Questions for Evolutionists

I read this article on Dr. Kent Hovind's Web Site, www.drdino.com. Creation Science Evangelism was started in 1989 by Dr. Kent Hovind. Kent Hovind is one of the most requested speakers on the Creation and Evolution topic in churches and Universities all over the world. Dr. Hovind served as an educator for many years teaching Biology, Anatomy, Physical Science, Mathematics, Earth Science, and many other sciences. Dr. Hovind has debated the Creation and Evolution controversy over 90 times all over the world, in many large Universities, and on thousands of radio talk shows. If you would like to schedule Dr. Hovind to speak at your event, please visit the scheduling page on www.drdino.com .Here are some questions he would like to have answered by Evolutionists.

1.Where did the space for the universe come from?
2. Where did matter come from?
3. Where did the laws of the universe come from (gravity, inertia, etc.)?
4. How did matter get so perfectly organized?
5. Where did the energy come from to do all the organizing?
6. When, where, why, and how did life come from non-living matter?
7. When, where, why, and how did life learn to reproduce itself?
8. With what did the first cell capable of sexual reproduction reproduce?
9. Why would any plant or animal want to reproduce more of its kind since this would only make more mouths to feed and decrease the chances of survival? (Does the individual have a drive to surviv e, or the species? How do you explain this?)
10. How can mutations (recombining of the genetic code) create any new, improved varieties? (Recombining English letters will never produce Chinese books.)
11. Is it possible that similarities in design between different animals prove a common Creator instead of a common ancestor?
12. Natural selection only works with the genetic information available and tends only to keep a species stable. How would you explain the increasing complexity in the genetic code that must have occ urred if evolution were true?
13. When, where, why, and how did:
-Single-celled plants become multi-celled? (Where are the two and three-celled intermediates?)
-Single-celled animals evolve?
-Fish change to amphibians?
-Amphibians change to reptiles?
-Reptiles change to birds? (The lungs, bones, eyes, reproductive organs, heart, method of locomotion, body covering, etc., are all very different!)
14. How did the intermediate forms live?
15. When, where, why, how, and from what did:
-Whales evolve?
-Sea horses evolve?
-Bats evolve?
-Eyes evolve?
-Ears evolve?
-Hair, skin, feathers, scales, nails, claws, etc., evolve?
16. Which evolved first (how, and how long; did it work without the others)?
The digestive system, the food to be digested, the appetite, the ability to find and eat the food, the digestive juices, or the body’s resistance to its own digestive juice (stomach, intestines, etc.)?
- The drive to reproduce or the ability to reproduce?
-The lungs, the mucus lining to protect them, the throat, or the perfect mixture of gases to be breathed into the lungs?
-DNA or RNA to carry the DNA message to cell parts?
-The termite or the flagella in its intestines that actually digest the cellulose?
-The plants or the insects that live on and pollinate the plants?
-The bones, ligaments, tendons, blood supply, or muscles to move the bones?
-The nervous system, repair system, or hormone system?
-The immune system or the need for it?
17. There are many thousands of examples of symbiosis that defy an evolutionary explanation. Why must we teach students that evolution is the only explanation for these relationships?
18. How would evolution explain mimicry? Did the plants and animals develop mimicry by chance, by their intelligent choice, or by design?
19. When, where, why, and how did man evolve feelings? Love, mercy, guilt, etc. would never evolve in the theory of evolution.
*20. How did photosynthesis evolve?
*21. How did thought evolve?
*22. How did flowering plants evolve, and from that?
*23. What kind of evolutionist are you? Why are you not one of the other eight or ten kinds?
24. What would you have said fifty years ago if I told you I had a living coelacanth in my aquarium?
*25. Is there one clear prediction of macroevolution that has proved true?
*26. What is so scientific about the idea of hydrogen as becoming human?
*27. Do you honestly believe that everything came from nothing?

