No. 14 Evolutionists Non-plussed by Irreducible Complexity

"Look,  Katy" one dad asked his daughter, "Just think of your own experience. Have you ever seen a message written in the sky for all to see or on a rock by some kind of natural force?"

"Hmmm" she replied noncommittally.

Anyone who says that some natural force in the chemicals 'wrote' the DNA code - well, that's like saying the chemicals in the paper and ink wrote these words on this page. It never happened.

What our children are being taught in school is saying that nature can do everything on its own and that God is irrelevant.
Quietly God is being nudged into this position of irrelevance, where there is simply nothing for Him to do as far as creation is concerned. When they study Evolutionary Biology which says, "By coupling un-directed, purposeless variation to the blind, uncaring process of natural selection, Darwin made Theological and spiritual explanations of the life process superfluous.
That is why there is a worship of nature and the saving of the whales all the while there is killing of the unborn children in the mothers womb right  up to 37 weeks.
The Best argument against Darwinism
In the text-books they tout the variation in dogs and horses and roses as "Evolution in action."
But Darwin overlooked the obvious fact that dogs always give birth to dogs; and horses, horses;  not rabbits.  A rose will always be a rose. None of the variations brought about a new organism. So much more information needs to be added to the genes for a bird to become a lizard.

All observed change is limited. Dogs will always be dogs.  What they are trying to say is that over billions of years these mutations add up to create major changes. Change from a one-celled organism to a bee, to a butterfly, to a little boy never happens. Even Charles Darwin's experiments breeding pigeons demonstrates the limits of  biological change. These major changes never have been observed. It is just speculation. This is the fatal flaw with the Darwinian Theory of Evolution.

IRREDUCIBLE COMPLEXITY

The famous Christian Evangelist, author and Apologist, Francis Shaeffer, used an argument against Evolution that was very simple and easy to grasp, and devastating: Suppose a fish evolves lungs. What happens then? Does it move up to the next evolutionary stage?
Of course not. It drowns.
Living things cannot simply change piece-meal - a new organ here, and new limb there. An organism is an integrated system and any change in the system is more likely to e harmful than helpful. A fish's gills, if they were to mutate into a set of lungs, it would be a disaster not an advantage. There would need to be a whole set of integrated changes to take place at once for it to become land dwelling.

The Concept of Irreducible Complexity was developed by Michael Behe, a Lehigh University Professor in his 1993 book Darwin's Black Box. He used the mousetrap. It cannot be assembled slowly and expect to catch a few mice with just a platform and one spring. To even start catching mice you must have all parts functioning together from the outset. All organisms are an integrated system with interacting parts. There is no possible Darwinian explanation for Irreducible Complexity. Darwin himself saw this. "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, slight modifications; then my theory has  absolutely broken down."

The world is full of complex organs that could not possibly be made by many slight modifications. All organs are irreducibly complex. The classical examples is the "eye". Every part must be fully functional from the beginning.. What about a single cell. There is so much information in the DNA of a single cell that  it has more information than 3 or 4 sets of Encyclopedia Britannica.

No.9. How did the whole Universe Begin?

Notes from Colson p.57 -67 Scientists  have completely reversed their theories in the past few decades. They thought for ages that the Physical Universe was eternal and therefore needs no 'creator'. Now they postulate that the universe did have an ultimate origin and that it began at a finite time in the past - just as the Bible teaches. Many ancient cultures believed that the material from which the Universe came was eternal. However, today "the indestructibility or permanence of matter" is a scientific fact" wrote a 19th Century proponent of materialism. For many years that is how things stood. Any thought of a Creator and the earth having a beginning was just bare religious faith standing in lonely opposition to established science. Now in the 20th Century several sources of new evidence appeared : the implications from general relativity theory that the Universe is expanding; that some stars exhibit "red shift", implying that they are moving out

No 26. Salvation through Sex

National Women's Hall of Fame Mary Steichen Calderone Mary Calderone sees the problem with the world is the human nature is not evolving as quickly as technology; therefore we must remould human nature itself to the modern, every changing world. She says that a new change is breaking across the Horizon and the task of Educators is to prepare children to step into this new world. To do this they must pry children away from old views and values especially from Biblical and other traditional forms of sexual morality for "religious laws and rules about sex were made on the basis of ignorance.  " Family Book about Sexuality" Calderone and Johnston p. 171 Notes from Colson and Pearcey p.242 When we trace the history of ideas about sexuality, it becomes clear that the founders of sex education never did seek simply to transmit a collection of facts about how our bodies work. Rather, they were evangelists for the utopian worldview, a religion , in which a "sci

No.26. The Problem of a Good GOD and the Presence of EVIL (cont.)

Notes Taken from Colson and Pearcey pps 209 and 210  #2      Deny that suffering and evil even exist.   Some people try to solve the problem of evil and suffering on earth saying they are merely illusions created by their own minds. Christian Science Monitor                              At Christian Scientists' meeting,  This is the strategy adopted by Christian Science and by some Eastern religions. Hinduism say that the physical universe is all an Illusion (maya) and that suffering of the body is just a misconception of the MIND. If we just train ourselves to think correctly, we can overcome all suffering through realising it does not exist. [Maya]  According to many schools of Hinduism , the world is an illusion, a play of the supreme consciousness of God. It is a projection of things and forms that are temporarily phenomenal and sustain the illusion of oneness and permanence. Is this world just a Maya Illusion. Can we really life with such a Philosophy of den
