1. “Origins”, A Study on Creation
Things we will discuss inlude -
3 approaches to the origin of life
2 types of science
Satans 2 pronged “scientific” attack on Christianity
Uniformatarianism
Evolution
Fossils
Dinosaurs
Some specially “designed” creatures
Entropy
Radio-isotope Dating methods
Symbionic life
Pre and Post Flood Environments
Life Spans of Biblical men

2. Three Approaches to Creation
Literal Biblical Creation
God always existed and has a plan
God created all matter & energy and life in a literal 6 days
Genesis is Literal,
Earth is <10,000 years old
Mainstream Science
Matter & Energy always existed in a state of change
Life developed on its own (Evolution)
Earth is Billions of years old
Things happened long ago as they do today
Non-Literal (Figurative) Creation or Theistic Evolution
God always existed
God Created Energy & Matter (Big Bang)
God used (or allowed) the Evolution Process to develop life

3. Life is Eternal and
God makes the Rules
Life is Temporary so
man can make his own
Rules
Life is Evolutionary so
God wants man to make
the Rules

5. Satan’s Two Pronged Attack
Uniform-i-tarian-ism - (Lyell)
The earth changes slowly and gradually
and has always done so at the rates we see
it change today.
Evolution - (Darwin)
Complex life forms evolved from simpler life
forms by natural selection and random
mutation. Liiving organsims developed from
non-living chemicals by natural processes
and random chance.

6. Number Sense - The Odds
Chance of Mutation in DNA Today = 1 in (10,000,000)
2 Related Mutations = 1 in 1014
4 Related Mutations = 1 in 1028
Mutation Based Evolution of the Horse 1 in 10 3,000,000
HOWEVER
- The Number of Particle interactions in 5 Billion Years
is only about therefore -
The Odds are Ridiclulous Against Mutation Based Evolution

7. The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics says NO!
Entropy
Definition: Entropy - Degree of Disorganization
2nd Law of Thermodynamics
“ in the absence of the application of energy,
intelligently applied, everything runs down
toward dis-array ”
- Concentrations of energy (heat) are lost
- Complexity Decreases
- Order Decreases
- Information is lost
Could the complex protien chains of life (DNA) have
formed by themselves from simple carbon molecules ?
The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics says NO!

8. Entopy (con’t) We see the effects of Entropy everyday - - In Your Body
If you don’t feed it the right stuff, it dies and looses its
complex organization (“returns to dust”)
- In Your Home
- Without the A/C on everthing comes to the same temperature.
- Things left alone deteriorate (like your room!)
We also know that energy applied indescriminately almost always destroys organization ( Fires, Bombs, Earthquakes, etc)
Is the universe complex, Yes. Do energy concentrations exist, Yes.
What is the obvious conclusion ? It all just happened? NO
Creative Intelligence Exists!

9. Complexity over Time Man
Science says “Complexity and Organization has increased over time”
Man
Animals
NOT OBSERVED
Plants
Protiens
Molecules
Time
Creation
The Bible says “Complexity and Organization has decreased over time”
Loss of abilities
OBSERVED
Fall
Loss of species
Flood
Loss of Longevity
Sin
Time

10. Biblical “Pre-Flood” Earth
- Less harmful radiation reaches the surface
- More Ozone above / less on the surface
Canopy of “Waters” Above
(possibly ice)
Single Land Mass
Single Sea
- Uniform Temperate Climate - Dew not Rain (possibly within 4o C)
- Giganticism in Plant and Animal Life
- No Animal Food Chain - Plants are the only Food Source
- Longevity of Man averages 900 years

11. Post Flood Earth Canopy is gone Land Mass is Divided
- More harmful UV radiation at the surface
- Less Ozone above / more on the surface
- Colder Ocean / Less O2
Canopy is gone
Land Mass is Divided
A Tougher World - Large Temperature variations / Storms / Wind
Longevity of Man (and probably animals) is 10% of what it was
Extinctions of larger species
Animal Food Chain is needed

12. Lifespans of Early Men
1000
900
800
700

500
400
300
200

Shape of this curve is significant
in science today. It is a classic
“ transient decay “ curve.

C12
- C12 and C14 exist in the environment
- Animal consumes C12 and C14
- Animal dies
- C12 stays C12 but C14 decays to C12
- Amount of C14 will be less due to radioactive decay
- C12 to C14 amounts are compared
- if we know how much C14 was present when the
animal died, we can tell how long he has been dead

14. the big “IF” The “Clock” is Faulty
How much C14 was there when the animal died?
Assumptions made when the geologic column was made -
- C12 and C14 were at equilibrium (stable ratio that exists today)
- C12 and C14 were evenly mixed in the environment
But -
- C12 and C14 are not at equilibrium today C14 ratio is increasing
- C14 rate of decay today is only 70% the rate of C14 formation .
- This was published in 1958 but no one re-wrote the text books!
- people began using circular logic
Today C14 is considered invalid beyond 5000 years

15. The “Clock” is Circular
Rock Layers
Life Forms
Rocks are dated by geologists
based on what fossils they contain
BAD LOGIC
Fossils are dated by paleontologists
based on what rock layers they are
found in

16. The “Bombadier” Beetle was “Engineered”
- 2 volitale & corrosive chemicals
- Inhibitor protien
- catalyst
- Hi temp combustion chamber
Degree reaction
Other Amazingly well “Engineered” life
forms and Symbionic relationships.
- Woodpecker
- WomBat
- Angler Fish
- Yucca Moth
It doesn’t work at all until it all works !

17. Why You Can’t Mix Creation and Evolution
Bible teaches Death entered the world with Adams Sin
Evolution assumes death always existed
Gen 1: No animal food chain prior to the Flood (Gen 9:3)
1 Cor 15:21 .. Death came through man
Rom 8:21 .. the whole of creation (not just man!)
Bible says Adam “Fell” and things decayed, (not got better)
God Finished creation and it was Good!
Gen 3: God cursed all
Acts 3:21 .. God will restore the perfection
All Key Doctrines of the Bible are founded in Genesis
Mans Sin nature and the Need for Christ
God’s nature / God’s Plan / Concept of Atonement
More than 100 New Testament quotations from Genesis
Genesis reads like literal history
Real people , real places, real events

18. You Can’t Mix Creation and Evolution (cont’)
“Days” can’t be millions of years
Adam created on the 6th day (lived 6th and 7th)
“day” used in Gen x as related to nights, seasons and years
“each after it’s kind”
Genesis chapter 1 clearly teachs reproduction by “kind” or species
Evolution requires 1 kind can change into another.
Pre-Flood men were not “primitive simpletons”
Adam was created “perfect” and “named” all creatures
Decendants worked with musical instruments (Gen 4)
Longevity is not consistent with Evolution
Evolution and Genesis have different basic sequences
Trees before sea life
Earth before sun
a Sun is not needed for the “new earth” in Revelation
Why not believe Gods Word, He was there, Darwin wasn’t.
