Dr David DeWitt (Creationist)Biochemist and
Neuroscientist

• Theistic evolution is a significant threat to
  the Christian church.  It undermines the very
  foundation of the Christian faith and causes
  people to doubt the truth of Scripture. . . .
  In theistic evolution, death is not the enemy
  but the very means by which God created
  everything.  But the Bible is very clear about
  this  the wages of sin is death.  Death came
  into the world through Adam's sin.  Therefore
  there was no death prior to the fall of man and
  therefore there could be no evolution whatsoever
  before that time.

Micro vs. Macro -Evolution

• Univ. Calif. Berkeley
• http//evolution.berkeley.edu/evolibrary/article//
  evoscales_02
• Microevolution is simply a change in gene
  frequency within a population.
• http//evolution.berkeley.edu/evosite/evo101/VIADe
  finition.shtml
• Macroevolution encompasses the grandest trends
  and transformations in evolution, such as the
  origin of mammals and the radiation of flowering
  plants.

26
A Few Important Definitions

• The word evolution simply means change
• Micro-evolution is a TRUE process
• Horizontal change ONLY in size, color, etc
• NOT a change in Kind and NO new DNA
• Macro-evolution is a FALSE belief
• Vertical change into new Kinds of creatures
• Microbes to monkeys to man with new DNA

46
The Five Origin Questions

• Which is a more logical, scientific, moral answer
  to these 5 questions Creation or Macroevolution?
• Which model or theory requires rational faith to
  believe and which one is blind faith?
• The first 3 questions cannot be adequately
  answered by an atheistic evolutionist.
• The 4th cannot be answered by a theistic
  evolutionists.
• The 5th can only be answered by biblical
  Christianity.
• What evidence supports each one?

47
Origin Question - 1

• 1. Stuff? Where did matter and energy come from?
  
• Fact 0 0 0
• Fact Thermodynamic Law says stuff cannot arise
  from nothing by itself.Yet atheistic
  macroevolutionists claim that Nobody Nothing
  Everything in a Big Bang
• In contrast, the Bible's message says that a
  transcendent Creator created matter and
  energy.In fact, it says only God can (Hebrew
  term, "bara") create "stuff out of nothing.

48
Origin Question - 2

• 2. Life? When, how, from where did cells and
  DNA come from?
• Fact Cells are the smallest thing alive.
• Fact The Scientific Law of Biogenesis says life
  comes only from life.
• Fact A cell is necessary to make DNA, yet DNA is
  necessary to make a cell.
• Fact DNA is complex information coding and
  information always comes from intelligence.
• Yet atheistic macroevolutionists believe life
  (cells DNA) arose from nonliving "stuff".
• In contrast, the Bible says the living God
  created the first cells with functioning DNA.

49
Origin Question - 3

• 3. Kinds? What mechanism produced the new DNA
  information for all new, different creatures?
• Fact Lots of new DNA coding would have to be
  produced for bacteria to change into men.
• Fact Trillions x trillions x trillions, etc of
  new information would be necessary.
• Fact Natural selection merely sorts the
  variations of existing DNA information.
• (Selection of genetic variation in each "kind"
  can only change size, color, minor shape, etc.)
• Fact Mutations are errors in DNA that produce a
  loss of information.
• Yet atheistic macroevolutionists believe
  mutations produced the new DNA for new animals.
• The Bible says an Intelligent Designer created
  the "kinds", each limited in genetic variation.
• Many former atheist have become convinced a
  Creator must have made stuff, life, kinds.

50
Origin Question - 4

• 4. God? What kind of person is the Creator?
• A "god" who would desire originally design
  "survival of the cruelest" would be a monster.
• If Earth's fossil layers represent trillions of
  diseased dead things buried over millions of
  years, and not the result of a catastrophic
  global flood, then God is the designer of
  suffering death.
• Scores of physical measurements and new evidences
  show the earth universe to be only thousands of
  years old, not billions. (Such as C14 in
  diamonds, helium diffusion in zircon, etc . . .)
• A God who would desire originally design "Eden"
  would be a Good Shepherd.
• Yet theistic evolutionists say that god designed
  suffering death so animals could evolve.
• The Bible says God created a peaceful Eden
  without suffering death of any feeling
  creature.
• The Bible says that God will recreate a New Earth
  without suffering death.
• This issue is not minor, it impacts the very
  character of God, Himself!

51
Origin Question - 5

• 5. Cross? Why did Jesus have to die?
• The Bible says death is not the original desire
  or design of our Creator, whose character is
  good.
• The Bible says that death is the "wages of sin",
  the result that started only after man sinned.
• The Bible says that death is separation from God
  who is the only source of Life.
• The Bible says that God became a sinless man to
  pay the death penalty on the cross.
• If macroevolution (competition death) is the
  Way of God, then Jesus died for nothing.
• This issue is not minor, it impacts directly the
  Gospel (Good News) of Jesus Christ!

52
Mankind in His Image

• Gen 126-28 Let Us create man in Our image . . .
  male and female He created them
• Image in part indicates the kind of FAMILY
  relationships that reflect Gods character (at
  home, church, etc.)
• Both AGAPE and AUTHORITY are crucial.

