Excerpt
With dozens of books and videos available on both creation and evolution why do we need another one? This book presents no new information. It is different in that it attempts to clearly identify the underlying problems facing the creationists and in the conclusion to offer some hopeful suggestions.
There are two mutually exclusive world views of origins, creation or evolution. A God centered creation as clearly described in Genesis or an atheist viewpoint that believes everything originated by natural means. "Natural" means no miracles or input by God.
There is no attempt to portray both sides as equally honorable or, in reality, just searching for the truth. On the contrary hard core evolutionists, that are really controlling the issue, reveal neither honor nor integrity. Their intentional frauds and deceptions are clearly revealed in later chapters.
This is admittedly a hard core support for Christianity and the Bible, as it is written, including a six day creation. The only way one can legitimately question creation is to deny God's ability to perform a miracle. By turning our scientific community into an atheist based science the evolutionists have succeeded in forcing Christians out of the educational and public arena and back into their churches. Some of them compromising their principles on the way. Hopefully this book will help to renew all Christian's faith in God's word and cause secular humanists to consider the lack of science to support their viewpoints..
This book identifies and discusses the single most important issue, the great difference between microevolution
and macroevolution and how the evolutionists falsely use evidence for one in an attempt to support the other.
It should be clarified from the start that the politically correct concept that creation is religion while evolution is science is wrong. Both views of our origins are based on religious beliefs of historic happenings. Logic should make it clear that we cannot prove creation, or if life started from nothing, or if the Universe started from a cosmic egg billions of years ago. But what we can do is look at the present scientific evidence and determine which religious belief is best supported by that evidence. It should also be obvious that one or the other must be true. Either there is a God or there is not.
Basic hard core evolutionists deny any possibility of a God and are clearly, and admittedly, atheists. There are many Christians that profess a faith in God and the Bible but still accept some degree of evolution. Some believe in the Big Bang and evolution, but believe God caused it all. Some believe in millions of years for each day of creation. Some believe an ancient world existed before Genesis 1 and that explains all the fossils. Comments in the Scoffield study Bible, copyright in 1909, support the ancient life forms belief. William Jennings Bryan, the well known Christian politician, three times Democratic candidate for president, Secretary of State under President Woodrow Wilson, and prosecuting attorney in the Scope's trial accepted the ancient age of the earth. For those who have accepted some of the evolutionists beliefs as facts and are still trying to retain their belief that the Bible is God's word, I would hope this book would give them information to renew their faith in the Biblical account of creation.
Children are pre-conditioned from the start in believing that evolution is science and creation is religion. But of course evolution is not science and neither is creation. They are both beliefs of how everything started and progressed to our present life forms.
Evolution is basically a change over time. With life forms it is a change in the gene pool of a population over time. A gene is a hereditary unit that can be passed on unaltered for many generations. Microevolution is a minor change within the same species due to differing combinations of existing genetic information but involving no new genetic information. Macroevolution is a change in the gene pool that results in a new species involving new genetic information that was not present in either parent. This is the kind of evolution that would be necessary for Darwinian amoeba to man evolution to have taken place. Macroevolution is nothing more than a belief by those who, for one reason or another, chose to reject creation. Macroevolution has never been proven and has no scientific evidence to show it is even possible. In fact, Chapter 5, "Intelligent Design and Irreducible Complexity," pretty much destroys any possibility of macroevolution.
To assume that a dog with four legs is related to a fish with four bottom fins, or similar comparison is certainly not science. It is not even a theory, it is merely a belief. Macroevolution then is truly nothing more than a belief.
The most important organization in the United States that denies creation and perpetuates the fraud of evolution is the National Academy of Sciences. This is not an idle or unsubstantiated accusation but will be shown to be conclusive and in fact a smoking gun to destroy evolution's arguments.
Continuing its pre-conceived atheist bias, the age of the universe, the stars, geological record and other concepts are discussed in a National Academy of Sciences booklet as if they give a factual basis for a godless evolution. If God created the universe, the world and Adam and Eve, he would have had to create them with an apparent age. While even some Christians seem skeptical on this point they might ask themselves to visualize how Adam could have been created without an apparent age. It can't be done. If God created the stars for light at night, he would have had to create the light from the stars as well.
For those that are still skeptical an interesting exercise would be to consider what a modern day doctor would have determined had he examined Adam the day after God created him. He would probably swear Adam was a full grown adult male and never would admit the possibility he was created the day before. Now take the modern day scientists that claim the earth and universe are billions of years old based on their scientific evidence. Are they any different from the doctor that might have examined Adam? Christianity has to be accepted by faith. But it is a faith backed up by scientific evidence.
Faced with several smoking guns showing macroevolution is absolutely impossible, the evolutionists still want to talk about ancient bones, or homology, or the age of the earth, or what the map looked like in Columbus' day, or creation is religion, or winged dinosaurs, or DNA similarities. They just don't get it and they won't as long as their foundation is atheism.
