The Book of Genesis
Creationism v Evolution
Genesis 1:1
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Or in the Beginning life just happened by accident from nothing. One theory says that you were created by a loving Creator who made you to have a life with meaning and purpose. The other theory says that you are just an accident and you don’t matter. Today evolution is taught in our public schools as though it were fact, when in fact it is not even provable. Creationism is looked upon ad fantasy brought forward by religious fanatics.
It is a mistake for Christians to compromise in the area of Creation v Evolution. Even worse is to ignore it an pretend that it doesn’t matter. Our nation was founded on Creation principles and it was taught in every school. Today evolution is taught in nearly every school, it dominates in the opinions of the media and every public institution. If you believe in Creationism, you are viewed as a right wing religious fanatic. The teaching of evolution has spread secular humanism faster than any other method that is used.
First of all, Evolution is not science, it is really Philosophy or Religion. Evolutionist admit that no one has ever observed real evolution ever take place. (one creature evolving to a more complex creature) Many thousands of animals have become extinct in the last few thousand years but not one new animal has evolved. Evolutionists believe that this process of evolving took place millions of years ago and cannot be observed today. Unfortunately, none of these theories can be tested or proven, that is why evolution is not science, it is theory.
In reality, Evolution must be believed, because it cannot be proven by any means. For this reason evolution is more a form of religion than it is science. In order for something to be science it must be able to be observed and tested
Creation says that the Heavens and the earth were created all at once by God. The six days detailed in Genesis chapter 1, seem to be speaking of a bringing back to life on the earth that was formerly lying in a state of suspense. In each of the six days of creation detailed in Genesis one, the Hebrew word used for “Create” is not “Bara”, to create from Nothing, it is “Asah”, to form from existing materials. It is not until we get to the 5th day of creation where the sea creatures are made that the Holy Spirit uses the Hebrew world “Bara”. Apparently the sea creatures were killed in destruction of the earth that happened in Genesis 1:2.
In the 5th day the Lord “Bara” Created a whole new set of sea creatures.
Genesis 1:1 says that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…” How long ago that was we do not know. The earth appears to be Millions of years old. It could have been created 10,000 years ago by God to look millions of years old or it could have been created millions of years ago, then lie in a state of suspended animation for time unknown.
There is an indeterminate period of time between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2 that no one knows how long this period of time was. In Genesis 1:2, the earth “Became without form and void”. When this happened and for how long it lasted before God brought the earth out of it’s deep freeze, and “Asah” created it again, no one knows. What is certain, from the account of Genesis, we know that man has been on the earth for about 6,000 years. It is also certain that God created everything that exists, more specifically, Jesus was the active agent that spoke the universe into existence.
Colossians 1:16
For by Jesus all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.
Most evolutionary biochemists believe that the first living cell evolved from a non living set of chemicals in a sort of primeval soup about 3 billion years ago. There is another Evolutionary theory that says that life evolved from clay minerals in the primeval land. The order of Evolution and Creation are much different from each other. Evolutionist have the sea animals appear before reptiles and birds.
Genesis dispels the theory that one lower animal can evolve into a higher animal form:
Genesis 1:24
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so.
Charles Darwin, the founder of the theory of Evolution, was disturbed by the lack of transitional species that could be found in the fossil record. In Darwin;s own words:
“But as by this theory innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth?”
If one species were capable of evolving into another species, we would expect to find in the fossil record of the earth, “Transitional Species”. An animal in a transition of developing from one species to another. We might expect to find an reptile with a partially formed feather. A creature with part of an eye that did not yet work. Even though millions of fossils have been found since Darwin’s time, we still have not found a single species in a transition from one species to another. In fact the fossil record shows the opposite, bodies of animals that are fully formed, with not a single animal in any transitional form.
We can breed into plants and animals changes within their species, but there are no plants becoming animals, no fish becoming birds, etc.
How much time would be necessary for a single celled creature with 100,000 pairs of DNA, to evolve into a human being with 3.2 billion pairs of DNA?
Evolutionist constituently ignore the mathematical possibilities of Evolution. What is the Mathematical probability that a single cell could evolve into a human being with 3.2 billion pairs of DNA? The laws of probability are a calculation of the odds of random occurrences of an event or series of events could happen.
The chances of you dying from a heart attack today is 3 in 106
The chances of you dying in a car accident today is 1 in 106.
Sir Frederick Hoyle calculated that the likelihood that a single celled creature could evolve into a human being with 3.2 billion pairs of DNA, to be 10 with 40,000 zeros behind it. (1040000)
Mathematicians have already calculated that any number greater than 1050 , that is a 10 with 50 zeros behind it, is beyond the possibility of chance, that it must have occurred supernaturally, in other words, some intelligence is behind it. This means that the likelihood that a single celled creature could evolve into a multi celled creature like a human being, to be beyond the possibility of chance, in other words, it is mathematically impossible. It is much more likely and mathematically probable that someone created this man with 3.3 billion pairs of DNA.