53
We are created called to be Protectors

Biblical vs. Non-biblical Views

• Biblical Creationism six 24-hour days, about
  6,000 years ago, no death before sin, a global
  flood with earthquakes that formed most fossils,
  rock layers, etc. Science and Scripture are in
  harmony. (ICR, CRS, AIG)
• Pseudo-Creationism the six days long
  periods no global flood, death before sin
  (Pseudo false) - Example (Progressive
  Creation, by Hugh Ross, which is really a
  form of theistic evolution) - Example (Gap
  Theory, claiming a time gap between Genesis
  11 and 12, but no solid evidence for it)
• Theistic Evolution - God designed evolutions
  process of death and survival to create man from
  microbes, using mutations and natural selection
  over millions of years.
• Atheistic Evolution - No God is necessary (chance)

64
Why so many Theistic Evolutionists?

• The majority of people and scientists today
  believe in macroevolution (microbe to man).
• But new evidence shows that macroevolution is
  scientifically and statistically impossible.
• Now, many theists are saying that God helped this
  violent process of evolution along.
• But this makes God a Monster, desiring and
  designing survival of the fittest / cruelest.

65
Science, Philosophy, Politics

• Science and politics have become inseparable
  because of funding and regulation policies.
  Moreover, politicians intervene in the practice
  of science, sometimes diverting science and the
  interpretation of scientific findings away from
  where the evidence leads to directions deemed
  politically desirable.

Atheistic Evolutionists Believe

• Nobody nothing produced everything, through a
  process of mutations and survival of the fittest
  (believing the fossil record shows millions of
  years of violent competition, pain, fear,
  suffering, death).
• This is the heart of Hitlers WAY of life.
• Atheistic evolutionists cant explain LIFE
  scientifically.
• Because of the Law of Biogenesis the Myth of
  Mutations.

74
Hitlers Way

• http//www.wise.virginia.edu/history/wciv2/kampf.h
  tml
•    He who would live must fight. He who does not
  wish to fight in this world, where permanent
  struggle is the law of life, has not the right to
  exist. Such a saying may sound hard but, after
  all, that is how the matter really stands.

75
Theistic Evolutionists Believe

• A God designed and directed millions of years of
  violent competition, pain, fear, suffering,
  death, BEFORE Adam sinned.
• Theistic evolutionists cant explain DEATH
  theologically.
• Because the Bible says that death is the wages of
  sin, the after effect of separation from God.

Gospel Depends on Eden

• 1 Corinthians 1520-22
• But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has

• For since by man came death, by Man also
  came the resurrection of the dead.
• For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all

• Hypothesis Hypo-thesis underlying belief
• Hypo (under) Thesis (belief, proposition)
• Formally, scientifically a testable prediction
  
• Can be supported or falsified, but never proven.
  (Math is provable.)
• Theory a hypothesis that is further supported
  by evidence, not YET falsified. Evolution is
  not a good theory.
• Bio-logic (Greek for the Word Logos / logical)
• Scientific Method fits the biblical process of
  logical discernment for what we believe and how
  we live.

86
Assumptions without sufficient evidence can be
dangerously misleading.
87

• Assumptions can be dangerous, especially in
  science. . . . . assumptions often graduate to
  articles of faith religious beliefs, and new
  observations are forced to fit them. Eventually,
  if the volume of troublesome information i.e.,
  new evidence becomes unsustainable, the
  orthodoxy majority belief must collapse.

Why is the Gospel so Important?

• Good or Bad News?
• The gospel says that Jesus died to pay the
  penalty for mans sin.
• God told Adam in Genesis that if He rebelled, the
  result would be the beginning of death.
• God withdrew a measure of His protection and
  allowed the escalation of disorder, leading to
  death.

94
According to Genesis

• God is NOT the Creator of disease death.
• Gods Eden was one of perfect peace and order
  that revealed His character of love.
• Satan, sin, separation the source of
  suffering.
• Doubt ? Disobedience ? Disorder ? Dysfunction ?
  Disease ? Death ? Dishonor of Gods Image and
  Character

95
A Promise Based on a Lie?

• If I promised to RESTORE my grading system to the
  one I used in the beginning when I gave everyone
  a guaranteed A, but in reality my A grading
  system is a MYTH since I never really did that.
• Then, my promise to RESTORE would be based on a
  LIE and not worthy of your trust.
• Gods promise restore the Earth is inseparably
  linked to a literal past Eden. (Gen 129-31)

96
Gods Promise? Isaiah 11 65

• God promises to RESTORE the earth to the way it
  was in Eden where the lion, leopard, lamb, and
  calf lived in vegetarian peace.
• But if Eden is a myth that never really existed,
  then Gods promise is based on a lie.
• The Good News Gospel is that Eden was a
  garden of peace and the coming Kingdom for all
  who embrace His Lordship will be the same.

Also, to every beast of the earth, to every bird

Theistic Evolution Effects

• Monod, Jacques, The Secret of Life, Interview
  with Laurie John, Australian Broadcasting Co.,
  June 10, 1976 (shortly before his
  death).Natural selection is the blindest, and
  most cruel way of evolving new species, and more
  and more complex and refined organisms. The
  struggle for life and elimination of the weakest
  is a horrible process, against which our whole
  modern ethics revolts. An ideal society is a
  non-selective society, one where the weak is
  protected which is exactly the reverse of the
  so-called natural law. I am surprised that a
  Christian would defend the idea that this is the
  process which God more or less set up in order to
  have evolution. Emphasis added

108
Hitlers Germany

• The entire world had begun to embrace evolution
  and eugenics.
• Hitler embraced survival of the fittest and
  eugenics as THE WAY.
• Germans, some of the most educated people,
  embraced evolution its logical fruit.
• Millions suffered and died as a result.

109
Beliefs Produce Effects

• Creation - man is special, different from
  animals put here for a purpose God is the
  authority and His law of love is the WAY we
  should live.
• Evolution - man is nothing special, just an
  advanced animal man is an accident of nature.
  There is no ultimate authority, so the law of
  lust (selfish desire, competition, and survival
  of the cruelest or Coolest) is evolutions
  WAY .
