3. Science vs. Religion?
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

4. To Begin the Discussion …
In 1903, a British philosopher, Herbert Spencer, made a profound scientific statement: “Everything in the universe can be explained by five basic things - space, matter, time, force, and action.”
Spencer, an evolutionist, was a contemporary of Charles Darwin, the British scientist credited with popularizing the concept of evolution. He (Spencer) was given a prestigious award by the British Science Society at the time. This was considered to be a major contribution to science. And it is, until you realize that …
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

5. What Does The 1st Bible Verse Say?
Moses, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, wrote in Gen. 1:1: “In the beginning (time) God (force) created (action) the heavens (space) and the earth (matter).”
What makes this even more remarkable is the fact that Moses was educated in the tradition of the Egyptians. They believed that only the ocean existed at first. An egg/flower appeared and the sun god was born. The sun god had four children, of whom one was Geb (the earth). They believed that the earth was a flat disk afloat on the river of the ocean. None of this mythology of the time was included in the book of Genesis.
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

6. Some Common Misconceptions
Skeptics and unbelievers think:
“The Bible is an antiquated religious book, filled with scientific fallacies and mistakes reflecting the naïve cosmology of the primitive tribes of the Near East.”
Even some professing Christians think:
“The Bible is a book of true religion dealing solely with spiritual subjects and that, where it seems to touch on matters of science and history, it must be interpreted spiritually or allegorically, rather than literally.
Evolution is Science
Creation is Religion
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

7. Conflict Between Worldviews
Conflict between two worldviews
Not between Science and Religion
Between Naturalism and Supernaturalism
God & science are not alternative explanations for reality
Christianity has intellectual power
Science is a weapon in a larger cultural war
The question – is Christianity true?
Not – is it helpful?
Does science fit into this?
Does “what you believe to be true” match reality?
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

8. The Arguments Separate because: [Materialist View]
Science is based on evidence
Faith where there is no evidence
Rational vs. irrational
Science deals with reality; Faith everything else
Not separate because: [Christian View]
God created the universe & the laws of nature
Laws of nature make science possible
Science and Faith/Christianity are complementary
Science flourished because of Christianity
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

9. Assumptions and the Search for Truth
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

10. How Our Thought System Works
Assumptions (held by faith)
DATA
Conclusions
Logical thought is the means by which we draw conclusions
from the facts/data after starting with certain assumptions.

14. The Bible And Creation @ Dr. Heinz Lycklama Creation Apologetics

15. Record of Creation (Gen. 1-11)
Creation Apologetics
Record of Creation (Gen. 1-11)
Four major worldwide events have produced the world as we know it today:
Six days of special creation and formation of all things [Gen. 1], the completion and permanence of which are now manifest in the Law of Conservation of Energy (the First Law of Thermodynamics): Gen. 2:1, “… were finished.”
The rebellion of man and resultant curse of God on all man’s dominion [Gen. 3], manifest in the Law of Increasing Entropy [disorder] (the Second Law of Thermodynamics)
Worldwide Flood in the days of Noah [Gen. 6-8], leaving the world largely under the domain of natural uniformity
Tower of Babel [Gen. 11], resulting in the confusion of languages and the dispersion of people over all the earth
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

16. Creation of Distinct Kinds
Creation Apologetics
Creation of Distinct Kinds
Gen. 1: 11(1), 12(2), 21(2), 24(2), 25(3)
Ten major categories of organic life created “after its kind”
Plant kingdom - grass, herbs, fruit trees
Animal kingdom - sea monsters, other marine animals, birds, beasts, cattle, crawling animals
Man “kind”
One kind cannot transform itself into another kind
Definite and distinct categories
There is variation within a kind
These “kinds” are still recognized today
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

17. Creation Apologetics
Created in Six Days
Gen. 2:1, “Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished. And on the seventh day God ended His work which He had done, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had done.”
Ex. 20:11, “For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, all that is in them, and rested the seventh day.”
Ex. 31:17, “… for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day …”
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

