Apologetic Study

As we have discussed before, the capacity of the DNA genetic alphabet to contain a message is equivalent to the capacity of the English alphabet to contain a message. Since all living things have DNA with its four nitrogen-containing bases (represented by the letters A, T. C, and G), we would expect a high degree of similarity in the biological information among creatures whether or not they are ancestrally related.

Another problem that undermines the plausibility of natural selection creating new life forms is that fact that transitional forms could not survive.

Behe’s discoveries are fatal for Darwinism. Irreducible complexity means that new life cannot come into existence by the Darwinian method of slight, successive changes over a long period of time.

In 1859, Charles Darwin wrote, “If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed, which could not possible have been formed by numerous, successive, slight modifications, my theory would absolutely break down.” We now know that there are many organs, systems, and processes in life that match that description.

With artificial selection there is a goal in view, and it is a intelligently guided process. With natural selection there is no goal to be reached, and it is a blind process. There is no intelligent choice of breeds, and they are not guarded from any destructive processes.

It is essential that the right distinctions be made and that all hidden assumptions be exposed when discussing the creation-evolution controversy. So if someone ever asks you, “Do you believe in evolution?” you should ask that person, “What do you mean by evolution? Do you mean micro or macro-evolution?”

Macroevolution is the belief that all life forms have descended from a common ancestor – the first one-celled creature – and all this has happened by natural processes without any intellectual intervention. Darwinists say this has happened by natural selection. This term is a misnomer.

A worldview is like a box top that allows you to place the many pieces of life’s puzzle into a complete, cohesive picture. If you have the right box top, then pieces of the puzzle make sense in sight of the complete picture. But what happens if you keep discovering pieces that do not fit the box top you have?

Materialism is defined as a doctrine that states nothing exists except matter and its movements and modifications. We find that the bad science of the Darwinists results from false philosophy of naturalism or materialism at the foundation of their worldview. Why is it false?

Unfortunately, Darwinists have been successful in convincing the public that the only bad science is that which disagrees with Darwinism. In fact, the complete opposite is true. It is the Darwinists who are practicing the bad science because their science is built upon false philosophy.
