2 NJBibleScience.org God created. The Bible says so. Science confirms it.

3 1. 2. The Bible s Witness (were you there? No, only God was!) Information (DNA blueprint for life, information only comes from a mind) 3. Formation of First Life (spontaneous generation is impossible) 4. Design and Beauty of Living Things (explain metamorphosis!) 5. Second Law of Thermodynamics (things naturally deteriorate) 6. Irreducible Complexity (all parts of a complex system are needed) 7. Existence of the Universe (created itself from nothing? Really??) 8. Fine-tuning of Physics (inter-related forces are finely balanced) 9. Fine-tuning of Earth for Life (right distance from the Sun, water) 10. Abrupt Appearance in the Fossil Record (oldest fully formed) 11. Human Consciousness (the mind is more than the brain) 12. Human Reasoning and Logic (just chemical reactions in the brain?) 13. Sexual Reproduction (matching male and female independently?) 14. Morality (our sense of right and wrong) 15. Miracles (violations of natural law by reliable witnesses)

5 The Bible teaches a young Earth

6 Assumption of Evolution Assumption of Creation Scientific Data Evolution is Seen Creation is Seen Interpretation is influenced by assumptions and biases!

7 A mousetrap has: Platform / Base Spring Hammer Catch Holding Bar Take one part away and it will no longer function as a mousetrap!

8 From No Excuses! 2 Caterpillar 3 Chrysalis (complete chemical dissolution of the caterpillar and re-formation of the tissues of the butterfly) 1 Egg 4 Butterfly (it lays the egg) It is impossible to evolve through the Chrysalis stage!

9 From No Excuses! Nano-tugboat. A kinesin molecule "walks" along a biopolymer "track" by alternately attaching and disconnecting each of two "feet," hauling cellular cargo in its wake

10 From Signature in the Cell Has many problems, including: 1. Conditions that create amino acids rapidly destroy proteins 2. Had to start with pure compounds not normally found in nature 3. Had to carefully control how energy was added to the system 4. Had strategic trap to remove products before they were destroyed 5. Produced both left and righthanded forms Simulation experiments have not produced life!

11 From Does Evolution Have a Source of Genetic Information? Evolutionary View First Life No information Gradual increase over time with no intelligence (via mutation) Creation View Species 1 Species 2 Much information in each created kind from mind of God Degradation over time due to the fall (build up of mutations) Much information Note: mutation / natural selection only operates after the first replicating life form exists Kind diversifies into species due to environmental differences expressing different subsets of existing information

12 From Does Evolution have a Source of Genetic Information? Thrive in Hot Thrive in Cold Natural selection selects from already existing information and causes a loss of information

13 From Noah s Ark Could it be True? Evolution Evolution of animals of increasing higher orders Pre-flood, flood boundary Flood More mobile, smarter animals Habitat zones Various Land Near-ocean Ocean Simpler shaped The flood explains the geologic column

14 From Are You a Christian Atheist on Origins? All major body plans appear at the same time in the fossil record, with no trace of prior ancestors Fossils relatively abundant Fossils very rare The fossil record supports creation not evolution

15 From Dinosaurs and the Bible Dinosaurs fit well into biblical history!

16 Dinosaur bone supposedly 65 million years old still has fresh appearance and elastic tissue! From the work of Dr. Mary Schweitzer Red Blood Cells from T. rex specimen
