Baraminology from Past Generations
Todd Wood has a new paper out on some of older discussions of baraminology from the 1500s and 1600s. It's very interesting because while it predates baraminology by several centuries, the framework of thought is already there. For instance:
Anyway, it's interesting to see that although most Creationists in the current century knew little of these older works, that these answers are not unique to our generation, but have been recognized century after century.
- "Kinds" are not equivalent with species (in fact they have rather broad kinds as well).
- They had their own calculations of the space required for the animals on the ark (an interesting project would be to compare this with Woodmorappe's numbers.
- Discusses predatory nature of animals pre-flood (though comes to a different conclusion than most modern creationists)
- Discusses the shape of the ark for floating on the water
Anyway, it's interesting to see that although most Creationists in the current century knew little of these older works, that these answers are not unique to our generation, but have been recognized century after century.
