Show 4 Carbon Emery Shopping Mart, Wednesday, December 30, 1981 I i ' V 4 Winter wonderland became a placid lake of white. The weatherman is predicting more snowflakes for the first weekend of 1982. It was a white Christmas holiday for southeastern Utah. 'Icicles hung from rooftops, snowmen were formed on front lawns and Jack Frost nipped at cheeks and noses. Even what was once dusty brown sage land near Pinnacle Peak In magazine article... Utah geologist supports Bible creation story tantalizes the human mind more than the questions of mans Stokes said. Yet, origins, neither science nor the scriptures can offer unassailable answers. A great deal of pride must be overcome, meanwhile, before the truth will be established. Stokes, a member of 10 scientific societies including the prestigious Explorers Club of New York, said his teaching and writing have made him increasingly aware of the need for reasonable reconciliations between science and religion. An article by a University of Utah professor emeritus of geology and geophysics on the support of scientific evidence for the Biblical version of creation is featured in the November issue of The Investigator, a new magazine edited and published by Jack Anderson. Dr. William L. Stokes, who retired last July after 34 years on the U. of U. faculty, discusses his ivestigation of Genesis, the first book of the Old Testament, in the light of the latest scientific knowledge. Perhaps no other mystery There are few indications this is happening, he added. What prevails is a state of wary avoidance, weary apathy and noncommunication, he said. There is an uneasy truce in which science refrains from trying to convince theology of its errors and theology leaves science to go its misguided Godless way. In his article, Stokes said Americas space flights are providing growing evidence of the unique qualities of our planet. The conditions had to be exactly right before the Earth could bring forth and support the life that abounds here. Who is to say that God was not behind those elaborate preparations? Many creationists mistakenly insist on a literal interpretation of every word and phrase of scripture, the professor said. The Book of Genesis, if not interpreted that narrowly, explains creation with brevity, dignity and simplicity, he said. Stokes wrote Creation Scriptures in 1979, his first of two books detailing his scientific analysis of the Biblical version of creation. The second book, The Genesis Code, will soon be issued. It is the basis for the Investigator article. Stokes is also the author of the popular and widely used geology Essentials of Earth textbook, History, which goes to a fourth edition in January 1982.
