2. My conclusions When Jesus says “God is spirit,” it doesn’t mean a vapor or something formless When God shows himself to people, he resembles a man in many ways When the Bible says we’re created in the image of God, I believe part of the image is a physical resemblance

3. 3. Creatio ex nihilo (creation out of nothing) 4. His word, he spoke 5. a. To display his power b. To display his wisdom c. For his pleasure d. To have people to love

4. Genesis 1 order Vs. 9-19 – earth on day 3, sun/stars day 4 Vs. 1-10 – earth initially covered w/ water Vs. 11-19 – plants on day 3, sun on day 4 Vs. 20-25 – birds on day 5, land animals day 6 Vs. 20-25 – sea creatures day 5, land day 6 Vs. 24-31 – people on day 6 w/ land creatures

10. b. Every time – “evening and morning, the (number) day.” Do Psalm 90:4 and 2 Peter 3:8 apply to Genesis 1? Logical fallacy of false analogy? Why not apply them to other days? In English we call these similes! c. Work week would be nonsense if God created over vast periods of time.

11. A God who would create using the evolutionary process is either… Not loving, or Incompetent

34. Probability of 8 letters making a certain word  2 letters – 676 possibilities  3 = 17,576  4 = 456,976  5 = 11,881,376  6 = 309 million  7 = 8 billion  8 = 209 billion  8326 8 letter words in the English language

35. Amino acids to proteins  20 aa that make proteins  2 = 400 combinations, 3 = 800, etc.  Smaller proteins 150 aa long  20 to the 150 th power = 10 to the 195 th  Account for ratio of functional proteins  10 to the 74th

36. Chances of randomly forming a functional 150 aa protein  10 to the 74 th, but…  They need a peptide bond (50/50 chance)  2 to the 150 th (10 to the 45 th )  They all need to be “left handed” (50/50)  2 to the 150 th (10 to the 45 th )  10 74 x 10 45 x 10 45 = 10 164  10 80 atoms in the known universe  10 16 seconds since the big bang (of 14 B years)

37. “So there’s still a chance?”  Bigger problem still – origin of information  DNA is more efficient than computer code  DNA doesn’t just store information, but has an operating system to go with it

38. Information  How do we recognize information? Paigrxsy bmuq vc lza yfhsdo ij waeokt. Jackdaws love my big sphinx of quartz.  A specific sequence that has a function according to a known language.

39. Charles Lyell’s method  Used by Darwin  “Principles in Geology: Being an attempt to explain the former changes of the Earth’s surface by reference to causes now in operation.”  What causes now in operation best explain information?
