Scientific Investigation for Truth – Part Seven


 John 1:3-5God created everything through him (Jesus), and nothing was created except through him. The Word gave life to everything that was created, and his life brought light to everyone. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it.”

Looking at the final arguments of  Focus on the Family’s “Truth Project” study on the battle over creation verses evolution in Science, Dr. David M. Raup,  paleontologist at the University of Chicago states: “We are now about 120 years after Darwin and the knowledge of the fossil record has been greatly expanded. We now have a quarter of a million fossil species but the situation hasn’t changed much. The record of evolution is still surprisingly jerky and, ironically, we have even fewer examples of evolutionary transition than we had in Darwin’s time.” Paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould (1941-2002), among the best known and widely read scientists of our present generation, stated: “The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology. The evolutionary trees that adorn our textbooks have data only at the tips and the nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils.”

In the Pulitzer prize-winning book "The Beak of the Finch: A Story of Evolution in Our Time," popular science writer Jonathan Weiner wrote: “The Grants (Peter Grant, a Princeton University professor whose studies of the Galapagos Islands finches is considered a masterpiece of evolutionary ecology) are leaders of this field," Weiner writes. Their work on Darwin's finches is "one of the most intensive and valuable animal studies ever conducted in the wild. It is the best and most detailed demonstration to date of the power of Darwin's process." But Dr. Jonathan Wells, PhD Molecular and Cell Biology Senior Fellow, of the Center for Science & Culture states: “What the books fail to mention is that as soon as the rains came back , the average beak size of the Galapagos Island’s finches returned to normal; there was no net evolution. What we are really seeing is just one species oscillating back and forth with no real evolutionary change, so the evidence is exaggerated to make it appear to support Darwin’s theory in a way that it really doesn’t.”

Ephesians 3:9-15I was chosen to explain to everyone this mysterious plan that God, the Creator of all things, had kept secret from the beginning. God’s purpose in all this was to use the church to display his wisdom in its rich variety to all the unseen rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.  This was his eternal plan, which he carried out through Christ Jesus our Lord. Because of Christ and our faith in him, we can now come boldly and confidently into God’s presence. So please don’t lose heart because of my trials here. I am suffering for you, so you should feel honored. When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth.”

Dr. Soren Lovtrup (1922-) is a Danish Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Phosphorous, Sulfur (mnemonic for the six most abundant elements in the human body) chemist (bio -chemist), embryologist, and animal physiologist in evolution thermodynamics stated: “I believe that one day the Darwinian myth will be ranked the greatest deceit in the history of science. When this happens, many people will pose the question: ‘How did this ever happen?’” Dr. Del Tackett asks: “How is it that we’ve been led so long in this theory that has no support?” We are dealing with science and a scientific truth claim, but a philosophic worldview battle. Something is at stake that is deeper than a simple scientific theory. This is a fundamental worldview based in unbelief in Creator God. They hold onto evolution because the consequence of rejecting the theory puts them face to face with a Creator.   

Colossians 1:15-17The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”

American Atheist G. Richard Bozarth wrote: “Evolution destroys utterly and finally the very reason Jesus’ earthly life was supposedly made necessary. Destroy Adam and Eve and original sin, and in the rubble you will find the sorry remains of the Son of God. And if Jesus was not the Redeemer who dies for our sins, and this is what evolution means, then Christianity is nothing.” Atheists and Agnostics exchange the truth for a lie in order to follow their deepest desires. English evolutionary biologist, humanist and internationalist Sir Julian Huxley stated: “I suppose the reason we leaped at The Origin of the Species, was because the idea of God interfered with our sexual mores." Bill Nye, the Science Guy, said: “That here is a plan for everyone and this deity has it all worked out and is directing things is an extraordinary claim that I find troublesome for me. Why do evolutionists shut out any reality of evidence and argument against it? When you ignore the evidence and reject the truth for a lie, you have consequences. It is a critical issue today. Our children are blocked and mocked if they believe in ‘intelligent design” in the cosmos and a designer Creator God. Why should evolution be taught as a fact in our schools and used as the standard for preparing the next generation? May the truth be known. 

Genesis 1:31-2:1Then God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day. Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished.


In Christ, Brian

Hi Brian,

Great series, thanks for sharing it.

Bill Nye needs a lot of prayer and warfare intercession; he is after our kids!

I agree with you friend, let the Truth be known.

Blessings,
