THE IMPOSSIBILITY

of EVOLUTION

PRAYER

REVIEW

1. The universe had a beginning and will have an end per science and the bible. All non-theistic religions cannot be true 2. Evolution and Christianity are mutually exclusive. Only one can be true

-Death before sin -God would be evil if he chose evolution -God is a liar if he chose evolution

3. One’s worldview effects how one processes data 4. Science is those things measurable and testable. Everything else is opinion

GOALS

1. What is “evolution”?

2. Why is evolution impossible?

Why Evolution is Impossible

FOR EVOLUTION TO BE TRUE

1. Cosmic Evolution – space, time, matter and laws of nature

2. Stellar Evolution – formation of galaxies and stars

3. Chemical Evolution – creation of everything after hydrogen and helium

4. Organic Evolution – life from non-living material

5. Macro Evolution – species changing into different species

6. Micro Evolution – small changes through natural selection and mutation

1. Somebody (GOD) made the universe. 2. The universe made itself.

There are only two choices:

1. Cosmic Evolution: The origin of time, space, and matter, i.e., Big Bang.

PROBLEM #1 - What exploded? - Where did it come from?

ANSWER: Nothing exploded and

created everything!

The big bang idea began with a Belgian astronomer, Georges Edward Lemaitre (1894-1966). According to Isaac Asimov, Lemaitre conceived this mass to be “no more than a few light-years in diameter.” At the very least, that would be two light-years or about twelve trillion miles. by 1965 that figure was reduced to 275 million miles, by 1972 to 71 million miles, by 1974 to 54 thousand miles, by 1983 to “a trillionth the diameter of a proton,” And now, to nothing at all! A singularity! Bolton Davidheiser

IMPORTANT POINTS 1.  The universe MUST have had a beginning

- matter could not have existed eternally because the universe would have died a “heat death” an eternity ago (second law of thermodynamics)

- matter and energy cannot be made (first law of thermodynamics)

2. “Singularity” – scientific way of saying something outside the

realm of known physics took place

PROBLEM 2 If the big bang theory were true then matter would be evenly distributed.

Instead it is “lumpy.” There are clusters of stars then great “voids.”

TEMPERATURE VARIATION

Big Bang!

Dark Matter and Dark Energy

PROBLEM 4 Universe expansion is accelerating

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

“the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens”

Zechariah 12:1

1. Cosmic Evolution: The origin of time, space, and matter, i.e., Big Bang.

2. Stellar and Planetary evolution. Origin of stars and planets. No one has ever seen a star form.

PROBLEM 1

There are 70 BILLION, TRILLION stars but we never see any stars form

We should see 6½ million new stars

forming every minute for 20 billion years to

make what we can see.

70,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars 20,000,000,000 years

1 year 3,500,000,000,000

6,655,000 1 minute

Some try to say they have proof of stars forming.

They point to spots getting brighter. Obviously this

could just be dust clearing and a star

behind showing through.

PROBLEM 2

Boyle’s Gas Law – as a gas is compressed, it heats up and expands. Thus, a star cannot form. Enter Dark Matter providing gravity

“The silent embarrassment of modern astrophysics is that we do not know how even a

single one of these stars managed to form.”

Martin Harwit, Science, vol. 231, 7 March 1986,

p. 1201-1202

Conservation of Angular Momentum

PROBLEM 3

Some galaxies spin backwards.

Feb 11, 2002 CNN.com

Venus, Uranus, and possibly Pluto rotate backwards from the other 6 planets.

“We have some theories about how the spin of Venus may have been pulled into sync with Earth.

Unfortunately, they don’t really work, at least not yet.” David Harry Grinspoon, Assistant Professor of

Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences, University of Colorado, From “Venus Revealed”, 1997, p. 204 *

Saturn’s moons 8 of the 91 moons rotate backwards.

Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune have moons orbiting in both directions.

Astronomical Almanac for the year 1989 (Wash. DC U.S. Government Printing Office, 1989) p. E88

PROBLEM 4

Not enough supernova remnants. Only about 350 have been identified

About every 30 years a

star is observed

exploding. This is called

a nova or supernova.

1. Cosmic Evolution: The origin of time, space, and matter, i.e., Big Bang.

2. Stellar and Planetary evolution. Origin of stars and planets. No one has ever seen a star form. 3. Chemical Evolution- the origin of higher

elements from hydrogen and helium.

- Fusion in stars, which explode - Supernova explosions

If the “Big Bang” produced hydrogen and some helium, how did the other 105 elements evolve?

Eta Carinae

Back to supernova

PROBLEM 1

Where is the supernova nebula from which our solar system was formed?

PROBLEM 2

Why are the sun and the various planets in our solar system so different from each other chemically if they all formed from the same gas cloud?

