We can explore the tiny, one celled animals or investigate the huge vastness of space and see intricate, definite design - if we are willing to see it. Where we see design we know there must be a Designer! Evolution argues against a Designer. Whether it is plain evolution or theistic evolution, both argue against a Designer. They both, also, argue against the beginning chapters of Genesis.
Genesis says, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Paul Gentuso was studying the human hand as an evolutionist, but he said the more he studied (removing skin, muscles, etc.) the more he saw how wonderfully the hand worked. "The tendons of the hand are aligned in tendon sheaths, like self-lubrecating pulleys, allowing the hand to work in a tireless, noiseless fashion. It was perfectly designed to carry out all the work it was called to do.... The effect on Paul was to show him that there was a Creator who created man with definite design. Paul later became a Christian and served as a missionary in Africa. He is one of many who have studied medicine or science and were willing to see what was presented to them had to have been created by design. Even some who will not admit that there is a God have come to admit that there is what they call "intelligent design". One such scientist is Dr. Dean Kenyon, a tenured molecular biology professor at San Francisco State University. He wrote a text book based on basic evolutionary thought. He later, after much more investigation into the origin of life, wrote another textbook which shows that he..."no longer believe(s) that the arguments in "Biochemical Predestination" and in similar books by other authors add up to an adequate defense of the view that life arose spontaneously on this planet from non-living matter." His new book is titled "Of Pandas and People" and although he doesn't mention God or creation, he proposes an "intelligent design". Hopefully, one day, he will be willing to accept this "intelligent designer" as God and believe in Jesus Christ as his own Saviour.
The more scientists study creation, they must keep changing their theories, but the Bible has stood the tests of time and, though it has been accused repeatedly of being wrong by men, it has been proven to be correct almost all of the time and the few times not proven yet, will prove the Bible true yet again. "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."(Psalms 19;1-3) Also, read Romans 1:20.
Even the fact that the universe exists speaks of a Creator. Evolutionists feel that everything started with a "Big Bang". Where'd the bang come from? From an exploding speck of matter. Where did the speck come from? They don't know! Yet they base their entire theory on it. As mentioned, some scientists are beginning to move away from that theory to "intelligent design". One reason may be that they've heard too much convincing argument against it, which shows how wrong they've been. One argument R.C. Sproul, who lectures on apologetics, wrote. "For something to come from nothing it must, in effect, create itself. Self-creation is a logical and rational impossibility....For something to create itself, it must be before it is."!(from R.C. Sproul, "Not a Chance"(Grand Rapids: Baker Book House, 1994.) Can you picture in your mind anything suddenly appearing before you--out of thin air? Not from someone putting it there, but appearing on its own? Would you call it science if someone told you it happened to them?
Here's a very interesting quote from the founder and director of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies in New York from Robert Morgan's book "Beyond Reasonable Doubt" Dr Robert Jastrow says, "For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."
Everything that happens in our universe happens because something caused it. So with all creation, something caused(created) it. That Something(Someone) is God.
Sincerely,
Rick
