    Which

    came first -the chickenor the egg?

    The chicken!

    Hens go broody and sit on eggs.

    Eggs are warmed for 21 days.Without the mother howcould the eggs hatch?

    Scientists say the chicken came first.They say that it is a protein onlyfound in the mothersbodythat makes the shell.*(For * references see p 39)

    What about Dad?

    Didnt there have to be a father too?Hens lay eggs, but only a cockerel anda hen together can make a chick.

    What is life?We all took our first breath.

    Living things eat, grow and breathe.How could something that is not alivemake an airway to breathe all by itself?

    Where did life begin?Some people think it

    came from a pond,or from space, or

    from the earth.If so - howdid

    it get there?

    Other people believeGod made a father anda mother grown-up so

    that they could havebabies straight away.

    Bees and trees -would we be alive

    without them?Bees pollinate

    plants for us to eat.Trees clean the airfor us to breathe.

    In the beginning God createdthe heavens and the earth.

    The Bible says that everything wasready to work straight away.

    Whichcame first -matter or the law of gravity?How could gravity exist without matter?How could matter exist without gravity?Didnt theyhave to be made together at once?

    If male and female had taken millionsof years to evolve how did life go on?

    How soon was the first baby born?

    Did pregnancy work first time?If not, the baby is dead.

    God said;Let there

    be lightand therewas light.God spokeand it wasdone.

    It needs a miracle to make something from nothing.The so-called big-bang defies science and common sense.

    It is impossible for nothing to make something by itself.Only an Almighty God could have made the universe.

    Something can not get bigger by itself.It needs something else to make it grow.

    Fire and water could not have evolvedfrom the same thing as they would

    have cancelled each other out.

    Moses told us about Creation -perhaps using earlier records.

    Some say this is only poetrybut a six day creation using

    24 hours is implied in theTen Commandments.

    That is not poetry.*

    To see light we have eyesEyes develop in different ways.

    The eye of a backboned creature growsfrom the brain towards the skins surface.The eye of a non-backboned creature grows

    from the skins surface towards the brain.As one sort could not have reversed

    into the other sort they musthave had a different start.

    Mammal and reptileeyes are organizedin different ways.

    Mammal opticnerves takeimages from

    each eye toboth sides ofthe brain.*1

    Reptile opticnerves takeimages fromeach eye toonly the

    oppositeside ofthe brain.

    Some eyes have one lidgoing from top to bottom.Others have eyelids that meet halfway.Others have membranes that move from side to side.*2

    We all have two eyes - not one.Didnt the nerves have to be completeto work together in the first pair of eyes?

    Why supposedly evolve eyes beforeknowing there was anything to see?

    If all the different sorts of eyes wereevolving for millions of years, duringthat time, was each creature blind?Fossils in the lowest rock layerhave complete eyes.

    To focus eyes need working muscles,lenses, irises, fluid, sclera, pupils, corneas,

    retinas, optic nerves, a heart for blood, lungsfor oxygen, and a brain to interpret sight.

    Eyes are formed in the embryobefore having seen light.

    Sleep: we close our eyes to sleep.If the first living thing did not sleep, why invent it?It makes creatures easy to attack so does not help survival.If the first living thing was asleep - how did wakefulness arrive?

    Koalas sleep a lot.Babies - the size

    of jelly beans -crawl up into their

    mothers pouch.

    The pouch openingis at the bottom.

    God said:Let there be

    an expansecalled sky.Our planet has

    balancing systems -with air, water,

    gravity, and nuclearand magnetic fields.

    Take one away andlife is disturbed.

    Some dating methods use ideas we cannot prove.Perhaps decay rates and oxygen levels changed.Perhaps the world started with an inbuilt age.Air found in amber fossil bubbles has moreoxygen than that which is in the air now.*1

    Fossilized treeslie across more than

    one rock or coal layer

    showing that all the layersgot there in the life time

    of only one tree.*2

    An insect in amber.Amber is fossilized sap from trees

    Was Noahs Flood world-wide?If not - why bother to takeanimals into the Ark?Fish fossils and salt arefound in the middleof every continent.*3Most fossils are in sedimentaryrock which is put there by water.Fossils do not show evolution as

    they looked the same then as they do now.

    river-water,underground

    water, rain,steam, snow,

    sleet, dew,hail, ice.

