35 Does God Exist? Fact #2--The Universe Shows Signs Of Intelligent Design The universe itself displays purpose, design, and control.
36 Does God Exist? Fact #2--The Universe Shows Signs Of Intelligent Design The universe itself displays purpose, design, and control. - All of the stars and planets operate on precise mathematical principles which allow man to measure time, days, months, seasons, and years.
37 Was There A Plan? The rotation of the earth on its axis, for instance, is 1,000 miles per hour at the equator. If it were 100 instead, the days and nights would be ten times as long, the result of which would be the burning up of all vegetation each long day and the freezing of each surviving sprout each long night. The sun, the source of light, has surface temperatures of 12,000 degrees Fahrenheit, the earth is far enough away for the right warmth, not too much, not too little. If the sun gave less radiation, the result would freeze us all, and if more it would roast us all. The slant of the earth is at an angle of 23 degrees, which gives seasons, and if not so tilted, the movement of the vapors of the sea would turn continents to ice. If the moon were set at less distance from the earth tides would submerge all continents twice daily, and the mountains would erode away. If the crust of the earth were ten feet thicker, there would be no oxygen and all life would die, and if the ocean were a few feet deeper, no life could exist. (F.E. Wallace, Jr., Bulwarks of the Faith, Sec. II, Ch. 12, ).

40 Was The Human Body Carefully Designed?
41 Was The Human Body Carefully Designed? I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well (Psalm 139:14).
42 Was The Human Body Carefully Designed? I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well (Psalm 139:14). The human eye is more complex and efficient than any telescope or camera.

45 Was The Human Body Carefully Designed? I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well (Psalm 139:14). Are any of these things the result of blind, random chance??? The human eye is more complex and efficient than any telescope or camera. The human heart and circulatory system are more complex and efficient than any man-made pumping system. The human brain and nervous system are more complex and efficient than any man-made communications network or computer.
46 Who Built The House?
47 Who Built The House? For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God (Hebrews 3:4).
48 Who Built The House? For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God (Hebrews 3:4). If there are laws of the universe, then there must be a Lawgiver.
49 Who Built The House? For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God (Hebrews 3:4). If there are laws of the universe, then there must be a Lawgiver. If the universe operates on mathematical principles, there must be a Mathematician.
50 Who Built The House? For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God (Hebrews 3:4). If there are laws of the universe, then there must be a Lawgiver. If the universe operates on mathematical principles, there must be a Mathematician. If there is evidence of design and engineering skill, there must be an Engineer.
51 Who Built The House? For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God (Hebrews 3:4).
52 Who Built The House? For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God (Hebrews 3:4). Is it logical to believe that a house, automobile, television set, watch, etc., was formed by random chance?
53 Who Built The House? For every house is built by someone, but He who built all things is God (Hebrews 3:4). Is it logical to believe that a house, automobile, television set, watch, etc., was formed by random chance? Illustration: Sir Isaac Newton s ( ) model of the solar system that created itself.

71 Is Evolution The Answer? What do the scientists say?
72 Is Evolution The Answer? What do the scientists say? "Throughout the past century there has always existed a significant minority of first-rate biologists who have never been able to bring themselves to accept the validity of Darwinian claims. In fact, the number of biologists who have expressed some degree of disillusionment is practically endless." Michael Denton, Evolution: A Theory in Crisis (1986), p. 327.
![Is Evolution The Answer? What do the scientists say? The theory [of evolution] is a scientific mistake.](/docs-images/73/69548024/images/73-0.jpg "Louis Agassiz (1807-1873), quoted in H. Enoch, Evolution or Creation, (1966), p. 139.")
73 Is Evolution The Answer? What do the scientists say? The theory [of evolution] is a scientific mistake. Louis Agassiz ( ), quoted in H. Enoch, Evolution or Creation, (1966), p [Agassiz was a Harvard University professor and the pioneer in glaciation.]
74 Is Evolution The Answer? What do the scientists say? Evolution is baseless and quite incredible. John Ambrose Fleming ( ), President, British Association for Advancement of Science, quoted in The Unleashing of Evolutionary Thought.
75 Is Evolution The Answer? What do the scientists say? The Darwinian theory of descent has not a single fact to confirm it in the realm of nature. It is not the result of scientific research, but purely the product of imagination. Dr. Albert Fleischmann ( ) [Zoologist, University of Erlangen, Germany].
76 Is Evolution The Answer? What do the scientists say? "My attempts to demonstrate evolution by an experiment carried on for more than 40 years have completely failed. At least I should hardly be accused of having started from any preconceived anti-evolutionary standpoint." Nils Heribert Nilsson ( ) [Swedish geneticist and Professor of Botany at the University of Lund in Sweden] Synthetic Speciation (1953), p. 31.
77 Is Evolution The Answer? What do the scientists say? The absence of fossil evidence for intermediary stages has been a persistent and nagging problem for evolution. [Dr. Stephen J. Gould, ( ) [Geologist, Paleontoligist, Evolutionary Biologist, Harvard University] Evolution Now, p. 140.
78 What Do We Know About Evolution? last year I had a sudden realization for over 20 years I had thought I was working on evolution in some way. One morning I woke up and something happened in the night, and it struck me that I had been working on this stuff for 20 years and there was not one thing I knew about it. That s quite a shock to learn that one can be misled so long so the last few weeks I ve tried putting a simple question to various people. Question is: can you tell me anything you know about evolution, any one thing, any thing that is true? I tried that question on the geology staff at the Field Museum of Natural History and the only answer I got was silence. I tried it on the members of the Evolutionary Morphology Seminar in the University of Chicago, a very prestigious body of evolutionists, and all I got was silence for a long time, and eventually one person said, I do know one thing it ought not to be taught in high school. Dr. Colin Patterson ( ), Senior Paleontologist of the British Museum of Natural History and author of evolutionary texts, speech delivered at American Museum of Natural History, Nov. 5, 1981.

83 Three Unanswerable Problems Of The Theory Of Evolution 1. Life cannot spontaneously originate from organic material. 2. The gap between animal and vegetable life cannot be bridged. 3. One kind of plant or animal has never transformed into another kind of plant or animal (See Genesis 1:11-12, 21, 24-25). * These problems were raised by Canadian geologist Sir J.W. Dawson (Professor of Geology, McGill University) in his 1873 book, The Story of the Earth and Man, and still cannot be answered by evolutionists to this day.

97 Missing Link, or Missing Chain? The Archaeoraptor? (Discovered in 1999)
98 Missing Link, or Missing Chain? The Archaeoraptor? (Discovered in 1999) National Geographic defrauded the world in October 1999 by presenting the "archaeoraptor," a fossilized bird with a reptile tail. It turned out to be a composite of two different fossils. "National Geographic has reached an all-time low for engaging in sensationalistic, unsubstantiated, tabloid journalism" (Storrs L. Olson, Curator of Birds, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution).
