Three Proofs for a
Creator
Proof Number One
Did Somebody Make me???
Suppose a team of engineers
spent millions of hours and billions of dollars making a robot that can see because
(and only because) 'it' has a video camera (or
cameras) in its head.
Let's suppose that this robot can also walk upright
-- because it has legs and feet -- with joints and electric circuitry that
were Designed for walking.
Let's also suppose that this robot can hear and speak
-- in 30 different languages -- because -- and only because -- it was Designed and
Programmed to do so: with specifically designed, man-made audio amplifiers,
software programs for speaking,
air pumps, vocal chords, etc.
And if we were to take a survey of people with at least a 3rd grade education,
it is very likely that an overwhelming Majority of people (including kids) would agree that the robot was
Designed and Created by
intelligent people, as opposed to the mere properties of matter, energy,
chance, and millions or billions of years?
Yet as complicated as this robot is, it still
can't "mate" with another robot, become "pregnant," and
give birth to little baby robots. That's because it isn't Designed
to do so, because scientists and engineers are not smart enough to do
so.
This suggests to those who are
willing to accept the obvious implications: i.e. that you and I are even more complicated
-- if not far more so -- than such a man-made machine: that could only come
about by Lots and Lots of Design
So if such a robot could only come about by
Design and integration of it's many individual
parts (i.e. Creation), how much more so for us: that we also must have a Designer and Creator?
PS: For those who don't know, scientists have yet to
observe even one life-based protein form by itself -- apart from being
constructed by a pre-existing organism: including "simple" ones only 8-9 amino acids long.

Proof Number Two
Evidence of Design or
Quick Adaptation?
One
of the most fascinating creatures is the butterfly. It had never
occurred to me how this small creature provides strong evidence of a
creator until I heard a micro-biologist named Dr. Duane Gish, elaborate on how
the rapid transformation that takes place during
metamorphosis is diametrically opposed to the evolutionary beliefs: which
propose that living organisms change little by little, over long periods of Time.
 The transformation from caterpillar to butterfly
poses a Major Problem for evolutionary beliefs. This is because caterpillars come from
butterflies. But evolutionary theory says that life changes from one form to
another over many millions of years -- as a result of multitudes
of tiny mistakes in the DNA. So if evolution were true, then how did the
first two caterpillars transform themselves into fully mature
butterflies in such a short time-frame (of about 14 days)?
I say “they” because both the male and the female are needed to make
butterfly eggs. What makes this more amazing is that during
“metamorphosis” the caterpillar’s internal organs dissolve into a liquid
before they “morph” into a butterfly.
What
the first two “protopillars” (or pre-caterpillars) did is the equivalent of a man and
woman placing themselves in a deep sleep and within a
matter of months Transforming themselves into flying angels
with wings, and henceforth giving birth to "people" that also
undergo the same transformation.
For
without both male and female butterflies (with fully developed reproductive
organs) you don’t have butterfly eggs, and without butterfly eggs, you
don’t have caterpillars, and without caterpillars, you don’t have cocoons.
All of these things had to come about at the same time, and because of this, it
appears that Someone (pre) programmed the DNA of these beautiful creatures from the
beginning of their existence.
 Note
also that it wasn’t just the reproductive organs that formed in days as
opposed to millions of years, but also wings, and wing veins -- with
fluid that's pumped both into their wings, to make them unfold, and then back out, to make them light.
Butterflies also have new jointed
legs, with muscles and nerves connected in just the right
places so that the newly transformed creature can stand up and walk.
Their wings are also jointed and have muscles attached in just the right place
so that they can rapidly flap them back and forth to fly. They also have
much more complex eyes and antennae that somehow spontaneously organized
itself from a liquid mixture. Note also that this transformation didn’t just happen once, but tens of thousands of times with
each species of butterfly,
moth,
and flying beetle.
In this
regard, Frank
Sherwin
quotes Richard
Milton
(a
non-creationist) as follows with regard to this mystery:
"...
no stage or aspect of this physical process can be accounted for or even
guessed at with our current knowledge of chemistry, physics, genetics, or
molecular biology, extensive though they are. It is completely beyond
us. We know practically nothing about the plan or program governing
the metamorphosis, or the organizing agency (behind) ... this
plan." 14
 In
other words, in spite of the pronouncements of people who call
themselves "scientists," the fact is that such evidence very
strongly suggests -- if not proves -- that such complex creatures were
programmed
to
transform
by an intelligence
far superior to ours, and that the evidence of design is
overwhelming: which leads to the logical conclusion that there
must be a Creator. But in spite of these facts, and major problems for
the theory of evolution -- or slow creation -- the Mass Media,
popular "science" publications, and many University
Professors appear
to be Hell-Bent on ignoring any and all evidence that is staring them in the
face -- along with the even
more astounding "odds"
against a
first (hypothetical) self-replicating organism coming to
life via purely natural processes.
In
other words, they believe what they believe, in spite of the odds and evidence against
it, and
have chosen to believe something that is not supported by
the facts -- as opposed to something that is. And in spite of these
things, many of our Institutions of
higher learning are dominated by ignorant and willful atheists who cling to
any and every scrap of purported evidence that agrees with their agenda of brainwashing
their students to believe in a Fairy
Tale.

Proof Number Three
The
Facts of Life
Those who hail evolution as a
“fact” are either ignorant of the facts, making them up, and/or lying about them.
The fact is that scientists have not even been able to create
the amino acid alphabet (of 20
amino acids) that make up
proteins.
And in this regard, the concoctions that origin of life researchers have come up with almost always consist of 50/50 mixtures of L-type (left-handed) and D-type (right-handed) amino acids.
