  • Darwin’s idea of natural selection involves long ages of trial and error, making it a fundamentally death-driven concept. Could such a process be adapted to fit a Christian narrative? Or is natural selection an idolatrous idea that can seduce even those who hold to a biblical worldview?
    On this episode of Creation.Live, Drs. Thomas, Tomkins, Clarey, and Guliuzza answer these questions and more as they discuss the scholarly literature on the subject.
    This episode is part of a three part series on the topic of natural selection.

    Thank you for the great discussion of natural selection. I think this new idea of designed adaptability is the right track.
    I do want to say, though, that evidence will never convert a sinner who suppresses the truth in unrighteousness (cf. Rom 1:18-20). What these 3 podcasts have done extremely well is to answer the fool according to his folly so that he cannot be wise in his own eyes (Proverbs 26:5). Once a person admits to the inconsistency of his own worldview, his faith in his idol is destabilized. What he then needs is proclamation of the truth, not more evidence that he should weigh that he might judge God. Man needs to be shown that God is the judge, and it is man himself who is on trial! Remember, there is no neutral ground on which to stand and impartially weigh evidence. Interpretations will always depend on the presuppositions of one's worldview. Your friend did not realize there was better evidence for creation. Rather, he realized that the emperor (evolution) had no clothes! Then he was ready to hear the truth.

      There is no battle between science and Bible. Instead, there is the battle between atheism and science. The famous atheist Richard Dawkins’ words are revealing: “Darwin made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist.” Here Dawkins (perhaps inadvertently) admitted that atheism has never had anything to do with intellect or science. Atheists are of course happy if they feel like getting some support from Darwin's old pseudo scientific ideas. We can see Dawkins’ atheistic world view, but no scientific approach from him.
      Atheists seem to be painfully ignorant of genome’s limits to produce evolution in the body plan of any given organism. Only superficial adaptive changes are scientifically verified. Natural selection could produce evolution if it could deliver new genes to the survivors. Natural selection however delivers nothing! It just destroys the individuals who have less suitable genes for the environment where they live. The winners must go on with the genes they have = no evolution. Because the intraspecies adaptation happens through gene loss, we see devolution not evolution.
      Isn't this funny? The so-called evolution is in fact devolution through continuous gene loss. The Law of Entropy guarantees that the overall direction of earth's ecosystem is decay and extinction. So evolutionists are in fact quite comical individuals 😃
      Mutations can’t help evolution either. Science doesn't know mutations that could transform the body plan of any given organism. All known mutations have been non-structural like sickle-cell mutation, lactose tolerance, wingless flies, antibiotic resistant bacteria etc.
      Atheism is a religion. Not all religions are centered on a belief in a god, gods, or supernatural forces. The famed psychanalyst Sigmund Freud described religion as "a form of wish fulfillment". That fits perfectly to the godless religion called atheism.

      "...discard this pagan concept of "natural selection". " I'm creationist and I see the natural selection as a fact. But it also is a fact that natural selection does not generate evolution but devolution. No new genes appear in natural selection and no new genes means no evolution. All deceased individuals take their genes with them so the population's gene pool impoverish and becomes more one-sided. Evolution instead would need a richer gene pool, not a poorer gene pool.

      There is no open discussion to be had, because there is no neutral common ground. The battle is not one of evidence, but of worldview. I don't mean that there cannot be civil discussion. Rather, I mean that a battle of evidence will be futile, because evidence is always interpreted based on one's presuppositions. What this podcast does really well is to expose some major flaws in the naturalistic worldview.

      I suppose this idea depends on who is included in the discussion. As we heard in episode one, Dr. Thomas was once a secular evolutionist. It is clear that some people are willing to consider all reasonable options. Since the worldview presented here does in fact have some observable support in nature, it isn’t impossible to have an interesting conversation with people on both sides of the issue. The trick is to lay down the ground rules for what the topic is. The conversation should be limited to the topics of pre-programmed adaptation and “macroevolution” dictated by nature.

ICR's founder Dr. Morris has a great book (The Long War Against God) where one of the central tenants is that evolutionary ideas are NOT new in any way, and big chunk of Darwin's theory was proposed by Greek philosophers thousand of years ago. The central premise is that Satan is trying to tell the same theme, the same lie, in slightly different variations across time.

