Is There Really a Creator? (Part 2) Creation vs. Science

In this world, there seems to be a constant battle between those, who believe Science holds the answers to this worlds existnece, and those who believe in the Biblical account of Creation. Many have faith to believe, that Science holds the answers to the universe, and that Creation is a myth, and  having faith in a Creator is just plain foolishness. Is that true? Has science proven creation to be a myth, or has science in fact proven creation to be the truth? The more science tries to prove creation to be a myth, the more questions arise, that science is unable to answer. I believe this is exactly as our Creator has designed it to be. In the book of Proverbs, Chapter 19 and verse 3,  we read these words;

"The foolishness of man perverteth his way: and his heart fretteth  against the LORD." (KJV)

When man, in his arrogance, and apart from the Almighty, thinks he has all the answers to the universe, you can be certain that the Creator will always prove him to be foolish. Man may try his best to answer the tough questions, but at the same time, cannot answer the questions, that to the Creator are simple questions. A few examples are as follows. 

Why do we need sleep? How does the body heal itself while we sleep? Where does life come from, and where does it go when something dies? How is the life of plants different from the life of animals? What is intelligence? How did it come about? Where did it come from?  How do even plants have a form of intelligence, even though they do not have a brain? What is gravity, and how does it work? If the universe is constantly expanding, as science says it is, how do the planets circle the sun, traveling trillions upon trillions of miles exactly in a precise orbit year after year, for thousands of years, down to the exact nanosecond? How does the moon circle the earth with the same precision? How can this precision be so accurate, that even man can calculate when the next meteor shower will arrive, or the next comet will come into view?  How can every snowflake be different from every other snowflake that ever was, or will be? With the billions of people, that have ever lived upon the face of the earth, how can no two fingerprints perfectly match those of another? How can every human, animal, or plant that ever lived, or ever will live have its own uniqueness?  How can no sunset, sunrise, or cloud formation, ever be duplicated exactly the same? Surely with the Creator in His infinite wisdom, these things are no problem with Him, and man has no clue, as to how to answer these questions. If I am to have faith in science, that all these things just randomly happened, I'm sorry, but I just don't have that kind of faith

The Bible tells us clearly in Proverbs 9:10;

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding."

I have a few questions for those who believe in the big bang theory, stellar nucleosynthesis and evolution. Because I have been at this for a long time, and also have a love for real science, I could probably go on for days asking questions like these, but time and space is short, so I will just throw out a few questions that drive the Big Bang theorists, and evolutionists crazy.

The first question is for those who believe in the "Big Bang Theory".

What caused it? Out of some small particle, there came a huge explosion, and because of that explosion, through stellar nucleosynthisis all matter, the universe and everything in it came into being. How did this tiny particle through stellar nuclear synthesis keep multiplying itself into all the elements and matter known today, and yet to be discovered in the future?. How did it turn into planets, stars, comets, asteroids, bacteria, mammals, birds, fish, minerals, and everything else? If I drop a bomb onto a city, does it produce precise organization and order, or does it create chaos? For that matter, does any explosion create precision and order of things? Of course not. It takes a totally irrational and deceived mind to believe that an explosion creates anything, other than chaos. In order to believe that, you have to purposefully abandon all reason and common sense.

The following questions are about nature, and are very simple questions that make absolutely no sense without an all knowing Creator. 

In the tropics, there is a butterfly called the Heliconius butterfly. It feeds on the pollen of only two vines. Both of these vines produce a flower, that is neither attractive to bees, nor other pollinating insects, nor do they have a smell to attract pollinating insects. However, these plants, and these butterflies could not exist without each other.  How did these butterflies know exactly where to go to find these vines? How many would have died before they randomly searched for, and found these vines, which are their only food source? How else would these vines be pollinated? They would soon cease to exist without the butterflies.  It should be quite obvious, that a loving Creator provided for both the vine, and the butterfly.

