was the topic of V. Elving Anderson's
paper. Willis A. Olson of Minnehaha Academy spoke on "Evolution
and Biology in a Christian High School". After the coffee break, Delbert N.
Nyholm of South High School,, Minneapolis, spoke on "The Christian Teacher of
Science in the Public School" after which the discussion was opened to all on
the general problems of helping students reconcile Christian beliefs with science.
Preliminary information only is available for the next meeting of the Los Angeles
Section. The meeting is scheduled for Saturday afternoon) 14 November, 1964, at
the Women's Clubhouse in Upland. The topic will be along the general topic of
"The Relationship of Scientific Ethics to Christian Ethics" with an attempt to
keep things on the pragmatic rather than the theoretical level. Robert P. Dilworth,
Marvin. Darsie and F. Alton Everest are hammering out the details of the program.
COMING NATIONAL CONVENTIONS
1965 - To be held at The King's College, Briarcliff Manor, New York, 16-20 August
1965. This meeting will be "end-to-end" with the IVCF Faculty Fellowship, so that
members of either can extend their stay a few days and attend both conclaves. Charles Hummel,
Graduate Director of the IVCF, explains that the Faculty Fellowship
has about 1300 members of which about 60 attended their last conference. Wayne
Frair reports a point of special interest to families at this early date. The
Kings College will provide accomodations for those wishing to attend the World's F.
Buses will be available to take you directly to the fairgrounds. Considering the
usual high cost of lodging and the traffic congestion, this sounds like an
excellent arrangement. So start your 1965 family plans now and center them
around 16-20 August.
Harry Leith, Chairman of the Philosophy of Science Commission, announced at the
John Brown convention, the plans of his commission for the program of next year's
meeting. The general theme will follow "Christian Faith and the Meaning of
Science". Topics included are "Meaning of Scientific and Religious Language",
"Theory Formation") "Contemporary Issues" and others. There will be something for
all as each Commission will be responsible for one session. This is in response
to the demand for other than a single highly specialized topic.
1966 - The 1966 meeting is scheduled to be held at North Park College, Chicago. James Kennedy
states that a new science hallks being built (especially for the
ASA convention?) Neal Brace is now at North Park and he will undoubtedly carry
a big share of convention responsibility also.
1967 - The San Francisco Bay Area has been tentatively selected for this
"West Coast" year,
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE OF SCIENCE AND FAITH
Through the generosity of a group of North American businessmen an International
Conference on Science and Faith is to be held in July 1965 in Great Britain. The
British Research Scientists$ Christian Fellowship has been asked to organize
and sponsor it, and the arrangements are now in hand for the gathering of about
30 highly qualified participants to meet for a week of conference and consultation.
The meeting will be a closed one confined to those who can come for the whole time
and give themselves energetically to it, and invitations have now been accepted by
about ten participants from U.S.A. and Canada, six from Continental Europe, Four
from Australia, South America and the Far East, and about ten from Great Britain.
Participants are submitting papers which will be circulated two or three months
in advance, and they will not be read at the Conference but will rather form a
basis for a series of discussions introduced by those who . written the relevant
papers. It is hoped that out of this there will cone one or more substantial
books, and Professor Malcolm Jeeves, Professor of Psychology in Adelaide, has
agreed to be responsible for writing up the material afterwards and preparing it
for publication. He will be assisted by an Editorial Committee.
It is felt that this gathering would be of interest to members of the A.S.A., and
your prayers are asked for it, that it may both be of real benefit to each one of
the participants, and also be a big step forward in the development of a truly
Biblical apologetic for the present day. A number of prominent members of the ASA
are participating.
Similar discussions about science and Faith have been going on in different
countries amongst evangelical Christians, and this will be the first time that
there has been a real opportunity for leaders of these ongoing discussions to meet
and compare notes and help one another. The basis of the meeting is that participants are agreed to work from Holy Scripture as the final authority.
It may be of interest to see the provisional prospectus for the discussions. The
idea is to keep the discussions on general questions as far as possible, then there
will probably later be ad hoc discussions of 'Christian and Scientific View of 'Evolution' and perhaps some other similar
subjects
Oliver Barclay, Secretary
Research Scientists' Christian Fellowship
Provisional Prospectus
International Conference on Science and Faith
A. BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE
1. Creation
What is involved in the biblical idea of the "createdness" of the natural
order? (It is not intended to raise at this stage the Evolution controversy$
but rather the relationship of God to His world.) Is science ipso facto a
religious activity? (Coulson)
2, Natural Law and Miracle The theistic as contrasted with other conceptions of each.
Complementarity - its validity and scope.
3. 'Nature' and 'Sul2ernaturel
The biblical view of the natural and spiritual realms. Is the distinction
between 'natural' and 'supernatural' as used today a proper one for the
Christian? How can we best express what is true in it?
4. Nature as a sphere of Scientific
Activity
The debt of early scientists to a biblical view of nature. The freedom of
science. The motives for scientific work and a Christian assessment of
priorities. How far can we learn from or accept the humanist emphasis?
