FOUNDATION OF CREATIONISM

• Genesis 1 1
• In the beginning God created the heavens and the
  earth.

7
FOUNDATION OF CREATIONISM

• Romans 118-25
• The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven
  against all the godlessness and wickedness of men
  who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since
  what may be known about God is plain to them,
  because God has made it plain to them. For since
  the creation of the world God's invisible
  qualitieshis eternal power and divine
  naturehave been clearly seen, being understood
  from what has been made, so that men are without
  excuse.   For although they knew God, they
  neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to
  him, but their thinking became futile and their
  foolish hearts were darkened. Although they
  claimed to be wise, they became fools and
  exchanged the glory of the immortal God for
  images made to look like mortal man and birds and
  animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them
  over in the sinful desires of their hearts to
  sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies
  with one another. They exchanged the truth of God
  for a lie, and worshiped and served created
  things rather than the Creatorwho is forever
  praised. Amen

FOUNDATION OF CREATIONISM

• 1 Peter 315
• be ready to give an answer to everyone asking
  you a reason concerning the hope in you, with
  meekness and fear
• Psalm 1345
• I praise you because I am fearfully and
  wonderfully made your works are wonderful, I
  know that full well

REASON VS BLIND FAITH

• Know your reasons for faith...

The Bible and the History of Life

• And God made the beast of the earth after his
  kind, and cattle after their kind, and every
  thing that creepeth upon the earth after his
  kind and God saw that it was good.
• Genesis 125

11
The Bible and the History of Life

• 11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass,
  the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree
  yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in
  itself, upon the earth and it was so. 12 And the
  earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed
  after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit,
  whose seed was in itself, after his kind and God
  saw that it was good.
• Genesis 111-12

IMPOSSIBILITY OF CHANCE

• Chance alone is at the source of every
  innovation, of all creation in the biosphere.
  Pure chance, absolutely free but blind, is at
  the root of the stupendous edifice of evolution
  
• - Dr. Jacques Monod, biologist.

BLIND FAITH!

IMPOSSIBILITY OF CHANCE

• Consider this
• Chance requires 10 billion tries on the average
  to count to 10 using numbered coins

IMPOSSIBILITY OF CHANCE

• YOUR FIRST TOOL COUNT TO 10
• Your simplest intelligent action displays your
  own proof that creation is an action of
  intelligence, not blind faith/chance

28
IMPOSSIBILITY OF CHANCE

• Consider thisEven the tiniest of bacterial cells
  require thousands of pieces of intricate
  molecular machines made up of millions of atoms

far more complicated than any man-made machine
ever made with intelligence!

The Fossil Record and Education

• WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT?

MR
34
The Fossil Record and Education
Biology Principles and Explorations, Holt,
Rinehart, Winston, 2001, p. 283.

• Fossils offer the most direct evidence that
  evolution takes place.
• Fossils, therefore, provide an actual record of
  Earths past life-forms. Change over time
  (evolution) can be seen in the fossil record.

Does The Evidence Show This?

FOSSIL RECORD

• If evolution is true, what would we expect to
  find in the fossil record? NO GAPS

FOSSIL RECORD
most species, including most horses, appear
abruptly in the fossil record, change very little
over their entire history and then disappear just
as unceremoniously. This pattern is well known to
paleontologists who have actually attributed it
to the imperfection of the fossil record the
missing links between one species and another
have all died without the decency to leave their
remains as fossils.
Johnjoe McFadden (Professor of Molecular Biology
and Quantum Physics), Quantum Evolution, 2000, p.
71.

CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION
Biology, Miller and Levine, 2002, p. 746.

• The Cambrian Period, which began 544 million
  years ago, is marked by an abundance of different
  fossils. Why the difference from earlier periods?
  
• By the Cambrian period, some animals had evolved
  shells, skeletons, and other hard body parts

Difference Zero to BOOM! Evidence?
40
CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION
David Berlinski (evolutionist), A Tour of the
Calculus, 1995

• There is no question that such gaps exist. A big
  gap appears at the beginning of the Cambrian
  explosion, over 500 million years ago, when great
  numbers of new species suddenly appeared in the
  fossil record.

