HOW THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION IS DISPROVED BY SCIENCE AND LOGIC.
In this section, you are going to see how blatantly the Theory of Evolution conflicts with both science and logic. In regard to the way in which this information is being presented, you will see that much of it is in debate form; these could be the arguments used in favor of Creation during a Creation vs. Evolution debate. In reality, this was not easy. It is very difficult at times to address fantasy — logically. (My thanks to the many Creation Scientists who have produced this information.)
If everyone would be intellectually honest, the only question we would have to ask is this: Could what is happening right now, be happening right now, without original intent, design, or orchestration? In other words: Could you (a marvelous living, functioning, and thinking human being) be sitting here on this planet (which supplies all the necessities of life–food, water, oxygen, light, humidity, gravity, heat, atmospheric pressure, etc.) engaged in the incredible act of reading a book (using eyes to see, a brain to think, and fingers to turn the pages) all as a result of happenstance? Could a series of unintentional, unguided, and uncoordinated explosions, followed by the simple heating of the sun really have resulted in all this? As for me, even if I didn’t know the Creator personally, I would have to believe that He exists.
A. LOGICAL QUESTIONS THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION
CAN’T ANSWER
Remember …
The Theory of (Organic) Evolution claims that the sun’s energy is responsible for the beginning of life on earth. It claims that the electromagnetic radiation coming in from the sun caused the first living organism to form and come to life. This original life form is then said to have begun reproducing, thereby creating other living organisms like itself. Then as a result of a countless number of accidental changes (mutations) which theoretically occurred in subsequent reproductions (in subsequent generations), this original species is claimed to have ultimately evolved into all the diverse and complex forms of life which we find on earth today. This supposedly occurred over a period of billions of years.
QUESTION # 1 – THE FIRST LIFE FORM
How did sunlight create the first living cell? How did a simple influx of energy bring all of the right components together and arrange them in the very precise order which is required for life? How did it cause them to function together as a unit? How did it create the cell membrane and envelop them inside? How “by sheer chance” did this cell membrane function perfectly, allowing all the necessities of life to pass through, while keeping all substances which could kill the cell out–even allowing waste products to pass out of the cell, but not back in? How did this life form “accidentally” begin performing all of the required processes of life–generating energy, “breathing,” taking in food, getting rid of waste–all of which are dependent upon each other? (A cell must be “breathing” and processing food in order to generate energy, and it must be generating energy in order to “breathe” and process food.)
QUESTION # 2 – CELL REPRODUCTION
How did a simple influx of energy create a life form with the incredible ability to reproduce? How “by pure chance” was the very first (or any) living cell able to coalesce, grasp, read, then duplicate its own genetic “blueprint,” which showed every aspect of how it was made and how it functioned–both internally and in relationship to its environment? How “by pure chance” was it then able to divide this information and, with the precisely required matter, separate into two separate living organisms–each with the incredible ability to grow back into a duplicate of the original? How “by pure chance” were these two new organisms then able to precisely remanufacture all the matter which had been lost (to each other) through the division? How “by pure chance” did this entire process occur in the correct sequence, and how did it get recorded in the original “blueprint”–so that the second generation could also reproduce–before it had even occurred the first time?
QUESTION # 3 – MULTI-CELLULAR ORGANISMS
How did a single-cell organism (the original kind of life form, according to Evolution) evolve into all the various types of multi-cellular organisms? How could an organism which was complete in and of itself–as a single-cell–“accidentally” evolve into all of these much larger and far more complex systems–in which a single cell is simply a part of a part of the whole? For instance, a single cell is a tiny part of a hair, which is a tiny part of a horse. (This is analogous to suggesting that an original kind of bolt accidentally evolved into all the different kinds of machines around the world–pulleys, meat grinders, hay balers, sewing machines, elevators, automobiles, airplanes, boats, etc.)
For example, how did “a random series of accidents” result in all the unique and integral parts of a tree–trunk and branches (consisting of four different types of tissue), roots, sap, leaves, seeds, etc.– and how is it that they are all in the right place, at the right time, in the right dimensions, and they all function together perfectly as a unit? How did “chance” create the roots, which secure it to the ground and take in half of the requirements for food–water and inorganic matter? How did “chance” create the leaves, which always face the sun and take in the other half of the requirements for food–carbon dioxide and sunlight? How did “chance” give the tree the ability to produce food from these raw materials–the process of photosynthesis–and how did “chance” cause all of these parts to cooperate in this process? Why are there no two-cell organisms? Three-cell? Four-cell? Five-cell? – – – Twenty-cell?
QUESTION # 4 – CELL SPECIALIZATION
How did cells get the ability to “specialize;” to come into existence as a particular part of an organism? From our previous example, how are some cells able to come into existence as part of a leaf, while others (which contain the same information) come into existence as part of a root? In regard to an animal, how do some cells become blood, while others become brain, hair, bone, or muscles? Why do we have the right number of blood cells, the right number of skin cells, the right number of bone cells; and why are they all in the right place at the right time? (Why do we have hair on our heads but not in our lungs?) Where did the program come from which guides all of these processes, and how did it get written in the cells (if it even is)? How do cells know to quit reproducing once a job is finished, once a leg has been formed, or a cut has been healed?