18. The Biblical Flood The destruction of the earth:
Gen. 2:5, no rain before the flood
Gen. 6:13, “... I am about to destroy them with the earth.”
Gen. 7:11, fountains of the deep
Gen. 7:12, forty day downpour
Job 12:15, waters overturned the earth
30 references to “global” nature of flood in Gen. 6-9
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

19. OT References to Creation
Creation Apologetics
OT References to Creation
Ex. 31:17 (Moses) “It is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever, for in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth …” - six-day literal creation
Josh. 24:2-4 (Joshua) “ … your fathers, including Terah, the father of Abraham and the father of Nahor, …” - accepts Gen. 11 account of Abraham’s ancestors
II Kings 19:15 (Hezekiah) “You have made heaven and earth.” - speaks of creation
1 Chron. 1:1-28 “Adam, Seth, Enoch, …” - repeats genealogies of Gen. 5, 10, 11

20. Creation Apologetics
Christ Refers to Gen. 1-11
Matt. 19:4-5 “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said ‘for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh.”
Doctrine of marriage refers to first two chapters of Genesis, Gen. 1:27 and Gen. 2:24
Mark 10:6 – “But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female …”
Mark 13:19 - beginning of creation which God created
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

21. Creation Apologetics
Jesus Is The Creator
John 1:3 – “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.”
Col. 1:16,17 – “… All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.”
Eph. 3:9 – “… hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ.”
Heb. 1:1-3 – “… through whom also He made the worlds.”
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

22. NT Writers’ References to Gen. 1-11
Rom. 5:12-19, “ … through one man sin entered into the world, and death …”
Rom. 8: effects of great curse on the earth
1 Cor. 11: relationship between man, woman, creation and God
1 Cor. 15:21-22 – “as in Adam all die”
1 Cor. 15:45-46 – “the first man Adam became a living being” – reference to Gen. 2:7
2 Cor. 11:3 – “as the serpent deceived Eve”
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

23. NT References to the Flood
Testimony of Christ and the NT writers
Matt. 24:37, the days of Noah like those when Christ comes
Matt. 24:39, the Flood took them all away
Luke 17:26-27, the flood came and destroyed them all
1 Pet. 3:20; 2 Pet. 2:4-5; 3:5-6, the world at that time was destroyed, i.e. global Flood
Heb. 11:7, he condemned the world
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

24. Creation Apologetics
NT References to Gen. 1-11
Every NT writer refers to the early chapters of Genesis
Jesus Christ referred to each of the first seven chapters of Genesis
Almost all NT books have references to Gen. 1-11, especially Gen. 1-2
Every chapter of Genesis 1-11 except Gen. 8 is referred to somewhere in NT
Every NT writer accepted these early chapters as historically accurate
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

25. Removing Genesis 1-11 Removes true history
Creation Apologetics
Removing Genesis 1-11
Removes true history
Removes the foundation from all future history
Rejects the teachings of Peter, Paul, other Biblical writers, Christ Himself
Eventually leads to apostasy
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

26. Creation is an essential truth spoken of in the Bible
Creation Apologetics
Conclusion
Creation is an essential truth spoken of in the Bible
Col. 2:8 “See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.”

27. Science and Origin Models
Creation Apologetics
Science and Origin Models
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

28. What Is Science? “Science is the search for truth”
Creation Apologetics
What Is Science?
“Science is the search for truth”
“Operational” Science
Postulate theory -> make observations -> prove/falsify theory
Using the Scientific Method
“Origins” Science
Were you there at the beginning?
Model of Creation
Model of Evolution
Which model fits the observed facts best?
“Forensic” science
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

29. The Scientific Method Define the problem
What do you want to know? (e.g. “Does music affect how plants grow?”)
Gather information on the subject
Formulate a hypothesis
Devise a way to test the hypothesis
Observe the results of your test
Report the results so others can repeat the test
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

