 PART 20

Follow the evidence

After examining this evidence -which is only a small part of the total body of evidence - we've seen that scientists do not have any proof for the theory of evolution.

And we've seen that macroevolution does not explain how life could have come into being, or how life could have evolved from simple to complex forms.

Let's look at just a few more quotes from those who have considered the evidence - or lack thereof.

On the origin of life, noted evolutionist Nobel Prize Winner and Harvard professor George Wald said:

One has only to contemplate the magnitude of this task to concede that the spontaneous generation of a living organism is impossible. Yet here we are as a result, I believe, of spontaneous generation.

This eminent scientist
acknowledges that
 spontaneous generation
 is scientifically
 impossible, yet he chooses to believe that this is how life began!  Here's someone intelligent enough to win a Nobel Prize, yet stubborn enough to deny the obvious facts.

Sir Ernest Chain, co-holder of the Nobel Prize for developing penicillin, addresses the other main aspect of evolution:

To postulate that the development and survival of the fittest is entirely a consequence of chance mutations seems to me  a hypothesis based on no evidence and irreconcilable with the facts. These classical evolutionary theories are a gross over-simplification of an immensely  complex and  intricate mass of facts and it amazes me that they are swallowed so uncritically and readily, and for such a long time, by so many scientists without a murmur of protest 
( emphasis added).

If you want to find the truth, always follow the evidence, no matter where it leads.

Evolution from one species to another is one of the biggest lies ever perpetrated on mankind. As Adolf Hitler said, "The bigger the lie, the more people will believe in it."   I bought into the lie of evolution for years. However, the evidence just isn't there; the facts don't support it. So I am not swallowing the lie  anymore, and I hope you won't either. 

But why is it that people just believe the theory without taking a hard look at the evidence to see where it leads?  Why would scientists accept it so uncritically?

For an amazing  statement that gets to the heart of the matter, consider this honest admission by evolutionist Richard Lewontin, Harvard genetics professor:

Our willingness to accept scientific claims that are against common sense is the key to an understanding of the real struggle between science and the supernatural. We take the side of science  in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs ... in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated  just-so stories, because we have a  prior commitment, a commitment to materialism.....

Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine Foot in at the door. To appeal to an omnipotent deity is to allow that  at any moment the regularities of nature may be ruptured, that miracles may happen. 

And there you have it. A moment of truth. Dr Lewontin actually admits that no matter where the evidence leads, he is not going to consider it. If the evidence clearly points to  "a Divine Foot  in the door," he will not accept it.

Why?  The reason is the same for all: once we know there is a God, we know that we must answer to that God. And some people , despite the evidence, just don't want to go there. Which way are you going to let the evidence take you? 

Robert Jastrow, director of NASA's  Goddard Institute for Space Studies , clearly points out the options:

Perhaps the appearance of life on earth is a miracle. Scientists are reluctant to accept that view, but their choices are limited; either life was created on the earth by the will of a being outside the grasp of scientific understanding, or it evolved on our planet spontaneously, through chemical reactions occurring in non-living matter lying on the surface of the planet.

There are only two options. Our immediately complex universe came into being by chance or it was created by the hand of God. Which one will you choose?  Be sure your choice is based on the facts, not blind faith. Your future depends on it. 

Here's another truth to
consider. If you choose not to believe in a God Who created you, but  instead think you're nothing but an accidental result of random chance processes , then you believe the following:


*  There is no qualitative difference 
    between humans and animals.
*  There ultimately is no meaning in life
*  There is no life after death
*  There is no purpose to human history.

Do these thoughts fit well with your reasoning?  Or do you intuitively know that humans have special value and that there is a purpose behind your life?

Like some people you may not want to acknowledge that there is a God to Whom you are accountable. We all will die one day . Eventually we will have to face that fact, even if we deny it with every breath in our body. Remember the "ultimate statistic"  : Ten out of ten people die. And when you take your last breath , God will still be there. Then what?

When looking at the amazing evidence in this chapter, you can see that it is true that if a frog turns into a prince it is only a fairy tale, and it will never be a scientific fact.

The evidence tells us we were made by a Creator. We are not here by accident; we were created for a reason.

The mystery of life is getting clearer as our search for eternal truth narrows. Let's see where the evidence leads us now.