    Melted icebergs do not raise the sea levelas the larger underwater base melts too.Melted ice flowing from the land does.

    The moon's gravitational pull is just right.Its strength gives us the moving tides.

    Without the moon oceans wouldbe stagnant and there would

    be no plankton to putoxygen into the sea.

    Our moon moves away from us slightly each year.Tides would have swamped the earth if the moonhad been nearer the earth millions of years ago.Would we be here if there were no tides?

    God said: ...and let dry land appear.Each day was a miracle.

    Plants and trees already had seeds.These copy themselves and do not change.

    Would we be here without worms?Beetles and ants scurry around.The soil needs the bugs.The bugs need the soil.

    Worms soften the soil with spit,making a hole to push through.

    They pass it out as little heapsof earth putting air in the soil.

    How did the soil grow plantsunless the bugs were

    already there?What gave life to the first bug?Even if scientists could make life,they cannot make the cells, wateror oxygen that is needed to make it.They can not make something from nothing.

    Which came first -the plant or plant-breathing?

    Plants grow from light reacting on them.Didn't they have to be already therebefore this reaction could begin?

    If plants evolved for new siteswhy do they grapple for the same soil?

    Where did the scent of flowers come from?

    If it was to attract insects, how did a plantknow that an insect could smell?

    Bees need plants for food.Plants need bees to reproduce.How did plants needing insects forpollination live, if insects hadnot yet been made?

    Which came first - the plant or the seed?

    Didn't the whole cycle of seeds, seedlings,plants, buds, flowers, and fruit haveto happen in one complete go?

    If not, how did moreplants grow?

    How did an acorn get into its cup -or a chestnut into its prickly husk?How did liquid get inside a coconut?

    People say flowers arebeautiful to attract insects -

    but insects see differently to us.

    Seeds and fruit are also beautiful.They dont need to attract insects.*

    God said: Let there be lightsin the expanse of the sky

    We cannot comprehendthe magnitude of endless space.Rolling planets, blazing suns andswirling orbs dazzle in design.The expanse, the sparkle,and sheer numberblow our minds.

    What is infinity?Isnt it the biggestnumber we can think of,and then we go onadding noughts?

    What is true, and what is not?We can only see as far as telescopes can take us.

    Science is observable, testable and repeatable.Ideas that we cant prove are not true science.Who knows what happens beyond the stars?

    He made the stars also *1

    Calendars reflect movement in space.

    The earths path around the sun gives us years.The moons path around the earth gives us months.The spinning of the earth gives us night and day.The tilt of the earth makes different seasons.But our week comes from the six daycreation and not from the stars.

    We, on earth, move in three ways at once.We twirl around as it rotates on its axis.

    We whizz as it swirls around the sun.We hurtle with the sun as we gallop

    around the centre of our galaxy.

    The sun moves at 135 miles per secondaround the centre of the Milky Way!We, with our moon andplanets, go with it.Are you dizzy?

    There is order in the universe.We launch rockets knowing

    they will reach their target.Astronomers can predict theeclipse of the sun by the moon.*1They can work out the nextappearance of some comets.*2

    The distance of the sun from us is just right.This means we do not freeze or fry.

    There is order in the oceans too.Regular tides mean sailorscan depend on their

    predictability.

    Some planets rotate in theopposite way to the earth.Some moons rotate in theopposite way to their planets.*3

    How could these alternativeroutes have happened by chance?Dont they show a planned design?

    God said: "Let the water teemwith living creatures..."

    What beauty, what wonder,what majesty beneath the waves.

    Fish have a watery paradise in which to play.They can swim at 30 miles per hour within

    a second from being still.

    Fish take oxygen from water - not air.They gulp water and oxygen is absorbedthrough fan-like blood vessels in their gills.

    The water then flows out of slits in their gills.

    If fish really came out of water onto the landhow could they breathe with gills in water one

    day and then breathe air with lungs the next day?How could they evolve lungs before being out in the air?

