Transcript The Mystery of Life: Does God Exist?

There are 20
amino acids
which in various
arrangements
creates over 30,000
different protein
molecules which are
the basis of life…
Does God Exist or did everything
happen by chance?
400 or more protein
molecules are
needed in the
smallest self
sustaining cell
of life
The foundation of life…amino Acids
Do you believe in evolution?
• If you believe that non living matter came into
being through a big bang or other method on its
own…
• If you believe that non living matter brought
living forms into existence…
• If you believe that spontaneously life emerged
and developed over periods of time into the
varied and complex life we know around
us…then YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES!
• We believe in miracles too…
Chance is another Word for
MIRACLE!
There are 100 Trillion Cells in the Human Body
containing tens of thousands of protein
molecules directed by amino acids:

Nerve Cells
Blood Cells
Tissue Cells
Photosensitive Cells
Skin Cells
Brain Cells
Organ Cells
Bone Marrow Cells…
“We have seen that living things are
too improbable and too
beautifully “designed” to have come
into existence by chance.”
Dr. Richard Dawkins, Oxford Univ. The Blind
Watchmaker. (An evolutionist)
Common sense tells us that Design requires a
DESIGNER
• Order requires
an ORDERER
• Information
requires
INTELLIGENCE
• Programs
require
PROGRAMERS
How Much Information is needed?
It takes stacked books from the Moon to the Earth…
The amount of
information
contained in the
smallest cell is
unbelievable!
This Computer graphic image
shows DNA’s double helix formation
with only four letters being used to
arrange and communicate the ton of
information found within its
structure.
What if eight letters or
26 had been used the
information would be
multiplied exponentially.
Fact: DNA & RNA must CO-EXIST
• Millions of bits of
DNA information
must be read by
Millions of RNA which
is produced by DNA
which is read by
RNA… which…
• (Which came first?
One cannot function
without the other…)
The Code must be organized,
readable, and understandable…A
tremendous amount of information
contained in each cell is read and
understood by what intelligence?
Complexity in the Smallest cell is overwhelming…
• Each part
needs to be
the right
size,
shape, and
material;
put together
in the right
way…or it
will not
live.
Molecular Machines
• Each Cell contains
microscopic machines:
-Conversion of food
-Transportation of resources
-Transcription of information
-Manufacturing of proteins
-Replication of DNA
-Distribution
-Waste Disposal
-Gate Keepers…etc, etc…
The Body’s Energy Source is Amazing…
• ATP are the
molecular machines
through out our
bodies that
produce the
enzymes and
energy we need
millions of times
each day in a
matter of
seconds…
without them
we’d die.
Computer graphic
Microscopic in
size they rotate
10,000 times a
minute and each
rotation produces
3 ATP
molecules…
Discovered in the
last decade, the
energy source for
our lives come from
these ATP
molecular
machines! Made of
1,000’s of
components there
are innumerous
ATP machines in
our bodies.
Cyanide
Poison breaks
the bond of
ATP…death
results in 30
seconds!

Evolution claims two processes known today as Natural Selection and
Mutation to be responsible for evolving life…
• Despite the facts that both of these known
processes DO NOT evolve anything…in truth
they both work in the opposite direction
required by evolution…
• There is NO KNOWN natural process that
increases information, expands gene
production, or provides the upward biological
growth needed for simple life forms turning into
more complex forms of life.
Natural Selection only works on what already
exists…
It is a decrease
in information
It is a separation
of the gene
pool…
It isolates the
genes from
the kinds…
Variations in Kinds: Natural Selection
• It all depends on
what the original
parents…or the
original kinds were
• God placed a great
deal of variety with
each kind…
• MUTATIONS ARE
COPYING
ERRORS AND
ALWAYS A LOSS
OF INFORMATION.
Too Much Information is needed for chance or randomness to
provide for life’s origin…
• Volumes of books
of information are
needed for the
simplest of life
forms in order to
survive…
• It is Irreducible
complexity that
evolution can’t
explain…
The Mouse Trap example…
Irreducible Complexity means that
no part of this mouse
trap can be missing in
order for it to function
and survive…all parts
must be in proper
relationship to each
other…now multiply this
truth by thousands in
order to grasp all that is
needed in the simplest
cell…it is not simple at
all!
Built in the Right Way…the construction of a house is generally a step by step process
so also is the living cell…DNA are the blueprints
Life Requires:
The right kind of
Living (GB’s or lots
& lots) Material AND
the right kind of
Energy AND the
right kind of
Information
-Structured
-Ordered
-Designed
Consider also that LIFE is far more than just biological…it is far
more than just chemical reactions.
• Evolution is bankrupt in being able to explain the
biological origins of life
• It is no where close to being able to explain the
NON-PHYSICAL (metaphysical) aspects of life
which we all know and enjoy…
What about
emotions? Love, Joy,
peace, kindness,
appreciation…
What about
imagination,
thought,
reason, fear,
comfort?
What about
Conscience, right
or wrong,
worship, praise?
What about pride, beauty,
play, pleasure, fun, sports,
entertainment?
What about the human
spirit, heart, awareness,
language, fellowship,
community, being
alone?
What about
planning,
creativity, design,
production,
accomplishment?
What about
judgment,
accountability,
consequences, sin?
What about wonder,
amazement, desire
to live, glory,
majesty, grandeur?
What about questions like why
are we here? Where are we
going? Where did life or
material come from?
It is a CHOICE we make…a
perspective we choose!
Ultimately PEOPLE CHOOSE
NOT TO BELIEVE…
“…I have come
that they might
have life and
have it
abundantly.”
John 10:10
Jesus said: “I am the Way,
the Truth, and the Life; No
one comes to the Father
except by Me.” John 14:6
• Our God (creator)
comes to us…as a
human being why?
To seek and to find
that which was lost to
Him.
• He destroys the wall
of sin separating us
by taking the issue
upon Himself (a
sacrifice for the sins of
the world).
• Jesus fulfilled God’s
promise to save us
from the consequences of sin and
condemnation…
• Is it really that
hard to believe?
• An Intelligent,
designer,
programmer,
director, creator is
behind life…AND
He comes to us?
• Further, Jesus
Christ did what
no one else
could do…or has
done
He Healed the
blind and
lame…calmed
storms &
seas…
He Raised the dead,
multitudes
were made
well…
He cast out
demons and
ultimately…
He fulfilled 300
prophecies…and he
performed miracles,
signs, and
wonders…(See Two
Proofs on this DVD)
• Jesus rose from the
dead!
• The empty tomb
(guarded by 16
Roman Soldiers)
proves He is
alive…His
detractors/enemi
es never
produced his
dead body.
• Millions have
been born again!
• Who is this
Designer?
Who is this Designer?
• Who is this King of glory?
• The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord
mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O you
gates!
• Lift up you everlasting doors! And the King
of glory shall come in.
• Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts,
He is the King of glory. Psalm 24:8-10
The Mystery of Life?
• God
coming to
us as one
of us, the
baby Jesus
born of the
virgin Mary
another
miracle…
The Mystery of Life?
• To them God willed to make known what
are the riches of the glory of this mystery
among the Gentiles: which is Christ in
you, the hope of glory! Col. 1:27
• He who has the Son has life; he who
does not have the Son of God does not
have life. I John 5:12
The Mystery of Life?
•
•
•
•
God coming to us
God saving us
God being born into our hearts
God loving and coming again for us
• Do you know this mystery? You can know
it…someone came to us; we are coming to you.
• See the topic on this DVD: “What does it mean to be born
again?”
