The Word of God

Over time, the domino's continue to fall on the evolutionary model -- as anything that sets itself up against the Word of God is destined to fail. By looking at the genealogies from Adam until Jesus Christ, we can see that God created the earth about 6,000 years ago, which is in stark contrast to an evolutionists claim that says the earth has been here for BILLIONS of years.  Here are some inconvenient truths concerning the theory of evolution and an old earth:

LACK OF TRANSITIONAL FOSSILS: 

The late Stephen J. Gould, the prominent American paleontologist and evolutionary biologist from Harvard, said "the extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontologists." "We view our data as so bad that we never see the very process we profess to study."

Since there are many different life forms today (humans, dogs, birds, ants, fish, etc.) that all supposedly came from the same natural source (some sort of life form coming up out of a lake or swamp), and now with many millions of fossils that have been found all across our planet--why haven't any fossils been produced that show one life form transitioning into another (i.e., a dinosaur transitioning into a bird, a reptile to a mammal, or an ape into a man, etc.). What are the odds of that if evolutionary theory is true? 

Thus, the evolutionary community is desperate to find this (transitional forms), as can be seen from the many claims they have made, that later on have proven false or even fraudulent: 

1. “Neanderthal man”, supposedly the missing link between apes and men, turned out to be an old man that suffered from arthritis. 

2. “Java Man”, another Neanderthal supposed to be the missing link, was found out later to have a human legbone and teeth, and the skullcap was from a monkey. Another skull cap was found about the same time -- then the following year, the Smithsonian Institute published a retraction that it was actually the kneecap of an elephant. 

3. “Piltdown man” was a jawbone, teeth and part skull found in 1912, but in 1953 it was found to be a fraud. The skull fossil was human and the jawbone from an ape. The teeth were filed down and treated chemically by evolutionists in an effort to support their theory. 

4. “Nebraska Man”, In 1922, evolutionists drew two transitional Neanderthals, based on a single tooth that was later found to be from a wild pig. 

5. “Orce man” was a partial skull found in Spain in the 1980’s. This one turned out to be from a donkey. 

See the following link for additional examples, such as Rhodesian man, Heidelberg man, Flipper man, Handy man, Peking man and Cro-Magnon man: https://apologeticspress.org/video/sve-session-vi-do-fossils-prove-evolution-video-5586/ 

Lord Solly Zuckerman, Zoologist, Anatomist and British Scientific advisor and professor at Oxford University, after 15 years of study, said “If man did descend from an apelike ancestor, he did so without leaving any fossil traces of the steps of the transformation”. 

To say the very least -- the lack of transitional fossils and missing links in any and every life form, renders the entire evolutionary theory as highly suspect.

WHERE DID LIFE ORIGINATE? 

Evolutionists themselves, commenting on the origins of life, from 100 years ago up until the 21st Century: 

• Dr. Edwin Grant Conklin, co-editor of the Journal of Morphology, the Biological Bulletin, and the Journal of Experimental Zoology, President of the American Society of Naturalists in 1912 and President of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1936 : “The probability of life originating by accident is comparable to the probability of the unabridged dictionary originating from an explosion in a print shop.”
• Robert Millikan, Nobel laureate in physics from 1923, believer in evolution and science and religion, said: “The pathetic thing is that we have scientists who are trying to prove evolution, which no scientist can ever prove”.
• Dr. Nils Heribert-Nilsson, was a noted Swedish Geneticist and Professor of Botany at the University of Lund in Sweden, founder of an evolutionary hypothesis called “Emication”, wrote: “My attempts to demonstrate Evolution by an experiment carried on for more than 40 years have completely failed. At least, I should hardly be accused of having started from a preconceived antievolutionary standpoint. . .It may be firmly maintained that it is not even possible to make a caricature of an evolution out of paleo-biological facts. The fossil material is now so complete that it has been possible to construct new classes, and the lack of transitional series cannot be explained as being due to the scarcity of material. The deficiencies are real, they will never be filled.” - Synthetische Artbildung, Verlag CWK Gleerup, Lund, Sweden, 1953, pp.1185 and 1212
• Evolutionist and Novel Prize winner in 1967, George Wald of Harvard University, said: “When it comes to the origin of life, we have only two possibilities as to how life arose. One is spontaneous generation arising to evolution; the other is a supernatural creative act of God. There is no third possibility… Spontaneous generation was scientifically disproved one hundred years ago by Louis Pasteur, Spellanzani, Reddy and others. That leads us scientifically to only one possible conclusion – that life arose as a supernatural creative act of God… I will not accept that philosophically because I do not want to believe in God. Therefore I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible, spontaneous generation leading to evolution.” (Scientific American, August 1954)
• Dr. G. A Kerkut Dept of Physiology and Biochemistry at University of South Hampton in England, wrote a book in 1960 called “The Implications of Evolution”, he said: “….there is the theory that all of the living forms in the world have arisen from a single source which itself came from an inorganic form. This theory can be called the “General Theory of Evolution” and the evidence that supports it is not sufficiently strong to allow us to consider it as anything more than a working hypothesis.”
• British Astronomer Sir Fred Hoyle, who coined the term “Big Bang” and who did not believe in God but thought the universe was god itself, said in 1981: “The chance that higher life forms might have emerged through evolutionary processes is comparable with the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junk yard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the material therein.”
• Chandra Wickramasinghe, said: “Contrary to the popular notion that only creationism relies on the supernatural, evolution must as well, since the probabilities of random formation of life are so tiny as to require a ‘miracle’ for spontaneous generation tantamount to a theological argument.”
• Boyce Rensberger, an ardent anti-creationist science writer, said in his book “How the World Works”, 1986, pp. 17-18: “The fact is that scientists are not really as objective and dispassionate in their work as they would like you to think. Most scientists first get their ideas about how the world works not through rigorously logical processes but through hunches and wild guesses. As individuals they often come to believe something to be true long before they assemble the hard evidence that will convince somebody else that it is. Motivated by faith in his own ideas and a desire for acceptance by his peers, a scientist will labor for years knowing in his heart that his theory is correct but devising experiment after experiment whose results he hopes will support his position.”
• Robert Hazen, in a lecture series from Origens of Life, 2005, said “any scientific attempt to understand life’s origin is doomed to failure; such a succession could not be duplicated in a program of lab experiments.”
• Evolutionist Paul Davies, Cosmologist, Astrobiologist, and Professor at Arizona State University, writing in the New Scientist from Nov. 15, 2006, said: “One of the great outstanding scientific mysteries is the origin of life. How did it happen? … The truth is, nobody has a clue.”