QUESTION # 5 – MALE & FEMALE REPRODUCTION
Regarding Reproduction: How did a single-cell organism (the original kind of life form according to Evolution) which reproduced by simply dividing in two, “accidentally” evolve into all the various types of separate male and female multi-cellular organisms which must come together to mate? This includes everything from insects and animals to humans. (This is analogous to suggesting that an original kind of bolt accidentally evolved into all the various types of aircraft, each type having two versions, both programmed and equipped for mid air refueling.)
How did a totally separate male organism (something which “did not exist originally”) and a totally separate female organism (something else which “did not exist originally”) find themselves in existence at the same time, in the same place, “by sheer accident”? How “by sheer accident” were these two “genetic mistakes” sexually compatible? How did this female get “mutated” into existence with her entire reproductive system installed, functional, and ready for mating? How did this male get “mutated” into existence with the totally compatible, and totally required (for species survival) counterpart system installed, functional, and ready for mating? How did these two organisms “by sheer chance” find themselves with brains, so they were able to understand such things as males, females, and mating (so they wouldn’t just stand around thinking they were amoebas)? How “by sheer chance” did their brains get programmed with the instinct to come together to mate and the knowledge of how to proceed? (A computer is useless unless you program it.) If the male, the female, the male’s brain (with program), the female’s brain (with program), or any part of either one of their entire reproductive systems was missing, inadequate, or failed to operate properly at this time, the organisms could not have produced an offspring. If they could not have produced an offspring, neither could they have established, nor continued a male/female multi-cellular species.
How by “sheer accident” do we have female organisms with wombs and the ability to grow a placenta and an umbilical cord, which enables the baby to receive nourishment during gestation and provide for the elimination of waste? How “by sheer accident” do we have others with the ability to produce eggs, which form around their offspring and contain all the right amounts of all the right nutrients needed during gestation? How do these organisms know that their eggs need to stay warm? How do the babies know to break out of the shell?
QUESTION # 6 – MAMMALS
How “by sheer accident” did animals develop the ability to produce milk, as well as the need for it? How do mothers “accidentally” know that their babies need to be fed, as well as how to do it? How do new-born babies “accidentally” know to look for their mother’s breasts and what to do once they find them? How ‘by accident’ did a mothers’ body gain the ability to chemically alter the milk she is producing when her baby gets sick—providing healing properties. How ‘by accident’ did a baby’s mouth gain the ability to signal it’s mother’s body, when the baby gets sick? How did both the mommy and the baby accidentally come into existence – at the same time, in the same place, both fully functional, with brains and programs installed? (If they didn’t, which one evolved first and how many generations did it take for the other one to arrive?)
QUESTION # 7 – INTERBREEDING OF SPECIES
Why can’t we interbreed different species? If cats and dogs came from the same ancestor, then shouldn’t we be able to interbreed them? Wouldn’t they have done it on their own? Wouldn’t the world be filled with a much greater mixture of animals because of interbreeding? Why hasn’t science ever done it using the technique of in vitro fertilization? [Believe me, if this was possible, Evolutionists would have done it by now, as a mixed species could easily be presented as a “transitional life form.”] About the only interbreeding of animal species which is possible is between a horse and a donkey (both of the genus “Equus”) which produces a mule, and between a lion and a leopard (both of the genus “Panthera”) which produces a leopon. Neither the mule nor the leopon, however, can reproduce. They are both sterile.
Continuing the line of questioning from number five above: How did one species with separate male and female organisms (like cats) reproduce a different species with separate male and female organisms (like dogs)? Since different species are unable to mate with each other, then how did an entirely new and separate species–both male and female, sexually compatible with each other, but not with other species–ever come into being? This question can be asked as many times as there are different species in the world.
QUESTION # 8 – EVOLUTIONARY LINES OF ASCENT
Why can’t we line up any of the species according to their evolutionary ascent? What is the evolutionary line leading up to, or even the species immediately before the porcupine? How about the cat? giraffe? elephant? skunk? pig? wasp? electric eel? What are the lines that take the blue whale and the black widow spider back to a common ancestor? How about the duck-billed platypus? What did this creature evolve from? It has a bill like a duck, a tail like a beaver, feet like an otter, spurs like a rooster, claws like a turtle, venom like a snake, and is classified as a mammal, yet lays eggs? (I’ll bet God was laughing at Evolution when He created this one.)
QUESTION # 9 – LIVESTOCK
If all animals came into existence by accident, and the various species were established through the processes of natural selection (i.e. only the strong survive), how did livestock species like sheep ever come into existence? Sheep are totally dependant upon humans for their survival and would quickly perish out in nature. (Humans supposedly evolved into existence around the same time as sheep.)
QUESTION # 10 – PRESENT DAY EVOLUTION
Why has there never been a creature found which was partially evolved between two species? Why, in modern times or in any book of history, has no one ever reported seeing anything out of the ordinary, like a snake with the beginning of legs hobbling around on its nubs? Or a slightly feathered reptile learning to flap its legs? Or a fish trying to stand on its feet? Or a cow growing flippers? Or a monkey beginning to speak? Why does every creature fit perfectly into a particular group? Why is every dog a dog, every snake a snake, every bird a bird, and every elephant an elephant?
