Creation vs. Evolution
Imagine yourself walking down a beach. The day is ending and everyone has gone home. As you wander along the shore, watching the sunset, you see the most perfect sand castle you have ever seen. It’s about three feet high and is complete with a moat, a tower and perfectly aligned bricks. You think, “Wow, look at what the ocean made” right? I don’t think so. You would probably recognize that someone with amazing artistic talent was here, and left his mark. Even more amazing artistic talent is seen every day in the world and universe around us. This would also point to an intelligent designer. Intelligent design is a more probable theory of how life began than evolution is. The first evidence for an intelligent designer is the complexity of the DNA molecule. DNA is an essential part of living matter, but evolutionists cannot explain how it came into existence. “It takes 20 different proteins to produce DNA, but DNA is needed to produce the different proteins. Therefore, they both needed to be in existence at the same time.” (Hartwig, 3) The genetic information contained in each cell of the human body is roughly equivalent to a library of 4000 volumes. The probability that mutations and natural selection prod
“Wind and water erode 25 billion tons of earth and rocks into the ocean every year. The average depth of the ocean right now is about 400 meters. If the earth were billions of years old, the ocean floor would be dozens of kilometers deep with mud.” (Wieland, 25) A fifth evidence against the earth being billions of years old are the volcanoes. “In order for evolution to have taken place, there should be transitional fossils between nonliving matter and protozoan, protozoan to metazoan, invertebrates to fish, fish to amphibians, amphibians to reptiles, reptiles to birds, reptiles to fur bearing quadrupeds, quadrupeds to apes and apes to man. There are, however, no such fossils.” (10, 4) Intelligent design is a more probable theory of how life began than evolution is. This is seen in the DNA molecule, how young our earth is, and in the fossil record. Just like the ocean waves could not have created a sand castle, the universe and everything around us could only have been created by an artistic and intelligent designer. As Mark Hartwig, Ph.D. puts it, “If we could fully trace the creation of a book, our investigation would eventually lead us to the author.” (6, 5)
