EVOLUTION-IMPOSSIBILITY
Someone once estimated that
the number of random genetic factors involved in the evolution of a tapeworm
from an amoeba would be comparable to placing a monkey in a room with a
typewriter and allowing him to strike the keys at random until he accidentally
produced a perfectly spelled and perfectly punctuated typescript of Hamlet's
soliloquy.
Notice that expression,
"according to its kind," which appears twice in (Genesis 1) verse 21,
twice in verse 24, three times in verse 25, and once each in verses 11 and
12. It is used every time procreation
is mentioned in the Genesis account. It
underscores the very truth evolution denies: that when living creatures
reproduce, they can produce only creatures similar to themselves. Apes do not give birth to humans.

Random noise could never
produce a Bach cantata. Random letters
floating in an ocean of alphabet soup will never spell out a chapter from Moby
Dick. When we hear the music, we know
there was a composer. When we read
coherent writing, we know there was an author.
How much more does this principle apply to the detailed information
contained in the DNA of every living creature?

Honest scientists must admit
that all of life had to be designed by an immensely intelligent mind. The more science looks at life, the more
complex it becomes. The human brain is
far more complex than NASA's space shuttle.
The brain alone is made up of at least six million functioning parts. No one would imagine that the space shuttle
evolved by chance from nothing. Why
should we have such a view of life itself?

What can be more foolish
than to think that all this rare fabric of heaven and earth could come by chance,
when all the skill of science is not able to make an oyster?

from non-reason that you must cry Halt.
Human minds. They do not come
from nowhere.