QUESTION # 11 – THE FEAR OF MAN
If humans evolved from animals and are in essence no different, then why do animals fear man? Why do humans have no “natural enemies?” Why are we not a regular part of the food chain? Why does the lion (the “king of the jungle”) avoid humans? Why do national parks warn people that wild animals are dangerous once they lose their “natural fear of man?” Why do farmers make scare-crows look like people? Why do some wild animals abandon their young if they are touched by a human? Why do we have to entice wild animals with food to come near? Why do hunters have to use camouflage, duck blinds, tree stands, etc.?
QUESTION # 12 – HUMAN DOMINION
If humans evolved from animals and are in essence no different, then why do humans rule the earth? Why are we the only species that cuts down trees to make room for our lives? Why are we the only species that build farms and plant orchards? Why are we the only species that creates national parks, wildlife preserves, aquariums, and zoos? Why are we the only species that builds earth-moving machines for mining and factories for converting natural resources? Why are we the only species that raises other species (en masse) for food? Why are we the only species that has pets?
QUESTION # 13 – HUMAN BIOLOGICAL COMPLEXITY
How did a string of “chance random mutations” result in the incredible complexity of the human being, on either the macro or the micro level (not to mention the complexity of all the animals which exist)?
13-a. Macro Biological Complexity
Each one of us is a living, breathing, thinking, moving, sensing, desiring, willing, creative, and emotional human being, perfectly suited for interacting with and surviving in our environment. We have a brain, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, arms, hands, fingers, legs, feet, toes, finger nails, toe nails, joints, skin, hair, nerves, bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, heart, blood, veins, arteries, lungs, kidneys, pharynx, esophagus, stomach, intestines, pancreas, etc., each of which is in the right place, of the right dimensions, in the right amount, performing the right function (or functions). Together, they form one magnificent system. Our bodies take in food and oxygen to produce energy, and then rid themselves of waste. They grow, replace worn out parts (cells), repair themselves when damaged, fight off disease, sense our environment (five different ways), do work, create and transfer heat (to keep the internal organs at the required temperature), and cool themselves off. We have a skeletal system–consisting of more than 200 bones–which supports our body, protects our internal organs, and helps keep our blood healthy. We have a muscular system–consisting of 600 muscles–which enables us to move and aids in digestion, breathing, and blood circulation. We have a digestive system–using eleven parts of the body and thirty-two perfectly shaped, perfectly positioned teeth, performing an eighteen step process–which provides us with energy and enables us to grow. We have a respiratory system–using several parts of the body, including six-hundred to a thousand square feet (if flattened out) of air sacks in our lungs, performing a five step process–which provides us with oxygen and rids us of carbon dioxide. We have a circulatory system–using several parts of the body and more than 60,000 miles of arteries, veins, and branching capillaries–performing six different functions. We have a urinary system–using several parts of the body, including more than 1 million filtering units in each kidney–which rids us of waste. We have a lymphatic system–consisting of ducts, channels, and glands located throughout the body–which cleanses and nourishes all of our body tissue. We have an endocrine system–consisting of five major types of glands and incorporates the brain, kidneys, stomach, and pancreas–which plays an important part in the way our bodies use food, the way we grow, the way we handle stress and emergencies, and the way we reproduce. We have three different nervous systems which run all the other systems. We also have a reproductive system, which upon uniting with a person of the opposite sex, can actually produce another human being in only 280 days. All twelve systems function together as one overall system known as the “human body.”
13-b. Micro Biological Complexity
The human body is made up of 30 trillion diverse and complicated cells (20 billion of which wear out and are replaced daily). Each cell has a nucleus containing millions of components. The brain is made up of 12 billion cells. There are 120 trillion electrical connections in the brain. Every cubic inch of the brain contains more than 100 million nerve cells interconnected by 10 thousand miles of fiber. The brain sends and/or receives 100 million electrical signals to and from the body every second. These messages travel at speeds of up to 100 yards per second. All 30 trillion diverse cells are produced from the single “blueprint” stored in the DNA molecule. After conception, the cells begin to divide and specialize, but each one contains the entire “blueprint” (This is how scientists were recently able to clone a sheep.) One human DNA molecule contains enough information to fill 1000 books, each 500 pages long, typed in very small print. There are 10 to the 87th power ways to arrange the information in a single DNA rung, but only one way to be correct as required for reproduction. The human body has a built in DNA error correction system. (A number of key enzymes within the cell do nothing other than find and correct DNA errors.)
A simple question we could ask is, “Could the human race–combining all of our knowledge, creative ability, science, and technology–create a computer robot with all the abilities of the human being?” If the answer is no–which it unquestionably is–then how can anyone believe that what is far too complex and awesome for the greatest human minds to duplicate happened by accident? (We can’t even make a robot that can walk smoothly.) If you really believe this mess–that human beings happened by accident–then I’ve got another one for you: I didn’t write this book. I accidentally knocked my computer keyboard into a box of frogs that subsequently jumped up and down on the keys and produced the whole thing!
