Scientists Know Darwinian Evolution is Impossible. That's a fact.

Scientific techniques and capabilities have continued to improve, and the result is that the molecular evidence is showing life is too complex to have evolved. In addition, mutations are mostly degrading to the genome, and that means we are going downhill, not evolving upward. In this edition of the Science Pastor Steve continues to look at the statement from the Third Way, a scientific organization that is searching for an alternative to Darwinism. They write:

“The commonly accepted alternative is Neo-Darwinism, which is clearly naturalistic science but ignores much contemporary molecular evidence and invokes a set of unsupported assumptions about the accidental nature of hereditary variation. Neo-Darwinism ignores important rapid evolutionary processes such as symbiogenesis, horizontal DNA transfer, action of mobile DNA and epigenetic modifications. Moreover, some Neo-Darwinists have elevated Natural Selection into a unique creative force that solves all the difficult evolutionary problems without a real empirical basis.”

An interesting fact that has come out of genetics in the past ten years is that life adapts to its environment, ion a limited way. It's called engineered adaptability, meaning the ability to adapt has been designed into life. The adaption is not great enough to result in evolution, but life (including us) has the ability to sense the environment, adapt, and pass on those adaptations to the next generation. This is done through what is called epigenetics. These are no mutations. These are built-in capabilities that get turned on or off as needed.

THE GOSPEL
OF JESUS CHRIST

good news of the cross


The gospel is not social justice nor serving others. The gospel is love in action... Jesus Christ giving Himself so that you can be saved from the wrath of God.

Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, by which also you are saved, if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.

For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.
