CREATION EVOLUTION If evolution is true, then man is the most evolved “thing” in the universe, and man is “in charge” If the Bible is true (and it is), and man and the universe was created, so God is the creator and therefore the owner of EVERYTHING…including us! That means we need to 1.Find out who God is 2. Find out what He wants 3.Then DO what He says!! Last week we looked at evidence that every planet in our own solar system provides that disproves evolution and billions of years. The density is wrong for some planets. Some planets are spinning the wrong way. Magnetic fields are on some planets that shouldn’t have them and are not on other planets that should have them. Some magnetic fields are way off axis!! The gas giants are too big. Surfaces of some planets should look different than they do. The sun is burning incredible amounts of energy every second… why is the sun still here? The sun is spinning too slow We are loosing the moon and it should be MUCH further away by now (which would end life) The Earth is slowing down and should be MUCH slower by now (which would end life) Short period comets should be long gone, but we still see lots of them. The answer for the comet problem is the Ort Cloud which is PURE SPECULATION… nobody has ever seen it, they just assume it is there!! Some planets material is wrong for their position in our solar system. Science believe a waterless planet has features formed by water, but there could not have been a flood on a planet full of water!! Some very small planets and moons that should be cold are still warm They are cooling and they can’t cool forever!! Some planets and moons that should be hot are stone cold. The evolutionist theory says that the solar system formed billions of years ago from a large swirling, rotating cloud of gas and dust. This theory does NOT hold up, and the answer the evolutionist give most often... So if our own solar system disproves the evolutionary model, how did we get here?? Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Let’s look at some more of the unique designs of our planet (that would be coincidences for evolutionists) … Water… Colorless, odorless, without taste No living thing can live without it 2/3 of you is water! So big deal, we need water and we have it on Earth…. it IS a BIG deal Water… It has an unusually high boiling point and low freezing point which allows us to live in an environment of fluctuating temperatures changes while keeping our bodies at a steady 98.6 degrees Water… 97% of the Earth’s water is in the oceans, but there is some BAD NEWS!!! Even though water is essential to life, ocean water is not drinkable… Water… BUT there is a system designed which removes salt from the water and then distributes that water throughout the globe!! Water… Evaporation takes the ocean water, leaving the salt, and forms clouds which are easily moved by the wind to disperse water over the land for vegetation, animals and people. It is a system of purification and supply that sustains life on this planet, a system of recycled and reused water. Water… Is a universal solvent. This property of water means that thousands of chemicals, minerals and nutrients can be carried throughout our bodies into the smallest blood vessels. Water… Is chemically inert. Without effecting the makeup of the substances it carries, water enables food, medicines and minerals to be absorbed and used by the body. Water… Has a unique surface tension. Water in plants can flow upward against gravity, bringing with it life-giving water and nutrients to the top of even the tallest trees. And the evolutionists will say… so we have life on earth, big deal, it was just an accident!! Isaiah 45:18 The Lord created the heavens. He is the God who formed the earth and made it. He did not want it to be empty, but He wanted life on the earth. This is what the Lord says: "I am the Lord. There is no other God. NCV 1. Cosmic evolution 2. Stellar/planetary evolution 3. Chemical evolution 4. Organic evolution 5. Macro evolution science 6. Micro evolution R E L I G I O U S So we have talked about 1. the origin of the universe and 2. planetary evolution, now we will look at number 3… Chemical evolution. I have asked some questions about the Big Bang like…. Where did the dirt come from How do you pack all the matter of the universe into a singularity Why do some planets rotate backwards, etc., etc. To be fair, evolutionists do have answers to those questions Let’s look at their theory… It is supposed that the universe started as pure energy, not matter. The energy from the big bang cooled down as the universe expanded. Some of the energy turned into matter… hydrogen and helium gas. (this happened in the first few seconds of the big bang) Then over billions of years, these gases, hydrogen and helium, collapsed to form stars and galaxies of stars (no EMPIRICAL evidence as to why or how this could