    Hairs of hares whitening with winter and darkening with summer could be epigenetic, rather than simply genetic. Reduced fresh foliage for consumption in the snowy winter, together with reduced movement, meaning less chlorophyll together with less exercise, could result in whitening of the hairs of hares in such climates. In summer, foliage and chlorophyll increases to normal, along with the movements of exercise, resulting in restoration of tawny or other colour in the hares. This hypothesis can be tested using a control group of hares who are fed a fresh, chlorophyll rich diet in the snowy winter, and given free and full exercise in safe enclosures. Chlorophyll from this perspective encompasses all phytoderivatives or phytoequivalents of chlorophyll, responsible for the full array of plant coloration and, when ingested, also serving as a nutritive basis for the body's melanin production. In addition to this proposed controlled experiment with naturally tawny or otherwise colorful hares, another may be done in any climate or season. Naturally white hares may be fed a chlorophyll rich, summer fresh diet, and given plenty of safe space exercise, as a control group, and consistently observed to discern if they and/or their offspring would develop coloration, It is feasible that epigenetics, rather than genetics alone, are responsible for seasonal changes of coloration in animal species, and for some permanent ones, such as in the case of polar bears, whereas penguins, gulls and seals, for example, appear to retain color...God bless!

    Survival of the fittest is also a misnomer. Many factors outside of fitness come to bear when it comes to survival.
    So often a creature will become prey simply because it is in the wrong place at the wrong time. It is perfectly fit and active in comparison to its peers, but it has found itself in the wrong place at the wrong time, directly in the "cross hairs" of a predictor. This being pure happenstance, not having to do with its fitness.
    Also, the young may die simply due to the vulnerability of being too young. It isn't yet experienced. It may not yet be as swift as a fully grown animal, all though its constitution is relatively intelligent and fit compared to other creatures of its group.
    The animals that were very fit and reproduced get older and less able to outrun or maneuver a predictor. It becomes a victim due to age, not genetic lack. Actually, often dying fairly quickly and mercifully. The predictor goes after the young and the aging prey. Yes, if a creature is weak or sickly it will likely get harvested out more quickly.
    Many things, including weather conditions, and prevailing diseases, not genetic lacks may cause a creature to not survive that are not related to its relative fitness.
    If something abnormally horrific, like a fast spreading deadly disease hadn't gone through the creature may be a very fit creature. The deadly disease reached it through pure happenstance, not because it wasn't originally very "fit". Those organisms outside of the range of the disease survived whether they were particularly fit or not compsred to the creatures that succumbed to the overpowering disease.
    There are many variables to whether a creature or plant survives that do not ultimately have to do with its initial fitness. Fitness is just one factor that plays into "deciding" whether an organism will survive or not.

However, I study the Bible very earnestly, and believe that it's teachings on ultimately experiencing eternal life are not only spiritually encouraging to the believer, but are also scientifically sound, in view of the vastness of the inanimate cosmos, in relation to the relative smallness of the animate cosmos of humans and other creatures, and the superabundant, infinitely resourceful capacity of the inanimate cosmos to endlessly sustain life, under divine direction.

    I can dismiss Darwin very lightly. Get the PDF format "On Origin of Species". He uses such terms as "I believe", and "It is not impossible to imagine that" regularly in the text. Scientists should restrain themselves from speculation when publishing scientific information. But then, "On Origin of Species" was never intended to be a scientific paper. It was a popular text for the uninformed. Science fiction.

    • @steveturners1258
      @steveturners1258 Před 10 měsíci +1

      Dear Ahmed, I presume you are asking because you are seeking truth; may the good God fill your thirst and hunger for righteousness.
      1. Jesus did not save Himself from painful and shameful death because He became a man for the very purpose of sacrificing Himself for our sins (He says so Himself in the Bible, John 12:27: "Now My soul is troubled, and what shall I say? ‘Father, save Me from this hour’? But for this purpose I came to this hour") Sacrificial love is the cornerstone issue of Christian faith; God Himself is Love, that's one of His names. It's important to note that God does not only love worthy people; He loves every last human. He loves you and me, he suffered and died for my sake and yours, so that we could live forever.
      2. Gospel of John, chapter 1, says "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made", and later in the same chapter, that this Word is Jesus Christ. Quran, sura 4, ayat 171, also call Jesus the Word of God. In Genesis, where creation of the world is described by God speaking things into existence: "God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light."
      It's important to point out that God the Father and the Son and also Holy Spirit is the same God, though three distinct Persons.
      So, yes, God created the Universe, flora, fauna, and all things, and finally the first two people by His Word, Who is Jesus Christ; Son of God always existed, but He has not always been a man. He was born as Word of God from the Father, in a way we can't completely comprehend, without any mother, before the time was created; and He was born again as a Man, from an unwed Maiden, without an earthly father, after the fullness of time has arrived.
      3. By saying "original version of Bible" do you imply the Bible was corrupted? The original of the books of the Bible no longer exists - as do not exist original records of Quran. The earliest complete copy of Bible in existence, Codex Sinaiticus, is dated around year 325, that's 1700 years ago; and the manuscripts with fragments of New Testament from the first century exist - while some of the apostles were still alive. There are no significant discrepancies with the text of Bible in common use. The same text that existed during the life of Muhammad, which he praised as true and worthy of following in sura 4 ayat 47 and sura 5 ayats 47 and 68, exists today.
      4. Jesus says: "I and Father are one" (John 10:30), that is, He is the same God as the Father -- which the unbelieving Jews understood as Him calling Himself God, and tried to stone Him. Also, "before Abraham was, I AM.” (John 8:58). What is written in English as "I AM" (note the capital letters,) in Hebrew is the name of God as He revealed it to Moses when speaking from the burning bush. Again, unbelieving Jews recognized that and tried to wrongfully stone Jesus for blasphemy upon saying this. Also, when apostle Thomas exclaims (John 20:28), "My Lord and my God!" in presence of resurrected Jesus, He does not rebuke him. In Mark 2:7, Jesus forgives sins, which Jews say only the God can do; so says Quran, sura 3, ayat 135.
      I hope this helps in your journey. May God support you at every step.

