Spotlight on Institute for Creation Reseach...Links to evidence that dinosaurs lived and died recently...
I owe a great debt to Dr. Henry Morris. As a new Christian with many years of schooling and studying and working in the field searching for fossils and artifacts, I read through the New Testament twice soon after becoming born again at age 26. I had left a life of drugs, alcohol and general rowdiness behind and was trying to learn more about the Great God I had hoped and suspected was there all along. He was certainly patient as I tried to find anything else BUT Jesus Christ, the Savior. Eventually He was able to get my attention and all the pieces fit together for me.
Of course I had a general idea of the Genesis creation narrative and I figured it was an allegorical story rather than an actual historical record. So I was not uneasy about the idea of long ages and evolution. With so much to learn about living a Christian life and learning what my purpose in life would be, with all the new friends and new activities and renewed good things happening in my family, it was not even on my mind, this matter of evolution. After all, I could recognize any of the commonly pictured dinosaurs on sight and had found all sorts of fossils in all sorts of areas of the continent. With an established geological column and fossils being found in orderly progressions from simple to complex, it was likely God used evolution and that was that. (It turned out progressing fossils and a standard geological column were completely made up nonsense)!
But I was fortunate enough to get to hear presentations by Henry Morris. He was funny and gregarious, but his testimony of his own discovery that evolution was fairy tale rather than fact revolved around his area of expertise, hydrology. Dr. Morris studied what water did and that included flood and tsunami activity. As he studied the rock layers of the world, he realized he was looking at the evidence of a giant flood! He began to believe that the Noahic Flood was the cause of the sedimentary rock layers and he began to make it his mission to find out for sure and, if so, share his discoveries with others. After all, mankind had believed in the Flood for the bulk of human history and had only abandoned it to support Darwin's hypothesis.
I read The Genesis Flood by Whitcomb and Morris and at that point my research side was rolling...I thought of all the time I had spent among the rocks, all the huge spans of living shellfish preserved in the closed position and all the trilobites preserved in their upright position. These were incredibly common fossils in the area of Southern Indiana I had first began exploring. We were also able to find fish fossils, ferns and even a copralite! All within the same area and with limestone and shale formations that were right atop each other.
While the original Genesis Flood has some preliminary assumptions that were later cast aside as good scientists began to gather into Creation Science organizations and study the fossils, the rocks, the age of the Earth, the organisms and the make up of the cell and DNA. The list goes on and on as Intelligent Design scientists have entered the fray, studying only that which can be observed in real time and making logical assertions based on their findings. Between Creation Science and ID and my own studies I am completely convinced that God absolutely made everything in about 6,000 years AND that every single pillar of Darwinism has been shown to be evidence-free assertions.
If Dr. Morris had not set up a touring ministry to give talks and make books and tapes and other materials to help Christians see the myriad problems of evolution, I wonder how long it would have taken me to see it for myself? Perhaps when I firmly grasped the role of Jesus and the importance of the literal Adam and Eve, I would have seen that no thinking Christian can long live with the dichotomy of Salvation by Grace along with evolution through millions of years of death and suffering.
- Evolution does not fit the evidence of the rocks.
- Evolution does not fit what we see in organisms today.
- Evolution cannot be seen to occur and has never been observed.
- If Evolution with long ages is true, Adam and Eve were mythical and Jesus was a liar.
- If Jesus was a liar, then He could not be Savior and we are without hope, dead in sins.
- But Jesus preached that the Flood, Adam and Eve and man/woman marriage were true. He was in fact the Son of God who formed Adam by hand and breaths life into him.
- Jesus was there, He is an eyewitness, He should know.
Therefore, if you want to accept evolution, you may as well give up on Christ. Evolution is the most convoluted and cleverly hatched lie Satan has managed to use to bamboozle folks since he came up to Eve and said, "Yeah, hath God said..?"
Fresh Tissues Show That Fossils Are Recent
Paleontologists, operating under the assumption that earth’s strata represent millions or billions of years, have not looked for fresh tissues within fossilized remains. But fresh biological material within some fossils has been there all along and is being continually discovered, despite the protests of biochemists that it should not exist.
Molecules such as proteins, pigments, and DNA—as well as intact cells and, in some cases, cells still grouped together in tissues—have been found in fossils that are supposedly millions of years old. Whole organisms are sealed in amber deposits, and over a thousand still-living kinds of microbes have been extracted from them.
Fresh tissues and living cells cannot possibly be millions of years old, and they constitute some of the strongest evidence for the young world that the Bible describes.
