Re: Bristlecone pine question.
Well, off the top of my head -- without doing any further research on the phylogeny of these taxa -- just look at the names and apply standard taxonomic naming schemes.
Pinus aristata and Pinus longaeva would be two separate species, according to taxonomic naming system. They belong to the same genus, Pinus. But since they differ in the second part of their name, they'd belong to different species.
Contrast this with Homo sapiens sapiens and Homo sapiens neanderthalensis (used by some anthropologists to describe the Neanderthal lineage); here, modern humans and Neanderthals belong to the same species but different subspecies.

Re: Bristlecone pine question.
And your position would be consistent with the Wiki -- but inconsistent with the Forest Service link and the Sciencemag link.
It is this discrepancy that I am trying to reconcile.
Thanks

Re: Bristlecone pine question.
Looking at the links it seems to me that the Bristlecone Pine was originally classified as one species Pinus aristata. At some point after the writing of the Science article (in 1968) it was recognised the the population previously denoted var. longaeva was a distinct species. The "synonym" in the Forestry Service article refers to the older nomenclature - while the article proper recognises it as a separate species.

Re: Bristlecone pine question.
Thanks PaulK. That may well be the answer.
Perhaps RAZD has some good historical info on this.

CRSQ article sought
"Tree-ring dating and multiple ring growth per year' Aardsma. CRSQ 29, Spring. pages 184189.
Tried my local library online journal access. No luck.
Any assistance appreciated.

Re: CRSQ article sought
The abstract is available here
The surprising conclusion:
It is found that the tree-ring/radiocarbon data are contrary to the suggestion of multiple ring growth

Re: CRSQ article sought
Thanks. I've seen the abstract -- just trying to not spend eight bucks for a hard copy of the article (it's not the $8 bucks that bothers me but who I would have to send it to)
Even tried to get Aardsma himself to send me the text -- no luck.

I don't think you are missing much.
If Aardsma's only possible alternative is that the flood 'must have occurred more than 10ky ago', it's not a very intellectual accomplishment.

Re: CRSQ article sought
I promise you I couldn't give two craps for his theories.
As often is the case for my requests for literature, I'm only interested in the article to refute claim of what YEC family says is in the article that I believe is not in the article.
The quickest way for me to show that YEC folk lie about what is in an article is to produce the article and show the lies.

The Biblical Chronologist probably contains much of the material from that paper.

Have you tried interlibrary loan for the actual journal? Lots of libraries should have it:
Creation Research Society quarterly. (Journal, magazine, 1900s) [WorldCat.org]

"Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind." — Albert Einstein
I am very astonished that the scientific picture of the real world around me is very deficient. It gives us a lot of factual information, puts all of our experience in a magnificently consistent order, but it is ghastly silent about all and sundry that is really near to our heart, that really matters to us. It cannot tell us a word about red and blue, bitter and sweet, physical pain and physical delight; it knows nothing of beautiful and ugly, good or bad, God and eternity. Science sometimes pretends to answer questions in these domains, but the answers are very often so silly that we are not inclined to take them seriously. — Erwin Schroedinger

Re: CRSQ article sought
My small town library in Georgia only had access to this database and it didn't contain any of the CRS quarterlies:
GALILEO Search
I will next go up the Tennessee direction to a larger library and try your WorldCat suggestion.
Thanks

Yeah...
I suppose that showing more subtle flaw in reasoning wouldn't be as effective.
Carry on.

According to Worldcat, Covenant College should have this journal. You could probably go in yourself and copy the article.