30. Theory Criteria
To apply scientific methodology, the theory must meet these criteria:
Must be falsifiable or verifiable
Must make quantifiable predictions
Experimental results must be repeatable
Must be as simplistic as possible with no unnecessary components (Occam’s Razor)
Adherence to the methodology allows for self-correction and increases confidence in the assumptions made by scientific philosophy
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

31. Dealing With Origins Science
“Science is the search for truth”
Fact, law, theory, hypothesis, or model?
Fact – proven to be true
Law – no known exception
Theory – testable, falsifiable, based on empirical findings
Hypothesis – provisionally explains some facts
Model – simplified representation of reality
Which is Evolution? Creation?
A Model – let’s see why …
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

32. Origins Can’t Be Tested or Proved
Creation cannot be “proved”
Not taking place now
Not accessible to scientific proof
Can’t devise experiment to describe creation process
Evolution cannot be “proved”
If it is taking place, operates too slowly to measure
Transmutation would take millions of years
The scientific method cannot be used to measure it
Small variations in organisms (observed today) are not relevant
Can’t be used to distinguish between Creation & Evolution
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

33. Scientific “Proofs” of Origin
What we can test scientifically
Observable/repeatable processes
Trends/tendencies in nature
Processes/events that left evidence
What we cannot test scientifically
Identity/motivation of who/whatever brought the universe and life into existence
Historical events
Morality
Meaning
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

34. Present + Repeatable + Observable = SCIENCE
Past + Non-Repeatable + Eyewitness Account = HISTORY
Past + Non-Repeatable + No Eyewitnesses = BELIEF
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

35. Origins Models & Belief Systems
Naturalism(Materialism) -> (Macro)Evolution Model
Laws of nature can account for the origin of the universe & life on earth without the need for a Creator
Supernaturalism -> Creation Model
An intelligent being (God) created the universe & life on earth out of nothing
Variations of “Creation” model
Theistic Evolution
God could have used Evolution
Progressive Creation
God intervened with new creations (e.g. man) over time
Day-Age Theory
Gap Theory
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

36. Assumptions and Model of Evolution
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

37. The Meaning of Evolution
Artificial Selection
Plant and animal breeding
Change
Evolution of a coastline (random)
Evolution of a car (designed)
Micro-Evolution
Small variation within prescribed limits of complexity
e.g., finch beaks by mutation and natural selection
Macro-Evolution
Particles -> people
Molecular Evolution
Origin of life – assumes a mutating replicator
Only 1, 2 and 3
have been observed
4 never observed!
5 is impossible!
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

38. Model of Evolution (Assumptions)
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

39. Model of Evolution (Assumptions)
Claims about living organisms:
Related through common ancestry
Arose through mutations and natural selection
By means of random chance processes of nature
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

40. Model of Evolution (Assumptions)
Non-living things gave rise to living matter, i.e. spontaneous generation occurred once
Viruses, bacteria, plants and animals are related
Protozoa (single-celled life forms) gave rise to metazoa (multiple-celled life forms)
Various invertebrate phyla are interrelated
The invertebrates gave rise to vertebrates
Within the vertebrates the fish gave rise to amphibia, the amphibia to reptiles, and the reptiles to birds and animals
Man evolved from ape-like ancestor
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

41. The Mechanism Of Evolution
Darwin was not the first to propose evolution, Lamarck and others had done it before him
Darwin’s real contribution was a credible(?) mechanism for evolution - Natural Selection
Natural selection is based on two points:
The reproductive capacity of organisms exceeds the carrying capacity of the environment
Variation in organisms makes survival a non-random event - some variants are more likely to survive in a given environment
Of the excess products of organisms reproductive capacity the most fit survive - Survival of the fittest
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

42. Evolutionary “Tree” All life came from one simple cell
Evolutionary “Tree of Life”
Initial Disorganization with later increase in complexity and unlimited diversification
Not just change, but change in the direction of increasing complexity
T I M E
Evolutionary “Tree” All life came from one simple cell
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

