Gerard J. Keane (November 21, 1940 - )

Gerard Keane made a living in the building industry. He initially served a five- year Carpentry apprenticeship having mostly worked as a building estimator. Gerard built various houses and units along the way and still greatly enjoys working with tools such as in carpentry and painting. Back in the 1970’s Keane began to take serious interest in the origins debate because he was concerned about the collapse of belief that was taking place within Catholicism and his hunch that it was influenced by pro-evolution beliefs. He was basically interested to find out more about the truth of the creation/evolution controversy.

Keane has over 20 years serious interest and research in creation/evolution origins matters. He became interested in the idea of writing a comprehensive treatment of Origins and in conceptual problems affecting religious belief. In 1981, he was invited to write an article for a Catholic journal in Melbourne, Australia. As it turned out, after ten years spent re-writing the manuscript a number of times, he eventually self-published the first edition of the book Creation Rediscovered – Evolution and the Importance of the Origins Debate in 1991. Then over several years revised and enlarged the second edition in 1999 and published it through TAN Books & Publishers. Keane’s argument from the science of fingerprints is an original contribution to the origins debate. It concerns the reality of a unanimous precedent locked in place in both law and science against the credibility of immense odds. To believe in evolution is to accept odds that are immensely greater than those regarded as impossibly high in the science of fingerprinting. He is very interested in conceptual problems affecting beliefs with the origins debate. In particular, Keane believes that the term “evolution” must be defined so that confusion is removed from an already heated discussion. Accordingly, he includes one in his book.

In October 2004 another project of his, Special Creation Revisited, was published by the Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation, Woodstock, Virginia. Like the earlier books, it addresses the situation with the Catholic Church but of course covers the various scientific issues and has more material from the church fathers than he had previously.

Keane has spoken widely on the importance of the Origins debate to audiences in Australia, New Zealand, the United States of America, Canada, France, the United Kingdom and Ireland with emphasis on the vital integrity of Genesis. He has several creationist articles or substantial letters published in various journals including Christian Order (United Kingdom) in the 1990’s, New Oxford Press (USA), Fidelity (Australia) and has had a number of interviews.

Until recently he was a member of the Master Builders Association of Victoria, and a member of the Australian Institute of Building. Keane is now one of thirty members of the advisory panel of the Kolbe Center For The Study Of Creation.

Henrietta Swan Leavitt (July 4, 1868 – 1921)

Henrietta Leavitt was born in Lancaster, Massachusetts, and the daughter of a Congregational minister. She graduated from Radcliffe College in 1892. She became interested in astronomy in college. Unfortunately, she got sick after her graduation from college. She did recover from her sickness, though it left her almost completely deaf. In 1895 she accepted a position as a research assistant at Harvard College Observatory. In 1902 she became a permanent staff member of the Harvard College Observatory. She soon rose by her scientific ability and intense application to head the department of photographic stellar photometry. During her time at Harvard, she worked with Annie Jump Cannon who was also a deaf astronomer to measure the visual magnitudes of stars. Both of these women received awards and were honored.

Leavitt spent a great deal of time searching Harvard photographic plates for variable stars in the Megallanic Clouds. Using a laborious process called superposition, in 1904 she discovered 152 variables in the Large Magellanic Cloud, and 59 in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The next year she reported 843 new variables in the Small Magellanic Cloud. These discoveries led Charles Young of Princeton to remark in a letter to Harvard College Observatory director E. C. Pickering, “What a variable-star ‘fiend’ Miss Leavitt is one can’t keep up with the roll of the new discoveries.”

Leavitt’s greatest discovery came from her study of 1777 variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds. She was able to determine the periods of 25 Cepheid variables in the Small Magellanic Cloud and in 1912 announced what has since become known as the famous Period-Luminosity relation: “A straight line can be readily drawn among each of the two series of points corresponding to maxima and minima, thus showing that there is a simple relation between the brightness of the variable and their periods.” Leavitt also realized that “since the variables are probably nearly the same distance from the earth, their periods are apparently associated with their actual emission of light, as determined by their mass, density, and surface brightness.” Today the Period-Luminosity relation is one of the backbones of the “distance ladder” used to calculate the distances of galaxies.

