Quotes from "In Six Days: Why Fifty Scientists Choose to Believe in Creation"

Once again, another book for those fools to try and dispute

Looks like it's time for a new book to make it into the ministry's library and our staff is yet to secure it.  Now this ministry would continue to battle the sinister doctrine of evolution and why it's not science, let the excommunicated scientists speak it out and let it be know there is NO conflict between true Christianity and science.  Hee hee... the unholy father should be after to get rid of this book too!

The book's editor John F. Ashton has this to write in the introduction:

"Can any scientist with a Ph.D. believe in the idea of a literal six-day creation? In Six Days answers this provocative question with 50 informative essays by scientists who say “Yes!” Taking a factual and scientific look at the evidence for evolution, physicists, biologists, and chemists conclude that evolution may offer no more evidence than traditional religion, and factually, it may lag behind.

Important questions about the big bang theory, radioactive dating of rocks, light from distant stars, and the fossil evidence for evolution are discussed in detail. Reopening the origins debate with straightforward and wide-ranging analysis of the issues confronting both the scientific community and the general public, these essays examine the entire approach to science education and are essential reading for educators, politicians, parents, and students."

Dr. Larry Vardiman , who is professor, Department of Astro-Geophysics, Institute for Creation Research, in the United States.  He holds a B.S. in physics from the University of Missouri, a B.S. in meteorology from St. Louis University and an M.S. and Ph.D. in atmospheric science from Colorado State University. He is a member of the American Meteorological Society and has authored numerous research papers in the area of cloud physics and meteorology.  He quotes:

I reject the theory of evolution because it is based on several faulty premises which are clearly contradicted by observation. Evolution implies chaos and meaninglessness. Creation implies order and value.

The natural world contains incredible evidence for design. Every system is regulated by laws which can be described verbally or through mathematical relationships. The DNA molecule is an example of built-in sources of information which regulate life processes and the inheritance of genetic traits. The Law of Gravitation is an example of how the Creator orders natural processes. Natural laws and built-in information imply a designer who created the systems and processes. Evolution cannot explain the presence of such design.

Evolutionary theory states that the earth and all life began as a gas several billion years ago and through random processes became more complex with time. Man is the final result of billions and billions ofchance mutations of genetic material as the earth aged. Yet, the Second Law of Thermodynamics describes a natural process which causes ordered systems to degenerate into disorder. The Second Law is undisputed by all reputable scientists and contradicts the basic premise of evolution.

The fossil record is considered to be the primary evidence for evolution, yet it does not demonstrate a complete chain of life from simple life-forms to complex. Many gaps are present which should not occur if evolution proceeded smoothly from one species to another. In fact, these discontinuities are recognized by a major part of the evolutionary community when they adopt the “hopeful monster mechanism.”

The most telling argument for me in rejecting evolution, however, is the meaninglessness and lack of value it signifies. If evolution occurred, then my existence is not a special event in the Creator’s plan. Yet, the Bible says I am special; I was created for a purpose."

Jeremy L. Walter , head of the Engineering Analysis and Design Department within the Energy Science and Power Systems Division at the Applied Research Laboratory (ARL) at Pennsylvania State University , and who holds a B.S. in mechanical engineering with highest distinction, an M.S. in mechanical engineering, and a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, all from Pennsylvania State University. He was a 1975 recipient of a prestigious National Science Foundation Fellowship, funding graduate study at the institution of his choice. At ARL, Dr. Walter has been the leader for a number of undersea propulsion development projects for the U.S. Navy. His research involves multidisciplinary development and testing of advanced air-independent engines and thermal power systems for various autonomous undersea vehicles.  He writes in the book:

"Many intelligent people are thoroughly convinced that science has proven the earth to be billions of years old. How can they be wrong? The misconception builds on a neglect of the basic nature of “science” and a natural desire for moral autonomy. Actually, the age of the earth can be neither proved nor disproved by science. Scientific evidence can be compiled to support one model of earth history as compared to another, but such work amounts to a feasibility study, not proof."

"Science is the human enterprise of seeking to describe accurately and quantitatively the nature and processes of our universe through observation, hypothesis, and experimental validation. Certain axiomatic principles must be accepted by faith for this method to be valid, the first of which is the expectation of order in the universe. A specific corollary of the order principle is the law of causality, or “cause and effect” relationships. This law states that one cause can have many effects, but no effect can be quantitatively greater or qualitatively superior to its cause.1 Observed effects are assumed to have causes because of this law, and are not treated as purely random or chance occurrences. The inquisitive mind will speculate on the cause of anobserved effect and then seek to recreate and test the cause experimentally. That is the essence of the so-called scientific method."

As said, there will still be MORE people who choose to believe in the lie of atheistic evolution and harden their hearts like the Pharaoh of the Exodus did.  However God will be their judge.  It's best not to react to their scorns nor bother reading their blogs, much less singling them out.  They will continue to even make fun of Christians and lump them together with the parodies of Christianity. It's best for Christians to simply go with the "ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS" song.