    Barnacles, limpets and musselscling to rocks buffeted by the waves.

    If their suction device had not been atfull-strength straight away wouldn't they

    have been smashed by the pounding surf?

    Whale babies are born tail first*Most land animals are born head first.

    If whales came from land animals howcould they be born head first on land oneyear and tail first in water the next year?At birth babies have no air in their lungs sothe mother has to push them upwards for air.

    Whales mate belly to belly - other creatures do not.Both fish and animal tails go from side to side

    but whale tail-flukes move up and down.

    If this had evolved they would not have beenable to swim while the muscles moved around.

    Whales have blubber that does not freeze,ears that adapt to the changing depths of water,and blowholes on top of their head instead of a nose.

    Many whales migrate thousands of miles.Some even go from Mexico to Alaska and back.

    Others go from the Antarctic to the Arctic and back.They keep in touch by singing songs along the way.

    God said:... let birds fly above the earth

    Birds have hollow bones for lightness,and wings with feathers, also a special oil.

    Their breathing is different to other creatures -air goes round their body and not in and out.

    It passes through open-ended lung tubes

    and their bones and air-sacs neartheir neck, tail and wings.

    Birds have beaks and storage crops,and some have grinding gizzards,and more red cells for height.Their rib-bones have joints.Females go broody to sit on eggs.Song-birds have a special voice-box to sing.Apart from the ostrich no bird has a bladder.*If birds evolved what gave them the idea to fly?Why evolve wings if they are no use until complete?

  • 8/9/2019 The Wonder of Creation

    Feathers are a miracleof high tech engineering.

    The hollow quill reduces weight.The sideways strands have hookson one edge which latch onto theupturned edge of the next strand.

    Oil is kept in glands near the tail.It smoothes the strands allowingthe hooks to slide up and down.When the wings are raised the

    trapped air gives lift in flight.Until the ridges, hooks and

    oil connect - no flight.*1

    Eachfeather,

    when laidside by

    side,exactly fits.

    They havedifferently

    placedcolours,

    shapesand

    stripes.

    Different -yet when

    combined,they form

    a perfectmatch.

    If scales turned into feathers, howdid the creature avoid attack?A half-scale would be no

    use for its protection,and a half-featherno use for flight.*2

    God said:Let the land produce

    living creatures.Life, life and more life!Insect eggs turn into grubs.Frog spawn turns into tadpoles.Bird chicks hatch from warm shells.Reptile babies hatch from cold shells.Fish eggs are fertilized outside the body.Mammal eggs are fertilized in the body.Unless each different way worked first

    time how could there be young?

    Fish breathe in onedirection - throughtheir mouth and gills.

    Animals breathein two directions -in and out of lungs.Birds breathe in acircular route -through air sacsand open tubes.

    Plants absorb carbon

    and give out oxygen.Creatures absorboxygen and giveout carbon.If one way reallyevolved into another,during a so-calledcross-over time,how did they breathe?

    The umbilical cordtakes food andoxygen from

    mother to childUnless it waswhole firsttime howcould thebaby live?

    A baby at 8 weeks after conception

    Mammals have a cord, womb, placenta, tubes and milkAt birth a special jelly seals the broken ends of the umbilical cord.

    Unless this worked first time the baby would have bled and died.*Food and oxygen and anti-bodies go through the placenta

    wall from the mothers blood into the babys blood.

    These then go down the cord to the babys heart.

    During this time the baby lives in a water-sac.Unless the sac was whole first time the baby would die.Milk glands with the right strength of milk had to be right.How could the first baby have lived unless all ofthese things had worked together first time?

    How could pregnancy have evolved?

    Unless each stage worked properly,in the right order, the first time,

    the baby would have died.

    work first time.If just one stage was

    faulty there couldbe no young.

    Penguin fathers keep theegg warm on their feet with

    a fold of skin covered by feathers.If the egg is on the ice for more than two minutes when

    Mum passes it to Dad, the embryo inside gets cold and dies.The parent bond is so strong they can later leave the

    chicks and find them again in the crowd.Penguins sift salt out of sea waterthrough glands under their eyes.