In the course of her work, Leavitt discovered four novae and approximately 2400 variables – about half of all the variable stars then known to exist. She also studied Algol-type eclipsing binaries and asteroids.

Leavitt was a member of Phi Beta Kappa, The American Association of University Women, the American Astronomical and Astrophysical Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and an honorary member of the American Association of Variable Star Observers. Unfortunately, she died young at the age of fifty-three in 1921 of cancer before her work on a new photographic magnitude scale could be completed. Her colleagues viewed her death as a “near calamity”. Leavitt’s important contribution to scientific advancement was internationally acknowledged when, in 1925, the Swedish Academy of Sciences nominated her for the Nobel Prize. Her name was given to a crater of the moon to honor deaf men and women who have worked as astronomers.

Miss Leavitt inherited, in a somewhat chastened form, the stern virtues of her puritan ancestors. She took life seriously. Her sense of duty, justice and loyalty was strong. For light amusements she appeared to care little. Leavitt was a devoted member of her intimate family circle, unselfishly considerate in her friendships, steadfastly loyal to here principles, and deeply conscientious and sincere in her attachment to her religion and church. She had the happy faculty of appreciating all that was worthy and lovable in others, and was possessed of a nature so full of sunshine that, to her, all of life became beautiful and full of meaning.

He took his B.S.E. degree in Biology from the University of Florida in 1963, a Master of Science degree in Ecology from Purdue University in 1967, and a Ph.D. in Genetics from Purdue University in 1971. His Ph.D. thesis involved developing a technique for mapping the genes of a nitrogen-fixing bacterium.

Dr. Lester was a Biology Teacher at Evans High School from 1963 to 1967, and was Adjunct Professor of Biology for Christian Heritage College, San Diego from 1974 to 1975. He has served at the University of Tennessee, Chattanooga as Assistant Professor of Biology from 1970 to 1973. Lester spent a year on the writing faculty as minicourse developer of the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study Center at the University of Colorado from 1973 to 1974. He was Extension Scientist for the Institute for Creation Research and is on their Technical Advisory Board. Dr. Lester was a Professor of Biology at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia and Director of the Center for Creation Studies at Liberty University that operates the Museum of Earth & Life History and in which he has taught the “History of Life” to six hundred students annually since 1979 until 1997. He is currently a Professor of Biology at Emmanuel College in Franklin Springs, Georgia.

Lester is the author of a number of articles and books. His numerous articles have appeared in The Virginia Journal of Science, American Biology Teacher, The Science Teacher and others. Lester’s books include Cloning: Miracle or Menace? (Tyndale House, 1980) co-authored with J. N. Hefley and Natural Limits to Biological Change (Word Books, 1984) co-authored with R. T. Bohlin among others. He was elected to Sigma Xi, the honorary science research fraternity, is a member of the National Association of Biology Teachers, is listed in Who’s Who in the South and Southwest, and was formerly a member of MENSA. Dr. Lester has previously served on the Board of the Bible Science Association.

Lane was once a theistic evolutionist. Even though when he first hear Dr. Duane Gish of the Institute for Creation Research at a creation seminar in the early 1970s he was a Christian, Dr. Lester’s scientific training at secular universities had led him to believe that evolution – not creation – was the true model of origins. Dr. Gish’s arguments were so persuasive, however, that Dr. Lester quickly abandoned evolution and embraced the concept of creation by a creator, instead.

