VOLUME 14, NUMBER 4 August 1972



27th ANNUAL MEETING: PRESUPPOSITTONS OF SCIENCE 


By now you should not only have the program of the 1972 NATIONAL MEETING of the

AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC AFFILIATION in hand, you should have your reservation at Winters College of YORK UNIVERSITY, TORONTO, ONTARIO, or at a nearby motel. The four-day program, AUGUST 21 - 24, should be thoroughly rewarding. Chairman Russell Heddendorf  has done a fine job of blending scholarly speakers from different fields into a unified theme, "A Christian Response to the Presuppositions of Science."

Local arrangements chairman
Doug Morrison has been hard at work, too, but it doesn't show in advance. You can savor the intellectual treat by reading the printed program, but you have to attend an Annual Meeting to sample the hospitality and warm fellowship ASA affords.

Many ASA members make the National Meeting an occasion for a family vacation each August. A helpful pamphlet, "Traveling in Ontario," on request from the Department of Tourism and Information, 185 Bloor Street East, Toronto 5, Ontario, Canada, will make you want to leave plenty of time before or after the meeting to visit Toronto and the rest of Ontario.

An added reason for attending this year's Meeting is the opportunity to meet our new full-time Executive Secretary, Bill Sisterson, and give him your ideas for the future of ASA. An even more important reason is to thank Harold Hartzler in person for his dedicated service as our long-term part-time triple-threat Executive Secretary. (For Harold, part-time really meant part-pay/full-time on the job.

DON'T FORGET TO VOTE

Election day comes in November, but long before that you should have responded to the Dialogue in the June 1972 Journal of ASA. Send in the Response Form on p. 77 of that issue to participate in the discussion initiated by Russ Maatman and Dick Bube on "Inerrancy, Revelation, and Evolution." Polls close November 1, jus efor( that other election day.

Editor Bube says responses have been slow coming in and he doesn't want readers to forget or give up over the summer. (We suspect a lot of people are like us, not wanting to chop up a single page of their favorite publication. If you do send in a
it reasonable facsimile" instead of clipping out p.77, don't forget to suggest other Dialogues as requested on the reverse of the Response Form.)

THE EX- IN THE ASA_E_QUATION

At the time of the May Council meeting, the American Scientific Affiliation had total of 1,765 members (139 Fellows; 1,389 Members; 237 Associates). That shows healthy growth over the past five years. But in that period about 500 others failed to renew their membership. Harold Hartzler sent all these ex-members a double postcard to find out why they had dropped out of ASA. As a result, eight memberships were renewed, and a total of 153 cards were returned.


Tabulation of reasons for non-renewal indicated 41 persons whose interests had shifted to other areas, 13 who could no longer afford the dues, and 33 who felt their views to be incompatible with the ASA viewpoint. Seven of the 33 regarded themselves as more liberal, 21 as more conservative, one sought a more technical and two a less technical approach. Several had moved out of the U. S., including one who thought it might be interpreted as illegal to receive anything contrary to the Moslem faith in the country where he now lives. The 56 cards returned with specific comments and criticisms are being studied by the Executive Council. But cheer up, fellas. Remember there are 1,765 of us who think you're doing a great job!

HOW TO START SOMETHING No. 13. JACK BALSWICK

Choosing a church in a university community can mean painful compromise. We are not surprised to find some churches spiritually warm and others cold, or to find some intellectually stimulating and some stultifying. But why, with the resources at hand, must we choose between moribund intelligence on one hand and fervent ignorance on the other? And what can be done about it?

The situation in Athens, Georgia, may never have been that bad. It is certainly better now, thanks to the efforts of six faculty members and students at the University of Georgia. We are indebted to Jack Balswick, associate professor of sociology for an account of the founding of "The University Church" of Athens, and for ideas others may be able to use in their own communities.

In the summer of 1970 this small group determined to form a dynamic fellowship presenting evangelical Christianity to the university in an intellectually respectable though personally relevant way. The preamble to the church constitution they drew up says: "We, as Christians, finding ourselves part of the University community, commit ourselves to the spiritual welfare of that community. Thus, in order to promote the integration of historic Christian faith with intellectual integrity and social concern, and to promote responsible Christian witness in the academic Community, we pledge ourselves to the service of God under this Constitution."

The church began meeting on Sunday mornings in one of the university buildings. Even though the church has grown, they still meet in a room in the student union to be more accessible to students. From the start, services have been designed to be as informal as possible and to encourage active participation of all those attending. An opening one-hour worship service is followed by a coffee break and an hour of informal discussion. The order of worship has been as experimental as the group considered Scripture to allow. (Having women speak at the worship services was " conscience-stretching" to some of the members, Jack says.)

