Transcript PowerPoint Session #2

• We are not against true science. We oppose faulty and speculative notions
that are passed off as science.
• Evolution is not science. Evolution must be taken on the basis of faith,
since we cannot observe, test, measure, predict, or repeat the
process.
• We do not think Evolutionists are stupid. I think they are spiritual rebels at
war against God. They use their intellect and reason to resist the
God Who gave them breath and life. They are foolish, willfully
ignorant, and pushing the patience of God, but they are not
intellectual idiots. They are simply acting the way every lost
person does.
• Creationism does not stop scientific inquiry and discovery. There are
hundreds of scientists who do exceptional scientific work and
make discoveries using a creationist perspective of origins.

“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of
the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them
be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:
And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven
to give light upon the earth: and it was so.
And 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. And God set them in the firmament of the
heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the
day and over the night, and to divide the light from the
darkness: and God saw that it was good. And the
evening and the morning were the fourth day.”
~ Genesis 1:14-19 ~
The belief there was once
absolutely nothing. And nothing
happened to the nothing until
nothing magically exploded (for no
reason), creating everything
everwhere. Then a bunch of the
exploded everything magically
rearranged itself (for no reason
whatsoever), into self-replicating
bits which then turned into
dinosaurs.
And they mock
your beliefs…
I don’t have
enough FAITH to
believe this!
1. Something cannot come from nothing.
2. Explosions do not increase order in a system.
3. The Big Bang cannot account for necessary prexisting
conditions (original matter, energy, physical laws, etc.)
4. Prolonged time does not better the odds of beating the Second
Law of Thermodynamics.
5. Mathematically improbable (virtually impossible) to result in a
finely-tuned Universe.
6. Evidence of a relatively recent Universe. (Sun, supernovas, stars,
spinning bodies, clustering)
7. God’s Word says our Universe was created “ex nihilo”.
Something
cannot come
from absolutely
nothing!
Where did the
original material
come from?
Where did the
physical laws
come from?
Where did the
energy to
produce the bang
come from?

“... the observable universe could have
evolved from an infinitesimal region*. It’s
then tempting to go one step further and
speculate that the entire universe evolved
from literally nothing.”
Alan Guth & P. Steinhardt Scientific American, May 1984 p.128
See Darling, David, “On Creating Something from Nothing,” New Scientist, vol. 151 (September 14,
1996).

Neptune have
moons orbiting in both directions.

planets.
If the big bang
theory were true
the matter
would be evenly
distributed.
Instead it is
“lumpy”. There
are clusters of
stars then great
“voids”.
The “big bang”
is a “big dud”.
See Creation Ex Nihilo Dec. 99, p. 8
“But the day of the Lord will come as
a thief in the night, in the which the
heavens shall pass away with a great
noise, and the elements shall melt
with a fervent heat, the earth... shall
be burned up.”
~ II Peter 3:10 ~
It has been estimated
that there are enough
stars for every person
on earth to own
2,000,000,000,000
(2 trillion) of them.
Astronomy and the Bible, Donald DeYoung p. 57
“Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou
hast made heaven, the heaven of
heavens, with all their host, the earth,
and all things that are therein, the seas,
and all that is therein, and thou
preservest them all; and the host of
heaven worshippeth thee.”
~ Nehemiah 9:6 ~

