THE CASE FOR A CREATOR
QUESTIONS THAT COULD BE ASKED
v Evolution/big bang theory
v What proof is there?
v A creator’s creator?
v Science against faith?
4 VISUAL IMAGES OF EVOLUTION
v Evolution is based on 4 visual images
• Stanley Miller- amino acid experiment • Charles Darwin’s origin of the species (featured in bio
textbooks) • Ernst Haeckel’s drawings of embryos • the archaeop- teryx, the famous fossil from a bird- lizard-like
creature dating back 150 million years. Scientists hailed it as the missing link between modern birds and reptiles.
STANLEY MILLER
v His experiment was FALSE
v Why? Because he never used elements that existed in the early
earth’s atmosphere.
v If you do the experiment now you get cyanide not amino acids!!!!!
v So producing amino acids is false
DARWIN’S TREE OF LIFE
v Most known- atheists use it a lot to discredit our beliefs. (Note a
lot of Christians are now agreeing with the theory of evolution.)
v It is discredited as a theory now why? • Fossils don’t support theory • Phyla suddenly appeared on the tree • After the Cambrian explosion more than 540 million years ago, fully
developed animals appeared with no semblance of evolutionary processes
v “The evidence for Darwinism is not only grossly inadequate,
it’s systematically distorted. I’m convinced that sometime in the
not-too- distant future...people will look back in amazement and
say, ‘How could anyone have believed this?’” ~Jonathan Wells
v Haeckel basically photo shopped!!!!!
v We can’t all have the same ancestry, imagine scales or gills!!!!
v He chose only the embryos that had similarities, purpose- fully
omitting those not supporting his theory.
? HAECKEL’S EMBRYOS?
DARWINISM
v Not compatible together
v Science evolves and so technology but not religion.
v You literally obliterate Jesus and God.
