Category: EVOLUTION

I. FACT: Fossil Definition.
“A fossil is the remains of a plant or an animal that have been preserved, usually in rock”. “Fossils are formed in several different ways. Some have been petrified – that is, turned to stone. ..Some survive as molds or casts in stone. Some are just prints n stone.” Fossils – Willowisp Press – 1977
II. FACT: What Formed the rock layers?
There are two choices:
A. Evolutionists say the different rock layers each represent a different time span (or geologic age). These rock layers were deposited slowly form erosion and sedimentation over billions of years.
Evolutionists say the bottom layer represents the oldest age of earth’s history. Each additional layer would be younger than the previous layer. The fossils found in each layer are the life forms that existed during that time period.
The name that the evolutionists have given to the arrangement of these rock layers is the Geologic Column.
B. Creationists say the different rock layers are mostly sedimentary layers that were laid down by the great flood that is described in the Bible that took place about 4400 years ago. The different layers were formed as the different types of soil were deposited according to their density.
Creationists say the rock layer that the fossils are found in, in part, represents each life form’s ability to survive during the great flood. (Because of mobility, intelligence, flotation, etc.)
III. FACT: PROBLEMS with the Geologic Column.
There are many anomalies in the proposed Geologic Column, things that should not be found there if it were true. If even one of these things were found, the honest scientist should be willing to admit that they made a mistake. Here are some examples:
A. Reversed ages.
There are old formations resting o top of younger formations. In Glacier National Park there is a hugh block of PRE-CAMBRIAN limestone (over 100 miles long, over 30 miles wide, and 6 ft thick) that is supposed to be 1 billion years old according to evolution. This is sitting on top of a CRETACEOUS shale formation that is supposed to be 100 million years old according to evolution.
B. Missing geologic ages.
In every column there are rock layers missing that are supposed to be there, representing many millions of years.
C. Polystrate fossils.
Example: Trees upright through many rock layers that are supposed to total 100’s of millions of years, with no sign of decay in the trees. Did this tree stand there for 100’s of millions of years while the rock layers were being formed around it, without growing old?
D. Few unconformities in the rock layers.
Most of the rock layers are in straight lines parallel to each other. They would of necessity have to have been laid down at the same time. There also is no sign of erosion between layers.
E. Evidence of humans in supposedly older rock layers.
a. They have found human and dinosaur prints together in the same rock strata (supposedly 65 million years old or so).
b. Fossilized trilobites, 230 million years old (according to evolution) in the fossilized footprints of man.
c. Human artifacts: jewelry, pottery, tools, sandals, etc. in all the rock layers, including those that are supposed to be up to 600 million years old. (But evolution says humans have only been here about two million years).
IV. FACT: Evidence of a World Wide Flood.
A. Few unconformities in the rock layers.
B. The rock layers are mostly water laid sediment.
C. Every mountain range contains marine fossils. The kind that would be found on the bottom of the ocean.
D. Almost all ancient cultures had a flood tradition where the earth was destroyed and one family survived.
E. Vast fossil graveyards all over the world.
F. Mammoths fast-frozen in an upright position, with tropical vegetation undigested in their mouthy and stomach. (A sudden catastrophe caused this, not a gradual Ice Age.)
G. The geological features of the earth can be interpreted as the results of the flood: (Grand Canyon, etc.)
V. What about the age of the rock layers?
“It is obvious that radiometric techniques may not be the absolute dating methods that they are claimed to be. Age estimates on a given geologic stratum by different radiometric methods are often quite different (sometimes by hundreds of millions of years). There is no absolutely reliable long-term radiological ‘clock’. The uncertainties inherent in radiometric dating are disturbing to geologists and evolutionists…”
William D. Stansfield, Ph.D. (animal breeding) (Instructor of Biology, California Polytechnic State University) in The Science of Evolution, Macmillan, New York, 1977, p. 84.
For example: radiometric dating was used on lava rock formed in Hawaii in 1801, (which was less than 200 years ago) and it tested out at 3.5 billion years old. As far as the fossils themselves, fossilization has been observed in less than 100 years.
(Evolutionists use circular reasoning: they date the fossils by the rock layers, then turn around and try to date the rock layers according to the index fossils that are found in them.)
(A good book on this subject is: “Evolution: the Challenge of the Fossil Record”, Dr. Duane T Gish, Ph.D. (Biochemistry, University of California, Berkeley. Master Books.)

