Where did we come from is a valid question. We live in an evolving universe of unique changes. Many choose to believe in The Origin of Species, ~ Charles Darwin’s book of 1859. The design issue is complicated by inferring God whereas many evolutionists do not want to imagine God is necessary. ~ To write the Book of Nature. ... His invisible attributes are clearly seen, ~ Romans 1:20 One can observe God by witnessing the things made. There are two basic inferences with regard to the origin of life and its diversity:
LIFE Easier → Was this designed? ← Easier ↕ Harder → Who designed this? ← Harder ↑ ~ Both questions are worth examination … - Is it an act of intelligence to discard the argument of Intelligent Design because Evolutionists arrogantly and simply dismiss it as a consideration? Faith lies at both ends of the dichotomy … ~ Extremes producing biased turmoil:
Can Science be used to determine whether or not the universe has been designed over the haphazard occurrence assumption? We must use the present to draw conclusions about our remote past. It hurts the cause if we can not remain open to all aspects of knowledge. God demands that we know and so we should for the sake of knowing. Test all things; hold fast what is good. ~ 1st Thessalonians 5:21 Testing is what He calls us to do. As individuals we should not dismiss opportunities to become the best we can be in seeing, considering valid truths. The question is are we genuinely open or closed minded? - In regards to our world view. Honesty Most do not prefer change … and resistance litters our past as well as our present. “Don’t upset our world view.” However, this universe prefers instant innumerable changes ~ as a natural event ~ Chemistry examines the tiny details of life. Modern day brilliance plows through this ignorance. The "Origin of Species" has valid observational points attempting to explain the adaptive qualities of life over extended time and it should not be wholly discarded. We must cleave to what is good ~ for the sake of our children and future civilization. We are their inheritance. Made from atoms is subdued, but to evolve from monkeys is hot. Underlying questions deeper than science can answer are at the pin head: Why are we here? ~ Are we the product of something created or a product of natural causes - which means there is no purpose for our existence. Emotionally heated judgments can render us all to becoming irrational. Do we really want mass hysteria as our legacy … … for history to mock at our foolishness? The Rational Approach:
⭦ ⭧ Which is more reasonable? Evolutionists believe a God originated universe undermines science. How to please God is not science, however, God’s characteristics fill nature. Humans use intelligence acting upon nature to form specific realities ↓ Stonehenge was not made by nature Natural Phenomenon or Required Intelligence? Intelligence acting on nature can be observed. ~ Is human intelligence produced by nature or free of it? Where did intelligence come from really is the question. ● Science can not demonstrate that intelligence is created of nature. INTELLIGENCE Nature does include numerous patterns. Science admits finding these patterns as they search for intelligence. Regular amplitude and wavelength signals from space occur due to pulsars. These signals are not regarded as intelligence but natural occurring events. We search for “outer” intelligence, SETI = Search for Extraterrestrial Life. Does it contain information is prerequisite to concluding intelligence or not. No certain data has been obtained from “outer” space showing intelligence. How do we go about classifying intelligence or not? OCCURING EVENTS ARE:
Intelligence has to be independent of the event described. Event or phenomenon? Which position of faith is more valid or reasonable? It is ridiculous to exclude all that should be examined and or considered. Searching for “outer” intelligence, we should not reject “inner” intelligence. Prevailing World View:
Arrogance has no part in the humble nature of truth.
The design can be analyzed mathematically. There should be a unique mathematical signature common to all points knowable inside the universe we live. This mathematical model should and does reflect the magnificence of all creation from the beginning to the end. These unique and common laws of nature are repeated. The universe holds together. Cellular life holds patterns. Now faith is the substance of things hoped for; the evidence of things not seen. ~ Hebrews 11:1 ... without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, ... ~ Hebrews 11:6 God is dead is and has been a prominent view among those who question. ┌─> You can learn about God by the things that are made. ... being understood by the things that are made, ... ~ Romans 1:20 God is beyond nature, He is divine in nature. Intelligent Design believes God is convincingly real through manifestations. From the top to bottom, the evidence needs to be examined.