B. THE SCIENTIFIC ENTERPRISE
5. The Scientific Approach Parallels and differences between knowledge of objects, knowledge of
persons, knowledge of God. Detachment and involvement. Biblical encouragement for the
scientific habit of mind. The role of commitment in science (cf. Polanyi).
Do Logical Positivism and Existentialism have anything to say here to which
we must listen?
6. The Nature of Scientific 'Proof' Limits to 1~ert~l~.ntyl ~in science. Relevance and irrelevance of Heisenberg's
Uncertainty Principle* The meaning of 'chance$ to the Christian. (cf. Pollard)
7. Science and Values
The scientific virtues (cf. Bronowski). Scientific integrity. Can ethical
values be scientifically derived? (Waddington,, Huxley). Metaphysical
elevations of scientific notions.
8. Wider Responsibilities of-Scientists The Christian view of science as a social
funtion. Limits to science as
applied to
society itself. Moral and spiritual responsibilities of the
Scientist.
C. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE
9. A glance back In the light of our analysis, what can we learn from the past? Genesis and
the cosmologists. Evolution. Vitalism.
10. A Glance forward
Can we foresee any similar traps for the unwary in the likely development of
science? How can people best be educated to avoid making the same mistakes?
Behaviourism; Psychology of Religion; Determinism and Chance; New Cosmologies,
etc.
11. A strategy for today How can we best carry the war into the enemyts camp? Are the 'Honest to God'
schoo1sreally helping the scientists?
D. THEOLOGICAL RETROSPECT AND SUMMARY
12. Doing justice to the Bible Critique of our use of scripture in the foregoing discussion.
What are our
canons of interpretation? Biblical and scientific language. Does Scripture
ever speak scientifically? Images and Reality. How does our scientific
training affect our use of the Bible?
(Editor's note: the above is loaded with suggestions for local
section topics.)
CONTROVERSY!
Howard W, Mattson, Associate Editor of Science and Technology, an excellent journal
for survey articles on scientific topics, writes:
"...In the news note regarding xenon tetroxide, there is a discussion
of Howard Claassen's contribution to overturning the dogma of the
inertness of the noble gases, and the possibility of this work being
worthy of the Nobel Prize. I have read a great deal of the papers presented on this subject, both by the workers at Argonne (Claassen, et al)
and the earlier work by Bartlett at Vancouver, (in fact Bartlett is writing
an article for me on the subject now) and I wholeheartedly agree on the
worthiness of the work for the prize.
I take violent exception, however, to your suggestion that 'ASA members
in key positions, further the promotion of Howard Claassen and his
associates for this honor'. The idea of Christians, even Christian
scientists, entering the 'politics and pressures' mentioned to further
the cause of one of them for a secular honor seems strikingly inappropriate.
Presumably the cause of Christ would be advanced by having a Christian
named a Nobel Laureate (this would have to be the basis for urging
furtherance in this case among ASA members) but it is hard to justify
this scripturally. I suspect, without in any sense deprecating Claassen's
work (I don't know his feelings on this suggestion) that the applicable
verse in Philippians 3:7, 14: what things were gain to me, those I
counted loss for Christ;... I press toward the mark for the prize of the
high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
Well, that's one point of view. Any others? Be sure to see Neil Bartlett's
excellent review, "Noble-Gas Compounds", in International science and Technology,
September, 1964.
Earl C. Rex, formerly Associate Professor of Physics,
George Pepperdine College, Los Angeles, died on 24
August, 1964. Prof. Rex earned the B.S. degree at
Notre Dame University in 1927 and his M.S. degree at
the University of Washington in 1931. He was one of
the very early members of the ASA and was active in
the Los Angeles section until failing health forced
his retirement. The older members in the Los Angeles
area will always remember Earl for his willingness,
his cheerfulness and dedication to His Lord. His
wife, Frances, will be making her home in Florida.
FULLER COUNSELING CENTER
Two ASA members are active in the formation of the new Counseling Center, a project
of the Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena, California, to be opened in the Fall
of 1964. Donald F. Tweedie,,_Jr. has been named as Administrative Director and Paul Y.
Barkman, on leave of_Zsence from Taylor University, will be Coordinator
of Research and staff member of the
Counseling
Center. Fuller is establisbing
a new graduate school of psychology and the Counseling Center is the first
curricular function of this graduate school. This school is in parallel with
Fullerts School of Theology faculty and will offer a Ph.D. program in clinical
psychology as well as post-doctoral residencies in research and psychotherapy.
The Counseling Center is scheduled to open about November of 1964, the first
group
of residents the Fall of 1965,, and the first classes of students (first year and
advanced class) probably the Fall of 1966.
Dr.
Tweedie has just finished writing a monograph, "Of Sex and Saints" which will
be published by Baker Book House, Grand Rapids, this fall or winter. He will also
have a series of brief articles entitled "Faith and Feeling", starting in Eternity
Magazine in October. He taught for 12 years on the faculty of Gordon College of
which he is a graduate. After studying at Puller, Dr. Tweedie took his PhD. at
Boston University with post-doctoral study at Harvard Divinity School and University
of Vienna.