    Dragonflies livein water, then airThey have three stages -egg, nymph and dragonfly.Eggs turn into shrimp-like nymphs.Later these climb a stalk, go above water,take a deep breath and break open their skin.New bodies emerge - some male - some female.How amazing is that? - and what wonderful wings!Their muscles work at once - and away they fly.Didnt the three stages have to work at once?If not, how could they breed and multiply?

    Butterflies hadto be adult at the start

    They have four different stages -egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly.

    Two caterpillars cannot make a butterfly.Two chrysalises cannot make a butterfly.

    Unless the stages had worked togetherfirst time, butterflies could not have

    grown up enough to lay eggs.

    Why a fish could not evolve into a frogBony fish do not have tears or eyelids - frogs do.

    If fish really came onto land their eyes wouldhave dried out before their tear-ducts andeyelids could have had time to evolve.

    Fish breed outsidethe body as theydrop the sperm

    and eggs intothe sea.

    Frogs breed bybeing claspedtogether on themothers back.

    The fathers legswould have to have

    evolved beforedoing this, so they

    could not have bred

    in an imaginarymiddle way stage.

    Frogs have three stages - egg, tadpole and frog.Two tadpoles cannot make a new frog.

    Unless each stage was completedtogether first time, how could

    they grow up enough toproduce more frogs?

    When tadpoles turn into frogs almost

    every tissue in their body is changed.Their tails get reabsorbed into theirbody, and does not drop off.

    Male andfemale could not have evolvedDNA information tells the body how to grow.

    It tells boys one way and girls another way.Growth instructions are in the first cell.No new information is later added in.

    Is there -evolution across different groups? NoChange within a family group? YesIt is onlysexual selection that gives variety.It re-mixes information that is already there.Natural selection does not have new information.

    It reduces the weak by no food, bad weather or attack.Dividing cells only repeat themselves and do not create.Mutations can only alter what is there and can not create.It is only sexual selection that shuffles existing material.But there is no mechanism to make something new.The information was in each groups original pair.

    Humans use their own intelligence to alter domestic breeds.They put together animals they like - but cats remain cats,

    dogs remain dogs and birds remain birds.

    Human and ape cells reject each other.In transplants they cannot be joined.

    Ape cells have an acid that doesnot mix with human cells.*If the cells fight each other

    how could they be fromthe same source?

    God created man in His own image,in the image of God He created him;male and female He created them."We are told three times that peoplewere created and not evolved.(Gen. Ch 1 v 27)

    None of it worksuntil all of it works

    Our bodies are a wonder of design.The heart-valve, the elbow, and ear!

    Each part had to be whole with otherwhole parts before any of it will work.

    So how could they have slowly evolved?Which came first - the blood or the heart?

    The mouth or the stomach?The skin or the insides?

    Knee-joint bones slide and roll.If theydont fit - ouch - it hurts!Was the oil ready at the start?*Didnt the ligamentshave to cross overand pull togetherin one go?

    Humans have

    some muscleswhich apesdo not have.We canstraightenour knees -apes can not.Our thumb musclesmean we can

    hold a pen.

    We have afoot arch -apes do not.Muscles hold thebones in place.Each part had towork together

    before being ableto take weight.

    Creatures adapt but donot change to another creature

    If bacteria mutate they are still bacteria.If a foal is a different shape it is still a horse.If a moth is a different colour it is still a moth.If a beak is a different shape it is still on a bird.

    Prof. Alan Linton MSc, PhD, DSc,FRCPath, Hon.ARCVS says:

    For 150 years innumerable populations of bacteriahave been cultured in laboratories, but despite

    possible mutations which naturally occur,new species of bacteria have never beenobserved. Mutations can cause

    variations in existing speciesbut do not produce

    different species.

    Elephants udders are between the front legs;

    horses and cows are between the back legs;and pigs and dogs are along the middle.Each is individual to its own kind.

    All female eggs havea protective membrane

    called Zona Pelucida*This stops healthy fertilization

    between different animal groups.Cows do not mix with horses, nor do

    cats mix with dogs, nor sheep with goats.If fertilization did happen, within two

    generations the offspring are sterile.Unnatural mixtures become extinct.

