Bias, Evidence, Interpretation

• Every scientist is biased. Scientists who are
  Christians are biased toward a biblical
  worldview, while secular scientists are tempted
  to interpret evidences through a materialistic
  perceptual filter.
• However, the same evidence is examined by all
  scientists. The only difference is the
  interpretation of that evidence.
• For this activity, examine the following diagrams
  comparing and contrasting the different
  interpretations often given by evolutionists and
  creationists.

Humorous Hybrids

• What if Genetic Engineering Goes Horribly Wrong?

Pictures from an unknown internet site.

• What if they crossed a cat with a dog?
• Would it be a Dat or a Cog?

5

• What if
• they
• crossed
• a chimp
• with a
• Pug?
• Chug?
• Pimp?

6

• What about a dog and a horse?
• Not a Hog, but maybe Dorse.

7

• Can you imagine an Eagle with a Labrador
  Retriever?
• A Legal Retriever?

8

• What if the Army replaced the war dog with an
  Ape, Ram, Shepherd mix?
• I dont know, but keep it away from me please!

9

• How about a Lab with a Macaw?
• Would that be sort of Macawb?

10

• What might an Owlchaund look like?
• It would surely give the squirrels a fit.

11

• Im sure glad the Lord said He has His eyes on
  the sparrow, especially if man messes with such a
  sweet little bird?

12

• What could be worse than finding an Abominable
  Snowman in Antarctica?
• An Abominable Penguat!

13

• A phylogenetic tree, like the diagram below,
  represents the lines of genetic ancestry among a
  group of related creatures. Evolutionists and
  Creationists agree in some ways, yet differ in
  other very significant ways regarding
  phylogenetic trees.

14
Contrasting Views

• Evil-ution
• Life from non-life
• Common Ancestor
• Variation unlimited (vertical change to new
  kinds)
• Macro-evolution (Belief in Upward change)
• Death from beginning as good and necessary to
  evolve
• If a God did it, then he is a Monster

• Creation
• Life from Living God
• Common Designer
• Variation limited(horizontal change in kinds)
• Micro-evolution (Downward change)
• Death only after sin and is enemy
• God is Good Shepherd

15
Linnaeus Lawn

• His lawn concept hypothesized that
• Each Genesis kind was unrelated to others
• Each kind stayed the same without variation
• Todays species the original kinds
• He was right about unrelated kinds.
• He was wrong about NO variation and species.

16
Evolutionary Tree

• This evolutionary tree claims that
• all modern species are descended from a common
  ancestor
• the first living cell arose from non-living
  chemicals

17
4 Questions Evolutionists Cant Answer

• Where did the chemicals come from?
• How did non-living chemicals become a live cell?
• How did new DNA arise to make all the new kinds?
• Can you name one mutation that adds information?

Contrasting Views

• Evil-ution
• Life from non-life
• Common Ancestor
• Variation unlimited (vertical change to new
  kinds)
• Macro-evolution (False) (Vertical change)
• Death from beginning as good and necessary to
  evolve
• If a God, he is a Monster

• Creation
• Life from Living God
• Common Designer
• Variation limited(horizontal change in kinds)
• Micro-evolution (True) (Horizontal change)
• Death only after sin and is enemy
• God is Good Shepherd

23
Which Creator? Did God design the system of
selfish competition, pain, fear, suffering,
death that dominates nature today? An artists
heart is revealed by His work of art.
24
What kind of Creator does this picture
portray? The Good Shepherd? or Evil-utions Monst
er?
25

• Classification the process of grouping things
  based on their similarities.
• Biologists use it to organize living things into
  groups for easier study.
• Evolutionary theory now dominates the
  classification system, and assumes that similar
  organisms in a group evolved from a common
  ancestor.
• But, many scientists reject evolution and use
  the system only for identification.

