What is Evolution?

Mistakes + Natural Selection

Why don’t they give an example?

Holt Biology, 1996, pg 324

The random “beneficial mutation”

Illusion

Mutation

“The fact that the genetic code can

simultaneously write two kinds of

information means that many DNA

changes that appear to alter protein

sequences may actually cause

disease by disrupting gene control

programs or even both mechanisms

simultaneously” Genome scientist Dr. John Stamatoyannopoulus

Evolutionary microbiologist James Shapiro, University of Chicago…

“There are no detailed Darwinian accounts

for the evolution of any fundamental

biochemical or cellular systems, only a

variety of wishful speculations.”

Study casts doubt on creationismOctober 24, 2007

The St Bernard dog – named after the 11th century priest Bernard of Menthon – may have ironically challenged the theory of creationism, say scientists. Biologists at The University of Manchester say that changes to the shape of the breed’s head over the years can only be explained through evolution and natural selection.

The team, led by Dr Chris Klingenberg in the Faculty of Life Sciences, examined the skulls of 47 St Bernards spanning 120 years, from modern examples to those of dogs dating back to the time when the breed standard was first defined. “We discovered that features stipulated in the breed standard of the St Bernard became more exaggerated over time as breeders selected dogs that had the desired physical attributes,” said Dr Klingenberg. “In effect they have applied selection to move the evolutionary process a considerable way forward, providing a unique opportunity to observe sustained evolutionary change under known selective pressures.”

The findings, published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences tomorrow (Wednesday), are based on studies of St Bernard skulls donated by Swiss breeders to the Natural History Museum in Berne. Compared to their ancestors, modern St Bernards have broader skulls, while the angle between the nose and the forehead is steeper in modern dogs and they have also developed a more pronounced ridge above the eyes.

“These changes are exactly in those features described as desirable in the breed standards. They are clearly not due to other factors such as general growth and they provide the animal with no physical advantage, so we can be confident that they have evolved purely through the selective considerations of breeders.

RSR's List of Creation Science Predictions

• 1998 - Debate with Eugenie Scott – DNA is not junk

• Dr. Russ Humphries planetary magnetic field strengths

• Hubble deep field images would look like nearby galaxies

• 100s more!

Mar 2012 - RSR predicts that

the Russian scientists who

evaluate the data obtained

from their 2-mile deep bore

hole into Lake Vostok in

Antarctica will be surprised to

find evidence that seems to

contradict the old-earth belief

that it has been sealed off

from light and air for 15

million years (i.e., three times

longer than it took to allegedly

evolve humans from chimp-

like creatures).

"Many of the species we sequenced are what we

would expect to find in a lake. Most of the

organisms appear to be aquatic (freshwater), and

many are species that usually live in ocean or

lake sediments." - Scott Rogers, Bowling Green State

“Horrendously Different!”

Team leader Dr. David Page of the Whitehead

Institute for Biomedical Research in Cambridge,

Mass said in the journal Nature (Jan 2010) that

the human and chimp Y chromosomes are

“horrendously different from each other”.

How different? Between 30 – 47%!

Dr Page continued: “…the difference in MSY

gene content in chimpanzee and human is more

comparable to the difference in autosomal gene

content in chicken and human…”.

Horrendous indeed!

“We never ever find a higher animal

mixed with a lower one”

According to Dr. Donald Burge, the curator of vertebrate paleontology at the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric Museum, mammal fossils are found in nearly every dinosaur dig that he has ever been associated with…

“We find mammals in almost all of our

[dinosaur dig] sites. These were not noticed

years ago … .

Modern cosmology is built on the assumption that

“The discovery casts doubts on all contemporary

concepts of the nature and development of the

universe,” - Leonid Speransky, astrophysicist, the

Lomonosov State University in Moscow, 2006

“This disaster might be averted if we can show that the

axis arises from some oddity in the way our telescopes

and satellites observe the radiation….The European

Space Agency's recently launched Planck space telescope

might settle the issue when it makes the most sensitive

maps yet of the CMB. Until then, the axis of evil continues

to terrorise us.” – New Scientist, 2009

Planck to the

Rescue?

"The fact that Planck has made such a

significant detection of these anomalies

erases any doubts about their reality; it

explanation," - Paolo Natoli, European Space Agency, March 2013

Carnegie Institution For Science:

Today the universe is filled with galaxies that have

largely stopped forming stars, a sign of galactic

maturity. But in the distant past, galaxies were still

actively growing by consuming gas and turning it

into stars. This means that mature galaxies

should have been almost non-existent when

the universe was still young.

“Evolution makes predictions,

creation cannot”

“ Fifteen mature galaxies were found at a

record-breaking average distance of 12 billion

light years, when the universe was just 1.6

billion years old…. The finding raises new

questions about how these galaxies formed so

rapidly and why they stopped forming stars so

early. It is an enigma that these galaxies

seem to come out of nowhere.” Carnegie Institute for Science, May 14th, 2014

An Immoral Act…

Lev 18:6-8, 20:11

‘None of you shall approach anyone near of

kin to uncover nakedness: I am the Lord. You

shall not uncover the nakedness of your father,

which is the nakedness of your mother…You

shall not uncover the nakedness of your

father’s wife; it is the nakedness of your

father… The man who lies with his father’s

wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness’ Also see Lev 20:20-21, Ezekiel 22:10–11

Why was Canaan Cursed?

“Then he drank of the wine and was drunk, and became

uncovered in his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw

the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers

outside. But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on

both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the

nakedness of their father. Their faces were turned away,

and they did not see their father’s nakedness. So Noah

awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had

done to him. Then he said: “Cursed be Canaan; A servant

of servants He shall be to his brethren.”

Genesis 9:21-25

“Now the sons of Noah who went

out of the ark were Shem, Ham,

and Japheth. And Ham was the

father of Canaan. These three

were the sons of Noah, and from

these the whole earth was

populated.”

Origin of Language

Darwin: “Language slowly and unconsciously

developed by many steps [from primitive language

consisting of grunts]” (Darwin, 1871, p. 55).

Darwin

Bible

Origin of Language

People with least complex cultures have

sophisticated languages, with complex

grammar and large vocabularies, can

name and discuss anything that occurs in

the sphere occupied by their speaker…the

oldest language that can reasonably be

reconstructed is already modern,

sophisticated, and complete from an

evolutionary point of view.Simpson, G.G. 1966. The biological nature of man. Science 152:476–477.

Origin of Language

MIT professor Noam Chomsky (1972): “Many

attempts have been made to determine an

evolutionary origin of language, and all have

failed”.

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God

for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God.

2 Corinthians 10:4-5

Defending the Bible

Faith is the substance of things hoped for,

“Faith”, from Webster’s Dictionary:

2 a (1) : belief and trust in and loyalty to

God (2) : belief in the traditional doctrines

of a religion b (1) : firm belief in something

for which there is no proof (2) : complete

trust

the evidence of things not seen.

Hebrews 11:1

“John the Baptist has sent us to You,

saying, 'Are You the Coming One, or do we

look for another?‘”

Jesus answered and said to them, "Go and tell

John the things you have seen and heard: that

the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are

cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised,

the poor have the gospel preached to them.

And blessed is he who is not offended

because of Me."

Luke 7: 20-23

"And do not be afraid of their

threats, nor be troubled." 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.