Yet no one has ever seen even
ONE SINGLE STAR
ever form!
If stars evolve, star
births should equal star
deaths.
Novas and supernovas
are star deaths. Many
have been observed.
Where is the evidence
for star births?
ASTRONOMERS
HAVE OBSERVED
THAT ABOUT EVERY
30 YEARS STAR
“DIES” AND
EXPLODES INTO A
SUPER NOVA.
“If you wish
upon a star…
… your
dreams will
come true!”
“It is also a bit disturbing that all
these estimates of the ages and
compositions of the stars rest on
elaborate calculations of what is
going on inside them, but all that
we observe is the light emitted
from their surfaces.”
Astrophysicist Steven Weinberg, “Origins,”
Science 230 (Oct. 4, 1985)
IF THE UNIVERSE IS
BILLIONS OF YEARS OLD,
HOW COME THERE ARE
LESS THAN 300 SUPER
NOVA (DEAD STARS)?
THERE SHOULD BE
SEVERAL HUNDRED
MILLION OF THEM. ARE
THE STARS WRONG, OR
THE EVOLUTION THEORY?
“…If your theory is
found to be against the
Second Law of
Thermodynamics I can
give you no hope;
there is nothing for it
but to collapse in
deepest humiliation.“
Arthur Eddington,
Einstein’s Fellow Scientist &
Colleague
Evolutionary theory
violates the Second
Law. It is the
antithesis of
entropy. It says that
we are in a system
which is being
brought into order
over time.
“And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid
the foundation of the earth; and the heavens
are the works of thine hands: They shall
perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall
wax old as doth a garment; And as a vesture
shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be
changed: but thou art the same, and thy
years shall not fail.”
~ Hebrews 1:10-12 ~
If creationism is true, we
should see unmistakeable
evidence of precision,
complexity, and design
within nature that would
point to an intelligent
Creator.

“I have little
hesitation in
saying that a sickly
pall now hangs
over the big bang
theory.”
Sir Fred Hoyle, astronomer, cosmologist, and
mathematician, Cambridge University, “The
Big Bang Theory Under Attack”, Science
Digest, Vol. 92 May 1984, p. 84
“In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with
God.
All things were made by him; and
without him was not any thing
made that was made.”
~ John 1:1-3 ~
“And to make all men see what is
the fellowship of the mystery,
which from the beginning of the
world hath been hid in God, who
created all things by Jesus Christ:”
~ Ephesians 3:9 ~
“For by him [Jesus] were all things
created, that are in heaven, and that are
in earth, visible and invisible, whether
they be thrones, or dominions, or
principalities, or powers: all things were
created by him, and for him:
And he is before all things, and by him
all things consist.”
~ Colossians 1:16-17 ~
“I am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the ending, saith
the Lord, which is, and which
was, and which is to come, the
Almighty.”
~ Revelation 1:8 ~
“He was in the world, and
the world was made by
him, and the world knew
him not.”
~ John 1:10 ~
“By the word of the LORD
were the heavens made;
and all the host of them by
the breath of his mouth.”
~ Psalm 33:6 ~
“Of old hast thou laid the foundation of
the earth: and the heavens are the work
of thy hands. They shall perish, but
thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall
wax old like a garment; as a vesture
shalt thou change them, and they shall
be changed: But thou art the same, and
thy years shall have no end.”
~ Psalm 102:25-27 ~
“I have made the earth, and
created man upon it: I, even
my hands, have stretched
out the heavens, and all their
host have I commanded.”
~ Isaiah 45:12 ~
“For thus saith the LORD that
created the heavens; God himself
that formed the earth and made it;
he hath established it, he created it
not in vain, he formed it to be
inhabited: I am the LORD; and
there is none else.”
~ Isaiah 45:18 ~
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to
receive glory and honour and
power: for thou hast created all
things, and for thy pleasure
they are and were created.”
~ Revelation 4:11 ~
• Then I am recycled molecules…a
mistake, really.
• Then I am a special creation …made
in the image of God.
• Then I serve no purpose. I am just a
link in an endless chain with
no meaningful existence.
• Then I serve an ultimate purpose.
My Designer has suited me
for a grand purpose.
• Then I have no standard for moral
behavior. If survival of the
fittest is true, the only moral
value is…survive.
• Then I have a standard for moral
behavior. If He is the Creator,
He makes all the rules.
• Then this life is all that I have. I might
as well live it up.
• Then there is no authority except for
myself. I determine my own
morality.
VS
• Then this life is not all that I have.
• Then God is the ultimate Sovereign
Authority. He has a right to
expect obedience from His
creation.
