Creation Conversion: From Atheist to Creationist
by Jerry Bergman, Ph.D. *
I have always loved science, partly due to the influence of my engineer father, who was heavily involved in research and development. While growing up, my free-time diet consisted of Mr. Wizard, Disney nature films, and doing science experiments.
At Wayne State University, where I earned my bachelor’s, master’s, and Ph.D. degrees, I was exposed to evolution. Influenced by my atheist father and my professors, I accepted this worldview, as did most of my peers. We also accepted the atheist philosophy that came with it. The university invited a number of speakers to lecture on religion, at least tangentially, all of whom were quite negative toward Christianity. One even stressed that we have given Christianity 2,000 years to fix up the world, and it was high time to try atheism.

Back in the early 90’s there was an article in Scientific American in which one researcher studying DNA said, and I quote to the best of my memory, “The more we know about DNA, the more it looks like someone designed it.”
It’s easy to believe in evolution if you think the biological world is a thousand times simpler than we now know it is. The more we know about life itself, the more it looks like someone designed it.
“The more we know about DNA, the more it looks like someone designed it.”
Yeah. If you’ve ever done some PLC or computer programming, then you touch on DNA, you can’t possibly deny there is a designer of DNA.
Yep
Evolutionists like to claim that evolution never held the position of the primordial soup leading to life. They claim it was never taught in schools.
When asked how would they know if they were not in high school in the late 1960s like I was? Silence is deafening.
Interesting
Bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D degrees in what? Geology? Biology? Anthropology?
yes. darwinism or macro-evolution (speciation by natural selection acting on agents of random genetic change) has been falsified. and that is the most damning fact about institutional academia today. their idea of “science” is to just keep moving the goal posts of darwinism away from the data—experimental, hoaxed or lacking—that keeps disproving the current version of it.
Yeah. If you’ve ever done some PLC or computer programming, then you touch on DNA, you can’t possibly deny there is a designer of DNA.
And in the last ten year’s we’ve discovered that not only is DNA like a program (e.g. COBOL) but it also has JCL.
Simply staggering. And some people honestly think that happened by accident. That’s almost as amazing, but not quite. I think they want to believe it because it is so “life and death” important that it is not designed.
Evolutionists claim to be materialists, rejecting the supernatural a priori. But given the stupendous complexity of the most “simple” of single-celled organisms, it would’ve required the miracle of all miracles for that first cell to spring from random processes. When belief that a single usable protein sprang from random processes is compared to a solar system full of blind men all simultaneously solving the Rubik’s Cube, and that “simple” cell requires dozens of them, plus a selectively permeable cell membrane, cytoplasm, organelles, and the most complex code on earth (DNA), spontaneous generation is beyond laughable.
But they just know it happened, no matter how supernatural their explanations may become.
I have never understood why the biologists and life scientists cannot grasp the rock solid easily provable mathematics field of probability. Even bending every thing in the favor of a random process constructing the DNA molecule, it still leads to the probability of it occurring to be ZERO. You can add a billion years on a billion planets and a billion ZEROES later it will still never self-assemble.
And yes, when I went to public school in the 70’s this event was taught as an article of faith that was unquestioned as the starting point of life as we know it. Now that math and science have boxed them in on their theory, suddenly they have selective memory and are revising history to save face.
Sorry, but this is nonsense. Close to gibberish, really.
“It is well documented that each new generation of humans adds about 100 to 150 mutations (genetic errors) per person, and an estimated 99.9 percent of these mutations are near neutral, harmful, or lethal. Consequently, there is no way that life could have first evolved 3.5 billion years ago and still be around today because life would have become extinct long ago from genetic meltdown and cell catastrophe.”
More importantly, the title.
How about Atheist Becomes Christian?
You know the very atoms that make up every ANIMAL, MINERAL & VEGETABLE in existence.
Quantum Mechanics make even an atom seem incredibly large and in the quantum world emptiness prevails.
Evolution by its very nature denies the very science upon which it is based.
But then the Scriptures teach that Faith in God is a gift given by him, so one cannot condemn those whom Father has blinded. However, the bible says that EVERYTHING about God can be learned through CREATION.
I’m not a biologist, but from a statistical perspective, his point is valid.
p.s. yo soy engineer....
but I’m not from Mexico, either.
For evolutionists their god is Time.
Given enough Time - EVERYTHING is possible...