This is about as far from making a living organism as a piece of silver is
from a computer (with monitor, printer, cables, connectors and electricity) running on a
well-designed program like Windows XP or 7... For even
the most "simple," self-replicating, bacterium contains thousands of proteins, of
many different types, that consist of left-handed amino acids --
each of which is connected in the right order ( like words that make up
sentences), while the most basic
protein (only 8 amino acids) has never been observed to form
by itself -- apart from being made by the machinery in a
living cell: i.e. DNA, RNA, ribosomes,
signaling proteins, polymerase (micro-copy machines), etc.
 For
example, Mycoplasma
is perhaps the most basic self-replicating bacteria ever discovered.
It consists of about 40,000 proteins of 600 different types, has 482
genes, and can only survive and replicate if it has a (more complicated)
host organism to help it survive: since it is a parasite.
To suppose that such a creature as a simple bacteria came into
being by itself over millions or billions of years is an example of man's
willingness to invent or speculate about things which he cannot
explain. Such beliefs are not based on facts, nor empirical (observed) science, but rather on
a blind faith in the power of unintelligent matter to organize itself by
time and chance, avoid toxic substances and overcome nature's destructive forces: such as
heat, cold, oxidation, and
water
breakdown
by hydrolysis.
In this regard, one
origin of life researcher spoke of a molecule called 2-aminooxizole
with regard to one of the most complex molecules that have been observed to
form naturally. In other words, scientists have observed two amino
acids coming together to form a peptide, but they have not observed even the
most basic protein come together in this way. In this regard, Dr.
Stephen Meyer discusses the difficulty of getting even a modest size
protein -- of 150 amino acids -- to form naturally in a book on the complexity
of the cell. In fact, he and other researchers have calculated that it
will not happen in 4.5 billion years: even if the whole entire earth
were a primordial slime pool with only the right type of ingredients.
Is
there any reason to expect that a Creative bolt of Lightning, or Bubble could
produce a half-way-formed "pre-mycoplasmic"
organic blob of cells that would -- over
millions
and millions of years -- make itself more and more
complex to the
point where it could maintain and Reproduce itself ? Or would such a
hypothetical blob of matter simply decay and degrade via natural processes?
Keep
in mind that for such a hypothetical blob to "select" a benefit, it would first need to
be able to reproduce itself -- which it can't -- and that the thing
"selected" for would need to convey some sort of immediate benefit.
Keep in mind also that without a "Selector," pre-programmed
target, or overriding Intelligence to oversee what random mistakes are
taking place, such a blob of cells would have no ability to 'select' for anything because it
isn't alive, has no brain, and is blind to everything around it.
Like it or not, the facts of science
declare that such an imaginary
"pre-creature" would not complete this process on its own,
but would instead simply
decay back into the matter from which
it came. In other words, a belief in evolution is
based on faith, as opposed to scientifically observed
and/or demonstrated facts.
However this is NOT what children and students are being taught in public schools and
colleges, but instead they are being brainwashed to believe something
that logic alone tells us is not true: much less a so-called "fact"
of science.
But, for the sake of those interested, lets look more closely at the
inner workings of the cell. For example, living organisms possess a
molecule called Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (or DNA) that contains all of the information needed to make a
specific life-form, and that enables it to maintain and repair itself.
The DNA molecule is itself also divided
into sections called chromosomes, which are further broken down into genes. One DNA molecule may have thousands of different genes:
each of which may be used to create hundreds of different proteins. For
example, human DNA is estimated to have about 23,000
genes, yet our bodies
contain about 2 million different proteins. In other words, each one of our
genes has the information needed to create about 900 different proteins.
Genes are relatively small portions of chemically coded information,
like letters that make up a sentence, and that are used by the cell machinery
to make proteins. The DNA cannot decode itself, but requires
the aid of numerous proteins that don't form naturally to do so. For
example, DNA polymerase, helicase, mRNA, ribosomes, etc. If a DNA molecule were compared to a book, then its genes would be the equivalent to
individual (long) words or sentences of that book, and the DNA equivalent to
the Book itself, but a living organism is more complex than a book since it can actually
maintain and reproduce itself.
The DNA in living organisms
makes molecular machinery (as in complex molecules called polymerase and
helicase) that enable it to copy its information. For example, when a DNA
molecule copies one of its genes, the copy is called RNA. This RNA molecule
then leaves the DNA and travels to the golgi
body, where it is spliced and edited and then sent on to a ribosome, where its information is
re-read and translated from a 4-letter (DNA/RNA) coded language (that's like a
binary code), to a 20-letter amino-acid / protein code (that is more like the
English alphabet). This pre-protein then must be folded into a specific shape
before it becomes a mature / useful protein that can perform a specific
function. Proteins are not known to form naturally in slime-pools,
oceans, or laboratories, but rather are only
made by living organisms.
Living cells are also quite fragile and require a protective membrane
to enclose them and to keep harmful substances out. If they get too hot or cold they will
die. If there isn't
enough oxygen, or if there is too little or too much of certain substances
they will
also cease to function. Even water
itself is not allowed to come inside the cell membrane without
being strictly regulated: the same goes for all other elements. The cell
also maintains a proper PH (of about 7.35 -- 7.45) for DNA, RNA and protein
synthesis to take place.
In other words, life is
like a highly ordered and
complex program (or book) that is hundreds to
thousands of pages long and so far nature, on its own, can't even write a single line of that
book. The popular theory of evolution proposes
that the book of life -- with all of its twists and turns and complexity -- wrote itself, without the aid of
an intelligence; however, this has not been verified by science, nor by any
laboratory or scientist.
Some bacteria
and cells also have
microscopic
motors
that are used to propel themselves forward or backward and spin at
10,000 rpms in either direction. Did they
also "evolve" by themselves?
