A Few Important Definitions

• The word evolution simply means change
• Micro-evolution is a TRUE process
• Horizontal change ONLY in size, color, etc
• NOT a change in Kind and NO new DNA
• Macro-evolution is a FALSE belief
• Vertical change into new Kinds of creatures
• Microbes to monkeys to man with new DNA

Review of Views (Worldviews)?

Two Types of Science

• Direct Hard Sciences (Physics, Chemistry,
  Biology)?
• Variables Physical, tangible, controllable,
  measurable
• Repeatable (evidence in present / minimal
  assumptions
• Hypotheses tested by experiment, lab test, X-ray,
  etc
• Indirect Soft Sciences (Origins, Psych,
  Sociology)?
• Variables Intangible, uncontrollable,
  immeasurable(past historical events, emotions,
  thoughts, will, etc)?
• Not Repeatable (often from the past / many
  assumptions
• Hypotheses test inferences are much less
  reliable.

  DNA or New Kinds      No mechanism for new
  DNA or new kinds of animals  - Natural
  Selection is real and first described by
  Christians  - Genetic change limited to kinds
  at genus or family level  - Mutations are now
  known to never create new DNA, but rather
  cause a loss of genetic information.  - So
  microbes to monkeys to men change is impossible

Science is Limited

• Science cannot be the strongest evidence.
• Hypotheses/theories/laws cannot be proven.
• They can only be supported by tests
• Many are eventually proven false (falsified).

21
Scientific Questions to Answer

• Universe ? Ex Nihilo?, Bara? 0 0 ?
• DNA ? Isnt spontaneous generation wrong?
• New DNA Are mutations a source of new DNA?
• Dysfunction Disorder? Death?
• Earths Age Is there evidence for a young
  earth?
• Global Flood What evidence supports this idea?
• Fossils What produced fossils and rock
  layers?
• Noahs Ark How big was it? What kind of
  animals were taken? How could those animals
  fit?

Micro or Macro Evolution ?

• The word evolution simply means change
• Micro-evolution is TRUE simply means
  horizontal change (adaptation of populations
  through natural selection), with only the sorting
  of already existing genes. This is merely like
  breeding dog types from a wolf.
• Macro-evolution is FALSE assumes vertical
  change beyond the species genus level is
  possible by mutations that created vast amounts
  of new genetic information to make new kinds of
  creatures (microbes to monkeys to man).

24
Two Types of Macro-Evolution Theories

• Gradualism claims genera, classes, phyla, whole
  kingdoms originated through a gradual buildup of
  new genetic information. But mutations dont add
  information, so some evolutionists have invented
  a new theory . . .
• Punctuated Equilibrium claims genera, classes,
  phyla, whole kingdoms arose somehow by rapid
  bursts of new genetic information, with long
  periods of stability (meaning very little change)
  in between these periods of sudden bursts.

25
Biblical vs. Non-biblical Views

• Biblical Creationism six 24-hour days, about
  6,000 years ago, no death before sin, a global
  flood with earthquakes that formed most fossils,
  rock layers, etc. Science and Scripture are in
  harmony. (ICR, CRS, AIG)
• Pseudo-Creationism the six days long
  periods no global flood, death before sin
  (Pseudo false)
• Theistic Evolution - God designed evolutions
  process of death and survival to create man from
  microbes, using mutations and natural selection
  over millions of years.
• Atheistic Evolution - No God is necessary
  (chance)?

Interpretation of Scientific Data(All humans are
biased, even scientists)?
Scientific Data (especially historical sciences)
are always interpreted with a measure of faith.
Evolution is a belief system, not experimental
science.
Creation is a belief system, not experimental
science.

Simple Candle Burning Experiment Questions for
Radiometric Dating

• You observe a candle burning at 1 inch / hour.
• How long has it been burning? How old is it?
• Do you know how tall it was when it started?
• Do you know when it started?
• Can you be certain that no wind increased its
  rate?
• Can you be certain no one stopped restarted it?
• Etc., etc, etc, etc, etc,

103
Dating Methods

• Relative Dating- relies on the Law of
  Superposition. Tries to place geologic events in
  a sequential order
• Absolute Dating- specific dates for rocks
  Radiometric dating- based on natural decay of
  various radioactive elements

104
Radiometric Dating Principles

• Potassium-Argon, Uranium-Lead, C-14 methods
• Parent element (K) decays into daughter element
  (Ar) over time at a known rate
• Rate is called the half-life
• number of years for 1/2 of pure parent to
  become daughter
• Used to hypothesize dates in billions/millions of
  years
• C-14 dating is for young objects only
• Only works for organic materials from once living
  creatures
• Used to date objects less than about 35,000 years
  old
• Can only measure with precision to about six
  half-lives and C-14 half-life is 5,730 years

105
Radiometric Dating Flaws

• Dates depend upon three assumptions
• Rate of decay has been constant
• possibly true
• Amount of daughter element at start is known
• unlikely
• System had no external loss/addition of parent or
  daughter components
• very unlikely over millions of years

106

• Assumptions can be dangerous, especially in
  science. . . . . assumptions often graduate to
  articles of faith religious beliefs, and new
  observations are forced to fit them. Eventually,
  if the volume of troublesome information
  evidence becomes unsustainable, the orthodoxy
  majority belief must collapse. Emphasis in

  biology at the University of Queensland and

107
Dating the Earth

• Many physical processes (not just radioisotope
  measurements) can used be used to date the earth
• All are subject to the same flaws just described
• But most give a young age for the earth
  (compared with 4.6 billion years), for example
• Build up of salt in the ocean 76 million years
• Build up of sediment in the ocean 15 million
  years
• Build up of helium in the atmosphere 1.8
  million years
• Decay of short-period comets 10,000 years
• Influx of radiocarbon to earth 10,000 years
• The majority of the evidence favors a young
  earth, contradicting the time required for
  evolution to take place

The Geologic Column

• The column is not the onion-skin textbooks
  describe
• It rarely exists in entirety in one location
• All types of rocks, minerals, metals are found in
  all ages
• Progression of fossils through the ages
  documents evolution
• But fossils date rocks, yet rocks date fossils
  (evolution assumed)?
• Creation - column is result of world-wide flood
• Sorting action of water (smaller fossils to
  bottom)?
• Ordered destruction of different habitats
• Mobility of life forms (smarter escape longer)?
• Column illustrates a superficially valid
  successional tendency, but it represents a fast
  time sequence, not slow
• Mt. St. Helens has mini Grand-canyon created in
  days
