Notes de l'éditeur
Good Morning!
Today we are going to talk about the foundational issues surrounding both Creation and Evolution
Before we get started, let’s have some inspiring words from an athiest
Thomas Nagel describes himself as a Materialist
Professor of Philosophy and Law at NYU specializing in philosophy of mind, political philosophy and … … ethics
EXPLAINS A LOT ABOUT THE LEGAL ISSUES COMING OUT OF THAT STATE
He says it’s not that he thinks there isn’t a God, He doesn’t want there to be a God!
Aldous Huxley – Darwin’s bulldog on his true motivation to push evolution and millions of years
Again, let’s always remember…
Always be ready to make a defense for the hope that is in you
Be purposeful, conducting yourself with wisdom so you can respond to each person appropriately…
And we need to be loving, not quarrelsome…
Be consistent, prepared to give an answer, do it with respect and love, and do it with the goal, not to be right, but that they might come to Christ.
For your Christians that wan to argue about it…
TURN TO GENESIS 1
Almost every doctrine begins in Genesis….
Remember, Scripture is historical and true
We may never have all the answers this side of eternity, but there is no need to disbelieve
Remember – EITHER GOD DELIBERATELY MISLED US OR HE TOLD US THE TRUTH
Let’s go to Gen 1
The heavens and the earth
CLICK
You go read the article here if you have specific questions.
TURN FIRST TO Luke 12:19 about drinking and gluttony…
(Going to 2 Peter next)
This is why it is important to read things in context
Out of context it looks like binge drinking and gluttony are condoned
In context, God’s saying the prideful rich guy who said this is an idiot!
AND PEOPLE WHO WANT TO BELIEVE MAN’S WORD OVER GODS WORD LOVE TO DO THE SAME THING WITH 2 PETER 3:8
Out of context, that seems like you could apply that to creation – the problem is, it isn’t talking about creation, nor is it defining the word day…
Lets read it in context
OPEN YOUR BIBLES
Abraham is traveling to the Land of Moriah to sacrifice Isaac and on the third day he looks up
Now with that said – let’s read Gen 1:5
HE MADE IT ABUNDANTLY CLEAR
AGAIN - the only time someone argue about the obvious is when we’re wrong
EXODUS VERSE IS COMING AFTER DAY 7!!!!!!!!!!!!
Day 2 (vv. 6-8)
Atmosphere
Oceanic and Subterranean water
Day 3 (vv. 9-13)
Oceans and Dry land
Vegetation, seed-bearing plants, trees that bear fruit
this is a problem for Christians who want to believe evolution because evolution says fruit came after animals
Day 4 (vv. 14-19)
Sun
Moon
Stars and planets – 10 to the 22 Power
Day 5 (vv. 20-23)
Water life
- Sea Monsters = Tannin (H) = Ketos (G)
Everything that Flies
Earth bring forth
Day 6 (vv. 24-31)
Land Animals
Adam
Eve
All Vegetarian (1:29-30)
v.31 - It was “VERY GOOD”
REMEMBER – EVERYBODY ADMITS THAT EXODUS IS HISTORICAL…
For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day.
This is the only commandment where a reason is given
He wrote this in stone so we wouldn’t get it wrong – and we do
SCRIPTURE PREDICTS WHY IT IS AN ISSUE
“All things are continuing as they were from the beginning of creation” – Uniformitarianism – Charles Lyell
They deliberately overlook creation and the flood
Deliberately – greek word thelontas – to want; to desire – it is an active choice
They want to overlook it, it is a deliberate choice.
I don’t want there to be a God because it frees me for my own sexual and political persuits
They desire it because it means they have to answer to Him
(the word deluge is the greek word kataklyzo where we get the word cataclysm)
My Literal Translation:
V5 - They desire this to be unknown, that the heavens existed long ago and likewise the earth from water and by water came into existence by the word of the one God,
V6 – by whom, the world at that time, water cataclysmically flooded and was utterly destroyed.
Athiests that wanted us to come from nothing coined the phrase “Spontaneous Generation”
Put a pair of dirty underwear in a pot and you get rats…
Proven false by Louis Pasteur in 1859 – the same year Darwin published “Origin of the Species”
This became a big problem for evolutionists
SO- in 1870, “Darwin’s bulldog” Aldus Huxley came up with the term….
There are things that you have been taught that has been done by slight of hand – not because your teachers were dishonest, but its what was in the textbook
We are going to look at some of the foundational research that evolutionists base their assumptions on
Most of you have probably heard this before…
In 1953, Stanley Miller did an experiment where he ran a spark through the gasses present on primitive earth and made amino acids thereby proving that the “building blocks” of life could happen from nothing.
In 1958, Sydney Fox published his experiment where he heated those amino acids, much like they would be in the primative earth, which then combined to formed polymers which he called proteinoids that formed cell structures which he labeled protocells (now called protobionts) which resembled bacteria
ANYBODY REMEMBER THAT?
I ACTUALLY READ THE EXPERIMENTS
1- What he did was, He pulled a vacuum on the system, boiled the water and the vapor was run through a spark “lightning”…
How long does lighting last for? Experiment was run for a week
2- It then combined with the starting gasses were assumed based on the fact that they are the only ones that would work
3- Closed system that in no way resembles earth (no oxygen could be there or it wouldn’t work)
It required a designer
Let’s talk more about those amino acids…
More than 500 AA
22 used in life, 21 in humans
Only 5 of the simplest AA formed in the experiment
(Recently a guy named Johnson re-analysed the contents and have found others, but in extremely small amounts)
OK – but he made AA. There is still a big problem with….
