Creation vs. Evolution by Jun Yi
Three monkeys sat in a coconut tree
Discussing the things that are said to be--
Said one to another: "Now listen you two
There's a certain rumor, but it can't be true'
That man descended from our noble race-
Why, the very idea; it's a disgrace.
No monkey ever deserted his wife,
Starved her babies and ruined her life.
Nor did ever a mother-monkey
Leave her babies with others to bunk,
Or pass them on from one to another
'Till they scarcely knew who was their mother.
And another thing you'll never see
A monkey building a nest around a coconut tree,
And let the coconuts go to waste,
Forbidding all other monkeys to have a taste.
Why, if I build a fence around a coconut tree,
Starvation would cause me to distribute to you.
Here's another thing that a monkey won't do:
Go out at night and get on a stew;
Or use a gun, a club, or a knife
To take another monkey's life.
Yes, Man descended, the ornery cuss!
But Brother, he didn't descend from us."
Theory of Evolution:
1. Natural Evolution
2. Deistic Evolution
Theory of Creation:
1. The Bible is the inspired and inerrant Word of God and the biblical account of creation is the only correct belief
2. God is the Creator of all that exists
3. Life did not simply come about by the evolution of organic molecules to simple life and then to complex life
4. Man is created by God and sinned at one point in history
Against Evolution:
1. Evolution is only a theory
2. Big Bang theories has flaws
The probability of producing a “the correct molecular orientation for bacterium” by chance, or from unintelligent origin, is as follows.
The chance of this happening “by accident” is 1 chance in 10301,029,996.
Incredible! The odds of winning a typical state lottery with a single ticket ar
e about 1 in 10 million, or one in 107. So the odds of assembling simply the correct molecular orientation for the first bacterium (using a very conservative number of base pairs and amino acids) would be like winning the more than 43 million state lotteries in a row with a purchase of a single ticket for each! Just to write that number down will fill 100 encyclopedia-sized books and would take almost 10 years, if you wrote at the pace of a digit a second.
3. Macro-evolution has no evidence to support it
4. Evolution cannot be proven
Against Creation:
1. The creation worldview is non-scientific
2. Sedimentary layers containing fossils do not support a creation worldview
The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. It is like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books…a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects.
Albert Einstein
3 I look at your heavens,
which you made with your fingers.
I see the moon and stars,
which you created.
4 But why are people even important to you?
Why do you take care of human beings?
which you made with your fingers.
I see the moon and stars,
which you created.
4 But why are people even important to you?
Why do you take care of human beings?
Psalm 8:3-4 (NCV)
Oh yes, you shaped me first inside, then out;
you formed me in my mother's womb.
I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
before I'd even lived one day.
you formed me in my mother's womb.
I thank you, High God—you're breathtaking!
Body and soul, I am marvelously made!
I worship in adoration—what a creation!
You know me inside and out,
you know every bone in my body;
You know exactly how I was made, bit by bit,
how I was sculpted from nothing into something.
Like an open book, you watched me grow from conception to birth;
all the stages of my life were spread out before you,
The days of my life all prepared
before I'd even lived one day.
Psalm 139:13-16 (The Message)