CARBON 14 DATING

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWxgSGE3rWU

.....is based on assumptions and can be very inaccurate -- if living or newly dead specimens are so wildly inaccurate, how can we believe supposed results from millions and billions of years ago?

1. A freshly killed seal was carbon dated as having died 1300 years ago (Antarctic Journal, Vol. 6; Sept-Oct 1971, p. 211)

2. Shells from living snails dated as 27,000 years old (Science, Vol. 224, 1984; Pg. 58-61)

3. Living penguins dated 8,000 years old

4. "One part of Dima [a baby frozen mammoth] was 40,000, another part was 26,000 and the 'wood immediately around the carcass' was 9-10,000."

Carbon dating is similar to a situation where someone walks into a room with a burning candle, and the question is asked: "when was the candle lit?" And since that person wasn't there at the time, all they can do is guess.

--if the height of the candle while burning is measured, would this tell when it was lit?

--if the rate at which it burned was measured, would this tell when it was lit? 

No, neither can give an answer, because the original length of the candle is the necessary and missing component.

This is similar to finding a dead animal that contains carbon-- the amount of carbon 14 in the body at the time it is tested and the rate of decay can both be measured, but to determine when the animal died is the same situation as trying to determine the original length of the candle -- it is based on guesswork and assumptions.

 A FEW COMMENTS ABOUT AN OLD EARTH 

Mount St. Helens: 

This volcano erupted in 1980, with 33,000 times the strength of the atom bomb that destroyed Hiroshima -- which would be equivalent to dropping one of these bombs every second for 9 hours. Consider some of the findings from this event: 

1. As the bark from the uprooted trees was covered by sediment and settled below a lake at the base of the mountain – five years later, a three foot thick layer of peat was found that was compositionally the same as coal in the Eastern US. https://answersingenesis.org/geology/four-lessons-mount-st-helens-eruption/ 

--This coal took less than 40 years to form, yet, most of “science” claims that coal takes millions of years to form: https://www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/Elem_Coal_Studyguide.pdf 

     --As a subpoint concerning the formation of coal, the Argonne National Laboratory used wood heated to 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 9 months and it formed black coal. Coal does not take millions of years to form. 

2. Sedimentary rock layer formed in hours, when we’ve been told it takes millions of years (consider concrete we use countless times every day -- showing rock can form rapidly when the conditions are right.) 

3. The Tapeats Sandstone in the Grand Canyon, has many of the sedimentary features found at Mount St. Helens (Dr. Steve Austin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4vK6NaSLBg) 

--When looking at an aerial view of the Grand Canyon, is seems obvious that a global flood is its cause -- the Flood at the time of Noah.

RAPID ROCK OR FOSSIL FORMATION:

https://answersingenesis.org/fossils/how-are-fossils-formed/do-fossils-show-signs-of-rapid-burial/ 

How quickly does a rock form, and how long does it take for some form of life to turn into a fossil? The evolutionary community dismisses the idea of a global flood (Noah’s flood, as spelled out in the Bible), and works on a hypothesis that the earth has been here for billions of years, saying the rock layers and fossils bear that out. Here are a few things to consider: 

• Most fossils are of marine invertebrates, especially shellfish -- a clam for instance, has millions or perhaps billions of fossil remains. Clam fossils are usually found jammed together in the same spaces, which is not how they live in their life spheres today. They were apparently overwhelmed by a large surge of water (a flood) and were buried, unable to extricate themselves from the sediments around them, they then died and were fossilized. This is evidence of something happening quickly, not over millions and billions of years.
• Fish -- there is at least one fossil of a fish eating another fish, and there is another fossil of an ichthyosaur (now extinct) in the process of giving birth. How long does it take for a fish to eat or to give birth?
• Large jellyfish graveyards have been found; because a jellyfish is mostly made up of water, when they get out onto the beach, they quickly dry up and die, and before long there is nothing left to look at. How could the evolutionary theory of millions of years work with such a fossil as a jellyfish?
• Rock doesn’t bend, but at the bottom of the Grand Canyon in the Tapeats Sandstone, there is a 90 degree fold in the rock with no break or fracture, other than drying which is to be expected. This is good evidence of wet and pliable sedimentary rock, kinked into place during a drying out process, which couldn’t happen over millions of years, but is evidence of rapid rock formation as the sediments solidified. Bent rock formations can also be found at Monument Fold in the Grand Canyon, as well as in the Appalachian mountain range.
• Rock was laid down in hours at Mount St. Helens.
• A clock was found embedded in rock in 1975 in Westport Washington.
• A hat left in an abandoned mine, found 50 years later, had turned into stone.