happen) During supernovas, the stars created the heavier elements in their core by fusion and then exploded, distributing these elements into space. Some of the heavier elements that were exploded into space, from supernova's, then began to stick together and formed the earth and other planets. (now there is a RELIGION that would take LOTS of faith… I don’t think I have that much faith!!!) Let’s look at some problems with this theory. Evolutionists say the stars created the heavier elements in their core by fusion. That defies observable scientific data that we have. You can’t use fusion to get anything heavier than iron… where did the heavier elements come from? Evolutionists say the stars Then exploded and sent the heavier elements into space, which then “stuck” together to form planets. All I can say to that is… EMPIRICAL proof please!!! Missing monopoles Magnets have two “poles”—a north pole and a south pole. A “monopole” is a hypothetical (no one has ever found one) massive particle that is just like a magnet but has only one pole. So a monopole would have either a north pole or a south pole, but not both. Particle physicists claim that many magnetic monopoles should have been created in the high temperature conditions of the big bang. Since monopoles should be stable, they should still be here. But monopoles have not been found. The fact that we don’t find any monopoles suggests that the universe never was that hot. This indicates that there never was a big bang. The flatness problem The expansion rate of the universe is very finely balanced; this condition is called “flat.” If the matter density were greater the universe would collapse upon itself , if it were less, the universe would rapidly fly apart. Since any deviation from perfect flatness tends to increase as time moves forward, then the universe must have been even more precisely balanced in the past than it is today. The further you get away from something, the greater the error becomes. If the base of the two legs of the St. Louis Arch would have been off by any more than .003 of an inch, they would not have been able to get the last piece in! So, at the moment of the big bang, the universe would have been infinitely flat (perfect). But the laws of physics allow for an infinite range of values. The Big bang cannot explain this. It is a “coincidence” that just left improbable and hit impossible. Of course, since God created it, “balance” is expected since the Lord has fine-tuned the universe for life. Where is the antimatter? Physics tells us that whenever matter is created from energy, such a reaction also produces antimatter in EXACTLY equal amounts… there are no known exceptions. If it was pure energy in the dot that exploded, not matter, and the matter (hydrogen and helium gas) was created from the energy as the universe expanded, then where is the antimatter? The visible universe is comprised almost entirely of matter…with only trace amounts of antimatter anywhere. This is a devastating problem for the big bang, but no problem for creation. God created the universe to be essentially matter only…and it’s a good thing He did. When matter and antimatter come together, they violently destroy each other. If the universe had equal amounts of matter and antimatter (as the big bang requires), life would not be possible. Missing Population III stars The big bang theory can only account for the existence of the three lightest elements (hydrogen, helium and trace amounts of lithium). So how did we get the other 90 or so naturally occurring elements ?? Even people who believe in the Big Bang will admit the theory does NOT explain how it could happen. Many believe that heavier elements are formed with nuclear fusion during supernovas. (even though this process has never produced anything heavier than iron). The explosion then distributes the heavier elements into space. Second and third generation stars are thus “contaminated” with small amounts of these heavier elements If this story were true, then the first stars would have been comprised of only the three lightest elements (since these would have been the only elements in existence initially). Some of those stars should still be around today. Such stars would be called “Population III” stars. But, they have not been found anywhere. Bottom line is evolution can NOT explain how the naturally occurring elements got here with the exception of hydrogen and helium. (they can theorize how the others got here up to iron, but can’t even theorize past that) With all the problems we have talked about, as well as MANY others too numerous to include, it is not surprising that quite a few secular astronomers are beginning to abandon the big bang. We are going to look at some more proofs that the world CAN’T be billions of years old and some people who helped start this myth. James Hutton 1726-1796 In his book, “Theory of the Earth”, he