The church began with a great asset in the person of Dan Orme, a PhD candidate in history who already had a B.D. from Covenant Theological Seminary. Dan has worked on regular tasks of organization and also carried about half of the load of speaking at the worship hour. In keeping with the goal of encouraging full participation of all, other members have spoken on alteruate SiinAays. Although various contemporary topics have been handled during the first hour (the Jesus People Movement, Christian sensitivity groups, women's liberation etc.), this service is primarily a worship service centered on Biblical exegesis ~y a speaker. The second hour has been reserved for discussions of relevant issues for those who desire this, with other groups meeting for a Bible study or a discussion of the morning sermon.

The most enthusiastic student response has been to discussions on "Christianity and Zen Buddhism," "Christian Social Concern," "A Theological Study of Romans," "A Christian Approach to Counseling," and "Christianity and the Social Sciences."

Each of these series extended over several weeks and attracted both Christian and non-Christian students and faculty. The discussions were led by Christians personally involved in the subject and were based upon academic evidence and Biblical truth. Despite the Christian orientation of the leaders, they stressed their commitment to an attitude of openness and respect toward those with differing viewpoints.

One of the most successful experiments of the church has been the establishment of a semi-annual theological conference centering around one major area of theology. Members of the congregation research a specific topic and present 15- to 30-minute lectures on the topic. At the last conference (on Christology), some of the topics were "Theories of the Atonement," "The Deity and Humanity of Christ," "Importance of the Logos Idea," and "The Historicity of Christ and its importance."

Presently the church is seeking the most beneficial ways to extend its outreach beyond Sunday morning services. They have tried both open discussion forums in a hon2o on Sunday evening and more formal evening Bible studies. They have
also met during the week for lunch and prayer in the office of one of the members on the faculty. The church is open to any change that might help them meet the needs of university students and faculty and varies its methodology as new needs arise or are made known. They have even made printed evaluation forms available for members or allyone in attendance to criticize what they are doing and to suggest changes.

Clearly, it is not only the informality of its worship service and its adherence to the doctrines of the historic Christian faith that make the University Church unique in the Athens community. It is their willingness to act on the belief that the Christian position is intellectually defensible, encouraging open discussion by those of any persuasion, Jack feels they have generally been able to maintain a truly open forum where diverse ideas are not suppressed but rather confronted: Ne believe that this openness to discussion and the honest intellectual effort on the part of church members to confront questions involving Christianity and the various academic pursuits are the major assets of the church."

An attractive little printed folder used for advertising the church includes this excellent paragraph:


We're sending a dozen copies of the "Scientist's Psalm" greeting card to Dr. Jack Balswick, Department of Sociology and Anthropology, The University of Georgia, Athens, GA 30601, to thank him for sharing these good ideas with us. Do you have a creative/redemptive experiment of your own to describe for ASA News readers? If so, we'll be glad to send you a dozen of our contemporary greet~ingcards. If not, get busy and START SOMETHING. Then tell us how you did it--and whether it worked.

A NEW PERSPECTIVE

"Evangelical Perspectives" is a series of books published by J. B. Lippincott Co. of
Philadelphia and edited by John Warwick Montgomery. The purpose is to show that
historic Christian theology, taken with full seriousness, is entirely compatible
with the best contemporary scholarship. The fifth book in the series, just released,
is The Stones and the Scriptures ($5.95) by Edwin M. Yamauchi, assistant professor
of history at Miami University, Oxford, Ohio.

In The Stones and the Scriptures, Ed has tackled the difficult task of summarizing (in 207 pages) the whole field of Biblical archeology. He makes a special effort to face the complexities of problem areas and to offer suggestions for handling these from an evangelical perspective. The book is particularly helpful in showing how more recent evidence has often overturned or modified opinions critical of the historicity of the Old or New Testaments. Also helpful are a chapter on the Dead Sea scrolls and one on the nature of archeological evidence. (Ed's succinct treatment made us feel we'd been dragged panting through many centuries and cultures of the Near East. But using the excellent bibliography and extensive notes of this up-todate reference book, we want to go back to some of the "digs" and study them inore leisurely.) More than a dozen photographs, most of them taken by the author, illustrate the volume.

Ed Yamauchi was born in Hilo, Hawaii, by the way. We don't know what languages he picked up there, but by the time he received his PhD in Mediterranean Studies at Brandeis University he was handling Greek, Hebrew, Akkadian, Egyptian, Coptic, Aramaic, Syriac, Mandaic, and Arabic. In 1968 he studied at the American Institute of Holy Land Studies in Israel and was able to participate in excavations at Jerusalem and at Tel Anafa in northern Israel.

