Origins, A Study on Creation

• Things we will discuss inlude -
• 3 approaches to the origin of life
• 2 types of science
• Satans 2 pronged scientific attack on
  Christianity
• Uniformatarianism
• Evolution
• Fossils
• Dinosaurs
• Some specially designed creatures
• Entropy
• Radio-isotope Dating methods
• Symbionic life
• Pre and Post Flood Environments
• Life Spans of Biblical men

Three Approaches to Creation

• Literal Biblical Creation
• God always existed and has a plan
• God created all matter energy and life in a
  literal 6 days
• Genesis is Literal,
• Earth is lt10,000 years old

• Mainstream Science
• Matter Energy always existed in a state of
  change
• Life developed on its own (Evolution)
• Earth is Billions of years old
• Things happened long ago as they do today

• Non-Literal (Figurative) Creation or Theistic
  Evolution
• God always existed
• God Created Energy Matter (Big Bang)
• God used (or allowed) the Evolution Process to
  develop life

Life is Eternal and
God makes the Rules
Life is Temporary so
man can make his own Rules
Life is Evolutionary so
God wants man to make the Rules

Satans Two Pronged Attack
Uniform-i-tarian-ism - (Lyell) The earth changes
slowly and gradually and has always done so at
the rates we see it change today.
Evolution - (Darwin) Complex life forms evolved
from simpler life forms by natural selection and
random mutation. Liiving organsims developed from
non-living chemicals by natural processes and
random chance.
6
Number Sense - The Odds
Chance of Mutation in DNA Today 1 in 107
(10,000,000)
2 Related Mutations 1 in 1014
4 Related Mutations 1 in 1028
Mutation Based Evolution of the Horse 1 in 10
3,000,000
HOWEVER - The Number of Particle
interactions in 5 Billion Years is only
about 10170 therefore -
The Odds are Ridiclulous Against Mutation Based
Evolution
7
Entropy
Definition Entropy - Degree of Disorganization
2nd Law of Thermodynamics
in the absence of the application of
energy, intelligently applied, everything runs
down toward dis-array
- Concentrations of energy (heat) are lost -
Complexity Decreases - Order Decreases -
Information is lost
Could the complex protien chains of life (DNA)
have formed by themselves from simple carbon
molecules ? The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics says
NO!
8
Entopy (cont)
We see the effects of Entropy everyday - - In
Your Body If you dont feed it the right
stuff, it dies and looses its complex
organization (returns to dust) - In Your
Home - Without the A/C on everthing comes to the
same temperature. - Things left alone deteriorate
(like your room!) We also know that energy
applied indescriminately almost always destroys
organization ( Fires, Bombs, Earthquakes,
etc) Is the universe complex, Yes. Do energy
concentrations exist, Yes. What is the obvious
conclusion ? It all just happened? NO
Creative Intelligence Exists!

Complexity over Time
Man
Science says Complexity and Organization has
increased over time
Animals
NOT OBSERVED
Plants
Protiens
Molecules
Time
The Bible says Complexity and Organization has
decreased over time
Creation
Loss of abilities
OBSERVED
Fall
Loss of species
Flood
Loss of Longevity
Sin
Time

Biblical Pre-Flood Earth
- Less harmful radiation reaches the surface -
More Ozone above / less on the surface
Canopy of Waters Above (possibly ice)
Single Land Mass
Single Sea
- Uniform Temperate Climate - Dew not Rain
(possibly within 4o C) - Giganticism in Plant
and Animal Life - No Animal Food Chain - Plants
are the only Food Source - Longevity of Man
averages 900 years
11
Post Flood Earth
- More harmful UV radiation at the surface - Less
Ozone above / more on the surface - Colder Ocean
/ Less O2
A Tougher World - Large Temperature variations /
Storms / Wind Longevity of Man (and probably
animals) is 10 of what it was Extinctions of
larger species Animal Food Chain is needed

Lifespans of Early Men
1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300
200 100
Shape of this curve is significant in science
today. It is a classic transient decay curve.

Radio-Isotope Dating - Carbon 14
Cosmic Ray
see how much C14 is left.
sample of the dead animal
in the past
in the present
- C12 and C14 exist in the environment - Animal
consumes C12 and C14 - Animal dies - C12 stays
C12 but C14 decays to C12
- Amount of C14 will be less due to radioactive
decay - C12 to C14 amounts are compared - if we
know how much C14 was present when the animal
died, we can tell how long he has been dead
14
The Clock is Faulty
the big IF
How much C14 was there when the animal died?
Assumptions made when the geologic column was
made - - C12 and C14 were at equilibrium
(stable ratio that exists today) - C12 and C14
were evenly mixed in the environment But - -
C12 and C14 are not at equilibrium today .....
C14 ratio is increasing - C14 rate of decay
today is only 70 the rate of C14 formation . -
This was published in 1958 but no one re-wrote
the text books! - people began using circular
logic Today C14 is considered invalid beyond
5000 years
15
The Clock is Circular
Life Forms
Rock Layers
Rocks are dated by geologists based on what
fossils they contain
BAD LOGIC
Fossils are dated by paleontologists based on
what rock layers they are found in
16
The Bombadier Beetle was Engineered
- 2 volitale corrosive chemicals - Inhibitor
protien - catalyst - Hi temp combustion
chamber - 200 Degree reaction
Other Amazingly well Engineered life forms and
Symbionic relationships. - Woodpecker - WomBat -
Angler Fish - Yucca Moth
It doesnt work at all until it all works !

Why You Cant Mix Creation and Evolution

• Bible teaches Death entered the world with Adams
  Sin
• Evolution assumes death always existed
• Gen 129 .. No animal food chain prior to the
  Flood (Gen 93)
• 1 Cor 1521 .. Death came through man
• Rom 821 .. the whole of creation (not just man!)
• Bible says Adam Fell and things decayed, (not
  got better)
• God Finished creation and it was Good!
• Gen 314-17 ... God cursed all
• Acts 321 .. God will restore the perfection
• All Key Doctrines of the Bible are founded in
  Genesis
• Mans Sin nature and the Need for Christ
• Gods nature / Gods Plan / Concept of Atonement
• More than 100 New Testament quotations from
  Genesis
• Genesis reads like literal history
• Real people , real places, real events

18
You Cant Mix Creation and Evolution (cont)

• Days cant be millions of years
• Adam created on the 6th day (lived 6th and 7th)
• day used in Gen 14-19 5x as related to nights,
  seasons and years
• each after its kind
• Genesis chapter 1 clearly teachs reproduction by
  kind or species
• Evolution requires 1 kind can change into
  another.
• Pre-Flood men were not primitive simpletons
• Adam was created perfect and named all
  creatures
• Decendants worked with musical instruments (Gen
  4)
• Longevity is not consistent with Evolution
• Evolution and Genesis have different basic
  sequences
• Trees before sea life
• Earth before sun
• a Sun is not needed for the new earth in
  Revelation

Why not believe Gods Word, He was there, Darwin
wasnt.