Sir Albert William Liley KCMG, DSc Vict PhD ANU MBChB BmedSc Otago Dip Obs FRSNZ FACOG FRCOG (March 12, 1929 – 1983)

Albert William Liley was was born in Auckland on March 12, 1929. He was educated at Royal Oak Primary School and Auckland Grammar School before undertaking the first year of his medical course (medical intermediate) at the University of Auckland. He was awarded a University National Scholarship in 1947. From his primary school days onwards his intellectual capacity had been obvious and he distinguished himself in his years at Auckland University and at Otago. He was gold medallist in anatomy in 1950, obtained a Senior Scholarship in medicine and was awarded the Travelling Scholarship in medicine in 1954. He declined to take up that scholarship. Instead he proceeded to the Australian National University at Canberra. Liley was inspired to enter a career in medical science through the opportunity to undertake a Bachelor of Medical Science under then Professor, later Sir John, Carew Eccles. Together with Ken North, he undertook some pioneering work in neurophysiology and he maintained strong contact with Eccles and the Department of Physiology whilst completing his MBChB degrees.

He undertook the final year of his medical course in Auckland and came under the influence of Professor Harvey Carey who recognised Bill Liley for his intellectual qualities, his capacity for lateral thinking, enthusiam and depth of compassion.

Bill Liley took up a research scholarship in physiology at the Australian National University and worked on various aspects of synaptic transmission. During this period he published four papers in the Journal of Physiology, an outstanding achievement for a recently qualified medical graduate from New Zealand. These were single-author papers, a tribute to Liley and to Eccles and the environment he had created in Canberra. A considerable tug-of-war ensued between the unit in the John Curtin School at Canberra and Carey’s group in the National Women’s Hospital in Auckland. Auckland won out and Bill Liley returned to Auckland as a Sandoz Research Fellow. He held that position in obstetrics until the end of 1958 when he was awarded a Medical Research Council of New Zealand Research Fellowship in obstetrics. Upon returning to New Zealand he undertook the "seventh year" of his original medical course and thus became a registered medical practitioner for the first time!

From 1958 until the time of his premature death in 1983, he held a series of appointments within the Medical Research Council of New Zealand and the University of Auckland. In 1968 he was appointed to a Personal Chair in Perinatal Physiology at the Postgraduate School of Obstetrics and Gynaecology in the University of Auckland.

In 1965 he took his only extended period of overseas leave when he accepted a position at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York during the tenure of a US Public Health Service international post-doctoral research fellowship. In 1967 he was awarded CMG and in 1973 was made KCMG.

Liley's bibliography reflects the growth of his ideas and his major contributions to international medical science generally and to obstetrics in particular. He maintained wide connections within the medical scientific community internationally. In comparison with many colleagues of lesser stature, he was not a prolific publisher and many of his contributions to clinical science and clinical investigation are buried in the publications of others. That was the way he wanted it. Together with Professor G H Green and Professor Graham (Mont), now Sir Graham Liggins, he was one of a powerful triumvirate that built enormously on the foundations prepared by Professor Carey, and continued into the new National Women’s Hospital on the Claude Road site in Greenlane.

Throughout his career Bill Liley asked practical questions concerning the plight of those who were disadvantaged in a medical sense. His experiences as a final year medical student working under Professor Carey influenced him greatly. He was particularly attracted to the problems of unborn and newly born children. Although he did not follow a classical career as a newly qualified doctor, he remained a dedicated and compassionate medical professional. He also recognised the need in all forms of science to select and concentrate his energy on one major issue. He chose what was then (and still is) known as Rh haemolytic disease of the newborn. His approach to the problem typified his ability to stand back at each stage, review scientific progress and assess what issues remained and to put them into perspective. He was a meticulous clinical investigator checking each step carefully as he went. Equally, he had a hypothesis clearly in mind that he was testing at each stage. The problem of Rh haemolytic disease was a major issue in obstetrics, partly because some basic knowledge had been developed in the 1940s and early 50s. At the time he entered the field, perinatal mortality was about 25%, quite clearly an unacceptable situation.