CHRIST AND THE MODERN MIND

A new paperback from Inter-Varsity Press of Downers Grove, Illinois, contains contributions from a number of ASA members and other scholars known to our membership. Christ and the Modern Mind (312 pp.; $3.50) was written to guide students through the university, helping to strengthen their Christian life by developing the dimension of the mind. Robert W. Smith, chairman of the Department of Speech and Theater at Alma College, Michigan, has done a superb job as editor. He has chosen authors who not only have thought deeply about relating Christianity to their academic discipline, but who care enough about undergraduates to hold their deepest thoughts down to ten readable pages each!

From the cover: "To students entering a university the academic world often seems one gigantic maze. It's not the map of the campus that's confusing but the geography of the mind."

James W. Sire, editor of Inter-Varsity Press, probably deserves a lot Of the credit for producing a book so carefully aimed at the liberal arts student yet giving an accurate picture of the sciences. Jim says IVP is
hoping
many Christian colleges will choose Christ and the Modern Mind as a text for their freshman orientation program this fall. But it will be equally valuable to Christian students heading for a secular university. And perhaps it may sow the seed to produce a whole new generation of Christian scholars--and ASA members.

The 23 chapters on specific fields of study are grouped in sections on humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. Each section is preceded by an introduction surveying the whole area and its values and hazards for a Christian. David 0. Moberg of Marquette University wrote the introduction to the Social Sciences and Charles E. Hummel of Barrington College wrote on the Natural Sciences. Within the humanities section, ASA members will know the names of Kenneth L. Pike and of George I. Mavrodes on Philosophy, from their writings and participation in ASA meetings.

The social sciences are represented by John Scanzoni on Sociology; Jacob A Loewen on Anthropology; Robert J. Willoughby on Health and Physical Education; William H. Young on Education; Robert G. Clouse on History; Gordon R. Lewthwaite on Geography; E. Mansell Pattison on Psychology; Walfred H. Peterson on Political Science; and Thomas E. Van Dahm on Economics. The natural sciences section is composed of J. Frank Cassel on Biology; George W. Andrews on Geology; Walter R. Hearn on Chemlistry; Charles Hatfield on Mathematics; and Richard H. Bube on Physics.

A number of other professional scientists contributed by reading individual chapters
and making suggestions: Some names you might recognize are John W. Alexander
(geography); Ronald D. Anderson (education); L. Frank Brown (geology); Wilbur
Bullock (biology); Dewey Carpenter (chemistry); Donald E. DeGraaf (physics); Arnold
W. Flath (physical education); Lee Graver (mathematics); Lars I. Granberg (psychol
ogy); Arthur F. Holmes (philosophy); Frank E. Houser (social sciences); Robert D.
Linder (history); Eugene A. Nida (anthropolog ); William A. Smalley (anthropology); Arthur A. Stahnke (political science); John Vanden Berg (economics); and Eldad
Vanderlip (language). Robert B. Fischer provided special editorial help.

FAITH-LEARNING FACULTY WORKSHOP

Overlapping the ASA National Meeting is a Summer Faith-Learning Faculty Workshop in Chicago, sponsored by the new Christian College Consortium. Ten colleges comprise the Consortium: Bethel (Minn.), Eastern Mennonite (Va.), Gordon (Mass.), Greenville (Ill.), Malone (Ohio), Messiah (Pa.), Seattle Pacific (Wash.), Taylor (Ind.), Westmont (Calif.), and Wheaton (Ill.).

Resource people tentatively scheduled to be on hand at different times during the August 14-25 workshop included Frank Gaebelein of Stony Brook School, Nicholas Wolterstorff of Calvin College, Addison Leitch of Gordon-Conwell Seminary, Joseph Schwab of the U. of Chicago, and J. Edwin Orr, professor of world missions, Fuller Seminary.

RECENT CREATIONISTS ACTIVE

A press release from the Bible-Science Association, Box 1016, Caldwell, Idaho 83605, informs us that "the first mass convention of creationists" will beheld at the Holiday Inn Central in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, October 10-13, 1972. There are some 23 branches and groups associated with the Bible-Science Association, whose tenet is that "the universe and the world came here thousands of years ago by laws not around today any more, rather than the old idea of millions and billions of years ago." The meeting will feature group displays and a competition of science projects featuring creation by junior and senior high school students. Among those lecturing will be ASA members Henry Morris and John Klotz, and former ASA members William Tinkle, Frank Marsh, John Moore, and Walter Lammerts.

