Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• An Answer to Evolution
• And
• Some Questions for Evolutionists

3
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• If you meet somebody who claims not to believe
  in evolution, that person is ignorant, stupid, or
  insane (or wicked, but Id rather not consider
  that).
• Richard Dawkins, Oxford University

4
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• What is Evolution?
• A Gradual process in which something changes
  into a different and usually more complex or
  better form (American Heritage Dictionary, 2000)
• When I speak of evolution today I am talking
  strictly about the theory that says all
  biological life arose from a common ancestor of a
  single cell.

5
Why the Need for this lesson?

• Student Survey in 2000
• elementary-school years (8-10) were exclusively
  creationists, whereas the oldest children
  (10.5-12) were almost exclusively evolutionists
  with a small number being creationists (Evans,
  2000)

6
Why the Need for this lesson?

• Some say, Christians should address only where
  they are going, not where they came from
• Theistic Evolution
• The consequence of Evolution makes God and Christ
  liars!

7
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• The Bible Says God Created Us
• Ps 13913-16
• Fearfully to be afraid and stand in awe (Vines)
• Wonderfully Expressing actions that are beyond
  the bounds of human powers or expectations
  (Vines)
• Skillfully wrought Ex. 2636, skill involved to
  bring about the complex and intricate formation

8
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• The Bible Says God Created Us
• In The Beginning
• Gen. 121, 27 23, 4
• This is HISTORY. And God is the most accurate
  and unbiased historian this world has ever known.
• Christ Affirms it
• Matt. 196 Mk. 106
• Jn. 546-47

9
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• What does the Body and the Bible say?
• There is Design!
• 1 Cor. 1212-27

10
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• Made Maker, Created Creator, Design
  Designer
• Law of Teleology
• Where there is design there must be a designer.
• Design
• An Arrangement of individual components within an
  object so as to accomplish a functional or
  artistic purpose.

11
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• The Body considered at 4 levels
• Cell (white blood, Nerve, etc.)
• Tissue (group of cells, skin, etc.)
• Organ (group of tissue, liver, etc.)
• System (group of organs, heart lungs
  cardiovascular system)

12
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• Design In Human Cells
• Design proves a Designer!
• Ax. 1728-29 Heb. 111-3
• Nerve Cell

13
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• Long Thin Extension to Transmit Messages
• Compare to Phone, email or fax. Did those
  message devises have a designer?
• Computer Programs based on Neuroscience

14
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• Nucleus of Cell contains DNA
• DNA is the CODE to our Genetic Makeup.
• Compare to a computer program, did Microsoft
  Windows have a designer?

15
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• Design In Human Tissues
• Design proves a Designer!
• Ps. 8947-48 Eccl. 12
• Skin
• Muscles
• Bones

16
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• Design In Human Tissues
• Skin
• Design at Hand
• Tires have tread for grip so do hands.
• How come one has a designer and the other is an
  accident?
• Eyelashes and Nose hair
• Protect eyes and filter air. Design?

17
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• Design In Human Tissues
• Muscles
• 1 Sam 175-8 38-40
• Muscles are made up of muscle fibers
• Compare muscle strands to suspension bridge
  cable. It is stronger to have a cable made up of
  smaller strands than a solid cable of the same
  size. But God knew that first!

18
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• Design In Human Tissues
• Skeletal
• Protection of the body
• Perhaps an engineer will someday develop a
  substance as strong and light and efficient as
  bone, but what engineer could devise a substance
  that, like bone, can grow continuously, lubricate
  itself, require no shutdown time, and repair
  itself when damage occurs? (Brady and Yancey,
  1980, p 90)

19
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• Design In Human Tissues
• Skeletal
• Arch in Human Foot
• Compare the design of a bridge arch to a human
  foot. This design is best for weight
  distribution.
• Very needed since the avg. human walks 65,000
  miles.
• Did the bridge have a designer?

20
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• Well what about the skeletal findings in the
  rocks?
• Just because we find different looking skeletons
  does that prove humans evolved? NO!
• The Bible is the first to admit that people are
  different.
• Many of these have been proven to not be human
  but in fact ape (Brad Harrub, Burt Thompson,
  www.apologeticspress.org/rr/rr2002/rr0205a.htm)

From Apologetic Press
21
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• Gen 64 Num 1333 - Giants
• Isa. 181-2 Difference in Skin
• Gen 527 Methuselah 969 years old
• It has been documented that the human face slowly
  protrudes outward at the passing of time (Jack
  Cuozzo, Buried Alive)
• Compare a childs face to a grandfathers
• Also a harder diet will strengthen the jaw and
  brow muscles which increases the bone
• The longer you live the bigger the facial skull.
  And we know that some in the book of Genesis
  lived for a long long time.

22
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• There are difference in cultures today.
• The Bush people (African tribe avg. 4 feet tall)
• The Zulu people (African tribe avg. 7 feet tall)

23
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• What about Neanderthals and Lucy?
• Neanderthals have been proven to be humans that
  mated in their own gene pool like the Zulu tribe.
• Lucy has been proven to be in the chimp line. No
  longer the supposed missing link.
• Further studies have shown that her pelvis, arms,
  legs, teeth, and rib cage all point to her being
  a knuckle-walking animal (Lucy Dethroned, Brad
  Harrub, Burt Thompson, www.apologecticspress.org/r
  r/rr2003/res0305a.htm)

24
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• Bias is what keeps this new info quiet.
• There is no such thing as a total lack of bias.
  I have it everybody has it. The fossil hunter
  in the field has itIn everybody who is looking
  for hominids, there is a strong urge to learn
  more about where the human line started. If you
  are working back at around three million, as I
  was, that is very seductive, because you begin to
  get an idea that that is where Homo did start.
  You begin straining your eyes to find Homo traits
  in fossils of that ageLogical, maybe, but also
  biased

25
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• Bias is what keeps this new info quiet.
• I was trying to jam evidence of dates into a
  pattern that would support conclusions about
  fossils which, on close inspection, the fossils
  themselves would not sustainit is hard for me
  now to admit how tangled in that thicket I was.
  But the insidious thing about bias is that it
  does make one deaf to the cries of other
  evidence. (Lucy The Beginnings of Humankind,
  Johanson and Edey, pg257, 258, 277)

26
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• Bias is what keeps this new info quiet.
• The finder of Lucy in the National Geographic in
  1996, 22 years after Lucy was discovered said,
  Lucy has recently been dethroned (Face-to-Face
  with Lucys Family, National Geographic,
  189396-117)

27
Are We Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

• What have we learned?
• The Body has design and thus a Designer!
• It is not an unguided accident as evolution
  teaches.
