One of the arguments atheists
throw at everything is: time; even though through scientific observation
systems always (after an initial growth phase) fall into entropy—so throwing “time”
at anything in an observational mode—makes things fall apart—not get
"better."
If you have a kindergartener
look at a car, they will through observation, have enough common sense to know
the car didn't just magically come together, it had a designer, factories, and
intelligent thought behind it.
What's amazing to me, is the
scientists who having observed how complicated a single celled amoeba is, how
some are so complex, they contain more DNA than a human, and can adapt to their
environment (and no adaptation within a "kind" is not
"evolution," and theses same scientist will admit it when confronted
that it is not) how they can possibly think through their blind faith that
entropic time would "magically" come up with complex factories (the
proteins that bind and create the parts) without a design, or plan.
How complex is a single
celled amoeba? Much more so than a car.
In this article (please ignore all the made up time line stuff of which they
have no proof and in fact, scenarios of provable scientifically measurable
phenomena [like the speed of the earth’s rotation, and the force of gravity]
prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that earth could not be possibly anywhere near
that old, but hey let's ignore the measurable science that does prove we are on
a young earth, because if we don’t, there is no way the faith of evolution will
work) http://newscenter.berkeley.edu/2010/03/04/naegleria/
After ignoring the unprovable
ridiculous timeline stuff which doesn’t fit into provable observable science,
and the unprovable primordial “soup” theory, we do come across some interesting
“provable” observations mentioned in the article:
Naegleria is a common soil
amoeba – the sequenced organism was isolated from the mud in a grove of
eucalyptus trees on the UC Berkeley campus – that, under stress, quickly grows
two flagella, like sperm tails, that it uses to swim around. It has a third
identity, a hard cyst, that can persist in the soil until conditions become damp
and warm enough for it to turn into an amoeba.
“This one-celled organism
hunts and eats bacteria as an amoeba, swims around looking for a better
environment as a flagellate, and then hunkers down and waits for good times as
a cyst,” Prochnik said. “It is a very rare process to go from amoeba to
flagellate like this.”
Not surprisingly, the
organism is packed with genes that help support these three personalities, he
said. He and his colleagues report that this amoeboflagellate contains 15,727
genes coding for proteins, while humans have 23,000 protein-coding genes.
Now if this single celled
amoeba is so complex that it contains factories complex enough to adapt the
organism to its environment, that would be the equivalent of a “car” being
complex enough to create its own oil, antifreeze, and put its own snow tires on
when faced with winter.
Just the fact that this can
happen on a such a small scale is amazing. Many scientist equate “microscopic”
with the term “simple” even when provided with the proof that nothing could be
further from the truth.
No one would suggest that
computer code magically falls into place to write programs. Programs have a
designer. DNA is nothing more than an organic computer code, based on four
proteins. Then we have ribonucleic acid, (RNA).
Humans have evolved to the
point where we’ve created 8 bit computer codes based on the simple processing
of “light on, light off.”
To suggest that self building
organic machines just “happened” with “time” and “inert gases” thrown in, that
somehow came together (everyone knows and it’s scientifically provable that
gases disperse [especially in a vacuum] when left to their own devices. Go
ahead, pop a helium balloon if you don‘t believe me.)
Anyway, is it really that
hard to understand that there are beings made of light, and/or that live within
plasma, the most abundant form of matter in the universe? The speed of light is
the closest we can get to understanding the concept of living “outside of time.”
As beings trapped within the
laws that govern our universe, how amazing will it be when we can break free
from those constraints?
God exists outside time. He “created”
time for the universe we live in now. He does promise, that for those who
accept Him as Creator and Savior, that we will be able to join Him someday, in
a world no longer contained within time. A “new” heaven and “new earth.”
For those of us trapped
inside time, the concept of living outside of it is a real mind bender, but
that is exactly, what God promises in the Holy Scriptures. Forever and ever. A
day is as a thousand years. Simple language for a concept too large from a God
more amazing than anything we can imagine.
Provable science actually
confirms what the Scriptures have said all along. There is no need for
believers to avoid science. But there is a need for believers to get
scientists to stop throwing “time” around as a way to make evolution work, when
it’s been proven time leads inevitably to only one end, entropy.
