Evangelism: Section 7, Chapter 5 Absolutely Reliable Page 8, Back to Page 7, Back to Content Page This creates problems for Evolutionists when it comes to existing information in the genetic code for example. The genetic code is a blueprint for the creation and maintenance of the human body. According to Evolutionists Genetic code came from unintelligent matter; but we just learned that material matter cannot produce information in the DNA molecule at all. DNA is a language just like any other language. It has letters, it has an alphabet of four letters. It has words which are all three letters long. It has sentences, it has punctuation, it has a dictionary. It has everything we find in a human language. Therefore it is a true language which explains how physical human life is to be created and maintained; it is equal to any language because it shares the same qualities, grammatical qualities and so forth. As one looks at the world, one finds that information does not exist apart from an intelligent source which created that information. A dictionary is thousands of times less complicated than a DNA molecule, but you would be laughed in the face if you claimed it came about by chance. How much information is contained in the Human DNA? Some have estimated that it is several sets of encyclopedias of information. Not only is DNA a blue print for life, but is specifically designed for the life and function of each different kind of creature. Take the Ameba for example: not only does DNA specify all its needed proteins but is also equipped to deal with any possible factors within the environment that it lives. This is true for any living form on earth. Wherever they are found, we find that their genetic code has built in factors to deal with and adjust to the environment they find themselves in. This shows omnipotent intelligent design. Evolutionists in some ways admit that information is the result of intelligence. For example: when evolutionary scientists are looking for ETs in the universe, they tune their radios toward space to listen for a message. If they were to find a radio message from outer space that did not originate from earth, How would they know that it came from an intelligent source? Because of the fact that it contains information. Where did the information come from? It had to come from an intelligent source. This then would be their proof that there is intelligent life in the universe. However, they are inconsistent when the evidence points to divine intelligence. They look at the DNA molecule which is a thousand times more complex and full of more complex information than a possible radio message from outer space and assume that it did not come from an intelligent source but only by random chance collision of molecules. Piano sheet music by itself is of no more value than a rock. The same is true of the piano. However if an intelligent human being who knows how to decipher the sheet music and transcribe it to the keys of the piano sits down and plays the piano, you then have music full of intelligent beautiful information to the hearer. In the same way the DNA molecule, though a highly complex molecule, is of no more value than any other blueprint by itself. This is why if even you were to have DNA molecules floating around in the ocean, this does not constitute intelligent information. This is because there is nothing there to decode the information for an intended intelligent purpose. We call the DNA information only because within the living cell are mechanisms which are able to decipher that code into messenger RNA which is then able to translate it into Protein molecules for a beneficial purpose which means intelligent design. However, there is no useful information in the DNA without the living cell to decode and use it. Not only did God create the DNA molecule but a system which is able to read this blueprint to create and maintain the human body. Paul was right when he said in Romans 1:20, "His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse." Photosynthesis Illustrations 1 Okay! So lets suppose that by some miracle highly complex coded DNA for life did form in the oceans by chance. Where did the highly ordered and specifically directed energy come from to utilize the information in DNA to create highly complex life forms? We have already shown that even if DNA molecules with an intelligent purpose came about by chance that the oxygen in the atmosphere and the ultraviolet light from the sun would destroy it before it could be deciphered to produce any kind of life form. Evolutionists, however, teach that it is through the raw energy of the Sun that living organisms evolved and developed. However, if all we had was the raw energy of the sun to depend on for life, we would all be dead in a short time. The energy of the sun we receive in its raw form is unusable and completely destructive to living organisms, yet we need this energy to live. How then do living organisms utilize the energy of the Sun for life? It is done through a process in plants called photosynthesis. The engines in plants, called photosynthesis, take the raw destructive energy of the sun and turns it into energy that the plants and our bodies are then able to use. Evolutionists cannot explain how this highly complex machinery of plant cells came into existence by chance to utilize the raw energy of the sun. It is impossible to explain it this way or demonstrate it scientifically. From a blade of grass to a giant redwood, 90% of it came from thin air thanks to Photosynthesis. In order for a plant to catch light, many pigment molecules are necessary. These molecules are bound to specific proteins that are arranged in well ordered structures. Each contain as many as 600 chlorophyll molecules that act as antenna for light. These antenna touch the proteins that activate the chemical reactions of photosynthesis called photo-systems. The photo-systems contain a variety of components including specialized chlorophyll termed the reaction center. Light absorbed by pigments of the antenna are transferred extremely rapidly to the reaction center chlorophyll by a process called resonance transfer. Again, these reactions occur very rapidly, as fast as 1 Pico second which is 1 trillionth of a second or 10-12 seconds. The slowest occurs in micro seconds. 