Does God Exist?

“Evolution Is a Fact”(…or so they would have you

believe!)

Evolution & Christianity:Both are Religions

Each Use Their Belief System to Answer the Questions We Do Not

Know the Answer to.

(Romans 1:20)

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are

clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are

without excuse, (NKJV)

(1 Peter 3:15)

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness

and fear; (NKJV)

J.W.N. Sullivan, The Limitations of Science, p. 94)

“The beginning of the evolutionary process raises a question which is as yet unanswerable. What was the origin of life on this planet? Until fairly recent times there was a pretty general belief

in the occurrence of “spontaneous generation.” It was supposed that lowly forms of life

developed spontaneously from, for example, putrefying meat. But careful experiments, notably those of Pasteur, showed that this

conclusion was due to improper observation, and it became an accepted doctrine that life never arises except from life. So far as actual

evidence goes, this is still the…

…only possible conclusion. But since it is a conclusion that seems to lead back to some supernatural

creative act, it is a conclusion that scientific men find very diffi cult to accept. It carries with it what

are felt to be, in the present mental climate, undesirable philosophic implications, and it is

opposed to the scientific desire for continuity. It introduces an unaccountable break in the chain of

causation, and therefore cannot be admitted as part of science unless it is quite impossible to

reject it. For that reason most scientific men prefer to believe that life arose, in some way not yet

understood, from inorganic matter in accordance with the laws of physics and chemistry.”

Richard Lewontin:“Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are

against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the supernatural.

We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment, a commitment to materialism. It is

not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are

forced by our priori adherance to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of

concepts that produce material explanations', no matter how mystifying the uninitiated. Moreover, that

materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a divine foot in the door.” - Richard Lewontin, Harvard Geneticist

"[Man] stands alone in the universe, a unique product of a long, unconscious, impersonal, material process with unique understanding and potentialities. These he owes to no one

but himself and it is to himself that he is responsible. He is not the creature of

uncontrollable and undeterminable forces, but he is his own master. He can, and must,

decide and manage his own destiny."—*George G. Simpson, "The World into Which Darwin Led Us," in Science, 131 (1960), p.

966.

Erosion or Intelligent Design?

Page 11: Infinite Amounts of Time/Chance God is Infinite and the Source.

Richard Dawkins (athiest)

“We have seen that living things are too improbable

and too beautifully

‘designed’ to have come into

existence by chance.” – Richard

Dawkins, The Blind

Watchmaker, 1987, W.W.

Norton & Co., New York pg. 43

Stein: Then who did create the heavens

and the earth?

Dawkins: Why do you use the word

“who”? You see, you immediately bait the

question by using the word “who”.

Stein: Well then how did it get created?

Dawkins: Well, um, by a very slow process.

Page 13: Infinite Amounts of Time/Chance God is Infinite and the Source.

Stein: Well how did it start?

Dawkins: Nobody knows how it got started. We

know the kind of event it must have been. We know the sort of event that

must have happened for the origin of life.

Stein: And what was that?

Dawkins: It was the origin of the first self-replicating molecule.

Page 14: Infinite Amounts of Time/Chance God is Infinite and the Source.

Stein: Right, and how did that

happen?

Dawkins: I told you we don’t know.

Stein: So you have no idea how it

started.

Dawkins: No, no. Nor has anybody

else.

Page 15: Infinite Amounts of Time/Chance God is Infinite and the Source.

Stein: What do you think is the possibility that

intelligent design might turn out to be the answer to some issues in genetics or in Darwinian evolution?

Dawkins: It could come about in the following

way: It could be that at some earlier time, somewhere in the

universe, a civilization evolved by probably some kind of Darwinian means to a very, very high level

of technology and designed a form of life that they seeded onto

perhaps this planet. Now that is a possibility…an intriguing possibility…

Via Chance or Design?

Page 20: Infinite Amounts of Time/Chance God is Infinite and the Source.

David Berlinski

“Nothing in the theory is precicely, clearly, carefully

defined or delineated. It lacks all the rigor one expects from

mathematical physics and mathematical physics lacks all

the rigor one expects from mathematics. So we are talking about a gradual

descent down the level of intelligibility until we reach

evolutionary biology. We don’t even know what a species is

for heaven’s sakes”!

Werner Gitt

“…there is no known law of nature, no known process and no known sequence of events which can cause information to originate by itself in

matter.”

He further states: “There is no known natural law through which matter can give rise to

information, neither is any physical process or material phenomenon known that can do this.” – Gitt, Werner. 1997. In the Beginning Was Information. CLV. Bielfeld, Germany. Pg.

64-67, 79, 107.

David Berlinski

“Let’s be reasonable. We’re all sophistocated men and women

here. The popular myth of science as a uniquely self-critical institution and scientists as men who would rather be consumed at the stake rather than fudge

their data, I mean, that’s o.k. for a PBS special, but that’s not the

real world. That’s not what’s taking place. People fudge the

data whenever they can get away with it and they will commit

themselves to fraudulent drawing just so long as they’re convinced that no one’s looking

over their shoulder.”

Evolutionary Agenda: Danger!

“A man who has no assured and ever-present belief in the existence of God,

or of a future existence with retribution and reward, can have for

his rule of life, as far as I can see, only to follow these impulses and instincts

which are the strongest or which seem to him the best ones.” – The

Morality of Evolution, Charles Darwin, Autobiography, Norton, 1958, pg. 94