claimed the Earth was much older than what the Bible said. He used the principle of uniformitarianism which means the present is the key to the past. He said since the earth is changing VERY slowly now, it must have taken millions of years to make it as we see it now. Where is the EMPIRICAL proof of ANYTHING in that!!?? Yes, Hartville’s textbook talks about this! Charles Lyell 1797-1875 Scottish lawyer He wrote a book called “Principles of Geology” Here are quotes from his book… “Men of Superior talent (like him) who thought for themselves and were not blinded by authority” (the Bible) Lyell also said his goal was to “free the science from Moses” Lyell said Niagara Falls must be at least 35,000 years old because of the erosion. (for the first 5,800 years of Earths history, most people thought the Bible was true and the Earth was 6,000 years old. So for him to say the earth was 35,000 years old was scandalous!! ). This was later proven false and proven that he “exaggerated” the facts he got. Actually Niagara Falls is good evidence that the Earth CAN’T be more than about 6,000 years old!! Niagara Falls is receding about 4.7 ft every year. It has moved 7.5 miles from where it started. If it is billions of years old, why is it not all the way back Of course if it is about to Lake Erie? 6,000 years old, it is about where it should be. Here are some more reasons why the earth CAN’T be billions of years old. Oil wells can have up to 20,000 psi! This is much more than the weight of the overlaying rock The pressure should equalize in less than 10,000 years. Sahara desert is expanding. It took about 4000 years to get where it is today. (just about the time from the flood to now!) Why isn’t it bigger?? This is the Methuselah Tree. It is the oldest tree in the world and is estimated to be 4300 years old. During WW2 much of the Great Barrier Reef was destroyed, so it was studied to see how long it would take to grow back. After watching it for 20 years, it was estimated it was less than 4200 years old When it rains about 30% of the water runs directly back into the oceans. When it does this it takes salt with it. The oceans are getting saltier everyday. Today the oceans are 3.6% salt. They would be able to do that in less than 5000 years. Why aren’t the oceans more salty than they are?? Don’t touch the formations, they are MILLIONS of years old!!!! Do cave formations prove the earth is millions of years old?? This formation was started in 1903. This picture was taken in 1987 in a lead mine in Australia. The mine was shut down for 55 years. When they went back in, they found all kinds of HUGE formations just like a cave that is supposedly “millions” of years old!! Two men! Remember in science, empirical evidence is something you can know, test, and reproduce and if you EVER get a different result from your testing, it is NOT empirical fact. Cave formations are NOT proof of millions of years. Rock layers So what about the layers of rock that we see… how do they form?? Let’s look at more of Charles Lyell’s teaching… Lyell is the person credited with discovering the “geologic column”. He stated that the layers of rock that we see were laid down very slowly over millions of years and each layer represents a different time period. This “geologic column” is the evolutionists “bible”. Each layer in the geologic column has an “index fossil” and an age assigned to each layer. The way they know how old the layers of rock are is by what fossils are found in the layer. And the way they know how old the fossils are is by what layer of rock they are found in. This is called “circular reasoning”, and the American Journal of Science even admitted this in their publication…. “The intelligent layman has long suspected circular reasoning in the use of rocks to date the fossils and fossils to date rocks. The geologist has never bothered to think of a good reply, feeling the explanations are not worth the trouble as long as the work brings results.” The same publication also said this… “The rocks do date the fossils, but the fossils date the rocks more accurately.” “80 to 85 percent of Earths surface does not have even 3 geologic layers appearing in correct consecutive order” The “geologic column” can only be found ONE place in the whole world The textbooks!! Is this in Hartville’s textbook??? Let’s see…. “Rock that have no fossils provide little information that could help in subdividing geologic time.” p.367 “Geologists can estimate the ages of rock layers based on the particular index fossils they contain” p.371 “Geologists determine the relative ages of rocks and other structures (fossils) by examining their places in a sequence.” There are layers of rock, we can clearly see that, but are the layers different ages by millions of years?? Next week we are going to look at some reasons why they can’t be and problems with the geologic column. CREATION EVOLUTION
