Evolutionary Mythology

Romans 1:21-22 “because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools.”

Since the release of the new documentary about the intelligent design of birds titled “Flight”, I’m keeping with the Creation verses Evolution theme, writing you about the Creation Studies Institutes’ director Tom DeRosa’s newsletter article on the teaching of “absurdity” in our classrooms today in the area of evolution. DeRosa writes that the most perplexing question today for evolutionist is how life could originate from inert (lifeless) material. How life, which is marked by astonishing complexity and intricate mechanism all working together in an invisible harmony, began is a mystery for secular theorists.  The properties required for life (even what Darwin called “the simple single cell”) are so uniquely complex that no super machines made by man can compare. We now know that every living cell produces energy with amazing efficiency. They go through remarkable growth and development stages, repair themselves and have unique methods of reproduction to perpetuate their existence on planet earth. Also, each has its own amazing complex information system programmed into its DNA, which could only have resulted from a Super Intelligence. To attempt to explain that even the “simplest” of life forms arose by natural processes from dead material is the highest degree of absurdity, and yet this is what is taking place in most of our American classrooms today. It is arrogantly presented as a “scientific fact” that should be accepted without question. Does it matter to you that most young people in our educational institutions are taught incorrect information, or that the facts about the grave problems the theory of evolution faces with the origin of life are routinely censored? What facts?

Psalm 103:22 “Bless the Lord, all His works, In all places of His dominion.

Bless the Lord, O my soul!”

It is in the details, the intricacies of biological systems, where the weaknesses of evolutionary explanations fail completely. Millions of enormously intricate nanomachines have been discovered that need t be present in order for life to exist on earth. Attempting to explain these biochemical “machines” operating in a living system from evolutionary paradigm are so insurmountable that doing so requires either stubborn ignorance or willful closed mindedness to the scientific facts. The discovery of this invisible “micro-world”, wit the aid of the electron microscope, has revolutionized our understanding of how life began and has given us far more details on how these living systems work. Such new discoveries make it clear that life is an extraordinary masterpiece of intricate, overlapping mechanisms that function perfectly together. In other words, these miniature machines scream “design” and completely defy any naturalistic explanation. Only a Great Intelligence or Master Designer can account for them. Could an undirected, unintelligent process account for the famous ATP-ADP molecular motor, which ranks right after DNA in importance for life, or the other millions of nanomachines needed to bring them together in a perfect operating system that is required for the simplest life to exist?

Isaiah 43:7 “Everyone who is called by My name, Whom I have created for My glory; I have formed him, yes, I have made him.”

Former Harvard evolutionary paleontologist Steven Gould, an atheist, stated that, “We are glorious accidents of an unpredictable process with no drive to complexity, not the expected results of evolutionary principles that yearn to produce a creature capable if understanding the mode of its own necessary construction.” He believes that biological evolution is a mysterious, unpredictable process and that life was a one-time “fluke which is statistically impossible, even by a glorious accident. The irrational faith that this nonetheless happens ignores the DNA code, which has the specific purpose of programming life. All biological systems are defined and created through DNA. To accomplish this task, it uses “language” written in biological code. Where did this coded language come from, and who wrote it for every living creature? How did nature write the code, the program, to sustain life? One can only logically conclude that the “code of life” must have come from an outside source possessing infinite knowledge, power and love … a benevolent Creator.

Psalm 139:14-16 “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and  wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.

 

With the fallacies in our school textbooks, are we teaching our biology students mythology rather than science?