Called enantiomers
All non-biological processes produce both 50:50 (mix is called racemic)
How much AA were there?...
(When you pass polarized light through a solution containing an isomer, it will change its polarization slightly, either to the left or to the right, depending on which version of the isomer is in solution. If polarization changes to the LEFT, it is a LEVO isomer; if it changes to the RIGHT, it is a DEXTRO isomer.DEXTRO-: Prefix derived from the Latin dexter meaning "on the right side."LEVO-: Prefix derived from the Latin "laevus" meaning "on the left side.“)
Conc. too dilute, even if only L hand versions, which they were not
Later Johnson reanalyzed the samples and found more AA, but it only added .5%
OK – so if 2% were AA, what made up the rest of the stuff in the trap?...
Stanley called them contaminants - what were those?
We found out later they were…
Many of chemicals found in the trap are deleterious to life
They tried to spin that years later saying that those make great molecules to build “precusors of life” from, but in reality they only bring death.
Had to be in place because if it had re-entered the system, the products would be destroyed
After actually looking at the experiment – there is no way this would work in the real world, that is why they had to use the trap
In fact I found a great quote that agrees with me on this point…
Johnson was the guy who reanalyzed the samples of the Miller/Urey experiments in his article in Science
So Sydney Fox took the results of the Miller/Urey experiment and made proteins right??
WRONG
Fox melted some AA at 338F for 4 hours…
How long does it take to cook a chicken fried steak??? Less than 4 hrs
It was done under a layer of oil and CO2 because water would enter the reaction and break down the peptides
If you fried a chicken fried steak for four hours what would you pan look like? You would have to scrub that thing like crazy!
Turns out, so did He - “Vigorously rubbed” and turned it into a “granular precipitate” (that’s exactly what you would have to do with your pan)
CLICK
Fox thought that if Miller could make AA in his experiments, then he could make peptides – but he didn’t use (and no one else has since either) the vast majority of toxic products
Bear no Resemblance to anything in Miller’s experiments!!!
FLASHBACK
Show slide from Miller – Remember this???
Glycine is by far the most abundant AA in all OOL research
Did they use Glycine???
The hazardous byproducts weren’t used and never are because they screw up the chemistry
Solution contained only PURE AMINO ACIDS – can only be done in a lab and cannot exist in nature
Still Racemic – 50:50 L:D
ASP and GLU used because they react with Dicarboxylic AA easily
If heated more than 6 hours, everything is destroyed
Where on primordial earth is this going to happen???
10 microns = 10 micrometers = .01mm
The microspheres contained in aqueous suspension between microscope slides can be easily redissolved by merely warming the slide
Said to divide – so do soap bubbles
Cell membranes aren't protein – they're made of fat – phospholipid bilayer
Lots of things make microspheres
Explosives, used in pharmacology
Just globules of protein suspended in water
Cell membranes aren't protein – they’re made of fat – phospholipid bilayer
Just globules of protein suspended in water
Cell membranes aren't protein – they’re made of fat – phospholipid bilayer
So why are these experiments held in high regard
They don’t want there to be a God.
They start with the assumption that there is no God because that would mean that they have someone to answer to
Christians try to justify believing in both without knowing the contradictions….
Christians foolishly say the Bible describes evolution, obviously without ever reading what God says about it
Speaking of the Man of Lawlessness and judging nations in the End times
I believe that delusion is evolution and millions of years
That is exactly what Chuck Psarris found out
V25: exchanged the truth for a lie
WHAT IS THE LIE? REMEMBER 2 Cor 11:3
But I am afraid as the serpent deceived Eve, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ
Interesting that the same things he says will happen to those under judgment are the very things happening in our country today
We need to change this with our children
In 1859 Darwin Published his book on the theory of evolution
And all these scientists came out against it:
Agassiz, Pasteur, Lord Kelvin, Maxwell, Dawson, Virchow, Fabre, Fleming – ALL STRONG OPPONENTS TO DARWINISM
Remember Bill Nye saying that kids who don’t believe in evolution will never amount to anything?
These are fathers of their respective scientific fields – all creationists – and they did pretty well for themselves
…CLICK I’m going to pull out two
Fleming was actually the first president of the “British Evolution Protest Movement” and wrote a book titled “Evolution or Creation?” in which he pointed at the absurdity of organic evolution
William Thomson (Lord Kelvin) was responsible for correctly relating molecular motion to temperature – kind of a big deal
He had this to say….
You won’t read that in your science books…
Remember the motive of the atheist
They deliberately overlook creation and the flood
Ultimately what you choose to believe is up to you
Position of Chief priests was originally handed down… Sold by Romans
Even so, God still spoke to Caiaphas
Caiaphas was told by God what would happen with Jesus, and in spite of his own eternal spiritual peril, chose to reject Him as Messiah to protect his earthly riches
We all have a choice to believe God’s truth or man’s truth
(the position of high priest was traditionally a life long job, handed down to those in a family, but the Romans made it available to the highest bidder because of the trade that would happen in the temple courts and on the temple mount)
