How Did It All Begin?
• “Big Bang”-a big explosion, not sure of the cause-life occurred by spontaneous, self-
generation• Genesis 1:1
-created by our Lord-there was intelligence/a designer that caused life to begin

Which Model Is More Scientific?
• Hypothesis – statement to be tested
• Theory – just a belief until it’s proven to be something else
• Can you repeat creation?
• Can you repeat the big bang?
• These are both theories/world views
• “Expelled”

The universe exploded into existence out of nothing
In the beginning God created
Two Worldviews in Conflict(Check This Out! – The Nature of Science)
EvolutionEvolution BibleBible
Life evolved from a pool of chemicals by natural processes
God created all life
Different life forms evolved from a common ancestor over millions of years
God created all life after its kind

Law of Entropy (2nd Law of Thermodynamics)
• A system (our world) left to itself will deteriorate.
• Things go from a state of order to disorder.
• Evolution states that all life has gone from disorder to order.
• Universe must have been orderly at beginning = CREATION

Time• God created the world in six days• Some believe each day allowed for
evolution• Hebrew word “yom” translated to
mean one night/day cycle – 24 hours• How would plants (day3) have
survived without birds (day5) and insects (day 6) if each day allowed for evolution to happen?

Symbiosis(Relationship between two different living
things)• Flagellates living inside of termites
– Termites eat wood – Flagellates digest it
• Algae growing on polyps– Algae absorb polyps waste and gives
oxygen to polyps• Fish and bacteria living in dark water
– Bacteria glow for fish to be able to see• Cannot have one without the other!• What does this do to Evolution?

Our Solar System
• Mercury – hot, heavy
• Venus – lots of CO2, hotter than mercury, spins backward, clouds of sulphuric acid, lighting bolts
• Mars – cold, 40 degrees below zero, thin atmosphere
• Jupiter – hurricane force winds• Saturn – soupy• Uranus & Neptune – cold and tiny, 350
degrees below zero

The Perfect Planet
• What if….– Earth was tilted 23 degrees?
•1° would cause poles to be much colder
•Equator to be much hotter•½ as much land could be inhabited

The Perfect Planet
• What if….– Planet was smaller?
•Weakened gravity would not hold air or water
•The thinner air would give us no protection from meteorites
•Temperature would drop = no life

The Perfect Planet
• What if….– Planet was larger?
•Things 8x as heavy• would crush things due to weight/pull of gravity
– Twice as far from sun?•¼ amount of current heat•Winter twice as long

The Perfect Planet
• What if….– No moon?
•No tides in the sea•Stagnant water with no oxygen
• Only planet with water
• Our world is just right : )

World in the Making
• “A study of planet Earth raises many questions. Earth was not always the way it is now. Tremendous forces have been at work, shaping and reshaping the surface of our planet. We find evidence of these forces, but even so we know very little about earth’s past.” (P. 35 ICJH)

World in the Making
• Cataclysms on earth?Violent and sudden changes that affect the Earth’s crust–Gaining acceptance in Science
• The flood
![Page 16: In the Beginning……… The Bible It Just Couldn’t Happen A Christian Perspective on Creation Vs. Evolution The Case for a Creator Refuting Evolution Answers](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfa11a28abf838c959a4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
World in the Making• Disappearance of dinosaurs
– After the flood, the world was different
– Harder to survive– Killed by people– Lack of food– Temperature changes in
environment– Still a mystery
![Page 17: In the Beginning……… The Bible It Just Couldn’t Happen A Christian Perspective on Creation Vs. Evolution The Case for a Creator Refuting Evolution Answers](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfa11a28abf838c959a4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
World in the Making• Continental drift – AKA Plate Tectonics
– Continents move 1”/year– At one time were all connected– Evidence of water in the Sahara– Water animal fossils on Mt. Everest– Fit of continents– Flood may have caused this– “Suspect terrain”– Bible doesn’t answer this for us

Fossils
• Petrified- turned to stone as minerals filled up hollows in bones or wood
• Print - footprint in mud turned to stone
• Resin-insect caught in sap turns to amber