1/1,000,000 of a second is a microsecond. By this process billions of tons of carbon atoms are taken from CO2 each year and are made into amino acids, sugars and other organic compounds. It is the amino acids, sugars and other organic compounds that we need for DNA and RNA protein replication to build and maintain our physical bodies. Without plant life these buildings blocks would not exist. If this were true, neither would we be able to survive and exist. This is why God on the third day of creation created the plant life first and the light of the sun on the fourth day before He created the ocean life and animal and human life on the fifth and sixth days. Without plant life and the sun for photosynthesis first, no human or animal life created would have been able to nourish itself to sustain its physical life. All animal life on earth is dependent directly or indirectly on plant life to exist. Animals eat the plants and we eat the animals. This is what I mean by indirectly. If there had been no oxygen In the beginning of life, the ultraviolet light would have destroyed any possible plant life as well. If all plant life on earth was destroyed, in a very short time all animal life would come to extinction. A former biology teacher and close friend of mine, Elroy Robinson, used to say, "Man has not quite reached deity yet, he is still dependent on the lowly green plant." It is not possible for blind chance to put together this incredibly complicated photosynthesis machinery. Evolutionary theory has no means of explaining how this could have possibly come about by chance. Evolutionists are not able to explain how the necessary photosynthesis process came about which was necessary for any kind of life to exist on the earth. Without it, plant life as well as animal life is not able to utilize the energy of the Sun it needs. The Book of Genesis answers this problem completely. It tells us first that God created the earth on the first day, light on the second day and the dry land and plant life on the third day. He did this even before he created the life in the ocean. Why? Because even ocean life is dependent directly or indirectly on plant life to live and survive. He then created the Sun on the fourth day to sustain the plant life. Finally, now that the plant life was present, on the fifth and six days He created the life in the oceans and the animal and human life on the dry land which would then be able to be sustained by the already existing plant life. Then God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb-vegatable340 yielding seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree which has fruit in it yielding seed; it shall be food for you; and to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to every thing that moves on the earth which has in it a living soul, I have given every green herb for food; and it was so." (Genesis 1:29-30) God in the beginning, first, before he created animal life, created plant life with the photosynthesis machinery built in ready and able to take the destructive energy of the sun and turn it into energy our bodies could utilize for our own health and well being. Why then do we now eat meat? Because of the past World wide flood. Before the flood there was a water canopy above the surface of the earth which first filtered out the destructive radiation in space and the ultraviolet light of the Sun. Second, it created an even temperature and green house effect around the earth which made plant life abundant. Under these conditions plant life was profuse enough to feed both man and beast including the dinosaurs. Part of what brought about the flood was the collapse of this water canopy. This means that after the flood, since this water canopy no longer existed, that we are now getting more direct sunlight. Plant life is now not as abundant as it was before the flood. Therefore, in order for man’s survival, after the flood God commanded Noah and his descendants: "And Elohim blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. And the fear of you and the terror of you shall be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky; with everything that creeps on the ground, and all the fish of the sea, into your hand they are given. Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant." (Genesis 9:1-3) This also explains why the dinosaurs died out. After the flood there simply was not enough vegetation available to sustain them. Also after the flood, which I explain scientifically in my book on Genesis,290 there was a 10-15% decrease of oxygen in the atmosphere and half the atmospheric pressure. Without this higher oxygen content and higher atmospheric pressure, the dinosaurs were not able to get the oxygen needed into their deep tissue. Evolutionists and Hollywood portray dinosaurs as vicious meat eaters. The Bible, however, teaches clearly that before the flood that they along with man were all vegetarians. Genesis teaches that before Adam and Eve sinned there was no death in the world. Death and destruction are the consequences, the fruit of sin, not the natural order of things as God intended. Now, in order for man to survive, God has given man all animal life for food also. Next Page