From the distant stars to the microscopic cells of life. ALL LIFE HAS:
There is a restriction in living things that only left sided protein molecules are accepted as well as only right sided sugars. These are monumental barriers challenging the random natural causes explanations, which they have none. These functioning’s are deliberate. Proteins actively assist the functioning of DNA to unwind enabling the recreation of useful and needed cells. The Genetic Code is each of our fingerprints of Light Matter └─> Both start and stop codes are encoded into it. It is a complex operation of precise selection suited to the specific need. The DNA is copied in messenger RNA which migrates outside the nucleus - then translated to make proteins. Proteins needed to build proteins are coded in the DNA. In every living cell an undeniable extreme intelligence has been designed into it. Darwin’s explanation is short as to explaining the unique cell complexities. Special Creation can be the only conclusion. The egg can not come before the chicken and so also is how DNA-RNA-PROTIEN-ENZYME functions are dependant upon each other. Miraculous creation can only explain simultaneous operations. ~ An intelligent designer magnificently shouts out from every cell. The shear complexity of it. <─┘ And more than that, the organism provides an informational context. DNA alone does not wholly determine the morphological form and organisms cell types are made of among other things specialized proteins, organs are made of specialized cell types and body plans of specific arrangements of organs and tissues, so it is bigger than one can ever dream … … it goes beyond the DNA. Evolutionists have all but lost there purpose dumfounded to explain the unexplainable explainable. VOCIFEROUSLY, - INTELLIGENT DESIGN It is as if from behind every matter particle is an angel laughing. ... in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. ~ Psalms 139:13-16 God knew us before we were ever born. His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, ... ~ Romans 1:20 └─> Best argument from the Bible for Intelligent Design.
Darwin himself said that if it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous successive slight modifications, his theory would absolutely break down. So, Darwin admits that if a complex organ can not reduce back to a common constituent simple form, his theory breaks down or in other words, completely fails. Darwin also admits how absurd it is to consider the human eye as being an act of Natural Selection. However he argues that small changes can lead to all higher order organs through small adjustments.
Darwin dismisses or trivializes how light sensitive tissues originated. and continues by discarding the significance of how life first originated. He finds no necessity for a firm foundation. Weak as water is sufficient. The chemistry changes underlying these Darwinian “eye” leaps are too colossal to be rational, with incalculable “incremental steps” ~ missing from the historical record. Unprecedented three dimensional color vision! The Rods and chemical processes occurring in Pico-seconds, receiving light which changes protein shapes to alter molecular forms connected to inner membrane processes influencing pressures between ions stimulating electrical charges sent to the brain is no trivial event, yet taken for granted by most.
This light impact or process has to be restored continuously, repeatedly, in a balanced refreshing. Reverse ↔ Forward in concert. Is it reasonable to explain vision by natural selection? ● It never will be done. Do we fear truth or deny regard for God? The human immune system? Antibodies and memory cells that stay with one indefinitely can not be dismissed in its complexity. A human body has some 15 billion potential antibodies depending upon the invading disease. Heavy chain genes and light chain genes. ↓ 15 Billion Defenses:
The body is dependant upon all of its functioning’s to the degree that if one part is damaged or removed, it can all shut down. Irreducibly complex systems are dependant upon each other. It is designed to work in concert with itself. Blood, skin, etc. The evidence is overwhelming. We have more reason than ever in our age to believe there is a Great God who created us. Who has magnificent power beyond what we can even imagine to design such things of which we have only just begun to understand, but we know enough now where it ought to be completely beyond question.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. ~ 1st Corinthians 1:25 There is not one scintilla of evidence to support evolutionist’s hopes. Clearly, Intelligent Design has overpowering favor based on the facts. It is not God that undermines science, that is left to the arrogance of man. Why we miss the Intelligent Design argument is because we don’t want to acknowledge GOD. Thanks be to my dear acquaintance and brother in Christ, "Buddy" Payne. |
