It is with out a doubt that a majority of Americans believe “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” Genesis 1:1. Unfortunately, most who believe these words cannot answer the questions raised by the thousands of fossils that archeologist's have dug up and claim are millions of years old. We are told that such methods as Radiocarbon tests to find the levels of Carbon-14 remaining in fossils, U-Pb dating of volcanic materials to determine how long ago lava cooled, helioseismic dating to get a helium diffusion age in the field of astrophysics, and many more scientific fields and the methods they use can baffle the minds of even the most educated believers of God.

Depending on what poll you read, this vast amount of technology has convinced 30% to 40% of believers that God must have used evolution in His creative process.

However, what if I told you that many scientists, archaeologists, biochemists, physicists, micro biologists, and astronomers disagree with most of the findings and conclusions by today's evolutionist experts? Some of these men even go so far as to challenge the very idea that the universe is billions of years old. It is important to remember that the age of the universe is directly related to the science used to convince people of the age of planet earth.

Other then a few probes and the space station we cannot physically investigate anything but earth and maybe some small samples from the moon and what asteroids have hit the earth. All the evidence we have for the age of the universe is tied directly to their theory of the earth's age. So if the earth is proven to be young, then the evidence for an old universe crumbles. Then along with the age of the universe crumbling, so does the possibility of evolution. Now that is where these many learned men come in to the picture. These scientists have presented so much evidence that points to intelligent design, that they have put into question the very methods used by evolutionists.

Astronomer Guillermo Gonzalezand his collaborators have created the concept of the Galactic Habitable Zone (GHZ). The GHZ defines the region of the Milky Way Galaxy that is most habitable to complex life. His concept involves a number of situations that must exist for life to occur. When taken into account we see that we are not only unique but special in our planets ability to sustain life and to discover what is in the universe. Gonzalez's investigation has proven that Carl Sagan was wrong when he said there are millions of other earths full of life like ours.

What Physicist Dr. Russell Humphreys, has done is taken those who base their theories of age on helioseismic testing to task. After repeatedly ran experiments that measure how rapidly nuclear-decay-generated helium escapes from tiny radioactive crystals in granite-like rock. The data shows that most of the helium generated by nuclear decay would have escaped during the alleged 1.5 billion year uniformitarian2 age of the rock, and there would be very little helium in the crystals today. But the crystals still retain large amounts of helium, amounts these experiments show are entirely consistent with an age of only thousands of years.

Then we have biochemist Michael Behe, author of “Darwin's Black Box” who points out that molecular machines, such as the bacterial flagellum are irreducibly complex. Like a mouse trap that can not function without all the parts available to work at the same time, so to do the machines at the molecular level of cells. This irreducible complexity discounts minute changes that needs to be done for evolution to work.

Add to them such scientists as nuclear physicist Robert Gentry, geophysicist John R. Baumgardner, and many other highly educated scientists and professors from a vast array of fields that have evidence the earth is either not millions of years old or that evolution is a bad theory at best? All these men have another thing in common besides their work that proves a God created us and everything we see. They have all at one time or another been persecuted and attacked for there stance by secular academia and the media.

Now it is very understandable that they would get heated debates about there findings, but to be targeted and threatened with the loss of their very livelihood, reminds one of what the church did to Galileo for daring to say the earth revolves around the sun. Like the many scientists and experts who come out against the idea that global warming is caused by man, these men should be hailed as heroes. If, for no other reason then they dare to question the modern day evolutionists I call, “The Flat Earthers”.

God created all things - even evolution and science.

>>However, what if I told you that many scientists, archaeologists, biochemists, physicists, micro biologists, and astronomers disagree with most of the findings and conclusions by today’s evolutionist experts?

What if I told you this is total and complete BS? Even a couple of hundred (which there is not of these typesof scientists) is not “many” compared to the millions of scientists who understand TToE. Get us a list of, say 25,000 Life Scientists who agree with your thesis and we’ll talk.

Move on folks. When you get a falsehood this early in a post there is no point in wasting your time with the rest of it.

I think that 30-40% would say that God “may” have used evolution in His creative process. Honestly, we don’t know exactly how He did it ... and, it really doesn’t make any difference.

Excellent summary!

Here are some examples of what happens to scientists and teachers who dare question Darwood’s godless creation myth:

Just watched Gonzalez' video, "The Privileged Planet" for the 2nd time. Excellent, excellent video.

There is a book of the same title which I am also looking forward to reading.

There seems to be no Biblical evidence that Adam & Eve actually had a childhood.

One might surmise from that that the Creator decided to start a world where things were already fully grown in the beginning.

Satan put those fossils there, knowing that men would find them. Then, he made it so that the fossils could be accurately dated via radioactive decay. All of this was to deceive people and make them doubt the Bible, so that they would lose salvation!

It's all about good vs. evil.

Evolution - evil, deception, satan
God's Word - good, Truth, The Almighty

God says He created man in His image and likeness.
Evolution says otherwise - we evolved from animal. Good vs. evil.

God created animals/fowl first and then man. Evolution disagrees. Good vs. evil. Adam named all the beasts of the field. We have dominion over the animal kingdom. Evolution says otherwise. Good vs. evil. God looked on all His creations and said it was very good. Evolution disagrees. Good vs. evil.

Satan fell because of his pride and can only use deception to gain followers for he has no truth - he's the master deceiver, the "Father of Lies". Evil.

Man comes up with theories to advance their cause - they aren't interested in Truth because The Truth has been around for thousands of years. God has already spoken but they will interpret and/or change His Words to deceive. Satan deceived Adam/Eve so his game is VERY OLD but man will continue to be deceived because of pride/arrogance. Satan 'tried to' tempt/deceive Jesus in the garden and Jesus replied with "for It is Written'. So I could give a crap what Darwin says or that a well-known PhD believes in OR one that discounts evolution because It is Written and God's Word is true and every man a liar".

Satan's will not cohabit with Truth for eternity - there's a place for liars/deceivers and a heavenly place for those who follow Truth - God's Word. We each decide our own destiny and where we live for eternity. God does not send anyone to hell. our choices determine where we spend eternity.

According to latest polls, 40% believe in evolution and 25% do not believe in evolution.

I’m coming late to the party but I’m guessing the majority of Americans understand that the sun is older than the earth and that other parts of the universe are older still.

All the evidence we have for the age of the universe is tied directly to their theory of the earth's age.

Fact-free statement.

The age of the earth comes from radiometric dating. The age of the universe is limited by the ages of the oldest main sequence stars and our limited understanding of the universe's expansion.