What about something that works as efficiently, as say, our eyes? Have you ever given much thought to the probability, that our eyes, just happened by chance? Have you ever considered how the eyes came to work in conjunction with our brains?  How did the different types of cells develop on their own? How did they know how to join themselves together to make vision possible? How did they come together in such a way, that they can detect movement, focus on shapes, colors, distance, brightness, or darkness? Even Charles Darwin, the father of the theory of evolution, had this to say about the eye, when he wrote;

 "To suppose that the eye, with all its inimitable contrivances for adjusting the focus to distances, for admitting different amounts of light, and for correction of spherical and chromatic aberration, could have been formed by natural selection, seems, I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree."

 I do not often agree with Charles Darwin, but in this instance, I believe he may have had a moment of revelation. Now consider this fact. Every human being, every animal that walks, crawls, or slithers upon the earth, every bird, or insect has eyes that are unique to their species. Do you really think it happened without a God? I'm sorry, but I do not have that much faith. 

We are often told, that no serious scientist today believes in Creation. Is that really true. The fact is that many highly regarded scientists believe in a Creator. Dr. Wernher von Braun, was very much a believer in Creation. He was perhaps the greatest rocket scientist of the last century, and was instrumental for the United State's, Saturn V rocket, which put our first men on the moon. In 1972, von Braun was asked to comment on the case for design, as a scientific theory for the origin of the universe. The following is his response: 

"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…. While the admission of a design for the universe ultimately raises the question of a Designer (a subject outside of science), the scientific method does not allow us to exclude data which lead to the conclusion that the universe, life and man are based on design…."Some people say that science has been unable to prove the existence of a Designer…. But they still maintain that since science has provided us with so many answers, the day will soon arrive when we will be able to understand even the creation of the fundamental laws of nature without divine intent. They challenge science to prove the existence of God. But must one really light a candle to see the sun?" 

When Mount St. Hellens erupted, with a furious explosion, in 1980, the evolutionists in the scientific community claimed it would take generations for the sterile and barren  land to recover from the blast, and once again produce life. However, the United States Forrest Service has reported that every species of plant and animal had returned within only five years after the explosion. Spirit Lake is once again supporting fish, after only five years. Based on the evironmentalist theory, that evolution was a slow process, they have proven themselves wrong. Science and evolution failed miserably in this instance.

I like to ask those who believe in evolution, How do you explain language? How do you explain the fact, that we can hear and speak? How did these abilities evolve from apes, which do not have vocal chords? If man has evolved from monkeys through a series of evolutionary steps, why is it we still have monkeys, and we have man, but all of the steps in between are no longer with us? Birds are the only other animals that have vocal tracts, but does anyone suggest, that we have evolved from birds? The whole concept, that language just happened is ludicrous.

There are people on this earth who think with the brain their Creator has given them, and there are people on this earth who learn what they are taught. They just accept, that their teachers are smarter than they are, and believe everything they say. They do not challenge them, for fear of receiving a poor grade, or for fear of ridicule. If you are told a lie often enough, you will believe it. The wisdom of our Creator is foolishness with man, as the wisdom of man is foolishness with God. I do not believe in evolution, because it is foolishness. I believe in the Creator, because I have a brain, and can think for myself. Like I said earlier, I could go on for days exploring the foolishness of "The Big Bang Theory" and "Evolution." It's just too easy for any honest thinking person.

 Just remember this. If you could have every part of a Rolex watch in a small box, and you started shaking that box. You could shake that box until a thousand generations of cows come home, and you will not have a Rolex watch, assembled, and able to keep proper time. Why not?  Everything needed for a Rolex watch is there. Everything necessary for a functioning watch is present. Random movement of its parts will never make it work. It needs a being to make it function. You can  have a dead animal with all its parts present. You can give it fresh blood from another animal of the same species, pump fresh air into its lungs, and food into its belly, but you cannot give it life. All life comes from our Creator. Man cannot produce it, nor can he reproduce it. Yet, some would have us believe that it all just happened by chance, without any intelligence. Like Mr. Spock would say, "That is illogical."