After you have answered the preceding questions, please look carefully at your answers and thoughtfully consider the following questions.
1. Are you sure your answers are reasonable, right, and scientifically provable, or do you just believe that it may have happened the way you have answered? (Do these answers reflect your religion or your science?)
2. Do your answers show more or less faith than the person who says, "God must have designed it"?
3. Is it possible that an unseen Creator designed this universe? If God is excluded at the beginning of the discussion by your definition of science, how could it be shown that He did create the universe if He did?
4. Is it wise and fair to present the theory of evolution to students as fact?
5. What is the end result of a belief in evolution (lifestyle, society, attitude about others, eternal destiny, etc.)?
6. Do people accept evolution because of the following factors?
- It is all they have been taught.
-They like the freedom from God (no moral absolutes, etc.).
-They are bound to support the theory for fear of losing their job or status or grade point average.
-They are too proud to admit they are wrong.
-Evolution is the only philosophy that can be used to justify their political agenda.
7. Should we continue to use outdated, disproved, questionable, or inconclusive evidences to support the theory of evolution because we don’t have a suitable substitute (Piltdown man, recapitulation, archaeopteryx, Lucy, Java man, Neanderthal man, horse evolution, vestigial organs, etc.)?
8. Should parents be allowed to require that evolution not be taught as fact in their school system unless equal time is given to other theories of origins (like divine creation)?
9. What are you risking if you are wrong? As one of my debate opponents said, "Either there is a God or there is not. Both possibilities are frightening."
10. Why are many evolutionists afraid of the idea of creationism being presented in public schools? If we are not supposed to teach religion in schools, then why not get evolution out of the textbooks? It is just a religious worldview.
11. Aren’t you tired of faith in a system that cannot be true? Wouldn’t it be great to know the God who made you, and to accept His love and forgiveness?
12. Would you be interested, if I showed you from the Bible, how to have your sins forgiven and how to know for sure that you are going to Heaven? If so, call me.

The Law

The Law

The Law of God must lead in a conversion (someone giving their life to Christ).
Paul said, “I have not known I sinned, but by the law.”—Rom 7.
Once God saves you, you are dead to the Law Rom 7:4. It is now written on your heart, and you are like a living law, preaching/teaching to everyone, and rebuking with all authority (Which is Love).
*The Law can only chase a man to Calvary, no further.

Someone who lives a life as a Christian will bear fruit:
Mat 3:8->Fruit of Repentance.
Col 1:10->Fruit of Good Works.
Heb 13:15-> Fruit of thanksgiving.
Gal 5:22-> The Fruits of the spirit.
Php 1:11->Fruits of Righteousness.
Mat 3:13-> Warns of fruit.

Mark 4:3-> True and False Conversion.
Six Characteristics:
Mark 4:5-> Immediate results (what man goes to war without seeing what he’s up against).
Luke 8:6-> Lack of moisture (the roots dry up after time).
Mat 13:6-> No root at all.
Mark 4:16-> Receive the word with gladness (No convictions or sorrow).
Mat 13:20->Receives the word with joy.
Luke 8:13->For awhile they do believe

A true Christian will go through trials, tribulation, and persecution, to show that he is growing. As a Christian, one should look forward to these three things, because it shows that God is allowing him to Grow. *Without these three painful events the plant would wither away and die.
If need be God will even try a man by Fire: 1 Pet 1:6, Ps: 66:10-12..to purify him.
AFFLICTION WORKS FOR US, NOT AGAINST US!

*Note: A true convert (Christian) will Love the bible/word/studying/fellowship.

A true Christian will not backslide…
-Luke 9:62. No man putting his hand to the plow will even look back.
-Ps 26:1. No backsliding.
Ps 37:30-> Our tongues should be speaking of wisdom, and what is just.

*The Law of God drives us to the new life in Christ. A person who only hears a “sugarcoated Gospel” will never understand the true stages of his eternity and never crucify his flesh on the cross. Instead when the tide gets rough he cools his flesh, like a pig that wallows in the mire (2 Pet 2:22).

What about sin?
A Christian sins are not habitual (1 John 1:6). Falls into sin-> not deliberate.
A false convert will make provisions for his flesh-> Dives into sin.
“Oh today’s Monday, I’m going to go to the bars tonight, and have a few drinks, then I’ll just ask God for forgiveness and things will be all good.”

*A False convert is a hearer and not a doer. Someone who doesn’t bare fruit is not a Christian.

-Luke 8:15-> Believers grow with patience.
-Luke 10:3à]-> Sends his lambs among wolves (Why do people tell new Christians to stay away from their old friends. Jesus did the exact opposite).

