Likelihood of spontaneous Life
The problem with most theories for the Origin of life, is that even
with all the ingredients needed to build life in some primeordeal
soup, the odds of them combining in the right sequence to create
a primitive self-replicating structure are slim. Chemists and
biologists look for ways that a primitive self-replicating structure,
such as a rudimentary RNA enzyme, or ribozyme, might spring
up naturally.
Yet even a primitive ribozyme is a complicated structure,
requiring 165 base-pair molecules to be strung together in the
right order. In fact 4165 possible structures – most of which are not
self replicators – could be made from the same starting ingredients.
4165 is more than the number of electrons in the Universe.

Laws of Change
Laws of change
Of old You laid the foundation of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of Your
hands. They will perish, but You will
endure; yes, all of them will grow old like a
garment; like a cloak You will change them,
and they will be changed. But You are the
same, and Your years will have no end.
Psalm 102:25-27

How old is the earth?

Earth's Magnetic Field Is
Fading

Earth's magnetic field is fading.
Today it is about 10 percent
weaker than it was when
German mathematician Carl
Friedrich Gauss started keeping
tabs on it in 1845, scientists say.
How old is the earth?

Young Earth
• The earth’s crust is about 12 miles thick on average.
• In a universe that approaches absolute zero, which is -459
degrees F.
• The earth has a hot core that is over 7,000 degrees F.
• Hot lava bursts out of the earth's crust from volcanos all
around the world on a regular basis!
• If the earth were billions of years old, it should have turned
into an ice ball long ago, many times over.
Carbon 14 Dating
“The troubles of the radiocarbon dating method are undeniably deep and
serious. Despite 35 years of technological refinement and better
understanding, the underlying assumptions have been strongly
challenged, and warnings are out that radiocarbon may soon find itself
in a crisis situation. Continuing use of the method depends on a “fix it
as we go” approach, allowing for contamination here, fractionation
there, and calibration whenever possible. It should be no surprise, then,
that fully half of the dates are rejected. The wonder is, surely, that the
remaining half come to be accepted.
No matter how ‘useful’ it is, though, the radiocarbon method is still not
capable of yielding accurate and reliable results. There are gross
discrepancies, the chronology is uneven and relative, and the accepted
dates are actually selected dates.”

of Canada, Vol. 19, No. 3, 1981, pp9,29.]

The Fossil Records
The Primeval World -- Fossils,
Geology & Earth History
•Cambrian Rocks show at last 2,000 species
•Precambrian rocks are devoid of fossils
•Vertebrate fish have no links
•Amphibians have no links
•A gap between the amphibians and the reptiles is found
•Mammals are assumed to have evolved from the reptiles, but
no links
Hypothesis
The Primeval World -- Fossils,
Geology & Earth History
Creation:
1. Life was created rapidly
2. The kinds have impassable genetic boundaries.
3. The major part of the fossiliferous sedimentary rock was deposited in one
or more global catastrophic events.
4. The creation occurred around B.C. 4,000
The Primeval World -- Fossils,
Geology & Earth History
Evolution:
1. The earth came into being through extremely slow processes.
2. Original single-celled organisms arose spontaneously and then evolved to
produce all species of plants and animals.
3. The earth's surface and crust were produced very slowly by the same
processes and at similar rates to those observed today.
4. The ages of the universe, the earth and life on earth are measured in billions
of years.

volution or
reation?
• Intelligent, Purposeful Design in Nature
• Science proves the Bible true, not evolution
• The Universe around is decays, not evolves
• Physical Scientific Laws do not allow Evolution
• Evidence points to a young earth
• The probability of random creation is zero
• The assumptions of Evolution are flawed
• Fossil records correspond to creation