QUESTION # 14 – REQUIREMENTS FOR LIFE ON EARTH
How did each of the factors required for life to exist on earth come into being in exactly the right place, in the right form, in the right amount, at the right time, entirely by accident, apart from any intelligent input, design, effort, or orchestration? (Below are just a few of these factors; there are probably billions!)
14-a. The earth has all of the requirements for physical life–food, liquid water, humidity, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, light, heat, gravity, magnetism, etc.–all in the precisely required forms, locations, and amounts.
14-b. Plants “breathe out” oxygen which animals need; animals breathe out carbon dioxide which plants need.
14-c. If the earth were smaller, its gravity would be less and could not hold air or water (our atmosphere). In addition to being comprised of these basic biological needs, our atmosphere also protects us from eight deadly rays from the sun as well as from approximately 20,000 meteorites which would otherwise strike the earth daily.
14-d. Ozone, the element in our atmosphere which stops these eight deadly rays, allows the most deadly one through in just the right amount. This precise amount of radiation kills just enough green algae–which grows in water and is an important source of food for aquatic animals–to keep it from filling all the lakes, rivers and oceans of the world.
14-e. If the earth were twice its size, everything would weigh eight times as much and no life forms could exist here.
14-f. Without the 23 degree tilt of the earth as it rotates, the poles would be much colder, the equator much hotter, and only about half of its land mass could be inhabited.
14-g. The earth is the only planet where water can remain liquid.
14-h. Without lightening, which takes nitrogen out of the atmosphere and puts it into the ground, plants could not grow and there would be no food source for animals.
14-i. Without ocean currents–such as the Gulf Stream–which are caused by a combination of constant winds and the earth’s rotation, the oceans would stagnate and poison the earth.
14-j. Without the earth’s magnetic field, which affects all biological systems, life could not exist here.
14-k. Without our moon, with its precise size and distance from the earth–causing ocean tides byits gravitational pull–the oceans would stagnate and poison the earth.
14-l. The moon’s gravitational pull mixes the elements of our atmosphere, which is required to continually provide us with the right amount of oxygen.
14-m. The sun is the precise size and distance from the earth required for life to exist here. With one percent less of the sun’s energy, the earth would be covered in ice. With one percent more, it would be unbearably hot.
Before continuing, please consider the following question: “What are the chances of it coming up heads?” You, of course, cannot answer this question unless you have more information. (Am I talking about a coin? Is somebody flipping it in the air? Is gravity going to cause it to land on a hard, flat surface?) What if I told you, however, there is no more information? Notice I didn’t say, “I don’t have any more information.” I said, “There is no more information.” There is no object, there are no forces to act upon an object, and there is no surface where an object can land. Your answer, therefore, would have to be, ‘There is no chance of it coming up heads.’ There must be an object, there must be a force to act upon that object, and there must be a place for that object to land in order for “chance” to exist. “Chance,” you see, is not a force. “Chance” cannot do anything! It cannot cause anything, it cannot affect anything, and–needless to say–it could not have created the universe.
B. SCIENTIFIC FACTS WHICH AGREE WITH THE BIBLE & DISAGREE WITH THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION
FACT # 1 – THE AGE OF THE UNIVERSE
The earth and the universe are very young, and this disproves the Theory of Evolution. Today, practically all scientists agree that if Evolution was true, it would have taken billions of years for the species on earth to have evolved to the complexity of modern day life forms. The latest claims say that the original life form lived somewhere between 3.5 and 4.6 billion years ago, and that the earth and the universe are hundreds of billions of years old. (It’s important to note that this theoretical length of time has been continually increased as more and more powerful microscopes have shown the complexity of the microscopic world.) (The “simple cell” is a term no longer used.) The following are scientific facts which show that the earth and the universe are very young. (Remember that the Bible indicates the earth and the universe are approximately six-thousand years old.)
1-a. Earth’s Magnetic Field:
The strength of earth’s magnetic field decreases by 50% every 1,400 years. (This measure of its energy decay is known as its “half-life.”) This means that 1,400 years ago, the magnetic field was twice as strong as it is right now. 1,400 years before that, it was four times as strong as it is today. Before that, eight times as strong, then 16 times as strong, then 32 times and so on. At some point around 10,000 years ago, the magnetic field would have been so strong that enzymes within the functioning cell could not have held together, and life could not have existed on earth. 20,000 years ago, many of the atoms on earth could not have held together. It is also believed that the earth’s structure could not have survived the heat which would have been produced by the electro-magnetic energy.
1-b. Helium in Our Atmosphere:
The atmosphere around the earth contains helium, which it receives from at least two sources. It is generated by the decay of radioactive elements in the earths’ crust and, it comes in from the sun. Current diffusion models all indicate that helium leaves our atmosphere—escaping into space—at a much slower rate than it is deposited. Based upon the current rate of deposit, the amount which escapes, and the amount which is currently present, the earth appears to be less than 1.8 million years old.