CALL FOR HUCKSTERS
The Executive Council of the ASA has been seriously considering running advertising
matter in the Journal to help with finances. Henry Weaver made a-preliminary
investigation and then escaped to Peru. There is a need for someone well versed
in this field to extend this study and advise the Council. Is . there such a person
among the ASA members who would step forward? It would involve approaching
prospective advertisers, consider rates, etc.
THE DE VRIES MYSTERY CLEARED UP
Ask a silly question and you get a lot of very fine answers! In the PERSONALS Of
last issue of NEWS was a reference to a John E. DeVries who has been named ,
Professor of Chemistry at California State College., Hayward. Was this OUR John
DeVries of Calvin College?
Jay E. Folkert,' Chairman of the Mathematics Department of Hope College, states that
this is not OUR John De Vries, but an alumnus of Hope College, receiving his AB
degree in 1942 and later his Ph.D. at the University of Illinois. He then goes on
to state that THIS John De Vries should also belong to the ASA
and become
OUR JDV
also. Then Thomas D. Parks writes that this John De Vries worked with him at
Stanford Research Institute and is a very fine man and should be a member of ASA.
Alright, everyone is agreed... now who will approach the OTHER JDV and sweep him
into the ASA? Looks like a job for the San Francisco Bay Section. (Dr. DeVries,
address is 882 Garland Drive, Palo Alto, California 94303). Enough Said.
AIBS REPORT
Solomon L. Loewen, Professor and Head, Natural Science Division, Tabor Colleges
Hillsboro, Kansas, reports that he attended the AIBS meetings in Boulder the week
of the ASA convention. The only ASA member he encountered was Wilbur L. Bullock,
former Executive Council Member and Associate Professor of Zoology, University of
New Hampshire. So they arranged a breakfast and invited two eligible caudidates
for membership to join with them. These were Dr. Clarence Harms, Tabor Colleges
and Dr. Monroe Bartel, Biology Department, Moorhead State College, Moorhead3 Minn.
This was on Thursday morning, just about the time V, Eying Anderson tore out of
Siloam Springs like a bat out of the dugout as he was scheduled to present a paper
at AIBS and the PRESIDENT just HAD to be at the ASA convention as well.
(Assignment: Dr, Loewen should be responsible for bringing Dr. Harms
into the ASA fold and J: Frank Cassel is hereby given the job of
wooing Dr. Bartel who is just across the river. Look, Frank, you'll
probably be birding aver there at 4 am some morning, give the man a
call!)
SHORT MONOGRAPHS
The ASA has an exceptional opportunity of publishing short monographs if the membership will cooperate fully. The Publications Board earnestly seeks
your advice and help. It is now quite evident that some of the most prominent publishing houses having extensive marketing facilities can be interested in
publishing such monographs. Will you help by passing on suggestions to the
Publications Board; identification of authors having promise, information on JASA
articles or ASA talks worthy of a wider audience? Monographs for different - audiences are being considered - the adult reader of religious books, the adult
reader of scientific books, the college student, the high school student, and - this is important -- the scientist who is not a Christian. The level of writing
can be anything from technical, intended for the specialist,, to the very popular.
There is no "ASA view" on the questions we discuss, and so the writer may use any
approach consistent with ASA principles. The person to contact is Russell
Maatman, Dordt College, Sioux Center, Iowa, who is Chairman of the Publications Board.
(In passing on the above information and admonishing ye ed
to edit it as required, Russ said, "..since I am an editor
of sorts by being the Board chairman, do you when you edit
my material become a meta-editor?"
KRAAKEVIK TO NIGERIA
James H. Kraakevik, Associate Professor and Chairman of the Department of Physics,
Wheaton College, is taking a two-year leave of absence from Wheaton in order to
teach at Titcombe College, Egbe, via Ilorin, Nigeria. Jim, with his family, is
going out under the auspices of the Sudan Interior Missionts short-term program*
Mrs. Kraakevik will probably be teaching English at Titcombe, three sons will be
in school at
Kent Academy
in Jos and two sons will be in Egbe with their parents.
News closer home and of a more immediate sort: Jim attended a National Science
Foundation Institute on History and the Philosophy of Science at American University
Washington, D.C., and worked at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory for six weeks
during the past summer. On the Wheaton campus, he was also named Junior Teacher
of the Year for "teaching efficiently and enthusiastically..,"
no doubt the result
of having five lively sons!
TANNER'S IDEA
William F, Tanner, Geology Department, Florida State University, Tallahassee3,
recently sent in a check to headquarters for a Journal subscription for the Baptist
Student Union on his campus. Along with this he sends an excellent suggestion as
to how others can join in the fun and help dig the ASA out of its financial doldrums
"If you are not already doing so", he writes, "you should seek subscriptions from
Christian student houses near campuses all over the country to be paid for out of-their own budgets or by friends. There are probably more than 3,000 such houses -
a potential market worth about $15,000 or more, if you can reach it, and also a
source of future members" .... aridan importent witness. Good thinking, Bill.
