When did Answers in Genesis change its name to "Anthropological Journal of Canada"?

Question

Just to avoid any confusion, the Canadian Anthropology Society does have a scientific journal called, "Anthropologica." No relation to AIG.

Answer 1

Actually, Squirrel, there was such a journal, but I can't find any website for it, so I suspect it is long extinct. AiG has been a rich lode of such fossils, but in fairness this quote is from other creationist quote mines and not displayed on the current AiG site. It appears they have evolved somewhat since the early days of the Creation Science Foundation.

The quote is originally from an obscure publication written over quarter of a century ago. It is unlikely to have been subjected to any peer review from mainstream scientists prior to publication.

The "Anthropological Journal of Canada" was founded and edited by one Thomas E. Lee, an anthropologist who was having a lot of difficulty having his reports and viewpoints about the Sheguiandah excavations published in more mainstream journals during the 1950s.

He was involved in a bitter dispute with his erstwhile colleagues at the time.

It also appears he set up his own "Anthropological Association of Canada" in opposition to the Canadian Anthropological Society. I can't find out whether his Association had more members than himself and his son, Robert E. Lee, who wrote the piece beloved by generations of creationist quote miners.

Thomas died in 1982. His son continued to edit the Journal for a short time. In my Google search I was unable to find any information on Robert or his scientific credentials, if any. I did, however, learn a bit about the American Civil War.

Perhaps the quote miners are unaware that the dispute that gave birth the the "Journal" and the "Association" was about the age of the Sheguiandah artifacts. Lee Snr was claiming they were at least 30,000 years old (75,000 by some accounts), much older than the 9500 years accepted by most mainstream anthropologists, and certainly older than 6,000 years!

Answer 2

The Anthropological Journal of Canada has nothing to do with any creationist organization.

My humanistic professor at a state university discredited carbon dating in the classroom over 30 years ago. Its pretty easy to do. Other dating methods have their own problems since radiometric dating presupposes information that cannot be known (the initial ratio of parent to daughter element and the amount of changes to the open system of the given rock). Rocks that are only days old have been measured to be billions of years old by this method.

Answer 3

If an atheist refuses to believe in the existence of the Anthropological Journal of Canada does that mean it does not exist?

Answer 4

They did it when we weren't looking. Those darn Canadian anthropologists!!!

Actually, I think they did it right when my IQ went up to 10,000,000, I became eight feet tall and started to be 500 pounds of solid muscle... yeah... that's the ticket...

Answer 5

Sorry, but I'm really tired and you majorly went over my head with that one.Ha.
