3 Proofs from Science
- Life.
- They say life arose as a result of spontaneous generation. That it all began as inorganic matter, or pre biotic soup, a puddle of green slime. They call it a ‘fortuitous concourse of atoms.’ Doesn’t that sound intellectual? A flash of lightning hit the puddle of scum. Now why would intelligent people believe that?
- Nonlife cannot give life
- Why one doesn’t believe:
- Dr. George Wald (a Nobel Prize winner in Biology and professor Emeritus of Biology at Harvard, until his death in 1997) said, “There are only two possibilities as to how life arose; one is spontaneous generation arising to evolution, the other is a supernatural creative act of God, there is no third possibility. Spontaneous generation that life arose from non-living matter was scientifically disproved 120 years ago by Louis Pasteur and others. That leaves us with only one possible conclusion-that life arose as a creative act of God. I will not accept that philosophically because I do not want to believe in God, therefore I choose to believe in that which I know is scientifically impossible, spontaneous generation arising to evolution.”
- True science is observable and repeatable.
- 1 Tim. 6:20It’s a philosophy you choose to believe in, and it takes a lot more faith than it does to believe in God
- Law of biogenesis
- DNA is fixed, the fixity of the species…everything reproduces after its own kind.
- Genesis 1:11-12
- 11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
- “After his kind” is repeated 10 times in this passage. You can cross breed roses all your life and get different colors and sizes of roses, but you’ll never get a puppy. You can breed cats all you want and get many variations, but you’ll never get even a different species of cat. And scientists have done all kinds of mutations to fruit flies, and come up w/ some funky things, but all of them have been fruit flies!
- They have no transitional forms in the fossil record.
- Reproducing after his kind is observable and repeatable.
- Genesis 1:11-12
- DNA is fixed, the fixity of the species…everything reproduces after its own kind.
- 2nd law of thermodynamics
- That energy can never be destroyed but becomes less available for further work as it unravels.
- Everything tends to wear out and slow down. Things aren’t moving from bad to good, but the opposite. Ill.—(Walnut Hills Pictures) Everything on earth is marked by death, decay.
- If you totally disassemble my car and drop the parts from the roof will they come together? Will they be more or less organized when they land? What if we drop them from 1,000 feet? 10,000 feet? The more time we give them to fall the more disorganized they will become, and they will never come together w/out a designer, a creator, and organizer.

- The evolutionist says man started in darkness and is moving toward the light, and just needs a boost from beneath. The creationist says that man rather started in the light, but plunged into darkness. He doesn’t need an instructor but a redeemer. If man is just an accident then there’s no God, we have no right and wrong, and no value of life. We wonder people act like animals…they’ve been told they are one!