Liley extended spectrophotometry of amniotic fluid to a much wider range of potentially affected pregnancies, thus establishing a sound epidemiological base that he could relate to the erection of hypotheses aimed at improving diagnosis and management. He believed this was one of his main contributions to obstetrics and he certainly rapidly gained an international reputation for this work. In particular, because of his work, it was now possible to identify which baby could be retained safely in utero for a normal gestation period and which should be delivered. This diagnostic precision resulted in a fall of perinatal mortality from haemolytic disease to 8% at the National Women’s Hospital. However, it was clearly not possible on that basis alone to further reduce the mortality. As in many areas of science, major advance results from what is loosely termed serendipity. However, it is not luck that determines these major advances, but rather the presence of a disciplined prepared mind that can capitalize upon an observation, the significance of which would be ignored by others. During one amniocentesis, Liley "accidentally needled the distended fetal abdomen. Instead of getting deep yellow, cloudy, amniotic fluid I got brilliant, golden, clear fluid which was obviously ascitic fluid; this windfall was easily confirmed by injection of contrast medium. .............it occurred to me that if we could needle the fetal peritoneum without even trying then we could perhaps do it deliberately and put it to some good use". (Liley, A, 1965, Paediatrics, Vol. 35: 836-846). The second element in what the world came to regard as his major contribution, occurred when "a young English lady, aged 22, a geneticist who had been working in Nigeria on her favourite topic of sickle cell disease, visited Auckland................with her she had some beautiful blood slides from neonates and infants homozygous HbS, who had been given normal cells intraperitoneally. There were floods of normal cells in their peripheral blood, and this was good enough evidence for us that cells could be taken up from the peritoneum in massive quantity and at a relatively rapid rate". (Liley, A, 1965, Paediatrics, Vol. 35: 836-846). The rest is history.

Liley’s clinical investigation extended well beyond the issues raised by Rh haemolytic disease. He thought hard and worked hard on the very important problems of what was formerly called toxaemia of pregancy, with its frequent tragic outcomes. His sound background in physiology served him well as he explored the relationships between blood volume, weight gain and rising blood pressure in pregnant women. His reading covered an enormous range, he consulted widely and spent much time thinking, in his attempts to produce an embracing hypothesis that could solve these problems, which are still not covered even today, by a unifying hypothesis.

Liley's work with the fetus and with families strengthened the vigour of his advocacy for the unborn child. His strong commitment to the unborn child led to close contacts, particularly with the Catholic Church and, as a non-Catholic, he was made a member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences. The Catholic and Anglican Bishops of Auckland conducted his funeral service jointly.

Liley served the community in many ways. He was the University of Auckland representative on the Auckland Grammar School Board of Governors from 1969 until his death. He was a frequent contributor to public occasions and a major ambassador for science generally and medical science in particular. He was in steady demand for presentations overseas.

Liley was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 1965 and was a Fellows’ Councillor in 1971 and between 1973 and 1978. He was a member of the WHO Expert Advisory Panel on maternal and child health from 1968 until his death. He became an Honorary Fellow of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists in 1975 (elected), he was a member of the Medical Research Council of New Zealand between 1972 and 1978 and Chairman of the South Pacific Committee between 1973 and 1978. In 1980 he was appointed a member of the International Association for Advice and Research on Mental Deficiency and was Chairman of the Scientific Council of that association from 1980 until his death. He was elected Honorary Foreign Fellow of the Chicago Gynaecological Society in 1965 and of the New Jersey Obstetrical Society in 1966. In 1972 he was elected to Honorary Life Membership of the Paediatric Society of New Zealand and in 1977 elected to Honorary Membership of the Neonatal Society of the United Kingdom. Bill Liley lived life to the full. He married Helen Margaret Hunt in 1953. She became an antenatal care physician at National Women’s Hospital. They had two sons and three daughters and an adopted daughter. Professor G H Green referred to the adoption in an obituary published in the New Zealand Medical Journal August 10 1983, pp 631-632, "a little known response to the criticism often heaped on him for his uncompromising pro-life attitudes was his and the family’s adoption of a daughter with Down’s Syndrome who might in different circumstances never have achieved birth, but who in the Liley environment developed a wonderful vocabulary". Sir William was devoted to his children and was ahead of his time as a health professional and scientist in ensuring that he shared adequate time with them, as their attentive father and guide. He shared baby and child sitting duties to enable Margaret to develop her career. He enjoyed manual skills and made toys and furniture for his children.