THE FROG THAT TURNED INTO A PRINCE:

               

Once upon a time, long ago and far away, a fair maiden kissed a frog, and the frog turned into a prince. We all know that’s a fairy tale don’t we? But, have you heard this one?

                Millions of years ago there was a frog. That frog, when given enough time, turned into a prince all by himself. Even though we know that it’s a fairy tale, they are still treating it as a fact in the science textbooks.

                If a frog turns into a prince rapidly, that’s a fairly tale. But if the frog turns into a prince slowly, that’s science. It still sound like a fairy tale to me.

                Even if the earth were billions of years old (and it’s not), it wouldn’t help. According to the Second Law of thermodynamics:  “Everything tends toward disorder.” Thing don’t get better left on their own, they get worse.

                Just because the majority of scientists still sincerely hold to their beliefs in evolution, doesn’t make it a fact. It was men of science that drained  blood out of George Washington three times trying to cure his illness. He didn’t make it. The medical field thought that was a cure back then. George Washington’s doctors were sincere, they were intelligent, and they were highly trained and motivated, but what they believed was wrong.

                Scientists used to believe that the earth was flat, but that didn’t flatten it out. They  used to believe big objects fell faster than small objects, but they were wrong.    Fossil bones and rock layers  do not talk or have dates stamped on them. Radiometric dating is used to determine their ages. But, lava rock formed in 1801 in Hawaii was determined by radiometric dating to be 3.5 billions years old. Many more such examples could be given to show how unreliable this form of dating method is.

                Scientists who believe in evolution do so by choice, and not because it is supported by the facts. In fact, just the opposite is true. Evolution is a belief system about origins, and is not, and should not be considered science. The evolutionists say, “In the beginning dirt.”  But the Bible says, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”

Should these be of concern for believers? Will we (mankind) destroy the earth? I grew up in an era of being taught that we would blow up the earth with our nuclear bombs. Now the fear being taught is that Global Warming/Climate Change will bring about our destruction. Should we as believers in the death, burial and resurrection of Christ be concerned? As a believer, I also believe that the Bible, the Holy Scripture, is the word of God. So, what does the Word of God have to say about the destruction of the earth and when will it happen?

According to Scripture the Heavens and Earth are to be destroyed and replaced:
Matthew 24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
2 Peter 3:10-13 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
Revelation 20:11 And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
Revelation 21:1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

Should this cause the believer to fear? It is going to happen! But when? And How? The Lord Jesus taught of a period of time (still to come) called the Tribulation (Great). Read Matthew 24. This period of time will last 7 years (see study on Tribulation).
The Scripture teaches of another period of time that follows the Tribulation; the Millilumen (1000 years).
Revelation 20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
Revelation 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Revelation 20:7 And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison,

The Tribulation (7 years), and the Millilumen (1000 years) are events still to come. They cannot start until after the Rapture (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) occurs. And the Rapture hasn’t happened as yet.
Yes, according to Scripture the Heaven and Earth will be destroyed BUT not by the hand of mankind and Global Warming/Climate Change; But by God. And this event WILL NOT happened for at least 1007 years from now.

1 Thessalonians 4:18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Isaiah 65:17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

Two Basic WORLD-views:

What is the Creation/Evolution Debate all About?

Time is Crucial to Evolution. Creationists believe with GOD all things are possible. Evolution is interpreted in light of the Geologic Column.

In the GEOLOGIC COLUMN* each rock layer represents a different geologic age. Everything is interpreted in light of the Geologic Column. It becomes like the Bible to Evolution.

EVOLUTION’S GEOLOGIC COLUMN
Millions of
Years ago Period Life Forms
2 Quaternary Humans
70 Tertiary Mammals
135 Cretaceous Dinosaurs dying out
180 Jurassic 1st mammals and birds
225 Triassic Reptiles – dinosaurs
275 Permian Reptiles plentiful
345 Carboniferous 1st reptiles – amphibians
405 Devonian 1st amphibians – trees
435 Silurian 1st land plants – scorpions
480 Ordovician 1st fish
600 Cambrian Invertebrates
Pre-Cambrian Simple life forms

*Who designed this chart? Who made it official? When did it first come into being?

