In The Beginning
PREFACE: It is so very important that, in considering the origin of the material universe and our earth, that an otherwise educated and intelligent person not throw out an entire arena of thinking just because one branch of that thinking strikes you as ridiculous!!!
Scientists have calculated that the odds of the
natural forces of primordial physics and chemical phenomena combining at just the correct
time and conditions to form a single protein molecule successfully by the proposed process of "evolution" as much less then 1 chance
in 700,000! One of the most important scientists in the world believes in God and is HERE.
The same small odds would have had to play out in order to
create each new molecule of the same type as well as any variant molecules. A critical mass
of a significant variety of simple molecules would be necessary in order to create a single
complex molecule such as a protein (then those proteins would have to spontaneously combine to make RNA & DNA so that replication could happen). Imagine the staggering odds against spontaneous initial
evolution!...just at the chemical level
THEN, what are the odds that molecules could precisely combine for a first time to create a cell?
Charles Darwin was hugely influenced by the book by William Paley (1743-1805), Natural Theology or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity (first published in 1802), which made an argument for divine design in nature, explaining adaptation as God acting through laws of nature. Darwin, possibly wrongly, is thought of as one who proposed that everything happend or happens with no need of "God". Unlike "evolution", Darwinian evolving-over-time (evolutionary adaptation) forces of natural selection and
adaptation cannot come into play until there is: (1) at least a one-cell creature which (2)
can replicate. With the above fantastic odds, how can evolution get to an even more
fantastically complex level such as a one-cell stage? A highly interesting place for a tourist visit to see some perspective on this is the Creation Museum. But!...stay with me and check the "deeper' link, below!
