1 The Evidence You decide Fearfully and Wonderfully Made Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 1

2 Overview Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 2

3 Overview We trust scientists and engineers Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 3

4 Overview Scientists and engineers have achieved remarkable things Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 4

5 Overview Have scientists proved the Bible wrong? The Evidence You decide Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 5

6 Overview Common beliefs The universe started with a big bang Life developed by evolution The Bible must be wrong talking about creation Is this true? Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 6

7 The Origin of Life Evolution assumes life already exists How did life begin?? Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 7

8 Urey Miller Experiment Harold Urey and Stanley Miller University of Chicago, 1953 Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 8

9 Urey Miller Experiment Flow of water vapour Sampling Probe Cold Water H 2 O NH 3 CH 4 H 2 Sampling Probe Trap Sampling Probe Water (Ocean) Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 9

10 Urey Miller Experiment The building blocks of life H 2 O NH 3 CH 4 H 2 Amino Acids found here Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 10

11 Urey Miller Experiment Hydrogen Water (vapour) Ammonia H 2 O NH 3 CH 4 H 2 Methane No Oxygen! Oxygen prevents creation of Amino Acids. Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 11

12 Urey Miller Experiment Assumption: No oxygen present in early atmosphere Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 12

13 Urey Miller Experiment Ozone Layer of atmosphere Protects earth from UV radiation Sun Ultra-violet rays Earth Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 13

14 Urey Miller Experiment Without Ozone No protection from UV rays All life would be destroyed by the sun Sun Ultra-violet rays Earth Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 14

15 Urey Miller Experiment What is Ozone? It is Oxygen! Sun O 3 instead of O 2 Earth Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 15

16 Urey Miller Experiment Oxygen Paradox: Life cannot start spontaneously if oxygen is present Life cannot survive if oxygen is not present Sun Earth Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 16

17 Other Life Sources? Where else could life start? Under the sea? Problems: Hydrolysis breaks down amino acids Organic chemicals unstable at high temperatures Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 17

18 Urey Miller Experiment H 2 O NH 3 CH 4 H 2 Cold Water Water (Ocean) Trap Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 18

19 Chirality (Handedness) Amino Acids are Chiral Exist in left- and righthanded states Undirected reactions contain equal mixtures of left- and right-handed Amino Acids All life contains only lefthanded Amino Acids How did this happen? Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 19

20 Does science support the Bible? The Organisation of living things suggests a Designer The evidence supports the Bible In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1 v 1 Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 20

21 The simple cell More than collection of complex chemicals Basic unit of life Plants and animals have many different types Human body has 10 trillion (10,000,000,000,000) cells 200 types Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 21

22 The simple cell Common features Cell: breathes takes in food grows reproduces dies Single celled Euglena Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 23

23 The simple cell Mitochondria energy source Nucleus control centre Lysosome waste disposal Golgi apparatus protein store, sorting and dispatching Endoplasmic reticulum builds and folds proteins Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 24

24 The simple cell The journey of one protein Lysosome waste disposal unit Protein lysomal hydrolase 0.002mm Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 26

25 The simple cell The journey of one protein Protein requirement starts process Information stored in nucleus as DNA 0.002mm Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 27

26 The simple cell Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 28

27 The simple cell The journey of one protein Protein built in endoplasmic reticulum Taken to Golgi apparatus the Post Office Endoplasmic reticulum Golgi apparatus Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 29

28 The simple cell Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 30

29 The simple cell The journey of one protein Process happens billions of times in every cell Must happen for life to continue Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 31

30 The simple cell The journey of one protein One defect in system causes I-cell disease : Stunted growth Puffed up eyes and face Bent legs Difficult movement Mental retardation Enlarged heart, liver and spleen Probable death by age of 5 All systems must be in place Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 32

31 The simple cell One of the most difficult stages to be explained in evolution is to scientifically explain how organelles (compartments) developed no creature or group has yet been found with organelles of a simpler construction in any way, or which are more primitive. In other words, the organelles carried forward have developed just as they are. They have no simple and primitive forms. Professor Ali Demirsoy in the book Inheritance and Evolution Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 33

32 The simple cell The facts The cell: Basis of all life Incredibly complicated Contains many irreducibly complex systems Tragic results if one element not working correctly Partially developed cell never yet discovered No-one can offer a plausible explanation for the evolution of the cell Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 34

33 Dissent from Darwin Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 36

34 One Scientific Explanation of Origin of Life Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 37

35 The simple cell I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvellous are Your works, Psalm 139 v 14 Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 38

36 Food for thought Science has not explained the origin of life. Evolution is often asserted because creation is unacceptable When the facts are considered they suggest life has been designed Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 40

37 Conclusion Do not allow yourself to be deceived. The organisation of life points to a designer. Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 48