    DNAonly carries

    instructions -it is not the

    informationitself.

    Which came

    first - theinformation

    or the carrierof the

    information?

    Each wouldbe useless

    without

    the other -so they hadto be made

    togetherat once.

    We are not descended from one common ancestor,but from two - one male and one female.

    If they had evolvedwouldnt they need

    two lines of evolution - not one?How could they match?

    All creatures are made of cellsA single cell is more complicated than a computer.

    It is like a moving, organised and changing machine.Some parts only work if other parts are also there.Cells have proteins, acids, a nucleus and DNA.Each bit is precise in order, job and place.200 pieces are needed before it can live.It needed a whole outer cover at once.

    Each cell is organised for a different job.Organization needs outside intelligence.

    Where did that intelligence come from?

    Giraffes are the only land animal normally born back feet first.Their necks wrap around under their body, with their head

    under their tummy, and their front feet come out last.This stops them hitting their head on the ground.Didnt this have to happen first time?

    Jealousy, loyalty and love - doanimals have emotions too?

    Ponies pair, and crash throughfences if one is taken away.Dogs stay loyal to humansshowing sadness if apart.

    Geese guard each otherand, if necessary, fight.Hens have friends and

    pine if made to part.

    Which came first babies or parents?

    Wouldnt a babyon its own die?

    How could a babybe born unless

    the parents

    exist?

    If reptiles changed to mammals,why develop young that need more care?

    What is wrong with a perfectly adequate reptile egg?Why provide milk when baby reptiles can eat by themselves?

    Crocodiles get energy from the sun and cannot attack when cold.

    What is the processof natural selection?

    It comes from outside - not inside.It removes the weak by no food,by enemies or by bad weather.With no process inside the bodyhow could it have made a limb,a feather, a tooth or an eye?

    Mutations are mostly bad.They are like going one step

    sideways and a hundred back.

    If one went forward it would becancelled out by others going back.

    Because they can not create, howcould they have made a limb,

    a feather, a tooth or an eye?

    Arent two gender creatures more complicated than one?If they evolved wouldnt it have taken twice as long?

    These creatures usually pair and both lay eggs.*

    How could life go on while supposedlywaiting for them to mature?

    Why evolve male and femalebefore knowing whether

    If not, how could there have been young?Arent parents rather like a violin and bow -

    different and separate, and useless apart,but when they are put together they can

    play the most beautiful note?

    Surely only God,

    who can see the endfrom the beginning,could plan two oppositethings to instantly fit?

    If any water is inhaled the baby would drown.The umbilical cord had to break for the first time.

    Blood each side of the cut cord had to clot first time.Extra blood had to be sent to the lung vessels first time.

    Then the lungs had to inflate on their own the first time.Lungs breathing in and out had to work the first time.

    Milk from the mother had to be there the first time.Babies had to know how to suckle the first time.

    Mum had to protect her baby the first time.It all had to happen together first time,

    so could not have slowly evolved.

    The Law- despite local authority guidelines the law allows the teaching of special creation.

    The U.K. 1988 Education Reform Act, Section 8. 3 tells us that: The agreed syllabus must reflect

    the fact that thereligious traditions in Great Britain are in the main Christian, whilst taking

    account of the teachings and practices of the other principal religions represented in Great Britain.

    The European Centre for Law and Justice says: to censor discussion and teaching ofcreationism wouldviolate the spirit as well as the letters of democracy enshrined in the

    European Convention on Human Rights, the Charter on the Fundamental Rights of the European Union,

    and the UN Convention on the rights of the Child. It also says that censorship would hamperthe

    educational progress of students by restricting their examination of competing scientific

    ideas and would necessarily violate the freedom of expression, including academic freedom, as well as

    the right to the free exercise of religion.

    The USA Supreme Court said in 1987 (in Edwards v Aguillard): Teaching a variety of scientific

    theories about the origins of humankind to school children might be validly done with the clear secular

    intent of enhancing the effectiveness of science instruction.
