A debate was scheduled at the Oxford Museum of Natural History between Atheist Richard Dawkins and Christian Denesh DeSuza, who was called away at the last minute for a family emergency. Luckily Dr. John Lennox was in the crowd and graciously accepted the offer to take DeSuza's place. Much to Richard Dawkins shagrin.
You see, the two of them debated once before, and Dawkins has apparently been reluctant to debate Lennox ever since.
Darwin didn't know in 1838 what we know now after decades of scientific research.
The missing link on which Darwin's theory depends, never existed.
Darwin's theory has evolved into an epic fail.
Darwin's"science" can't pass the test of scientific method.
Darwin's theory of "Differences of Kind" does not stand up to it's own test of ,"Observable Evidence".
Darwin's theory unravels with the introduction of "millions of years" thus again failing the "Observable Evidence" test.
Darwin's "finches" show only adaptation, not what Darwin theorized to be "Differences of Kind".
Neither biology or the fossil record show any proof in the form of "Observable Evidence" of "Differences of Kind" or transitional links in kinds among the 14 species of living things.
As time goes on, the evolution of scientific sophistication and accumulation of scientific evidence only confirms what we were told in the beginning.
Compare this digital rendering of Human DNA with the stained glass window below it. DNA is magnificently ordered. Information with order is proof of intelligent origin.
The book of Genesis in the Bible records that God spoke all things into existence. God spoke and it was. DNA is an echo of what God said.
The question of origin is one of the biggest questions in life.
The answer to the source of life, our origin, could help answer the other big questions of, meaning, morality, and destiny.
The problem is that ideas and theories formed before the discovery of DNA.
And the facts about DNA unfolded little by little over decades, almost completely without being noticed for the deepest meaning of DNA.
Darwin formed his theory of Evolution long before DNA was even discovered, and even longer before we would discover the complexity of DNA.
DNA is not a complexity that is born out of randomness, but it is a complexity that is highly sophisticated and ordered.
In fact, the complexity of DNA transcends the realm of science and ushers us into the realm of the miraculous. Scientists agree despite themselves.
believed aliens must have brought DNA to Earth.
But in time we would learn that even Crick's theory of alien supreme beings sending life on our planet only moves the question of a intelligent engineer / creator back one step without answering the question at all.
We are left to then ask, who was the supreme being who engineered and created the aliens ?
Later Crick would partially concede by calling the presence of life as we know it, Almost a miracle.
The issue here is that the universe is not old enough for random chance to assemble our level of complexity, and the same is then true for all life in the universe, such as alien life forms.
Mathematicians cannot find evidence to support Darwin's theory of Evolution. On the contrary. When they calculated the odds of time plus matter plus chance arriving at complex human protein formation, they discovered the odds of Darwin's theory are,"beyond ridiculous". Even with 13 billion years since the Big Bang, our human proteins could not have formed by chance.
But we have understood far more about human proteins than we understand about our DNA language, which appears far more complex than proteins. Yes, DNA is a language. Remember that God spoke all things into existence?
One recent discovery, for example, is that geneticists recently found another layer of DNA that was previously "hidden" , it works in harmony with the previously known DNA.
And before that, scientists discovered that DNA that was labeled as unnecessary or "junk DNA" , is in fact absolutely necessary and serves functions we could not have previously envisioned.
It took years to map Human DNA, but mapping DNA is not understanding DNA. Scientists who know DNA best say that understanding the DNA language will keep them busy for the next 100 years.
Even if the universe was several times older than 13 billion years, the complexity of DNA could not have formed by random chance.
To put it in contrast, we are told that the universe has 10 to the 85th power total atoms. That's the number ten followed by 85 zeros. A big number for sure.
Now picture a number 471 times bigger than that. That is the odds that life came into being by Darwinian random chance. It really is beyond ridiculous. That is 10 to the 40,000th power against Darwinian theory.
Even if the the presence of carbon in the universe halved that number, as some proposed, it would still be beyond ridiculous to believe Darwin.
Each strand of DNA contains 3.1 Billion bits of highly ordered information. The recently discovered additional layer of hidden DNA will no doubt increase that number above the 3.1 Billion bits of information. Our universe is 13 billion years old. You don't have to be a mathematical genius to see evolutionary random chance simply could not have the time to assemble our DNA.
Even Hawking can't understand the complexity of why the universe goes to,"all the bother of existing".
Apparently Hawking discovered that in the properties of the laws of physics, the big bang had to be precise withing 1 Quintillionth of a second or the universe would have immediately re-collapsed on itself.
This was only one of some 31 contingent events that all had to happen with such exact properties and in precise correlation to each of the other that it would take more faith to believe the Big Bang happened by mere random chance than it would to believe the Big Bang was carefully orchestrated by God.
Hawking confidently stated that the universe didn't need God?
Why does the scientific society cling to old scientific theories that have been proven false by newer scientific fact ?
That question is an even tougher one to answer.
What we now know about DNA means that it takes more faith to believe in evolution than to believe that God is our Creator.
As time goes on and scientific gains are made in all areas of proven scientific fact, all facts increasingly support the miraculous and Biblical account of God as Author and Creator.
Science really is discovering how God did it.
God spoke, and it was, and at the core of life DNA echoes what God said. Information with order equals intelligence. The all knowing intelligence of God.
Consider this. God made us for a relationship with Him. And God has gone to even greater lengths to make a way for us back to Him.
As it is written in God's word about Jesus in the Bible.
"giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light.
So what happens when a previously free society no longer accepts Absolute Truth?
If; "You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free," then to deny the truth means you will loose your freedom.
Government becomes a kind of god because selfish people no longer behave responsibly with their freedoms.
Government takes more and more.
The people stop providing for themselves and become slaves to the government.
Totalitarianism is inevitable to those who deny truth and the personal responsibility that comes with knowledge of the Truth.
Freedom cannot survive as our one and only truth.
Freedom is the result of acceptance and application of Truth.
Without it we are slaves.