26
The Bibles Basic System (Nephesh means
feeling, thinking creature) (The word creature
implies a Creator GOD) Plants (Fruit bearing,
grass) (Plants do not have Nephesh life)
Nephesh Animals (Flyers, Swimmers, Walkers)
Nephesh Man (personally made by God to reflect
His character)
27
Mans Early Systems of Classification Aristole
(Greek in 4th centrury B.C.) Three groups (Fly,
Swim, Walk) Linnaeus (1750s) used a two-part
naming system from Latin. (Dog Canis
familiaris) - Binomial Nomenclature a two-part
name 1. Genus first part of the name
(Capitalized) (Groups similar, related
organisms) 2. Species second part of the
name. (Lowercase) (Groups similar organisms that
can mate and produce fertile offspring)

Seven Levels of Creature Classification Kingdom
Phylum Class Order Family
Genus Species Kingdom is the
biggest and broadest. Each kingdom contains phyla
each phyla contains classes, etc. The more
levels that two organisms share, the more
characteristics they have in common.

Section 6.2 The Six Kingdoms Linnaeus only used
two kingdoms (Plants and Animals) Until
recently, scientists used a five kingdom system
that combines s 1 2 below. Six Kingdoms are
now the standard 1. Archaebacteria 2.
Eubacteria 3. Protists 4. Fungi 5.
Plants 6. Animals
38

• Archaebacteria (Unicellular)
• - prokaryotes genetic material is not in a
  nucleus
• Means ancient bacteria, since evolutionists
  believe they evolved first.
• Some live in extreme environments, like very
  hot water near lava.
• Some are autotrophs, and some are heterotrophs

39
2. Eubacteria (Unicellular prokaryotes)
True Bacteria Similar to archaebacteria,
but their chemical makeup is
different. Live all over the world,
including your body. Most are
harmless, and some are very useful.
40
3. Protists (Odds and ends category many
types.) Some are unicellular like the
paramecium, yet others are multicellular
(seaweed). They are all eukaryotes (have a
nucleus around their genetic material).
41
4. Fungi (Mushrooms, molds, mildew, yeast)
Most are multicellular eukaryotes. A few like
yeast are unicellular eukaryotes. All are
heterotrophs, most feed on decaying organisms.
42
5. Plants All are multicellular
eukaryotes. All are autotrophs.
43
6. Animals All are multicellular
eukaryotes. And all are heterotrophs.
44
Small Group Class Activity

• To compare, contrast, prioritize the physical
  characteristics of various creatures.
• To formulate a simple classification of a group
  of animals based upon Baraminology.
• To evaluate the practicality and benefit of
  classifying creatures for further study.

45
Examine the NCZoo Creatures

• List only 10 of the 20 creatures in our
  classroom NCZoo.
• Compare them to determine significant common
  characteristics.
• Contrast characteristics that differ
  significantly among the creatures.
• Prioritize the characteristics that seem to
  indicate relatedness.
• Continuity (probably related)
• Discontinuity (probably not related)

46
Formulate a System of Groups

• Categorize them into separate group of related
  creatures.
• Make up fun Latinized names to represent the
  main characteristics of each of your groups.
• Dont waste too much time making up names.

47
Create an Orchard

• Estimate which of the animals in each of your
  groups are more closely related.
• Draw an Orchard of trees (groups) for the
  animals you examined in our NCZoo, similar to the
  one above, but label your orchard with your made
  up names.

48
Judge the Value of Classifying

• In what ways, if any, do you think classifying
  creatures can be beneficial?

49
Angels, et al

• See the Word Document for more notes on created
  angels.

• Lucifer does NOT look like a monster
• He is the most attractive, powerful, and
  intelligent of Gods creatures

53

• This is an example of the secular worlds effort
  to explain evil, dysfunction, disease, violent
  competition, and death
• They deny the Devil try to make competition
  survival of the cruelest a good thing

54
JESUS

• The one and only begotten Son of God
• The unique GOD / MAN
• 100 God
• 100 Man