False Prophets and seals of approval:

Mat 7:15-> False prophet in sheep clothing…(This is why we should test the spirit of everyone, especially those giving sermons, or messages at Churches).
Acts 20:29-> Grievous wolves of your own selves… (There will be many sitting in a pew who think they are saved, but lack fruit, and there inward intentions are as grievous wolves).

If you trust a fellow Christian you can put your seal of approval upon him__Col 4:7. That way there is a bond of trust between two Christians, and fellowship will be at its best. *The main reason why the church today, doesn’t look like the church of Acts is because we’ve let to many wolves into fellowship. They like the sweet “feeling” modern churches are establishing, with their sugarcoated gospel. A wolf can’t enjoy the straight-up loving word of God, cause it bores him. We as Christians have simply put seals of approval on everyone within the walls of the assembly! Thus causing less work. A church cannot mix discipleship and evangelism/witnessing. It should be only discipleship, or only witnessing. If it is only witnessing the true Christians will not be fed, but will make a sure impact, on people coming in. If it is only discipleship, the true Christians will be fed and grow tall, while the false converts will most likely leave, and go somewhere else, but at least they have a seed planted within them. SO WHY NOT HAVE A CHURCH OF STRICT DISCIPLESHIP?

The great determining factor of whether or not, we with Gods help produce genuine or False convert, comes to whether or not we imitate Jesus, Follow in his ways, and use the Law (Ten Commandments) lawfully to bring the knowledge of sin.

-> The Law must prepare the way of the Gospel! To overlook this instructing, is almost certain to create a False Hope->which creates a False standard of a Christian experience, and fills the church with false converts.

Some interesting observations!!

Many Textbooks of today Imply that our world is billions of years old. I did some reasearch on this topic concering space. I wondered how old this earth really is. It came to my attention this world cannot be billions of years old.
Then why are textbooks treating this theory as fact? Why are so many people believing it too?
Here are the results of this study.

Some Evidence in Space

The Rotation of the Earth
The rotation of the earth is gradually slowing due to the gravitational drag forces of the sun, moon and other factors. Did you know we have a leap second every year and a half now because the earth is slowing down?
“Earth’s Rotation is slowing down. To compensate for this lagging motion, June will be one second longer than normal. This ‘Leap Second’ announced by the International Earth Rotation Service in February, will keep calendar time in close alignment with international time.” —Astronomy Magazine, June 1992, p 24


Past leap seconds:Jan. 1973Jan. 1974Jan. 1975Jan. 1976Jan. 1977Jan. 1978Jan. 1979Jan. 1980July 1981July 1982July 1983July 1985Jan. 1988Jan. 1990Jan. 1991July 1992July 1993July 1994Jan. 1996International

Earth Rotation Service
If the earth is six thousand years old like the Bible says, this is not a problem. Adam wouldn't notice. He didn't have a watch anyway. =) But, If the earth is billions of years old, there is a problem. The days and nights would be pretty quick. Get up, go to bed, get up, go to bed. Centrifugal force would be enormous. The winds would be 5000 mph from the Coriolis effect. And if dinosaurs lived 200 million years ago, I know what happened to them. They got blown off.

The centrifugal force would have been so great that the continents would have been sent to the equatorial regions and the overall shape of the earth would have been more like a flat pancake! If the earth were billions of years old, why have we not stopped spinning already so that the rate of rotation is zero? No, dinosaurs did not live 200 million years ago. It is just not true. The earth is not billions of years old.

Evidence for the Bible
Population
The current population of earth (5.5 billion souls) could easily be generated from eight people (survivors of the Flood) in less than 4000 years. (1, p. 167; 2, p. 27; 3, p. 41; 4)

Regardless of the future, the current population shows only 4400 years of growth. The world topped 6 billion in 1999.



The world is not totally crowded!

If you believe in evolution, and that man has been here for 3 million years, you have a problem. In 3 million years, the population would have grown so that there would be 150,000 people per square inch!

That would be crowded!


