In the Beginning: Science and Genesis 1-11

1. In the Beginning: Science and Genesis 1-11 “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?“ Psalm 11:3

2. Florida Science StandardsStandard 15: Diversity and Evolution of Living Organisms - Evolution is the fundamental concept underlying all of biology and is supported by multiple forms of scientific evidence.

3. Standard 15: Diversity and Evolution of Living Organisms - Evolution is the fundamental concept underlying all of biology and is supported by multiple forms of scientific evidence. Benchmark 15.1: Explain how evolution is supported by the fossil record…

4. Malcolm Muggeridge in The End of Christendom “I myself am convinced that the theory of evolution, especially to the extent to which it’s been applied, will be one of the great jokes in history books in the future. Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious an hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it has.”

5. It’s Quiz Time!

6. The tallest man alive today is over 8 feet tall. Who was the tallest man in the Bible? • Adam • Noah • King Og • Goliath

7. King Og – Deuteronomy 3:11 His bed was 13.5 feet long by 6 feet wide!

8. Goliath – First Samuel 17:4 He was 9 feet 9 inches tall!

12. Genesis 5 (Summarized): 1. “This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God created man. He made him in the likeness of God. 5. So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died. 8. So all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died. 27. So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty nine years, and he died.”

13. Gen 1:8 (partial): “And God called the expanse heaven.”

14. Genesis 3:22-23: “Then the Lord God said, ‘Behold the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, lest he stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever.’ – therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden…”

16. Genesis 5:1 “This is the book of the generations of Adam.

17. Genesis 6:5 “Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.”

18. Genesis 6:13 “Then God said to Noah, “The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them, and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.”

19. Genesis 2 &4 (partial): “…And Abel was a keeper of flocks, but Cain was a tiller of the ground…And Abel, on his part also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of their fat portions.”

22. Psalm 90:10 “As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, or if due to strength, eighty years…”

23. Genetics: “the branch of biology that deals with the principles and mechanisms of heredity and with the genetic contribution to similarities and differences among related organisms.”

25. Genetic Entropy • The title of Dr. Sanford’s book states that genes tend towards disorder, which is diametrically opposed to what evolution teaches!

26. Genetic Entropy at Work!

27. Genotype Phenotype

28. Natural selection cannot select a “beneficial change” without also selecting the huge number of negative mutations that also exist in the organism. Natural selection has to take the whole phenotype, with all its genetic changes, or nothing at all!

29. Mutations: Mutations occur only once in about every ten million duplications of DNA, and then 99% of the time result in the degradation of the organism.

30. Results So Far:If Evolution Requires Two or More Independent MutationsNOTHING HAPPENS

31. In reality what we see in all organisms is genetic entropy (all things trend towards disorder), not genetic enhancement as Darwinian macroevolution requires.

32. Dr. John Sanford – Genetic Entropy • “We have reviewed compelling evidence that even when ignoring deleterious mutations, mutation/selection cannot create a single gene – not within the human evolutionary timescale.

33. Dr. John Sanford – Genetic Entropy “When deleterious mutations are factored back in, we see that mutation/selection cannot create a single gene – ever. This is overwhelming evidence against the Primary Axiom.”

34. Dr. John Sanford – Genetic Entropy “In my opinion this constitutes what is essentially a formal proof that the Primary Axiom (Neo-Darwinism) is false.”

35. Primary Axiom: • The belief that “man is merely the product of random mutations plus natural selection.”

36. Dr.(x3) Jerry Bergman: He was unable to find a single example in the scientific literature of a mutation which unambiguously created new information.

37. Dr. John Sanford – Genetic Entropy “Genetic damage results in aging, and aging shortens lifespan…Logically we should conclude that if all of this is true, than at some time in the past there must have been a time when there was less genetic damage in the genome, and thus longer lives, and less deleterious effects from inbreeding. Is there any evidence of this?”

38. Biological Decay Curve and the Declining Lifespan of Noah’s Descendants 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 Correlation Coefficient = .90 Confirms Scientifically Genesis Chapter 5! 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 Born centuries after Noah (lived 950 years)

39. Dr. Sanford in Genetic Entropy: “We are forced to conclude that the writer of Genesis either faithfully recorded an exponential decay of human life spans, or the author fabricated the data using sophisticated mathematical modeling.”

40. 1) The long ages set forth in the Bible are confirmed scientifically by genetics. • 2) Genetic entropy falsifies Darwinian evolution.
