Natural Selection Presupposes Creation 自然选择预先内设创造 Natural selection is the flagship of Darwinism 1. Natural is not a person. It does not select. 2. Nature provides the conditions for

organisms. 3. An organism already possesses the genes to

adapt. Those who do not adapt would die off. 4. It is not a creative process, but conservative. 5. Therefore, natural selection presupposes

creation.

Natural Selection Presupposes Creation 自然选择预先内设创造 Natural selection and adaptation preserve life

forms, and not generate new ones Life was created fully functional Natural selection does not think or provide Organisms show adaptation, not natural select Genome study shows purpose, not selection Eyes were designed rather than natural select Natural selection is not nature’s intelligence Genetic cross-over does not help evolution

Natural Selection Presupposes Creation 自然选择预先内设创造 Life depends on non-natural DNA information Mutation buildup indicates life is young Mimicry is based on elegant genetic switches An energy conversion system is required Natural selection does not explain flight Ancestors were faster than modern Olympians Living fossils display no signs of long ages

1. Beetle larva bifocals are better than manmade

Natural Selection Presupposes Creation 自然选择预先内设创造 Researchers see fish adapt in one generation Mind behind the design: life’s specifications Octopus cold adaptation surprises scientists Oldest animal fossils evolved in wrong places Even bacteria seem to follow the Golden Rule Preadaptation is not a blow to irreducible

complexity Gecko eyes make great night vision cameras Fish’s mirror eyes reflect the Creator

Natural Selection Presupposes Creation 自然选择预先内设创造 Probability and order versus evolution Natural selection versus supernatural design Natural selection was coined by Edward Blyth Pseudo-science attacks irreducible complexity Snail changes outpace evolution’s slow crawl Caterpillar discloses evolutionary disagreement Study shows bird species change fast Fish rapidly adapted to cold water Mutation fixation: dead end for macro-evolution

Richard Leakey’s Mistake 理查德 ·利基的错误

Richard Leakey is the son of the late Louis Leakey.

Richard found the famous Skull 1470 over 20 years ago

The Skull 1470 shook the interpretation of the fossils at that time. It was quite modern and yet found in old formation.Recently, Richard Leakey made the mistake of announcing that fossil discoveries will soon convince skeptics to give up their views

Richard Leakey’s Mistake 理查德 ·利基的错误

Richard Leakey forgot that all fossils must be interpreted based on one’s preconceived ideas.

Regardless how many fossils will be discovered, they are always subjected to interpretations based on the perceiver. Therefore, Richard Leakey made the grave mistake of announcing that “fossil discoveries will soon convince skeptics to give up their views.”

Fossils are Subjected to Interpretations 化石必须基于成见来解释 If fossils are dated with carbon-14, they must be

young (thousands of years) If fossils are dated with potassium-40 to argon-

40, they must be old (millions of years) All fossils must be interpreted to fit preconceived

ideas Zinjanthropus was dated to be about 10,000

years old using carbon-14 dating on the bone Australopithecus was dated to be about 2 million

years using K-40 to Ar-40 on the rocks!

document millions of years? How did marine organisms end up in tree sap? Illustrations of ancient humans skew facts Oldest fossils are just naturally occurring minerals

evolution? The Coconino Sandstone: A flood or a desert?

Did snakes prey on dinosaurs 67 m. y. ago? Our great ancestors were… sponges? Fossil fibers befuddle dinosaur evolution Alleged evolutionary ancestors coexisted with

modern humans Carbon dating of 70 million old mosasaur soft

tissues yields surprising results

amphibians The Apple (Computer) bites the African Eve Stunning new evidence of a higher ancient sea

level (70 feet higher) New species was just a tiny human Fossils fall into separate distinct catergories,

but catastrophism is the rule of geology Fossil pigment paints long ages into a corner

Fossils are Subjected to Interpretations 化石必须基于成见来解释 Banner fossil for evolution is demoted Ancient teeth overturn human evolution Scientists late to recognize human and giant

mammal coexistence Circular reasoning in evolutionary biology Frozen penguin DNA casts doubt on DNA-

the ice age? Laetoli footprints out of step with evolution

Human Fossils are Extremely Rare人类化石是极其罕见的 About 95% of all fossils are marine invertebrate

fossils Of the remaining 5%, 4.7% are algae and

plants Of the remaining 0.3%, 0.2% are insects and

other invertebrates, and 0.1% are vertebrates Only the smallest imaginable fraction of the

0.1% of vertebrate fossils consists of primates All these primates were either apes or humans We have not seen one single fossil that is

between an ape and a human

Evolution is mathematically impossible 进化是数学上不可能 Henry Morris posted the above amazing title in

the icr website. Natural selection is supposed to put good

mutations in the genome. However, no one has ever observed such a good mutation.

To examine this process, start with an organism with only 1 part. Then build a simple organism gradually to only 200 parts.

Suppose each mutation has equal probability to be good or bad, 200 successive mutations to be good would be (0.5)200, or 1 chance in 1060.

04/19/23 27

Evolution is mathematically impossible 进化是数学上不可能 We know that a one-celled plant or animal has

millions of molecular parts. Suppose we give 10 billion years (= 1018 sec).

Suppose we give each mutation 0.5 sec. Then 200 mutations would require 100 sec. If not successful, start over again. Suppose every one of the earth’s 1014 sq ft has 109 mutating systems.

In 1018 sec, 1016 trials by each mutating system. No. of attempts = 1014x109x1016 = 1039. The probability of success = 1060/1039 = 1021.

04/19/23 28

Evolution is mathematically impossible 进化是数学上不可能 This means that the chance that any kind of a

200-component integrated functioning organism could be developed by mutation and natural selection just once, anywhere in the world, in all assumed expanse of geologic time, is less then 1 chance in a billion trillion.

Emil Borel, a Swiss mathematician, declared that 1 chance in 1015 is negligible.

Therefore, evolution by mutation and natural selection is mathematically impossible and logically indefensible.

04/19/23 29

Evolution is mathematically impossible 进化是数学上不可能 Other authors came to the same conclusion: James Coppedge: “Evolution: Possible or

Impossible” (Zondervan, 1973, 276 pp.) W.A. Williams: “Evolution Disproved” (1943) Wistar Institute Symposium: “Mathematical

Challenges to the Neo-Darwinian Interpretation of Evolution” (1967, 140 pp.) While these scientists did not reject evolution, they did insist that the Darwinian randomness postulate would never work.

04/19/23 30

Evolution is mathematically impossible 进化是数学上不可能 Many writers have used the law of increasing

entropy to show evolution on any scale is impossible. Evolutionists have usually ignored the arguments or used vacuous arguments such as “Anything can happen given enough time”; “The earth is an open system, so the second law doesn’t apply”; “Order can arise out of chaos through dissipative structures”; etc.

In the real world of observation, as opposed to metaphysical speculation, no more complex system can ever “evolve” out of a less complex system. The probability of evolution is zero!
