Evolutionary Crisis and the Third Way by Jeffrey P. Tomkins, Ph.D. * Evidence for Creation Modern evolutionary theory has never been without its problems and controversies—even among secular scientists. Famed evolutionist Douglas Futuyma recently stated: Ever since the Evolutionary Synthesis of the 1930s and 1940s, some biologists have expressed doubt that the Synthetic Theory [the prevailing modern version of evolution, also called neo-Darwinism], based principally on mutation, genetic variation, and natural selection, adequately accounts for macroevolution, or evolution above the species level.1 In fact, two of the most prominent and vocal skeptics were actually the leading neo-Darwinist evolutionists of their...

She gave it the shaft. One of Karen Gould’s first acts as president of Brooklyn College was to thrust $107,000 into creating a new school logo — because the old clock-tower silhouette was supposedly too phallic looking, insiders said. Just months after Gould took the helm of the institution in 2009 as its first woman president, the college hired Baltimore-based Neustadt Creative Marketing to draft a new logo and redo the Web site. The company soon cut all visual references to the seminal symbol of the La Guardia Hall tower, erected in the 1930s. The new logo was all words:...

The mayor of an Arkansas city claims to have been pistol whipped following a heated discussion with council members, it has been reported. Earnest Nash, mayor of Gould, described the incident on Thursday evening as the culmination of months of abuse aimed at him and his family.

But that's just what the ordinances do - disbanding a citizens group, forbidding the Mayor from meeting with people and stopping any groups from forming if members discuss the city without...

PHOENIX — The sponsor of laws to broaden the right to carry guns in Arizona lashed out Monday at Gov. Jan Brewer for vetoing them. Sen. Ron Gould, R-Lake Havasu City, said he did not believe the governor's claims that the measures were flawed and had to be rejected. He said she was just “looking for cover,” trying to find any excuse at all to veto them. But the governor said Monday there were legitimate reasons for her actions. She said both were badly crafted. Brewer, however, refused to commit to signing a version of the measures that was clearer....

Arizona State Senator Ron Gould, who represents Lake Havasu City, received a death threat letter Tuesday from an anonymous sender in Flagstaff. According to the Arizona Republic, the letter was very short and did not specify why Gould was being targeted. [The letter] states, "You and Jared have your Glock 9. I have Rem. 270. Be very ready."