Oldest Things Alive Today are around 4200 years old
The oldest living coral reef is less than 4200 years old. (3, p. 39; 4)


The oldest living tree in the world is about 4300 years old. (3, p. 40; 4)



Another factor to consider: The genetic load in man is increasing. Geneticists have cataloged nearly 1300 genetic disorders in the human race. It is certainly reasonable to believe that the human race was created perfect from the hand of the Creator but has been going downhill as a result of our disobedience to the laws established by the Creator and the increased radiation from the sun. The Bible teaches that we live in a sin-cursed world as a result of Adam’s sin.

Decreasing Magnetic Field
The Earth's magnetic field is getting weaker and weaker. It cannot be billions of years old. Carbon dating can not work for more than a few thousand years.


Earth’s magnetic strength has declined 6% in the last 150 years. Astronomy and the Bible Donald DeYoung, p. 18
Decreasing Speed of Spin of Earth
The slowing spin of the earth limits its age to less than the "billions of years" called for by the theory of evolution.

The earth is spinning over 1000 mph at the equator.
“Earth’s Rotation is slowing down. To compensate for this lagging motion, June will be one second longer than normal. This ‘Leap Second’ announced by the International Earth Rotation Service in February, will keep calendar time in close alignment with international time.”—Astronomy Magazine, June 1992, p 24

DISCERNMENT

DISCERNMENT
Cling to what is good.
Hold fast what is good 1st Thessalonians 5:21. This is an echo of Romans 12:9 Abhor what is evil; In other words, hold fast to what is good. Shun what is bad.
Paul was telling us to cult cultivate our love for truth that we should let it rule our thinking. That is why we need to study God’s word so much that it does become the way we think. Because if we are so deprived before we are Christians just think how much of a fight it is already for our "old" way of thinking to be diminished. Paul says he has to die to his old self every day and put his new self on. Sin is a continual thing in Christian’s lives let God’s word become our way of thinking; because sometimes we justify sin and it becomes our own opinions on moral issues higher than God’s truths. That shouldn’t be too hard to figure out though.
So why aren’t more Christians defending God’s word when false teachings arise? It is because they either aren’t really caring to study(they don’t know truly what the real teachings are), or they aren’t truly saved and would rather hear other sinner’s opinions on what to do in different sinful situations; in hopes they will give them the answer that would better suit their sinful desire.
It is also common to lay doctrine aside between believers for the "sake of Unity". By hearing this… this teaching to me is something I don’t want to be in union with. Sometimes God’s word is downplayed to be better palatable for unbelievers. It is said that experience takes precedence over objective truth. God has given us His truth objectively in His word. It is a treasure that we should protect at all costs. Paul drives out the kind of "faith" that is driven by feelings, emotion, and human imagination. Instead we are to identify "what is good" by examining everything carefully, objectively, rationally---using scripture as our standard.
No human teacher, no personal experience, no strong feeling is exempt from this objective text. (For any strong Catholics that believe the Pope can change scripture if he gets divine revelation; match that up with scripture this is false. Rev 22:18-20) God said that he is the same today, tomorrow, and yesterday. This means his Truth will never change; otherwise it wouldn't be truth. Everything in the Bible will always stand. It will never be disproved. Otherwise truth would not be truth. If the words of prophets in apostolic times needed to be examined and evaluated, then surely we ought to subject the words of self-proclaimed "prophets" and preachers today to even more intense scrutiny in the bright light of the completed New Testament. Experience and feelings---no matter how powerful--- do not determine what is true. Rather, those things themselves must be subjected to the test. This by far is what I see most of in today’s society> When I speak to someone about a particular event that they claim to be from God that doesn’t match up with any kind of truth from scripture (on how the matter should really lay out or what God would have told to them) and I should doubt and rise questions; their answers will always start with… "No Brittany I know God is telling me to do this he is just really laying it on my heart I feel like this is what God wants me to do." Or they will explain some kind of emotion that led them to believe what they thought was what God thought for them to do. They also try to use their feelings as evidence in explaining some kind of justification for sin. I have had a friend before that has told me "if God hasn’t laid conviction on your heart to get rid of some sin, in your life, then you shouldn’t get rid of it." And we are talking about such things that scripture directly talks about as being sin. What a great lie Satan and his demons have whispered in the ears of God’s children away from his word. If you were to match it up with scripture, God tells us to get rid of sin, and to live as holy people different from the world. "Abstain from every form of Evil" (1st Thessalonians 5:22). Abstain translated is a very strong verb, apecho, meaning "hold oneself back," keep away from, "shun." Same word used in 1st Thessalonians 4:3 "abstain from sexual immorality," and 1st Peter 2:11 "abstain from the passions of the flesh."

