FEATURE STORY
EVOLUTION
Based on Fact or Faith?

We were taught in our classrooms that all life forms including humans were spawns of a random selection from one single sort of protocell. Somehow this cell (for no apparent reason) replicated and mutated (evolved) into more complex life forms into a variety of several species: bacteria, plants and vegetation, fish, reptiles, dinosaurs, apes, and eventually human beings.

For decades and even over a century since the theory was promoted by Charles Darwin in the 1850's scientists have been studying the theory for one iota of evidence that it was a possibility. The problem has been and always will be evidence of transition from one species to another. The search continues for the “missing link” that evidences the dramatic change from cell to plant to animal to human.

Fatal Flaws

The first fatal flaw to this idea is that if these chemicals could violate the laws of science, such as the law of mass action, and form a protocell then all you would have is non living chemicals joined together and not life forms.

Another fatal flaw is each new and more advanced life form would require new genetic information and the proposed mutations and natural selection can not produce it. The only explanation is that each of the basic kinds of plants and animals had the information placed in them when they were made.

The laws of nature alone do not allow for an atmosphere that would be needed for the process of Evolution to actually have happened. A whole set of changed laws of nature would need to be accepted, never able to be proven with scientific means because they are untestable.

In order for Evolution to be possible, the atmosphere that naturally occurs would need to have been altered to allow the chemical change required. The oxygen naturally present would destroy these first chemicals. So Evolutionists claim that an oxygen free atmosphere occurred. But if this happened, there would be no ozone layer which would allow UV rays in, and these rays would destroy these first chemicals also. More than just wishful thinking is required.

Laws of Thermodynamics

Given the basic laws of thermodynamics, Evolution is an impossibility. The first law states: “energy cannot be created or destroyed; rather, the amount of energy lost in a steady state process cannot be greater than the amount of energy gained.” The second law states that while quantity remains the same (First Law), the quality of matter/energy deteriorates gradually over time. In other words, the universe does not wind up to order but winds down and decreases towards becoming chaotic. Simply put, you can't get order out of a chaotic system. The laws of the universe had to be created orderly, then decrease, not the other way around.

Pour salt into a pepper container and shake it vigorously so all the grains are mixed. No matter how many years you spend shaking it up, the pepper will not separate from the salt again.

Attempts in Search of the Missing Link

Those seeking proof of a missing link sought out to find support for the claims of Darwin and others. In their search they often found pieces of bone that they could piece together to present such evidences. In the late 1800's skull pieces were found that were dubbed “Java Man.” Later bones were used to dub the “Peking Man.” Then was “Piltdown Man” and the “Nebraska Man.” Don't forget the great find called “Lucy.”

The problem with these finds was that the bones were found sometimes several miles away and fit with other bones to assume a skeleton. Some examples are pieces of skull of one type joined with a piece of skull found in a region 60 miles away fit together because the pieces were somewhat similar in missing fragments. Regardless they were different sizes and shapes, the enthusiastic paleontologist would join pieces in some rigid way to create a skeleton of a new hybrid species to support a possible missing link.

The Piltdown Man was found out to be nothing more than an ape's tooth placed inside that of a human to claim the missing link. In the case of the Nebraska Man, a tooth was found that was hyped to be called the missing link. When other bones were dug up, it was found that the teeth were common and nothing more than a variety of pig. It would be like trying to take pieces from different puzzles and forcing them together to create a different picture. Lucy was pieced together with bones found in the area to make it fit a model they were after.

The way many of these so-called scientists found evidences was to locate fossils in a given area and piece together what was there. The missing fragments were recreated with plaster to complete their fraudulent model. Some of the bones were filed and cut to fit. Then the pieces were forced to make a species that was somewhat animal and somewhat human. Imagine if a hobbyist building models took left over pieces of several models and tried to make something else from it. We would think he was loony. Evolutionists do it and call that science.

In any event, these “evidences” were proven to be frauds. They were forged to fit ideas that they can only accept by a faith in a fantasy atmosphere constructed to explain the accidental existence of life. Why was the fraud never publicized to the general public? We will explain later.

