[net.origins] Wanted: spinoffs

yudelson@aecom.UUCP (Larry Yudelson) (11/08/84)

	I am currently writing on an article on Evolution/Creationism
from an Orthodox Jewish perspective.  For a point in the argument,
I need to know if our understanding of the first 20 billion yeas of the
history of the world has given us any practical side effects. (Knowledge
per se may be fine, but that's a religios belief (which I share)).
	Recently someone mentioned the use of plate-tectonics to predict
the location of mineral deposits.  Further information on this and other
uses for our knowledge of evolution and cosmology would be appreciated.

	Of course, the article will be posted to this group when completed.

	Thank you,

	Larry Yudelson
