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. 19. Brave New Babies

Notes from 'How Now shall we live', by C. Colson and N. Pearcey. pps 126-128 Why is our thinking so degraded when what I am is determined by what other people think I should be. Man is trying to create the ideal species capable of living in harmony and stability , a species free from all antiquated ideas and encumbrances such as family and child rearing. To ensure the unfettered pursuit of happiness , free sex is encouraged, and all purpose drug will be available. Life will be a perfect bliss. when it becomes burdensome or inconvenient, it is gently and mercifully ended. This is a bizarre fantasy. eugenics juːˈdʒɛnɪks/ noun  the science of improving a population by controlled breeding to increase the occurrence of desirable heritable characteristics.  This resulted in Eugenics - the idea of improving the human race and based upon evolution and the superior species. It was to be brought about by selective breeding. This did not begin in Hitler's Laboratories b...

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...

Post No.4 Christian Ethic and Moral Relativism

¡ Christian Ethics is the study of what ought to be , not what is. It describes normative behaviour, what we should do in a particular situation according to the Word of God . ¡ ”. Ethics comes from the Greek word meaning a stall for horses, a place of stability and permanence. ¡ “ morality ” comes from “mores” which describes the shifting patterns of behaviour in society. ¡ a Biblical worldview . (Seeing the World Through Biblical Eyes) ¡ Many do not act like Christians because they do not ‘think like Christians’. ¡ It is thinking according to the Bible. BioLogos by the Barna Group ¡ Behaviour  comes from  Values and beliefs.    comes Thinking Biblically about the Issues of life’  ultimately result  in  our living Biblically within our society . ¡ As a Man Thinks in his heart so is he [so He will live].
