God is Bigger Than Science

God is Bigger Than Science God created everything out of nothing. u He can speak things into existence by His great power (Jer 32: 17, Ps 33: 6, 9). u He caused a worldwide flood. u He parted the red Sea. u He instantly created languages – tower of Babel. u He destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. u

He turned Lot’s wife turned into a pillar of salt. u He made the walls of Jericho fall down at His command. u He delivered Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed nego from a fiery furnace. u He caused a bush to burn and not be consumed. u He made a donkey speak. u He turned water into wine. u

He has the power to instantly heal the sick, crippled and blind. u He can instantly calm storms. u He can raise people from the dead (Lazarus). u He can feed 5, 000 with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. u He can be dead for three days and come back to life (Resurrection). u Only He can save people from eternal punishment. u

How Big Is God? He is beyond our scientific explanations Question Why do so many Christians not believe He created everything in six literal days as the Bible teaches (Gen 1; Ex 20: 11, 31: 17)? Why are we looking for signs to believe? John 4: 48 John 6: 30 John 2: 18 Luke 16: 31

Is the origin of life by naturalistic processes possible (probable)? 1. How successful have scientists been in creating life (a living cell)? 2. What is the probability that such an event could occur by a series of random chance events?

Six requirements that affect the formation of a single protein

1. Only 20 different amino acids are used in life 2. Amino acids come in two shapes Only left handed amino acids are used in biological proteins

1. Only 20 different amino acids are used in life 2. Amino acids come in two shapes 3. Amino acids must be in the right order 4. The “primordial soup” would be diluted 5. We need an energy source 6. The problem of oxygen and water

Flipping a Penny How many heads in a row are we willing to accept as a chance occurrence?

What are the chances of getting all heads every time we flip a penny 1 head? 1 in 2 2 heads in a row? 1 in 4 3 heads in a row? 1 in 8 8 heads in a row? 1 in 256 100 heads in a row? 2100 or 1030 300 million times a second

Amino Acids The chances of getting all heads 100 times in a row is similar to the chance of getting 100 left handed amino acids to form a biological protein. Proteins range in size from about 50 to over 30, 000 amino acids.

The probability of getting a small protein of 100 left handed amino acids is 10 30 1, 000, 000, 000 How believable is this? (Credulity Factor)

But wait, there’s more!

This number 1030 only measures the possibility of getting all left handed amino acids. Order is important. We have to get all 100 amino acids in the right order. AA 1 AA 2 AA 3 AA 4 AA 5 AA 6…

God Made the BIG Things

Genesis 1: 16 Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also. Why don’t all Christians believe this?

The Origin of Stars: Textbook Earth Science: Geology, the Environment, and the Universe, Glencoe and Mc. Graw Hill, 2002, p. 822. “All stars form in much the same manner as the Sun did. The formation of a star begins with a cloud of interstellar gas and dust, called a nebula, which collapses on itself as a result of its own gravity…. The condensed object will become a new star. ”

Ask an Astronomer “I don't think anyone has ever observed a star ‘turning on’ like a switch has been flicked. Even though star formation can happen quite ‘quickly’ compared to other astronomical events, it still can take hundreds of thousands of years for a molecular cloud to collapse and form stars. ” Ask An Astronomer, June 27, 2015 http: //curious. astro. cornell. edu/for teachers/

Star Formation and Physics The popular idea is that stars form from vast clouds of gas and dust through gravitational contraction. Nebula

John Hartnett (Ph. D. Physics), Dismantling the Big Bang, 2005, p. 144. “Without ‘something else’ the outward pressure due to kinetic energy of the gas molecules in the cloud is so much greater than the inward pressure due to the mutual gravitational attraction of the cloud that the resulting net outward pressure would cause the gas cloud to disperse rather than collapse. ”

Jason Lisle (Ph. D. Astrophysics), The New Answers Book 3, 2009, p 193. “Gas in space is very resistant to being compressed into a star. Compression of gas causes an increase in magnetic field strength, gas pressure, and angular momentum, ”

Abraham Loeb, (Harvard Center for Astrophysics), quoted by Marcus Chown, “Let there be Light”, New Scientist, Feb 7, 1998. “The truth is that we don’t understand star formation at a fundamental level. ”

Psalm 33: 6, 9 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And all the host of them by the breath of His mouth. For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast.
