Can you please explain to us laymen out here what is meant by this quote you
posted. I think my problem lies in the definition of radiation. Just
hoping you can further expand upon this. Thanks.
"In progressive creationism there may be much horizontal radiation.
The amount is to be determined by the geological record and
biological experimentation. But there is no vertical radiation.
Vertical radiation is only by fiat creation. A root-species may give
rise to several species by horizontal radiation, through the process
of the unraveling of gene potentialities or recombination.
Horizontal radiation could account for much which now passes as
evidence for the theory of evolution. The gaps in the geological
record are gaps because vertical progress takes place only by
creation." (Ramm B. "The Christian View of Science and Scripture",
Paternoster: London, 1955, p191)
