Some smart evolution-talk : )

Hi :)

If you don't understand this science-stuff, it's all-right : ) To believe in God is easier : ) But this arthicle was interresting though : )

PS! This is borrowed stuff from Roger Aubrey's blog : )

In the Beginning

Thanks to Chris Hamer-Hodges for his comment on creationism/evolutionism. I thought it would was so good (not that I understood it all - I'm not a scientist) I felt it needed to be up here in a post. Thanks Chris. This is what he wrote...

All theories have fundamental axioms upon which they are based. For the atheist there is no option but to accept the evolution theory, because creation is dismissed by their presupposition that there is no God. For the Christian, there is no such restriction, and they can examine the evidence far more "scientifically." While it is true that many reject evolution purely on a matter of faith. There are serious scientific holes in Darwin's theory that should be pointed out.

It is in contradiction to Genetics. An organism with n chromosomes cannot evolve into an organism with n+1 chromosomes, because any change in chromosome number prevents it from passing on its mutation to offspring by reproduction.

It is in contradiction to biochemistry. Enzymes are complicated organic chemicals that work on a lock-and-key basis to bind certain chemicals needed for the body. You cannot evolve a key; it either works or it doesn't, there are no steps of mutation that provide a gradual advantage.

And it is in contradiction to the number-one rule of the Universe: The second Law of Thermodynamics. In any closed system (one without an external influence) the amount of entropy (disorder) must always increase. This is an "uncheatable" law; it is so strong that some scientists believe it defines the "arrow of time" itself. Thus the order in the species (and indeed the rest of the universe) cannot be the result of the passage of time, but they must be the result of an external influence.

Science is not in contradiction to faith. True science is the study of God's creation, and if we do not blind ourselves by our presuppositions, will point us to him.


Comments

Hi,

Glad you found my comments helpful. It's nice to know they are getting out there, even though the BBC declined to publish them.

Nice blog.

Chris.