Obviously, there was certain amount of helium in the atmosphere when God created it, so that the current amount has been achieved in 6,000 years. If the earth was actually 4.5 billion years old—which is what evolutionist claim—and helium had been accumulating for that length of time, life would not be possible on earth.
1-c. Moon Quakes:
Four seismometers left on the moon in the 1960s and 70s—by the Apollo astronauts—recorded 28 “moon-quakes” between then and 2019. This indicates that the moon is still cooling and shrinking, since its’ creation. This indicates that the moon cannot be millions or billions of years old, because it would not have any remaining heat to lose.
Evolutionists claim that the earth came into existence 4.5 billion years ago, and the moon, shortly after that.
1-d. Moon Drift:
The “Lunar Distance”—the average distance between the center of the earth and the center of the moon—is approximately 250,000 miles. (The moons’ orbit is oval.) This ‘average distance,’ however, is increasing. The gravitational pull of the moon creates a “tidal bulge” on the earth which causes the moon to spiral outwards very slowly. Based on these gravitational forces and the current rate of drift, scientists can calculate how much the moon has moved over time. Six thousand years ago, the moon would have been about 800 feet closer. One and a half billion years ago, it would have been touching the earth! The laws of physics actually show that if the two were ever closer than 11,500 miles, (a distance known as the “Roche Limit”), the earth’s powerful tidal forces would have broken the moon apart.
Evolutionists claim that the earth came into existence 4.5 billion years ago, and the moon, shortly after that.
1-e. Comets in Our Solar System:
Comets—which have been described as ‘dirty snowballs orbiting the sun’—lose some of their mass every time their orbit takes them close to it. These comets—which scientists believe are as old as the universe—shouldn’t be able to exist for more than about 10,000 years. This suggests that the universe is less than 10,000 years old.
Evolutionists, unwilling to accept this possibility, have theorized two possible sources for these comets—which shouldn’t exist if our solar system is billions of years old. They call these theoretical sources the “Oort Cloud” and the “Kuiper Belt.” The “Oort Cloud” is suggested to be a supply of comets which exists somewhere outside our solar system (i.e. too far away to detect or verify). The” Kuiper Belt,” the name given to an area beyond Neptune’s orbit, has been found to contain objects which are too large (like Pluto and its’ moons) and too few in number to produce the comets which we see.
1-f. Continental Erosion:
Earths’ continents are being continually eroded by storms, as land masses are blasted by sand, water, ice, etc. – carried by the wind. In addition, on the coasts, they encounter crashing waves, tides, currents, and corrosion. (Corrosion occurs when the seas’ pH is less than seven). If the earth was 4.5 billion years old, there would be no continents; they would have been reduced to sea-level ‘long’ before now.
Evolutionists claim that the earth came into existence 4.5 billion years ago.
1-g. There Was a World-Wide Flood:
About 4,000 years ago—according to geology, paleontology, population growth studies and the Bible—there was a world-wide flood. The Bible says that God sent this flood as judgment against the people of that day, killing all except for eight of them. It says that people had become unceasingly evil in every way, and God said, ‘Enough! The results of this flood—which can be seen around our planet—serve as further evidence that the earth is thousands of years old, not billions. Today, this evidence is routinely ignored or deliberately misinterpreted by ‘evolutionary scientists,’ (which God said was going to happen) because they hate this reality. They hate the fact that God judged the world in the past, and they hate the fact that He is preparing to do it again. Here is some of that evidence.
1-h. Sea-Floor Sediment:
Each year, wind and water erode an estimated 20 billion tons of dirt and rock debris from the continents, depositing it on the seafloor. Most of this material remains—as loose sediments—near the continents. Some of this sediment appears to be removed (an estimated 1 billion tons per year) as tectonic plates slide slowly beneath the continents. (Continents move about an inch or two per year). The net gain is around 19 billion tons per year. The average thickness of all these sediments—globally over the whole seafloor—is less than 1,300 feet (400 m). At 19 billion tons per year, this amount of sediment would accumulate in less than 12 million years. Millions of years, however, are totally unnecessary, as the flood—which God sent around 4,000 years ago—would have deposited the greatest amount of this sediment. In the latter stages of the flood, water would have drained off the emerging land, dumping its sediment offshore.
Evolutionists claim that the earth came into existence 4.5 billion years ago and the sediment has been accumulating for billions of years?
1-i. Geological Layers / Poly-Straight Fossils:
As water moves rapidly across an area of land—such as during a flood—it will stir up dirt and/or sand and carry it along with it. As it slows down or stops, the sediments, being heavier than the water, settle to the bottom, forming one or more layers. (Heavier silts settle before lighter ones.) Subsequently, if more water comes in, it will bring in more sediment, thereby depositing one or more additional layers on top of the one (s) already laid. After a relatively short period of time, this sediment—if it contains the necessary clay and limestone—will coalesce into solid rock (like cement). If, before these layers become fully hardened, they are adjusted by upheavals of the ground—such as when “the springs of the great deep were bursting forth” during the flood—they can bend without cracking or breaking. (Otherwise, the only way for this to happen is for the ‘already hardened layers’ to be re-softened by extreme heating—causing re-crystalization—then undergo adjustment before re-cooling). At numerous locations around the world—such as the Grand Canyon—massive layers of strata can be seen, not only bent, but ‘tightly folded,’ without evidence of the sediments being heated. This means that multiples of these layers were formed, then bent together, before fully hardening. These distinct layers often extend from tens to hundreds of miles in all directions. Found on different continents.
