  1. Evolutionary Thinking

  2. 1 CORINTHIANS 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. COLOSSIANS 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. ROMANS 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

  3. EVIDENCE AGAINST EVOLUTION IS THERE REALLY ANY ACTUAL PROOF FOR EVOLUTION?

  4. CODED LANGUAGE A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z A collection of precise characters that when arranged in specific orders communicate contextual information and meaning. 4 characters 20 amino acids 64 sequences Over 9 million species AN ARRANGEMENT OF CHARACTERS CAN ONLY BE CONSIDERED A LNAGUAGE IF THERE IS A MEANS WITH WHICH TO TRANSLATE OR DECODE THE MEANING HIDDEN WITHIN THE SEQUENCE OF CHARACTERS. EX: RNA 26 characters Over 250,000 words

  5. Each rung of the DNA “ladder” is a base • Our entire DNA sequence is a genome • There are 3 billion bases in a genome • This is equivalent to 3 Gigs Storage • Single strand of DNA: 6 FEET! DNA 98% Genetic Similarity Single base 15 million differences in the genome between Humans and Apes It’s been estimated that all the genetic info from every creature that has ever lived could fit into a single spoon… …and you’d still have room for every book ever written!

  6. WHERE DID ALL THIS INFORMATION COME FROM? In fact, we NEVER have found a set of information where intelligence was not the source! Whenever information is present, the most rational inference is that intelligence was the source. “But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.” - 1 CORINTHIANS 8:6

  7. FIBONACCI SEQUENCE THE GOLDEN RATIO 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55… “DIVINE PROPORTION” If you divide a line into two parts so that: The longer part divided by the smaller part is also equal to The whole length divided by the longer part then you will have the golden ratio. A curious feature of mathematics which provides a framework for so many structures in biology, chemistry, and the arts.

  8. DIVINE PROPORTION = 1.618

  19. THE “SIGNATURE” OF GOD? Researchers spotted the symmetry, termed E8, in the patterns formed by the magnetic spins in crystals of the material cobalt niobate, cooled to near absolute zero and subject to a powerful applied magnetic field. The material contains cobalt atoms arranged in long chains and each atom acts like a tiny bar magnet that can point either ‘up’ or ‘down’.  A visual representation of E8 symmetry For more info, click to read:“Exotic Symmetry Seen in Ultracold Electrons” by Pete Wilton

  20. THE “SIGNATURE” OF GOD? Researchers observed that the spinning chain of atoms act like a nanoscale guitar string. Applying the magnetic field caused the atoms to spin and magnetically resonate. “You might expect to see random fluctuations of the spins…but what we uncovered was a remarkable structure in the resonances of the magnetic spins indicating a perfectly harmonious state,”saidRaduColdea from Oxford University’s Department of Physics who led the team.

  21. THE “SIGNATURE” OF GOD? "For these interactions we found a series (scale) of resonant notes: The first two notes show a perfect relationship with each other. Their frequencies (pitch) are in the ratio of 1.618…” SO FROM THE SPINNING OF ENTIRE GALAXIES ,TO THE SPINNING OF INDIVIDUAL ELECTRONS IN AN ATOM, WE SEE THIS “DIVINE RATIO” EXACLTY HOW SMALL IS AN ATOM? CLICK HERE TO GET A BETTER IDEA! He is convinced that this is no coincidence and it reflects a subtle form of order present in the quantum system.

  22. God designed all living things with the genetic ability to adapt to a changing environment EVOLUTION VS. ADAPTATION AN IMPORTANT DISCTINCTION FEW PEOPLE REALIZE DARWIN’S FAMOUS FINCHES REVERTED TO THEIR ORIGNAL BEAK SHAPE AND SIZE WHEN WEATHER CONDITIONS CHANGED AGAIN. “…according to its kind” - Genesis 1:21-25

  23. Where are the Transitional Forms? Darwin’s Hypothetical Tree of Life What we find instead is the sudden appearance of countless forms of life, many of which still exist today in the same form. Darwin proposed that all creatures share a single common ancestor and that in future generations the fossil record would validate this idea with innumerable “transitional forms” “…according to its kind” - Genesis 1:21-25

  24. EVIDENCE FROM THE FOSSIL RECORD? FOSSILS DON’T TELL US MUCH, EXCEPT THAT SOMETHING DIED. PURELY SPECULATION FOSSILS ARE PRIMARILY ARRANGED IN EVOLUTIONARY “ORDER” BASED ON THEIR APPEARANCE AND THE ROCK LAYERS IN WHICH THEY WERE FOUND SPECULATION IS A POLITE WAY OF SAYING THE SCIENTISTS ARE SIMPLY MAKING GUESSES BASED ON THEIR PRECONCEIVED BELIEFS. (THAT’S NOT VERY SCIENTIFIC!) REMEMBER THIS IS CIRCULAR REASONING TO DATE FOSSILS BY ROCK LAYERS, BECAUSE THE ROCK LAYERS ARE DATED BY THE FOSSILS FOUND WITHIN THEM.

