An attempt is made to determine when humans have had a soul. For this purpose, mind and soul are distinguished from each other. This clarification of terms makes it possible to criticise the emergentist view, which assumes that the soul arises naturally from the biological organism. The existence of a soul is inferred from the mental activities of...

Stromatoporoid sponges flourished throughout the Silurian Period, during the Middle Devonian Epoch, and the first half of the Late Devonian Epoch (Frasnian Age). Their prime habitats were in shallow carbonate seas of the tropics and sub-tropics. During the middle Early Devonian (Pragian Age) there was a global decrease in stromatoporoid generic div...

Three different aspects are presented that can motivate people to work for the preservation of creation. All three motivations are closely linked to Christianity, so that Christianity could become the key to solve the global problems. The three motivations are 1) the admiration and the praise of creation, 2) the personal relationship with the God o...

By means of a synthesis of Christian faith, theology and natural sciences, the significance of freedom in God’s plan of creation and redemption was contemplated. The triune God is the foundation of all freedom. The freedom of his creatures is extremely important to God. Despite the Angelic Fall, he created our universe, in which on the path of evol...

A synthesis of research results of modern natural sciences and fundamental statements of the Christian faith is attempted.

The Middle Devonian was a phase of extensive reef systems on a global scale. In this context, one of the best-known examples is the Givetian-Frasnian Hönne Valley Reef Complex in the northern Rhenish Massif, Germany. While there are several studies on the reefal faunal composition and stratigraphy, there is a great lack of knowledge concerning micr...

Rugose corals are an extinct group of marine animals that are frequently found in Palaeozoic shallow marine sediments. Just like their counterparts the stony corals (the Scleractinia) do today, during the Palaeozoic the rugose corals were important constructors of reefs. Although at first glance rugose corals look very similar to the Scleractinia,...

Abstract: New results about the weathering decay and weathering resistance of limestone building ston...

The marine Middle Devonian of the Rheinisches Schiefergebirge is characterized by a very raried development, both lithologically and faunally. Hence, stratigraphic correlations are sometimes problematic. Short-term global environmental alternations may lead to long-term synchronous and worldwide lithofacies changes and changes in the biota, also. S...