Scripture does not give believer any kind of permission to expose themselves to evil. I don’t care what kind of "feeling" they got to justify sin. As a Christian I am held accountability to defend God’s Word in telling that friend that they are wrong. I don’t always get the best "feeling" afterwards ( knowing that they aren’t that happy with me because they usually think I am being too strict) but it is worth defending God’s perfect scriptures, and from them leading anyone else astray from God. 1st Thessalonians 5:22 says "abstain from all appearance of evil." Appearance translated, eidos literally means "that which is seen." Also to those who believe that everything they see on a Christian television station is truth, they are a prime target for doctrinal deception. If you think everyone who appears to love truth really does, then you don’t understand the wiles of Satan. "Satan disguises himself as an angel of light", Paul wrote. So it is no surprise if his servant, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness: (2nd Corinthians 11:14-15). He most the times puts subtle errors in the church so then he can "secretly bring in destructive heresies" (2nd Peter 2:1) (Acts 20:30) This is a DEFINATE reason why we should test everything carefully and shun whatever is unsound, corrupt, or has error. It is deadly. If you are a Christian that believes every Christian television show is trustworthy, or every Christian radio station, you are a prime target for being deceived. Don’t accept everything that comes with Jesus tagged on the end of it. Please be more cautious. This is the perfect reason why so many Christians are being deceived today. Not because of all of so called Satan’s workers but because of corrupt interpretations in the church itself. Read the Bible and comprehend what it means with the help of God. The Holy Spirit was given to us so that we may speak to God and to help us to understand God. Without the Holy Spirit we couldn’t even understand a little of God’s word. So please develop this gift of discernment. Practice at it. I myself have to practice discerning what is scriptural and what isn’t. May God bless you.

this is the book that most inspired me to write this article
Fools Gold, by author John MacArthur

W.D.J.D.
-

Would you consider yourself to be a Good Person?
-If so, Do you think you’ve kept the Ten Commandments?
Thou shall not lie, steal, think lustfully (adultery), etc.
-Judgment: Are you innocent or guilty of these crimes?
-Destiny: Heaven or Hell

Hell obviously if you were judged by these laws.
Jesus says in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the father, but by me."
-You see, we are in debt to God because of our sins, God say’s in Romans 3:10-11, "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one. There is none that understands, there is none that seeks after God." We all deserve to go to hell because of our evil deeds. You must be thinking if that is the case, then no one is going to heaven because nobody is perfect. But that wouldn’t be true either.
-In Romans 5:8 it says, "But God commends his Love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
-So God sent his perfect, and Holy Son Jesus Christ, to die for our sins, on the Cross. He paid the debt we owed (Our sins) by shedding his blood for our evil desires.
So if you have broken God’s Laws (ten Commandments) then you need to get saved. The bible says in 1 John 5:12-13, "He that has the Son (Jesus) has life; and he that has not the Son of God has Not Life. These things have I written to you that believe on the name of the Son of God (Believe in Jesus); that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may believe on the name of the Son of God.
-It’s kind of like jail. You have been fined $25,000 for speeding through a blind child area, 60 mph over the speed limit. But you don’t have the money to pay the fine, and the Judge just isn’t going to let you go. You say to the judge, "I promise I will never do it again," but he says, "Sorry that isn’t justice." So you’re on your way to jail, and then someone comes and pays the price for you. It’s your Father; he mortgaged the house to bail you out of jail. Repentance alone wasn’t the way to get out. You needed somebody to pay the price for you. On judgment day, You can’t go to God and say I’m sorry God, I’ll never break your Laws again. It wouldn’t work, because God is a just God. He won’t let any ounce of evil enter the kingdom of heaven. The only way into heaven is to ask Jesus into your heart (Your Life) Put Jesus On. Surrender your all to Jesus, and ask him for Forgiveness. That is the only way you will ever be truly cleansed. Then You Need to Repent of Your sins (Never practice them again) Do a 180.

-Our lives on this Earth are but a dot, on an everlasting line. .-------->
-Where are you going to spend eternity.
