Life in a Test Tube?
• A little science estranges a man from God. A lot of science brings him back. - Francis Bacon
![Page 3: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Life in Test Tube Cont.
• All the tests produce the wrong kind of amino acids that sustain life.
![Page 4: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Other Problems
• Sidney Fox started with amino acids thus left handed acids.
• Amino acids not hooking up to form peptide bonds, needed to sustain living things.
![Page 5: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Other Problems
• Scientists have to “cheat” to get results.
![Page 6: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Several Cheating scenarios
• Filter out the longer ultraviolet rays
• Trap amino acids as soon as they form to keep them from disintegrating
![Page 7: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Cheating Scenarios
• All the experiments that have produced so much excitement are artificial.
![Page 8: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Not a Chance
• The computer revolution put evolutionary theory to death.
• In 1960’s scientists started writing computer programs to test theory.
![Page 9: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Not a chance
• By 1966 chance theories were being secretly burned.
![Page 10: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
No way
• Life by chance - Same probability as
• Line up 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 blind people.

No Way
• Give them all a rubik’s cube and have them all solve it at exactly the same moment.
![Page 12: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Many are seeing the light - sort of
• Many scientists are accepting the idea of an intelligent “Designer”
• Science is not challenging the Christian faith it is proving it to be true.
• Let’s look at DNA
![Page 13: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
DNA
• This is the language in the heart of a cell.
• DNA is made up of chemicals but it has to be in exactly the right order.
![Page 14: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
DNA
• All creation points toward an intelligent designer.
• Watch argument
![Page 15: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Information Theory
• A field of research that studies the ways information is transmitted.
• Is a message high or low content.
• DNA is high, who wrote it?
![Page 16: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The declaration
• NABT - life is the outcome of “an unsupervised, impersonal, unpredictable, and natural process”
• This takes God out of the picture.
![Page 17: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
The Declaration
• All the pictures and no one has ever witnessed evolution in process
![Page 18: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Breeding
• At first there is a lot of change but eventually the changes level off and there is a line breeders cannot cross.
![Page 19: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Breeding
• As breeding is intensified the organism grows weaker, not stronger.
![Page 20: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Breeding cont.
• When the organism is left to itself it returns to the original.
• Evolution through mutations?
![Page 21: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Breeding
• Most mutations are harmful or lethal to the organism.
• The collection of mutations is devolution
![Page 22: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Irreducible complexity
• This is the concept used to aruge that organisms could not have evolved piecemeal. They would have died.
• Darwin admitted it would be the end of his theory if we could find complex organs that could not evolve in slight modifications.
![Page 23: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
The Bat
• How could it get from rat to bat?
• It would be extinct along the way.
• The Eye - How would is slightly alter over time to become an eye?
![Page 24: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The danger
• Much more at stake than scientific theory.
• Our origin determines our destiny.
• Ethics -what if there is a God?
![Page 25: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
The Law
• Traditionally, a nation’s laws were understood to be based on a transcendent moral order.
![Page 26: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
The Law
• The belief was that “men do not make laws. They do but discover them. Laws… must rest on the eternal foundation of righteousness”
![Page 27: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
WHAT?
• Where did that come from? Calvin Coolidge our thirteenth president.
![Page 28: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
WHAT?
• Education - Dewey argued that our brains are just evolving organs as well. Ideas are just hypothesis - thus the gutting of the academic and moral education today.
![Page 29: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Why did they support it?
• Many of Darwin’s earliest and most ardent supporters were quick to spot the scientific weakness of his theory, yet they chose to champion it because they saw it as a useful means of promoting naturalistic philosophy.
![Page 30: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
It was rigged
• The data proves evolution was not so much about scientific evidence is was more about rationale for naturalism.
• We should all be asking “who is this guy”
![Page 31: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Rigged
• Everyone now realizes that everything stands or falls on the doctrine of creation.
![Page 32: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Let’s line up the evidence
• First - cosmology has discovered not all matter is eternal as naturalist scientists once assumed.
![Page 33: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Evidence
• Second - there are staggering “coincidences” that make the universe fit for life.
![Page 34: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
The evidence
• Third - laboratory experiments touted as proof that life can arise spontaneously, turned out to prove nothing of the sort.
![Page 35: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Evidence
• Fourth - Darwin did not succeed in demonstrating that life developed by natural forces.
![Page 36: Chapters 8-10](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062301/56813da3550346895da76acc/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Christianity
• Is an objective perspective on all reality, a complete worldview.
• Only Christianity consistently stands up to the test of practical living.