43. The Evolutionary View of History
Most recent "big bang“ ~15 billion years ago
Our Solar System, 5 billion years ago
Single-celled organisms, billion years ago
Multi-celled organisms, 1 billion years ago
Humankind, million years ago
Modern Civilization, thousand years ago
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

44. Assumptions and Model of Creation
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

45. Model of Creation (Assumptions)
The Bible is the inerrant Word of God
God is Creator
Six days of Creation – Gen. 1:1 – 2:3; Ex. 20:11
Creatures created/reproduce after their kind – Gen. 1 (10 x)
Man is created
In God’s image – Gen. 1:26-27
Creation is dependent on God
Man is fallen and dependent on God
Creation and Science must be coherent and consistent
God reveals Himself in Scripture (Special Revelation)
God reveals Himself in nature (General Revelation)
Jesus and NT authors refer to Gen as history
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

46. Scientific Creationism
God created everything in 6 days
Space, matter, time
Distinct “kinds” of living organisms
Man in the image of God
Fall of man and the resulting curse
1st and 2nd Laws of Thermodynamics
The Flood was global
Scientific evidence for Creation
Design, order, natural laws
The Anthropic Principle
Catastrophism
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

47. All life came from multiple complex ancestors.
Creationist “Forest of Life” (Kinds)
Initial Complexity with later deterioration and diversification within limits
T I M E
Creationist “Forest”
All life came from multiple complex ancestors.
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

48. Ages of the Cosmos According to the Bible:
Creation of primeval earth – Gen. 1:1,31 [conservation of mass/energy]
Curse imposed on earth – Gen. 3:17 [increased disorder or entropy]
Catastrophic destruction of earth – Gen. 6:5 [worldwide flood]
Catastrophic reconstruction of “good” earth – Rev. 20:2 [millennium]
Curse removed from earth – Rev. 21:1 [new (renewed) earth]
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

49. Origins: Evolution Or Creation?
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

50. Models of Origins We can neither observe nor repeat “origins”
Origins “theories” cannot be tested or proven
We have two models (not theories) of origins
Creation and Evolution
Models can be compared as to their respective capacities for correlating observable data
Evolutionists regard Evolution as “a proven fact”
They believe that Evolutionism is science and that Creationism is religion
Evolutionists are unable to prove Evolution
Thousands of scientists believe in Creation
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

51. Two Models of Origins Evolution Model Creation Model Naturalistic
Supernaturalistic
Self-contained
Externally directed
Non-purposive
Purposive
Directional (increasing complexity)
Directional (decreasing order)
Irreversible
Universal
Uniformitarianism (the present is the key to the past)
Completed, Catastrophism
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

52. Which Model Best Fits The Facts?
Creation and Evolution are the only two models of origins
Both models should be considered as equal alternatives and evaluated objectively in terms of their relative abilities to correlate and explain scientific data
The model that incorporates the most data and has the smallest number of unresolved issues is the most likely to be true
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

53. Looking at the Scientific Evidence
Origin of matter, energy and natural law
Classification of biological organisms
Mutations and natural selection
Origin of man
Origin of life (probability)
The fossil record
Origin of the solar system and planets
Teleology – evidence for design
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

54. What About Evolution?
A valid scientific hypothesis must be capable of being formulated experimentally, such that the experimental results either confirm or reject its validity
No way to do this to find “the answer” for origins
Dr. Heribert-Nilsson, Director of the Botanical Institute at Lund University, Sweden, concluded:
“My attempt to demonstrate evolution by an experiment carried on for more than 40 years has completely failed. The idea of evolution rests on pure belief.”
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

55. Origins and Meaning
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

56. Why Does It Matter If We Were Created Or If We Evolved?
Why am I here?
Where am I going?
How did I get here?
Who am I?
Meaning of anything is tied up with its origin:
Human Origin – humans decide the meaning
Divine Origin – God decides the meaning
Unknown Origin – unknown meaning
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