Another press release, from Columbia Union College, Tacoma Park, Maryland, describes a 45-minute film, a textbook, and several filmstrips being prepared for presentation to the California and Ohio state school systems. The project is the first major initiative of the Life Origins Foundation. It is intended to provide equal consideration of a sudden fiat creation along with evolution as theories of the origin of life: "According to ancient records this was accomplished in six 24-hour days and life forms were originally full-grown in roughly the same species categories in which they presently occur." Biologists from Columbia Union College and Andrews University, Berrien Springs, Michigan, have made expeditions to the Galapagos Islands to recheck Darwin's observations and to take motion pictures. The movie being produced also features an interview with an actor portraying Darwin, using a script written from Darwin's works. The filming is directed by the director of youth publications and film production of the General Conference of Seventh Day Adventists., Washington, D. C. All the materials, to be released in early 1973, are geared to the junior high level.

Somebody sent us an issue of the Jehovah's Witness publication, Awake, for 8 April 1972. The lead article, "The Radiocarbon Clock Gets A Checkup," and several other articles review aspects of Nobel Symposium 12: Radiocarbon Variations and Absolute Chronology (1970). In these unsigned but intelligently written articles, the authors list pitfalls in radiocarbon dating and conclude it is unreliable beyond 4,000 years ago. They see no pitfalls in using Biblical chronologies to date the creation of Adam at 4026 B.C.E. or the deluge at 2370 B.C.E. Evidently any date for a sample associated with man older than 6,000 years must be spurious to these authors because it is in conflict with Biblical chronology. In spite of their reservations about the validity of the method, however, they point out "the most significant result of radiocarbon dating, namely: Of all the dates found for samples associated with man's presence, the vast majority, perhaps more than 90 per cent, have turned out to be less than 6,000 years ago."

OREGON

This month's word on local section publicity comes from Paul Simpson, Oregon State University chemist and chairman of the Oregon section of~ ASA. At recent meetings Paul has asked people to state how they heard of the meeting, not only to find out which advertising efforts are most effective, but also as a convenient way of getting a list of everyone in attendance. This procedure adds a number of names to the regular mailing list. Here is the summary of how people heard of the May meeting (including some duplication of the 40 people present):



Paul concludes that personal invitation is the most effective means of contacti worth the effort even with many who receive the regular mailing. Broader, less personal advertising serves mainly to draw in new people. From some samples we've seen, the Oregon section seems to be covering all the bases:

To up-date the mailing list (kept on IBM cards, easy to revise), a reply card was sent to non-members with the last meeting announcement, to be returned if they wished to stay on the list. Although 81 of the 116 did not return the unstamped card, putative "dropouts" are being contacted to be sure they are not interested and that they are informed about ASA. So far, most of those contacted do wish to remain on the mailing list.

The last meeting announcement was sent to about 40 people not on the list, along with a letter and an ASA brochure. The letter began: "We would like to introduce you to the American Scientific Affiliation, a fellowship of men and women interested in the relationship of science and their Christian faith. The purpose of our local meetings is to serve the community through discussing areas of interest involving science and Christianity, so they are open to all interested persons, scientists or not, Christians or not. We hope you can attend our coming local meeting featuring..." Nine people replied affirmatively and two attended the meeting.

After weeding out the "not interested" people, Paul sent a copy of the section mailing list to the Mankato office so invitations to join ASA could be sent to interested non-members. A number of people expressed thanks for the invitation and Paul is hopeful that some will join as a result.

The section's "Check List of Group Contacts" shows that penetration of local evangelical churches goes beyond a letter to pastors enclosing an announcement for the church bulletin. Contact persons are named for individual adult and college Sunday school classes, as well as for campus groups such as Campus Crusade, IVCF, Navigators Chinese Christian Fellowship, etc. The Christian Supply Store, Christian radio station KWIL, university staff newsletter, campus calendar, and the OSU experimental college are not neglected. Members receive extra copies of meeting announcements and are encouraged to use them among their own contacts.

(Thanks, Paul. Is Oregon our paragon? Would other local sections care to contribute ideas that have worked even better?)


1. Executive Council-Meeting is scheduled for I p.m. Monday, August 21, preceding '~h_e27th ANNUAL MEETING of the AMERICAN SCIENTIFIC AFFILIATION, at YORK UNIVERSITY, DOWNSVIEW (TORONTO), ONTARIO, CANADA. Items for the agenda should be sent to the Executive Secretary in Mankato. Any ASA member may submit an item for consideration.


