GOD'S GRAND DESIGN As the archeologist proceeds with his "dig," he will readily identify pieces of pottery, tools, etc., as "man made." He will easily see in these things the evidence of design and distinguish them from natural materials. Likewise, many features of our universe will convince the unprejudiced mind of their inherent design. Consider the dance of honeybees directing others to new nectar sources. Think of the gorgeous rings of Saturn---billions of bits of matter orbiting in such tidy formation. What about spiral galaxies and binary stars? Don't these compel the open-minded person to admit God created? Microscopic bacteria have an actual "rotary motor" that rotates their flagellum and propels them through liquid. The genetic coding material, or DNA, of all living cells, though microscopic, packs more information than five sets of encyclopedias. The thymus gland in our immune system must produce a squad of "killer cells." Each and every squad is specifically targeted against just one kind of the hundreds of millions of things that invade our bodies. Perhaps the most persuasive evolutionist argument has been that of homology. Similar structures, such as the arms of apes and man, are said to be homologous and to demand a common ancestor. Now, molecular biologists know these structures are specified by different genes in different creatures. Thus the implication is actually for a common designer, not a common ancestor. The same is true in embryology. High-tech photography inside the womb shows that development of the embryo is unique in each species. It does not recapitulate (retrace) alleged evolutionary steps as has long been claimed by evolutionists. What a miracle the growing process. All our parts grow together in such perfect harmony!

ENERGY AND THE LAW OF ENTROPY The laws of thermodynamics truly demand special creation. These two, thoroughly proven laws of science are among the most fundamental physical laws of the entire universe. In fact they are often simply called the First and Second Laws. The First Law says energy cannot be created nor destroyed. The Second Law says whenever energy changes forms, though no energy is lost, it becomes more random and less useful. Or put another way, any physical system left to itself tends to move spontaneously toward disorganization. That is, entropy increases. But, evolution requires the opposite of this, a spontaneous decrease in randomness and an escalating complexity of life.

NO REAL FOSSIL EVIDENCE FOR EVOLUTION The fossil evidence confirms creation. In 1859 when Darwin published his Origin of Species, there had not been enough fossils discovered to decide the issue. Today, the evidence is in, and it shows life burst forth suddenly in completed forms. The so-called oldest sedimentary rocks, called Precambrian, while containing single cell microbial forms and micro-fossils, show no actual trace of evolutionary ancestors to the complex multicellular invertebrates that explode onto the scene to mark the "Cambrian" boundary. Archaeopteryx, the alleged reptile-bird transition is the most popular "transitional form" found in evolutionist-oriented textbooks. But, Sir Fred Hoyle, the prominent British scientist, in his book Archaeopteryx the Primordial Bird, "a case of fossil forgery," says that someone took a small fossil, put cement on it, and pressed a modern feather into the cement to create a forgery. The person then sold it to the British Museum for 36,000 gold marks, a hefty sum in 1861. The missing links are simply, missing!

ELUSIVE MUTATION MECHANISM Evolution is a theory entirely lacking of a credible mechanism. Natural selection cannot produce NEW genes; it can only select from among preexisting genetic material. God, and blind chance, are the only two conceivable sources for genetic information. Mutations are the only proposed mechanism whereby new genetic material becomes available for evolution. The catch is, that rarely, if ever, is a mutation beneficial to an organism in its natural environment. Almost all observable mutations are harmful; many are lethal. Through eighty years of radiation bombardment experiments with fruit flies, involving 3000 consecutive generations, no clear genetic improvement has ever been observed despite the many unnatural efforts to increase mutation rates. Variations within the gene pool of a particular kind of animal, yes, evolution of new kinds of animals, NO! Evolution is a theory entirely without a believable mechanism. Many animal kinds have become extinct as shown by the fossil record. NO animal has EVER been OBSERVED to evolve! Ever! So, mutations indicate genetic information was just, plain, created by God.

