Great read! All truth is indeed the truth of God, and we should not fear the search!

looks like we're all gods creators

I had a question I thought of today for an evolutionist. Why does maternal DNA stop and not go on to when we were monkeys?

All the carbon on earth was formed in exploding stars.

Now there is a really big miracle.

"That is science, when we understand what happens. And we know that no human being or scientist could have developed or engineered this sequence. If a company tried to build it, it wouldn’t work."

I agree, and I think anyone with a mind should see this. However, many just refuse to accept the concept of a creator/designer. For if one exists, then we may be accountable to him. So, in their view, we are all just products of chance or spontaneous generation.

The Evolutionists here could do it better than God, I am sure. They just need to think a little more highly of themselves.

Of one thing I am firmly convinced; there is not, nor can there ever be, a contradiction between science and God. The same God that wrote the Ten Commandments is the same God that wrote the laws of physics. All things are a manifestation of Him. Whenever we see what appears to be a contradiction between science and God, it is because of our limits in knowledge and understanding.

It was my love of human biology and physics that convinced me that God existed. Every time I look at the math I have a feeling of profound respect for our Creator.

A professor of mathematics came into my study one day. He was a real atheist. He said to me, “I’ve just calculated that it’s impossible to have the human eye evolving in the five billion years that they give us.”
This guy is just jerking off. The challenge is never doing the math, it's modeling the process. He has the wrong quals to do that.

And just what kind of qualifications does it take to bring a human eye into existence? Any worth noting?

Variation, natural selection, time. For the last, maybe a quarter billion years after life goes multi-cellular.

Variation, natural selection, time.

And how much of these given the absence of any intelligence?

When biologists and mathematicians disagree on biology, as happened here:

Addendum B: Are the Odds Against the Origin of Life Too Great to Accept?

The point was made that to account for some evolutionary changes in hemoglobin, one requires about 120 amino acid substitutions...as individual events, as though it is necessary to get one of them done and spread throughout the whole population before you could start processing the next one...[and] if you add up the time for all those sequential steps, it amounts to quite a long time. But the point the biologists want to make is that that isn't really what is going on at all. We don't need 120 changes one after the other. We know perfectly well of 12 changes which exist in the human population at the present time. There are probably many more which we haven't detected, because they have such slight physiological effects...[so] there [may be] 20 different amino acid sequences in human hemoglobins in the world population at present, all being processed simultaneously...Calculations about the length of time of evolutionary steps have to take into account the fact that we are dealing with gene pools, with a great deal of genetic variability, present simultaneously. To deal with them as sequential steps is going to give you estimates that are wildly out." (pp. 95-6)
... go with the biologists. You have to understand the process to be modeled or it's just "Garbage in, garbage out."