‘Poly straight fossils’—fossils of plants and animals, which extend up through two or more of these rock layers—also show that there were not long periods of time which occurred between the forming of these layers. A plant or animal—partially covered by a layer of sediment—is not going to maintain its’ complete shape for millions or billions of years, waiting for the exposed portion to be covered by the next layer of sediment. (F.Y.I. There are sea-life fossils on top of every mountain range on the earth).
Evolutionists claim that there were from two-million to two-billion years between the formation of any two of these geological layers. (This is what they refer to as the “geologic column” or “geologic record.”). As the information above reveals, however, these layers formed, often many at a time, quite rapidly.
1-j. Dinosaur Bone / Not Stone:
How do fossils—rocks in the shapes of plants or animals—form? // As stated in the entry above, when water moves rapidly across an area of land—such as during a flood—it will stir up dirt and/or sand and carry it along with it. As it slows down or stops, the sediments, being heavier than the water, settle to the bottom, forming one or more layers. (Heavier silts settle before lighter ones.) Subsequently, if more water comes in, it will bring in more sediment, thereby depositing one or more additional layers on top of the one (s) already laid. Any larger objects which happen to get swept along with this water and also sink to the bottom, can become buried within these layers of sediment. After a relatively short period of time, this sediment—if it contains the necessary clay and limestone—will coalesce into solid rock (like cement), permanently encasing any totally covered objects inside. Any of these objects which happen to be of an organic nature—plants or animals—will gradually decay, and their bodies will be replaced by the minerals which surround them. Ultimately, the objects themselves cease to exist, but their exact shapes are maintained by the minerals which replace them.
This is generally what geologists find in their excavations. In recent years, however, there have been several fossils found—including a Tyrannosaurus-Rex femur—which are still part bone. The T-Rex ‘fossil’ contains soft, stretchy tissue, branching blood vessels and intact cells inside the blood vessels. Similar finds involve a Hadrosaur and a Triceratops.
Evolutionists claim that dinosaurs died out 66 million years ago, but there is no way for biological material to survive for this ‘imaginary’ length of time.
1-k. Human Population & Growth Rate:
Many scientists believe that the population of the earth has been increasing at about two percent per year over the centuries. (According to the U.S. Census Bureau, it was 7.73 billion in 2020) Using computer modeling; beginning with a population of six people, 4, 000 years ago (Noah’s three sons and their wives, at the end of the flood), and applying a growth rate of two-percent per year, gives a number which works with the quantity of people living today.
Evolutionists claim that humans accidentally evolved (from chimp-like ancestors) 4 to 9 million years ago. If this was true, there should be countless billions of people living today or buried in the fossil record, and Earths’ resources should have been used up. (F.Y.I. If humans had been here for 50,000 years, the population should be ’10 to the 99th power. If humans bad been here for one million years, the population should be ’10 to the 2,100th power.
FACT # 2 – THE TIME SPAN OF CREATION
Not only are the earth and the universe approximately six-thousand years old, they were created over a period of six literal 24-hour days–as stated in the Bible.
And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day. Genesis 1:23
For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but He rested on the seventh day. Exodus 20:11
2-a. The Crust of the Earth Formed in Less Than One Second.
Granite underlies all of the continents of the earth and was originally under all of the sea basins as well. Over 200,000 samples of this granite–from many different depths, from all over the earth–have been analyzed. All of these samples contain a mineral known as biotite (or mica). These are the visible black specks which can be seen in a marble building, marble floor, etc. Under a microscope, all of this biotite shows evidence of the radioactive decay of polonium 214 (as well as 210 and 218). When the polonium was decaying, it was radiating energy. The granite hardened and cooled fast enough to register the effect of this radioactive energy. The effect shows up as microscopically observable rings (or spheres, when considering it three-dimensionally) which are known as “pleocolic radioholos,” or “polonium radiohalos”. If the granite had not hardened quickly enough, it would have been too unstable to record these rings. The half-life of polonium 214 is only .000164 seconds. (The “half-life” is the length of time it takes for one-half of a substance to disappear or change into a different substance.) After seven half-lives of any element, all the measurable energy is gone. This means that the crust of the earth was formed (the granite had hardened and cooled) in less than .001148 second. (.000164 second per half-life x 7 half-lives = .001148 second.) This means that when God said “let dry ground appear,” it did! It could have formed 871 times in one second (.001148 second x 871 = 1 second). This research was done by Physicist Dr. Robert V. Gentry.
