Arthur C. Custance (1910–1985) was a Canadian anthropologist, scientist and author specializing on science and Christianity.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biography of Arthur Custance )〕 ==Early life and career== Custance was born in England. He received his early education there and moved to Canada at age 19. He attended the University of Toronto where he obtained an M.A. in Hebrew and Greek. He also became a Christian during this time. He went on to earn a Ph.D. in Biblical archaeology and anthropology. Between 1957 and 1972 he wrote the ten volume "Doorway Papers" that attempt to bridge the gap between a scientific and a Christian worldview. In his scientific career, Custance "developed and designed respirator mask, mask-sizing meter, anthropometric facial contour measuring device. and the Custance Sudorimeter for accurate measurement of levels of heat stress". (see http://custance.org) He also wrote Without Form and Void (1970), a scholarly and in-depth treatment of the Gap Theory of Creationism. An expert on the most ancient Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek versions of the bible, he concluded that the opening lines of the English version of Genesis should be translated as "In a former state God perfected the heavens and the earth; but the earth had become a devastated ruin." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Arthur Custance」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