57. Origins Found in Genesis 1-11
Heavenly Bodies
The Earth
Animal / Plant Life
Human Life
Law
Marriage
Sex
Roles in the Family
Childbearing
Sin (need for Salvation)
Forgiveness
God as Provider of the Sacrifice

58. The Impact of Evolution
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

59. Creation Apologetics
Setting The Stage
Atheists/Evolutionists say “evolution is a fact, not a theory.”
Atheists say man is the result of a purposeless and natural process (without him in mind).
Atheists say science is the basic source of knowledge.
The evils of evolution result from the rejection of God as Creator.

60. A War of Worldviews! Evolution vs. Creation NOT Science vs. Religion
But
A War of Worldviews!
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

61. The Pervasive Influence
“A person’s philosophy of origins will inevitably determine … what he believes concerning his destiny, and even what he believes about the meaning and purpose of his life and actions right now …” Morris (Creationist)
“Evolution has an impact on every aspect of man’s thinking: his philosophy, his metaphysics, his ethics …” Ernst Mayr (Evolutionist)
“Evolutionary theory has been enshrined as the centerpiece of our educational system, and elaborate walls have been erected around it to protect it from unnecessary abuse.” Jeremy Rifkin (Evolutionist)
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

62. Evolution Is At The Foundation
"Evolution is at the foundation of communism, fascism, Freudianism, social darwinism, behaviorism, Kinseyism, materialism, atheism, and in the religious world, modernism and neo-orthodoxy"
-Henry Morris 1963, Genesis Flood p. 24
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

63. Quote From Secular Historian
Humanist philosopher and historian Will Durant admitted:
“By offering evolution in place of God as a cause of history, Darwin removed the theological basis of the moral code of Christendom. And the moral code that has no fear of God is very shaky. That’s the condition we are in I don’t think man is capable yet of managing social order and individual decency without fear of some supernatural being overlooking him and able to punish him.”

69. The Influence of Evolution
Creation Apologetics
The Influence of Evolution
One’s view of evolution DOES matter, as evidenced by the last 150 years
Evolution is more than a biological or geological hypothesis
Evolution is a world view!
A person’s philosophy of origins will inevitably determine:
His beliefs concerning his destiny
His beliefs concerning the meaning and purpose of his life
His actions in the present world
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

70. The Impact of Evolution
Creation Apologetics
The Impact of Evolution
Evolution is imposed on every area of our lives
Church, theistic evolution, culture
Morally, socially, mentally
Evolution provides an “apparent” way for a man to escape his responsibility to God
No judge before whom we must all appear
Man is responsible only to himself
Whatever helps evolution helps society
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

71. Results of Evolutionary Thought
Cheapening of human life
Abortion, Euthanasia
Unwarranted elevation of animal life
Animals should have human rights
Overly zealous ecology movement
Relativistic thinking
Movement away from law based on Biblical concepts to popular will
“Change” is the norm
When the distinction between humans and animals becomes blurred it leads to both the cheapening of human life and the elevation of animal life. According to the Bible man was a separate creation from the animals, even though God used the same “body plan” for both. But if evolution is true, then man is just a slightly higher animal, not fundamentally different as the Bible teaches. The Bible does teach that we are to take care of the earth and to treat animals appropriately.
A basic idea behind evolutionary thinking is that continuous change is what is normal and expected. This ends up manifesting itself in such things as relativistic morality (there is no absolute right and wrong), and even in our judicial system where law is seen as something that needs to change to reflect shifts in popular will.
@ Dr. Heinz Lycklama

72. Abortion and Evolution
Creation Apologetics
Abortion and Evolution
Embryo in womb goes through “stages of evolution” – called “embryonic recapitulation” by Ernst Haeckel,
Women undergoing abortion are told that the embryo is only in the early stages of evolution (fish or animal)
Late term abortions -> Infanticide -> euthanasia?