      " If Jesus(Peace Be Upon Him) is your creator, then how He couldn't safe his life?" Because He didn't want to ... When apostle Peter said to Jesus that He should save His life, Jesus reproached him:
      Matthew 16:21 From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life. 22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!” 23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
      So Lord Jesus was fulfilling His task on earth through dying for us, so that we can get forgiveness from our sins when we believe in Him.
      Lord Jesus created everything as God had decided, the whole universe! Lord Jesus never denied or reproached when somebody called Him God. Jesus always admitted He is God. "I and the Father are One." (John 10:30) Let us consider THE EXCLAMATION OF THOMAS, “My Lord and my God.” (John 20:28) This is a most plain and hearty confession of the true and proper Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ.
      Lord Jesus was physically a man but He had God's spirit so spiritually He was God, doing on earth 100% of what His father did in Heaven.

      Let's not err and misinterpret the Scriptures for there is one God the Father, the only true God as Jesus highlights. John 17:3. In the beginning God created. John 1:1 in which trinitarians in their idolatry claim erroneously that there are 3 gods. The word is an expressed thought. Plain and simple. God spoke everything into existance. However, this does not condone the Quran. With its pagan moon god allah whose symbol is the sickle moon and the sun. And the false prophet Muhammad who lived with lust filled eyes and by the sword. Jesus is the Son of God not God the Son. Let us open our eyes, our spiritual eyes and know that there is only one God, YHWH, the Father and one Lord Yahshua Messiah. HalleluYah.

      ​@@alexanderrigby6917 God is clearly triune if you actually read the gospels and the epistles. I can also show you passages that clearly show that God often speaks in the plural in the old testament and has conversations among Himself which unless you desire to worship a schizophrenic deity makes sense if God is multiple persons. Jesus says to the Father "glorify me with the glory i had with you before the world was made." Jesus aslo said that anyone who does not honor the Son as they honor the Father, honors not the Father who sent Him. Jesus is also not the Holy Spirirt nor is the Holy Spirit the Father as Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to us from the Father according to his words in the gospels and the events of the pentacost in Acts. Matthew 28:19 Jesus clearly says that we are to go forth unto all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, making disciples of them and teaching them to observe all that He has commanded. In Revelation Jesus says I Am the First and The Last the Alpha and Omega. He says that He is the one who was dead and rose again and is alive forevermore, who holds the keys of death and hell in his hands. In the book of Hebrews chapter 1, the Father calls the Jesus God. I could continue but i recommend that you take time to read for yourself and refrain from blaspheming further.

      In fact, Darwin in some aspects was on the creationist side. Darwin’s book on evolution admitted that “intermediate links” [in fossils] were “perhaps the most obvious and serious objection to the theory” of evolution. Darwin recognized that the fossils collected by scientists prior to 1859 did not correspond with his theory of evolution, but he predicted that this theory would be confirmed as more and more fossils were found.
      Now, one hundred and sixty years later we know that the gaps are multiplying, not disappearing. There's less and less evidence of transitional forms in the fossils.

    "The best of the best of the best...you end up with humans, in that case..." Not necessarily. Humans are not an end product. They're just another organism, and not a particulariy successful one at that. The most successful organism is bacteria.
    "For Darwin to take what plant breeders do and apply that to nature is absurd." Most definitely not absurd. The only difference between what breeders do, and what nature does is the purpose. Nature has no purpose. The winners are those organisms that have more offspring, whch is the same thing the breeders do, except nature doesn't care who the winners are. These guys probably shouldn't put too much faith in what Stephen L. Talbott says. Talbott believes (near as I can make out) that organisms have a purpose, and choose a direction based on that. While that might make some sense with humans, apes, and other mammals with higher order thinking, it's difficult to make it work for plants, or bacteria.