  25. That would be like trying to sequentially arrange all of the “Magic Tree House” books using only the information found in the cover artwork of each book and the library in which they are cataloged. DOES THIS MAKE ANY LOGICAL SENSE? TO GET THE TRUE ORDER OF THE BOOKS WE’D NEED TO REFER TO THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE AUTHOR! THE SAME IS TRUE FOR LIFE!! (SEE HEBREWS 12:2) WRMS Library Topeka Public Library Wanamaker Elementary Library Farley Elementary Library

  26. In 2005 paleontologist Mary Schweitzer and her team found intact blood vessels and red blood cells in a fossilized femur bone of a… In 2009 the same team found a host of soft-tissue structures (collagen, elastin, and hemoglobin) in a duck billed dinosaur bone thought to be TYRANNOSAURUS REX! 80 MILLION YEARS OLD! THE BIG ISSUE? Evolutionists believe the fossilized bone is 68 million years old, however, proteins such as these can survive for only a few thousand years at best. Could this mean Humans & Dinosaurs were alive at the same time? Read “Those Not-So-Dry Bones” by Marcus Ross at AnswersInGenesis.com

  27. PERFECTLY BALANCED PHYSICS By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. - Hebrews 11:3 LAWS OF PHYSICS ARE ASTOUNDINGLY “FINE TUNED” GRAVITY • Ruler length ofuniverse (14 billion light years) • Each inch represents possible setting for gravity NO LIFE! m1 x m2 d2 F=G GRAVITY IS JUST ONE OF 20 OTHER PHYSICAL LAWS NECESSARY IN ORDER TO SUPPORT LIFE. ALL THE OTHERS ARE JUST AS FINE TUNED. CLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE! • One inch change would be catastrophic to life on earth

  28. PERFECTLY PLANNED PLANET 20 NECESSARY FACTORS FOR LIFE: • Position in the narrow galactic inhabitable zone of a spiral galaxy • Oxygen rich atmosphere • Liquid water and large continental land masses • Home star with right temperature and mass • Orbital path not too far or close • Moon large enough to stabilize planetary tilt and regulate tides • Magnetic field strong enough to reflect radiation The probability of even ONE inhabitable world is highly unlikely .000000000000001% (one one-thousandth of one one-trillionth)

  29. IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY A THEORY BY MICHAEL BEHE A single system made up of several interacting parts that help it function. The removal of any one of the parts causes the system to stop working. Hold Down Bar Spring Hammer Catch Platform

  30. BACTERIAL FLAGELLUM An unimaginably tiny outboard motor Made from 40 different protein based parts Eliminate any of these parts and this biological machine would loose all function completely. This system is Irreducibly Complex

  31. Statically speaking, that’s like putting all the parts of a watch in a shoe box and expecting it to assemble randomly while shaking the box. How much time would you need for that to occur? NOTE: TO MAKE THIS ILLUSTRATION EVEN MORE APPROPRIATE, YOU WOULD NEED TO ACCOUNT FOR WHERE AND HOW ALL OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTS WERE FIRST MADE!

  32. What would Darwin say about all of this? Doh! "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.“ --Charles Darwin Origin of Species

  33. EVOLUTION IS NOT SCIENTIFIC FACT IT IS SCIENCE FICTION THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN THINKING ABOUT EVOLUTION • There is absolutely no TANGIBLE proof to support the hypothesis of evolution • All “evidence” presented by evolutionists is based entirely on assumption, speculation, and continued reinvention • There is a complete resistance on the part of evolutionary scientists to allow the evidence to direct the path of discovery. Instead the evidence must conform to their unyielding belief in evolution and thus the hypothetical processes of evolution must continually be revised. • We see no evidence, either in the fossil record or current times, of species becoming new and different species. We see countless examples, however, of adaptation. • Often times, especially when in debate, evolutionists will resort to insults and other disparaging remarks against creationists rather than provide counter arguments with any substance or content • Evolutionists have no real explanation HOW their idea of evolution works. The word evolution is, in itself, used as a description of the process.

  34. EVOLUTION IS NOT SCIENTIFIC FACT IT IS SCIENCE FICTION CHARLES DARWIN “Often a cold shudder has run through me, and I have asked myself whether I may have not devoted myself to a fantasy.”  ROMANS 1:18-20 21Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
