Akin For The Truth

Newton, Kepler and Maxwell are familiar names, as men who made great leaps in the world of science. They all have something in common: they believed in God.  

    This is the last of the enlisting of the positions about origins held in common by most modern creationists. We conclude that knowledge of God's word has no effect unless it is demonstrated in our personal lives.    

    Added to the discussions we've covered so far must be the essential realization that, when taken to their logical ends, the doctrines of Darwinian evolution and special creationism are mutually exclusive.    

Our next postulate is that the vast ages are refuted by scientific observation. Missing links between species are still missing in their millions. Aggressive, worldwide search since 1859 for these "intermediate species" haven't brought a single missing link. 

Next we'll briefly make 2 more observations. Firstly, that there are multiplied thousands of beneficial unique factors about our solar system. Secondly, there is a historical longing in humankind for paradise.

There are certainly basics with which all creationists agree. Let's look at the first two: natural selection, and beneficial mutation.  

  Marvelous variety can occur within a given class of creatures - not because of new information, but the scrambling and recombination of information already existing in the DNA coding. Thus variation cannot be used to prove the tenets of evolutionary theory. 

After voicing his concerns about the growing popularity of creationism among biology teachers, Mr. Berra proceeds to cite, as proof of evolution, examples that are either variations within species &natural selection, or unsubstantiated scenarios.

Tim Berra is "alarmed" by the number of teachers who are favorable toward creation science in the classroom - but this shows the willingness that exists to challenge unsubstantiated evolutionary claims by means of critical thinking.    

Evolutionists use the false argument that if we accept God as the Creator of nature, we will see no need to search for scientific explanations. History does not support this argument, since the greatest scientists that ever lived, believed strongly in a Creator.

The real rub is not what we see in nature, but how it got here. The debate is about origins.

Evolutionists and Creationists have no disputes regarding the complex coding of the DNA, but the latter see far too much purpose in the biology of life to discount a Creator. 

In continuing to contrast the hopefulness of the believer of Scripture with the hopeless and dark doctrines of the materialist, we look at another of the intentional attributes necessary for life: the atmosphere.

Now we look at the worldview of the Christian, who sees each piece of the cosmos as divinely designed by a loving Creator.

We first look at the worldview of believes the order of the universe has created itself: a meaningless universe, life without purpose.   

To end our discourse about the history of language, we look at Dr. Henry Morris' two theories to explain the history of language.

  Primitive languages are generally more complex than their derivatives, whereas modern languages are increasingly generalized and less precise. This is the opposite of what would happen if language were the product of a positive development process.

To accept evolutionist theories about language development, we must accept that people of ancient cultures were unable to write anything for hundreds of thousands to millions of years! Let's look into the history of written of pictographic and cuneiform writing.    

The ability to communicate with our own kind in abstract, symbolic speech is unique to man, and the evolutionist has never been able to bridge the tremendous gulf between this ability and the grunts and barks of animals.    

Our DNA is full of directed, purposed information – a code that could not have come from the random chaos of evolution.
