  5. Creation Evolution Purpose

  6. Why Genesis is Important There are those that are ignorant There are those that are false teachers Ignorant people can be saved But it is detrimental to walking with God The Bible’s authority may be ignored Rejection may mean a false Jesus – and no salvation

  7. Why Genesis is Important It was believed by Jesus, prophets & apostles A Christian is a disciple / follower of Jesus Christ – Luke 6:40; Rom. 8:29 The Old Testament Prophets affirmed it – Moses, Isaiah; Jeremiah; Nehemiah, . Psalms

  8. Why Genesis is Important The Apostles quote it – John, Paul, Hebrews; Peter Jesus quoted Genesis 1:27; 2:24; 5:2 and referred the people in it & its stories as real including Noah & the ark Christians are to believe what Jesus believed

  9. If You Reject Genesis You favor the thoughts of those who fit Romans 1:18-23 You accept the mocking of the ungodly – 2 Peter 3:3-7 Your god is small, impotent & unable to communicate clearly

  10. If you profess to believe the God of the Bible, then why limit His ability to do what He says and clearly communicate it?

  11. Evolution Is Not ScienceScience Defined Science is: “knowledge acquired by careful observation, by deduction of the laws which govern changes and conditions, and by testing these deductions by experiment || a branch of study, esp. one concerned with facts, principles and methods” (Websters, 1989).

  12. Evolution Is Not ScienceScience Defined A Scientific theory must be observable, testable & repeatable Evolution was “unique, unrepeatable and irreversible” – it does not fit the definition of science or of being a scientific theory

  13. Evolution Is Not Science Neither Evolution or Creation are science or scientific theories. Both are philosophical beliefs Creation & Evolution are the basis for scientific models Which model best explains what is actually observed? Which model best adapts to what is actually observed?

  14. Evolution Is Not Science “The success of Darwinism was accompanied by a decline in scientific integrity. . .” - Dr. W. R. Thompson “What the record shows is nearly a century of fudging and finagling by scientists attempting to force various fossil morsels and fragments to conform with Darwin’s notions, all to no avail – Jeremy Rifkin

  15. Evolution Is Not Science “Evolutionism is a fairy tale for grown-ups. This theory has helped nothing in the progress of science. It is useless.” - Bounoure (National Center of Scientific Research, France)

  16. Frog + Kiss = Prince  Fairy Tale Frog + Time = Prince  Evolution

  17. Creation Model Evolution Model

  18. Creation Model Evolution Model

  19. Evolution Contradicts ScienceOrigin of Universe & Solar System “It should be emphasized that all discussions of the development of the cosmos are rather hypothetical . . . - Victory F. Weisskopf “Nobody really understands how star formation proceeds; it’s really remarkable.” – Roger A Windhorst

  20. Evolution Contradicts ScienceThe Origin of Life “The ‘warm little pond’ scenario was invented ad hoc to serve as a materialistic reductionist explanation of the origin of life. It is unsupported by any other evidence . . . -Hubert Yockey “There was no primeval soup, neither on this planet nor on any other” - Sir Fred Hoyle

  21. Evolution Contradicts ScienceThe Origin of Life Forms No micro-evolution – flies are still flies All life has irreducible complexity The Fossils Still Say No! – Duane Gish “The known fossil record fails to document a single example of phyletic evolution accomplishing a major morphologic transition – Steven Stanley

  22. Evolution Contradicts ScienceGeologic Features The Geologic Column is only found in text books – not nature It is based on circular reasoning – The rocks date the fossils & the fossils date the rocks

  23. Assume Evolution   Assume simple to complex gradation in any fossils Proclaim Evolution to be true   Use this as evidence Geologic Column & time table Arrange rock strata on chart to match assumptions   Accept dating data that agree with assumptions, reject contradictions Explain away contradictions to assumed order 

  24. Evolution Contradicts ScienceGeologic Features A circular argument arises: interpret the fossil record in terms of a particular theory of evolution, inspect the interpretation, and note that it confirms the theory- Tom Kemp “Does our time-scale then partake of natural law? No . . .– E.M. Spieker

  25. Evolution Contradicts ScienceThe Second Law of Thermodynamics (Entropy) “the entropy of the universe never decreases; during any process, the entropy either remains constant or else increases.” “No matter how carefully we examine the energetics of living systems we find no evidence of defeat of thermodynamic principles – Harold Blum ‘Has the second law of thermodynamics been circumvented?’ Not yet”- Frank Greco

  26. Evolution Contradicts ScienceLack of Time for an Old Earth Measure rate of combustion Determine composition (mother elements) Determine by-products (daughter elements) Measure daughter elements in the room Calculate time to generate

  27. Assumptions Constant rate Uniform composition A Closed system Original mother / daughter ratio known

  28. Some Time Limiting Geo-Chronometers Rotation of Spiral galaxies < 2 million years Decay of long-period comets < 1 million years Decay of short-period comets < 10,000 years Influx of materials into the Sun <83,000 years Accumulation of dust on the moon <200,000 years Decay of Earth’s rotational speed <500,000 years Efflux of Helium into the atmosphere <175,000 years Decay of Earth’s Magnetic field <10,000 years Oil gushers <11,000 years

  29. Evolution Contradicts ScienceLack of Time for an Old Earth Frederic B. Jueneman - “. . . And this could mean that the atomic clocks are reset during some global disaster, and events which brought the Mesozoic to a close may not be 65 million years ago but, rather, within the age and memory of man”. . .

  30. What is the nature of your God? Is he a small god bound by the ideas of man? Or is He the sovereign Creator who does as He says?
