8. Religion vs. Science Some think that there’s a division between true religion and true science.Some think that there’s a division between true religion and true science. –Go hand in hand –Only false science contradict true religion –Only false religion contradict true science

9. Creation exist therefore there must be a Creator (Gen 1:1) “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”(Gen 1:1) “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” The Bible offers the only explanation of the beginning of the universe – Where everything came from.The Bible offers the only explanation of the beginning of the universe – Where everything came from.

10. “Big bang refers to the most widely held scientific theory of the origin of the universe. According to this theory, the universe began with a hot, explosive event-a "big bang"-about 10 billion to 20 billion years ago. At the beginning of the event, all the matter that existed was much smaller than the nucleus of an atom. Matter then expanded rapidly and is still expanding. British cosmologist Fred Hoyle originated the term big bang in 1950.” (World Book Deluxe 2004)“Big bang refers to the most widely held scientific theory of the origin of the universe.

11. “…all the matter that existed…” Doesn’t tell were all came from!Doesn’t tell were all came from! –Single ball of matter existed before the ‘Big Bang’ Where did the single ball of matter come from?Where did the single ball of matter come from?

12. Theory of Evolution They teach that all life came from one single cell organism.They teach that all life came from one single cell organism. –Where did the single cell organism come from? –Where did it get life? –Impossible for man to take organic material and create life! Yet, they want us to believe their word and believe in chance occurrences over intelligent design.

13. “All life comes from life. The biologist cannot admit spontaneous generation in the face of the scientific evidence he has.” (Jordan and Kellogg, Evolution and Animal Life, p. 41)“All life comes from life. The biologist cannot admit spontaneous generation in the face of the scientific evidence he has.” (Jordan and Kellogg, Evolution and Animal Life, p. 41) The Bible starts with a self-existent, everlasting being, God.The Bible starts with a self-existent, everlasting being, God. Theory of Evolution – Chance occurrences with NO explanation of ORIGIN.Theory of Evolution – Chance occurrences with NO explanation of ORIGIN.

14. Sound Logic Something cannot come from nothing.Something cannot come from nothing. Something is. (exists)Something is. (exists) Therefore, something always was.Therefore, something always was. God

15. True Science disproves Theory of Evolution 1 st Law of Thermodynamics1 st Law of Thermodynamics –“The first law states that energy in a system, which may be anything from a simple object to a complex machine, cannot be created or destroyed. Instead, energy is either converted from one form into another or transferred from one system to another.” (World Book 2004 Deluxe)

16. 1 st Law of Thermodynamics Energy cannot be created or destroyedEnergy cannot be created or destroyed –Proven science The universe couldn’t have created itself.The universe couldn’t have created itself. It must have been created in the pastIt must have been created in the past –No further creating is occurring –No loss of creation is occurring God created energy through miraculous creationGod created energy through miraculous creation –No other way for energy to be created

17. 1 st Law of Thermodynamics Proves the Bible to be right. The Bible is the only religious book that correctly portrays the 1 st Law by:The Bible is the only religious book that correctly portrays the 1 st Law by: –Having a Creator that is no longer creating –Having a Creator who is “upholding all things by the word of his power.” (Heb 1:3)

18. True Science disproves Theory of Evolution Law of KindLaw of Kind –Kind reproduces it’s own kind Animal produces AnimalAnimal produces Animal Canine produces CanineCanine produces Canine Dog produces DogDog produces Dog Plant produces PlantPlant produces Plant Tree produces TreeTree produces Tree Oak produces OakOak produces Oak Evolution goes against this fundamental scientific fact

19. Gen 1:21-25 “And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.” –Written by a Prophet of God not a scientist

20. If Man evolved from a one cell organism, where are all the innumerable transitional forms that would obviously exist?

21. Astronomy gives evidence to God and His Word False science at one time taught that the earth was flat and was held up by some type of foundationFalse science at one time taught that the earth was flat and was held up by some type of foundation –Modern science, for the most part, attributes this false idea to religion. False religion? – maybeFalse religion? – maybe God’s Word? – NOGod’s Word? – NO

22. Astronomy gives evidence to God and His Word (Job 26:7) “He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.” (Isa 40:22) “It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth…” –Bible teaches of a spherical Earth in a vacuum of space

23. Astronomy gives evidence to God and His Word No better description of the earth in relation to space –Up till the last century scientist believed that space was filled with a substance they called ether. (not the chemical) Job said through inspiration that it was empty and nothing. We see today that space is a vacuum of nothing. How could Job know this through natural means? How could he posses such knowledge?

24. Archaeology confirms the Bible in history (Ex 1:11) “Therefore they did set over them taskmasters to afflict them with their burdens.

25. The way the Bible came together accounts for its Divine origin Wrote by about 40 writersWrote by about 40 writers –Moses in Genesis to John on Patmos –Kings to Fishermen –Different Cultures In FreedomIn Freedom In BondageIn Bondage Wrote in 3 languagesWrote in 3 languages –Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek

26. The way the Bible came together accounts for its Divine origin Combined together to form one complete BookCombined together to form one complete Book –One focal point – Jesus Christ Man couldn’t have created such a bookMan couldn’t have created such a book –Man can barely be consistent with himself much less 40 men centuries apart.

27. Conclusion Evidence proves the existence of GodEvidence proves the existence of God –Simple fact that we are here testifies to God The Fool says there is no God!The Fool says there is no God! False Science Hides the truthFalse Science Hides the truth –Evolution – explains nothing about origin True Science Proves True ReligionTrue Science Proves True Religion His word is the BibleHis word is the Bible –The focus is on Jesus Christ, His Son.