MR
41
CAMBRIAN EXPLOSION
Ariel Roth (Ph.D. Zoology), Origins,1998, p. 184.

• The Cambrian explosion is not just a case of all
  the major animal phyla appearing at about the
  same place in the geologic column. It is also a
  situation of no ancestors to suggest how they
  might have evolved.

Where are the thousands of observable
intermediates?
MR
42
Invertebrate to Vertebrate (Fish)
Biology, Miller and Levine, 2000, p. 680.

• Fishes are considered to be the most primitive
  living vertebrates
• similarities in structure and embryological
  development show that fishes and modern
  invertebrate chordates probably did evolve from
  common invertebrate ancestors that lived many
  millions of years ago.

There is not one single intermediate in the
textbook to support this claim!

Invertebrate to Vertebrate (Fish)

Aerial Roth (Ph.D. Zoology), Origins, p.
189.

• However, we have virtually no evidence in the
  fossil record or elsewhere for any of the changes
  proposed during this immensity of time but the
  public hears nothing of this problem.

MR
45
FISH TO AMPHIBIAN
Biology Visualizing Life, Holt, Rinehart, and
Winston, 1998, p. 461.

• Because of these similarities, scientists think
  the first amphibians were descendants of the
  lobe-finned fishes, a group whose modern members
  include the coelacanth and the lungfishes.

This is supposedly evolving into legs
MR
46
COELACANTH

• Extinct for 70 million years
• 1938 living coelacanths were found
• It is still 100 fish no mutations?!!

Ernst Mayr, Professor Emeritus in the Museum of
Comparative Zoology at Harvard University
Ernst Mayr, Hailed as the Darwin of the 20th
century, What Evolution Is, 2001, p. 14.

• Given the fact of evolution, one would expect
  the fossils to document a gradual steady change
  from ancestral forms to the descendants. But this
  is not what the paleontologists finds. Instead,
  he or she finds gaps in just about every phyletic
  series.

Blind faith!

Colin Patterson Senior paleontologist at the
British Museum of Natural History in London
(Colin Pattersons statement that he had left out
the evolutionary transitions in his book, if he
had known of any fossils, he certainly would have
included them, is stated in Personal
Communications by Colin Patterson to Luther
Sunderland, Appalachian, New York, April 10,
1979.)

• "I fully agree with your comments on the lack of
  direct illustration of evolutionary transitions
  in my book. If I knew of any, fossil or living, I
  would certainly have included them. So, much as I
  should like to oblige you by jumping to the
  defense of gradualism, and fleshing out the
  transitions between the major types of animals
  and plants, I find myself a bit short of the
  intellectual justification necessary for the
  job." 

He has over 7 million fossils!
50
Dr Stephen J Gould Professor of Geology and
Zoology at Harvard University
(Gould developed punctuated equilibria)

• All paleontologists know that the fossil record
  contains precious little in the way of
  intermediate forms transitions in organic
  design, indeed our inability, even in our
  imaginations, to construct functional
  intermediates in many cases, has been a
  persistent and nagging problem for gradualistic
  accounts of evolution. The extreme rarity of
  transitional forms in the fossil record persists
  as the trade secret of palaeontology. The
  evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have
  data only at the tips and nodes of their
  branches the rest is inference however
  reasonable, not the evidence of the fossils.

Leading evolutionist!
51
Dr. Niles Eldridge Curator, Division of
Paleontology, American Museum of Natural History,
Ph.D. (Geology)
Niles Eldredge has been a paleontologist on the
curatorial staff of the American Museum of
Natural History since 1969. His specialty is the
evolution of trilobites. Developed punctuated
equilibria with Gould.

• " Micromutations do occur, but the theory that
  these alone can account for evolutionary change
  is either falsified or else it is an
  unfalsifiable, hence metaphysical theory. I
  suppose that no one will deny that it is a great
  misfortune if an entire branch of science becomes
  addicted to a false theory. But this is what
  happens in biology... I believe that one day the
  Darwinian myth will be ranked the greatest deceit
  in the history of science. When this happens many
  people will pose the question "How did this ever
  happen?"." 

