Genetic Information 2

 

Even if matter and life (perhaps a bacterium) somehow arose, the probability that mutations and natural selection produced this vast amount of information is essentially zero (b). It would be similar to producing 4,000 books with the following procedure ©:

 

a. Start with a meaningful phrase.

That's where your premise utterly falls apart...if you have with a predetermined "Start", probabilities are hugely unlikely.  For instance, if you start with a 52-card deck, and have a predetermined order to deal out the cards, you will never get that order.  But...when you deal out the deck, the order you dealt them out is as equally as improbable as your predetermined order.  In fact, it is quite likely that the same order of dealing out a 52 card deck has never happened in history - what a miracle.  We developed the way we did because of our environment, not because of a predetermined outcome.

 

To put it another way, what you are espousing is akin to someone being agog at the amazing improbability that a mud puddle EXACTLY fits a hole the rain fell in. 

 

Young-Earth apologists should really avoid probabilities to avoid looking foolish.

On the contrary, we "developed" (do you mean evolved?) the way we did because God programed us this way. We adjust to our different environments but they have nothing to do with our development.

you are sidestepping the probablility issue.  "We" is life.  The universe was not created for life, life arose where and how it could.  You misread the Bible when you use probability the way you do.

No Chance

 

Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Revelation 4:11

 

That Life Is Auto-Created

 

And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: Ephesians 3:9

 

Nor That The Earth Was Not Created For It

 

For this is what the LORD says-- he who created the heavens, he is God; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited-- he says: "I am the LORD, and there is no other. Isaiah 45:18 (NIV)

 

And As Any Man (Or Woman) Can Readily Observe

 

“But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you;

 

or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you.

 

Which of all these does not know that the hand of the Lord has done this?

 

In his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:7-10 (NIV)

 

When The Earth Changed

 

For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead.

 

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 1 Corinthians 15:21-22

 

Life Died

 

But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

 

Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

 

For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet.

 

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 1 Corinthians 15:23-26

 

Scientifically Speaking That Is

 

For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;

 

And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.

 

Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,

 

And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. John 5:26-29

Jesus Is LORD~!

Hello.

I'm the new guy!

 

Evolution is really on it's final last gasps.

There really isn't much left to believe in, that doesn't require a tremendous faith.

 

The fossil record is a complete and thorough bust.

Now, genetically, we can pretty much rule out any hope in finding examples where new DNA is seen.

We now know that instead of new DNA all we actually see is copying of DNA, or reshuffling of existing DNA, or a complete loss of DNA - all totally discount evolution.

 

Every attempt to force some Australopithecine to be a human ancestor, has failed miserably, examples put forth have either been found to be frauds, or apes/monkeys.

The Darwinian hypothesis has been all but given up as wishful thinking, even the most hard core evolutionists, have given up on Charlie, and have proposed what may turn out to be even more unlikely hypothesis in Punctuated Equilibrium - the changes happen so fast, we can't see it! First it was changes happening so slow that we can't see it happening, now it's the other end off the scale.

P.E. is not based on any science. It's actually an example of just how desperate the evolution scientists are.

They appear to be willing to accept anything, regardless of how unlikely it may be, other than creation.

This post really highlights the fact you don't know much about evolution.  Even if you don't "believe" evolution, you should educate yourself on it if you are going to comment.  This post is just fluff with nothing to back it up.  I could copy and paste it from any creationist website.  How about you tell us what evolution says (keeping in mind you don't "believe" it).  This will tell us how educated you are on the subject.

Hi Jerry.

I find your comment very ironic. you accuse me of not understanding anything about evolution, but you offered nothing to corroborate it at all.

 

take care.

I asked you to explain your understanding of evolution.  That would tell me a lot about how much I should value your opinon of the topic. Your post and my experience with creationists leads me to believe they have not delved deeply into the topic.  Could you give me some bullets on what you think the theory of evoulution espouses?  That would give us a starting point for debate.

I really don't have anything to corroborate your post.  Maybe you meant something else?  Maybe "contradict"?

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