2-b. Relationships of Dependency
There are relationships in nature in which totally dissimilar organisms are dependent upon each other for survival (in addition to being a food source). Here are some examples. (1). The symbiotic relationship between the honey bee and pollen bearing plants which require cross pollination. (2). The symbiotic relationship between the Fig Gall Wasp and a fig tree. This plant cannot reproduce without this wasp, and this wasp cannot reproduce without this plant. (3). The bumble bee and a plant known as the “Bee Lily.” This species of lily, which is totally dependent upon the bumble bee for cross-pollination, produces a platform for the male bee to land on. This platform matches perfectly the color, stripes, and scent of the female bumble bee. These lilies require cross-pollination in the spring, at a time after the male bees have emerged but before the females have. (4). There is another plant species, the “Voodoo Lily,” which requires the presence of a certain beetle for its continued existence. At the precise time that it needs this beetle, it increases its temperature by up to 35 degrees Fahrenheit, producing a smell which attracts the beetle. (How any of these relationships occurred is yet another question the Theory of Evolution cannot answer.)
What all of this shows, is that when the Bible says God created plants on day three and insects on day six, these had to be literal 24-hour days. If they had been long periods of time (as many deceived Christians believe), these plant species would not have had the ability to reproduce and, thus, would have died out before the insects arrived.
2-c. Plants and the Sun
A similar situation also exists in regard to plant life and the sun. The Bible says God created the plants on day three and the sun on day four. Again, if these days had been long periods of time, the plants would not have survived until the sun began to shine.
FACT # 3 – THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
The Second Law of Thermodynamics disproves both The Big Bang Theory and The Theory of Organic Evolution.
3-a. Disproving The Big Bang Theory
The universe is extremely precise, orderly, and equipped to support life on earth. [A year is 365.2422 days. / The seasons continually repeat in order. / The sun unceasingly rises and sets. / A day is always 24 hours. / Tides regularly ebb and flow. / NASA can calculate precisely where to place a satellite. / Halley’s comet is visible to the naked eye every 77 years.]
All its components are compiled, arranged, and programmed as required for life to exist here, and every form of life is equipped to function within this environment. [The sun shines in the day and plants use it to grow (leaves facing up and petals opening to receive its energy). / Trees shed their leaves in the fall before the snows come, which would weigh down their limbs and break them off. / Birds migrate south for the winter at the same time their food supply disappears (using the sun, the stars, and the earth’s magnetic field for navigation). / Bats and hamsters eat more in the fall, then hibernate through the winter–their body temperature dropping and their breathing and heart-rate slowing down–when their food supply disappears. / Animals mate so their offspring are born in the spring when they are easily camouflaged and have the summer to grow in strength. (If a deer mates in the summer, the embryo barely grows at all for four to five months so the baby is still born in the spring). / Animals native to the seashore have “built in clocks” coordinated with the ebb and flow of the tide which continue to work even when they are taken inland. / Nocturnal animals are perfectly equipped for functioning at night and diurnal animals are perfectly equipped for functioning during the day. / Cell division is dependent upon the earth’s magnetic field. / The air is mixed in part by the moon’s gravitational pull, enabling animals to breathe and survive.]
The universe’s order, however, is breaking down–moving unceasingly toward chaos–and its ability to function is continually decreasing. (This clearly speaks of creation, as Somebody had to organize it and wind it up, in order for it to be able to become disorganized and wind down.) This phenomenon is observable in many realms: the sun is cooling and getting smaller, the strength of the earth’s magnetic field is decreasing, the earth’s rotation is slowing, and the moon is moving away from the earth, just to mention a few. It’s important to note that if any one of these processes were concluded, no life could exist on earth. This relentless process of decay is so pervasive, affecting every observable part of the universe, and so unchanging, that it is formally accepted as an irrefutable law of physics: “The Second Law of Thermodynamics.”
The Big Bang Theory, which again says that the universe is the result of a giant, unplanned, and uncontrolled explosion, suggests that all of this order–which is continually moving toward disorder–just happened. This is like suggesting that an explosion at a building supply company created a house which then began to decay.
3-b. Disproving the Theory of Organic Evolution
This universal law of decay applies also to chemical compounds–such as the molecules which form the living cell–and is evidence against the Theory of Organic Evolution as well. Remember that the Theory of Organic Evolution claims that the first life form came into existence as a result of the sun heating the earth’s surface. The sun’s energy supposedly caused some atoms and molecules–which just happened to be lying around together in the mud–to arrange themselves into a more complex pattern. They supposedly became an organized cell (unexplainably enclosed inside a cell membrane) as opposed to just individual atoms and molecules. This newly organized and enclosed bit of matter is said to have not only been complex enough to support life (which would probably require more complexity than the space shuttle), it was actually said to have become “living.” What we see in the real world, however–totally contrary to this theory–is that chemical compounds when left to themselves tend to break down into their more basic elements. Molecules tend to break down into their component atoms; they do not align themselves with other elements becoming more complex (nor do they wrap themselves inside cell membranes, nor do they come to life). The only way things become more complex is when some outside intelligent agent exerts control over them. Living things become more complex by the power of God, while non living things do not. In other words, there is an ability–provided by God–which enables living things to take the sun’s energy (along with other required resources) to grow more complex. Living plants and animals grow in size and, thus, complexity–as determined by quantity of cells. This is an ability which non-living matter does not have. If this ability were present in all matter–instead of being limited exclusively to living things (“matter” where life is present)–there would be no difference between a dead stick and the living tree from which it came. We would be able to grow either one of them by sticking them in the ground and letting the sun shine on them. What actually happens, however, is that the tree (which has life) uses the sun’s energy to grow (thereby becoming more complex), while the stick simply gets warm. This “ability” for living things to grow is totally unexplainable apart from the power of God and is scientifically referred to as “Taleonomy.”
