Have you ever studied
the microbiological aspects of the theory of evolution?
That is: The process and probability of
life from chemicals?
The microbiological world
includes: Eighty amino acids (twenty of which are
bioactive), sugars, ribose, Dna molecules,
Rna molecules, nucleotides, enzymes,
proteins, cytochromes, the genetic code,
cells, etc. This world is very complex and
grows more complex with the advance of science.
Harold Morowitz, an evolutionary
scientist, has estimated the chance
formation in a prebiotic soup of the most
simple living organism at one in 10 to the
340 millionth power (Energy Flow in Biology,
p.99). This probability is about like
flipping a coin one billion times and getting
all heads!
H.P. Yockey, an agnostic
scientist, states that the chance formation in a
prebiotic soup of a single cytochrome C
molecule (a class of iron-containing proteins
important in cell metabolism) is one in
10 to the 36th power acceptable planets with
just the right conditions (billions of planets
with prebiotic soups) for 10 to the 9th
power (one billion) years (A Calculation
of the Probability of Spontaneous Biogenesis
by Information Theory, pp. 393, 396).
Concerning the size of these odds: In the 15
billion years since the big bang, there
have been less than 10 to the 18th power
seconds!
Dr. Francis H. Crick,
an evolutionary scientist, one of the discoverers of the
structure of DNA, did not believe that life
from chemicals was possible on planet
earth. There are not enough elements
on planet earth to perform the enzyme
reactions necessary for life! ("Were We
Planted Here?," Time, Sept. 10, 1973, p. 53)
Note: Evolution does not address the origin
of the elements necessary for
building life.
Charles Darwin
was not a microbiologist. He once was a Theological student.
His theory of evolution proves he still
had much faith. Charles himself said, in The
Origin of the Species: "Long before the
reader has arrived at this part of my work, a
crowd of difficulties will have occurred
to him. Some of them are so serious that to
this day I can hardly reflect on them without
being in some degree staggered; but, to
the best of my Judgement, the greater number
are only apparent, and those that are
real are not, I think fatal to the
theory.” (The underlines are mine.) Later in My Life
and Letters vol. 1 p. 210, Darwin
said: "not one change of species into another is on
record . . . We cannot prove that a single
species has changed."
The microbiological
aspects of life actually suggest the existence of God! Life
from chemicals is impossible without God.
"For since the creation of the world His
invisible attributes, His eternal power
and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being
understood through what has been made, so
that they are without excuse (Rom.
1:20)." Believe in the God of the
Bible and the Savior He sent into the world: "For
God so loved the world, that He gave His
only begotten Son, that whoever believes in
Him should not perish, but have eternal
life (John 3:16)."