Fossils
• Evidence against Evolution:– No fossils to show step-by-step
change– Fossils suddenly appear in strata– Fossils record shows stasis (no
change/progress)
• Check This Out! – Fossils and the Flood

Mysteries of the Earth
• How old is the Earth?- Fossils- Radiometric dating
• Soil– Needed for living things to survive– Needs organic matter – How does this pose a problem for
evolution?• Check This Out! (Radiometric Dating)

Evolution or evolution?• Natural Selection
– Only changes that better help the organism fit into its environment are passed on to offspring
• evolve = something has experienced a slow or gradual change
• Evolution = – life began as chance– all life from one-celled
creatures– over millions of years became
all living creatures we know today
![Page 22: In the Beginning……… The Bible It Just Couldn’t Happen A Christian Perspective on Creation Vs. Evolution The Case for a Creator Refuting Evolution Answers](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfa11a28abf838c959a4/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Evolution or evolutionHomologous
•If something is similar, does that mean it evolved and proves Evolution?•Example: Fish & Dolphin (similar animals)
Fish & DolphinCold Blood vs. Warm Blood
Eggs vs. Live Young Gill vs. Lungs
•God was an intelligent designer!
![Page 23: In the Beginning……… The Bible It Just Couldn’t Happen A Christian Perspective on Creation Vs. Evolution The Case for a Creator Refuting Evolution Answers](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfa11a28abf838c959a4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Evolution or evolution?
• Mutations– Change in the genetic code– Usually are harmful
• What does this mean for Evo?

Probability & DNA
Over 2,000 types of amino acidsOnly 20 are used in life
![Page 25: In the Beginning……… The Bible It Just Couldn’t Happen A Christian Perspective on Creation Vs. Evolution The Case for a Creator Refuting Evolution Answers](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfa11a28abf838c959a4/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Probability & DNA
• In a small protein you would need around 200 amino acids to line up just right.
• The chance of that happening is 1 in 10260.
• Better chance creation did occur.
![Page 26: In the Beginning……… The Bible It Just Couldn’t Happen A Christian Perspective on Creation Vs. Evolution The Case for a Creator Refuting Evolution Answers](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfa11a28abf838c959a4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Life in a Test Tube
• Dr. Jastrow – “two choices, life was created by God or it evolved spontaneously through chemical reactions of nonliving matter.”
• Mix of chemicals– Stanley Miller’s experiment1. Amino acids are only building blocks2. 3 key a.a. have not been made by science3. Many a.a. harmful to life were found in
experiment

Irreducible Complexity• If you remove just one part of a
machine, it would not work at all like this mouse trap
• Can’t reduce the complexity without destroying its function
• You need all of the parts!• Think of the CELL• How does this refute Evolution?
![Page 28: In the Beginning……… The Bible It Just Couldn’t Happen A Christian Perspective on Creation Vs. Evolution The Case for a Creator Refuting Evolution Answers](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062519/5697bfa11a28abf838c959a4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
The Human Race
• All descendants of Noah and wife and three sons and their wives (Gen. 1-11)
• They were to fill the Earth (Gen. 9:1, 11:4)
• God confused their language (Gen 11: 8-9)
• Skin color can show variations in only a few generations since Babel

The Human Race
• Genesis 1:26; 2:7• God made us as separate and special
act of creation – not from an animal• God FORMED us• God gave us a spiritual and physical
part

Romans 1:19-21ORIGIN EVOLUTION GENESIS
The Universe BIG BANG billions of years ago God spoke, and the heavens were created
The Earth It began as a red hot ball that cooled and by chance developed the conditions needed for life
God created Earth and carefully shaped it as a home for living creatures
Plant and Animal Life Chemicals just happened to combine to make life
God spoke and life was created
Different kinds of fish, birds, animals and plants
Tiny living cells somehow multiplied and changed to make varieties of creatures
God created the basic kinds of plants and animals, which were able to reproduce the same kinds
Human Beings People are complex animals who happened to evolve somehow from a different kind of animal millions of years ago
God created the first man and woman in his own image. Humans are different from the animals and are special to God.
