4. if the world were a village of 100 people, 67 would be far from God and facing a Christless Existence

7. Evolution? Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich: “Change in living things over time”. -or- A Theory by which nature continually improves itself through gradual, and accidental (mutational) development. -or- the IMAGINARY process by which nature developed and develops in complexity.

8. Surprised? It may surprise you to know that not all scientists are atheists. It may really surprise you to know that not all scientists are evolutionists! It may surprise you even more to know that not even all evolutionists believe in Evolution!

9. “There is no encompassing theory of [human] evolution…there never really has been”. -F. Clark Howell, Evolutionary Biologist

11. “Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this perhaps, is the most obvious and serious objection which can be argued against [my] theory…” -Charles Darwin, The Origin of the Species

12. Geologic Column

13. “The evolutionary trees that adorn our text books have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils.” -Stephen Jay Gould, Harvard University

14. “The ‘fact of evolution’ is the backbone of biology, and biology is thus in the peculiar position of being a science founded on an unproved theory-is it then a science or a faith?” -L. Harrison Matthews, Intro to Darwin’s The Origin of Species Hebrews 11:1 “Now Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”

15. “When it comes to the origin of life on this earth, there are only two possibilities: Creation or Spontaneous Generation (evolution). There is no third way. Spontaneous Generation was disproved 100 years ago, but that leads us only to one other conclusion: that of supernatural creation. We cannot accept that on philosophical grounds; therefore, we choose to believe the impossible: that life arose spontaneously by chance.” -Dr. George Wald, winner of the 1967 Nobel Peace Prize in Science.

16. “I suppose the reason why we leapt at the Origin of Species (Darwin’s Theories and work) was that the idea of God interfered with our sexual mores” – Huxley

17. “To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to different distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for the correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest possible degree…The belief that an organ as perfect as the eye could have formed by natural selection is more than enough to stagger anyone.” Charles Darwin

18. “Scientists who go about teaching that evolution is a fact of life are great con men, and the story they are telling may be the greatest hoax ever. In explaining evolution, we do not have one iota of fact.... It is a tangled mishmash of guessing games and figure jaggling...” -Theodore Tahmisian, nuclear physicist, Atomic Energy Commission

19. Hoyle and Wickramasinghe: “Once we see, however, that the probability of life originating at random is so utterly minuscule as to make the random concept absurd, it becomes sensible to think that the favorable properties of physics on which life depends, are in every respect deliberate…. It is therefore almost inevitable that our own measure of intelligence must reflect in a valid way the higher intelligences…even to the extreme idealized limit of God.”

20. Which Came First? John Horgan – Scientific American:

21. “Evolution is unproved and unprovable. We believe it only because the only alternative is special creation, and that is unthinkable.” – Sir Arthur Keith

22. } Everywhere We Look DESIGN

23. Bombardier Beetle = Design

24. Sea Slug VS Sea Anemone = Design

26. Flight? = DESIGN “Convergence”

27. Cleaning Symbiosis = Design

28. Reproduction = Design

30. 2 Corinthians 4:4,6 4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the GOSPEL of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

32. 2 Corinthians 4:4,6 4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the GOSPEL of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 6 For God, who said, “LET LIGHT SHINE out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

33. SO WHAT? The same God who spoke Heavens and Earth into existence…who brought light out of darkness, wants to bring light into our world and hearts of darkness.

34. SO WHAT? TODAY: we have shined light in some dark places. MY HOPE: Is that we have done what Jesus asked PAUL to do: “ TO OPEN EYES, so that [you] may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that [you] may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in [Jesus].’ -ACTS 26:18

35. NOW WHAT? God wants to make YOU a New Creation. Romans 1:20 NASB “ For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.”