STATISTICAL SIMULATIONS OF EVOLUTION The force of statistical probability mandates creation. Evolution totally fails under statistical "modeling." It turns out there are just not enough possible interactions between particles in the history of the whole known universe to satisfy the infinitesimally remote odds. The odds of evolving one living cell by chance are 1 in 10 to the 2000th power, but the whole known universe only contains 10 to the 80th power of atoms. So evolution is the longest "long shot" one could possibly bet on. The impossibly remote statistical odds are often obscured by the introduction of a bogus time frame---billions of years. But, most dating methods show the Earth to be less than 10,000 years old. The mind-boggling impact of such immense and phony time periods tends to obscure the insurmountable character of the odds that do exist regardless of the time span. Sir Fred Hoyle, a prominent British scientist said, "Imagine a tornado sweeping through a junk yard, and as it passes on its way, there in its wake is a brand new Boeing 747 jumbo jet, which of course, has been fashioned and assembled by random chance out of the junk in the yard." So, there is really no statistical chance at all that life evolved!

I am God and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying , My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure; Book of Isaiah, chapter 46.

 

IN LESS THAN 10,000 YEARS Almost all dating methods favor a young Earth. Evolution requires billions of years to achieve even a ghost of a chance. And it is only that, a ghost.

Primordial Polonium Radio Haloes: Tiny specks of Polonium 218, a radioactive material encased in granite bedrock, have produced small spherical discolorations. Polonium 218 has a very short "half-life" of only 3 minutes and becomes extinct in a few hours. BUT, bedrock must be solid for polonium to make these tiny haloes. Thus, trillions of tiny polonium radio haloes show that earth's bedrocks were miraculously created, probably instantly, or supernaturally cooled so quickly, these polonium radio haloes formed in the solid rock before these radioactive elements could become extinct.

Cooling Time of the Earth: A prominent geophysicist and his graduate students have computed the earth's cooling time, from a molten state, at a maximum of 44 million years. This takes into account radioactivity. Evolutionists claim, however, that dinosaurs lived 70 million years ago. But, with Earth's bed rocks SOLID to begin with, as the polonium haloes indicate, the earth's cooling time would be just thousands of years. This approximates and is consistent with the 6000-year chronology of the Bible.

Carbon-14 dating: The production rate of C-14 in the atmosphere exceeds the decay rate by about 30% When this non equilibrium data is used instead of the unwarranted evolutionary assumption of equilibrium, computed dates of all the organic materials fall within 10,000 years. If the atmosphere really were old, by now, these two rates would be in equilibrium. Thus, the disparity in the two rates confirms a young atmosphere. Oil, coal, natural gas, and other items evolutionists suppose are very old have been dated by C-14. But, this should not be possible because this dating method is no good past about 50,000 years. So, the ability to date coal, oil, etc., shows these materials are recent.

Magnetic field: Direct measurements of the earth's magnetic field over the past 140 years show a steady and rapid decline in its strength. The half-life of the Earth's magnetic field is about 1400 years. This decay pattern is consistent with the theoretical view that there is an electrical current inside the earth, which produces the magnetic field. If this view were correct, then 25,000 years ago the electrical current would have been so large that the earth's structure could not have survived the heat produced. By the way, the sheer existence of the earth's magnetic field is a miracle of creation. The surprisingly rapid decline in the earth's magnetic field, when compared to the maximum possible, original, field strength, argues very strongly for a young earth. We assume, of course, that the magnetic field was created at the same time as the earth itself.

Atmospheric gases: Out atmosphere has less than 40,000 years worth of helium, based on just the production of helium from the decay of uranium and thorium. (The decay of radioactive materials is the only natural source of Helium). There is no known way for large amounts of helium to escape our atmosphere. Our atmosphere must be young.

Moon dust: If the moon were billions of years old, it should have accumulated extensive layers of space dust, possibly a mile in thickness. Before instruments were placed on the moon, NASA scientists were very concerned our astronauts would sink into a sea of dust. This did not happen; there is very little space dust on the moon. Conclusion: the moon must be young.