(1) Adam or Ape?
Was your great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandpa a Tasier monkey?

(2) Mixing Truth with Error.
Example: Evolution & Textbooks – Adolf Hitler said, “If you tell a lie long enough, and often enough, the people will believe it.”
Billions of years ago… (Fact or Faith)?

(3) What is TRUE SCIENCE?
Science must be observed, tested, and reproduced in the laboratory, or else it is not true science. (The Nature of Science – Prentice Hall – 1993)

The basic steps in the scientific method are:

1. Stating or defining the problem.
2. Gathering information on the problem.
3. Forming a hypothesis (or trial answer).
4. Performing experiments to test the hypothesis.
5. Recording and analyzing data.
6. Stating a conclusion.
7. Repeating the work.

(4) Define the problem.
How old is earth?

(5) Gather the information.
Data: Maximum Age

1. Planets cooling Should be cold
2. Moon leaving 30 million years (?)
3. Stalactite formations 1 inch per year
4. Salt in Ocean 62 million years
5. Ocean sediments 14 million years
6. Sun shrinking 7 million years
7. Helium in atmosphere 2 million years
8. Mississippi river deposits 30,000 years
9. Earth slowing (under) 30,000 years
10. Magnetic field (under) 10,000 years
11. Oil pressure (under) 10,000 years
12. Saturn’s rings (under) 10,000 years
13. Short-period comets (under) 10,000 years
14. Niagara Falls eroding 9,900 years
15. Longevity chart 6,000 years
16. Moon Dust 6,000 years
17. Oldest tree 4,300 years
18. Coral reef 4,200 years
19. Population chart 4,000 years

(6) Forming A Hypothesis.
What kind of hypothesis would one form from the information? Here’s where the problem is, Evolution is not formed on the information. All the data is interpreted in the light of the assumption that the geologic column is true.

(7) Testing the Hypothesis
“It started with a BIG BANG!”

1. The First Law of Thermodynamics: Matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed. None taking place anywhere in the universe today. Where did it come from?
Evolution says: “MAYBE it created itself.” Then at some point in time you have to start with nothing. Can nothing create something?
Hebrews 4:3 – God’s works were finished on day six.

2. The Second Law of Thermodynamics: Everything tends toward disorder. Evolution proposes upward trend. Basic trend in nature is downward. Psalms 102:25-27 Sign of the curse

3. Problems with the “Big Bang”:
a. Where did all the matter and energy come from?
b. Explosions cause chaos, not order.
c. The galaxies are not arranged haphazardly.
d. The stars and planets would keep going, not stop and start orbiting a fixed point.
e. Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum. Anything that flies off from something spinning fast, will be spinning in the same direction as the original object. Example: kids on a merry-go-round.

(8) Don’t All Scientists Believe in Evolution?
NO! 10,000 professional scientists in the USA believe in Biblical Creation. In a 1993 Gallup poll, only 11% of the United States population believed in atheistic evolution. Why do they control what goes into the textbooks?
“No matter how reasonable the hypothesis seems, it cannot be accepted until supported by a large number of testing. The research worker must be open-minded enough to change or drop a hypothesis if the evidence does not support it.” (Modern Biology – Otto, Towle, and Bradley – 1981)
Why is the idea of an old earth so intensely protected by the evolutionists?

(9) There Are Only Two Options:
1 – Somebody made the world, or
2 – The world made itself
If there wasn’t enough time for the world to make itself, then that only leaves one option, somebody made it. The Bible says that somebody is the Lord Jesus Christ.

(10) Have We Been Brainwashed?
If we see something mixed in with something else long enough, after awhile we begin to think it belongs there.

Isn’t Creation just a religious belief?

I. What is Evolution?
A gradual emergence of present life kinds over aeons of time, with emergence of complex and diversified kinds of life from simpler kinds and ultimately from nonliving matter, all through natural processes.

II. What is Creationism?
Creationism says that all basic animal and plant types (the created kinds) were brought into existence by acts of a supernatural Creator using special processes which are not in operation today.

