Thomas Biblical theory being opposed VANCOUVER (CP) - Two University of B.C. grad a wide variety of creationist i that to students have begun a move to counter the progress made earlier this year by a group eager to see the theory of biblical creation taught alongside evolution in public school science refute evolutionist theory. But Goodey and Billy say all this evidence can, in turn, be refuted easily. For example, the creation- ist claim that the second law Zoology students Wayne Goodey and Allen Billy founded citizens against the Undermining of Science Edu- cation, a group of scientists and interested lay persons formed to oppose the teaching of creationism in high school science classes. They say creationism is not a scientific theory and has no place in a science classroom. They are circulating a peti- tion to submit to Education Minister Brian Smith regist- ering their opposition and collected 600: signatures in’ one week. Earlier this year, Smith received a petition from the Creation Science Associati of th ies )which states that the world be- comes steadily more dis- ordered) is proof against the natural development of more complex species does not take into account the fact 7 G / Ann Landers “% could have saved himself A Toronto firm, Estate Locators of Canada, Inc.,. helped Moss acquire an $8,000 bank account owned by his late father, but they charged him 25 per cent to do it. Most of the information involved was on the public record, Moss inherited a dormant account, one that was in- active for at least nine years. Dormant accounts are listed annually in a supplement to the Canada Gazette, but Moss didn't notice the listing for his father, who died in: Under the Bank Act, dor- mant accounts are sent to the Bank of Canada and if they gre not claimed within 25 years, they become the prop-* erty of the Federal govern- ment. A year ago, Estate Loca- tors approached Moss and offered to help him locate the inheritance for a 30-per-cent fee. He refused initially, hoping to locate the inheri- Dear Ann Landers: |'m sure many people write to you to say how much you have helped them and how grateful they are. Well, this is going to be a different kind of letter. You have caused more than a little trouble in our marriage by repeating that phrase, “If you don’t use it, you ‘Il lose it.” My husband and | are in our 60s. We have had 40 years of more .

And since you have said so of- ten there is no reason married couples shouldn’t con- tinue to enjoy sex until they are into their 80s, he thinks we must keep trying. The truth of the matter is that neither of us enjoys it. It’s more of a bother than a pleasure. But because you keep saying, “it you don’t use it, you ‘Il lose it,” my feel we that the earth is supplied with energy from the sun, thus making possible the "building up” of species. Creationist assertions that radioactive carbon 14 dating has been proven as an inaccurate method of deter- mining the world’s age ignores the fact that carbon 14 is only meant to be used to date objects up to 10,000 years old, they say.

But Goodey and Billy say that because the theory of creation cannot be tested scientifically, it should not be presented as part of a science curriculum. REJECT EVIDENCE They also reject the evid- ence creationists present against the theory of evolu- ion. “We would have no prob- lem with ionism if it was claims that mutations can only result in deleterious effects to the organism are easily dis- proved by controlled selec- tion experiments with animals and plants, they say. Both Billy and Goodey say they are open to alternative theories of evolution provid- ing that such theories could be tested scientifically. “Any theory that is suff- iciently well supported by facts that can be explained by another theory does merit widely accepted by the sci- entific community as a viable theory, but it’s not,” said Goddey. “Simply saying it’s a science doesn't make it one.” The -two have had some difficulting recruiting supp- ort from among UBC's aca- demic community because so many professors regard creationism merely as a joke. In the last few months, they have been collecting P said Goodey. As such, he and Billy are not convinced of the iniolable accuracy of Darwinian evol- ution, but they regard it as the best explanation so far. “I believe that because we're trained in science we have an obligation to protect the public who don’t know anything about scientific theory or philosophy.

Dear Shack: They will never see your side of it, so give up on that one. What you must do is make your plans and move out — no matter how loudly they protest.

If your mother had worked out- side the home, would you have missed her? I certainly would have missed mine. And my children would miss ME. So, please Ann, say a word or two on this vital sub- ject.

Moss is angry with the system, complaining that the banks do not make enough accounts to locate effort to notify customers of dormant account. His father moved to British Columbia in 1967, but the bank sent the dormancy notices to his old, Saskatoon address. SHOULD NOT HAPPEN “This shouldn't have happened,” Moss said, “It wouldn't have if my father knew that the account was dormant.” His father probably forgot about the account, he said. Firms like Estate Locators and National Finders Co, of New York use basic informa- tion to help locate heirs, John O'Rourke of National Finders said checks of the Canada Gazette produce dormant accounts and then it is a matter of checking lib- raries, city directories and death certificates to track down the inheritors. It's a lot of work, but O'Rourke said he only goes to these lengths when the size of the account justifies it. Frederick Nourse of Es- tate Locators, said there are a number of ways to go about tracking down heirs, al- though he would not ela- borate. He did say it is possible to get private infor- mation from banks, “depend- ing on who you know.” Estate Locators gave Moss some private information about his father's account, although the bank branch said it did not divulge such background.

Not only do some foods affect the way drugs behave, said Shaw, but some drugs affect the way the body uses food. If the patient is an oder person who isn't eating well, certain types of medication can lead to vitamin defi- ciencies and poor nutrition. Drugs can act in various ways to impair proper nutr- ition. Some hasten excretion of certain nutrients; others hinder absorption of nutri- ents some interfere with the body’s ability to convert nut- rients into usable forms.