Decay of the Speed of Light: Two Australian scientists have collected, from scientific articles, data indicating the speed of light has not been constant as most of us were taught, but has really been decreasing. This seems to be confirmed by the words of earlier scientist. The speed of light may have been ten million times faster at one time. Thus, the light from the most distant star may have arrived within seconds of when God made the star. The two men think the permeability of free space is changing and with it the speed of light. Since light is an atomic process, atomic run-rates would change and this means radiometric dates must be recalculated. A rock said to be 4 billion years old, would really be just 6-7000 years old. Also, a National Bureau of Standards' scientist has shown that atomic clocks are slowing down compared to the periods of orbiting celestial bodies.

Oil gushers: Abnormally high gas and oil well pressures within relatively permeable rock imply these fluids were formed or encased less than 10,000 years ago. Otherwise, natural leakage would have reduced their pressure to a level far below what it is today.

A great flood best explains geology: If sedimentary rock layers formed over long ages, we should find tree roots and meteorites imbedded in the layers. We don't find any! In some places many layers are bent smoothly without any cracks. This confirms that these layers were still soft when bent. Dead bodies need rapid burial to form fossils; otherwise they rot or get eaten. Furthermore, sedimentary rocks are cemented together by some cementing agent. Calcium carbonate is a common agent, the same one used in commercial cement. We all know concrete "sets up" rapidly. Thus, fossil bearing rock formations must have been formed quite rapidly. Many layers extend thousands of miles, some even covering most of North America. The great Biblical, Genesis Flood, of Noah and the Ark, best explains these features.

SCRIPTURE SPECIFIES SPECIAL CREATION The Bible consistently states that GOD CREATED. This plain language leaves NO possibility God sat by while the world evolved. The fulfillment of Bible prophesies in their appointed times proves that the text in which they are imbedded IS the true Word of God. The Almighty Creator commands those legions of atoms to show up in the right place at the right time turning Bible prophesies into history.

A fairy tale for grownups Dr. Louis Bounoure, a prominent Swiss scientist of the past, said,

"Evolution is a fairy tale - for grownups! The theory has helped nothing in the progress of science. It is useless."

 

God's glory and greatness shine brightly in all He has made. We give thanks for good things He has given. The reason and need for redemption is the FALL of a perfect creation. I CAN confirm Special Creation and the Genesis Flood by evidence, SO I CAN trust the parts of Scripture I CANNOT directly verify. GOD made every particle of our being. His rule IS JUST.

 

We must accept His offer of redemption and salvation in Jesus Christ while time remains.

 

For God so Loved the World, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16.

 

For he made HIM to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God IN HIM. Second Corinthians 5:21.

 

Jesus said, "Verily, Verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God....I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 3:3, 14:6.

 

Additional Thoughts

Historically, it has been the Western, Christian world that has given rise to the greatest scientific achievements. Why?.... God commanded Adam to "subdue" and "have dominion over" the creation. It has been this creationist mindset, which has proven to be the scientifically fertile one. But, evolutionists claim creationism is just religion. But, this makes even less sense when one considers that most of our branches of science were founded by creationists. Many of the worlds most outstanding and productive scientists have been creationists Biblically and scientifically. Examples: Isaac Newton, Johann Kepler, Blaise Pascal, Galileo, Michael Faraday Samuel Morse, George Washington Carver, Gregor Mendel, and Louis Pasteur.

The US Declaration of Independence

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are CREATED equal, that they are endowed by their CREATOR with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. Rights are unalienable, only, because they are endowed by the Creator. Creation is the basis of the USA!

Can we really get TRUTH from Science?

Science is based on observation and experimentation. But, scientists are always discovering something new they didn't know before, which forces them to overhaul their theories. Scientists never know how much they don't know. They never have all the facts. You can only get the truth if you possess all the facts.

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for thou hast created all things. Book of Revelation.
