Design

If you were given an assignment as an engineer to create a living cell or any kind of organism or machine that emulates life, what would you need to do? Doug explains the chemistry that is behind life and looks at the barriers that scientists would need to ascend in order for its synthesis. The chemistry of proteins is just one of many complex processes that are beyond explanation. Amino acids, when they are synthesized, are produced in equal amounts of left-handed and right-

The second law of thermodynamics prevents the creation of perpetual motion machines and it is also a major complication for the theory of evolution. Dr. John Sanford points out that there is an additional layer on top of that he calls “genetic entropy” where the loss of information due to harmful mutations leads to a limit on the time life can continue to exist. At the rate of 300 deleterious mutations per generation it caused Dr. Kondrashov to ask the question, “Why aren’t w

Many features of life either exist or they don’t. A cold-blooded creature like a frog is far different from a warm-blooded animal like a giraffe. Some time in a supposed evolutionary development a cold-blooded reptile switched over to being warm-blooded. Other examples: non-life to life, gills to lungs, non-flying to flying, mammals to whales, and special valves in the neck of the giraffe.

Derek Marshall explains that there is evidence of design in that the biological molecules of earth are formed from 5-6 elements from the 3rd period of the periodic table creating a digital combination lock, a form of encryption. The chemical space created by this encryption is a possible 10 to the 60th power of possible organic compounds under 500 Daltons. Derek’s model shows that generation of the larger amino acids of the 20 that are used by life are not probable under orig

Dr. Jean-Guy Daigneault examines the claim that the spine is poorly designed because we are still recovering from the evolutionary development where man is walking upright. This is a review of the first chapter of the book Poor Design by Dr. Jerry Bergman. As a chiropractor, Dr. Jean-Guy takes advantage of the spine’s functionality where it heals itself, and to claim it is poorly designed is irresponsible.

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.
