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

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
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
Urey Miller Experiment Assumption: No oxygen present in early atmosphere Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 12
Urey Miller Experiment Ozone Layer of atmosphere Protects earth from UV radiation Sun Ultra-violet rays Earth Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 13
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
Urey Miller Experiment What is Ozone? It is Oxygen! Sun O 3 instead of O 2 Earth Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 15
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
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
Urey Miller Experiment H 2 O NH 3 CH 4 H 2 Cold Water Water (Ocean) Trap Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 18
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
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
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
The simple cell Common features Cell: breathes takes in food grows reproduces dies Single celled Euglena Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 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
The simple cell The journey of one protein Lysosome waste disposal unit Protein lysomal hydrolase 0.002mm Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 26
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
The simple cell Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 28
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
The simple cell Fearfully and Wonderfully Made 30
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
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
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
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

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