As Christians, we need to know why we believe what we believe, so when we are witnessing to the unbelieving world we can knowledgeably explain Genesis and the creation story, because the rest of the Bible has its foundation in Genesis. If people don’t understand Creation and the Fall of Man in the garden of Eden, they won’t be able to see their need for a Savior. This presentation will give the viewer some foundational information that he can use in the debate of creation vs. evolution.

1. Let the debate begin…

33. … .. Yet we are here as a result, I believe, of spontaneous generation ... Most modern biologists, having reviewed ..the downfall of the spontaneous generation hypothesis, yet unwilling to accept the alternative belief in special creation (God) , are left with nothing. I think a scientist has no choice but to approach the origin of life through a hypothesis of spontaneous generation .”

34. DNA is required for any life to reproduce

35. Nucleotides = A, C, G, T One HUMAN cell = 1.5 million pages with 2500 letters on each page ……………………. a book 625ft. high Number of cells in human body = 50 trillion Information in human body = 625ft x 50 trillion = A stack of paper 520 trillion miles high Distance from Earth to Pluto = 5 billion miles Stack of paper 100,000x distance between Earth and Pluto

55. "The consensus of the intelligentsia is not necessarily correct, no matter how many believe it, or for how many years the belief is held. It may still be wrong. In fact, it may be very wrong. And we must never forget it. Because it will happen again. And indeed it has.“ Brian P. Levack