The most recent discoveries in the field of genetics has shown that the information coded in a human strand of DNA is DIGITAL INFORMATION.
The DNA helix that has the coded information for who you are, measures 80 billionths of an inch wide. Yet, On that DNA strand is coded information that would fill 10,000 Books with 1,000 pages in each book. All of that within just 80 billionth of an inch. Did you know that this information that is encoded into your DNA strand is Digital Information? Here is what is amazing: Digital information cannot exist by randomness or chance. Digital information speaks of an intelligence that encoded the digital data.
Recent discoveries in The microscopic world of the cell have revealed that it is impossible that a basic bacteria could have evolved: There is an amazing little motor inside every bacteria that causes that bacteria to be able to move.
Now, remember that the size of this bacteria we are talking about is just 40 Nanometers wide by 60 Nanometers high. A Nanometer is 1 Billionth of a meter. The Motor that propels the arms of the Bacteria, has the same kinds of parts in it that you find in machines that human being have built.
The motor of the bacteria has “O Rings” between the inner and outer Membranes of the Bacteria. It has a tiny “Drive Shaft” that propels the Arms of the Bacteria. The Bacteria has a “Stator”, which is a Motor or generator around which the Drive shaft rotates. Science has confirmed that there is no possible way that evolution could ever have produced the components of this motor.
The reason: Take just one component out of this motor and it doesn’t work. Evolution is the process of trial and error over the span of Billions of years. In this motor, If you didn’t have all of the parts together at once, it could not work. Therefore bacteria could not exist, therefore life could not exist.
(In her review of Darwin’s Black Box by Michael Behe (See Darwin’s Black Box), Dr. Millen, described the tiny, amazing motor which powers the flagella of bacteria for movement)
It is not even in the realm of possibility that these motors could have developed by the random chance that Evolution calls for.
The Evolutionist problem with “Chirality”
Most people who believe in Evolution, hold that the very first cell of life was a simple Bacterium. The Bacterium Cells that we know and study today have about 128 million base pairs of DNA. Scientist have found ancient fossils of Bacteria that have only 500,000 base pairs of DNA. It is speculated that it may have been possible for the earliest bacteria to have survived with as little as 100,000 base pairs of DNA. Even allowing for the simplest of the first bacteria, they would require at least 10,000 amino acids with at least 100 functional protein chains, with themselves holding a few hundred amino acids.
These minimum numbers are important because of a principle called “Chirality”. In the construction of DNA or RNA, their chains have a certain orientation for their amino acids. All Amino Acids are “Left Handed”. All Proteins are “Right Handed”. If these amino acids or proteins are not constructed properly, they fail. This means that for the first bacterium to be able to exist and function, The amino acids and proteins had to be on the correct orientation of the chain, (left of right side)
When we study nature, however, we find that all amino acids occur randomly in equal proportions of right and left handed mixture. Even after many years of study in this area, scientists have not been able to change this equal mixing of right and left handed amino acids that naturally occur. For the very first simple bacterium to have been able to exist, all of the thousands of amino acids in the hundred plus proteins, would have to be in the exact placement on the chain.
All amino Acids would have to orient themselves “Left Handed”. All Proteins would have to orient themselves “Right Handed”. This means that all 100,000 proteins would have to be Right handed, or the cell would not function.
This would be like flipping a coin 100,000 times and getting all heads, every time. All 10,000 Amino Acids would have to be Left Handed, or they would not function. This would be like flipping a coin 10,000 times and getting “Tails” every time. If even one protein or one amino acid is on the wrong side of the chain, the cell will not function.
The problem is that Mathematically speaking, the odds of flipping a coin 110,000 times and getting all heads or all tails is staggering. ½ X ½ 110,000 times is 1 in 10 33,333. Scientist have agreed that any probability beyond 10 50 is considered Mathematically Impossible.
To give you an idea how large the number 10 33,333 is: The odds of winning 4,700 state lotteries in a row, all at the same time, with a single ticket is just about 10 33,333 . Or count all of the Atoms in 400 universes like the one we live in, and you get the number 10 33,333
Listen to what Evolutionist themselves are saying about the problem of Chirality:
“A recent world conference on The Origin of Homochirality and Life made it clear that the origin of this handedness is a complete mystery to evolutionists”. J Cohen, “Getting All Turned Around over the origins of Life on Earth”, Science, Volume 267 (1995), pp 1265-1266 as citied in Jonathan Sfarti, “Oragin of Life: the Chirality Problem, Answers inGenesis Website.
The bottom line is that Evolution is not science, it is not provable, it is not even scientifically or mathematically possible. There is no proof of evolution in the geologic fossil record, it cannot be seen in any transitional species today, and when we try to calculate the amount of time that evolution would take for a single celled creature to evolve into a human being, there is not enough time in all of time for this to happen.
It is Impossible. In other words, it takes more faith to believe in evolution that is does to believe that
“In the beginning, God Created the heavens and the earth…”
