Why Evolution Doesn’t Work

And Why Creation Does Work

• Micro-Evolution – Variation of the Species or adaptation • Macro-Evolution – Life began billions of years ago with simple single-cell creatures brewed in a gooey soup and then developed through mutation and natural selection into the vast array of plant and animal life that populate the planet.

lack of fossil 1. The _____ evidence _____ for the transitions between various species of animals.

“There are two or three million species on earth. A sufficient field one might think for observation; but it must be said today that in spite of all the evidence of trained observers, not one change of the species to another is on record. ” Darwin in Life and Letters, Vol. 3, p. 25.

God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1: 25 (NIV)

The lack of fossil evidence - ___ Evolution + ___ Creation

Irreducible 2. _____ complexity.

Systems cannot be broken down into smaller yet functioning systems – nothing functions once you reach a certain point.

“If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down. ” Darwin

There are 40 functioning parts needed to make an eye work and that doesn’t include a brain to interpret the data.

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. ” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Genesis 1: 26 -27 (NIV)

Irreducible Complexity - ___ Evolution + ___ Creation

3. The 2 nd Law of Thermodynamics ______.

Basically the 2 nd Law of Thermodynamics says that in any system, energy moves from order to disorder. Things tend to break down into the lesscomplicated rather than increase in complexity.

Evolution says, “Given enough time, anything is possible. ”

“Each cell in the human body contains more information than in all thirty volumes of the Encyclopedia Britannica. It’s certainly reasonable to make the inference that this isn’t the random product of unguided nature, but its’ the unmistakable sign of an Intelligent Designer. ” Dr. Walter Bradley

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Psalm 19: 1 -3 (NIV)

nd 2 Law of Thermodynamics - ___ Evolution + ___ Creation

origins 4. The _____ of life.

“The origin of life is the Achilles heel of evolution. ” Lee Strobel

2 10 =100 6 10 =1, 000 (million) 109=1, 000, 000 (billion) 1012=1, 000, 000 (trillion)

10160= 10, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000, 000

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. Psalm 139: 14 (NIV)

In the beginning God created… Genesis 1: 1 (NIV)

“The conclusion of intelligent design flows naturally from the data itself – not from sacred books or sectarian beliefs… The reluctance of science to embrace the conclusion of intelligent design … has no justifiable foundation … many people, including many important and well-respected scientist, just don’t want there to be anything beyond nature. ” Michael Behe, biochemist at Lehigh University, in Darwin’s Black Box

Origins of Life - ___ Evolution + ___ Creation

5. Following true science _______.

The definition of science is the study of that which is observable and repeatable.

No matter how hard they try, no one has been able to observe or replicate the necessary processes for evolution.

Romans 1: 20 -21, 25 (NIV)

Following True Science - ___ Evolution +___ Creation

Evolution is ultimately idolatry – it attributes the creative power of the almighty God to the forces of nature.

Creation answers three basic questions: 1. What is the origin of life? --In the beginning, God…

2. What is the meaning of life? --You’re not here by accident; you’re here by God’s design. God made you for the purpose of having fellowship with Him, glorifying Him, and living eternally with Him.

3. What is the value of life? --God loves us and therefore life is sacred
