Design

The Circulatory System is one of about a dozen different systems in the body that cannot work independently of the others. The respiratory system, nervous system, muscular system, lymphatic system and others all interconnect intricately with the circulatory system and if one part fails, the others cannot function. At birth, God designed the baby’s circulatory system to disconnect from the placenta and instantly kick start into new life. This is evidence for design.

The life cycle of the butterfly goes through four stages: egg, caterpillar, chrysalis and adult. The origin of this seemingly Rube Goldberg process is inexplicable from an evolutionary scenario. Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar turns into a jelly of undifferentiated cells. Then, they all begin to diversify and assume their role as parts of the adult butterfly.

Ever since Darwin declared the tonsils to be a rudimentary or useless organ, doctors have routinely removed them as a preventive measure against colds. In the 1930’s to 1950’s, half of all children had that procedure done as a matter of course. But now the removal of tonsils is associated with all kinds of risks and diseases and nowadays the medical community discourages the removal of tonsils except only in extreme emergencies.

Derek Marshall discovers a new perspective on the origin of life experiments where he reviews the results and finds that the amino acids of higher molecular weight and complexity were not found. He finds a reason for this and explains that this in of itself is reason to believe that evolution of life from non-life is impossible within the deep time constraints evolutionists give.

One of the central claims of evolution is that as life went through its progression of development, some of the organs and features began to lose their original function and became vestiges of their original purpose. The appendix is one of these that in the past was considered to be such, but now the functions are known. Jerry Bergman’s book “Useless Organs: The Rise and Fall of a Central Claim of Evolution” shows that this argument has fallen by the wayside with the discover

The left recurrent laryngeal nerve proceeds from the brain down the spine, goes around the aorta and then is routed back up to the larynx. This is cited as an example of poor design by Richard Dawkins and was one of the things that convinced him that living things are just a collection of evolutionary mistakes. But I issue a challenge to Dawkins to surgically reroute this nerve, shorten it and as a result improve a person’s speech and voice.

The claim made by evolutionists that the eye is poorly designed is irresponsible, and reflects a lack of understanding of basic biology. Their argument is that the retina is backwards of what is expected with the photoreceptors pointing away from the source of light. But if you examine closely what actually goes on in the eye, the photoreceptors are in a spot where cells are replaced rapidly, and need to be near the blood vessels where nutrients are supplied and waste cells a

A new fossil found in Peru called Peregocetus is much more like an otter than a whale. It is interesting that in an attempt to prove evolution, paleontologists line up fossil creatures in a sequence much like aligning silverware in a sequence from forks to spoons. The incredible number of changes needed to evolve a whale from a land mammal defies credibility.

Derek Marshall shows that the Bible exhibits the use of fibonacci numbers and that is also reflected in life. The fibonacci series is 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144, 233, (377) and each number adds to the previous to get the next number. This pattern is found throughout life and in the orders given by God to build the ark and the temple. Dr. Don DeYoung shows the use of the fibonacci series in the way leaves are arranged on trees in a Math Matters article.

Dr. Jerry Bergman is updating his book about vestigial organs, the concept that there are organs evolution left behind in its development that are no longer useful. Around 1900, there was a list of 180 such organs that were considered vestigial. Now, due to modern research, there are none left. All are functional and those functions are known.

90% of the earth’s processes yield dates that are far too young for evolution to have occurred. Dr. D. Russell Humphreys has documented these in his presentations and on-line articles for your consideration. They include galaxies winding up too fast, too few nebulae in the visible universe, too much mud flow into the sea floor, decay of DNA and other biological matter, magnetic field decay and over 100 others.

Doug Sharp dives into his old Revolution Against Evolution book to review some of his arguments to see if they still hold up after over 30 years. He examines the linked entities of creatures where interdependence between them prevent their evolution. The linkological evaluation of the frog in the original book stills holds up as an example of over 30 characteristics that depend upon each other.

The Origins Truth Conference at North Carolina State on 11/10/2018 featured Dr. John Sanford, inventor of the gene gun, giving talks about Genetic Entropy and Contested Bones. Also Dr. D. Russell Humphreys gave a talk about Planetary Magnetic Fields and Peter Borger talked about the Illusion of Natural Selection and Baranomes. The hosts were Helmut Welke of Creation Summit and Dan Reynolds of the Triangle Association of Science and Creation.

The RNA World is a hypothesis of the origin of life starting with RNA and building the components of life around it. But if you study the process that is needed to build the RNA molecule there is a series of nineteen different obstacles that must be overcome.

Nine out of ten species alive today have arisen in the last 200,000 years, according to a new genetic study. This research looked at select portions of DNA from 100,000 different species, and researchers found a telltale sign showing that almost all the animals emerged about the same time as humans. Not only that, the study also found (rather unexpectedly for evolutionists) species have very clear genetic boundaries, and nothing much in between.

The dimensions of the molten sea found in Solomon’s temple have often been a bit of controversy among skeptics of the bible who point out that the diameter and circumference don’t quite accurately reflect pi. In addition one account talks about the volume being 2,000 baths, and another 3,000. Derek Marshall solves these issues and observes that the dimensions of each of the parts of the molten sea reflect God’s design in the periodic table of elements.

Derek Marshall speculates what kind of engineering it might take to create a hive of mechanical honeybees that would perform the duties of gathering nectar to make honey. He compared it to an air traffic control navigation problem with miniature hovercraft weighing 1/10 of an ounce.

Many years ago, elephants near the cape of South Africa were hunted to near extinction because the people in the area were having problems with them. In a place called Addo, the elephants retreated to a spot where it was almost impossible for them to be hunted. Eventually an area was set aside as a elephant park and fenced in. They were fed citrus fruit and the elephants would congregate in one area waiting for their daily feeding. But the elephants destroyed the habitat and

Emerald ash borer, beech bark disease, pine tree blight, Dutch elm disease, chestnut blight. All have devastated our forests and we wonder if the plagues of Deuteronomy 28 are upon us. People ask why God allowed this in His creation. There are answers, but we may not like or understand them.

A mathematical pattern exists throughout scripture that matches a pattern found in nature and in the chemical elements.