FACT # 4 – THE ‘LAW OF BIOGENESIS’ (No Life In The Laboratory!)
Closely related to this universal decay of non-living chemical compounds (the chemical side of the Second Law of Thermodynamics) is another law of physics know as “The Law of Biogenesis.” Because reality clearly shows that life could not have come into existence by accident (it is more than just chemicals, it requires enormous complexity, and chemical compounds not influenced by an outside intelligent agent tend to break down), this obviously means that living things only come from other living things. If you want to grow a flower, you must start with a flower; if you want to grow algae, you must start with algae (unless you are God). Formally stated, this law says, “Life only comes from life! Spontaneous generation has never occurred!”
{Comedy Break}
There are Evolutionists who spend their entire careers in laboratories trying to “create life,” trying to exert control over non living matter in hopes that it will begin living. They are combining various substances–such as ammonia, hydrogen, methane, and water–then injecting these new compounds with electricity (kind of like Dr. Frankenstein, on a microscopic level). Why are they doing this? Why are they applying all of this time, energy, money, education, intelligence, and technology to try to create life? To prove that it could have happened by accident (“in the beginning”). None of the amino acids which have been produced by these experiments could ever form life, as they have all been mixtures of both the right-handed and left-handed variety. “Life” absolutely requires that all amino acids be of the left-handed variety. A single right-handed one, in a string of left-handed ones, destroys all possibilities of life.
FACT # 5 – MUTATIONS & NEW SPECIES
Mutations cannot change one species into another! First of all, mutations never add new DNA information; they either duplicate what is already present or they omit some. (DNA is the genetic information contained in the living cell which determines the characteristics and functions of a species. The DNA of a parrot determines everything from the size, shape, color, and location of its beak to the speed at which its heart will beat while resting. The DNA of a flower determines everything from the quantity, color, thickness, and location of its petals to its ability to take in energy from the sun.) If an organism is born with a mutation, it may end up with too many of something which the species normally has (i.e. a dog born with five legs), or missing something the species normally has (i.e. a dog born with three legs), but it is not going to end up with something new (i.e. a dog born with a wing). Second, even if mutations did add new information, the chances of a species mutating into something viable is mathematically impossible. The chance of a species having a single beneficial mutation is about 1 in 20 (5% or .05). The chance of a species having two beneficial mutations in a row is about 1 in 400 (.05 x .05 = .0025). The chance of a species having five beneficial mutations in a row is about 1 in 3,200,000 (.05 x .05 x .05 x .05 x .05 =.0000003125). The chance of a species having enough beneficial mutations in a row to change into a viable new species is “NOT!” Third, regarding animals, it is biologically impossible. A mutation of only one-billionth of an animal’s entire genetic make up (one-billionth of its genome) is terminal, and a mutation of only three sets of chromosomes will result in an animal’s death before it is mature enough to reproduce. Fourth, DNA has a built-in error correction system which keeps a species from drifting genetically, thus keeping it from changing or terminating. Fifth, if a species could mutate into a different species, it would be inferior until it finally arrived (i.e. a fish swimming or walking with a half leg/half fin), and natural selection would ensure that it did not survive. It would be unable to catch prey or escape predators. A fin changing into a leg will be a bad fin, then a bad leg, before becoming a good leg.
Regarding a theoretical common ancestor of apes and humans: Evolutionists have claimed that apes and humans are 98.4% genetically identical. If this was true, this extremely enormous 1.6% genetic difference would make having a common ancestor absolutely impossible. Considering that a mutation of only 1 billionth (0.000000001) of an animal’s genome would be fatal, a string of mutations amounting to 0.8% (.008) of its genome (½ of the 1.6% difference, which would be required to get either evolved from a common ancestor) could kill the species 8 million times before it could become ape or human. (8,000,000 x 0.000000001 = .008 difference) The claim that humans have evolved from fish (through amphibians, reptiles, etc.) is far more mathematically absurd. Having similarity means having the same Creator, not the same ancestor.
FACT # 6 – COMPLEXITY OF LANGUAGES
If the Theory of Evolution was true and man did evolve from animals, then languages would have also evolved. As animals gradually turned into people, they would have begun developing the ability to speak and, over time, their language would have grown more complex. This also means that languages would have continued to evolve, as Evolution is never proposed to have stopped. What language studies show, however, is that some of the most ancient languages are the most complex–in regard to syntax, case, gender, mood, voice, tense, and, verb form. Some examples are Latin– developed in 200 B.C., Greek–developed in 800 B.C., and Vedic Sanskrit–developed in 1500 B.C. (God created the first man and woman intelligent and intellectual so He could have an intellectual and loving relationship with them.)
