“According to Carl Sagan, one of our best-known scientists, ‘The information content of a simple cell has been established as around one trillion bits, comparable to about 100 million pages of the Encyclopaedia Britannica’ [emphasis mine].1 What Sagan is talking about here is the information contained within the genetic code (DNA) of a microscopic Escherichia coli bacterium that lives in our intestines.” Read more here:...
Read MoreComparing Both Sides!
Take a look at these charts! There is definitely a difference of opinion in how both sides (Creation and Naturalism) interpret the same evidence and you can see the vast difference in the implications of each view. You can clearly see how depression and suicide can be caused by being taught that we are simply evolved apes and that there is no purpose in life. Oh, how marvelous are God’s ways that He would love us and want to redeem...
Read MoreDon’t Humans Share DNA with Apes? Isn’t that Proof of Evolution?
“Claim: Humans share almost 99% of our DNA with Chimpanzees. Reality: This originally came from analyzing only the portion of the genome that is already similar. Looking at the broader genome including Indels, that percentage is closer to 86-89%. If “junk DNA” is considered (which is not junk!), the percentage is even much lower. Genetic researcher, Dr. Jeffrey Tomkins, shows the similarity may be between 71-86%. He states, “While it is true that there are sections...
Read MoreYou are a mutant many times over!!
This is still one of my favorite arguments against evolution! “Renowned geneticist and inventor of the gene gun, Dr John Sanford,10 in his landmark book Genetic Entropy and the Mystery of the Genome, highlights the problem.11 The relentless net effect of random mutations (which evolutionists suppose to be the ‘engine’ of evolution) is actually degradation or complete destruction of function. As Dr Sanford puts it, “So every one of us is a mutant, many times over!” Such is...
Read MoreData in Your DNA!
Scientists can now build practically any DNA sequence that they want which is allowing us to use it as a storage device. One research team has engineered DNA strands to store the information for an operating system, text, images, and a movie and they were able to successfully retrieve it. This technology could make huge strides in progress – think about it as they put it – “all your data in a drop of DNA.” Let’s not forget, though, that this is clearly the work of a...
Read MoreThere is No Genetic Code for the Human Soul
“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:26 The $250 million Human Genome Project is attempting to map all the human genes. Some observers have been saying that the human genome project will define what it means to be human. Such talk, however, is based on evolution. We are not the sum of our DNA. It is well known, for example, that two people can inherit the same weakness for alcohol. One may become an...
Read MorePass the Peas (or the Genes) Please.
Before I became a Christian, I was taught that the Word of God was an outdated book written by primitive people who did not have modern scientific knowledge. However, the Bible revealed scientific knowledge thousands of years ahead of its time. About the same time Charles Darwin was developing his theories of evolution, a man named Gregor Mendel, an Austrian monk and scientist, was performing scientific experiments with pea plants. His work on breeding pea plants reopened...
