Re: The Bible versus Scientific Evidence

开云体育Hi there everyone I am enjoying your emails and opinions .All the advances man has made and we are no closer to the big question. My question is how do you create something from nothing (Big Bang) and all living being from that.I read that we
humans and apes share over 95% of the same DNA and also that today humans do not use 100% of brain capacity . Maybe we are still evolving. That is not to say I believe we are evolved from apes just adding to the conversation. Thank you for sharing Mandy?

Hi Merlene,
Possibly the fact that Wikipedia bags Creation Ministries is a badge of honour. Creation Ministries is a group of scientists who believe in the Young Earth and produce a voluminous amount of scientific papers, books and DVDs making their case.?
They also speak at various churches and conduct, as far as I am aware, occasional seminars.? They're also available to debate scientists with the opposing view, though few take them up.? The Australian and USA divisions are the same body.? They seem to me
to be particularly strong in geology, biology and information science, including DNA.? Young Earth is, I think, a subset of the more generalised Intelligent Design which argues forcefully that anything as complex as life must have a designer.
One point that you may wish to consider.? If Darwinism (e.g., macroevolution) has been debunked, and it HAS been even though leftist politics still forces it to be taught as politically correct "science" in education, the issue of trying to force
the Bible to fit evolution would seem to be counter-productive.? Either one believes in the Bible or they don't.? Either one believes in Darwinism, or they don't. Belief in Darwinism is actually closer to a religion than belief that the Bible is divinely inspired
is.? At least the Bible actually claims to be divinely inspired (2 Tim 3:16-17), while Darwinism (macroevolution) simply masquerades as science.
Blessings,
Ray

Hi Ray, Carole, Christine and Peter,
?
Thankyou for your input.? A few thoughts for comment:
?
1.? Carole:? I haven’t heard of Creation Ministries. Wikipedia does not speak kindly of them.? What “religion” or beliefs do they purport to follow?? I am ALWAYS suspicious of US driven
religious propaganda.? There appears to be two different bodies – the one in Brisbane and an International one.? Which one should I be investigating?? And do they have
conspiracy tendencies?? Would you please send a link to WHICH site you refer?? Thanks.
?
2. Peter:? I have always strongly believed that evolution (including by natural selection) DOES NOT occur outside species.? Original species may evolve and change considerably adapting to changing environmental conditions etc. (Galapagos Island) but a
bear doesn’t change into an ape over time!? Who would be so foolhardy to suggest that God looks like an Ape!? Yet that is what we have been taught – that we evolved from Apes!
Original organisms could only have come from the One who created the universe and our world – agree with your comment.
?
3. Christine:?? I have not heard of Dr John F. Ashton.? Thank you for your suggestion.?
And no, it’s not too late to continue the fun of names – as Ray has commented several times, Names are very significant.
?
Thanks everyone for your comments.? Please don’t stop – there are still a lot of questions I asked!!?
?
Sincerely,
Merlene

Hi Merlene
You may find the books of award winning Australian scientist, Dr John F Ashton, helpful. His credentials are impressive.
?
His books are readily available. The ones perhaps most relevant to help answer your query are:
Evolution Impossible, and
In Six Days ( which is a compilation of essays by PhD scientists covering many areas of expertise and supporting a young earth outlook).
?
Carole's suggestion of Creation Ministries is good. They give short, interesting bites but are careful to include references to aid in further research if you are so inclined.
?
I did intend to add? comment on the fun sharing of the significance of names that you started up. Maybe too late now!
?
Enjoy your continuing studies,
Christine