2. Tapes of 1971 National Meeting sessions at Whitworth College, Spokane, Washington are available from the Mankato office at $3 per tape. (It's a lot more fun to attend the meetings in person, although maybe slightly more expensive.)

 

3. Location of 1975 Annual Meeting has been confirmed as the campus of the University of California at San Diego. (For those who plan that far ahead! Meanwhile, keep in mind Geneva College, Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania, for 1973; Bethany Nazarene College, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, for 1974.)



4. Plans are to move the National Office of the ASA to Elgin, Illinois approximately
September 15. (This includes the office secretary.) The address will be
5 Douglas. Mail will still reach us if addressed to the Mankato address.



Stan Block of Winnetka, Illinois, was keynote speaker at the 4th annual Conference on Productivity and Incentives in Foundries sponsored by the National Foundry Association. Stan recently spoke on the subject, "Is the USA a Christian Nation?" at a picnic for international students held by the North Shore International Coffee House in Glenview, Illinois.

H. David Kay is completing his PhD in immunobiology at Iowa State University. This fall Dave begins postdoctoral work as a research associate at the U. of T.'s M. D. Anderson Hospital and Tumor Institute in Houston, Texas. (Just in time to be counted a charter member of the new ASA local section there, right?)

Max L. Frazier, Jr., is now pastor of the Winneshiek Evangelical Free Church, R. R. 3, Freeport, Illinois. In June he received an M.A. in Old Testament from Wheaton Graduate School, with a thesis on "The Background of Marriage Customs in the Old Testament."

David Gill has left secondary school teaching to devote full time to editing Rig t On and developing a study center/institute for the Berkeley area to bring together evangelical faith and sound scholarship in a wide variety of fields. Dave spent July 6-16 in Miami Beach, covering the Democratic National Convention for Right On. He had conversations with notables Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Ralph Abernathy, Benjamin Spock, and Julian Bond. With three other brothers from CWLF (Christian World Liberation Front), Dave dished out a lot of food and love for people camping in the park and saw more than a dozen confess Jesus as Lord. (For Dave's full account, see the August issue of Right On. $3/yr, from CWLF, Box 4307, Berkeley, CA_ 94704; or $6 if you want to be a "Friend of Right On.")

Elmer Hartgerink is employed by Miles Laboratories. He has been plant manager of the corn wet milling plant at Granite City, Illinois. Now Elmer is director of corporate environmental control at company headquarters in Elkhart, Indiana, with responsibility for 47 plants, world-wide.

Edwin A. Karlow, assistant professor of mathematics and physics at Columbia Union College, Tacoma Park, Maryland, has been named acting chairman of his department. Ed received his PhD in physics from Washington State University in June 1971. A paper based on his dissertation, "Optical and Magnetic Studies of Tripositive Thulium in Octahydrated Sulfate Crystals," was published in the Nov. 15, 1971, issue of the Journal of Chemical Physics.

A note has been received from David 0. Moberg asking us to make an address correction in the Newsletter. Mail does reach him at the address given in the new membership directory but it is not complete. The addition of Dept. of Soci. & Anthro. will make it complete.

John Roscoe has resigned his position as professor of educational research and head of the Department of Foundations of Education at Kansas State University. He is currently (1) attending Conservative Baptist Theological Seminary in Denver, (2) teaching a course in statistical methods at the U. of Colorado, (3) revising Fundamental Research Statistics for the Behavioral Sciences, and (4) wrestling with page proofs of The Funstat Package, a new book on computer applications in behavioral research.

Albert C. Strong has returned to the USA and is temporarily residing in Hillsboro, Oregon. His 21 years in Ethiopia (p. 6, April ASA News) were climaxed by a personal audience with H.I.M. Haile Selassie I to present the Emporor with some results of Al's publication and literacy work. Al shared with us a newspaper account of his work from the May 28 Ethiopian Herald of Addis Ababa.

Charles B. Thaxton is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of the History of Science at Harvard University. A letter to the editor from Charlie on "Presuppositions and Catastrophism" appears in that May issue of Pensee devoted to Immanuel Velikovsky, mentioned on the back page of the last ASA News (and advertised in Science, 23 June).

Orville S. Walters, psychiatrist all- Methodist Hospital of Central Illinois, Peoria, sent us a reprint of his interesting historical study of "The Concept of Attainment in John Wesley's Christian Perfection" from Methodist History 10 (3), 12-29 (April, 1972).

Edwin M. Yamauchi of Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, is speaking at a conference of Japanese Christians in the Chicago area this month. Ed's article on "Christianity and Cultural Differences" appeared in Christianity Today 16, 5-8 (23 June 1972).