III. What is Science?
Science comes form the Latin word scire meaning to know. Science has to do with investigation and substantiation.

The basic steps in the scientific method are:

1. Stating or defining the problem.
2. Gathering information on the problem.
3. Forming a hypothesis (or trial answer).
4. Performing experiments to test the hypothesis.
5. Recording and analyzing data.
6. Stating a conclusion.
7. Repeating the work.
   (The Nature of Science – Prentice Hall – 1993)

SCIENCE must be observed, tested, and reproduced in the laboratory, or else it is not true science.

IV. Science has to do with the present.
We can only observe what exists right now. No living scientist was alive to see evolution taking place in the past, no have they observed it taking place today. They can BELIEVE that it did, but they cannot prove it. It takes an act of faith.

We cannot prove that divine Creation took place. We weren’t there. There was someone else there however, and He gave us a written record of how it happened. But we cannot prove it. It takes an act of faith.

V. Is evolution science?
Can evolution be observed? “Evolution, at least in the sense that Darwin speaks of it, cannot be detected within the life time of a single observer.” (nor in the life time of many observers).
… David B. Kitts, Ph.D., University of Oklahoma “Paleontology and evolutionary theory”. Evolution, vol. 28, Sep 1994, p. 466

Can evolution be tested in the laboratory?
“It is easy enough to make up stories of how one gave rise to another, and to find reasons why the stages should be favored by natural selection. But such stories are not part of science, for there is no way of putting them to the test.”
… Personal letter (written 4-10-79) from Dr. Colin Patterson, British Museum of Natural History, to Luther D. Sunderland

Does evidence support Evolution?
a. “I know that, at least in paleoanthropology, data are still so sparse that theory heavily influences interpretations. Theories have, in the past, clearly reflected out current ideologies instead of the actual data.”
… Dr. David Pilbeam (Anthropologist, Yale), “Rearranging our family tree”. Human Nature, June 1978, p.45
b. “Facts do not speak for themselves”; they are read in the light of theory. Creative thought, in science as much as in the arts, is the motor of changing opinion. Science is a quintessentially human activity, not a mechanized, robot-like accumulation of objective information, leading by laws of logic to inescapable interpretation.”
… Stephen J Gould (Professor of Geology and Paleontology, Harvard University), ‘The validation of continental drift’ in his book “EVER SINCE DARWIN” Burnett Books, 1978 pp.161-162

VI. Is Evolution Religious?

“In fact, evolution became in a sense a scientific religion; almost all scientists have accepted it and many are prepared to bend their observation to fit in with it.”
… H.S. Lipson, FRS (Professor of Physics, University of Manchester, UK), ‘A physicist looks at evolution’. Physics Bulletin, vol. 31, 1980, p. 136

“The fact of evolution is the backbone of biology, and biology is thus in the peculiar position of being a science founded on an unproved theory – is it then a science or a faith? Belief in the theory of evolution is thus exactly parallel to belief in special creation – both are concepts which believers know to be true but neither, up the present, has been capable of proof.”
… L. Harrison Matthews, FRS, Introduction to Darwin’s The Origin of Species, J.M.Dent & Sons Ltd, London, 1971, p.xi

“One must conclude that, contrary to the established and current wisdom a scenario describing the genesis of life on earth by chance and natural causes which can be accepted on the basis of fact and not faith has not yet been written.”
… Hubert P. Yockey (Army Pulse Radiation Facility, Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, USA), ‘A calculation of the probability of spontaneous biogenesis by information theory’. Journal of Theoretical Biology, vol. 67, 1977, p. 396

Fossils exist in the present. However, they do not come with dates stamped on them to tell us how old they are. Evolution is a belief system about the past based on the words of men who were not there, but are trying to explain the existence of the world we live in, without the existence of God or any divine acts of His part.

VII. But is Special Creation Scientific?
Creation is, of course, unproven and unprovable by scientific method. Creation therefore, as evolution, can only serve as a hypothesis, or, trial answer as to how and why life came into existence. Creation, therefore, would be no more religious and less scientific than evolution. However, to many well informed scientists, the creation model seems to be far superior to the evolution model as an explanation for origins.