CHEMISTRY “MYSTERIES”

98% OF THE SUN IS

HYDROGEN OR HELIUM

LESS THAN 1% OF MERCURY, VENUS,

EARTH, AND MARS IS HYDROGEN OR

HELIUM

Why are the nine planets so different from each other and

from the sun?

1. Cosmic Evolution: The origin of time, space, and matter, i.e., Big Bang.

2. Chemical Evolution - the origin of higher elements from hydrogen.

3. Stellar and Planetary evolution. Origin of stars and planets. No one has ever seen a star form. 4. Organic Evolution. Spontaneous

generation

- The Earth cooled down from a molten ball of lava, forming a rocky crust. It rained on the rocks for millions of years creating a pre-biotic soup and the soup came alive.

Holt Earth Science 1994 p. 282

“Nobody knows how a mixture of lifeless chemicals spontaneously organized themselves into the first living cell.”

Paul Davies, Australian Centre for Astrobiology, Macquarie University, Sydney. New Scientist 179(2403);32 12 July, 2003

Davies was once described by the

Washington Times as “the best science writer on either side of the Atlantic.”

Simplest, single-celled life has 1000 proteins

1080 = number of atoms in universe

1/101453 = odds of one protein forming

- Cell wall?

- Information to run it?

HAECKEL’S CONFESSION Haeckel claimed that spontaneous generation must be true, not because it had been proven in the laboratory, but because otherwise…

“It would be necessary to believe in a creator”

Records from the University of Jena trial in 1875. Dr. Edward Blick, Blick Engineering, Norman, OK

1. Cosmic Evolution: The origin of time, space, and matter, i.e., Big Bang.

2. Chemical Evolution - the origin of higher elements from hydrogen.

3. Stellar and Planetary evolution. Origin of stars and planets. No one has ever seen a star form. 4. Organic Evolution. Origin of Life. 5. Macro-Evolution. Changing from one kind into another.

If a frog turns into a Handsome Prince Quickly… “A Fairy Tale” “Modern Science”

If a frog turns into a Handsome Prince Slowly…

If Macro Evolution Were True:

- We should see innumerable transitional fossils

- We should see creatures in the midst of transformation

- There should be ever increasing diversity of life

WHAT WE OBSERVE:

- Only a handful of very disputable “transitional” fossils

- We see no creatures in the midst of transformation

- Well over 90% of species to inhabit the earth are gone

Most evolutionists tell you that macro-evolution is just micro-evolution over

longer periods of time. This is dreaming! “The central question of the Chicago

conference was whether the mechanisms underlying microevolution can be

extrapolated to explain the phenomena of macroevolution. … the answer can be

given as a clear, No.” Roger Lewin, “Evolution Theory Under Fire” Science vol 210, Nov. 21, 1980,

p. 883

This is dreaming! No one has every seen a dog produce a non-dog. You have to imagine that it happened long ago and far away. This is religion not science. There are genetic barriers to prevent it from happening. Who would the partly “evolved” dog marry?

Is macro just micro over more time? No!

1. Cosmic Evolution: The origin of time, space, and matter, i.e., Big Bang.

2. Chemical Evolution - the origin of higher elements from hydrogen.

3. Stellar and Planetary evolution. Origin of stars and planets. No one has ever seen a star form. 4. Organic Evolution. Origin of Life. 5. Macro-Evolution. Changing from one kind into another. 6. Micro-Evolution. Variations within kinds. Only this one has been observed.

Dog breeds

Still a dog!

That’s not evolution

only variation.

The dog, wolf, and coyote

probably had a

common ancestor!

1. They have limits. Farmers breed for bigger pigs. They will never get a pig as big as Texas!

Variations do happen but:

1. They have limits. Roaches become resistant to pesticides.

2. They produce the same kind of animal or plant. That is not evolution! See www.bryancore.org/bsg/

3. The information for the variation was already present. No new information is added. (The dogs do not become pink or learn to fly.)

How long would Chihuahuas last in the

real world?

4. The gene pool of the new variety is more limited than before and less able to adapt to future changes. Chihuahuas cannot produce Great Danes.

Go ahead, make my

day!

Scientists know evolution cannot be true, hence the “MULTIVERSE THEORY”

Is Science Infallible?

Geocentric vs Heliocentric

Weights falling from Pisa Tower

For 2000 years it was taught that heavy objects fall faster than light ones. Galileo proved all objects fall at the same speed in a vacuum.

In 1799 George Washington was bled twice by his doctors before he died. They believed in the doctrine of humors.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION

1. Tell the evolutionist what

THEY believe

2. Ask strategic questions

“…be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is

within you.”

Can you defend your faith?