DNA

In 1951 Francis Crick and James Watson discovered the DNA molecule and how genetic information was stored. Crick, who was often found mocking Christianity, realized the trouble that he brought upon by revealing the complex anatomy of DNA molecules and the questionable occurrence of the cells changing to become a whole different species.

Instead of admitting the impossiblity, he adopted another theory. “Directed Panspermia” is the idea that cells of species transported through space. In other words, we came from aliens who's sperm shot across the universe to this planet. How convenient. Since we can't prove Evolution on earth, why not push the occurrence in a “galaxy far far away” where it can never be tested... at least not without the help of Captain Kirk.

Why Evolution?

Why have "scientists" gone through such extremes to prove Evolution and a missing link? The answer may be the absolute fear and hatred of Christianity and the thought that man might be accountable to a Supreme God who is Creator.

In most cases, scientists have been promised funding and threatened of funding stripped if they don't find support for it in their universities. Second rate educators, passing off as scientists, rewrote school textbooks to provide the foundation for every young person's mind to believe in this fabrication. Humanists have worked their way into our education system to demand Evolution be taught alongside Creationism. Then they craftily coaxed judges into ruling that Evolution alone be taught and Creation left for religious zealots.

Their fear is that God truly is Creator. That would mean man has to answer to a Supreme Being. He would have to give up authority to the one who made us, and they don't like it.

In 1980 at a worldwide Evolution Convention held in Chicago the well-known late Dr. Stephen Jay Gould of Harvard University revealed that it has been a long time trade secret that transitional forms (missing links) do not exist. What did he accept instead? Punctuated Equilibrium, which claims that species stayed the same for millions of years, then all of a sudden rapidly changed into entirely different form, like one day a bird laid an egg and out came an ape. That is their explanation why missing links are not found.

Why do they refuse to believe in a Creation? Because then their worst fear would face them. They would also have to believe in God. Man would no longer be the measure of all things, which is the basis of their religion, humanism.

A teacher was once asked if he truly believes in Evolution. The teacher answered that he was not sure Evolution would be scientifically possible. When asked why he still teaches it as fact, he responded that it is morally uncomfortable not to stay ignorant. He added that as long as he believed in Evolution, man only considered an animal, can live the way he chooses. But as soon as one admits there is a Creator, we become morally responsible to that Creator. 

It Takes Faith

Radio hosts such as Dr. Dean Edell often states how Evolution is an undisputed fact as if the case has been closed. Certain news commentators have written stories that question why people still debate Evolution even though it has already been a proven scientific fact.

The truth is, the debate has never been closed, only shushed. The "facts" that they claim substantiate Evolution do not exist, but remain written in classroom textbooks, so students believe it has scientific presidence.

There are many unsuspecting people that still hold to the original theories that they were taught in school so many years ago, even though scientists have abandoned some of those theories of long ago and have clung to even more far-reaching conclusions.

Some years ago I spoke with a gentleman in his 60's who believed we were evolved from single cell matter lurking in a swamp billions of years ago. When I educated him on the current views of Evolutionists who have drifted from those original theories, he didn't want to believe it. He said (despite the Evolutionists' claims themselves) that he will always believe in the original "swamp thing" no matter what their new claims are. How deceived is this man? He wouldn't believe it if Charles Darwin himself returned to tell him the theory was fraud. The truth is he insists on believing the lie as it protects him from accountablility.

In reality, Evolution is as much accepted only by faith as Evolutionists claim Creation is. Both have a basis that require a miracle for its origin, but Creation accepts it and explains it more rationally through science. Both can claim to be supported by science, however, Evolution has many more unscientific evidences than Creation.

Evolution is the belief that claims science has its support. It makes claims that faith is fantasy and that it needs to be tested by sceince to be proven true. Yet Evolution debunks its own claims of science as its unrealistic and unnatural conclusions of atmospheric conditions require more faith to believe that can only be accepted by fantasy.

Here are some passages in the Bible that are relevent.

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. (Romans 1:25)

And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (2 Tim 4:4)

For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. (2 Pet 1:16)

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: (1 Tim 6:20)

It takes more faith to believe in Evolution, but it takes faith in real truth that frees the spirit of a man.                                                               L I