Together with colleagues and friends within and outside medicine, Bill and Margaret Liley spent much time farming an 88 hectare property near Bennydale in the King Country. Here also the children and their involvement was a primary commitment. Children from other families shared in this unique experience. As with all other activities, Bill Liley made a careful study of silviculture and he took much pleasure in mastering the various manual techniques. He was a prime mover in new directions for forestry development. His enthusiasm and eagerness to share ideas excited many New Zealand farmers and people with small land holdings. These interests inspired the future national and international career of Bill Liley Jnr. Sir William Liley embodied many characteristics that have typified the leaders and giants of scientific endeavour in New Zealand. He combined top-flight intellectual ability with practical skills, humanity and humility. His accomplishments indicated to his generation and those coming after that achievement on a world scale was very much within the grasp of dedicated scientists who chose to return to or remain in New Zealand.

James Gordon Lindsay (1906 – April 1, 1973)

James Gordon Lindsay (1906-1973) was born in Zion, Illinois. His parents were disciples of John Alexander Dowie, the father of healing revivalism in America. After the family moved to Portland, Oregon, the young boy was influenced by John G. Lake and converted by Charles G. Parham. At the age of eighteen he began his ministry as a traveling evangelist conducting meetings in Assembly of God churches and other Pentecostal groups.

When World War II broke out, Lindsay accepted a call to become pastor of a church in Ashland, Oregon. In 1947 he resigned the position to become William Branham's manager. Soon after Lindsay's publication, The Voice of Healing, appeared in 1948 Branham announced his retirement from the revival circuit. The news came as quite a blow to Lindsay who had just begun the revival publication to cover Branham's meetings. Revivals and coverage of other evangelists began to appear in the magazine as it circulated nationwide.

The group sponsored the first convention of healing evangelists in Dallas, Texas during 1949 began to function as a loose fellowship of ministers called Voice of Healing. As the popularity of some members rose they left the fellowship to establish their own organizations and publish their own literature.

Lindsay's own work began to move in the direction of missions. He began sponsoring missions programs in several foreign countries and started a radio ministry. During 1956 he conducted a Winning the Nations Crusade sending teams of ministers all around the world. The Voice of Healing magazine changed names briefly to World-Wide Revival in 1968 before the final change to Christ for the Nations. One of Lindsay's last visions before his death was a bible training institute in Dallas, Texas. Christ For The Nations Institute began in 1970 and has trained thousands of students from around the world. Lindsay was a prolific writer, publishing over 250 volumes of historical and doctrinal books on the healing revival movement. His ministry came to a halt with his sudden death April 1, 1973. Lindsay's wife Freda and family continued the work he began. Christ for the Nations, Inc. has five main facets: a national church program; a national literature work; a Jewish mission in Israel; national and international Bible training schools; and a prayer and tape ministry. He wrote Evolution – the Incredible Hoax: Christ or Gorilla, Which? (Dallas, Texas: Voice of Healing, 1960).

George D. Lindsey Ed.D. (September 20, 1943 - )

George Lindsey was born in Dallas, Texas on September 20, 1943. In 1967, at the age of 24, he received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology from East Texas State University, in Commerce, Texas. Following that, at the same university, he received a Master of Science Degree in Biology in 1968 and a Doctorate in Science Education in 1981.

Dr. Lindsey was formerly a Professor of Science at Christian Heritage College in El Cajon, California and where he taught a course on creation. He was Chairman of the Natural Sciences Department there as well. For years, he taught his students that the question of origins really was not an important issue. Although he was a Christian, Dr. Lindsey used to tell his public-school students it only mattered that we were here.

Lindsey’s indifference toward the creation/evolution controversy changed, however, when he observed that humanists were using evolution to do away with God. Conversely, he recognized that if God is Creator, then that gives Him all authority in the lives of every person. Today, Dr. Lindsey believes that how people view their origins will greatly influence their personal lives, as well as all of society.

