Science Verses
Religion
The majority of the people in the world hold one of two basic beliefs on when life began. One belief is based on scientific and archeological evidence. The other belief is based on the creation story as told in the book of Genesis. “Which is myth, God or Evolution? Louis Boundure, director of Frances Strasbourg Zoological Museum and professor of biology at the University of Strasbourg, stated: Evolution is a fairy tale for grownups. This theory has helped nothing in the progress of science. It is useless.”(14[pg. 3])
Due to the lack of evidence for
the theory of evolution as presented by Darwin, scientists are starting to
accept the idea of an intelligent designer.
This idea is the basic concept of the creation story as told in the book
of Genesis. “ ‘Certainly not
all scientists agree that no Creator exists and that we as human beings are the
product of random chance. In 1972 the California State Board of Education asked
NASA director Wernher von Braun, who has been called the father of the American
space program, for his thoughts on the origin of the universe, life and the
human race. Here's how he responded: ‘For me, the
idea of a creation is not conceivable without invoking the necessity of design.
One cannot be exposed to the law and order of the universe without concluding
that there must be design and purpose behind it all. In the world around us, we
can behold the obvious manifestations of an ordered, structured plan or design
. . .To be forced to believe only one conclusion—that
everything in the universe happened by chance—would violate
the very objectivity of science itself.’ . . . (Scott
Huse, The Collapse of Evolution,
1997, pp. 159-160)”
“Many educated people accept the theory of evolution .
. . (O)ur existence as humans is one of
the best arguments against it. According to evolutionary theory, the traits
that offer the greatest advantage for survival are passed from generation to
generation. Yet human reproduction itself argues powerfully against this
fundamental premise of evolution.” If evolution is how all life developed and
the higher up the evolutionary latter, the more advanced the biological systems
are, “. . . how is it that higher
forms of life evolved with male and female sexes? If humans are the pinnacle of the
evolutionary process, how is it that we have the disadvantage of requiring a
member of the opposite sex to reproduce, when lower forms of life - such as
bacteria, viruses and protozoa - are sexless and far more prolific? If they can
reproduce by far simpler methods, why can't we? If evolution is true, what went
wrong?”
Evolution is based on the
premise that from generation to generation, strong “. . . characteristics that offer a survival advantage
. . .” were retained while weak traits
were eliminated. If this were the case, “. . . how can we explain the human infant?”
“There are thousands of species whose newborn can
survive on their own within days and sometimes minutes after they are
born. “Many never
even see their parents. Yet, among humans, an infant is utterly helpless—not for days but for up to several years after birth.
“A human baby is reliant on adults for the
nourishment, shelter and care he or she needs to survive. Meanwhile, caring for that helpless infant is
a distinct survival disadvantage for adults, since giving of their time and
energy lessens their own prospects for survival.
“If evolution is true, and humans are the pinnacle of
the evolutionary process, why does a process as basic as human reproduction fly
in the face of everything that evolution holds true? Even Charles Darwin, whose theories about
evolution took the world by storm, had second thoughts. In his later years he reflected on what he
had started: ‘I was a young man with unformed
ideas. I threw out queries, suggestions, wondering all the time over
everything; and to my astonishment the ideas took like wildfire. People made a
religion of them’ (William
Federer, America's God and Country,
1996, p. 199, emphasis added)” (14 [ pg 2]).
There are many reasons to be
more than skeptical beyond what we just looked at. “ Charles Darwin . . .
(who was the) British Naturalist who popularized the theory of evolution
through natural selection . . .” said the following: “ ‘For I am well aware that scarcely a single point is
discussed in this volume [Origin
of Species] on which facts cannot be adduced, often apparently
leading to conclusions directly opposite to those at which I arrived.’” Even Darwin doubted his own theory.
The simple truth of the matter
is, there is not a shred of evidence that is available to prove this
theory. “‘To postulate
that the development and survival of the fittest is entirely a consequence of
chance mutations seems to me a hypothesis based on no evidence and
irreconcilable with the facts. These classical evolutionary theories are a
gross over-simplification of an immensely complex and intricate mass of facts,
and it amazes me that they are swallowed so uncritically and readily, and for
such a long time, by so many scientists without a murmur of protest.’ - Sir Ernst Chain (1906-1979), co-holder of the 1945
Nobel Prize for isolating and purifying penicillin, director of Rome's
International Research Center for Chemical Microbiology, professor of
biochemistry at Imperial College, University of London.” ( 14[ pg 5]).
Why has the theory of evolution become so entrenched in today’s society? “Why has evolution become so widely accepted, and why has the Bible come to be viewed with such hostility? What has changed?
Have you ever wondered about any of these questions? If you have, then you should read the book.
