This is the first of a two-part series. Click here to read Part 2.
The following is a list of some lesser known facts found in the Bible that disprove today’s theory of Evolution. They come from the book "101 Scientific facts and Foreknowledge" by Eternal Productions:
"1. The Bible states that God created life to "kinds". "Then God said, 'Let the earth bring forth all kinds of living creatures: cattle, creeping things, and wild animals of all kinds.' And so it happened" (Gen. 1:24). The fact that God distinguishes "kinds", agrees with what scientists observe - namely that there are horizontal genetic boundaries beyond which life cannot vary. Life produces after its own kind. Dogs produce dogs, cats produce cats, roses produce roses. Never have we witnessed one kind changing into another kind as evolution supposes. There are truly natural limits to biological change.
2. Nobel behavior understood (John 15:13) "No one has greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friends." (Also Romans 5:7-8). The Bible and history reveal that countless people have endangered or even sacrificed their lives for another. This reality is completely at odds with Darwin's theory of the survival of the fittest.
3. Chicken or egg dilemma solved (Genesis 1:20-22) "Then God said...and on earth let the birds fly beneath the dome of the sky...and let the birds multiply on the earth." Which came first the chicken or the egg? The question has plagued philosophers for centuries. The Bible states that God created birds with the ability to reproduce after their kind. Therefore the chicken was created first with the ability to make eggs! Yet, evolution has no solution for this dilemma.
4. Which came first, proteins or DNA (Revelation 4:11)? "Worthy are You, Lord our God, to receive glory and honor and power, for You created all things; because of Your will they came to be and were created." For evolutionists, the chicken or egg dilemma goes even deeper. Chickens consist of proteins. The code for each protein is contained in the DNA/RNA system. However, proteins are required in order to manufacture DNA. So which came first: proteins or DNA? the ONLY explanation is they were created together.
5. The First Law of Thermodynamics established (Genesis 2:1-2). "Thus the heavens and the earth and all their array were completed..." The First Law states that the total quantity of energy and matter in the universe is a constant. One form of energy or matter may be converted into another, but the total quantity always remains the same. Therefore the creation is finished, exactly as God said way back in Genesis.
6. The Second Law of Thermodynamics (Entropy) explained (Psalm 102:26-27). "Of old You established the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They shall perish, but You remain though all of them grow old like a garment. Like clothing You change them, and they are changed." This law states that everything in the universe is running down, deteriorating, constantly becoming less and less orderly. Entropy (disorder) centered when mankind rebelled against God - resulting in the curse (Genesis 3:17; Romans 8:20-22). Historically most people believed the universe was unchangeable. Yet modern science verifies that the universe is "growing old like a garment" (Hebrews 1:11). Evolution directly contradicts this law.
7. The first three verses of Genesis accurately express all known aspects of the creation (genesis 1:1-3). Science expresses the universe in terms of time, space, matter, and energy. In Genesis chapter one we read: "In the beginning (time) God created the heavens (space) and the earth (matter)...Then God said, "Let there be light (energy)." No other creation account agrees with the observable evidence.
8. The universe had a beginning (Genesis 1:1; Hebrews 1:10-12). Starting with the studies of Albert Einstein in the early 1900s and continuing today, science has confirmed the Biblical view that the universe had a beginning. When the Bible was written most people believed the universe was eternal. Science has proven them wrong, but the Bible correct.
9. Reproduction explained (Genesis 1:27-28: 2:24; mark 10:6-8). "God created man in His image, in the divine image He created them; male and female He created them. God blessed them, saying: be fertile and multiply..." While evolution has no mechanism to explain how male and female reproductive organs evolved at the same time, the Bible says that from the beginning God made them male and female in order to propagate the human race and animal kinds.
10. Rejecting the Creator results in moral depravity (Romans 1:20-32). The Bible warns that when mankind rejects the overwhelming evidence for a creator, lawlessness will result. Since the theory of evolution has swept the globe, abortion, pornography, genocide, etc. have all risen sharply.
11. God created all mankind from one blood (Acts 17:26; genesis 5). "He made from one the whole human race to dwell on the entire surface of the earth..." Today researches have discovered that we have all descended from one gene pool. For example, a 1995 study of a section of Y chromosomes from 38 men from different ethnic groups around the world was consistent with the Biblical teaching that we all come from one man (Adam).
12. Origin of the major language groups explained (Genesis 11). After the rebellion at Babel, God scattered the people by confounding the one language into many languages. Evolution teaches that we all evolved from a common ancestor, yet offers no mechanism to explain the origin of the thousands of diverse languages in existence today."
Next week we will list more facts from the Bible.
