1 A Christadelphian Bible talk 1 Who is God that I should take any notice of Him? 2 1

2 What happened? The 10 plagues that devastated Egypt and made her a base nation for the future. 3 The Principle of Control 4 2

3

4 88 7 Principle of Control Initial stated objective/purpose Needs to be an observed change or movement, not just a progression of normal events Change needs to be as stated to prove control and exclude coincidence Greater complexity is more convincing 8 4

5 Complex Control? Raw materials: steel, copper, aluminium, glass, rubber, oil (plastics), etc. 14,000 parts/sub-assemblies VW Dresden Plant 9 A Life-Supporting Earth Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else. 10 5

6 The Earth s Balance for Life Light Water/humidity Temperature Diameter of the earth Atmosphere Gravity Atmospheric Pressure Soil Appropriate food availability Sustainability Magnetic field effects Etc. 11 Absolute Zero -273c Life range 2% (-30 to+100c) Temperature 1000c Sun Surface 6000c Helium freezes N.B. Sun core 15,000,000c 12 6

7 Gravity 13 Atmosphere 78% 1% 21% Oxygen Nitrogen Other Oxygen at 50%: Earth inflammable Oxygen at 10%: Fire not sustainable 14 7

8 Living Organisms Infinitely more complex than any manufactured item Co-ordinated interaction between many functions Self repairing Simple Cell 15 Chance versus Control Simplest building block for life are Amino Acids 20 types are used to produce 30,000 different proteins Smallest protein has 100 amino acids Simplest cell needs over 600 proteins to work Time for smallest protein to happen by chance in primordial soup is; 15,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, 000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years. It is now accepted amongst scientists that for life to begin by chance is impossible. 16 8

9 Mutations Almost always a neutral or negative result Fruit fly studies by changing DNA Result: Dead fruit fly, defective fruit fly, fruit fly Example of positive result: TB virus can mutate to be unaffected by some anti-biotics. But it remains a TB virus The species/kind does not change 17 Evolutionary Problems Natural selection has no foresight DNA is a parts list only, it has no plan and other information is needed to build a structure using DNA Evolution cannot answer the question; Where did life come from? (Time does not help to solve an insoluble problem) 18 9

10 The Dead Sea Scrolls Discovered in 1947 at Qumran Isaiah scroll dated: latest 107 BC 17 parchment sheets 24ft X 11 ins. 19 The Shrine of the Book 20 10

11 The Witness of Bible Prophecy 21 The Witness of Bible Prophecy (1) The declared objective (700BC) Isaiah 13:1, The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see. Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it. Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children. And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms,the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there

12 The Witness of Bible Prophecy (1) Observed change Babylon was taken by the Medes and Persians 539BC In ruins by 130BC (Parthians) and further deteriorated Ruins excavated from late 1800 s Never re-built. Saddam Hussein tried and failed. Arab shepherds will not stay there 23 The Witness of Bible Prophecy (2): The Death of Jesus Isaiah 53:4, 5, 9,10 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and Crown carried of thorns our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, Scourged he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was Thieves upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Joseph of Arimethea Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: 24 12

13 A Big Question If God controls the world, why do bad things happen? 1. Haiti earthquake, 2. Chilean earthquake, 3. Tsunamis, Etc. 4. The Jewish holocaust 5. Babylonian captivity of the Jews The Babylonian Captivity (605BC) Jer 27:1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah (639BC) came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,.. Jer 27:5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the ground, by my great power and by my outstretched arm, and have given it unto whom it seemed meet unto me. Jer 27:6 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant;. Jer 27:22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them saith the LORD

14 God Forecasts the Jewish Response Jeremiah 29:12,13 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. And I will be found of you, saith the LORD. 27 A Bigger Question Do we have time for God? Why should we listen to Him? He has the most amazing plan for the earth and US, if we want it But please remember the consequences for Pharaoh and more importantly 28 14

15 John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him, should not perish but have everlasting life. 29 End 30 15

16 The Witness of Bible Prophecy (1) Declared objective Amos 9:14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God. Observed change as stated Jews expelled from the land in AD 70 and AD135 State of Israel formed in May 1948 Attempts to destroy Israel failed, 1948, 1967, Outline The principle of control The balance for life The witness of Bible prophecy Chance? Why do bad things happen? 32 16
