And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. (Gen 1:16) So God created man in his own image,

And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. (Gen 1:16) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. (Gen 1:27) For not all flesh is the same, but there is one kind for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. (1 Cor 15:39)

“The Origin of Species”

  • On the Origin of

Species by means of Natural Selection, 
or the Preservation

  • f Favoured Races in

the Struggle for Life

  • By Charles Darwin

Natural Selection

  • The undirected chance processes by which life changes

and adapts to meet environmental conditions.

  • The Process known as NATURAL SELECTION involves:

– Environmental Pressures (Climate, Food, Predation) – Random Mutation & Genetic Drift – Survival of the Fittest / Reproduction Capability

  • Small Changes Over Time from simple to complex
  • All life descended from a common ancestor

The Race to Find the “Missing Link”

  • Piltdown Man: partial skull and jawbone…
  • f an orangutan
  • Nebraska Man : a tooth…of a pig
  • Peking Man: 5 skulls +…all disappeared
  • Heidelberg Man: a Jawbone…of ?
  • Java Man: Leg bone and skull cap…of a gibbon?

What About Lucy?

  • 3’ 6” tall
  • “female”
  • 40% Complete skeleton
  • Only fragments of skull
  • Is this your ancestor?

Proof of Evolution?

  • Transitional or Intermediate Forms?

– Ape to Man : Different hominid fossils? – Dinosaur to Bird: Archaeopteryx? – Wolflike to whale : Whale with legs?

  • Vestigial Organs? (vestiges of the past)

– Human Appendix? – Whale pelvic bones?

Irreducible Complexity

“By irreducibly complex I mean a single system composed of several well-matched, interacting parts that contribute to the basic function, wherein the removal of any one of the parts causes the system to effectively cease functioning. An irreducibly complex system cannot be produced directly (that is, by continuously improving the initial function, which continues to work by the same mechanism) by slight, successive modifications

  • f a precursor system, because any precursor to an

Irreducibly complex system that is missing a part is by definition nonfunctional.”

– Darwin’s Black Box by Michael Behe, p 39

Current DNA Science & Origins

  • Y Chromosome

– passed down from Father to son – all males today descended from a common male

  • Mitochondrial DNA

– passed down from mother to children – all people go back to “Mitochondrial Eve”

  • All humans today are genetically related

– To a source in Africa

slide-14
SLIDE 14

DNA Evidence and Scripture

  • All humans are related
  • All humans descended from same male and female
  • There are 3 main female lines which corresponds to the 3

women on the Ark

  • Less variability w/i male lines than female – corresponds to

the separating by Noah’s sons after Babel

BioGenesis

  • How did Chemistry become Biology?
  • Why Only once?
  • Why can’t we replicate in the lab?

Theistic Evolution?

  • What are the impacts to our Theology?
  • Did humans also evolve then?
  • Was there special creation of Adam & Eve?
  • Was there a Fall?
  • The Slippery Slope…

Literal Adam, Eve & Fall

  • For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the

dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. (1 Cor 15:21-22)

  • 12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man,

and death through sin, and so death spread to all men[e] because all sinned— 13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come. (Romans 5)

Dueling Worldviews

  • Theory of Evolution via Natural Selection
  • Scope: Molecules to Man vs. Variation w/i Animal Family
  • Degree of change: Macro-Evolution and Micro-Evolution
  • Origins: Tree of Life vs. Orchard of Life
  • Genes: “Simple to Complex” vs. Loss or Misinformation
  • Mutations: Beneficial vs. neutral, detrimental, or different
  • DNA: Information by chance vs. Information by Intelligence
  • Small Changes all Useful vs. Irreducible Complexity
  • Historical Science is proven vs. Historical Science is inferred
  • Life Originated out of struggle vs. Life created as good
  • Random, Undirected, Chance vs. Purposefully Planned

Take Aways

  • The Bible Says God Created Kinds 1o times in Gen 1
  • The Bible Says Man & Woman were made in God’s image
  • The Bible Says that God breathed life into Humans
  • Natural Selection is observed as Micro-Evolution (Orchard)
  • Macro-Evolution/Tree of Life is only inferred (not observed)
  • Observational Science = what we can test and see
  • Historical Science = what we infer about the past
  • Darwinism has no idea regarding Biogenesis? How did

Chemistry become Biology?

Implications of Darwinism

  • What does Darwinism say about:

– Life? – Morals? – Purpose? – Our Goals?
