2 Did God Make Man or Man Make God? Christopher Merola

3 Recap The Last Three Lessons All Creation Shows a Cause and Effect Relationship All Creation Moves in a Specific and Precise Direction All Creation Has Specific Limitations

4 1. Macro Evolution Can t Happen Without An Intelligent Designer 2. Macro Evolution Can t Happen Without Information in the Cells 3. Macro Evolution Can t Overcome Entropy 4. Macro Evolution Can t Overcome Genetic Limitations

5 Materialism The doctrine that nothing exists except matter and its movements and modifications. Molecules and Atoms

6 Materialism In fact, the theory that all things are made up of materials, is not even made up of materials. Many things are not made of matter (love, music, science )

7 Primordial Slime Theory The theory that life began in a pond or ocean as a result of the combination of chemicals from the atmosphere and some form of energy to make amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, which would then evolve into all the species.

8 DNA Information is Massive, Complex & Microscopic

9 Michael Behe, professor of biochemistry at Lehigh University It takes 200 protein molecules to make one living molecule Getting one protein molecule by chance is like a blindfolded man finding the same grain of sand in the Sahara Desert three times in a row.

10 Microbiologist and Biochemist and Atheist Michael Denton The complexity of the simplest known type of cell is so great that it is impossible to accept that such an object could have been thrown together suddenly by some kind of freakish, vastly impossible event.

11 DNA Massive Computer Code Proving a Code Writer

12 CS Lewis, Intellectual, Former Atheist Supposing there was no intelligence ehind the universe, no creative mind. n that case, nobody designed my rain for the purpose of thinking f so, how can I trust my own hinking to be true? It's like upsetting milk jug and hoping that the way t splashes itself will give you a map f London.

13 Microscopic Intelligent Machinery is No Accident

14 Specified Complexity The DNA messages found in all living beings, cannot be explained by matter or natural causes. Therefore, if it s not a natural cause (the DNA messaging) it is a supernatural cause.

15 DNA is Elaborate Messaging Proving a Messenger

16 The Principle of Uniformity If it takes an intelligent designer to write 1000 encyclopedias, then it takes an intelligent designer to place that information inside a microscopic living cell. If it takes an intelligent writer to write a computer code, then it takes one to write the far more complex DNA code.

17 DNA Turned Atheist Antony Flew Into a Theist

18 Scientists Know the Truth Similar forms of life can only come from pre- existing life. Macro Evolution can t prove, or explain where that first life came from spawning all other life.

19 It Takes Life to Create Life Furthermore, that existing life has genetic limitations One species can only breed with that same species

20 Christian Apologist, William Lane Craig The idea that the Universe created something out of nothing is worse than magic because the magician still has the rabbit and the hat.

21 Phillip Johnson, retired UC Berkley Law Professor, Book: Darwin on Trial the Darwinian theory of Evolution is not based on science. It's based on a prior commitment to materialism and philosophy. Facts take second place to that philosophy

22 Phillip Johnson, Continued Law Professor, His Book: Darwin on Trial what we're getting is what I call a materialist mythology. That's what I mean by intellectual superstition.

23 Chandra Wickramasinghe, Sri Lankan mathematician, astronomer and astrobiologist: The emergence of life from a primordial soup on the Earth is merely an article of faith that scientists are finding difficult to shed. There is no experimental evidence to support this

From Last Week. When the Big Bang theory was first proposed, it was met with much theological backlash from atheists. Why do you think this happened?