Dr. Lindsey’s students were deeply appreciative of the fact that he could take technical, scientific information and make it understandable and logical. He enjoyed the interaction he had with the graduate students at the Institute for Creation Research, especially in the Advanced Studies in Creationism course offered in the summer.

Dr. Lindsey was grateful for the opportunity to work with the Institute for Creation Research as they proclaimed the vital truth that our world cannot afford to be indifferent concerning the creation/evolution issue. He is now at LeTourneau College in Texas.

Derek A. Linkens BSc(Eng), MSc, PhD, DSc(Eng),ACGI, C Eng, FIEE, FinstMC

Professor Derek Linkens joined the Department of Automatic Control and Systems Engineering in 1969 soon after its formation. He served as its Head of Department from 1988 to 1993, and was then Dean of Engineering from 1993 to 1996.

Prior to coming to Sheffield he worked in industry, initially with GEC Plessey, Ilford developing underwater weapons and then with GEC Elliot Flight Automation, Rochester in research into numerous aspects of flight guidance, autopilot design (Concorde) and avionics automatic testing. He has been involved actively with the professional institutes of the IEE (now IET) and the Inst MC for which he was President in 1993, having fulfilled several other positions both prior to and after that time. He was awarded the Sir Harold Hartley silver medal in 1994 for `contributions to the technology of measurement and control of outstanding merit´. He was elected to a Fellowship of the Royal Academy of Engineering in 2005. He has been active in several Networks of Excellence in Europe and is currently the Technical Chair of NiSIS (Nature-inspired Smart Information Systems).

Professor Linkens has published over 400 refereed papers in academic journals and conference proceedings. Eight of these papers have received prize awards. He has been active in biomedical systems engineering for over 30 years, initially in mathematical modelling of the human digestive tract. Subsequent areas of research were in cardio-respiratory modelling and identification, anaesthesia monitoring and control, and patient ventilator management. Other topics have been pharmaceutical drug modelling and optical materials processing. This has encompassed several areas of intelligent systems including expert systems, neuro-fuzzy modelling and self-organising fuzzy control. In recent years these techniques have been applied in the very different area of metal properties prediction and control. This has incorporated microstructural analysis and modelling within IMMPETUS (Institute for Microstructual and Mechanical Process Engineering: The University of Sheffield), of which he was a Co-founder and subsequent Director. This has led to innovative hybrid intelligent modelling architectures for a number of aluminium and steel alloys.

Yingguang Liu Ph.D.

Dr. Yingguang Liu is Associate Professor of Science in the Department of Applied Sciences at Maranatha Baptist Bible College in Watertown, Wisconsin. He has a Bachelors degree in Medicine from Shandong Medical University in Jinan, China, and a Masters degree of Medicine from Shanghai Medical University. Liu also has a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from Ohio University at Athens. He has authored several publications and abstracts on humoral and cellular immune responses, and viruses. Dr. Liu has taught at Ohio University at Athens, and been a staff doctor at Jinan Hospital of Infectious Diseases in Shandong Providence, China. He did research in the field of molecular virology for a total of twelve years, with publications in the field.

Dr. Liu says he teaches biology on a level that Charles Darwin did not know. He indicates that the delicate interplay of molecules within biological systems was still a black box decades ago and that the interdependence of genes, proteins, and membranes constitutes the greatest challenge to the gradualistic evolution of Darwinism. His current research interest is the fate of duplicated genes and viral pathogenesis.

Liu believes that the word of God stands and defends itself against fallen philosophies and the idolatry of evolutionism. His goal is to equip young Christians with the scientific knowledge and skills needed to strengthen their faith in a world of humanistic chauvinism. He indicates that good science done by creationists is a testimony to those who accuse fundamentalists of being ignorant and that his students should do well even in secular professions using science and technology.

Marvin L. Lubenow was born in Fargo, North Dakota. Even before he became a Christian, Lubenow knew that evolution was not logical. Later, as a pastor, he became convinced that it was important to believe in creation - not only in theory, but in practice.