Leading evolutionist!
52
Dr. Niles Eldridge Curator, Division of
Paleontology, American Museum of Natural History,
Ph.D. (Geology)

• " At the core of punctuated equilibria lies an
  empirical observation once evolved, species tend
  to remain remarkably stable, recognizable
  entities for millions of years. The observation
  is by no means new, nearly every paleontologist
  who reviewed Darwin's Origin of Species pointed
  to his evasion of this salient feature of the
  fossil record. But stasis was conveniently
  dropped as a feature of life's history to he
  reckoned with in evolutionary biology. And stasis
  had continued to be ignored until Gould and I
  showed that such stability is a real aspect of
  life's history which must be confronted-and that,
  in fact, it posed no fundamental threat to the
  basic notion of evolution itself. For that was
  Darwin's problem to establish the plausibility
  of the very idea of evolution, Darwin felt that
  he had to undermine the older (and ultimately
  biblically based) doctrine of species fixity.
  Stasis, to Darwin, was an ugly inconvenience.

  Equilibria, Simon Schuster New York NY, 1985,
  pp.188-189

53
Steven Stanley, Macroevolution, 1979 p. 2
After examining the fossil record
we might wonder whether the doctrine of
evolution would qualify as anything more than an
outrageous hypothesis.
54
Dr George Wald (Professor Emeritus of Biology at
Harvard, Nobel Prize winner in Biology 1971.

• The explanation value of the evolutionary
  hypothesis of common origin is nil! Evolution not
  only conveys no knowledge, it seems to convey
  anti-knowledge. How could I work on evolution ten
  years and learn nothing from it? Most of you in
  this room will have to admit that in the last ten
  years we have seen the basis of evolution go from
  fact to faith! It does seem that the level of
  knowledge about evolution is remarkably shallow.
  We know it ought not be taught in high school,
  and that's all we know about it.

EXAMINING THE EVIDENCE

• CHANCE - impossible
• FOSSIL RECORD evidence does not support
  Darwins special evolution
• HOMOLOGY
• ADAPTATION SPECIATION
• MATERALISM

57

• H O M O L O G Y

58
DARWINS ARGUMENT

• HOMOLOGY LOOKS ALIKE
• The bones in vertebrate limbs, whether bat,
  porpoise, horse or human, follow a similar
  pattern must be a common ancestor

59
Haekel's Embryos
Early drawings were faked.
60
Haekel's Embryos
Humans never have gills as embryos! Embryonic
Stages for different animals are not similar!
61
Homology - Problem

• Common Ancestor?
• Legs Arms come from same place in embryo in all
  animals? No! So they all evolved from a
  different place? Why? If it was advantageous to
  the common ancestor originally, why the need for
  change at every level? What made it advantageous
  for the given environment at the moment?

62
Homology - Problem

• Common Ancestor?
• Legs Arms come from same gene in embryo in all
  animals? No!
• So they all evolved from different genes?
  Why? If it was advantageous to the common
  ancestor originally, why the need for change at
  every level?

63
Homology - Problem

• Different evolution for arms and legs for all
  animals?
• Problem So if arms and legs evolved in the
  embryo from different genes in different
  sections, why do they use the same pentadactyl
  structure!
• Evidence of Designed Structure
• A builder with a common plan!

64
Homology

• Sir Alister Hardy, The Living Stream, Collins,
  London, p 213, 1965
• The concept of homology is absolutely
  fundamental to what we are talking about when we
  speak of evolution yet in truth we cannot
  explain it all in terms of present day biological
  theory

65

• ADAPTATION

66
Adaptation

• Loss of information is not a credible evidence of
  special evolution! Evolution requires the gain
  of information, not the loss!

67
God, the Creator, Designer

• LIKE MATERIALS
• ATOMS
• DNA
• CILIA
• HEMOGLOBIN
• Have an ear to hear not at the embryonic level!

68
EXAMINING THE EVIDENCE

• CHANCE - impossible
• FOSSIL RECORD evidence does not support
  Darwins special evolution
• HOMOLOGY - Looking alike at a macro level is
  shown to not be alike at the micro-level.
• ADAPTATION SPECIATION - Loss of information is
  not a credible evidence of special evolution!
  Evolution requires the gain of information, not
  the loss!
• MATERALISM Requires Energy Matter No
  Intelligence in Direction or Design
