Transcript 6 - In the Beginning: Science and Genesis 1-11

In the Beginning: Science and
Genesis 1-11
“If the foundations are destroyed, what can the
righteous do?“ Psalm 11:3
Evolutionists believe the earth is about 4.5 billion
years old.
They also believe the base rock of the earth,
granite, took 300 million years to cool into rock
from its original molten form.
Radioactive Decay

Half-life:
The time required for half the atoms in any
collection to decay.
If 1000 atoms exist at a certain time, then only 500
atoms will remain after 1 half-life, 250 after 2, 125
after 3, 62 after 4, 31 after 5, 15 after 6, and 7 after 7.

Half Lives
If Carbon 14 has a half-life of about 5700 years,
and assuming uniformitarianism is true (it isn’t),
how far back can C14 be used for dating
something?
Approximately 5700 years x 10 = 57,000 or
approximately 60,000 years.
Polonium Radiogenic Halos
Polonium 210 has a half-life of 138.4 days.
To see evidence of it in the granite means that the
rock would have to harden before that radioactive
isotope had fully decayed or there would be no trace
of it in the rock!
Radioactive Decay – an Example
Polonium 210 has a half-life of 138.4 days.
138.4 days times 7=968.8 days, or less than 3 years.
So much for the evolutionary assumption of 300
millions years!
But, what does Gen. 1:8, 9-10, 13 say?
We just disproved the Bible!
But, granite also contains
Polonium 214!
The half-life of P214 is?
The half-life of P214 is 64 microseconds -
that’s .000164 of a second!
Psalm 33:9
“For He spoke, and it was done;
He commanded, and it stood fast.”
Genesis 1:11

“Then God said, “Let the earth sprout
vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit
trees bearing fruit after their kind, with
seed in them, on the earth”; and it was so.”
Genesis 1:12-13
“And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants
yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing
fruit, with seed in them, after their kind, and God
saw that it was good. And there was evening and
there was morning, a third day.”
It’s Quiz Time!!
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
The chicken came before the egg!
A seed ,also referred to as a kernel in some plants,
is a small embryonic plant enclosed in a covering
called the seed coat, usually with some stored
food. It is the product of the ripened ovule of
plants which occurs after fertilization and some
growth within the mother plant. The formation of
the seed completes the process of reproduction in
seed plants (started with the development of
flowers and pollination.

Genesis 1:14 & 15
“Then God said, “let there be lights in the
expanse of the heavens to separate 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 expanse of the heavens to give
light on the earth”; and it was so.”

expanse of the heavens to separate 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 expanse of the heavens to give
light on the earth”; and it was so.”

Sign (Hebrew):
“A signal, as a flag, beacon,
monument, omen.”
Genesis 3:15
“And I will put enmity between you and the
woman, and between your seed and her
seed; He shall bruise you on the head, and
you shall bruise him on the heel.”
Genesis 1:16-19
“And God made the two great lights, the greater light to
govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night;
He made the stars also. And God placed them in the
expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth, and to
govern the day and the night, and to separate the light
from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. And
there was evening and there was morning, a fourth day.”
The Moon
The Age of the Sun
40% Brighter

Energy by thermonuclear fusion (hydrogen to helium)

The core of the sun should alter and the sun should grow
brighter with age

If the sun is 4.6 byo, it should have brightened by about 40%
The Sun and Life
Looking backwards:
Earth’s average temperature today is 59º F or 15º C
A 25% decrease in brightness decreases the average
temperature by about 32O F (18O C)
(59o – 32o = 27o F (3.5 billion years ago)
The origination of life would be impossible!
Seven of the eight planets of our solar system follow
highly circular orbits, despite the fact that NASA must
plan with great precision to put a satellite into a nearly
circular orbit and have difficulty keeping it there very
long. Modern theories predict our planets should
have developed abnormalities in their orbits long ago,
producing wildly elliptical orbits.
There is no natural reason why the outward force
produced by this revolving should so perfectly
counterbalance gravitation, except that if it didn’t, all
these spinning systems would either crash in on
themselves or fly apart.
Note Again Colossians 1:16&17
Colossians 1:16&17
“For by him all things were created, both in the
heavens and on the earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or rulers or
authorities - all things have been created by Him,
and for him; and He is before all things, and in
Him all things hold together.”
If Jupiter had fallen into such an orbit, it
would bring showers of asteroids into our
planet’s path. Instead, Jupiter serves as a
cosmic vacuum cleaner, attracting asteroids
and comets to itself and keeping our earth’s
path clear for extended periods.
A heat problem for evolutionists:
Jupiter emits twice as much radiation as it receives from
the sun, while Neptune emits 2.7 times as much as it
receives. Yet, if our solar system was billions of years
old, both should be cold planets by now, but they aren’t.

Genesis 1:16-19
“And God made the two great lights, the greater
light to govern the day, and the lesser light to
govern the night; He made the stars also.
(Oops!)
Gen. 1:16
 “He
made the stars also.”

“The most incomprehensible thing about the
universe is that it is comprehensible.”
The Fine-Tuning of the Universe

There are over sixty parameters in the universe
and our galaxy that must have values falling
within narrowly defined ranges for life of any
kind to exist at any time in the history of the
universe.
Fine Tuning of the Universe
A 1” cube contains a billion, billion, billion
atoms. Let’s see what that looks like.
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
If the strength of the gravitational force were
altered by a mere one part in 10 to the 40th
power (wow!), stars like the sun would not
exist, nor would any form of life that depends
on solar-type stars for sustenance.

Galaxy Formation
Spiral Galaxies
Milky Way Galaxy
Russell Humphreys, Ph.D. Physics, Evidence for a Young World
“The stars of our own galaxy, the Milky Way, rotate about the
galactic center with different speeds, the inner ones rotating
faster than the outer ones. The observed rotation speeds are so
fast that if our galaxy were more than a few hundred million
years old, it would be a featureless disc of stars instead of its
present spiral shape.”
Star Nurseries
Do pictures confirm stars are forming?
Eagle nebula
Star Formation
“The complete birth of a star has never been
observed. The principles of physics demand some
special conditions for star formation and also for a
long time period. A cloud of hydrogen gas must be
compressed to a sufficiently small size so that
gravity dominates.”
“In space, however, almost every gas cloud is light-years
in size, hundreds of times greater than the critical size
needed for a stable star. As a result, outward gas
pressures cause these clouds to spread out farther, not
contract.”

There are 100 billion galaxies with an average
of 200 billion stars per galaxy.
Let’s give the evolutionist a break an assume
the universe is supposedly 20 billion years old
instead of 13.5 billion.
Star Formation –
A problem for the Big Bang

There are 100 billion galaxies with an average of
200 billion stars per galaxy. That’s 200 quintillion
(200,000,000,000,000,000,000) stars!
Let’s give the evolutionist a break an assume the
universe is supposedly 20 billion years old instead
of 14.5 billion.
Star Formation and Time – Big Bang Problem!
100 billion galaxies (1011)
200 billion stars per galaxy (2x1011)
Universe 20 billion years old (2x1010)
Calculation of Star Formation:

1 trillion stars
formed per
year!
2.7 billion stars being formed per day!
31,700 stars being formed per second!
No one has ever observed a star being formed!
